Imo this is the best remix of dancing mad because it's one of the few to understand that Dancing Mad is a prog rock song first and foremost.

The secret about Kefka is he is not unpredictable lunatic. He is a very manipulative and calculating sadistic nihilist. Cyan, in contrast, is a virtuous and principled individual. But, it is true Kefka was traumatized as the first Magitek expierement gone bad by empire. Still, it is no justification for his countless atrocities in ff6. And that Joker-facade plus his true seriously sinister inner form causes us all 2 underestimate him at first. This is what makes Kefka such a masterful antagonist to the party members.

It is said that the final boss for FF6 is supposed to represent the Divine Comedy, and Dante's(The Hero's) journey thru Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. When Dante (the hero's) reach God(Kefka), it is there that God (Kefka)bestows unto Dante(The Hero's) the secret of life. In this case Kefka tells them "Oblivion" :D

The thing is, FFVII is easy to make a 3D/HD remake because it originally was a 3D game, so all you need to do is enhance the graphics and iron out a few flaws. With FFVI it was originally a 2D game composed of sprites, so its infinitely harder to create a 3D rendition.

Kefka Palazzo Not really all that hard Mr. God of magic. If they could render Terra and yourself in Dissidia then they can certainly turn the entire environment 3d. Wouldn't even need to be epic class graphics. I'd be happy if someone remade the whole game on unity 3d or some such and just put in updated versions of the music with real instruments in the game. I'd buy that game for certain. But then square enix does tend to treat its remakes/sequels like shit. I mean anyone remember how the Chrono Ressurection project got canceled even though 99% of the profit was going to square enix and they hadn't done anything but remake chrono trigger in 3d. Idiotic in the extreme. So I'm not holding out much hope unfortunately.

Kefka Palazzo They did it with Final Fantasy III

While my favorite villain from Final Fantasy will always be Exdeath (partly because FFV was the first FF game I played, and I went in blind, not having any of the story ruined for me), Kefka is easily the best villain from the franchise, accomplishing the most out of any villain I've seen in a game (with the possible exception of Nyarlathotep of Persona 2), or in fiction in general for that matter. Aces, Kefka... aces.

Kefka is truly an amazing villain. Who would have thought that there is so much potential for a great game on a system as old as the Super Nintendo I prefer Sephiroth, and Seymour is my favorite, but Kefka is and always will be one of the best villains in the history of video games.

@LordMalice6d9

Kefka was such an effective villain because he was the antithesis of what the entire narrative of the his respective game was. FF6 had characters trying to find their place and find meaning in life, when Kefka on the opposite side of the spectrum saw life as meaningless and not worth anything.

The lyrics would make that problematic. "He masturbates with feta cheese" would spoil the mood.

Now that's very heavy, with some very nice fusioning.

Heed the first movement, remember the destruction of the world. Now, behold the destruction of life, dreams, hope; it is the fate of all things. Heed the second movement, and stand in awe. Now, behold your former vain attempts at stopping the inevitable. Heed the third movement, this is the power you oppose. Now, behold your savior and god; there is no salvation, prayers fall on deaf ears. Heed the fourth movement, the skies are tearing apart. Now, behold the wild dance of a charming star.

this remix has many elements that boost the intensity and increase the fear and gives you a better glimpse at chaotic madness. I really enjoyed this. Has a metal feel, anime feel, good amount of funk and antiquity.

seriously kefka is the greatest villain ever he doesn't care who he kills as long as he wins

I love that picture :D

The first movement is absolute perfect remix of the first movement in Dancing Mad. Grandiose, rocking, and perfectly sums up Kefka's destructive nature while also fitting a battle against a god who also happens to be underneath that godhood a single-minded man tortured by his own insanity. Well fucking done in other words. The rest is great too, but the first movement is the best part.

Kefka's goal was not the destruction of all life and hope. He simply says that in response to the party's statement that "life will go on as long as there is hope" as a sort of "oh yeah?" comeback. Up until that moment, Kefka was pretty happy just sitting in his tower and tormenting the world at his whim. If he had wanted to destroy everything, he had an entire year to do it before Celes came around. Kefka didn't have any long-term goals. That's what makes him Kefka.

I don't even know what to say. This is just.... *yes*.

Too... Epic...

mog the moogle is the secretly master mind behind EVERYTHING in final fantasy. he made ExDeath along with every other villain. his tiny size and happy attitude is a clever ruse that no one is smart enough to see through.

Sephiroth really didn't do all that much, when you think about it. Most of it was JENOVA doing the most damaged. Kefka himself absorbed the powers of every esper he came across. Oh, and that whole 3 statue thing. FTW! And no, that doesn't mean for the win in my book. In 1994, it meant something else, lol. Anyways, Kefka is the best Final Fantasy boss ever. That's just my opinion.
