my lord, the irony is killing me
you completely disreguard my main points, are consistently inconsistent with your arguments (differentiating losing hope with not thinking you can do anything), and focus on side comments as main components (Machismo has nothing to do with it - it was my potshot at Kefka, my other points detail how he accomplished just as much or less than other FF villains). I just can't take you seriously.
That being said, I think one way in which Kefka accomplished maybe more than any other character is that he became a "god" although that's debatable and other villains, although not stated to be gods, had just as much or more power.
