Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed is a bad guy, but all compared to other villains in the franchise, he has one odd redeeming quality: he was right. Vaas can elicit sympathy due to the abuses of his childhood, while Pagan Min is much more chaotic than anything else. At the end of the day, however likable they are as characters, they are clearly villains. In Far Cry 5’s story completion, as well as New Dawn, Seed may come across more as “misunderstood” or “delusional,” but sympathetic ultimately because he predicted the Collapse.
