Final Fantasy X/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* [[Annoying Laugh]]: His laughing scene in Luca is practically internet-famous.

* [[BFS]]: While not as big as Auron's, the swords Tidus wields are quite large.

** [[One Handed Zweihander]]

** [[One-Handed Zweihander]]

* [[Bishonen]]: Described by many fans as looking like Meg Ryan.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

Line 31:

* [[Chest Insignia]]: The symbol of the Zanarkand Abes. Possibly doubles as an [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]].

* [[The Chosen Zero]]: As with the previous game's Zidane, his personality seems to be a throwback to older ''Final Fantasy'' heroes like Bartz and Locke.

* [[Dark Skinned Blond]]: Subverted. It's never stated outright, but it's possible he dyed his hair blond. In flashbacks Tidus as a child has brown hair.

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Subverted. It's never stated outright, but it's possible he dyed his hair blond. In flashbacks Tidus as a child has brown hair.

* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Subverted. The story starts with him and stays like this for a while. When Yuna shows up, she becomes the center of attention and pretty much the heroine, with Tidus stepping into [[Supporting Protagonist]] for her. A necessary perspective for the player to be introduced to the mysterious world of Spira alongside him, [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|who knows pretty much nothing of it]]. The story still retains an important plot point ({{spoiler|Sin is Jecht}}) that is directly related to him, and {{spoiler|''much'' later, he jumps into the spotlight by forcing the group to [[Take a Third Option]], giving the story its most important twist and becoming the hero and protagonist once again, it being ''Tidus'' who has to perform the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in the end instead of Yuna.}}

* [[Doomed Hometown]]: His version of Zanarkand is torn up by Sin.

Line 37:

* [[Emotions vs. Stoicism]]: His contrast with Yuna. Emotion eventually wins out.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Boyish good looks? Check. [[Bishonen]]? Check. Athletic build? Check. Real world female fans? Hoo boy, big check.

* {{spoiler|[[Facing the Bullets One Liner]]: "I know it's selfish...BUT THIS IS ''MY'' STORY!"}}

* {{spoiler|[[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: "I know it's selfish...BUT THIS IS ''MY'' STORY!"}}

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: {{spoiler|Getting back to the Zanarkand he knows}}.

* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]

Line 45:

* [[Giving the Sword To A Noob]]: He can barely hold his [[Starter Equipment|starter sword]] without tipping over. "Hope you know how to use it," indeed.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[The Hero]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five Man Band]], he plays the role of [[The Chick]] as Yuna's [[Love Interest]]. {{spoiler|It turns out he's [[The Chosen One]].}}

* [[The Hero]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five-Man Band]], he plays the role of [[The Chick]] as Yuna's [[Love Interest]]. {{spoiler|It turns out he's [[The Chosen One]].}}

* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He's willing to go along with the Fayth's plan to stop the cycle once and for all, even if it means he will cease to exist.}}

* [[Hello Insert Name Here]]: Gave some interesting problems for the ''X-2'' dubbing. ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' was the first game in which he's called by his name.

* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Gave some interesting problems for the ''X-2'' dubbing. ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' was the first game in which he's called by his name.

* [[A Hero to His Hometown]]: Star player of the Zanarkand Abes! ''(waits for applause)''

* [[Heroic Build]]

Line 81:

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Tidus was originally supposed to be revealed as {{spoiler|an unsent}}. However, Nomura saw a movie with a similar premise ({{spoiler|''[[The Sixth Sense]]''}}; [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer|seriously.]]) and decided to swap Tidus' role with Auron.

** In the original draft, Tidus was going to be a plumber(!) who was also a member of a [[Japanese Delinquents|Japanese-style gang]].

* [[Why Can't I Hate You]]: His final moments with Jecht. Every boy needs a father.

* [[Why Can't I Hate You?]]: His final moments with Jecht. Every boy needs a father.

=== Yuna ===

Line 104:

* [[Character Development]]: From doormat to heretic in the original, to outlaw/pirate/rebel-with-a-cause in the sequel. Albeit still with some doormat tendencies, as Shinra points out.

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: In ''X-2''. Three words: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"Hero. Summoner. Doormat."]]

* [[The Chick]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five Man Band]], though she plays the role of [[The Hero]], due to her going on the pilgrimage.

