Hope someday an official game like "Dragon Fantasy 2" exists where you get to battle both Kefka and Zoma in the same game! Or better yet, pit one another! =D
All this makes me think that is going to be a REAALY HARD Final Boss Fight(I'm on the 4th half of the game), this makes Genesis(P4) a little dance compared.
In all video games I've played Kefka is my favorite villain of all time along with Lezard from vp being close second...They don't make games like these anymore...I'm happy I did not get to see OWA on the spot. I love the game and all, but all the hype around 7 is rather annoying.
@erettew 7's storyline was massively confusing if you didn't pay attention (I didn't at first and could never figure out all that "puppet" talk until a few years ago.) but 7 was probably hyped more so for it being the first final fantasy on a system like playstation and how good it was. there weren't any flaws to it... plus it gave us side stories, Crisis Core being the best
@erettew Yeah, people will often rate Sephiroth higher in a villain ranking because of coolness and big sword factor (Well, I must admit he had an incredible background history behind). But if they just knew about Lezard Valeth from Valkyrie Profile... this guy was so fucking awesome, they should make a new show, How I met the Valkyrie, with Lezard Valeth substituting Barney Stinson lol
@Fireshrine Dancing Mad does loop. It's divided into four separate parts that each loop, in fact, because the final fight is split into four stages, and the song changes every time you move up a stage, but each part is designed so that it smoothly transitions into the next one when you do. That's the main reason it's so long. However, the average party that is strong enough to face Kefka will not need to hear it loop.
Such epic final boss music, just epic for a video game to begin with. Totally captured Kefka's madness and power. The Black Mages cover only did it more justice too!
C'mon, what's wrong with my opinion? I didn't even say it was bad, I said it was boring. If that's what they were going for, a calm, kinda sad and nostalgic song, that's good!
You don't need to be an idiot like that, how about a simple "I disagree" ?
"If that's what they were going for, a calm, kinda sad and nostalgic song, that's good!"
Just making this clear, if you think it's a boring song, I have no problem with that, [even though I disagree] that's your opinion...but if you think it's a calm song, I guess you didn't listen to it all the way though, lol.
Skip ahead to about 3:30 in the Video if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Kefka and his theme are quite nice but not the greatest thing that ever happened in videogame history, as Final Fantasy VI Fanboys want to make us believe. There have been far more better battle themes and villians in RPG's than this. But Kefka and his themes are the most overrated stuff ever here on youtube... -_-
@raalw Think about it, Kefka is the only bad guy in FF history to ever accomplish his goal, to become the god of all magic and destroy the world, which, although very short lived, he did accomplish.
@MaruKazeryu WRONG! Ultimecia completed her goal. At the end of eight, remember, she takes control of Edea and restarts the cycle of her life, thus effectively beginning the game events over again.
@MaruKazeryu WRONG! Ultimecia completed her goal. At the end of eight, remember, she takes control of Edea and restarts the cycle of her life, thus effectively beginning the game events over again.
This Kefka theme is arranged nicely and somehow it has a sense of madness inside. In addition, this song is also played with different arrangement in the game quite many times.. love this song.. and Kefka's laugh.. Huh huh huh!!
@PaulosTheKing It's not 2 just because it's FF. If it was, then One Winged Angel would be no. 1 because of the FF fanboys sucking dry the nuts that are FF7. Listen to the music and really sink it in. It's a song from the SNES era, fairly well orchestrated and it has an amazingly eerie theme to it. I'm not surprised this song is no. 2.
Granted, I don't agree with no. 1, but to each their own. I would have put Chrono Trigger's Magus battle or Tactics' Izlude battle as 1.
I only hope that, years from now, composers like Nobou will be respected as the musical geniuses that they really are, and people will get their head out of their ass, and not judge it because it's from a video game.
I absolutely loved this piece. The organ section before Kefka is just perfect. For me, it captures the feeling of doom and baroque imagery in the pillar. It has strong similarities to Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Then, for the Kefka part, I think it puts across the insanity and power of Kefka. You don't always need an all-out rock/metal song for a last boss.
