Who else thinks Seymour is underrated as a villian??

^That post is hard to read.
I'm so so with Seymour like most other FF villains. I agree he made a more lasting impression on me than Vayne did. Yeah he did sort of looked like he had a pot belly too. He could've been done better by his appearance on Gagazet and especially inside Sin he grew less important plot wise. He was the only FF villain that married the main female so I have to give props for that as well. I forgot the reason for the marriage, but I don't think it was just because he found her attractive. It had to be more than that.
Overall, he was just ok.

His name is Seymour... What is he going to do? Miscalculate your taxes and make the IRS audit you? On second thought that is kind of scary...

(SPOILER)His ultimate goal is to control Sin. He wanted her to use him as the Final Aeon, that way he could take Jecht's place.

LOL

He was an ok villain.

I agree with MILF that the Mt. Gagazet battle was extremely annoying and probably the most difficult storyline boss in the game (possibly with the exception of Yunalesca). I found that I really enjoyed the boss battles against Seymour, but was relatively indifferent to him as a villain. I mean, in terms of his role in the story, I certainly found his motivations and plan to be exciting enough to keep me interested, but the overall feel of him didn't leap out to me like others. I much preferred FFIX's Kuja in that respect.

One thing I will say about Seymour though is I liked the dynamic with Yuna, that by being able to say no to Seymour and work against him allowed her to really show her strength of character and independence. His theme music and other motifs were quite creepy and done very well, while his character design I could take or leave really.

I was really disppointed to see Ject in Dissidia instead of Seymour. Jecht was never a real villain! But it goes to show that maybe, Seymour didn't make enough of an impact on the fans.

Personally, I think it's because he didn't have any real connection with the game's protagonist, Tidus. Look at the other main villains of the series: Kefka, controlling Terra. Sephiroth, used to work with Cloud, both injected with Mako etc. Kuja is Zidane's "brother". Seymour...... has no real connection with Tidus at all.

I didn't like Seymour, his voice got on my nerves, it just felt... wrong.

It was more creepy than menacing. But FFX had some dubious voice acting all round...

I never liked anything about Seymour. I didnt like his look, his voice, his boss fights, his religion, nothing!!!! There are plenty better villains in the FF series, but I guess in this case you can't hold that against Seymour since FFX had an entire religion against you so his part wasnt center of attention a lot of the time.

After (SPOILER)you kill him in the Macalania Temple I pretty much forget about him after that. Then when he pops up later, I'm all like "Who the hell is this?!......ohhhhh.......riiiight."

What I don't get is how the party didn't get he was evil until when they fight him, I agree with the Spoony One when he asks if Seymour has to have a lightning cloud following him for them to get it that he's evil!

We only thought he was evil because of the creepy music that comes up when he's around.

The characters cant hear that music.

Not just his music, listen to conservation between him and Auron, the fact that he summons a powerful aeon at the Luca stadium that wipes out the fiends, I as the player knows right away I'm gonna later fight that, but shouldn't the party think with something like that, shouldn't he go on a pilgramage? And there's just an aura about that even if I turned off the music, I could look at how he's acting and say "I'm fighting this guy later."

As far as his name goes I never really just heard 'Seymour' I always heard 'Seymour Guado' or whatever his full name was. I liked how he looked, I liked his battles I just didn't like how he just kind of disappeared. I had expected him to come back for some sort of final battle or something, but it never happened on as grand a scale as I was hoping. :\

I've always had a thing for tragic villians, and Seymour fit that particular role quite well. Furthermore, he was manipulative and charming in a sinister manner, which made for some great scenes and conflicts throughout the game's storyline.
