- What can I really say?? Are you surprised that this is my favorite FF next to IX?? This game is just ridiculous, and when I say ridiculous, I mean one of the best games EVER! Sure I think FFVII is great and everything, but FFVI IS better. The music, so many characters(14) that have great personalities, the story, KEFKA!!! So many moments in this game are extremely memorable(NOT JUST THE OPERA SCENE) although yes, the opera scene gave me goosebumps like many scenes and music in this game. What about the Phantom Train? Sabin being self aware "I CAN SUPLEX A MOTHER F@#!%ING TRAIN!" The haunted mansion??? That scared the shit out of me!! Kefka destroying the world?? How about Relm being an extraordinary artist??!! Being sooo good she can sketch Kefka's divine image, she's a Picasso, A SALVADOR DALI!!!.....ok, I'll stop rambling now. Games amazing, go f***ing play it. Don't be playing trash like XIII, if I CaTCH YoU pLAyiNg thAt CRaP...aaeeh....AAAEEHHH! Lost Odyssey is the REAL FFXIII.
The music in this entire sequence is absolutely incredible. And the moment when you finish the 3rd phase and the title screen theme plays as Kefka descends is one of the coolest moments I've ever seen in a game. There aren't many boss battles and there's aren't many games that play quite like this one.
Well it is Final Fantasy 6, so there are at least 5 games before that played like it did. And considering there are games after this one we can safely assume that they play a lot like FF6 too
FFVIII did a great job with Ultimecia and her descending into her true form. Was also a very memorable fight with a great soundtrack as well.
It's also based on tarkus

Kefka has the most artistic structure in the history of FF. looks like he hired Michelangelo to design his statue of the gods
Joker checks under his bed every night for Kefka
Joker would be Kefka's fanboy.
This comment had me in stitches lol
Joker also became God at one point.
Gilgamesh yup. Emperor Joker is WAY more overpowered than Kefka.
Kazuya not even close.
Japanese RPG be like
-Mission one: save the cat
-Final Mission: Defeat God
No.
Save doge.
Then fight meme messiah
That mission halfway thru the game: Defeat your father
-secret mission: Defeat a god that will take you 8 hours to kill effinciently

@@Peter_1986 nailed it
THE END COMES BEOND THE CHAOS. Does he know he has done lost by then? He says it when he is about to die. People make him out to be crazy. He has acimplshed his goals for a year at least. He could have destroyed everyone an everything then what next be bord for ever. They R 2 or 3 different meanings for THE END COMES BEOND THE CHAOS idk witch one he is implying.That he knows he has lost or it will take them another 1,000 years to get back the teck they had loast and recover from everything he has done. Like the joker he has no need for monetary valuable's he just does shit at the inpulss of the moment.He told emperor Justinian to shut up I'm trying to teach Thies fools the meaning of true power Hr' tryd to kill him so he done away with him. In the Mega teck research facility he was talkin about moving the statues and creating a world of kefka so he's had to have plannd up to that moment at least. The joker said he was a man with out a plane if he caught a tier he wouldn't know what to do with it. If anyone has a theory about what he meant about THE END COMES BEOND THE CHAOS?.I'd like to know what u thank he meat in his frame of mind when he said that? I just wrote a long self help book .I'm sorry just a lot to say.I wish square soft would make some better games like the older ones. 2 thank ff 1 saved them from going bankrupt. We would not have a lot of Thies good games.l need to shut up before I make another chapter.
Can we just appreciate how a little girl is trying to save the world with her friends by drawing god to recover her team's health? I think we should.
his? Also kefka isnt God, he got his ass whooped.
@@OmegaChase1002 well I mean God has been known to get his ass kicked. Regularly
@@CripplingDuality by science, lol
Reddit moment
@@CripplingDuality these days he goes by the name Chuck Shurley.
I will always remember my most nail biting moment. I was at the end of the game, I was below 50% of all my pcs, and Kefka was casting Goner. The skies turned started to change and the skies turned white. I closed my eyes and prepared to replay the WHOLE final battle. That is when Edgar came down and I heard the crack to indicate victory was mine. That was my greatest win in any video game.
Sounds epic
Wish that happened to me, my Terra is so powerful with the economizer and XMagic that she basically wiped Kefka in using ULTIMA.