@Dansonism I think that a rock piece would have altogether ruined this battle. If you actually notice, there are some areas in the organ sections that contain Kefka's previous theme. Like...even though he is an omnipotent god of Magic...he is still as insane and impervious to reality than most would realize at this point, and how Kefka as a person has perverted the sanctity of the 3 gods of magic.
It brings out quite a unique feeling from even the most avid music connoisseur.
@Dansonism is odd that they used a similar final boss in the very next one but he doesn't seem as much looking to be "God" as Sephiroth did... Kefka reminds me of Lucifer lol... he's definitely more of a satanic kind of guy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OK, please tell me I am not alone in this, people: was this really an adequate boss battle theme for Kefka, the god? At no point does this actually sound like a battle theme, let alone a boss battle theme! It is OK for a song of Kefka to be crazy, but is it too much to ask, that it is a crazy BATTLE theme? Dancing Mad sounds like 16 minutes of build-up to a battle theme, that never begins. I was very disappointed with this track, because the rest of VI sounded excellent.
I don't get why self proclaimed Final Fantasy fans find the need to wank certain games and take a dump on others. THEY'RE ALL GOOD GAMES WORTHY OF PRAISE.
I just love coming onto youtube and reading all the weak arguments people pull out of their ass to try and slam FF7 as much as possible. It's alright if you find FF7 to be overrated, but stop riding it's ass already, it's been 13 friggin' years.
@KingdomRoxas1 FF7 is great by today's standards. :) I feel FF6 is an epic though, and has the best music of ANY video game in the history of gaming! Only couple contenders for that, Ocarina of Time and some of the Super Mario Bros. games.
@PapaChewie As far as FF7 bashing goes, I think SpoonyOne said it best. "I don't hate FF7, I just hate the people who obsess over it." I don't think anyone truly hates FF7, but the fanboys really put them (and me) off.
@cb52211 I can understand that, but it's a double edged sword. You hate FF7 fanboys, I hate people who go onto EVERY video about an RPG game and immediately post "I love this game, much better than that crappy overrated FF7.
@PapaChewie It's people trying to make up for OTT comments they've seen praising FF7 as 'the best RPG ever made!' and the likes. For some reason people think they need to counter-balance the OTT comments with comments that over-spill in the opposite direction. Funny that they end up looking even more silly and dumb than the people who say things like "Best game possible".
@PapaChewie I just love coming onto Youtube and find all of these people replying to the same person. Makes me think he or she's a troll bashing genious!
If Kefka REALLY wanted to be god then he would have equipped himself with an Offering and Genji Glove with Atma Weapon and Illumina. Noone would have beat the game xD
The one thing that has annoyed me, however, is the continual selection of annoying effeminate or angsty main characters. My understanding is Square planned to undo this in 12 by making Basch the protagonist, but market testing in Japan made them switch over to Vaan. They've got some weird priorities over there, man.
Glad to see so many other people accept that the fetishization of FF7 is wholly unwarranted. Excellent game, but the character development, music, and sheer fun were no match for 3/6, which is still my favorite of the bunch.
FF7 dosen't derve anything above #10 because the soundtracks wern't that amazing except for maybe the obvious sephiroth theme tune.) Im not a FF7 fanboy anyways. Im actually wierd and liked 8 more o_0
Nothing against the soundtrack, it's just not my favourite :)
Maybe a bit long and the song is not so much a game song as it seems more like a artform.
I have a love for music and ff6 has the most complex theme for any rpg i have yet seen.
People will compare sonic wich has nice music but is not on the level,although would say donkey kong is pretty damm good too,and metroid is also great in atmosphere.
metroid always had great atmosphere and zelda too has really good atmosphere music.
you can't get yourself to do try something because it is popular?
why, you must be so proud of being such a nonconforming, selfrightious ass.
don't worry, I assure you it's just a phase you are going through. the rebellious phase generally ends at around the age of 16-19, but you might be a little behind the curve.
