Although the quality of the story is not too directly related to gameplay, the plot of the game has always been a part of the players' attention, especially the RPG that focuses on the plot, and everyone has a stricter standard of comment on it. In the 90s, Square was famous for its high-quality RPGs, and the overall evaluation of the work, including the plot, has always been not low, but sometimes because of the needs of the plot, there will inevitably be some characters with personality problems that players hate.
Of course, if it is a rape role or a clown, it is not a big problem, but these annoying roles are sometimes supporting actresses and even heroines who occupy a lot of the scenes. Because players have long-term contact with them, they are more likely to annoy people. There is also a popular saying among players that "Square's Three Evil Girls", which refers to the most notorious evil female characters in the Square era. When talking about them, it is inevitable that they will evoke painful memories for everyone.

First of all, the first of the "Three Evil Girls of Square" is the yo-yo (ヨヨ) of the famous "Legend of the Sacred Dragon" at the end of the super tenure. In her work, she is a princess of a kingdom who guards the dragon with the dragon Bahamut as the guardian, who has the ability to listen to the voice of the dragon and communicate with the dragon clan, and is both a green plum bamboo horse and a lover with the protagonist Ofebar (ビュウ), who is the captain of the kingdom's dragon team. Later, the kingdom was conquered by neighboring empires, and the empire captured Yo-Yo and imprisoned him in order to obtain the power of the dragon, while Barr joined the rebel army to liberate the kingdom and the princess, and became the central figure of the rebels.
Coming here, the story was originally very kingly, but when Barr reunites with Yo-Yo, the player realizes that something is getting wrong. It turns out that during Yoyo's captivity, she has fallen in love with the enemy general Palbareos (パルパレオス), who has been taking care of her, and has broken up with Barreos in the land of their memories (rumored to be married after visiting), and has broken up with Barrios. For pure love players such as me who love the king's way, the leisurely and different ideas are difficult to accept, but the relationship between men and women has never been absolute. If yo-yo's actions had been a little more cautious later, she might not have been criticized to the point of being a "wicked woman", but after she and Palbareos joined the team as companions, they often greeted me in front of people. Companions say that they will hear the "princess's cry of pain" at night, and sometimes when the player enters yo-yo's room, he will see yo-yo sleeping, Palbareos leaving in a panic, and so on...
Seeing the various out-of-line behaviors of the protagonist's former lovers, it is difficult not to think of the four words of watery Yanghua. Unfortunately, after forming a relationship with Palaboreos, Yo-Yo has always regarded Barr as a passerby, but before the final battle, he broke out a sentence "You are still my important person... Even if it's just for now, please support me as you used to! Such a shameful remark clearly treats the protagonist as a tool man, and can be called the strongest evil girl in the history of RPG.
Alicia
As for the second Square girl, who also suffers from Stockholm syndrome like Yo-Yo, she is Princess Alicia (アリシア) in Live A Live. The structure of "Live A Live" is somewhat similar to that of "DQIV", which is to complete the independent story of each companion in different time and space before there will be a collection of chapters to fight the Great Demon King. However, the Great Demon King of this work is actually the protagonist of the Meso chapter, Osdi (オルステッド), which means that the Middle Ages is the way for the Great Demon King to become a demon.
It is said that Osti and his friend Streep (ストレイボウ) participate in a tournament held by the state, and the winner can propose to Princess Alicia, and as a result, Osti wins the competition, and the princess also accepts Osti's marriage proposal. Later, the princess was taken captive by the Demon King, so Osdi was ordered by the King to take Streep and other companions on a crusade against the Demon King. The party attacked the location of the Demon King, and Stil sacrificed himself to defeat the Demon King, but could not find any trace of the princess, so Osti and the others returned home to report to the King. Unexpectedly, Osti was magically cast by a mysterious person, mistaking the king for a demon king and killing him, and suddenly everyone became a traitor and was hunted down, and finally only Osti was left.
