I personally don't think it was Yu Yevon.

If you listen to the Fayth and the old scholar, you learn it was mostly Yunalesca who did everything and Yu Yevon himself devolved into a pure force with no good or evil. Just existing to summon Sin eternally.

So, I'd say the Yevon religion is the main antagonist. That or Seymour.
 
Seymour wanted to bond himself with Yu Yevon. Without Yu Yevon, Seymour wouldn't have wanted to gain power. So maybe the antagonist was a combination of Seymour and Yu Yevon?
 
I think that Maester Mika is the bad guy ... he cheats death, keeps secret the knowledge of Sin's immortality and Seymour's past ( the killing of his father) and quickly turns Tidus&Co. into traitors once they kill Seymour.
 
Well the main bad guy to me is Seymour only because you face him so many times along the game, plus his plan was to fuse with Sin and destroy Spira.


Yu Yevon might be the actual main evil guy but i hardly consider a dark orb to be a bad guy.
 
Considering only the main 'in-your-face' storyline, it's Yu Yevon. Considering the backstory to FFX, and why Yu Yevon did what he did, it's Bevelle's leaders; the Maesters.

I wouldn't say Yunalesca played any part in any "evil" role, seeing as she was the only person capable of keeping Yu Yevon within Sin for eternity; by re-creating the Final Aeon. Without her, Yu Yevon would not be able to regenerate Sin, and without his armour, he has no safe place to summon the Dream World. Should Bevelle have not started a war, there would be no Dream World to be created, there would be no Sin, and there would be no sacrifice.


All-in-all, the Maesters couldn't finish what they started. The religion itself can't be to blame, as it was just a cock-sucking way for them to potentially quell Yu Yevon's instrument of destruction.
 
personally i thought that seymour was the main boss coz he wanted the power of yu yevon and he wsa willing to do any thing to get it including becomeing the next sin, and he so looks the part of the ultimate villain with the blue hair and the awesum tatoos on his chest.
 
I agree with Saix. Even though Yu Yevon was the one causing the destruction, but the maesters were the ones responsible of mantaining it.
 
Considering the game, it's Seymour.

He's the one who wanted to destroy Spira and he's the one that always pops up to get pwned each new city you visit.

Nonono. There were no villains in Final Fantasy X - merely a conflict of interests. The only person you could even consider to be a villain would be Maester Wen Kinoc. Why? He was the only character who acted on his personal gain, incidentally leading to his own demise.

Sure, a lot of the justifications were questionable and bent, to say the least, but they weren't evil.
 
In terms of brute force, Sin is the antagonist. In terms of mentality, it's Yunalesca. Conceptually - it's hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is the root of the evils in the game. Sin is a destroyer reborn from the savior; an unknowing hypocrite. The Maesters, excepting the Ronso, are all very politician-ish.
 
there was no Villain

Seymour actually thought he'd "heal" spira by killing everybody, and letting everybody live in undeath, that's not good.. but not bad either, his goal was pure, that is what makes him not a villain, though not a "good guy either"

Sin was more or less a puppet, he was there to protect Yu Yevon, a nasty side effect was that Sin was created to destroy.. Sin had no controle over his actions

Yu Yevon just wanted his home city back, so he created Sin to be able to summon Zanarkand(Tidus' Zanarkand) his desperation to get his home city back was so great, he pretty much overreacted and i think that's why Sin got berserk(and attacked anything in its way), also the reason he started to make more and more Fayth dream, about Zanarkand, and also the reason he wanted to stop Yuna from putting the Fayth to rest


the 3 so called main villains, aren't that much of villains if you think about it
 
Honestly?

I don't see Sin as the MAIN bad guy. Why? Someone had to be inside sin to control him anyway.

Yu Yeavon was a pansy! Too easy.

If anyone, it's Seymour.

His facade of "healing" Spira was an alternative action he could take from his main intent; gaining power. Gaining absolute power for oneself is a selfish act, thus making him comparable to how you portray Kinoc.

Kinoc, however, "schemed petty schemes" against hidden enemies. Nothing was stated that he manipulated his way into becoming a Maester, nothing was said how he killed to save his own skin, nothing was said how he craved increasing power. Personal gain? He didn't trust Seymour to do what he said he would, so he accompanied him to be assured. Mistrust lead to his demise; not impulse on personal gain. Kinoc was one of few without a hidden -or evident- selfish motive. He feared losing his position, but that doesn't make him rival to the likes of Seymour or Mika.
 
i'd say the real baddy was seymour. he wanted to use sin to kill everyone on spira to "save" them. i'd say that sounds pretty evil. you could say Yu Yevon was the main villian but that would be like saying that Necron was the main boss in FFIX, and i dont think that works because they both appeared at the end of the game. seymour caused the group the most trouble throughout the game, i'd say he was the main villian.

I agree with you here. I always seen Seymour as the villian, but after you encounter Mika and discover this, he is more of a villian.
 
I didn’t really see it as any true single villain, more like a set of villains (Seymour Guado, Master Mica & Yu Yevon) all with the same goal of absolute power as well as immortality.
 
Seymour was a lunatic that got his ass handed to him so much it hurts me. Seix said it, it was the Maesters. Seymour reminds me of Seifer, you fought him so many times and yet he wasn't the main villain.
Though you get the impression it's Seymour cause, Yu Yevon is mentioned as an enemy late in the game.
