  • It looks like Square Enix put a lot more effort into Kefka's facial expressions than anyone else's.

  • MC'Kefka's burger joint

    serves Bahamut burgers, Shiva shakes, Chocobo nuggets...

    also, you want some destruction with those fries ?

  • @Araneus21 YES PLEASE!

  • hard to believe this is the same guy who voices kakashi in naruto. guess it goes to show how versatile one can be

  • I am now afraid of clowns...

  • @Minato502 you should see him in FF6... He's a hell of a lot worse.

  • Really? am I the only one who really loves the tone of voice when he says "Be carefule" then fires out some overpowered explosion thing?

  • "Watch this..."

    "It's filling me up!"

    "That was TITILLATING."

    ....Does anyone else find his dialogue during the EX bursts to be a little bit..... suggestive? o.O

  • That Sucks They Only Made It For Psp , Im Made Now Imma Logoff >:|

  • playing FFVI fro Snes and gba, i never really saw kefka as a clown, i just know that he is an army general that is really messed up in the head and speaks in a very offensive way to people but i never did see him as a clown as he is portrayed in dissidia

  • @tybonertyj12 well didnt you ever saW pictures of him?

  • @tybonertyj12 You're absolutely right, Square Enix changed Kefka's character.

    Heck, they did that with ALL characters (Squall was turned into a cocky prick, Cloud became an Emo, Bartz turned into VAAN ffs, Cecil became totally cheesy, Terra turned into the token damsel in distress etc.).

    IMO, that's proof enough that NOBODY who worked on the original FF series (1 - 9 under Sakaguchi) is in Square Enix any longer, hence why everything is different (even the quality of new FF games).

  • @Incog2k6 Obviously you're only familiar with the official american translations. Should you read japanese and buy the games import... Well, I don't know about the others, but Squall IS a cocky prick, and Terra IS a damsel in distress. Hell, she even is in the english translation. And Kefka? Heh... I don't see any change at all.

  • I wish if there is a FFVI remake with brand new graphics and voices, YES! VOICES!!! Natalie and Dave should also be in the remake too!!! (Terra and Kefka's voice actors respectively.) Dissidia maybe is enough to bring Kefka and Terra to life with voices.

    Tell me, who are the most popular FFVI characters and who should voice them, if there is a remake?

  • @prosepokemon Well, Crispin Freemen played a good Setzer for the five or six lines he had, so I'd like to see him show up again. I think Mog should have an overly masculine voice like in that comercial. Steven Blum as Shadow would be outstanding, and Shiloh Strong playing Edgar would be funny.Maybe Brad Swale as Locke. I'm at a loss for Cyan, Sabin, and Celes. And hell, Spike Spencer as Ultros. He's a silly character, and Spike can deliver I think.

  • @vopop30 Wait, do you think Cam Clark could play Cyan? It's also hard to figure out what a good voice for Gau would be. Same thing goes for Emperor Gestahl. Sean Shemel could pull off a good Sabin. FFVI features a large and varied list of great characters, so I feel that they should have equaly great voice actors. These are just my favorites, so I may not know some really great ones that other people might think of. I'm really interested to see what are other peoples' dream casts.

  • david wittenburg owns kefka!

  • Ronald McDonald says this in Japan: RAN RAN RUU!!!

    Kefka Palazzo says this in America: I HATE HATE YOUU!!!

    All characters will pwn Ronald instead of Kekfa.

    Kefka: SON OF SANDWICH!!! Why don't you kill me instead of that heretic clown!

    All: Ahm, we'll gonna kill you next, you're a clown, remember?

  • WAS THAT IT? I WANNA PLAY MORE!

  • SMACK!!! xD

  • Kefka is FF's Joker. Insane, murderous clowns you love to hate but have to admit are probably the best villains of all time!

