He was very obviously a bad guy, but I didn't even think to make the connection between the fiends and Seymour. You have a good point there.Quote:

The coincidence was a bit too much.
Fiends happen to break into an extremely heavily guarded facility at the height of the tournament, when there were the most people there, and, thus, when security would have been at its highest? And it all occurs when there just happens to be a summoner there who is powerful enough to defeat them all in seconds while the largest amount of people can look at him in awe?
Yeah, subtle timing there, Seymour.
The Occuria are referred to as the Gods. God = presence of religion.Quote:

The very first scene to include him has spooky music, if I recall. What was anyone to expect? :PQuote:

The obviousness was only part of it. He was a bland nonentity with zero personality. He was a wannabe villain, not a real one. I mean, he basically went around shouting "look at me, I'm evil" by the end. He was trying so hard to be a credible villain, but it was so pathetic I couldn't even feel sorry for him.
Yeah I'd have to agree with that. Seymour in the way he carried himself was never going to be anything but a villain. And the fact Tidus the main character took a dislike to him from day 1 is a bit of a give away too.Quote:

It's no problem for a god to exist without there being a religion to worship it. Except that, you know, gods don't exist.
There are in FFX.
