Pretending to be imprisoned for war crimes, convincing Gestahl to fake a surrender, just to ambush espers in their home land is some of the most convoluted way of killing shit in any Final Fantasy game.
Like, when Kuja wanted to just kill shit, all he did was blast it with big purple phalluses.
Yeah and it was also Kefka's idea to purposely lose to the main characters in Narshe so that Terra can awaken her Esper powers
