Closer to the end, he seems to have grows out of his childish views, and now his goal is to.............. kill his father......( he didn't change after all)
OK, that describes most of the main characters in the FF's I've played. Reluctant leader, or selfish, or preoccupied, etc., or some mixture. I prefer flawed characters, because they are more realistic, and they leave more room for development.

His goal was to kill his father....and thereby free his father from the shame of living a life as a murderous slave of Yu Yevon. Also, it was to permanently end the suffering of Spira (at least as that suffering pertained to Sin).

He knew that in doing so, he would end the Fayths' dreams, and cause himself to disappear, yet he went through with it anyway- not selfish at all.
