I've always found Kefka to be a terrible villain. Even for this,
>>770073
>>770074
It makes it more so if that is from an ultima. guide, because none of that could be interpreted from his representation in VI
>He's not based off the Joker
He sure as hell -acts- like The Joker.
>But that's Wosley translation
Having a nearly unspoken backstory while being described as
>so chaotic and unpredictable homocidal maniac in clown makeup
Doesn't help his case, coincedence or not. The joker has been written by countless authors, and honestly, you could shift a thousand joker subplots onto Kefka's character and not be able to try to care.
>Sephiroth ripoff
At least fucking Sephiroth has a decent villain to compare himself to versus
>DA JOKAH
Kefka's motivation of world domination only excuse is
>MADNESS
"Why are you doing this Kefka?"
>IM CRAZY
oh, ok, sorry for asking.
I wish I didn't come off as so assholish to VI fans, there are things I like and love about VI, and not one of those things is "Kefka". I'd label him as one of the worst FF villains right up there with Barthandelus. The difference being, I've never seen anyone give Barthandeulus praise as best FF villain. Happens every fucking day for Kefka.
