Heavy hearted jokesters who love fighting and are incredibly loyal to their allies. Although they spend most of their games antagonizing the protagonists to varying degrees, they're not exactly evil by any means, as they've mainly been forced into conflicts out of pure circumstance.

Both of them actually played a major role in the events leading up to their respective games, which is where a couple of contrasting differences lie. In Zaveid's appearances in Tales of Berseria (which just so happens to take place hundreds of years before Zestiria), he took an oath to kill an old friend of his once the latter eventually turned into a mindless dragon. (Which he eventually does in Zestiria.) Jecht plays a similar role in the events leading up to Final Fantasy X, though in this instance he is forced to kill his good friend Braska against his will after becoming the Final Aeon, where he then called on Auron to find a way to put him out of his misery.

They also don't like wearing shirts for some reason.
