* {{Leitmotif}} and MusicalSpoiler: A sinister one present in fully six tracks in the game soundtrack, tying in with MusicalSpoiler because these tracks play well before the game outs him as evil...plotwise, at least. If SquareEnix didn't want us to think the man was evil, they shouldn't have played Arpeggios Of Malice in E(vil) Major every time he showed up.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Subverted. He comes off as a rather suspicious figure with implications of the victorious [[TheStarscream Starscream]] kind when first introduced, and there's plenty of reason to think he's evil, [[spoiler: given that he fights the party in order to protect yet another one of [[CorruptChurch Bevelle's]] dark secrets, not to mention one of the his sphere also reveals that after the Crimson Squad fiasco he sought help from [[CompleteMonster ''Seymour'']] of all people. However, later on it becomes clear that Shuyin-possessed ''Nooj'' is the actual villain, and Baralai doesn't get around to his FaceHeelTurn until after Shuyin swipes his body]]. The ending makes it pretty clear that [[spoiler: he's one of the good guys, working for the betterment of Spira]].

Although he isn't mentioned until very late, Yu Yevon is essential to the storyline in that he's effectively the motivating force behind the whole plot. That being said, I don't think he entirely qualifies, even though he could have been given a bit more foreshadowing.

The son of Lord Jyscal Guado and a human, which resulted in him initially being exiled from Guadosalam, but Seymour returned as a summoner, gaining favor with the Guado and the Yevonite church. Seymour is one of the four maesters of Yevon, along with maesters Mika, Kelk Ronso and Kinoc, being promoted fairly early on in the game. He seeks Yuna's hand in marriage to bring peace to Spira, [[spoiler:but in reality, plans on becoming one with Sin in order to kill as many people as he can to bring them peace, in his mind]].

* LoveToHate: Whether it's because you think he's a good villain in-universe, or because you think he's a {{Wangst}}y git with bad hair, it sure is fun to hate this guy. And with good reason.



* [[spoiler:MoralEventHorizon:To be fair, Seymour crossed it when he decided destroying the world would save it, but when he massacred the Ronso ForTheEvulz his CompleteMonster status was cemented.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: You'll notice we're not spoiler tagging most of the stuff that has to do with him being a bad guy. That's because summoning a demon from the underworld ten minutes after you've been introduced as a character tends to mark you out as one.



* OmnicidalManiac: Goes hand in hand with ObviouslyEvil.

* [=~Name's The Same~=]: With [[KingdomHearts another Square character]]. It's also the reason she didn't appeared on appear in the first part 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 that game.
a slightly altered Rikku outfit than it does like Yuffie's original FF7 getup.
** Also why she isn't called by her name in Kingdom Hearts II.
** This is actually an interesting leftover from
the second onegame'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.