@@poptartorange5621 Lmaooo my first run of this game years ago had Sabin as my main caster and he did the job just as well imo
Sick haha
I remember in my first run, i was obsessed with the magic system i had Celes with the 2x magic and killed kefka with her 9999x2 ultimate each round lol
I love how Kefka as, “God” immediately starts asking questions. He may have immense power, but he is certainly not all-knowing. I don’t believe for one second that it was an oversight by Square either.
That's Kefka for ya. That's just what happens when you let man become God. All the power in the world, but it's only limited to how much you are willing to use it for.
Hey ! (many people say) my songs are Final Fantasy OSTs-like ! You should check ;)
He thinks he's god when he isn't
Was it that he wasn't all knowing or was it just Kefka trying to get into the heads of his foils to attempt to demoralize them and make them second guess themselves?
@@MLIrons I like to theorize is a mixture of both with him.
Kefka doesn't even make a dying speech or curse at the end. Not a word . That is some powerful stuff.
It's crazy what people actually consider "Powerful Stuff"
+kinganarkzie at least he doesn't watch other people give birth...I looked at your history.
+Dark Lord of Insanity That makes him something else, he goes beyond to even be called a villian
Tracey Redus aaaaannnddd.....that's the part where you get a tsunami of VII fanboys bitching at your comment.
Not me though,I agree with your every word.
I think of the entire theme song throughout the tower fight as his speech.
Kefka needs to have double his HP, I really feel like this battle always ends too quickly.
Newblish No, double HP isnt enough. He needs, at least, to have quadruple his HP.
@@grimmer5621 This comment gave me sore eyes, literally
@@decastar3010 Sorry, i am russian, my english isnt perfect.
If you grind your characters like cray, yeah, Kefka goes down easy... Try going at him without using Espers to level up and at a low level, and you'll see.
@@grimmer5621 Aiyeah! You dunno how to speak english? You must go to teacher and learn english there (That aiyeah was from terranigma)
Kefka: What’s the point of living if everyone dies one day?
Also Kefka: *Doesnt kill himself and tries to apply the logic to others*
everybody except him. he basically made himself a god so he was immortal unless he could be stopped
It took me so long to realize what Kefka meant when he said "The end comes...beyond chaos." It is so clear now and powerful. Kefka, after seemingly destroying all hope, love, all things he hates (since he sees them as useless), after putting so many obstacles in the path of the heroes in order to stop them from reaching him, after believing he is a god, unstoppable, that he is already won, he faces the ultimate coup de gras: he realizes before it all began, he already lost. Without getting too much into it, there is a theme that plays out throughout the entire game: all things come to an end, with balance come ruin, ebb and flow. You can look to a ton of points in the game to see this.
Kefka, however, believed that he was capable of escaping this inherent circle of life. His own ego blinded him. So in this last moment, as he is staring down the heroes that represent hope, love, life, all the things he seeks to destroy, he ironically realizes that they will ultimately destroy him, and they always were going to. So he murmurs the line "the end comes...beyond chaos." And this could be taken in so many ways. First, he could mean, "I realize now, before I even began this path of destruction, my end was already in the distance." This is punctuated, literally, by the ellipses. They show his own train of thought playing out before the eyes of the characters, him in that moment realizing, "Oh my, this was destined. The very thing I set to destroy came back and destroyed me." This bitterly ironic statement is a moment of humility for Kefka, demonstrated by holding his head as the building begins to collapse. The head represents his ego, the laughing head of Kefka.
To the players it is also the most powerful theme in the game. It is not that love triumphs all, hope always wins, it is that all things in the world are precious. Life ends. The very irony of life that all come to realize is before you are ever born, you are already dead. And because of this, your life, your impact, what you do, who you love, what you cherish, it is the very meaning of what is worth fighting for. Even Kefka in his final moments find humility in realizing his life went by wasted. And everything he valued crumbled. The only thing that lives on is in the people that continue to live. So the message is: what will you leave when you die that lives on in the people you touched? And this makes the ending so much more meaningful, because it is a tribute to the people that may have been lost, but not forgotten.
Simply beautiful. One sentence, perfect.
you can sum this masterpiece up in 3 words: too much ego
+Kevin Haghi This is officially the best comment on UA-cam. You did an amazing job at reading in between the lines, and summing it up really nicely.
