I know FF 8's going to run away with this, but I have to say it never bothered me. The twist certainly doesn't hold up under a microscope now that I'm old and bitter, but the younger, less worldly me actually liked it. Or maybe it's just that I like the events that framed the twist well enough (Trabia Garden beforehand and the battle with Galbadia Garden afterwards) that I never really stopped to overanalyze the twist event that much.

On the other hand, FF 12 came out when I was older and bitter, so that got my vote. 'My evil twin did it' is pretty damn cliched; at least 8's twist contains some metric of FF-brand creativity. And the insult to injury here is that Basch's story relevance plummets after this reveal, while Gabranth's stays steady throughout the story. I still like the game overall and love parts of it, but it was the first main series FF game I played where the holes in the story were too obvious to ignore.
