I hate this game, why does anyone play it?

His motivations, in addition to being cliche, make no damned sense. Destroying Spira will not save it, and we see proof of that thousands of times throughout the game. Heck, Seymour is proof of it himself. He was destroyed, he died, and yet he is not at rest or at peace, instead he gets even more obsessive over his destruction goals. He's more driven, more determined, and more boring after he's dead.

He think he's assisting in the suicide of people who do not want it, but that he believes to have such a desire deep down. It made perfect sense to me, especially when you keep in mind most of the unsent are supposed to become fiends, not slightly pissed-off zombies. Even then, if he were Sin, he could just sit on any unsent that stayed human. Ain't no way they're retaining their form after that.

Also I'd argue that Maechen actually seemed very happy. He got to continue wandering Spira, learning about - or rather living - its history and recounting it to others. Sometimes learning and imparting knowledge can be a joyous, satisfying thing to do. Maechen seemed to be well into it.

Oh christ did I just defend the game again?

And, no matter what your arguments of "oh, he's half-Guado, so that's why he looks like that", it doesn't change that his character design is frelling stupid. Nor, frankly, is it that accurate. His hair is far longer and more intricate than either any Guado or human character in the game. The Guado almost all have short hair, that, while styled similarly to a much smaller degree, don't match up with the far larger idiotic hair design Seymour wears.

He's a boring, cookie-cutter, stupid villain, and one of the worst, if not the worst, thing in the game.

Oh man. Every time I find something to appreciate or defend about this game I'm proven to have been wrong. This game really is a huge turd innit? :P
