Uh..no. The joker is a villain without a actual purpose, he just wants to see the world burn. This has always been the Jokers persona. Have you not heard of the multiple comics detailing the Joker's back story? They all conflict with each other, the same way he contradicted his stories in the new movie. This is nothing new. Kefka definitely had no real purpose as a villain. Yea, magic poinsoning blah blah. The guy is still criminally insane to the point of no return. I am not saying Sephiroth is original either. His mother issues surely bring back memories of PSYCHO. He also has a certain calm motif about him that reminds me of Manson.

That's the thing though. The Joker does have a point... a very real point.
His conflicting back stories are what show that point.
See the "Emperor Joker" storyline.
Then compare Kefka and what he does with the power of the statues.
Kefka believes life is meaningless because everyone who lives will die, and everything built will be destoryed. He is a nihilist.
He can't see any good in the world and any reason for living, or for anyone living... and it angers him that other people are "stupid" enough to be happy and to live when he knows that everything ends, and at the end of the day, nothing you do matters. He wants to end everything to end everything now. Rather then having to wait for the world to continue on.
The closest comic book comparison is early Thanos. Before Thanos got the back story that he fell in love with Death.
Kefka has a very philosphical reason for him wanting to destroy everything.