It was then that Osti learned that everything was Streeppou's bureau. Streep has always had a strong sense of jealousy toward Osti, and when the princess was taken captive, in order to save the princess earlier than Osti, he pretended to die in the Battle of the Demon King, and cast a spell on the protagonist to make him fall into treason, while he hid the princess himself. Osti, who reveals everything, defeats Streep, but princess Alicia suddenly appears to accuse Austi and shield Streep.
It turns out that she learned about his difficulties as a weak man when she was alone with Streep, and gradually fell in love with him. The princess saw that Streep was dead and killed herself with him. Osti, who has lost his lover, friends, companions, and country, is devastated, and eventually mistakenly enters the magic road and becomes the Great Demon King, which is the object of our crusade. Unfortunately, the princess's soul remains where she committed suicide, begging the braves (i.e., us) to stop the lover she once loved, but seems to forget that she is one of the culprits of the incident, which makes the player very disgusted and named the evil woman.
Mireyer
The third Square Evil Girl is from the first game in the Saga series, The Demon Realm Tatars, but she is not the main character of the story, but the supporting character Mireye (ミレイユ) who appears in a certain plot. The story tells that the protagonist and his party obtain the white crystal from the tyrant White Tiger, who rules the air world, join him as his guard in order to approach the white tiger, and follow his instructions to find the rebel leader Joan of Arc (ジャンヌ). After finding Joan of Arc, she tells me that her twin sister Mireyer was captured by the White Tiger, hoping that the protagonist will rescue her sister, so the protagonists take over the commission.
But in fact, Mireyer was not captured by the White Tiger, but surrendered to the White Tiger for selfish interests, and used himself as bait to lure Out Joan of Arc and expose our true face. The White Tiger, seeing that Mireyer had no use value, wanted to destroy her, at which point Joan of Arc sacrificed to protect her sister, and we took this opportunity to go to war with the White Tiger and finally win the victory to recover the White Crystal. Mireye is sad to see that her sister is dead, but what is unexpected is that she will be angry with us and tell the protagonist and others to "disappear quickly", how do you think that your sister's death was caused by your own hands?
Lenoa
Betrayal and shirking responsibility are enough to make Mireye be characterized as a villain, but in the end she is only a small supporting role, with few appearances and low popularity, so some players have reservations about classifying this small character as the "Three Evil Girls of Square", so the name of another candidate gradually emerges, she is the "FFVIII" heroine Linoa (リノア) that many players know.
Lenoa's problem is not just about something, but about the unworldly personality and various reckless actions she shows in her work. For example, he often acts recklessly regardless of the overall situation, and uses some kind of spell when he first meets the male protagonist Squall (スコール), which makes people feel irritated. In addition, some players (especially those who can only accept that the male and female protagonists are first loves) are very concerned about her past relationship with Skaul's rival Sefa (サイファー), so they have a very bad impression of her.
There is no denying that Lenoa's personality is not liked by everyone, but if you think about it, the theme of FFVIII is "the growth of young people", and her immaturity represents this. On the other hand, Lenoa cherishes her relationship with her companions very much, has never betrayed us, and her relationship with Cepha is also a thing of the past, and she eventually falls in love with Skoll, which is essentially a good heroine, compared to the previous ones, it is simply a saint, right?
Kaori rice
Compared with Mireye and Linoya, there is also a candidate who is more suitable to become one of the three evil girls, Inari (カトリイネ) in Half-Ripe Heroes vs. 3D. Any friends who have played this game know that she is an ugly-looking, self-confident but extremely explosive troublesome character, in addition to constantly annoying the protagonist in the story, the system does not let go of the player. For example, every month the player has to pay tribute to her to squander, or if she finds that she is also there when she enters the hot spring, we will halve the HP or be comatose and unable to move for a while, and there is no scene from the beginning to the end of the work that will save her reputation. After all, the purpose of the development team in order to adapt to the style of the game is to create a funny character, and the hatefulness of Ina Katori can be regarded as her cuteness, right?
So, in the end, who should the third most evil woman choose to be "deserved"? I think everyone has their own answer in mind.