  • NO ONE CAN BEAT THE KEFKA LAUGH!! >D

  • I think they should have done a better laugh. Everyone can have an evil joker laugh, but there's only one KEFKA LAUGH!!!

  • @AstralAstaroth you mean the "whop whop whop" laugh from the original? What kind of laugh is that for a REAL voice actor to make?

  • kefka is also kakashi from naruto

  • @juvienile66 Really?

  • No way.

  • kelfka reminds me of the joker ._.

  • Oh My...Kefka freaking clown it will hunt my dreams lol.

    The Voice Actor did a very good job on him.

  • Random question just out of curiosity..who does everyone think is more powerfull Kefka or Kuja?..I think Kuja..what about everyone else?! :D

  • Kefka. Greatest. Villain. Ever.

  • Kuja, he destroyed a planet, Kefka just rearranged one.

  • @dragonstormx Kuja wanted to put everyone out of his misery, but Kefka kept the world alive enough to suffer indefinitely, even after his demise.

  • I love you, Dave Wittenberg. You can be trusted to give a truly AWESOME performance in whatever you're in.

  • heh im not surprised kefka sounded like the joker

  • Ronald McDonald + The Joker = Nowhere near as scary as Kefka o_O

  • Imagine Kefka as a teacher!

    Kefka;So remember idiots,life's nothing without destruction!

    Children:Yes Mr.Pallazo!

    LOL

  • @zaqareemalcolm

    and now, for science class,

    THERE IS NO SCIENCE! YOU CAN ALL JUST CREATE A GIANT TOWER AND TRANSFORM INTO A GOD AND GET A CULT

    TO WORSHIP YOU!

  • @zaqareemalcolm .....

    kefka: so,as we all learned,the world is meant to be destroyed,and terra could help us do it.

    children: Yes mr pallazo!

    kefka: goodbye class! *destroys classroom with thundaga*

  • @mangaminxfan *Lightning appears out of nowhere*

    Lightning:THUNNNDAGAAAHHHHH!!!­!

  • Kefka is an awsome villan, i have a lvl 54 now and im still working to make him a good character.

  • They got the perfect person to play Kefka. O_o

  • Kefka is the new Ronald Mcdonald

  • @LoveLossLifeAndDeathScratch that shit ! He's the sex child of The Joker and Ronald Mcdonald !

  • YOU'LL BE WELL DONE!

  • This is the perfect voice for Kefka.

  • Kakashi's english voice actor, eh?

    I'm impressed! For the longest I thought it was the same guy who did The Joker offa Arkham Asylum. The madness, the wanton destruction! Almost brings a tear to my eye.

  • I agree 100% Kefka is a cool character and his voice actor nailed him perfectly. His voice actor is amazing. I know he played a lot of other characters, but I was really shocked when I found out he played Cliff Fittir (Star Ocean:Till the End of Time). Proves how great he really is. ^^

  • I was shocked too a long time ago. Compare all of Dave's roles to Cliff Fittir......I say he's got a widespan of voices. xD

  • oh you people and your arguments. Sephiroth is a decent villain. It's just that Kefka is a PHENOMENAL villain!

  • damn straight!!!

  • In reality kefka is a clown with power who got in way over his head, still creepy though @_@

  • Kefka's character revovles entirely around how evil he is. He commits mass genocide and when he becomes the God of Magic, he eventually wants to destroy the universe... for the lulz

    Sephiroth's isn't Goth. He's an emo with an Oedipus complex.

    And for the last fucking time. JECHT IS NOT A VILLAIN. He wasn't a villain in FFX and he's certainly not a villain in this game.

  • Jecht's not a villain

    Why don't you actually play FFVI and VII before feedin' off of memes.

  • listen if u think that sephiroth is a decent villain then u are an emo, simple as. im ending this conversation now cos i have no time for emos and their uneccasary attention seeking, and this video proves that kefka is gayer than george michael wearing a pink boob tube. ok take care :)

  • I never said Sephiroth was a good villain, all I'm sayin' is that you're merely sheep jumping on the bandwagon.

