Best villan in the series 👏🏻

He's definitely up there

@hoshinomi 2 ай бұрын

Agreed. He has no obvious agenda or motives, he’s just genuinely nuts, and that’s scary 🤣

And one of the only ones to succeed in part of his plan. It's definitely my favorite villain ever.

If actually done correctly Final Fantasy 6 would make an epic movie. 2 part movie. But it would have to be done with a massive budget and keep true. Imagine the beginning watching the Magitek armors moving towards Narshe. A huge bustling mining town in this Steampunk world. People moving about. Wagons coming and going. Mine carts constantly moving about. An awesome set that sets up this world. Then the movie begins.

@EnjoySackLunch why is it funny? Because they would ruin it?

I think while it definitely could be done, the faith I have in a good adaptation being made is fairly low

@@Chrisrpg1980 I don’t mean to be derisive. But some things are best left to one’s imagination. That’s the magic of nes/snes era games. They gave you just enough ingredient for your brain to fill in the blanks. As we’ve seen, sometimes it’s better tp leave it at that rather than give corporate interests the opportunity to mangle it completely.

That's super cool. He has a lot of potential and if Square ever decides to expand on the FF6 universe and give us more about him then he could easily shoot up into my favourites of all time.

On of the things that's always bugged me about Kefka is admittedly a game limitation. Kefka gets his power, he reshaped the world, created his tower to sit on top of, seems to blast people at random (like 3 times before end of game) with his light of judgment when they displease him, you start WoR as Celes who's been unconscious for a year, the world has moved on trying to survive, and everyone else is scattered and over time started doing their own things. Time has passed. So what the heck has he been doing this whole time? Just existing there doing squat? How is he not bored? What does he do to entertain himself because he's clearly not giving the world any attention except to pop in every so often to blast his kefka beam. Does he talk philosophy with his lower extremities? WHY HASN'T HE *ACTUALLY* STRAIGHT UP JUST ENDED EVERYONE? Essentially that wouldn't make for a good game, but it makes me wonder.

@VGVillains 2 ай бұрын

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a game limitation. A product of its time maybe, but Kefka overall in my opinion is fairly underdeveloped. I feel like if this game came out when FFX did or later, his character would have been a lot more fleshed out and stuff like what happened during that year would have been elaborated on.

@VGVillains 2 ай бұрын

Here we have Kefka. The villain who destroyed the world. The psychopath who had his mind shattered in some experiments. A fan favourite villain often rated up there with the icons like Sephiroth, so let’s take a look at what he’s done, and why he’s so beloved. Have any ideas for villains for me to make future videos on? Let me know and I’ll be sure to give them some consideration!

You should do video on Xenoblade 3 Z and Moebius.

@@zenone9698 Xenoblade 3 is something I want to do, been debating on N vs Z as I think they're both really interesting villains, could possibly do a long video on all Moebius and just give the rest of them like 2 minutes each then have a larger section on N/M and Z

So, this is a theory of mine but I actually have always believed that the experiments didn't cause him to go insane in the way we see insanity. What I mean is; Yes the experiments did have a negative effect on his mind but unlike the traditional idea of insane where the person clearly has lost all sense of control, Kefka actually does seem to be fully aware of his surroundings and his actions. And even though he acts crazy, it's very clear he's smart. He was able to use Terra to get to the gate, he successfully thwarded Gestahl, the entire crown-control seems to be all his work, he plays along with Gestahl's trickery, and of course the world of ruin is 100% all his doing, not even Gestahl wanted that. I honestly believe his clown act was just his way of having fun. Also, side note, I actually think the sand boots scene is very fitting for his character. He considers everyone but himself to be beneath him, especially stupid people, so to show this he makes them scrub his boots despite the fact that they are in a desert. It's a brilliant way to show how little he cares for even his own allies.

@VGVillains 2 ай бұрын

Fully agree on the desert scene, it gives Kefka a very strong introduction to the player. I never saw him as someone who lost all sense of control, more of someone who had lost all inhibitions (maybe could have made that more clear in the video). So I fully agree with you on this one(had to ctrl+f my script to see if I actually wrote insane down anywhere, I didn't).

Kefka has always been one of my favorite villains in fiction, even though we really never learn much about him. But, I guess that mystery is part of his allure, and while he may not have that development that I sometimes find myself wanting, he is nonetheless a well-written character. In terms of other villains that I hold in high regard are Emet-Selch from Final Fantasy XIV (possibly my favorite villain in the FF series) and Beatrice from Umineko (speaking of the Divine Comedy...). They are all very compelling and fun to watch in their own ways, and while not as developed, Kefka definitely belongs on the list, as he is the first Final Fantasy villain that you can tell got some REAL effort put into him.

@VGVillains 2 ай бұрын

Kefka's definitely a part of the conversation. Everything about him we do get is very well done, just personally I'd enjoy him more if his character was more fleshed out

@Kuristofa138 2 ай бұрын

I've always like the theory that Kefka is Baram, Shadows partner. Shadow stayed close to Kefka, even joining the empire. He also showed up to the floating continent entrapping Kefka within the statues. And at the end after Kefka is defeated, Shadow decided to stop running and joins Baram. To me it makes sense why Kefka is so cynical. He wanted Shadow to kill him because he was injured and that the empire wouldn't go easy on him. He was possibly the first to have the magitek infusion. He wants his revenge.

@VGVillains 2 ай бұрын

Interesting, I've never heard that theory actually. Certainly has a level of plausibility to it

@geminidrake 2 ай бұрын

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a bastard heir to Gestahl. Perhaps that’s why he looks so highly on him despite his insanity. But I’ll admit that’s a stretch.
