    Villains don't need a reason to kill people.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    If the majority of people can accept that FFVI don't have a main character, why they can't accept that FFX don't have a main villain?

    While it didn't have a main character, Terra was the most important, her theme was the world's theme and she is on the title design.

    I would say in that case, terra being most prominent, that seymour is the most prominent villain.

    While Seymour is far and away the game's most prominent villain, it seems to me that FFX is very plot driven, that is to say, events both in game and in Spira's history influence characters and their actions. Take Seymour for example: his character is heavily influenced by the death of his mother. This drove him to total despair. He came to believe that all life desired extinction (much like necron in FFX), and developed a messianic complex. That said, it could be argued that Seymour's character was brought about by the death of his mother. In this way, he is more of a tragic victim of events, which are really beyond his control. Similarly, Yu Yevon was acting at the time when he created Sin to preserve his people from Bevelle, which threatened to slaughter them. He did not intend innocents to die, but in becoming so mindless lost control of Sin.
    Of course, there are in FFX small, greedy characters such as Wen Kinoc, but these seem no more than minor villains who hae no real bearing.
    FFX is a tragedy, and all of its characters are affected in some way by the tragedy that permeates the plot.
