Cruelest character

Rikku. She just won't shut up.

I say Hojo is more cruel then Kefka. He maybe did more sadistic things but he had the excuse that he became mad because of that magic infusion experiment. Hojo was at full conscious when he was being naughty.

To be fair, I would say Sakeguchi hasn't had any real hands on involvement in an FF since IX and FF:TSW. X was started at the same time as IX and with Sakeguchi working both on IX and the movie, I doubt he had much involvement with X or XI past their inception. He's just an Executive Producer, so I doubt he was very much involved. After the FF movie bombed, I'm pretty sure he got shoved into the "window seat" and about that time he started working towards creating Mistwalker. If memory serves me correct, he founded Mistwalker in 2001, though it didn't become active until 2004.

yep, I'd pretty much agree with all of that, except you misspelled his name

Madness doesn't make a person any less cruel.

Insanity is not really an excuse, he knew fully well what his actions would bring and purposely did them for the pleasure of it. Also, we do not know what Kefka was like prior to the experiments. He could have been just as arrogant and cruel as before, the experiments could have just pushed him to the point where he really believed he was a superior being. Kefka, like several other villains justify his actions cause he believes himself to be a superior being. He felt that way even before becoming a god.

Good point.
But if I remember correctly, Kefka was a very shy and quiet person before those experiments. It wasn't Kefka fault that he became that way. Hojo, on the other hand decided that on his own. That's why I think he is more cruel.

The game never really states what Kefka was like before the experiments, just that he wasn't quite the same after the experiments. Its a shame too cause it would have been interesting to see.
