History

Restless is a shrine dedicated to Seymour Guado from Final Fantasy X. I started this shrine around 2005 or 2009, but I do not remember the exact year. My writing was different at that time, and honestly, my English was not very good yet. I had to replay the game a lot of times to understand his backstory and personality better.

I really wanted to revive this shrine because of the Final Fantasy X Kabuki and because Seymour finally became playable in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.

First, I want to thank Square Enix for creating Final Fantasy X. Even now, this game still has such a special place in my heart.

In 2004, I replayed Final Fantasy X on my PlayStation 2, and there was always one part of the story that stood out to me: the story of the antagonist, Seymour Guado. He is a very misunderstood character. His personality is complex, and even if I do not agree with his point of view, I can understand where his darkness came from.

I literally cried at the scene in the Zanarkand Dome. It was so sad. That was one of the main reasons why I felt empathy for him, and he will always be my favorite Final Fantasy X character.

And if that was not enough, the Final Fantasy X Kabuki gave Seymour an exclusive backstory scene. I cried even more. It was one of the saddest scenes I have ever watched.

I also played Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, and I really wanted Seymour in my team. After the first chapter, it basically went like this: I clicked on the Spirit of Salvation banner, Mog wanted him as an ally, Yuna said: "No" and I said: "Yes, I want him!" lol

Restless is the name of this shrine. Yes, Seymour is an unsent, but that is not the main reason. The real reason is that in his mind, he is restless.

He lost his mother at such a young age. After returning to Baaj Temple all alone, I can understand how stressful that must have been. When you are alone with your thoughts, you start to overthink everything. He became traumatized because of the things that happened to him.
