Kefka: Great Villain or Greatest Villain?

[Sephiroth]

Except it is true. It is one story and he couldn't end what he wanted. Kefka wanted to restore the statues so the planet is devastated (succeeded) and he became stronger. Afterwards he also brought more destruction. Sephiroth wanted to summon a Meteor (succeeded) and wound the planet so he could get easier access to more power by the planet trying to heal itself. Both succeeded in one thing. Kefka just had destruction and then another destruction afterwards, whether it was by restoring the statues or not. It was still just destruction and nothing else. he succeeded in doing one of them and afterwards he failed again like all of them. Also his restore the statues plan is a mid-story plan like all villains have and succeed with (free the void, summon Meteor, absorb more souls for Trance, et cetera).

Also you are wrong. Caius is the one who succeeded the most in achieving his goal. And the following post won't change anything about it. Kefka's staue goal is a mid-story goal like all villains have one. And they all succeeded and failed in achieving THE goal, the things they have in mind when the final battle begins. Saying he succeeded in what he actually wanted is a wrong statement as his final goal was were not the statues but something he wanted in the end and all the time in general. Just like the others succeeded and failed as well. By the way, Kefka's action was very spontaneous so it is not like he did totally achieve the statue thing as well because he never stated a master plan with the statues, just that he wanted to restore them and not that he betrays Gestahl or anything which he did in a spontaneous moment after Celes hurt him. Kefka has succeeded and failed as much as the others.