* [[The Chick]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five-Man Band]], though she plays the role of [[The Hero]], due to her going on the pilgrimage.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: {{spoiler|"WHO THE HECK IS LENNE."}}

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu]]: Her [[Shut UP Hannibal]] moment to {{spoiler|Yunalesca}} is [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|pretty damn cool.]]

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Her [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] moment to {{spoiler|Yunalesca}} is [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|pretty damn cool.]]

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Both she and Tidus are stuck in the shadow of their famous fathers.

* [[Extreme Doormat]]: [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in the first game, [[Played for Laughs]] in the sequel.

Line 129:

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: In-universe, her father deliberately named her after Yunalesca.

* [[Ojou]]

* [[Pimped Out Dress]]

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]

* [[Power Trio]]: In ''X-2'', she's the Ego.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: In ''X-2'', her hair is tied in a long braid that falls ''past her knees''.

Line 138:

* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: Attempting to kill the groom at her wedding, for starters.

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Well, it certainly ''isn't'' Seymour that she falls for...

* {{spoiler|[[Star Crossed Lovers]]: With Tidus. [[Earn Your Happy Ending|Play your cards right]], and you can [[Official Couple|reunite them]]--''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|for good]]''--in the sequel.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: With Tidus. [[Earn Your Happy Ending|Play your cards right]], and you can [[Official Couple|reunite them]]--''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|for good]]''--in the sequel.}}

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Tidus unwittingly causes her to crack by talking at length about how beautiful his Zanarkand is, and how the whole party should go visit. (sniff...)

* [[Take a Third Option]]: She ends up taking one when she realizes the Final Summoning won't work against Sin, and her desire to save the world without sacrificing people to do so drives her in X-2.

Line 162:

* [[Big Fun]]: Rikku jokes that he's putting on weight in X-2.

{{quote| "I'm gonna be a father soon! Gotta have a little more ''presence'', you know?"}}

* [[Dark Skinned Redhead]]

* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]

* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Little Brother]]: The reason he warms up to Tidus was because [[You Remind Me of X|the latter resembled Chappu]].

* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: On a stricter sense. Stretches to most machina as well as the Al Bhed that continue to use them.

Line 170:

** Interestingly enough, he's angry with Rikku when it turns out she's Al Bhed after the fight with her brother's machina, but when it turns out Yuna's half-Al Bhed, he asks himself "Yuna's Yuna, right?" This would suggest that after realizing that one of his closest friends is partially a member of a race he hates most, he's rethinking his attitude.

* [[Happily Married]]: With Lulu as of ''X-2''.

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Voice]]: 'ello, [[Futurama|Bender]]! Hello [[One Piece|Zoro]]!

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: 'ello, [[Futurama|Bender]]! Hello [[One Piece|Zoro]]!

** He also voices [[Talking to Himself|Kimahri]].

* [[Hot Dad]]: By the end of ''X-2''.

Line 177:

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: On the various [[Boss Battle|Boss Battles]] onboard the [[Global Airship]].

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: A Blitzball.

* [[The Lancer]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five Man Band]].

* [[The Lancer]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five-Man Band]].

* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: About Yuna's heritage, and later about Rikku's identity as an Al Bhed.

* [[Long Range Fighter]]: His specialty, allowing him to easily hit aerial foes.

Line 201:

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Armor Piercing Slap]]: As a [[Counter Attack]]!

* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: As a [[Counter Attack]]!

** You'd be expecting that she did this to Luzzu upon finding out that {{spoiler|he's the one who convinced Chappu to join the Crusaders' doomed-to-fail operation}}, but it turns out that Lulu had already been told, and hit him when he did..

* [[Badass]]

Line 228:

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Shares this role with Rikku in the first game. In ''X-2'', not so much.

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Her inability at protecting a past summoner. [[Failure Knight|A large deal of guilt and grief for Lulu still stems from this very fact.]] {{spoiler|You can help her finally confront her inner demons at the Cavern of Stolen Fayth.}}

* [[Peek a Bangs]]

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]

* [[Pimped Out Dress]]

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]

* [[Pretty in Mink]]

* [[Parental Substitute]]

Line 237:

* [[Stone Wall]]: Her HP and physical defense aren't particularly good, (her magical defense is much better) but her Evasion is ''godly'', ensuring she doesn't get hit all that often.

