Kefka's definitely more entertaining, but I do appreciate how we're given far more of a look into Sephiroth's origins and his descent into madness. They're both science experiments gone wrong, but whereas the experiment directly resulted in Kefka turning into a sadistic power-hungry psychopath, in Sephiroth's case it was him finding out the truth of his origins together with a mistaken idea of what Jenova was that gradually did him in, which I find more interesting. In the end they both become god-like beings, though the difference is Kefka actually destroyed the world, obtained the pinnacle of power, and sought to eventually eradicate all life, whereas Sephiroth didn't quite manage to do the same, as his goal was to obtain ultimate power by absorbing the planet's energy that would gather at the point of Meteor's impact, which would result in the eradication of all life, but that was incidental for him.

He's a Joker ripoff but not totally. Joker is a showman, he's not supposed to be an edgelord. Kefka is an edgelord, he's basically a gay juggalo lashing out because of child abuse trauma.

>>11925742
Sephiroth from his design and characterization as "the ultimate badass" just makes me think of a fedoralord's OC

the Sephiroth you fight in FF7 is basically a zombie reanimated and controlled by Jenova, but the story is about Cloud facing Sephiroth and himself.

the characters are shaped liked that because that's the artstyle for their field models, like how FF games have field and battle sprites/models.

most FF7 models are untextured besides the eyes and mouth on the face so as to not deal with pic related. as you get closer to the camera, first their eyes turn from single colored pixels into textured eyes, then as they get closer their mouth starts to render (rather than have a black circle/pixel on their faces all the time).

Even into the mid-late 2000s, FF7 was still being talked about and played as if it were one of the greatest games ever made.
It actually still is being talked about and played in such a manner...

FF6's big deal was that its story stretched over the lives of so many characters and they would split up to allow you to experience every important moment regardless of where the "protagonist" is.

If you aren't immediately excited about that aspect, you probably won't enjoy FF6. It's not the type of "grind your ideal party to win" JRPG, it's all about using the special moves each character is forced to have as part of their storylines.

Kefka's entire backstory is told to you by a random NPC in one a bar in one town, who says how he was one of the first experiments to make a Magic infused warrior, but the process made him CRAAAAAAZY. That's it. That's the entire backstory the game gives you.

Sephiroth and Kefka literally have the same origin. Being experimented on made them hate the planet

But Seph is an emo try hard and Kefk is more less emo and more just edgy

Kefka underwent the earliest version of the process, hence the flaws that made him insane. Celes and Leo went through a much more refined version of the process. Terra never went through the process at all, she could already use magic, but was subjected to something else.

Leo wasn't infused at all. He's just that much of a chad. Didn't help him against Kefka, though, but at that point he was so powerful he was able to solo an entire Esper army without breaking a sweat, so can't really fault him.

Kefka gets off on inflicting pain and suffering before ultimately killing. We see that throughout the game. Once he becomes a god, he does what he's always done, except now with the power and ability to instantly inflict suffering and death at will upon whoever he feels like, kind of like a sadistic child using a magnifying glass to burn ants. Granted, we only see him do this twice, at Mobliz and at Tzen. It would've been cool if the threat of him attacking was constantly hanging over the party as you played.

He is a good kafuka but not a kafuka among kafukas (there are tooany kafukas) the king of kafukas is kumagawa misogi introduced in the anime after a while of being shown as the kafuka among kafukas.
Kafuka are characteristic, they aren't good or evil but at the same time the best of good and the worst of evil.

Except the bits about Jenova, and Sephiroth by extension, being a Cetra ended up being untrue, and that fed into Sephiroth's god complex. I'd imagine had they not gotten that wrong he'd still have gone on a rampage out of rage, but without the desire to become one with the planet or whatever.
