SNES Final Fantasy VI (III US) Gameplay - Part 033 - Kefka Kills Gestahl and Destroys the World

Gestahl's attempts to put an end to the maniacal Kefka has proven to be futile. Kefka calls for the aid of the Triad to attack Gestahl, and sure enough he succeeds. At this point, all hell breaks loose. Kefka throws the fallen Emperor off of the continent and then arranges the Triad to his own will, disrupting the delicate balance between them. As the heroes watch hopelessly, Shadow jumps in to give them one last chance of escape. He traps Kefka between the statues to buy time. However, the actions that Kefka just did will forever change the face of the world...

About the Clip: Using ZSNES v1.51, I first recorded the gameplay as a ZMV. Then I dumped the video footage using ZSNES' movie dumping feature. The RAW dumps serve as an excellent way to get a pristine source, since all the color information remains intact. Next, I used various common video tools to edit the video for YouTube, including: AVISynth, VirtualDub, BeSweet, Lagarith Lossless Codec, x264, Nero AAC and mkvtoolnix.

Imagine how this scene would look in today's graphics? Mind-blowing.

Kefka is the most evil villain in the FF franchise. Unlike others, he actually succeeds in destroying the whole world permanently, and achieves Godhood!

[jakedge3]

@jakedge3 but caius is not as hysterical and downright comical as kefka, kefka and sheogorath for president! 2 madgods in the cheese 4 change and destroy everything campaign!

[jakedge3]

@Pharphain yeah, but he came pretty close, ff13-2's caius ballad is the only villain to get farther than kefka, he actually wins in the end.

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

you FF7 fags who masturbate to sephirot every day can suck it,kefka is the best and cruelest villain ever. EVER.

Kefka, ExDeath and Emperor Mateus are IMO the most powerful villains of the FF franchise. Kefka becomes a god and leaves an everlasting effect on the world. (When he dies, magic dissapears from the world). Mateus becomes the emperor of earth, heaven AND hell, and ExDeath is powerful enough to engulf the whole world into nothing (but he's stopped before managing to do so, of course)

@scaIpeI You guys don't seem to remember that Kefka did this spur of the moment. Without Gestahl he wouldn't have even got it half way. Kefka didn't plan to betray him, none of it was planned. Just in the right place at the right time.

I agree, kefka did achieve godhood, but then again you know, something curious about final fantasy 7 (which is one of my favorite games of the saga along with FF6 of course) is that a lot of people complain and say that with Final fantasy 7 the ''angsty teenagers'' started, which isn't true because all characters from ff7 are adults and they are around 20 and 30 years except yuffie she's 16 years old in the game, the ''angsty teenagers'' started in FF8...

[Pharphain]

@scaIpeI Shadow also moved one of the statues, does that make him a Godly evil mastermind as well?

[Pharphain]

@scaIpeI Go Re-Play Final Fantasy VI and then tell me if it explains ANYWHERE that they rebuilt the world. I doubt that they rebuilt the world that fast. And like I said before Kefka "Destroying the world" really wasn't that great. "Uwee he he he! It's time to move some statues!" Moving statues doesn't count knowing he didn't do any destruction himself. And what are you talking about? Sin destroyed half the world, and he did this practically at the beginning of FFX.

[scaIpeI]

@Pharphain You're missing the point. Kefka does destroy the world (hence the new name: "World of Ruin"?).

Yes, the world does get rebuilt after Kefka's defeat. But Kefka does tear the world apart before that. Most villains don't even get that far.

Example. Sephiroth summons a comet down to Earth and then it gets crushed into small bits of rubble by the lifestream before even touching ground.

[Pharphain]

@scaIpeI In the end of FF6, when they are flying in the airship, if you look at the ground it isn't destroyed anymore... It wasn't permanent. Kefka really didn't succeed at anything. All Kefka did was move some statues and then claimed that he was god... And when I say he didn't succeed at anything, I mean that he didn't complete his goal, his goal was to destroy everything completely, and failed.
