I would say Yu Yevon, obviously, because he made Sin and a Sin maker is a sin. Yunalesca tried to stop the Sin, Seymour is just a greedy guy and that maester of Yevon had no real effect for Tidus' party.

altho' this antagonist is impersonal, but because of him Sin existed. I know he was trying to help, but his weapon itself was a threat to the others that has nothing to do with the war one thousand years ago.

SPOILERS!

I'd say Yu Yevon. Seriously, everything started with him. That being said, it isn't that he's completely evil and all. Ultimately, it's just that it was too much for him to bear.

Kinda started him on the main antagonist route thereafter.
 
Seymour is kind of the villain in a way. The way the game introduces him and all that.

However, I feel like you also have to go with the actual story, or you might get lost easily. So I have to say Yu Yevon.
 
You could make a strong argument for all of them. Except maybe the four Maesters of Yevon, I mean I never saw Maester Jyscal or Maester Kelk Ronso as villians, just those that hid the secret of Maester Mika.

But for the rest of them

Yu Yevon the one that summoned sin and will always continue to summon sin till someone defeats him from inside his barrier.

Seymour, the one that wants to "end Spira's suffering"

Yunalesca the woman that hid the truth about Sin and the final summoning for 1000 years.

Overall I have to say it was Seymour, cause he wanted to destroy everything for his own selfish reasons, and would do anything to see everything destroyed, using the summoners, using peoples faith, using his own people, and refusing to accept death even when it was futile he still tries to go with his plan to become sin and destroy Spira.
 
I'd have to say the Maesters, they knowingly manipulated the people for control, to make the people receptive to the 'teachings' Wakka is a prime example of that. I think the maesters must have known that to truly destroy sin, they would have to kill Yevon, I reckon they just willingly withheld that information.

Plus you spend the majority of the game fighting against Sin & the maesters.

Anyway, I'm going with Yu Yevon and a closely following Seymour because he was a cunt.

Why?

Yunalesca was a boss battle, she didn't get enough air time to be considered a whole lot more than a big monster.

The Masters were just trying to keep the calm coming
because they didn't think truly defeating Sin was possible
. They are really a lesser of two evils deal.

Seymour wanted to put his dick into the world and rape it.
He wanted to become Sin by using his relationship with Yuna to become the Final Aeon
. He got in your way more than once and sported the entire nonchalant villain attitude that has become so cliche.

But Yu Yevon
was what kept Sin's cycle going. From the beginning of the game, your goal was to defeat Sin and bring The Calm. The entire time, unbeknownst to you, bringing The Calm by summoning the Final Aeon to defeat Sin would kill Yuna.

When you find out though, Tidus refuses to accept this path and intends to pull the weed out by it's roots, rather than clipping the foliage and stomping it into the ground to leave for another generation.

By doing this, Tidus sacrifices his life by ending the Dreams of the Fayth. Yu Yevon just takes too much away from the world of Spira and has too much focus on him to not be the main antagonist, despite that there is not a whole lot to know about it.
