No body explains why Sephiroth is the best. Because he has a big sword? Because he has long grey hair? Why?
Kefka killed lots and lots of people for lots of reasons that probably make sense to a megalomaniac general that drsses up like a clown and turned once immortal beings into rocks so he could wouldn't have to use his own legs (read: Magi-tek mechs). One man who over threw an empire, not because he has some connection to an alien super power that drove him mad... because he was so crazy to begin with that he went looking for external powers that would drive a normal man crazy. Sephiroth didn't ride chocobo's. Kefka doesn't cry out to his mama.
Sephiroth was taken down by just cloud. It took all of the light warriors to take out Sephiroth, and one of them (Terra) was pretty much a god (esper). |
You just described my feelings about the two better than I could. However, to expand, Kefka wasn't born with some super awesome powers. He worked for everything. He was a heartless, evil, and completely insane monster who murdered millions of people and took over the world in the process of becomming a living god. I mean seriously, the scale of his actions, from a pathetic lacky to a god among men, is insane. Also, he has some of the greatest evil quotes ever:
Nothing can beat the music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison! -Kefka
I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence! -Kefka
But what fun is destruction if no 'precious' lives are lost! -Kefka
Why do people cling to life when they know they can't live forever? Think how meaningless each of your lives is! -Kefka
Life...Dreams...Hope...Where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? These things...I'm going to destroy!! -Kefka
Oh and of course, his laugh is timeless. It was completely unforgettable.
