Ya know, Seymour was a tragic figure but this game goes out of its way to make him un-sympathetic.
And I don't mean it makes him more monstrous. I mean it just makes everyone around him seem monstrous.
Listen to his darling mum.
What is she even talking about?! She became a Final Aeon ie. she is asking him to kill himself.I wanted to give him the strength to live by himself.
And so I becae a fayth.
But...
Because I let him taste power,
He began to thirst for more.
He was not satisfied with my aeon.
He wanted more.
More power.
She is awful.
People on the net aren't much better when they point to him not going on his Pilgrimage to defeat Sin.
Child Seymour is not a monster because he chose not to commit suicide
Edit:
And let's make it even worse. From the prefly flashback in Zanarkand:
Translation: Kill yourself and then people will like you.Young Seymour: No! Mother, no! I don't want you to become a fayth!
Seymour's Mother: There is no other way. Use me and defeat Sin. Only then will
the people accept you.
Young Seymour: I don't care about them! I need you, mother! No one else!
Seymour's Mother: I don't have much time left.