* [[Team Mom]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five Man Band]].

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five-Man Band]].

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Tall Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[Tall Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Third Option Love Interest]]: During a Guadosalam sidequest, Tidus has the opportunity to profess his love for Yuna, express an interest in Rikku, or raise a naughty eyebrow at Lulu.

* [[Too Many Belts]]: That skirt of hers? ''All belts''.

Line 259:

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: chastised by fellow Ronso for his small size and broken horn.

* [[Badass]]

* [[The Big Guy]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five Man Band]].

* [[The Big Guy]]: Of ''X'''s [[Five-Man Band]].

* [[Berserk Button]]: Just ''try'' to bring harm to Yuna while he's around.

** In [[Final Fantasy X-2]], he plays a bit on the [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] to the Ronso, trying everything in his power to quell their violence. Yet when Garik uses his violence on Kimahri, he uppercuts him and gives a borderline [[Reason You Suck Speech]].

Line 282:

* [[Third Person Person]]: Like all other Ronso, he almost exclusively refers to himself by his own name, and even rarely uses second- or third-person pronouns.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Blade On a Stick|Spears]].

* [[The Un Smile]]: Tries out a big grin, at Tidus' behest.

* [[The Un-Smile]]: Tries out a big grin, at Tidus' behest.

=== Auron ===

Line 320:

* [[Gargle Blaster]]: Whatever's in his jug. (It's a traditional sake jug, but it may also hold rice wine, in keeping with the Ronin theme.) In his Overdrive he spits it onto his BFS, which causes '''dark fire and black holes'''. Another has Auron creating a whirlwind and then hurling his entire jug in, at which point the tornado turns into a fiery pillar.

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: {{spoiler|Of course he can handle whatever's in there, ''he's already dead''}}

* [[Good Scars Evil Scars]]

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Apparently, he got ''really'' messed up when {{spoiler|Jecht and Braska both died and even more so when finding out that it all was in vain}} Despite a few scenes it's never quite shown, but [[Shell Shocked Senior|the result]] is clear.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Jecht and Braska. It's also implied that he was like this with Kinoc (or at least a [[Big Brother Mentor]] to him) before their falling out.

Line 329:

* [[Miles to Go Before I Sleep]]

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Despite being one of the few guardians (perhaps the ''only'' one) to survive a successful pilgrimage, this is his motivation for becoming [[The Atoner]].

* [[The Obi Wan]]/[[The Obi Wrong]]: An odd example: while Auron ''succeeded'' in helping Braska finish the pilgrammage, {{spoiler|his failure to stop Braska and Jecht's [[Senseless Sacrifice]] only served to continue Spira's [[Vicious Cycle]].}} It's a spin on being a [[Failure Knight]].

* [[The Obi-Wan]]/[[The Obi Wrong]]: An odd example: while Auron ''succeeded'' in helping Braska finish the pilgrammage, {{spoiler|his failure to stop Braska and Jecht's [[Senseless Sacrifice]] only served to continue Spira's [[Vicious Cycle]].}} It's a spin on being a [[Failure Knight]].

* [[Parental Substitute]]: Looks after Tidus as a favor to Jecht.

* [[Perma Stubble]]

* [[Pre Ass Kicking One Liner]]: He gets several, like everybody else. They may also qualify for [[Bond One Liner]].

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: He gets several, like everybody else. They may also qualify for [[Bond One-Liner]].

* [[Rated M for Manly]]

* [[Ronin]]

Line 344:

** [[Stoic Woobie]]

* [[Taking the Bullet]]: One of his abilities lets him take hits for other characters.

* [[Tall Dark and Snarky]]: Tall? Check. Dark? Double-check. Snarky? Definitely.

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Tall? Check. Dark? Double-check. Snarky? Definitely.

* {{spoiler|[[The Undead]]: As an unsent he would fall closely to a revenant.}}

* [[Unfinished Business]]

Line 366:

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]

* [[~~Daddys~~ Girl]]

* [[Daddy's Girl]]

* [[Dangerously Short Skirt]]: Her famously risque [http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/64/Rikku.jpg thong/bikini miniskirt combo] provides the page image.

