well one can say he's the ugliest...

He's not that ugly^^
But I've seen prettier *cough Locke cough*

ya but theres a distinct reason in the game why he's messed up. you here it from some one in the world of balence. c'mon try and find it! The only way to defeat me is to find the trivia MUAhahahah!

He was the first of Emperor Gestahl's Magitek Knights, followed by General Leo and Celes. The process of magic-infusion had been just newly rediscovered, and seeing as he was the first to give it a run there were some complications. He came out much more powerful than either Celes or Leo, but also became quite psychotic and a little cowardly.
Gestahl wasn't one to waste a valuable tool, unreliable though Kefka was. While Celes and Leo were out conquering the world for Vector, Kefka was left mostly to himself. He used his time to experiment on Terra, and only ventured away from the capital of the Empire to track her down when she disappeared. He was unable to regain her and she joined The Returners (the standard rebel goup). Angered at the loss, he became active in the war effort. To make a longer story shorter, his crowning achievement during this time is committing genocide on Doma by poisoning their water supply.

When Gestahl captures the floating continent and becomes the ruler of the world, Kefka murders Leo and razes Thamasa, thus becoming the emperor's right-hand man. Then, right at his moment of triumph on the remnants of the Returners, Gestahl is betrayed by Kefka, who takes control of the Goddess statues and blasts him off the continent. Now in total control, Kefka sets about destroying everything.

A year later, the world is a wasteland. With that business done with, Kefka is bored. All he can do is sit around sulking, shooting off the occasional ray of flaming death, and wait until someone finally takes him down.

The thing about him is, he's utterly insane. Unpredictable, random. He's got no boundaries. Zemus wanted revenge, Sephiroth just wanted to get a clue (it was his methods that were the problem). Chaos was literally a glorified Garland. The Cloud of Darkness was just a cloud, and Exdeath was just a tree. The Parmekian Emperor of Final Fantasy II might have rivalled Kefka in badassery, but we never really got a chance to know him. Kefka is the Hitler of the Final Fantasy series. His goals are so arbitrary! He might be genius (although that's unlikely), but he's so unstable that under no circumstances should a guy like him have control over anything.

I can see that I'm really starting to drive this into the ground, so I'll stop now with a few Kefka quotes:

`You people sound like chapters from a self-help book.'
`Welcome to my barbeque! Run, run, run, or you'll be well done!'
`No! I will hunt them down. I will destroy them all! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!'
`I will wreck everything! I will create a monument to non-existence!'
`There's nothing like the sound of hundreds of voices screaming in unison.


This fully answers your question. Next please.

Well done! Vwee he he he he! Iv'e been defeated!
but seriously.
you sir are a gamer! (Hey all you other maggots could learn something from this migilcoti guy!... I don't know his exact name!)

but seriously man. i love reading inteligent things people have wrote down about games... do it more often please everyone!

They call me Mag, for short..i suppose it is easier to remember.

But you presented a good question i thought! So keep'em comin' and we'll see if anyone else can answer them!

awww i didn't get to next please. well I'm going to need to come up with a good one thats worthy of such a gamer as your self, not just any question is worthy. but I'm sure I can get at least one more good one.

Not only did the hitler of the video game world (Kefka Palotz) atain unheard of power over the world in which he lived. Even in physical height he was a towering man. True or False?
(bonus question 1: spot the error above)

The error, or errors above. Lets see. Well, you mispelled his last name. Kefka (Palazzo). And though we know he's a male. no recorded information was ever given about his age or height. Answers for both were always listed as 'unknown'.

damn its a shame no one else could of gotten it, and although there are multiple sources on the internet which seem reputable giving his height as in the low 5' catagory I guess their all a bunch of liers. and yes its pallazo. I read yer little message to me in the "similarities" forum, he he. I'll answer that in the general discusion. anyways now its time for the final Kefka trivia

i know that what he did was pretty sweet, its just that i thought that he was way to predictable, and i could never get past the graphics for some reason. I called the floating continent scene almost excatly and then after that the plot just died for 10 hours. I just think that how good the game is impacts the strength of the bad guy. ff7 had a wonderful plot and thus sephiroth's like-ability was high. i really hated the plot of ff6 so theres another problem i had with the game.

heres the final trivia (the boss enemy if you will).
At the end of final fantasy VI Kefka and Terra (or whom ever depending on who you bring to his tower) get into what I call the "final argument" before the final battle. Kefka demonstrates a very distinct philosophy. One that is loved and hated by Ethics majors in Universities all over the world.
What is it?
(Essay question)

I'd love to go 3 for 3 with your questions of triva..but, since these are way too easy (for me) to answer, let's see if anyone else gets it first eh?

If not, i'll chime in with the correct answer, but i hate to hog the lime-light here. I'm sure some others know the answer as well!

So c'mon FFVI fans, nows your shot!

Unlike Kefka you have a good sense of ethics Magil. for sure we should wait and see if some one else can get the third one.
and by the way I am looking for an actual name for this philosophy it's not given in the game but Kefkas argument can be linked perfectly with this real life philsophical view.
