I don't think that wil work. It seems extremely out of character for Kefka to have slept with any of those followers. He was focused solely on absolute power in FFVI, and mortal needs and desires were beneath him. Also, I got the feeling from FFVI that Kefka was blind to the fanatics at the Fanatic's Tower and that they were worshipping Kefka out of ignorance of the situation, similar to how some religions worshipp(ed) gods to ask for a good harvest or for the sea to be calm.
Although to make the story work, rather than have the 'Sons of Kefka' be offspring of Kefka, you could have them be offspring from followers of the cult. They could be the next generation and trying to continue on their parents' ideals.
Siegfried and Gogo remain a mystery even after the end of FF VI. Maybe you might want to tie up some loose ends or if you see them as totally unimportant, then never mind then.
I dun think the storyline will be ruined if you link someone that is not related to the actual cast itself to the story.
They will add more colours to the story especially if you reveal Gogo as Daryl and Setzer realize it and_______ etc.
Well...if I were to use those characters, in that exact context...there wouldn't be much of a twist to it, would there? Plus, I'm not really planning on using Setzer, Gogo, or Siegfried at all at this point...but maybe in the future!

Actually, it rather does work. Historically, one in power gets laid by many women. That IS a form of power after all. I kinda picture Kefka as having slept with dozens of women until he got bored of the entire concept. And I don't think he was blind to the fanatics. They were worshiping him as a god. He would have liked that. Anyways, the fact that they ARE Kefka's children plays an important role in the story. I suppose it's kinda like the Sephiroth 'kids' in Advent Children. Though I came up with this idea LOOOONG before I'd watched that.
NO! Just...just NO!
Mwa ha ha! Well, actually, in the story, Terra chose Edgar over Sabin, driving a wedge between the brothers. Another important element of the story.
The whole thing about the new empire and the emperror being influenced by someone else (member of the sons of Kefka?) seems a bit too much lika a repetation of what happened in FFVI. Maybe try something completely orginal? Meh, I don't know.
Actually, it's more like Lord of the Rings type manipulation. If I recall correctly, in FFVI, the emperor wasn't being manipulated. Just betrayed. And I do have a twist to all of it...The whole thing about the new empire and the emperror being influenced by someone else (member of the sons of Kefka?) seems a bit too much lika a repetation of what happened in FFVI.

Twist? But these two are the what will make the plot twist. Imagine you reveal Siegfried as General Leo or Gogo as Gestahl or anything creative. These two are pretty left open for one to unfold and twist the plot.
But it looks to me Kefka live all alone on his tower with the three statues and just frying towns once in a while. He enjoyed seeing people suffer more than anything else.The fanatics never went to his tower nor he ever left the tower.Actually, it rather does work.

And remember, Kefka is a madman. He is no regular normal minded villian.

yes, kefka was a madman, he was an experiment of the empire, that's why he was so mad, he didn't care about anything but power, and seeing how people suffer
I hope that whenever I have kids, my first son isn't named after my wife's ex-boyfriend that she loved infinitely more than me.

Ok...since I'm planning on including this information in the first part somehow, I'll write a quick summary here. Tell me what you think.
-After Kefka, Edgar and Sabin announce their involvement in his demise. The other characters decide they want to live out of the spotlight and don't take credit.
-The former Empire lands end up practically worshiping the Figaro brothers for taking down Kefka, and vote to join the nation of Figaro.
-Being too large for one government, Edgar and Sabin flip a coin. Edgar retains control over North Figaro (encompassing everything that was Figaro) and Sabin gains control over South Figaro (the former Empire)
-Both Edgar and Sabin begin courting Terra, having fallen for her during their adventures together
-By the third year after Kefka's defeat, Edgar and Terra announce that she's pregnant and that they will be wed. Sabin takes the news hard and drops out of public view.
-Several years later, Sabin re-emerges and South Figaro cedes from North Figaro. Sabin announces the establishment of a new Empire. People accept the idea, wanting a return to their old ways and the money and power that came with it.
-Edgar spends another couple of years in negotiations with the new Empire, trying to find out what exactly drove Sabin towards this path and trying to reconcile.
-New Empire gears up for war, and so does Figaro. It's at this point that the story begins with the invasion of Doma.
Terra is, overall, fairly asexual. It would be out of character for her to be courted in the manner that you speak of by Edgar…
I dun really think Sabin will want to be a king or a ruler based on his character in FF VI.....
Sabin definitely wouldn't want to be, he definitely found Edgar to be a much better ruler. I could see Doma growing though and Cyan being a ruler. And a war breaking out between Edgar and Sabin over Terra, sorry but no.
Terra was trying to find love, and she did, all the kids, I doubt she'd leave them and she'd continue to live in that town...
THE JACKEL
did he mention that cyan will die?
yeah he did
still doesn't change that I could see Cyan being a ruler

I don't know where you get this. In the game, she makes it clear she wants to love and be loved. And with her being human now, she's not afraid to let people in like she was before.

Yes, Edgar is the much better ruler. That's the point, really. Sabin now has control over this country, and doesn't really know what to do with it. This is why he brings in advisors...and one in particular...
As to Cyan as the ruler of Doma...no. He made it rather clear he didn't want to be in charge (unlike Sabin, who was finished running away from his responsibilities). Plus, he'll be dead by the start of the story. So it's not like I want him in a position of power anyways.