It all makes sense. There is no way Kefka can truly win. He was doomed from the start.
Yet, YVHV in SMT 2 and 4:Apocalypse had the same thing...
'coup de grâce', rather
One of history's greatest crimes was giving Kefka a measly 62k HP.
Should have been 1,000,000
Unfortunately the SNES' technical limitations prevented enemies from having higher HP values. So instead of increasing his health, increase his damage and make him have 2 turns. That would be more challenging. I love this game, one of my top 5 but it is way too easy.
Or make it like Kaiser Dragon, let him have multiple phases.
@@sopmodjunyaaa I'm very happy he wasn't harder. I died way too many times to him, and ultimately won by just spamming Ultima
@@sopmodjunyaaa yea something like 65500 is the max
7:39 the way the music fits to the next phase is so satisfying
"Dancing Mad" will forever be my favorite boss theme!
Idk the decisive battle from V is a pretty good contender!
@@jamesfrequay7816 bruh what 🤣
''Why do people cling to life when they know I'll eventually kill them?'' Spoken like a mad man.
FireBomberBassist I agree with Kefka though, why would people still want to live even though there's so much bad stuff happening in the world?!
cus of ice cream
there's still hope
Evelyn L. Maybe insanity? It's said that that is doing the same thing and expecting it to be different...
@@Peter_1986 Even though it's such a simplistic message in hindsight, I really love the way the game conveys this message. These characters hopes and motives have a sense of authenticity to them.
Do ya'll understand/realize that Uematsu had to compose this whole thing in separate pieces for each tier/level of the final fight, and that the pieces had to be able to transition ON CUE with the players pace of defeating each part?! It's like a modular masterpiece. Unreal. Each tier that is triggered tells the game to start the next musical piece whenever the last one comes to a part that can musically move to the next. I don't know if I'm describing it well, but it's insane.
How is that insane?
@@dneneb1698 um “insane” as a slang for “quite a bit more involved and impressive than most people may know or even notice”. How bout dat? ;)
@@halcyo I just thought it's more of some basic game design, the execution is obviously really good.
It's really good but the transition is not on cue its much less complex. It just waits for the song to reach the end and the game checks if the player is in the next phase, if not it loops again and if yes then just starts playing the next track.
It still good and all but not all that complex. Octopath traveler does what you describe, transitions on cue and the pieces are composed in order to do that
@@arielcerecer142 I don't think that's the case, because the track doesn't end at the part where it is supposed to loop, for example; if the track is 4 minutes long, and the track is currently at 2m 20s, and the player transitions to the next part of the battle, the track will stop at a certain segment marked at 2m 30s and not 4m because that's when that section of the track can stop seamlessly and make a perfect transition , I think what the op said is more accurate, the track is probably separated into many different sections, each section has a certain time, for example, 10 seconds, if 3 out of 10 seconds were playing and the player transitions to the next part of the battle, it will play the rest 7 seconds to guarantee a perfect transition, the entire track for each section is long, and having to wait for the entire track to reach the end would mean that a big section of the first track would continue to play in section 2 after the player moves to the next one.
I find it interesting, that for as much as he talks, in his final moments of life, he has nothing to say. Perhaps he accepts this is the end of his pitiful life, or is stunned into silence that he was actually defeated.
I guess, we won't really ever know.
Or the developers didn’t have time to add in a speech
@@iam4026 Seems odd that of the many things they failed to do that. I mean the credits sequence would suggest otherwise.
@@DarkArtistKaiser yeah I think it was intentional
I think he was really stunned. He was defeated as a DIVINE BEING. I mean, you gotta hand it to Kefka: Was that even possible?
@@DarkArtistKaiser right. As intricate & dense as this game is, something as minor as a simple few lines of text wouldn't be hard to code in at all
Those are some really clever music transitions every time a tier is defeated
18:06
That kefka attack and music syncs perfectly love it
Imagine how fucking epic this boss would be if remade. It's kind of hard to imagine it in glorious 3D but I'm sure they could make it happen.
+FireBomberBassist that timing with his laugh plus goner
The sprite work is just so damn impressive I almost don't want it in 3D. I'll admire it like this!

It's coming in FFXIV end of this month. ua-cam.com/video/_1tABKPBlJs/v-deo.html. Enjoy~~~
That moment when a final fantasy that came out in 1994 has a better final boss than one that came out in 2016
But ardyn was really good too
Adrian Hurni Hardly, the fight was just about holding circle and using potions.
