I dont understand how so many people put Kefka as the main villian in the series.He is just a somewhat ridiculous green sprite that jumps around laughing "Ha ha ha ha".He gets some powers and hes really evil later on but its always a basic evil ,some childish idea of what evil is.Side quests etc are still on the thin side.

I agree with this.  Most people that argue he was an awesome villain, you'll find, use the "he destroyed the world" bit as their core argument.   Really though, he was just a nutty clown with a tendency to backstab people.

Also, most of the World of Ruin consists of side-quests...



Around the Network

Kefka's appeal is purely nostalgia, his connection to the story is pretty forced and his connection to the main characters is almost non-existant, I don't think you could have made a less involved villain.



Just Trances.