* [[Dark Skinned Blond]]

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]

* [[Ditzy Genius]]: In the first game, despite having ditz tendencies, she is a skilled chemist, and has more emotional savvy than you'd expect for a girl her age.

* [[Dual Wielding]]: Second game.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Second game.

* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]

* [[Face Your Fears]]: Camped out in the Thunder Plains for a week.

Line 377:

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: when Tidus meets up with her again {{spoiler|after she tries to kidnap Yuna by way of [[Humongous Mecha]]}}, Rikku, completely in [[Male Gaze]], strips out of her ''wet'' [[Form Fitting Wardrobe]].

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: when Tidus meets up with her again {{spoiler|after she tries to kidnap Yuna by way of [[Humongous Mecha]]}}, Rikku, completely in [[Male Gaze]], strips out of her ''wet'' [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]].

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: First game.

** Possibly Justified by her growing up in a Desert, doing Dive Expositions, and general tinkering.

Line 390:

* [[Loveable Rogue]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Her outfits are quite revealing, especially in the sequel. For a ''very'' specific scene, try the FMV reunion in the Moonflow.

* [[~~Names~~ the Same]]: With [[Kingdom Hearts|another Square character]]. It's also the reason she didn't appear in the first Kingdom Hearts game. She was replaced during development by Yuffie. If you look at Yuffie's outfit in Kingdom Hearts, it looks much more like a recolour of a slightly altered Rikku outfit than it does like Yuffie's original FF7 getup. She does make an appearance later on in Kingdom Hearts II, but she's never referred to by name in the cutscenes.

* [[Name's the Same]]: With [[Kingdom Hearts|another Square character]]. It's also the reason she didn't appear in the first Kingdom Hearts game. She was replaced during development by Yuffie.

She does make an appearance later on in Kingdom Hearts II, but she's never referred to by name in the cutscenes.

** This is actually an interesting leftover from the game's translation. In Japanese, she's called 'Ryukku', pronounced 'riyucku', it's quite tricky to pronounce for anybody unused to Japanese, so her name was simplified to something easier to say. Of course, then along came Kingdom Hearts, featuring a major character named 'Riku' and causing problems. In Japanese, 'Ryukku' and 'Riku' are really quite distinct sounding names.

* [[Plucky Girl]]

Line 400:

* [[Stripperific]]

* [[Teen Genius]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Power Fist]] or [[Wolverine Claws]] with a [[Luckily My Shield Will Protect Me|Targe]] in X, [[Dual Wielding]] [[Knife Nut|knives]] in the second.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Power Fist]] or [[Wolverine Claws]] with a [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|Targe]] in X, [[Dual-Wielding]] [[Knife Nut|knives]] in the second.

* [[Wrench Wench]]

Line 425:

* [[The Quiet One]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Subverted. It's pretty much the same deal as Lulu.

* [[White Haired Pretty Girl|Silver Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|Silver Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: If you haven't guessed already, she shares most of Lulu's prominent traits.

* [[Tall Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Too Many Belts]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Hot Chick With a Sword|Swords.]]

Line 450:

* [[Archnemesis Dad]]: Tidus views him as this for a ''long'' time. {{spoiler|It turns out that he's not quite that bad, but there's still some resentment and for very good reasons.}}

* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]]}}: Arguably what he currently is now.

* {{spoiler|[[Anti Villain]]: Type IV, The only real reason he's on the bad side is because he was fused with Sin. When he fused with Sin, he became a Final Aeon in order to destroy Sin so as to save the world. In addition, Jecht was perfectly willing to die at the hands of his son if it meant eliminating Sin for good, although that didn't stop him from having to fight his son under Yu Yevon's influence.}}

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Beard]]

** [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[BFS]]: And it becomes even bigger when Jecht powers up into {{spoiler|the Final Aeon}}.

* [[~~Captains~~ Log]]: Jecht recorded spheres of his journey to show his wife and Tidus, still hopeful he would find a way home someday. When Jecht came to accept he was trapped in Spira, he left behind spheres to help guide Tidus, should the same fate befall him.

* [[Captain's Log]]: Jecht recorded spheres of his journey to show his wife and Tidus, still hopeful he would find a way home someday. When Jecht came to accept he was trapped in Spira, he left behind spheres to help guide Tidus, should the same fate befall him.

