Kefka apparently ruined your life. Hes that fucking good.

You spread the word of kefka all the time. Your doing a million times more to raise kefka awareness than me.

Look, just cause he did evil things, enjoyed them, succeeded, became a god, and destroyed all magic upon death doesnt mean hes the absolute best. I mean i like this one other dude better so...theres that.

"I don't think kefka is the best but I'll go through paragraphs to defend how good he is"

action speaks louder than words. you can say anything you want but it looks pretty clear to me that you believe kefka to be greater than he actually is. I'll leave my copy and paste here tho

Kefka is the most overrated villain in the world.

People only think Kefka is a great villain because it reminds them of Joker, and the truth is a lot of people don't even know Kefka's true origin.

Kefka is thirty-five years old and Emperor Gestahl's right-hand man. He joined the Empire and if anything is he was just an above average soldier that rose through the ranks. 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. Gestahlian thought it was a success. About six years after the procedure, the imperial military was restructured with Kefka and Leo being involved.

So you see Kefka was not some dude who had some dream and came up with strong long and in-depth plan to be come the all mighty God of Magic. He's not a rags to riches. He was literally brain damaged and went insane and re-imaged everything to be destruction and the Empire rode his wave. He literally YOLO everything. Stop tryna make it sound like he was something more than he not. Now, he did know about the power of the statues and he did say he'll use it to overthrow Gestahl, I'll give it that much but as far as knowing how far it'll go was beyond him.

"B-b-b-but he became the God of Magic and destroyed the world!"
Yes he did but he just pushed some statutes around. It wasn't even some master plan. He was just there and decided to do it out of desparation! Like I said, he YOLO'd everything.

"B-b-b-but he killed an entire kingdom by poisoning their water supply! THAT'S VILE AND MAKES HIM THE BEST VILLAIN EVAR!!!!!!!"
Yes that is very vile and a very villainous thing to do, but that alone doesn't make him the best. Other villains has done similar things such as destroyed an entire town, do we call them the best villain just for that? Sheesh....

"B-b-but he actually succeeded in taking over the world no villain has ever done that before dude"
Yes he did but again, let's look at the context on how he did it. He didn't start off as some almighty strong person who did what he wanted, he was just lucky in his situation. At least Joker was a criminal genius, manipulative mastermind and a genius in biochemistry. Kefka is nothing close to that.

You know you're doing no favors for Kefka right?

Luca Blight actually has a very good reason for being batshit insane.

He and his family were literally just taking a stroll when they were all ambushed by bandits. Instead of protecting his wife and son, Agares literally saved his own hide and left them to the bandits mercy. As a result, his wife is sexually assaulted by the bandits (giving birth to Jillia) while Luca is forced to watch. All of this while he was still a child.

If I were forced to watch my mother being r***d while my dickbag of a father left us to their mercy, and THEN after making sure HE was safe, send in someone to retrieve us, I'd have serious issues as well growing up.

Anybody with any actual taste prefers characters with better characterization than just "psychopath".

Wow, some really mad people in this topic. I liked both games without needing to argue about which was better. I guess I'm the odd man out.

Totally agree. Sad that they didn't explain that a bit better in the game though. Luca's better than any of the Squenix baddies to me.

An snes rpg villain thats just a sadistic laughing court mage is so popular even today.

God tier. Literally.

To pour battery acid on the wound, Luca's mother dies giving birth to Jillia. Considering how old they are before Agares kicks the bucket (thanks to Luca and Jowy), that's a LONG time for anger to fester.
