    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.

    I feel that Seymour was pushed too much to be the bad guy. It's like he couldn't just give up and let Sin/Yevon be the real baddie.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    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.

    Again, no. There was no "religion" that worshiped Occurians nor any other deity or figure for that matter which is the very basis of a religion.

    Just because a game depicts a deity doesn't mean it's automatically part of some religion. By that logic, the Artemis Bow found in many games, or something like "Thor's Hammer" would be considered a religious relic.
    The Occuria are referred to as the Gods. God = presence of religion.

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

    It didn't seem like square really wanted to hide the fact that Seymour was a bad guy. The twist was that the other maesters with working WITH him. So Seymour's obviousness shouldn't really annoy anyone.

    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.

    Auron dying relatively young and then some how aging even after death.

    The fact that there isn't any way to go around having to dodge so many thunder bolts in order to complete Lulu's ultimate weapon.

    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.

    I was also annoyed by the fact that the relegion shared its name with the "god" it worshipped (assuming they did actually worship Yu-Yevon in some way, even if he was all but forgotten, instead of worshipping the organization), because sometimes it made it difficult to tell exactly which they were talking about.
