I see Edelweiss as the "disc 1" villain that you hate to like. Is she the real villain ? No !!! She is not ideologically invested with the bad people. She is a thorn in your side that you will eventually work out. Who knows ? She may even turn into someone you would hardly call ally but share a common enemy or interest with by the end of the game.
The best example I could give would be the Turks from FFVII (sorry ! i have only really played like 3 FF games so maybe there is a better example) - they are just silly rivals squabbling with the protagonist, not true enemies.