* [[Covered in Scars]]

* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}

Line 465:

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Alluded to by Auron. If he ever used the phrase 'it's the right thing to do' to talk you into doing something, it meant he was about to get himself (and his companions) into a lot of trouble.

* [[Hot Dad]]

* {{spoiler|[[I Cannot Self Terminate]]: He can't control his own actions and thus needs your party to kill him, which also means he's unable to throw the fight with your party as well.}}

* {{spoiler|[[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: He can't control his own actions and thus needs your party to kill him, which also means he's unable to throw the fight with your party as well.}}

* [[It Runs in The Family]]: Neither he nor Tidus is very comfortable with the whole hero gig.

* [[Jerkass]]/[[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]/[[Jerkass Woobie]]

Line 472:

* [[Multicolored Hair]]: He dyes the tips of his hair red.

* {{spoiler|[[Music Soothes the Savage Beast]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[One Winged Angel]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}

* [[Rated M for Manly]]

* [[Right Hand of Doom]]: {{spoiler|In his Aeon form}}.

Line 479:

* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Monster]]}}

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Hell, his only attire for his entire tenure in Spira is [[Stripperific|board shorts, a metal armguard, and what looks like half a sari wrapped around his waist]]. And that's even on ''Gagazet.''

* [[Well Done Son Guy]]: Won't be winning any Father of the Year trophies soon.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Won't be winning any Father of the Year trophies soon.

=== Seymour Guado ===

Line 498:

* [[Expy]]: Of Emperor Mateus from ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]''. The developers of ''Duodecim'' apparently noticed this, as they put Mateus as Yuna's rival in her storyline.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: This was the reason why he ended up exiled from the Guados as a child (by his own ''father'', no less), as the Guados were appalled by his Human/Guado hybrid status.

* [[Foil]]/[[Evil Counterpart]]: To Yuna. Both were [[Half Human Hybrid|born to one human parent and one parent of another race]]. Both their mothers died when they were young. Both had fathers who made difficult choices that involved [[Parental Abandonment|staying out of their children's lives for the sake of peace and their children's well-being]]. The key difference is in their upbringing: Yuna was loved throughout her life despite being half Al Bhed, and always had friends and people who cared about her; Seymour, in contrast, was hated for being half-Guado, was outcast, and grew up lonely and isolated. Hence their different philosophies about the meaning of life - Yuna came to believe that life was worth living even despite the pain, while Seymour came to believe that life was ''about'' pain and suffering.

* [[Forceful Kiss]]: With Yuna, considered by many to be [[Squick]] seeing as {{spoiler|''he is dead''}}.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]/[[Freud Was Right]]: {{spoiler|Seymour was incredibly attached to his mother, who sacrificed herself to become a Fayth in order to make him strong. Seymour didn't take it well.}}

** {{spoiler|This becomes even worse in the English dub, where Hedy Buress voices [[Like Parent Like Spouse|both Yuna and Seymour's mother]].}}

** {{spoiler|This becomes even worse in the English dub, where Hedy Buress voices [[Like Parent, Like Spouse|both Yuna and Seymour's mother]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Graceful Loser]]: Surprisingly enough, he takes relatively well his last defeat and sending.}}

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]

* [[Half Human Hybrid]]: [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad|Guado father, human mother]].

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad|Guado father, human mother]].

* [[Hair Antennae]]: HUGE ones!

* [[I Have You Now My Pretty]] [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]] [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]

* [[~~Ill~~ Pretend I Didn't Hear That]]: [[Inverted]]. See [[Establishing Character Moment]] above.

* [[I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That]]: [[Inverted]]. See [[Establishing Character Moment]] above.

* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: By Kimahri, but because {{spoiler|he's an unsent}} he's barely even annoyed.

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: His modus operandi is to end all suffering in Spira... {{spoiler|by turning into the next Sin and [[Kill Em All|killing everybody]].}} It's so stupid that even ''[[Idiot Hero|Tidus]]'' lampshades.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: His modus operandi is to end all suffering in Spira... {{spoiler|by turning into the next Sin and [[Kill'Em All|killing everybody]].}} It's so stupid that even ''[[Idiot Hero|Tidus]]'' lampshades.

