Who else thinks Seymour is underrated as a villian??

seymour and kuja are my two joint favorite villians of all of Final Fantasy!!

Seymour was such a manipulative cunning bastard. When I found out he killed his father I was pissed. Especially when you confront him about it and he just shrugs it off and says "What of it?"

he may not have caused the most destruction like other FF villians but he had charisma and he was just soo easy to hate, and thats what I think makes a good villian :)

what do you say??

not many people like Seymour as a villian but him and Kuja are both joint #1's for me

I think the concept of Seymour was awesome - a vindictive half-Guado like he is - and his storyline was great, his role in the plot great, all that. But then his damn outfit and his voice made him just.... eh. I think he gets knocked down a few notches in awesome-villain-ness by his bizarre appearance and voice.

It can be argued that Kuja and Sephiroth and such are bizarre looking too, but they're appearance is actually more toned down than Seymour's. Bizarre, yes. But not to the scale of Seymour's bizarre-ness.

Plus, Seymour's outfit always gave the illusion of a pot-belly.

really? i thought his gay voice and sexual ambiguity (OK not sexual i guess because he married Yuna but you kno what i mean) in general just made him even more creepy

I really didnt like his name

He wasn't bad, I just don't think of him as the main villain. I'd have liked to see the scene where he reveals the whereabouts of Jecht to the rest of the party cranked up a notch, though xD

He was bland. Even before he died, he had zero personality. He was an annoying nonentity who should never have been written into the game.

Same here. Seymour was a really lame name for a villain. He shares his name with the geek from Little Shop of Horrors.

He wasn't the best villain, but he certainly is a really good and underated one. However, I have to agree with Jess, he doesn't really seem like the main villain because he doesn't feature too much after the first half of the game and when (SPOILER)you find him inside Sin I was like "...Uhhh, that's kinda random." I think even SE underated him because they didn't use him tho his full potential by side-lining him a bit.

But all in all he was underrated and a really good villain.

Square didn't exploit Seymour's full potential.
still better than Vayne and better it appears than the last boss in FFXIII.:roll2

This.

I have to say I liked Seymour a lot.

Seymour is possibly my favorite Human nemesis in all of FF. I just wish the other encounters with him were as hard as the one on Mt. Gagazet.

I dunno, the one on the Highbridge got me quite badly on my first playthrough. I might have been kinda under-levelled though...

I think he's one of the more sympathetic -- or at least understandable -- villains. His motives for wanting to destroy Spira were very misguided, but sort of made sense. He'd felt lots of pain from losing his mother, and he didn't want the rest of Spira to keep facing similar pain. So he thought that by becoming Sin, he could stop it.

Again, very misguided, but I can sort of get what he was driving at.
