He didn't win. He lost. In fact he lost a lot of times.

Yeah I know. I mean the one time where he accomplishes something. Otherwise, he reminded me of Team Rocket more than Joker, though I guess that was cuz I was more into Pokemon than Batman

Make a "Best Villains" topic and I'm 100% sure he will be mentioned at least 5 times.

Agreed.

There's a certain charm in walking the line between goofy and dark but he didn't do the goofy side particularly well, barring the "I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE YOU" line (which was pure gold). Most of his goofiness either came from being a failure or being the butt of a joke, both of which actually undermine his credibility as a villain, which is the last thing you want in an RPG. I will definitely give credit to the way they seemed to try to leverage that in order to throw the player off and make the flying continent a turning point where you realize you should have taken him more seriously, but they failed to follow through afterward by essentially removing him as a character entirely for the majority of the remaining game.

The whole thing comes across as great ideas but poor execution.

Yeah that's pretty much spot on. I mean I didn't really think that highly of FF7 either, because FF6 was just better, but Sephiroth was at least incredibly menacing. You always pretty much perceived as an absolute murdering unstable nutso.

Kefka was just a literal clown who got a bit lucky with one of his Team Rocket scheme

Thats how i feel when you make the same topics. I argued forever about this the last time. To summarize:

-He became god of magic
-Destroyed most of the world.
-Upon death obliterated all magic.


No, not overrated.

So he runs when FOUR people attack him? After he takes a beating he just ups and leaves and the party failed to kill or chase after him. Not overrated in the least.

A great villain isn't a coward bro. And like a previous user said he's definitely more of a joke than menacing. You can't take him seriously. No one wants to admit they favor Kefka because he reminds them of the Joker.

Kefka is thirty-five years old and Emperor Gestahl's right-hand man. At least sixteen years ago Kefka was the first experimental Magitek Knight, which gifted him magical power, but shattered his sanity as the process had not been perfected yet. Kefka became a cruel, destructive madman, and acquired a reputation as one of the most dangerous men in the Gestahlian Empire. About six years after the procedure, the imperial military was restructured with Kefka and Leo Christophe being involved.


I mean it was pretty obvious Kefka wasn't gonna be able to be contained and yet Gestahl let this dude roam free until it was too late.

Very true however there's undermining point behind it, though. It's not so much Sephiroth is a bitch but more of the potential Cloud had.

The fact that he's ridiculous and over the top is the point. They weren't trying and failing to write a serious, brooding villain and somehow accidentally did the opposite.

The party stops him indefinitely at the end of the game. For such an awesome God he literally dies from a bunch of unmotivated low life scrappers. That says more than enough about Kefka.

The power level thing is kinda irrelevent. It's more about the presentation.of the power level.

Here, I'll make a better villain than Kefka in 3 seconds:

His name is Killar and he can kill anything in one hit, including Kefka.

Villains mostly always lose but the fashion that Kefka did makes him look weak. Like I said, he got his ass kicked early in the game by the party with an army and then he runs away from the party non stop. It makes him look weak. Becoming a God and destroying the world doesn't negate how weak he already make himself look.

What he is however is the ultimate underdog who does indeed become a very real threat because of the fact that he's not taken very seriously until...the obvious.

This basically. Being an underdog as a villain doesn't make you a great villain. It makes you a joke. People like to rate Kefka by his evil achievements but neglects what kind of wimp he originally was.

I'll be honest, I was pretty disappointed when he turned out to be the main villain. I thought he was just the annoying henchmen who would thankfully die halfway through the game.

So when you immediately run away when you first encounter kefka, thats ok?
And because he started out weak and developed power, becoming a magic god and destroying MOST of the world, hes a bad villain?

So essentially all heroes who are presented weak at the beginning of the game are bad heroes?

I know youre trolling because youre argument sucks and youre arguing for the attention im giving you and the repeated topics about kefka reinforce said point.

Oh and he kills a WHOLE KINGDOM shortly after.