Count Artorias even though i love ardyn this is just pure epic, and it isn't exactly easy, while ardyn didnt even make me sweat
Ardyn was a joke.
I'm not sure.
Casting Life 3 on everyone is a thing.
2024 anyone?😁😁😁

Yes!

100%ed the game today!
The final theme has got to be one of the best pieces of progressive music I've ever heard!
of course, it's Tarkus from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, great taste from FFVI producers
The final battle theme is a great piece of music to be sure but now I feel like the music doesn't fully match the details of what the characters are facing.
The ost is Dancing Mad for the record
Its good but in the part of "angels" its gets a celebration/joyful style music. It doesnt fit at all for a ultimate final Boss, horrible choice in my opinion
@@denisschuster6461 it fits Kefka imo
I disagree, i think kefka is better than sephiroth.
Sephiroth went bad because he read a book, but at least kefka showed he was evil from the start.
Sephiroth is a mama's boy, Kefka just wants to see the world burn just because. It's not hard to see who the better villain is.
The think about kefka, is he seems like a psycopath.He derives pleasure from making people suffer.He is also an egomaniac who enjoys power, and the more power he has, the worse he is.He even humiliates guards and watches them burn.
Sephiroth i think is more about being crazy than evil.I think of that video where sephiroth is ignoring cloud and talking to jenova thinking its his mom, but it isn't.He seemed like a victim of society, so you kind of feel sorry for him.The real ff7 villain is hojo, because what he did is clearly a crime against humanity.
Sephiroth is not even the main villain because you don't even see him til the very end, Jenova is more of the villain of FF7. But I guess Hojo can be classed as one.
I think it depends more on what type of villain you like. Do you like someone who personifies evil, forces of nature, rational but vengeful villains, fallen heroes or just someone who's moral values are at odds with your own? Personally, I like villains that are the heroes of their own story. I do love Kefka...but characters that are just evil because they're evil aren't as compelling as someone who makes the hero say "wow, maybe he's right and I'm actually the villain."
There is a difference between kefka and sephiroth:Kefka as a villain was developed more as a villain.We know from star to finish he was greedy ambitious, but there is a difference between leaving to the imagination, and making a villain of the game not obvious due to flaws of story telling, such as sephiroth.Example:You can leave out such details as their plot until the end or even them being a villain as a surprise, but in good story telling, you must explain in the end the circumstances of them turning bad.Example:There is not enough backstory to darth vader turning bad, but in lord of the rings for an example, there is a much clearer explanation as to the villains and a much more believable character development.Sephiroth gets no such clear path of villainry except that he turned bad from reading a book and we don't know anything about him being evil in the past because there is no clear indication of him being bad.You could say he's insane, but insanity and evil aren't the same.There was a woman in real life who killed her children because she was schizophrenic and thought she was hearing the voice of god.
In kefkas case:he maybe simple, but its the fact that he is so reprehensible and his actions are so terrible.He also is developed as a villain very well.he actually gets more dialogue and its very meaningful and philosophical.Sephiroth isn't the one who is philosophical, its the story.
I still think kefka is the best ff villain.His laugh is full of epic and so is his lines
Shadow_Link I agree. "Wait?... Do look like a waiter" by far one of my favorite lines.
It still drives me to tears.
This is hands down, the best final battle in all of FF's history.
Jack Von Bartesby Perhaps one of the best in all gaming history
Simone Rovere Indeed.
You have trash taste, Jesus man...
The best for me is the battle against Neo Exdeath on FFV
@@fgclash454 shut up pussy
Kefka is definitely one of the best villains in fiction. He doesn't have the cliche motive of being bad for badness sake like a Saturday Morning Cartoon bad guy. He's as much a victim of misused power and magic (which was the result of his abnormal and unnatural experimentation infusing people with magic addling his brain and mind) as he is perpetrator of incomprehensible evils. But he does everything because he finds sadistic pleasure using his magical powers like a kid with a magnifying glass burning ants.
He's also meta as heck. Throws the corny, sappy lines about life and love back in the heroes faces by comparing them to chapter titles in a self-help book.
Kefka is certainly not as "meta as heck" as, say, _Undertale's_ Flowey was, but you can't improve upon perfection.
