Yeah, I really wish we could've seen things from their perspective. Other than report 01 (which I could compose an eternal rhapsody for) we just don't get a chance to follow them around and see what life is like for their side. Report 07 and Report 04 (I think...the one with Sephiroth) help expand what it's like as a Chaos member but not the Chaos folks as we'd classify them.
What I find intriguing is that these are all people who, like Cosmos' warriors were summoned against their will, but due to being more cynical, hardened by their pasts or just plain evil they do not trust one another and mostly look out for themselves. I want to see how their plans are formed, what motivates them to pick on certain characters and how they behave behind closed doors. Mostly I'm interested by the fact that they're smarter (mostly), stronger and more experienced than our poor heroes, yet they're still not in the situation they want to be in and work in their own ways to overcome this.
Also there's the fact that some of them aren't evil and make genuine attempts to help each other or people on Cosmos' side. Golbez is a bloody saint, Jecht had no clue that the consequences of the conflict = genuine death and Kuja originally tried to help Zidane and pals take on Chaos but he got caught out and mind raped into a bad guy. Whilst the Cosmos guys have the goals I want to suceed, Chaos' folks are the people I want to follow as an audience member.
