    Ilsadar, that would make an interesting fanfic. I'm doing one on the War of the Magi myself. FFVI lends itself to that because it's a complex and deep story with too many loose ends!

    Kefka is a fascinating case study. No matter what the player thinks of him, there's no denying that Kefka is one of the most personality-filled villains in RPG history. Before Kefka, RPG villains had been shrouded in mystery; townspeople would whisper hints of the Evil One's existence, but the Evil One himself would only fly in at the eleventh hour via Deus Ex Machina Airlines. Kefka, instead, is onstage from act one, scene two. His mind is not merely warped, but is seriously bent. He has an arsenal of one-liners most Hollywood villains would kill for. He is like a little boy frying ants with a magnifying glass, gleefully amoral; not only uncaring but also unaware his cruelty has any moral implications. It has been said that the audience will hate a good villain ... but love a great one. Kefka achieves the greatest honor a villain can receive: he is well liked.

    That's because he was the first to be infused with Magicite.

    The NPC who gives you all this information can be found in the cafe in Vector.

    I dont think Kefka's evil action doesnt needs to be blamed on his insanity. I always thoguht that Kefka was was very objective oriented person, meaning he will do anything in his way to achieve something. That includes poisoning the waters in Doma, etc. This guy isnt evil, He just has no morals. Thats a bit different.

    I think the reason why he decided to destroy the world was because he couldnt grasp what the purpose of life was, because he has no morals and saw life as pointless and insignificant. His insanity eventually led him to think that he would bring a solution to the question by creating a monument to non exixstence...

    If he's not evil, then what is the FFVI party fighting for?

    Like most other RPG, "To save the world from an evil villian."

    There was really no point in killing Kefka because the planet was already dying from the statues messing it up. It wasn't like Kefka was intent on destroying everything when he moved the statues. Kefka was just speeding up the process with his light of judgement. Personnaly I think the chracters just needed someone to blame so they used Kefka and said it was his fault. At the end of the game they were flying around celebrating in the airship but did you notice they flew on the same green patch of ground over and over. This means even though he is dead everything is still unchanged.

    That all is probably because of a lack of sprites, man. It's green, ain't it? That means something had to have changed.

    I forgot to add there is one green space somewhere on the world map I'm pretty sure its by a town. The planet's still ruined nothing significant happened except the espers are all extinct now.

    that's what I like about FF6's plot
    (SPOILER) Kefka wins. He destroys the world, and wins. You can't do anything about this.

    My take on why they fought Kefka is 'cause he's ruling the world with an iron fist now, and no hope of restoring it can be had while he's around. It's like, okay, people have been conquered, but that doesn't mean they won't mount another resistance at some point. Happened in lots of places throughout the world.

    playaGAW, I think you're just reading too much into that thing, kinda like Banon and Duncan are the same sprites with difference colors. Being a cartridge, there likely wasn't enough space to mix things up, hence the repeating land pattern.

    The World of Ruin became the World of Healing after Kefka's Tower fell.

    I really think nothing really happened they were just happy they killed Kefka. He wasn't evil just crazy and he looked kinda gay. When I first saw a picture of him in the picture on the FF Anthology case I thought he was a girl. Then just like with Kuja the shock that he was a guy.

    I don't care about kefka's history that much, I care about what he is...

    He's the last great villain Square made, He's like Golbez, but he's insane, doing his evil deeds to be powerful enough to rule the world, even if it was in pieces...

    Sephiroth was a good villain either, but not that much