I don't know. I think he was pretty much a classical villain. Self-assured. Self-righteous. A know-it-all. A megalomanic. A personification of almost all the 7 sins (I may leave out slothful, he was pretty active with getting what he wanted). Willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wanted. He wasn't a victim, but a willful personification of darkness and madness.
I learned something here today. You can't go to any Final Fantasy video without seeing a war in the comment section about what game is better than the other. With VII usually being the target because it's popular.
18:05 PERFECT timing. Ooooh that felt good
There's a bit of subtext to Kefka many people miss: When he asks everyone what their reasons for living is, he's actually asking the question to himself. Kefka is the one looking for a reason to live, and when the heroes can't give him an answer that satisfies him he decides then and there to end his life; and he's going to take all of existence with him. This is one of the reasons why the 4th and final movement has a sad section in it, behind all his madness is a resignation to die because that's the only thing left for him to do.
Course this also acts an excuse to why the fight against Kefka is so easy, he stopped growing after he lost meaning and purpose in life (which for the majority of his life was serving the Empire and Gehstal. He stopped growing, but the heroes kept on.
In a weird way, FF6 pulled what Breath of the Wild did with it's Ganon fight decades earlier. You make the final battle easier and easier the more you explored the world: Finding your lost friends, finding new treasures; growing so strong that the final battle is merely a formality.
the music is fucking epic
18:06
Good timing
People nowadays don't understand. In 1994 we expected this from Square and Uematsu. it was a wonderful time to be a gamer.
Dont worry we (or atleast i) understand
i was born in 2001 and i consider this to be one of if not the best boss in all of gaming
@@satanasluciferi7278 I think she means that people could expect a game to be this good in that age. Nowadays, you just pray that the games are released bug-free.
1st Form: Satan
2nd Form: Man
3rd Form: Angels
4th Form: God
its hell , purgatory , heaven , god
Leon Tarek I was so close...
yes u did XD
Adam B-R the second Form use technological attacks like humans.
There are literally zero events resembling Dante's Divine Comedy (Inferno is just the first part) in this fight
This boss fight always blows my mind, I love how instead of cutting the kefkas next form it just ascends to give the feeling that he is slowly becoming a god. Like a sort of metamorphosis, I know he's already a god but still it's really clever.
"metamorphosis"
Heh.
To clear up for people in the comments who are discussing what version this may be. This is a SNES patch called "Stand Guard" which changed some things, the font, spell names and most notably uncensors the graphics that were censored in the US version of the game.
But the woman in the second tier is censored?
kinganarkzie yes. kirby is lying
***** the hacker wasn't able to do so in his hack but I was able to with my version, Final Fantasy VI Ted Woolsey Uncensored Edition.
Im nearly at the end of WoB, if i apply the stand guard patch will i lose my save? Also anyone have a link to stand guard??? Tyty
You shouldn't, but there might be names of things that might be messed up. Also, the Stand Guard patch and Woolsey Uncensored patch shouldn't be compatible with one another.
15:34 - 15:49 = Shivers intensifies
As a guy who's favourite FF is 7 I'll say 6 is the best one. 8 and 9 rock too, But I'd see myself loving this game more if it was the one to come to PS1 back then and be everyone's first JRPG. The character's in this are truly memorable which is crazy considering the vast cast of like 12+ main characters. A wonderful game that even though I truly want an FF7 remake this one deserves it more 10 fold.
I actually bought FF7 for PSP yesterday, but my memory card is too small
Connor Oud
Yeah I think it's just a little over 2GB for the game itself, the saves are 17KB which is nothing though
Renyth No, just over 1GB, I had to delete a documentary to have it fit
I just bought a full ps1 copy for my collection
I wouldn't call FF7 my favorite game ever made. I probably wouldn't even call it my favorite FF game (That's 6. FF7 imo is tied with FF5). The game has too many glitches, a ton of translation issues, some materia combinations can make the game almost too easy, and it has some plot holes.
This Final Boss Theme ALONE Makes This Game Worth To Beat
Decades later, I still get a chill up my spine to finally hear that incredibly ominous opening theme in its proper context here, when Kefka appears for that final showdown.
Finished FF15... Had to watch a real boss now.
