But Archibald Grims and Kefka were like... the same character.

Except Grims didn't have a cool laugh. Grims had even less motivation.

He killed someones family, then showed up acting like a dick by randomly hurting and killing people, backstabbing people left and right and trying to win by unethical means...

the only difference is that Grims wasn't as successful.

All because apparently thousands of years ago his family got it's ass kicked by an ancient robot.

The Castle basically was Doma too... FF6 was just a world of city states... like most Final Fantasy games.

Considering all the people in the game it probably had like... near a tenth of the worlds population.


Grims did have a maniacal laugh though!

He also did far more than just kill Cattleya. If you play through SRW:OG2 and take the Earth Cradle route in the final branch, it explains quite a bit about Grims you don't normally learn about. Even outside of that branch, Grims gets featured a lot throughout the game along with Yuuki and Carla. You actually get to see what kind of person he is in and out of battle as well as what motivates him. You don't get that with Kefka. You just get more one-liners and stupid laughter.


Hm. I don't remember that... all i remember is him being a dick, who did a lot of dickish things... (like kefka), who's only real motivation was to cause all the chaos he could and kill people (like kefka).

Though he used the anger at his family losing his lineage as the excuse.


Replay OG2 and choose the Earth Cradle at the final branch choice. The truth about what happened at Elpis was pretty dispicable. I thought it was a simple case of Grims poisoning everyone but his actions were far far more cruel than that and explain a lot of Rai's hatred for Elzam in OG1.


Oh, i get what you mean... I don't see how that gives him depth at all. It just makes Archibald a dick.

Also Kefka tried the EXACT same thing. On the floating Island. Well except with a sword instead of poison gas.

Unfortunitly for him however he didn't offer a good enough reason for Celes to pull the trigger.

Him and Kefka would be best buddies.  Well... for about 5 minutes before they tried to backstab each other.
