Who would not stay dead the most?

Who do you think tried to defy death the most in their games, Seymour or Sephiroth?

Seymour, wanted a kind of death (As this topic will obviously be filled with spoilers I won't use the tags ), becoming Sin would be the same as dying. He would also become immortal but he would be the only one alive. And considering Seymour is killed about halfway into the game, he doesn't do a very good job avoiding death.
Sephiroth summons meteor to become a god, not to kill himself.
So I'd have to say that Sephiroth tries the hardest to avoid being killed.

Going to agree with the above post. Seymour just wanted power, even at the cost of his life (which, of course in every Japanese game, the contradictory never ends). At least with Sephiroth, he was trying to become a God, and actually do something...productive other then dying lol

Seymour didn't defy death, once he was killed he welcomed it, even going as far as to try and kill everyone in Spira just to "save it". He never returned from the dead, he simply refused to be sent to the afterlife.

Sephiroth... Well he tried to defy death just about as much as every other FF villain. Except Garland maybe, he perfected the whole "rebirth" thing by creating an eternal cycle that kept resurrecting him.

But I digress, Sephiroth is more attached to life than Seymour.

Seymour isn't exactly death-defying. Being an unsent doesn't really mean he's defying death. It's more like there's something he's just so attached to (doesn't have to be life). Besides, the guy doesn't even last that long.

Sephiroth, on the other hand, did a lot of insane things that didn't seem to say he wanted to die, like trying to "sail through the cosmos with this planet as my vessel" and all that. And no matter how many it seems he's been defeated, he comes back again. I'd say that's death defying.
