Favorite villain, and why from any final fantasy

[B3atingu]

Final Fantasy VI is a good story, and a great game, but despite what happened in the game, Kefka is underdeveloped, bland, and generic. He's a psychotic clown who's only goal is world domination. The only thing that makes him different from any other psychotic bent on world domination is that he dresses like a clown. He's a dumbed down version of The Joker.

The discussion isn't whether Final Fantasy VI is the best Final Fantasy. It's about the best villain, and in terms of character depth, which is what I personally look for when determining a great character, Kefka is lacking. Don't get me wrong, he's a good antagonist, but there are much more interesting antagonists in this franchise.

I agree Kefka is a Gimp as far as villains go.

The most important thing about Kefka though, and I mean this genuinely... is such a spoiler for anyone who still has not played this game. So please, PLEASE do not click this spoiler if you intend to play FFVI and have not done so yet.

Kefka is the best villain because...:

Everything Pete and Telegraph said, but more importantly, HE WINS. KEFKA WINS THE GAME. And then you're treated to an entire sequel immediately where you have to start completely fresh with no characters in your party all over again. Seriously, FFVI is two games in one, but you're forced to lose the first game. It's lovely.

Vayne did a far better job at that, even though he was eventually defeated his victory was not short lived. Not to mention unlike Kefka who I also adore there's more to him than meets the eye, thus far superior villain in my opinion.
