I agree about the purpose of the three goddesses. In fact in my fanfic I mention they are creator, balancer and destroyer.

What surprises me is how little Shintoism and Buddism is incorperated into the game since those are the predominant religions in Japan. Perhaps it's just as well that they didn't include manji symbols (which look like mirror image swastikas).

Atma Weapon, you're right on track as far as the Hinduism references are concerned. However, on a technical note, the three main Hindu gods as you have stated are supposed to be in themselves incarnations of one supreme being. So the Three are not subservient to the One, but they combined are equal to the One, I believe. Some stuff like that.

On a side note, the Elves had three rings, Sauron one... you finish connecting the two.

this is getting better every second

My Hinduism knowledge is a little underdeveloped/rusty, thanks for clearing up my mistakes :o But that makes even more sense, Kefka absorbed the powers of the three to become symbolic of the one great deity.

hold on there. Kefka wants to destroy everything.
Didn't Neoexdeath of ffV wanted to do the same thing?

BIG UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD!

Yes Ocaj, X-Death wented to destroy everything, but he failed. Kefka tried the same thing, but he ruined the world. I bet FFVI like three days ago for the PSX. The tower never had names, except for Kefka of course! But in the Beastery, this is what I found, 1st tier: Face, Long Arm, Short Arm. Pointless, 2nd tier: Magic, Tools,Hit, Tiger. 3rd tier: Girl, Sleep. There was no Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Where did those Three names come from? Who found them?

I believe that the way that he dresses (it looks like a greek/roman robe) make him look like those gods of the greek mythology. All this stuff is really cool.

And Kefka was not sad, he is insane, he hates all forms of life, and had a lust for destruction. Like he said, he wanted to make a "monument to non-existence". That was his goal (what shows how mad he was)...

The tower of monsters might have just been created by Kefka. Maybe he just made them up?