    And it's pretty obvious you've never seeN what Kefka does in this game and in VI.

    Oh and, watch your homophobia right there. You just might happen to be closeted

  • jumping on the bandwagon? hows that? lol and im not homophobic, i have gay freinds :)

  • And yet you use the word as if it were an insult, so I highly doubt it.

    And you are jumping on the bandwagon. You made baseless assumptions about the character in question based on a minute long video without any prior knowledge of who or what this villain is and what he's done, comparing him to someone who hasn't even committed any villainy in the first place which leads me to believe that you haven't even played X as well.

  • Kefka is insane, he has both an extremely deep voice and a very high voice

    Also, he's arguementative because you're insulting fans of the other games just cause you haven't played them

    Also, Sephiroth may suck, but he aint emo OR goth

  • Me and Kai are a team, firstly

    Secondly, I've played Final Fantasies 1 to 10, 10-2 and 12

    To I know what I'm talking about, and I'm just explaining that Kefka's voice isn't just high or femenine

    And I'm also saying that Sephiroth doesn't fit into either of those social groups

    Plus, I'm 19, I'm certainly not a child

  • aww how sweet, and this video proves that kefka has a femenine voice, he doesn't even talk in FF6. so u can't say im wrong there lol, we are commenting on the video that proves im right about that lol and good for u for playing all the FF games well done :). oh i think u should watch advent children, that movie proves that sephiroth is very gothic ok no need to reply now thanks for the discusion :)

  • In DIssidia he talks in both high pitched AND low pitched

    I've beat it, I've seen all his cutscenes, he doesn't JUST talk femenine, sometimes he's got ba very deep and cruel voice, and occasionally he sounds quite normal (albeit a lil' posh)

    So saying he's ALWAYS like that based on a few lines is a very uniformed judgement

    Seen Advent CHildren, clothes don't make the man, he may have a trenchcoat buh that doesn't make him a Goth

  • Actually, Kefka is straight, he asks Celes for sex at one point

  • ok good for him

  • Are you serious?

  • Serious about what?

  • I was asking about Kefka asking Celes for sex.

  • Pretty much, he asks her to join him and be his queen or something

    Gestahl comments about them being good breeding stock of somesuch

    And Kefka in the JP version is much more direct about it

  • Oh I see. I've never knew that and I've played FF6 before LOL

  • I can't believe its the same guy who did Kakashi's voice from Naruto, and Falgora in Zatch Bell

  • HOLY SHIT, REALLY?! THAT'S AWESOME! Totally wouldn't have guessed.

  • I'm so glad Kefka's voice actor nailed his role.

  • not his laugh

  • Wow the game & the VA both captured Kefka perfectly, awesome O__Ob

  • He has Joker's voice but he's speaking like harlequin

  • I was REALLY afraid of what they were gonna do of Kefka's voice. But the result is simply perfect!! I don't know this Wittenberg guy, but he perfectly understood the character!!

  • Thats why im so surprised... it sounds NOTHING like his other works... its slmost like he has a new voice O_o

  • lolz, yeah he really did. In the japanese version, Kefka has like 10 diff tone of voices depending on the attacks. Dave did them really well. But I guess that the japanese kefka voice is impossible to copy unless u wanna kill ur throat.

  • Dave is an awesome voice actor, among the ranks of Cam Clarke, JYB, and other excellent VAs that escape my sleep-deprived mind atm.

  • He voiced a dark deadpan ninja (Kakashi in Naruto), a whiny scientist (Allen in Xenosaga), a lovable (albeit slightly pervert) teddy bear (Teddie in Persona 4), a Texan-accented henchmen (Larson in Tomb Raider Anniversary) and now a psychotic clown (Kefka). He sure got one hell of a range.

  • BEAR-SONA! Haha, I loved his role as Teddie.

