Is there a better villain than Kefka Palazzo?

[Razberry Knight]

i remember the days when Kefka was unnoticed and whenever he was noticed, there was criticism of simply not being a clear villain.A lot of what people like about Kefka exists only in Dissidia. half o what dissidia revealed we did not see in the actual game.

I think that may be true with some people.

For me it is the opposite.

I loved Kefka in FFVI and I felt that he was an excellent and entertaining villain. I was less impressed with how they handled him in Dissidia. In Dissidia they made him out to be not just mad, not just a comically insane villain, but a silly one as well. They made him out to be someone a desperate father might hire to entertain his son on his birthday when Bobo the Clown was out of town.

well so far when people quote Kefka. they use his dissidia quotes. He was a very basic character when it came to having more than just madness. He wasn't deep. sure a bit mysterious, but overall "Basic". not to say he was a bad villain. interesting? of course. but overall i feel people try too hard to paint a shining light on kefka. afterall, kefka still fits the tone of the world of the rest of the cast and the world of ff6.

He's certainly not my favorite villain, not even in the series (I don't find him to be that interesting from a personal standpoint), but he has style and he has one of the more memorable victory sequences in series history, what with ruining half the world and all. He's definitely memorable.

What I know of Kefka only comes from VI. Why I see him as the best of the villains is that he is a villain for villain's sake. He is by far the most intelligent of any character in any of the games. He manipulates everyone including the player to achieve his own ends. He has no redeemable qualities. There is not one moment in the game that you do not want to kill him yet he still ends up on top. He Never pretends to be something that he is not, he is VERY present through most of the game, and he doesn't ask for any sympathy.
