    Edit: Since this got so much traction, I also plan to be buried holding my wife's urn. My family has always been a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu since i learned to read on the Final Fantasy II (released as IV in Japan) VI sets the scene for ultimately the socially accepted masterpiece of VII though being critically acclaim pales in comparison to the introduction of Alexander magicite in VI or the origin of so many truly in depth questions presented from a moral obligation and the nature of the universe's entropy. I am. We are. Truly indebted. Anyway, the drop came g2g lol GG

    I find Kefka a tragic figure. He willingly offers himself to undergo a magitek experiment for the sake of his country, and it leaves him mad. In this form, he can only see the meaninglessness of existence. All living things strive for more, yet alway end the same way. Death is the inevitable end result.
    And so, he sees destruction as the only meaning to life. He feeds into that intent, and sews chaos, fear, and death wherever he goes.
    He goes far enough as to become a literal god of destruction, and then... he waits? Did he tire of casting down destruction from atop his throne?
    Is it because, seeing the state he left the world in, he felt that their end was inevitable and his own actions felt meaningless? Or maybe he realized that soon there'd be nothing left to destroy, and then HE'D be meaningless? Or perhaps, like Pandora's box, he couldn't help but have an ounce of hope?
    We may never truly know.

      @@iRavenTM Cool, I like FF9, too. It's one of my favorite games, even more so than 6.
      That said, I'm not just grasping at strings. Almost everything I've said in terms of his backstory is from official material, he was perhaps Gestahl's most loyal General and the magitek experiment detroyed his mind and left his motivations as simply "ever escalating destruction".
      But that leaves a few questions: "When his goal is to destroy the world, why didn't he just end it in the year he spent atop the tower? Why even CREATE a monument to himself, when all he wanted was destruction?"
      THAT'S why I'm analyzing. Because he's at the peak of power and all he wants is to destroy everything, yet his actions say the exact opposite.

    Kefka didn't win in this game He was searching for his meaning of existence and of all things. But he always came up with the same answer, nothing. In the end everything withers and dies, what was the point of living then? He found his fundamental principle of life in destruction because it was the only inevitable thing in the world, the end to which everything came. The answers I was looking for must be there. Kefka did not find joy in the perishable, in the earthly, so he aimed towards the divine, towards the eternal. That which escaped death and destruction His goal was not to become a god, that was just one more step he had to climb. Kefka gains power, destroys the world and plunges it into terror and violence. He became that inescapable force of life, he had finally found meaning in his existence... Or he thought he had. Until he realized that eventually, he would run out of life to torture, mountains to crush, and oceans to dry up. Maybe then he should also destroy the universe, extinguish all its stars and destroy all its planets. But then what would happen next? When there is nothing to destroy and the cosmos is an infinite wasteland of darkness. What was going to be left? Again, he came to the same answer, the answer that destroyed his mind. Nothing Everything he did, all his triumphs, all the power he gained. Everything was to reach the same conclusion, nothing Kefka realized that it was nothing, eternity had not made him escape from its mortal and perishable prison. I had only made him come in... In a bigger cage, one he could never escape from, except through death himself.

    Replace the guitar solo with a choir. Way better.

      Changed my mind, there's already a choir at the very end of the solo.

      It's a prog-rock song, plus there's already choir in here.
