Bwahahaha, If you need an explanation, then this thread isn’t for you. Neener neener 😛 So, I prefer Kekfa. He successfully conquered the world! He was an insane genius and a damn stylish one too. And that laugh… it still sends shivers down my spine. Sephiroth was just a momma’s boy, a quasi-intellectual androgynous freak-a-zoid. His only positive attribute was his kickass sword. What do y’all think. Oh, and sorry if this was done before. I did a search but couldn’t find anything exactly like this. Down, Down-Right, Right+X, Auto ---

Kefka. Because I’ve never played whatever one Sephiroth is in. ---

Kefka. He’s not just crazy, he’s _evil_. I’ve been playing FFVI Advance all week, actually. ---

I love Sephiroth but it’s gotta be Kefka all the way. ---

Creeseincrust man! I’ve played both and have even seen the straight to DVD movie. Kefka by a long yard. Heaven help me the day I run into Sephiroth’s sword in a dark alley, but I still can’t get the Kefka’s laugh out of my head. (Is there even an onomatopoeia for that laugh?) ---

Kefka, he was an evil mastermind, Sephiroth was just a victim. ---

There’s insane and there’s INSANE. Sephiroth was insane. Like Two-Face. Kefka was INSANE. Like the Joker. ---

Kefka. For reasons already given. He was such a rat bastard that needed to be taken down. ---

I’ll be the first to chime in for Sephiroth. Kefka just annoyed me. ~Tasha ---

Sephiroth, because I never played the one with Kefka. Besides, that was the first Final Fantasy game I played, and has sentimentality going for it. ---

[QUOTE=Leaper] There’s insane and there’s INSANE. Sephiroth was insane. Like Two-Face. Kefka was INSANE. Like the Joker. [/QUOTE] Wow, that’s the perfect analogy. A buddy of mine bought a replica of Sephiroth’s sword. It’s about six and a half feet long. I have to give mad props to anyone who can weild that in combat. ---

Sephiroth looks cool, but that’s really all he’s got going for him. Kefka’s definitely one of the classic villains of our time. No contest. ---

Yeah, I guess I shoulda voted, too. Sephiroth for me. Although I enjoyed Seymour’s death a little more, the repercussions of the battle weren’t as cool. ---

Kefka all the way. He was one crazy son of a bitch. Sephiroth overdid the woe-is-me tortured-soul routine. Kefka just killed people without hesitation or remorse, and had himself a good laugh afterward. Scary. ---

I thought of something after I posted the first time. Sephiroth was a difficult end boss. Kefka was a pussy. I used to level Edgar up to level 99 and give him a Genji Glove/Offering relic combo and two Atma Weapons. One round later, Kefka was dead. Even if Cloud and his entire contingent of followers was level 99, Sephiroth was still reasonably hard. ---

He dies from what, one Knights of the Round? Even if you don’t go that route if you’ve killed either Emerald or Ruby Weapon he’s pretty simple. ---
