KEFKA IS THE GREATEST VILLAIN EVER

[The Man]

Yep.

One other thing that deserves to be mentioned is that Kefka isn't an inherently evil being. Sure, he apparently lacks any capacity for moral judgment (or just doesn't care), but he wasn't like that before he got the faulty Magitek infusion Gestahl had him receive. It could be argued that the blame for all the events of FFVI can be placed squarely on the shoulders of Gestahl, since the hunting of the Espers wouldn't have happened without him and Kefka wouldn't have turned into what he turned into if Gestahl hadn't wanted to build a world-conquering empire.

Luca Blight has issues with his father, but he has no excuse such as insanity to explain away his apparent lack of moral judgment (at least that I'm aware of). He's just evil, through and through.

Kefka was good at some point? I don't remember that part.

[Kirobaito]

It's never stated, I don't think. It's just assumed.

[Flying Mullet]

Yes, Kefka started off as a fifth grade math teacher until he got addicted to the hootch, then ended up drunk in some alleyway in Vector where the Emporer found him and started experimenting on him.

It's explicitly stated in the café in Vector that Kefka went insane when he had the Magitek infusion, and it follows from that that he was relatively normal before that. Most people miss this, however, since you have to sneak past a lot of soldiers to find it, and I believe you can only get that particular information during your first trip to Vector.

the part where kefka was good....let's see....

i believe it was at the begiinning. when terra has a flashback and after kefka put the crown on her, it shows Gestahl making a speech to the crowd of soldiers. Celes, Terra, Leo, and Kefka are standing behind him. i believe Kefka was "good" at that part because he didn't yell out some heathen comment, but instead stayed quiet. XD

Thanks for the info, Manner. I'll check that out next time I play the game.

[Marble]

Manner? xD

[Sephex]

He's not my favorite villian, but he is entertaining a lot of times throughout the game. I would go on to put some quotes, but some of you have done that already.

[Clyde Arronway]

Oh he's a wonderous villain. Some of you must have noticed by now that about half the world population are less than thrilled by woosley's translations, but he did a wonderous thing to FFVI in Kefka. He's really just a swearing grump in japan, but he's totally psycho over here

[DocFrance]

I agree. What could be better than "son of a submariner?" That's the mark of insanity if I've ever seen it.

[TasteyPies]

AH! someone deeted my post here too! whats going on!?

Well here is my fav quote from him

[The Man]

What could be better than "son of a submariner?"

"You can round up a million maggots to try to defeat me, but they'll still all be maggots!"

[Clyde Arronway]

Who said that? It's in no VI I've ever seen, Japaneese translation or wooslyisms

[The Man]

That's because it's not in FFVI. It's a quote from Luca Blight, the main antagonist of Suikoden II, and quite possibly the greatest RPG villain ever created.
