How does Keftka have more character, he has like 15 lines in the whole game. There's no twist, no angle, no catch. He's just evil and insane.

Sephiroth, was once the main character's childhood hero and reason for him to taking the path he took as a soldier. Sephiroth goes from neutral and loyal to insane and hell bent because of specific events, he has depth and evolves as a character over the story that is told. Kefka was always insane just becomes more powerful, how much more cookie cutter does it get than that. If killing Aeris is what you believe is his claim to fame then I'd invite you to actually play the game. Sephiroth is not only the villain but the reason the main character is the main character and the sole reason the main character's life has taken the path it has. The unveiling of the truth behind Cloud and Sephiroth's past is monumental in showing the true scale of the villain's depth. Sephiroth is also the manifestation of other character's strife including Tifa and most significantly Vincent. Sephiroth isn't just a villain, he is a symbol of Cloud's lost innocence and fallen ambitions, a symbol of Cloud's past and his own challenges to overcome. He is in a sense Cloud's darker self, the hero's true antithesis. Kefka didn't even have any major connection to any of the main characters in six, he was just the villain.

and this is why i find him a better villian and its only because he had a much more darker meaninful connection to the main character, sephiroth went insane after actually being a good guy. I still think the final push is the fact of more details about sephiroth, and the fact he killed aeris, one of the only gaming moments i have ever cried (almost heheh)