Ifrit battle = actual final boss of that game IMO
The Final Boss in FF15 is the most dissappointig boss in FF history...
Nairpyc more that yevon in X?
@WOMANpukumaru same I thought it was fun. Not perfect and could have been longer. But fun
Thought exactly the same thing.
A part of me says they should've remade this instead of Final Fantasy VII.
I wanted a 3D remake of 1 2 5 and 6.
I wanted a 3D remake of 1 2 5 and 6.
ff6 still holds up graphically, it can still be played in this day and age without bleaching your eyes cause of the graphics. FF7 is the first 3D FF game and it shows, plus Cloud is one of is not the most iconic JRPG character so it makes sense. If anything I would hope for a handheld remake like FF4 and Kefka at least being an optional boss in Kindom Hearts 3.
You're not the only one.
Thought square Enix said they had plans to do other FF remakes after 7. That they plan on doing a non-PlayStation FF after FF7 specifically. Would make sense that most likely it would be FF6 due to it's popularity.
The first time I fought Kefka at the end of VI. It was a battle to end all battles. People died, people were replaced. Close calls were met with another round of blood and vigor. Then the curtain raised on the finale and it played out like a masterpiece.
Then on my 3rd or 4th play through I discovered that Genji Glove and the Offering stacked for shit tons of attacks and 2 sets of said attacks kills him (Hitting 9999 each attack of course). The music was still beautiful at least.
Remember, this is from the SNES,
If you forget it, due to it being so amazing.
16:15 Someone, HIRE THIS GENIUS ALREADY!
Today, we fight god with god!
You mean the Meltdown thing? That's literally common sense, buddy... You don't use that spell, unless you can absorb or is immune to Fire.
This game is a masterpiece. Easily the most satisfying victory I've had from beating a game
One thing that bothered me with the GBA version was how (in addition to the soundfonts ruining some of the music eg.Serpent Trench) that they removed the seamless musical transition in this version, between phases of this boss fight, where the loop of the previous part of the track has to finish before it moves on: it just jumps instead.
Not doing 9999 every hit, someone went to fight Kefka a bit to early. Not that you cant beat him before you can easily but such a excellent villain as him makes him deserving you bring your A game.
Despite that impulse, he's still far too easy. A reason I enjoyed the GBA version is it had that super dungeon at the end... If only the SNES version had that dungeon -_-
I prefer to let him put up a fight than kill him in one turn before he even cast goner.
Early is if your characters have below 2000 hp.
ANDD in this episode....our heros face off against.....God...
Yep Like in Xenogears
Just like in xenoblade chronicles
And like final fantasy 13 lightning returns
And ffix, ffxii
Shin Megami Tensei anyone? It did it earlier, and more literally(it wasn't a man that became God, but God itself)
One of the best boss battles in the series.It's so very symbolic.
9ou
Kefka is the better villain than Sephiroth. You're trying to avenge a wounded, dying planet after Kefka molests it with the power of the three goddess statues. Sephiroth has mommy issues and is more concerned with stalking Cloud than fulfilling his plan.
Also, Kefka did it for the lulz.
obscenely exceptional without comparison, the best video game in history
Agreed, well best RPG anyway
The more I learned about the Super Nintendo and its capabilities, the more and more I marvel, appreciate, and admire all of the cutting edge coding and technology that went into this whole experience.
It's a shame this isn't actually even the original SNES port.
@@frozenaorta It says SNES in the title.
@@ReesesBees Oh, you're right. Almost forgot how to read.
Except it's a lie. None of this footage is from the SNES port. I grew up playing that game. This is GBA reels.
@@frozenaorta The GBA isn't able to reproduce sound like this. This is the SNES version without a doubt in my mind. Just look at the opening. That isn't the GBA file select screen. The screen resolution also doesn't match the GBA's profile.
first Final Fantasy game I played, finished few days ago and I love it so much!
I understand that the party is laid out by who's at the top slot, but I find it odd that Shadow, an optional character who only joins halfway through the game, is standing ahead of Terra, who's arguably the main character.
Honestly I wouldn’t say terra isn’t the main character of FF6. The genuis thing about FF6 is that there really isn’t a main character. While terra is the best contender for main protagonist, she isn’t even required to take on kefka.
I love how when Kefka used goner(forsaken) it synced perfectly with the music.
