Why is FFVI considered the best? (SPOILER WARNING) - Page 8

I'm sure he wasn't out to attack anyone. Everyone can be pretty outspoken when they're strongly disappointed with a game. And opinion is not something to necessarily take offense to. Just live and let live.

LazarCotoron, we do NOT permit personal attacks on this site. It is perfectly acceptable to argue a point, but we do NOT call others stupid because of differing opinions. Knock if off.

Carry on.

I strongly disagree. I thought VI was my second favorite FF (next to IX).I liked the characters but I think Kefka was a bit.... freaky...

Oh I hated FFVI too, thread-starter. Totally Agree with ya. Totally. Honest.

I find it funny how Kefka is called a 'brainless' villain. Ehm... Care to name me more than 2 FF villains who weren't mad in the end? Zemus? Mad. Exdeath? Mad. Kefka? Mad. Sephiroth? Insane and mad. Ultimecia? Mad and insane and evil. Kuja? After hearing he's gonna die he goes mad. Garland? Random. Emperor? Backgroundless and evil for the sake of being evil.

The only not-mad villain of the first 9 games that comes to my mind is Xande. That guy wasn't mad, just a bit very displeased by his gift from Noah and decided to do something about it.

Haha... Brainless villains in FF... Like FF has anything else than brainless, mad and insane villains. Now recently with Vayne, however... And I don't know about FF X. But I heard Seymore or what's-his-name wasn't all that sane either.

And about FF V's story, I will always disagree that it had a weak story. And there's nothing wrong with a villain named Exdeath (his official name now, with FFVA), cause he's one of the few villains to actually obtain something. (Like Kefka, he too got his uberpower and terrorized mankind with it like Kefka. Or should I say, Kefka terrorized mankind like Exdeath did?

) V's stroy was an improvement over IV's in certain aspects. Just like FF III's story V's story doesn't always get (actually, never) the credit it deserves. But okay, let's go back on-topic.

Kefka's character is puerile and dull. He lacks any motive other than that he simply craves destruction for no good reason. This is why people complain. Other Final Fantasy villians (some, not all) at least have some driving motivation behind their madness. Kuja is not a fair comparison to Kefka at all, as Kuja has the actual psychology of a villian. Kefka does not.

Zemus: I want that planet. KILL ALL!!!
Exdeath: I want the void! DEVOUR ALL!!!
Kefka: Life is an unworthy thing! DESTROY ALL!
Sephiroth: I am an experiment! I need to become a god! KILL ALL!
Ultimecia: I have no explanation! ALL EXISTANCE SHALL BE DENIED, FWAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Kuja: Why would live deserve to exist without me? KILL ALL!!!

Garland: I will knock you all down! HAHA!
Emperor: POWER! UNLIMITED, POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!!
---
Xande: Wait a second??? I get mortality? WTF, Noah?! No way I'll agree with this!!! Let's stop time so I won't die!
---
Vayne: He's no badguy, just a guy with different views.
And I don't know about Seymore, but I think he's in the list of kill-all villains as well.

Yeah, really, FF is full of well developped villains with great motives.
Kefka's twisted mind convinced him that life was an unworthy thing, and that drove him to destroy all. That's as good as any other insane badguy. And FF had a lot of those.

Zemus, Exdeath, Garland, Emperor and Ultimecia... all agreed upon. They lacked any character what-so-ever. But regarding the others, you really need to go back and pay attention to some of these plots. They don't just senselessly declare that the world must be destroyed.

Of course, I get the impression that you're just quick to ridicule.