  • wow Dave Whittenberg does an amazing job at Kefka!

    Its hard to belive he does Kakashi Hatake's voice in Naruto cuz they sound completly different O_o

    Hes a pretty good VA...

  • VERy jokerish- totally psycho!

  • Kefka makes me think of a sort of Final Fantasy version of the Joker...maybe just because of his clown like appearance (to avoid Batman fan hate, I just mean his appearance and mannerisms, I do like Batman myself =])

  • Kefka is the FF Joker, actually^^

    This VA makes the resemblance even more true

    "I wanna PLAY more!"

  • I love Kefka's voice, but I love more the cosplayer's voice. Anyway, KEFKA ROXX0R!!!!!

  • PERFECT

  • Holy crap these voices are amazing.

  • At first I always pictured Mark Hamill or Crispin Freeman (Albedo of Xenosaga) for Kefka. but Dave sure did an alright job.

  • Comment removed

  • kefka looked more masculine and older to me here in dissidia. I've always thought he'd sound kind of feminine.. just like the cosplayer guy here at youtube named CJ. god his voice, looks and everything were JUST perfect!

    not saying dave wittenberg's not epic though. it just changed my image of kefka to something "different".

  • wow did he really say that was titillating?

  • that's exactly how i imagined his voice

  • They forgot to put...

    GET AWAY FROM ME!!!

    XD his badass move...

  • To be honest, I didn't like Kefka in Final Fantasy VI.

    His Dissidia portrayal makes me think so much more highly of him, though.

  • I never would've thought that Kakashi's voice could sound SO insane x3 I love it!

  • kefka's voice acter is epic really he sounds so awsome *grabs psp* LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

  • Yeah mark hamil would have been cool but this is good

  • Poor Terra ;-;

  • More than anything, it sounds like Kefka's voice actor himself was having fun!

  • As much as I would've loved Mark Hamill in this role, you gotta give Dave Wittenberg his props. He has some mad vocal ranges, This, Teddie from Persona 4, Kakashi from Naruto. Very well done IMO.

  • I think they wanted Kefka's voice high. Somewhat like Judge Doom's cartoon voice. But Mark's Joker voice was rather low to medium. Not that screechy :P

  • Kefka and The Joker could be related :D.

  • i really really think soo ahaa both so epic

  • amazing, terras montage makes him sound more sadistic.

  • hes also voiced Kakashi which totally threw me off O.o

  • Seriously?

    HE can do insane pretty damn well.

  • alright, i cave. Kefka's voice is pretty good.

  • Really good but I wanted Mark Hamil. :P

  • wow did you hear that laugh at 0:26 XD

  • Kefka is a fucking pimp.

  • Wow... this was better than I was expecting!

  • its pretty good, but I was hoping for mark hamil, but that would be type casting

  • Hey, what's wrong with typecasting Mark Hamil? I could understand if his typecast was something lame like the "stoic hero" or the "token flamboyantly gay guy," but Mark Hamil gets to be the friggin' psychopath. I'd want that character association if I was a voice actor.

  • true, but atleast we get mark hamil as the joker in arkham asylam

  • Actually, Mark isn't as typecast as you'd think.

    He's voiced roles ranging from Joker to Wolverine.

  • ...Wait... What?

  • Yeah, Mark voiced Wolverine in the game X2 - Wolverine's revenge.

    He's also done Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar, the narrator in Call of Duty 2, and Hobgoblin in the 90's Spider-man cartoon, among many, many other roles, so he's actually had quite the range of roles!

  • -.- a lot of people like this voice including me so hush this voice suits him :P

  • You must have bad ears.

  • The director was a dick LOL

  • at the end does he say "that was titillating"?

    Creepy

  • Yay for Kefta the Phyco clown!

  • Ok. To people who don't like Kefka's voice, what kind of voice would have suited him better? I personally think it sounds great. Unless some of you are deaf, he sounds like an insane jester while he can sound sinister. Hasn't anyone heard him say "Don't mess with me!"?

