It's probably because the sprites could only fit moustaches :makeabanonspriteplease:
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Maybe his team got knocked out of the playoffs so it was time to shave after.
I don't really like it with the beard. It makes him look less like the kick-ass 20-year-old martial arts student. It makes him look the kick-ass 40-year-old karate teacher. Duncan was the kick-ass 70-year-old martial arts master.
Bruce Lee was a kickass martial arts master.
Remember, he was training in the mountains before joining the party. He likely grew the beard then and one of Vargas's bears ate it for some reason.
You just can't trust bears.
Terra mistaking him for one of the bears lends weight to the idea that he had a beard.
Alright, here's the story. Sabin had a beard. Vargas had 2 naked mole rats. Vargas decided that his naked mole rats weren't cool enough, so one day, shile sabin was sleeping, he cut off his beard and glued the hair to his naked mole rats. He then used his martial arts training to train them and make them buff. That's why those aren't just called bears.
There you have it, son.
Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
