I don't consider FF villains to be great. Among them, I would consider Kefka my favorite but he's by no mean a deep and compelling character.

He's a magic experiment driven insane that wants to end the world and have a laugh doing it. He has funny lines and manages to mostly accomplish his goal though a few twists that were uncommon at the time. The quirky miniboss that became a God and ruined the world. He's memorable.

Meanwhile Sephiroth, because we can't possibly have a Kefka topic that's not about Sephiroth, was (at least in his first appearance) all about looking cool but closer inspection made him look lame. You're actually running after Jenova all game so even his iconic moment with Aeris isn't actually his and he got beaten by a weakling SOLDIER failure in Nibelheim. Sure looks badass though.
Cloud wasnt actually a weakling though. He could have made it into SOLDIER based on his ability alone. Its his mental that kept him from being promoted. Supposedly the people in charge of the SOLDIER program didnt think he would be able to mentally withstand the changes