  • he needs to sound a bit more snotty, like a little kid (he acts like a little kid anyway).

  • Why do you care?

  • hey, he asked a question and i answered it, that's all.

  • Exactly. I think it fits him perfectly!

    "Don't mess with me!" is when he uses Havoc Wing... right? I remember hearing him say that in the demo.

  • Lol and he REALLY means "Don't mess with me!"

  • I honestly don't see what's wrong with his voice. I'm a long time Kefka fan; and I friggin' LOVE it! I think it captures his personality great!

    Bah, whatever. An opinion is an opinion...

  • Its not bad, its just the japaese one was purely exeptiona.

  • I think Kefka sounds great. ^_^

  • what the hell is wrong with the chosen VA he's better than u.  you stupid dickwad

  • actually, i agree. they should have spent more time searching for VA'S for Emp. Mateus, Kefka, and one or two others as they just don't sound right.

  • you can't know for sure until you hear my voice, lol

    but i'm just kidding; Kefka's voice will grow on me...no need to get all uppity u know!

  • People are easily butthurt, It dosent matter because im pretty sure i could beat them all in this game regardless of voices.

  • i tooootally agree with you, he sounds so much like a spaz. i was hoping for mark mahill (don't know his surname) to be it. Thia dave person's voice is bad!!!

  • Mark Hamill. and yes, I was hoping for him to be kefka too. oh well...

  • Let the party BEGIN... WE HAVE ICE CREAM CAKE

  • lol

  • Kefka's voice is awesome and signifies that he's not to be messed with. If you meet a psychotic clown who wishes for the destruction of life itself who, and you hear that his voice is similar to that of an experienced and deadly ninja, you KNOW that he's out for your blood, and that you're screwed.

  • Why didn't they use Dancing Mad for his montage? I like it, though. I'm just being nitpicky. :P

  • Dave Wittenberg? Teddie from Persona 4? o_O I thought it sounded familiar!

  • lol, Yeah! It suits him quite well!

  • Kakashi has joined the brawl

  • not the voice actor i hoped for but he sounds fucking amazing!!

  • in those people's defense, it's hard making a movie about a snes game

  • I would've liked to see how Spike Spencer could've done this role, but this is still pretty awesome :D

  • Okay...

    that voice is so perfect for Kefka!

    And Dave Wittenberg did the voice of Yazoo in Advent Children.

    o_O

  • ...

    Amazing. <3

  • His voice is perfect!

  • Oh my God!! His Voice is perfert! O_o

    But he is a little annoying........

    I can't help it, but i LIKE HIM FOR NO REASON!!!!! XD LOL

  • And does anyone agree that Kefka is seriously annoying to fight in the demo?

  • He's annoying to fight pretty much all the time, lol.

    If you thought the demo was a pain... just wait till you fight him on harder difficulties.

  • The Demo for some reason made me want the game a little less, but these montages are bringing my hopes back up.

  • i know the feelin, the demo felt a little too easy and the fact that's it's ad-hoc hurts me more

  • Ok this whole video makes it look like he's raping Terra.

    On Topic: the voice is perfect.

  • I don't think they could have picked a better voice actor. This guy nails it.

  • Already have my main, I played the japanese version and I seem to be attackhed to zidane for his airiel prowess

  • I like his voice. He captures the character well.

  • Not this 'JAPANESE IS SUPERIOR' crap. We really don't need any of that. Seriously. This isn't about imitation or tryin' to be godly. This is just simply about capturin' the character. That's it.

  • I love it when he says "be careful".

    He still scares me though.

  • my main's are gonna be Onion Knight and Cecil. my two best charecters

  • kefka's attack is a little change compare to japan version

  • This..is Kakashi? You mean, the normally quiiet and calm Kakashi? Who rarely raises his voice?

    oshi
