First of all, HUZZAH FOR FINISHING BROTHERHOOD!!

As for deciding which canon-point to take Greed from, I guess it depends on how much you want to stay in familiar territory versus how much you'd like to try out a post-redemption route. You could also take him from somewhere in the middle of that redemption arc and see how the CR he develops in game either helps him continue on that path or redirects him, though maybe mentioning this isn't helping you decide? (I'm sorry if I made it worse!!!)

Greed 1.0 might give you more room for your own interpretation of the character since we're not really with him for very long and when we are, a lot of that is his fights between Ed and Bradley. Greed 2.0 might give you more to work with when coming up with ideas for how he'd react to something.

Those are also some excellent points.

With Greed 1.0, I find it fascinating how, when we see him, he’s already reached the point at which he is free of the other Homunculi and has his people, without any flashbacks to show how he got there. Like, that’s a whole big thing that canon doesn’t explore that much and that is really interesting to wonder about - what was the moment when he decided, “fuck this, I’m not following Father anymore” for the first time? What got him there? - because of how huge a choice it was.

And even though we see Greed 2.0 make the same choice, it is different when he makes it because Ling is involved that time and because he had made it before. So, like, even though it does tell us something about what the first choice was like, it is different enough to still leave me with lots of questions about the first one.

I don’t know what this tells me about which one I’m going to play here (other than that I’m not sure if I know FMA:B canon well enough to imagine how exactly the first choice went) but the choice and the fact that he made it is really fascinating to me.

Damn, so much indecision.

I think I might have to try out two Greeds on the TDM or wait for the mods’ response to my question to figure this out.

Because I have a lot of thoughts in my brain right now.
