Maybe not. But one way or another, the formation is referred to as the Four Tiers of Kefka.
It seems to me that Kefka is just the evil incarnate, the destroyer not the creator. In the SNES version (which I played) Kefka seems to be a demonic figure, a fallen angel. I thought the Roman style dress was interesting too, kind of brings us back to the point made earlier about Caligula.
well why don't you as Square-Enix of Japan about it.. they will know.
What makes you think they'll give a <crap>?
Edit by Kishi: Watch your language.
they wont if you don't pay them anything.. cause they don't know!
Well I would asume they'd know.. since they made it and all. They just have bigger things to worry about, I'd assume.
well i guess that is ture.. oh well who are we to complaine
:begin rant: I think there is strong Hindu religious symbolism in FF6. I believe that Hinduism has three gods. Vishnu the protecter, Brahma the Creator, and Shiva the destroyer. Poltergeist is the protector, Doom the destroyer, and Goddess the creator. Kefka absorbs the powers of Creation, Destruction, and Protection to become a god greater than those supreme three. Since (i think) Hinduism has no supreme god, they switch to Christianity and depict Kefka as a Seraphim. It's really not fair to assume that only Christian symbolism could be in FF6, especially considering that it was made in an oriental nation and not a western nation. I am an Aethiest with a working knowledge of many religions and no bias for or against any particular one. I just thought it might add credibility to my statements to show that I have an impartial viewpoint.:end rant:
:mog::mog:
I agree about the purpose of the three goddesses. In fact in my fanfic I mention they are creator, balancer and destroyer.
What surprises me is how little Shintoism and Buddism is incorperated into the game since those are the predominant religions in Japan. Perhaps it's just as well that they didn't include manji symbols (which look like mirror image swastikas).
Atma Weapon, you're right on track as far as the Hinduism references are concerned. However, on a technical note, the three main Hindu gods as you have stated are supposed to be in themselves incarnations of one supreme being. So the Three are not subservient to the One, but they combined are equal to the One, I believe. Some stuff like that.
On a side note, the Elves had three rings, Sauron one... you finish connecting the two.
this is getting better every second
My Hinduism knowledge is a little underdeveloped/rusty, thanks for clearing up my mistakes :o But that makes even more sense, Kefka absorbed the powers of the three to become symbolic of the one great deity.

hold on there. Kefka wants to destroy everything.
Didn't Neoexdeath of ffV wanted to do the same thing?
There is always someone stronger, and that one is ME!
BIG UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD!
Yes Ocaj, X-Death wented to destroy everything, but he failed. Kefka tried the same thing, but he ruined the world. I bet FFVI like three days ago for the PSX. The tower never had names, except for Kefka of course! But in the Beastery, this is what I found, 1st tier: Face, Long Arm, Short Arm. Pointless, 2nd tier: Magic, Tools,Hit, Tiger. 3rd tier: Girl, Sleep. There was no Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Where did those Three names come from? Who found them?
