Best Motivation?

[Wolf Kanno]

Best motivation? I'm going with Elpizo and a few others on this one and say its Xande, Kuja, and Vayne. All three had rather sympathetic motives, Vayne especially could be considered an anti-hero rather than a villain.

Sure some of the other villains have more "fun" motives but "fun" and "good" are two different things. Kefka and Ex-Death are more symbolic as villains rather than having good motives but it explains why these two are definetly the most evil of the batch.

Worst motive goes to Seymour since the game never really nailed down what it was since it seemed like it changed every time you met him.

You would understand Seymours motivation if you got the aeon Anima you see his mother was the fayth for Anima and she explains this.

DUN DUN DUNN

Anyway seymours mother left him at a young age to become the fayth and he was sad and blah blah blah so his mother comforted him by becomiong his aeon. He enjoyed this incredible power but soon lusted for more and Anima just wasnt good enough for himso he went on a quest to get power at any cost and that is what made him a villian.

Not the best motivation but yeah.

I did get Anima and know about his past...

When you first meet him, he wants to marry Yuna so he can gain more political power, then you kill him and he still insists on marrying Yuna and kills countless people to get her, then he decides out of the blue (after he wipes out the Ronso) he wants to become the Final Aeon so he can merge with Sin and wipe out Spira and bring peace to it even though up until this point the game painted him as a power hungry politician...

Let's face it, he was written in at the last minute cause Square needed a chatty villain...
