In their own minds what they are doing is for the betterment of all and is thus good. However their methods are often found to be disagreeable to outsiders and are thus evil.
So really applying either term to them isn't doing their dynamic justice.
Correct. I don't think a lot of people are playing evil for the sake of being evil if they are a bit quirky. Me, my fiance, and my friend all play a Garlean family. Very rich and somewhat powerful. They are smart, ruthless, and believe they are doing the best for Eorzea by A. either pruging it because the Primals are dangerous or B. having them all fall under the Garlean Empire. They are extremely loyal to Garlemalde but not just rank and file soldiers.
Yu can play with the trope and not be special snowflakey. I think playing an ordinary "Take all orders" soldier would be a bit boring. There's no real personality there. That doesn't mean I'm playing a super special snowflake.
