He needs a cleft chin and square jaw., his face in this render looks too long. Going off of Amano's art I think Kefka is heavily inspired by Fabio.

What version of FF6 should I play for my first time? Is there some hack I should download?

>>8191362
just emulate the snes one.

>>8190953
MOM'S GONNA FREAK

>>8191362
I can't say if this patch is good for a first time player but you might want to give it a try after you read its description.

No thanks

He’s just like me, intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor!

>>8191574

Also, he's killed a lot of people and wears lots of colorful makeup. Just Like Me

Is it just me or the characters of FFVI are like a million times better than FFVII's characters?

>>8190953
WE LIVE IN AN EMPIRE

Looks like Square was setting trends 20 years before they got popular. Lotsa dudes wearing makeup now.

It's hard to give a recommendation because there's no ideal version. GBA has best translation but washed out colors and awful sound (even after patched) the SNES translations are a mixed bag as far as I know none of the translators actually speak Japanese so take that how you will.

I believe there's a GBA script hack for the SNES but I'm not certain. I'd suggest waiting a few months for the pixel remaster. It may have a new translation that's more faithful than the GBA one.

>>8192453
The Pixel Remasters have used the exact same translations as the GBA and PSP scripts of the games released so far, so don't count on it.

>>8191702
You're wrong

nobody in 6 is as good as Barret, but overall 6 has better characters indeed

>>8192965
Barret is a good character, but his role is a bit watered down in the general scope of the FFVII story. The core FFVI characters have plenty to do across the whole thing, but their individual stories are a bit less interesting (probably just because of the more minimal staging and dialogue though)

>>8190953
I'm curious. Are there any other examples (in ANY type of media) in which a secondary/comic relief antagonist eventually becomes the ultimate threat in the story?

>>8192976

Off topic but, as I understand it, making Kefka "funny" was a western translation thing. The Jap version casts him as less psychotic, more dangerous and evil from the start.

Who's the bigger fop, Kefka or Kuja?

>>8192984
I imagine he was played more as a foppish nobleman, and thus his laugh was more of an OH HO HO HO ojou than a "regular" laugh.

Kefka’s a fop. Kuja is a slut.

>>8192976
the live action scooby doo movie

>>8191505
Wasnt asking you, faggot

>>8192991
Kefka is a retard, Kuja is based

>>8191702
not at all, they're quite one dimensional

>>8193049
The worth of a characters is not proportional to how much you may want to fuck him, anon

>>8193040
Nah, that's another kind of "subversion", but it's from a movie that's not even trying to walk the line between continuity and parody.

The woolseyfication accounts for some of that, but in all versions he still begins as an over the top jackass prancing all over the place and throwing childish tantrums to the background of his own comedic theme song (not to mention the concept and promo art).

I think people do genuinely consider him one of the best villains in the series but can't really process the fact that he IS supposed to be an almost literal clown, so they kind of force themselves to perceive more genuine menace or depth to him than there really is there.

He IS a fantastic villain, but not as much because of his character by itself, but because of how he is used in the story. It's not that you don't see him as a real villain in the first part of the game, but you don't really get to respect him as a threat or take him 100% seriously, even at his worst (the poison stuff etc); at the same time, you do understand he's got no trace of morals, humanity or even a real purpose in him, so when he's suddenly raised to godlike power, the OH FUCK moment is amazingly effective.

>>8193049
Kefka may be a clown but he’s an actual man unlike that literal femboy

>>8192991
Kuja's butt is irresistible.

>>8193215
Exdeath is more manly than both of them, and he's a fucking tree.

>>8193661
True, Exdeath is quite manly. Kefka is clown Fabio in aesthetic, but in behavior he's coo-coo for destruction. Surely Kefka was more of a man before the magitek experiments. I haven't played FF XI yet, is Kuja manly at all? I understand he was in a monogamous relationship with a woman so he at least came in proximity to fatherhood. How manly would you say Gneral Leo was?

>>8190953
I wish FF1 let you leave the chaos temple in the past and explore the world of 2000 years ago.
Is there an RPG that does this?

>>8191362
Woolsey Uncensored is the best patch. Play that one. You get the charm of woolsey with the acknowledgment of death and uncensored sprites.

>>8192984
Ironically, the Japanese fandom hate Kefka in FF6 because he's "boring and generic", and welcomed the psycho aspects from the Woolsey version when it got incorporated on that PSP game.

>>8193661
Trees are pretty manly. Just look at the Ents.

There is Final Fantasy 6: Divergent Paths. Among other things, it gives you the mog's amulet at the start of the game, which when equipped disabled random battles.

This is just my personal preference on things. I absolutely hate the random encounter rate in this game, and YES I know it's far from the worst RPG in this regard but still idgaf

>>8196430
Why even play the game then? Just watch a YT longplay
