Oh my, come back from the grave just in time...

For one, this thread is intended to get oppinions on Kefka, not to enforce oppions on everyone else. I see no problem with someone not liking Kefka, even though I am an advid fan of the great Kefka. As long as the oppinions are supported with reasons for those oppinions, that's good enough for me.

Xenogears and Xenosaga are wonderful games. I am as well a hard core XG/XS fan.

It was mentioned that Kefka justs fits the mold of the other FF villains? There I would have to disagree. Please allow me to explain why.

Kefka was the first true human villian in the FF series. The only other human villian before him was the Emperor of Palmaceia (FF2j). X-Death doesn't count because he turned into some tree thing.

Kefka was the first villain in the FF series that turned on his superior. Kefka so foar has been the only FF vilian to accomplish his goal. And Kefka's reason were clearly laid out....

"I am going to create a monument to nonexistence."
"What fun is it if no prescious lives were lost?"

Kefka was an experiment gone wrong. An experiment of infusing Magitek power into a person. After that something snaped in him and he went mad. He was not some badarse carrying around a long sword wanting to return the world to the ancients. He was not some crazy person looking to live on forever, he was not some self-righteous person seeking to save the world by becoming something worse. No, he just wanted to be god and destroy everything, which he did. He actually won.

He is the only FF villain to accutally cause the heros to become depressed and lose faith...

~Celes attempting sucide~
"I just don't have the will to fight anymore.."
~Strago becoming a worshipper of Kefka."

He definetly is not in the same mold as the other FF villains.

I am currently trying to recover from a near fatal car accident. I may not be online much for awhile as sitting behind a computer is hard to do. But I will check in from time to time...