my personal opinion about FF7 is that it should have been the start of a spin-off series, similar to how the SMT: Persona series was a spin-off of the regular Shin Megami Tensei games. instead, it became the dominant final fantasy style, destroying the chance of them making a new old-school final fantasy. it's actually a really good game, it just isn't the best. my personal favorite goes to FFIV, simply because I like to think of Golbez as Ben from wayrift.
not true. it's actually a well made RPG with a thought out story and complex character development, and it could have rivaled Xenogears as a cult classic-but instead, it became another overhyped piece of mainstream crap. don't hate it-feel sorry for it.
I disagree to your disagreement. they may have had some storytelling problems, but they also had some good moments, such as the scene where jenova's head is seperated from her body, or any scene involving the turks.
@piromaniac9999 The storyline to Final Fantasy 7 was incomprehensible and the ending had to be the worst in the entire Final Fantasy series, barring none because it made absolutely no sense and was completely unsatisfying considering the level of effort needed to put down the final boss.
@piromaniac9999 Dont say 7 and up like the rest of the games after it were as mediocre as ff7... What about 8 and 9? still, my money is on six as the best one.
@piromaniac9999 You see though, I am going to have to disagree with your statement that 9 had better character development then 8. 8 had amazing character development. It was a bit more big idea focused then 6, But in reality, All of the characters had there historys and they all developed into well rounded characters near the end. And thats why squall went from annoying, to a reasonable guy
I agreed that six still had better character development. FF9 didnt have bad character development either. I just think eight did a better job. development wise when it comes to 9 VS 8. six still beats both of them.
@piromaniac9999 FF6 beats FF8 in everything. In fact, FF6 is probably the best SNES Final Fantasy made if not the best FF game in the entire series. It's got everything, a decent storyline, subquests, character diversity, good replay value, and challenging battles (when doom + vanish got fixed =P)
@piromaniac9999 I know exactly what you're talking about. VII and VIII (especially VIII) had many unbelievably annoying characters like Squall, Zell, Selphie and even Sephiroth (who I personally hated). 9 was much more reminiscent of the older FF games, which I really like.
I didn't find VIII's character's that terrible. IX is my favourite, still, character's are really awesome, hated none of them, not even Eiko. Squall is angsty but it fits him. Zell's idiotism and hot-headiness is entertaining. I hated Rinoa the most, half of the game time was saving her from trouble because she can't stay in one place without being chained to floor or something.
In all honesty, out of all the final fantasy villians I have fought, the only one to scare me in every way, as a good villian should, is Kefka. The laugh, the dress, his entire demeanor, and disregard for life, and sheer lust for destruction, from Figaro, to the entire world, adds up to the most epic villian I have ever come to fear, and respect.
Naw... just Kefka. Evil incarnate, with mental instability, and urge to destroy all, and build a momnument to non-exhistance. Not death, not destruction, but a nullification of all exhistance. THAT my friend... is evil.
i wish i were kefka, then i be a god, and people have to fight me, SWEET! at least i WON'T be bored no more, and everyone can see me, now i think i found one way to get rid of boredness! :D
Well it's not really explained well in the game, but as for Kefka, his goal was pretty simple, he just wanted death and destruction while becoming a God. While Seph, well he summoned meteor to damage the planet, not destroy so that he could become a God and take control of the Lifestream, and if he did that he could sail trough space as the planet as his vessel to new planets and build a shining future.
At least that's what I get from it, it's not really explained well in the game.
I totally agree! Kefka is by far my favorite Final Fantasy villian. He's delightfully insane and unapologetic and he's the only villian I know of who actually succeeded in destroying the world.
FYI, the Kefka laugh was also recycled in the game called Chrono Trigger, McNagah. Coincidentially, Nobou Uematsu also had done the music to that game, too. As for where to find it, I have found it in the dungeons of 1000 A.D., 600 A.D., in one of the buildings in 2300 A.D., and in both Magus'/Magou's Castle and Ozzie's/Binegar's Fort in 600 A.D.
This is a very "wiry" video. =p

