Is Anima a Final Aeon?


in _Final Fantasy X_ when Yuna's party is going though the old Blitzball
Stadium in Zanarkand they see a memory of a mother hinting for her child to
choose her to become the Final Aeon. then we see a young Seymour crying saying
he doesn't want her to.

However in the Baaj Temple (where Tidas first awoke in Spira and met Rikku) is
a Fayth which is revealed to be Seymour's mother who choose to become the Aeon
Anima.

So is Anima a Final Aeon? If so why didn't Seymour fight Sin? if not then what
happened in Zanarkand that prevented her becoming the Final Aeon but instead a
regular Aeon?




Anima was indeed the final aeon. As for why Seymour didn't use it, well,
Seymour started the pilgrimage when he was still very young with his mother
and he was not aware of the final aeon and the final summoning back then. When
his mother finally revealed her plan to become the final aeon so for the sake
of Seymour, it left him devastated. He broke off the pilgrimage there and
didn't proceed any further and thus didn't fight sin. This can be verified
from the [wiki](http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Seymour%27s_mother) as
well.