** Of course, as it's simply an extrapolation of Yevon's teachings, he's totally right as far as he knows. {{spoiler|It's not like he knew that the Fayth themselves were working towards destroying Sin forever. As far as he knew, they were aiding the spiral of death and part of the problem.}}

Line 520:

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Although he clearly thinks that just ''having'' [[Evil Plan|Evil Plans]] makes him a [[Magnificent Bastard|magnificent]] one.

* [[Mix and Match]]: A [[Summon Magic|summoner]] and a [[Black Mage|black mage]], with some [[White Magic]]... basically, if it's magical, he can do it.

** Also: [[Mix and Match]] of [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] and [[White Haired Pretty Boy]].

** Also: [[Mix and Match]] of [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] and [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]].

* [[My Death Is Just the Beginning]]: Possibly doubling up as a [[Thanatos Gambit]]. Upon the first fight, Seymour is killed by the party in self-defense. He seemed to have planned this, or at least he didn't care if he died. Because the Guados forbade Yuna to send his body to the Farplane, he ends up returning much stronger than ever and decides to fully enact his plans to {{spoiler|fuse with Sin and kill everyone in order to "end all suffering in Spira"}}.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: ''The'' definitive example among ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' antagonists. Whereas being inherently evil and wanting to destroy the world [[For the Evulz|just because it's there]] or as part of a [[Villainous Breakdown]] is a common motivation for them ([[Final Fantasy V|Exdeath]], [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]],[[Final Fantasy IX|Kuja]], etc.), Seymour is the only one who ''monologues'' about how life is meaningless and how the world can only be saved by being destroyed.

Line 526:

* [[Oedipus Complex]]: [[Penny Arcade|Sweet fancy]] ''[[Penny Arcade|Moses]]''

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Goes hand in hand with [[Obviously Evil]].

* [[One Winged Angel]]: Gets three of these throughout the four times you fight him.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Gets three of these throughout the four times you fight him.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Probably the closest thing to a redeemable, good-will, selfless act that Seymour ever committed was giving Baralai a place to stay after the latter and his party were ambushed by a Shuyin possessed Nooj.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: You fight - and defeat - him four times. Yes. ''[[Four Is Death|Four]]''.

Line 535:

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: He quite literally ''massacres'' monsters in the Blitzballs stadium. {{spoiler|Turns out that's nothing on what he plans to do to the world. It's also implied that he was the one who released the monsters he massacred in the first place.}}

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Thanks to his otherwise unflattering robe.

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: [[From a Certain Point of View]]. He legitimately believes that {{spoiler|the only way to free people from the cycle of suffering is via killing them, and seeks to take control of Sin to do. Given that [[The Government]] in Spira is dedicated to ensuring said cycle forever, his plan is simply the ultimate conclusion of Yevon's philosophy.}} In fact, when he says "But even when I'm gone, Spira's suffering will prevail," he seems to say it with some sadness. The only reason he turns out to be wrong is because Yuna and her friends defy Yevon totally and [[Screw Destiny]].

* [[Woobie Destroyer of Worlds]]: See [[Well Intentioned Extremist]].

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: See [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]].

* [[Villain With Good Publicity|Villain With]] ''[[Up to Eleven|Really Damn Good]]'' [[Villain With Good Publicity|Publicity]]: No matter what he does, what he plans, how [[Obviously Evil]] he acts and downright [[Squick|creepy]] he gets, the public will instantly assume that he's the good guy and anybody who opposes him is a villain without even ''asking'' what the full story is. Somewhat justified in that he's basically one of the world's four Popes, but it's still frustrating for everyone who knows he's a bad 'un.

Line 593:

* [[Chainmail Bikini]]

* {{spoiler|[[Combat Tentacles]]}}

* [[~~Daddys~~ Little Villain]]: The fact that she is so devoted to honoring Yu Yevon is one of the main driving forces behind the plot. Whether or not she commits her villainous actions because she thinks daddy would be proud or because he ''specifically told'' her to is a subject of much debate.

* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: The fact that she is so devoted to honoring Yu Yevon is one of the main driving forces behind the plot. Whether or not she commits her villainous actions because she thinks daddy would be proud or because he ''specifically told'' her to is a subject of much debate.

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|She crosses it before she dies, as shown from how she believes that there is no hope for Spira without the Final Aeon}}.
