A game where everyone has there own motive.....

sounds kinda like crono cross

the one dude is looking for a treasure, the other magickian turned you into cats and feels an obligation, a couple of them are trying to prevent the opposing army, exc. (minus a few charactors)

in fact, you will find this trait classic for most charactors/sub charactors, in any GOOD rpg. This is (in my opinion) that the "person stumbles upon something that changes his life" scenario is so popular, abeit a bit cheesy. Its not like the origanal FF where 4 people got up to just fight, this is being seen less and less. The problem is no longer lack of a plot, but lack of a NEW plot.

But yes, bad charactors should have better motives. I liked FFX and FFT where the "bad guys" were very realistic. Another older game "inendo" comes to mind. As well as the first half of FFVI (before the stupid clown becomes big)

Sometimes the bad guys just do what they do to be entertaining bad guys.

No One Lives Forever is a good example. Cate Archer gets knocked out repeatedly by the Irish Guy. The henchman asks, "Why don''t you just kill her now?" And he answers, "I''ll do things the way I please!"

Intelligent plots have their place, but so do plots that are there to make fun of themselves.

Yes, but the problem is that there are *no* intelligent plots lately (past couple years, with a few exceptions). Sure, it''s funny to watch evil-guy satire on the big screen or on your computer, but it starts to get tired after a few years.

Analogous to the guy that still thinks that the "Legally Blonde" series should have another run.