Glad to see so many other people accept that the fetishization of FF7 is wholly unwarranted. Excellent game, but the character development, music, and sheer fun were no match for 3/6, which is still my favorite of the bunch.

i respect that opinion. I enjoy both games and agree 6 is amazing, but also feel 7 is very good too

FF7 dosen't derve anything above #10 because the soundtracks wern't that amazing except for maybe the obvious sephiroth theme tune.) Im not a FF7 fanboy anyways. Im actually wierd and liked 8 more o_0
Nothing against the soundtrack, it's just not my favourite :)

At 4:00 and on is just perfect.
I think this should've been number 1.
Dancing Mad is everything a true final boss theme should be.
SuperPandas 2 years ago 2
i think the beginning is also perfect.
Maybe a bit long and the song is not so much a game song as it seems more like a artform.
I have a love for music and ff6 has the most complex theme for any rpg i have yet seen.
People will compare sonic wich has nice music but is not on the level,although would say donkey kong is pretty damm good too,and metroid is also great in atmosphere.
metroid always had great atmosphere and zelda too has really good atmosphere music.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
lol the 3-and-a-half minute long beginning?

that is why i say it is more towards being a song itself.
The classical part can be heard on its own without the game and be really good.
That is what i mean.
And yeah,i admit that it is a bit too long,but they did fit it in just right to the boss fight.

ff7 has too many fanboys and or people who avoid old games to make a good opinion.
They only opinion about ff7 and up and never mention ff6 ff5 ff4 ff1,2 and 3 nes ff legends 1 2 and 3 or even chrystal chronicles.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago 2
my personal opinion about FF7 is that it should have been the start of a spin-off series, similar to how the SMT: Persona series was a spin-off of the regular Shin Megami Tensei games. instead, it became the dominant final fantasy style, destroying the chance of them making a new old-school final fantasy. it's actually a really good game, it just isn't the best. my personal favorite goes to FFIV, simply because I like to think of Golbez as Ben from wayrift.
angelwriter360 2 years ago
i think ff7 is mediocre
its not bad but not terrible either
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
not true. it's actually a well made RPG with a thought out story and complex character development, and it could have rivaled Xenogears as a cult classic-but instead, it became another overhyped piece of mainstream crap. don't hate it-feel sorry for it.
angelwriter360 2 years ago
I disagree.
Cloud and sephiroth were bland,even when the story was concentrated on them,i still hate em.
i hate cloud more than sephiroth because One minute he doesn't give a shit and then the next he is crying about aeris?
WTF? barret and the rest made no impact on me,so its as if they don't exist and cid was the only one i actually liked at all.
The villains were somewhat better,but not much.
Shinra should have stayed the main villain.
Or have sephiroth die and for it to be tragic.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
I disagree to your disagreement. they may have had some storytelling problems, but they also had some good moments, such as the scene where jenova's head is seperated from her body, or any scene involving the turks.
angelwriter360 2 years ago
i liked some of the ideas,but the main story annoys me and cloud's story annoys me.
The game annoys me to hell.
I am so tired of hearing of ff7,that i would be happy to never see another sequel ever again.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
@piromaniac9999 The storyline to Final Fantasy 7 was incomprehensible and the ending had to be the worst in the entire Final Fantasy series, barring none because it made absolutely no sense and was completely unsatisfying considering the level of effort needed to put down the final boss.
HisDivineShadow245 2 years ago
The story was also not focused properly.
It kept obsessing over his past and YAWN!! it was a bit dull in the end.

