I. Am. An. Idiot.
Okay, we all know Anima - the grand summon of FFX - Seymour's mother.
We also know that I adore Seymour. And Anima (oh, the power of that aeon...)... HOW ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH COULD I MISS SUCH AN IMPORTANT DETAIL???!!!
Thank you, Auron-Chickie for bringing this to my attention.
Anima. The aeon. Think of her appearance - the portrait of Seymour's mother that hangs. Does it remind you of anything? Anyone? It reminds me of something. The Virgin Mary. What about the blood tears? Statue Stigmata, anyone????
Seymour: trying to save the world by destroying it - he has a MAJOR messiah complex...
Connection? HOLY HELL.
Boy do I feel like an ass for completely overlooking that.
EDIT: just so people know, I am in *no* way comparing the crazy-ass Seymour to the son of God. I'm just throwing this in because it has significant religious symbolism.
