... the Turks were never evil, though? Like, if you check out Before Crisis, that becomes abundantly clear. The Turks actually SPLIT from Shinra for a while because they were so unhappy with the way Shinra was doing things. They split from Shinra and the only person from Shinra who backed them in doing so was Reeve.

They still followed orders and dropped the plate - that's not exactly nice and not-evil behaviour. Evil henchmen are still evil, even if at a later point they decide to reform.

It's not nice behaviour, but they were shown to be conflicted and distressed about doing so. It's not like they pushed the button while cackling maniacally.

True but they still did it. Potentially murdering a village worth of people doesn't get that much less evil just because you feel a little bit bad about it.

I mean, if you're going to go that route then Reeve was also evil for not trying harder to stop President Shinra from dropping the plate, but I'm pretty sure most people won't agree with that. It's not that black and white and that's one of the great things about the game.

What Remake did a fantastic job with was showing that the majority of workers in Shinra were just regular everyday people who were trying to make a living and that it was really only the upper management who were horrible, irredeemable monsters.

I'm not saying they are full evil. I agree that it's nuanced. But YOU said they were never evil. Which I disagree with. They very much were. Conflicted yes, nuanced yes, still murdered a town full of people.

And not to go full Godwin's Law but the people working in the Nazi administration were also just "people doing their jobs" but you'd still not say that they were all fully innocent of their government's crimes.

Thies side of their characterization was stillstill shown in the remake though
