Final Fantasy 6 – Kefka

Not even snappy writing could save Kefka from his ridiculous appearance

Any Final Fantasy aficionado will know Kefka as one of the most celebrated villains of all time. He’s fairly haphazard and passionate about slaughter for the fun of it. When confronted by the Returners in Narshe Cliffs and subsequently defeated though, Kefka runs away. That’s when he promises revenge, which might not be all that threatening if it were other villains. Kefka more than delivers on that latter however.
