If TheAbominatrix were here, she would say that was a cop out answer. And she'd be right.Originally Posted by Chris
To make it clear, FF7 was the first FF I played, so I don't have a "First FF bias." I'm not sure hot that is relevant to the topic at hand, but I'm just using it as a disclaimer. So, going by your logic, seeing as how I like FF8 better than 7, I surely like Ultimecia better than I like Sephiroth? Not the case.
To be fair, I understand there's more to the Kefka vs. Sephiroth argument than the that. But to say that one can't possibly like FF6 better as a game and favor Sephy (and vice versa), is rubbish.
Do I think everyone is innocent of your accusation? No way. But it's still a generalisation. Personally, though I won't lie that I like FF6 better, I believe that Kefka is a better villain because I believe he's a better villain - it's that simple. I've given reasons in my first post as to why I think this way, and it seems that many people like Sephiroth more for the exact same reasons that I favor Kekfa (ie. Kekfa is evil without a cause, while Sephiroth believes he's being just). I have to admit that I never thought fans liked Seph for his lack of evilness, so I guess I learned something new today.
You also have to take into consideration that each villian is a major contributing factor to the players liking the game in the first place. Many fans like FF7 because they like Sephiroth, and the same can be said about Kefka and FF6. Although, I'd make the argument that there's much more in FF6 to keep the gamer happy in case they don't find the villain favorable.
