Kefka was just an evil Shi because he he wanted to, therefore he didn't really stand out as a character & just became 'the evil guy you had to kill to complete the game'.
FFVII was the first to show that there isn't really 'an evil villain', George Bush should play this game actually, maybe he'd quote 'Evil-Dooers' a little less. People's views & actions get warped at a certain point in their lives that makes them do the unthinkable at times, there is no black & white, good & bad, evil & good. Life truely is not that simple, put the bible down & open your eyes.
I don't care what happened even if he started as a good guy, I don't feel sorry for someone who wants to destroy the planet... it's really that simple.

Sephiroth wasn't that great in my opinion... I mean honestly, because he had a reason behind his actions he is the best villian. I don't agree with that. I mean, in that case the villian/villians in Tales of Symphonia were awesome because they all had their reasons too. I mean, everyone was doing what they thought was right in that game, and their ended up being THREE opposing groups. SO this whole, oh I feel bad for the guy cause he was tricked, thing isn't working for me.

Kefka, was definitely evil, and the thing was, he even knew he was evil. I mean honestly, how evil must you be to be able to wake up in the morning, being able to destroy any village or thing on the planet with this huge beam, and say, "Nope, not evil enough." HONESTLY PEOPLE!