@piromaniac9999 Dont say 7 and up like the rest of the games after it were as mediocre as ff7... What about 8 and 9? still, my money is on six as the best one.

L7dreamtheaterfan 2 years ago
8 wasn't that good in gameplay,neither was 9
9 had better character developement than 8 and 7.
10 had a good story and it was actually interesting as well.
FF10 itself is about racism,being indoctrinated.
Remember that when you go to bevelle you find technology? Bevelle the city of the religious believers.
Then they criticise poor albhed peope and generalize and stereotype them.
While there are some extreems in the albhed comunity,there are also extremes in bevelle.
its interesting.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
@piromaniac9999 You see though, I am going to have to disagree with your statement that 9 had better character development then 8. 8 had amazing character development. It was a bit more big idea focused then 6, But in reality, All of the characters had there historys and they all developed into well rounded characters near the end. And thats why squall went from annoying, to a reasonable guy
L7dreamtheaterfan 2 years ago
i think ff6 still beats ff8 in character developement.
Even though i found zell fighting with squalls nemesis interesting,there was something about the characters and dialogue.
I also thougt the dialogue was very good in ff9 beatrix was really good,so was steiner and blank and marco.
I didn't care for eiko that much,and quina annoys me.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
I agreed that six still had better character development. FF9 didnt have bad character development either. I just think eight did a better job. development wise when it comes to 9 VS 8. six still beats both of them.
L7dreamtheaterfan 2 years ago
The thing that annoys me of ff8,is the linearity
Both ff8 ff9 and FFX have linearity,and so was FFX
I think final fantasy series is already overrated.
The early ones were great,but the other ones seem to fall a bit short.
I didn't care much for ff8,ff9 made me laugh and had interesting dialogue,the childish manner did kind of put me off though.
I found zell could be funny,the romance part is a major put off to me.
Mostly because unless its done well,it can come out corny.
piromaniac9999 2 years ago
@piromaniac9999 FF6 beats FF8 in everything. In fact, FF6 is probably the best SNES Final Fantasy made if not the best FF game in the entire series. It's got everything, a decent storyline, subquests, character diversity, good replay value, and challenging battles (when doom + vanish got fixed =P)
HisDivineShadow245 2 years ago 8

@piromaniac9999 I know exactly what you're talking about. VII and VIII (especially VIII) had many unbelievably annoying characters like Squall, Zell, Selphie and even Sephiroth (who I personally hated). 9 was much more reminiscent of the older FF games, which I really like.
RhysWood 2 years ago
I didn't find VIII's character's that terrible. IX is my favourite, still, character's are really awesome, hated none of them, not even Eiko. Squall is angsty but it fits him. Zell's idiotism and hot-headiness is entertaining. I hated Rinoa the most, half of the game time was saving her from trouble because she can't stay in one place without being chained to floor or something.
Sephiroth sucks.

In all honesty, out of all the final fantasy villians I have fought, the only one to scare me in every way, as a good villian should, is Kefka. The laugh, the dress, his entire demeanor, and disregard for life, and sheer lust for destruction, from Figaro, to the entire world, adds up to the most epic villian I have ever come to fear, and respect.

lpenrike 2 years ago 4
Well it's not really explained well in the game, but as for Kefka, his goal was pretty simple, he just wanted death and destruction while becoming a God. While Seph, well he summoned meteor to damage the planet, not destroy so that he could become a God and take control of the Lifestream, and if he did that he could sail trough space as the planet as his vessel to new planets and build a shining future.
At least that's what I get from it, it's not really explained well in the game.

FYI, the Kefka laugh was also recycled in the game called Chrono Trigger, McNagah. Coincidentially, Nobou Uematsu also had done the music to that game, too. As for where to find it, I have found it in the dungeons of 1000 A.D., 600 A.D., in one of the buildings in 2300 A.D., and in both Magus'/Magou's Castle and Ozzie's/Binegar's Fort in 600 A.D.
