DDFF Meme: Day 1. Preferred Faction?

I'm starting this meme thing. That's right--RAI'S ON THE BANDWAGON. For the next thirty days I will try to offer a coherent response to the questions! And probably fail miserably, since I tend to talk in circles when I get excited. (...blog in circles???)
So, here we go: Choosin' a Faction!
I actually found myself torn with this one. We’re supposed to be rooting for Team Cosmos, since they’re the Good Guys (TM), and Team Chaos is comprised of obvious Bad Guys (TM) like Garland, and Kefka, and the Cloud of—
But wait…if I remember right, the Cloud of Darkness is a being that comes into existence when there’s an oversaturation of the Light element, bringing the balance back… Though technically she/it is an antagonist, in the mythos of the game, she/it is a force of nature itself and can no more be eradicated wholly than time itself. And Shantotto is Straight Up Nuts, terrifying most of Team Cosmos in the first game.
Character Alignment as a deciding factor is out, then… Looks like I just have to go with my gut.
And the answer is…
TEAM COSMOS.
[I cannot draw, so imagine there is a lovely photo of the goddess right here.]
No, it’s not because of the numbers of heroes, or because of their attractiveness levels (Frankly, if THAT was the deciding factor, I think Team Chaos would have one solely on the merits of PalaMecia). Rather, it is because of what they represent: the chance for the conflicts to be abated, so that everyone can realize their dreams in peace. Members of Team Chaos have their own, yes, but they tend to involve the destruction of others’ dreams in the process.
…then again for Team Cosmos to win, Team CHAOS must be stopped from realizing their goals…
Look, don’t overthink it, mmkay?

Pfft. Cosmos could throw her entire bishi line-up at Team Chaos but it wouldn't make any difference once Chaos called out thongboy. Having Seph, CoD and Palamecia (and depending on the cycle Jecht or Cloud, Tidus and Terra) is just some much needed aesthetic overkill.
Team Chaos proabably has the biggest number of problems alignment wise. I mean even after the huge defection that occured in 012 they've still got problems in the next cycle. Then in 013 they've got 3 guys on their side who aren't evil and are only participating because either (a) they're planning an uprising and need to keep up the facade (b) they have no clue what's going on and just assume this is all fun and games (c) they planned an uprising, got caught out and then the demon clown mind raped them into OOC disorder. (Kefka's an awesome bastard...)
TEAM CHAOS: There's no such thing as consent.
That should so be their motto.