Ladies and gentlemen.. please, a f-ning round of applause for Nobuo Uematsu 🫡
👏👏👏👏
Kefka...the one villain who had completed his goal, but bitterly realized that from the very beginning, he has already failed his true goal.
Not true. He could have easily finished it all off and beyond.
Such an epic battle. Imagine how it would look remade on the PS5...Take my money!
Just beautfiul this music....... after so many years still awesome. This game is the proud in the historical developement of japanese role-playing games. So much RPG with so limited and outdated technology. That's a masterpiece. Relm Arrowny was always one of my favourite characters. Her personal cute attitudes and the typical childish behaviors were unforgetable. I always had to laugh or to cry with her interactions. There's no doubt, FFVI is one of the best role-playing games ever made and truly the best FF game. Thanks for upload!
The music is godly, Kefka pretty much accepts his fate and you see your entire party struggling against this evil and wont quit till it's gone. Just Don't make them like they used to, the fact that they had to use 2D graphics to portray the story and characters just makes it more of an artful masterpiece than anything else. Squaresoft actually gave a shit back then.
que gran batalla
15:18 when the class clown gets promoted to be the line leader
I can totally feel how One Winged Angel from VII was inspired by Dancing Mad. And fighting a god like figure as the final boss, when you think about it, Sephiroth legit plagiarized Kefka's final fight, and became MORE popular for it.
The song before facing Kefka as the boss reminded me of the song before facing giygas in Earthbound.
It's definitely got the same eerie feel to it.
I really want to know what it's called
I think its just referred to as "Giygas's theme" though I'm not certain. I know the one you mean, just before you fight heavily armed pokey
Yea true
Kefka is like... you know... the Joker of the Final Fantasy serie... a clown who isn't interested in anything but destruction, death and mayhem because well you know...
...some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
+Chewwy He's like the Joker, but actually done right.
***** Actually, I was being charitable when I called him a character. Primarily because he barely is one.
He's a character with no believable motive, no canon background and basically no real personality. DC just says "He's crazy, we don't have to explain it".
***** A lot of people, to be fair, think the background presented in The Killing Joke is canon. It actually isn't. I might like him a tad more if it were.
You know who's the "crazy, evil counter part" done right? Eobard Thawne.
***** I love their depiction of Eobard Thawne in The Flash tv show.
Joker is consistently the top comic villian in most if not all top 10s, hes clearly a fleshed out character and this guy is clearly jealous and wont accept it
18:09 i like how kefka laught before he throw Goner,its like he is getting ready for do the strongest attack,combined whit the perfect timing of the music when the goner animation start's
that was perfect
Why does Kefka look normal when hes talking then hes an angel all of a sudden when they fight him?
And where are gogo and umaro? Noob
1. The entire final battle is a parody of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Phase 3 is Hell, phase 2 is purgatory, phase 3 is heaven, and finally God above all of them. All of it is littered with Kefka inspiration. You’re fighting him and his ego.
2. There are 14 playable characters, but you can only bring 12 of them to the end.
Kefka literally got usurped by Sephiroth ONLY because of graphics.
There’s no other way to explain it.
Kefka was never upstaged by some emo boy who had mommy issues, Kefka had no time to deal with a guy like that.He had bigger fish to fry, like destroying the world, no motivation behind it, he just wanted to watch the world burn because he could.

I came here after I heard the whole musical piece that is Dancing Mad, and I just had to see the fight that went along with the theme. This was some real magnificence here
18:09 the Kefka laugh happened at the best possible time.
15:25 Reminds me of the battle with safer sephiroth. His appearance and the way he enters the battle from the sky even the music is similar.
you mean the battle with safer sephiroth is similar to kefka's right
@@Glasyara well some people didn’t grow up with 6 first so…
Japanese rpg be like:
First enemies: small animals, stupid goblins and useless creatures
Last enemies in the late game: angels, demons, galaxy and biblics monsters
*"The end comes … beyond chaos"*
15:50 You know he means business when he laughs 4 times in overlapping succession.
you do realize kefka is the only one who destroyed the world in ff series
+xiba ware Sephiroth disliked this comment.
Garland did it first
Garland's plans and effects were never really explored or explained, FF1 and the systems it was on didn't offer a ton of exposition in really any direction. I think Garland destroyed time though, not the world.
Kuja destroyed a world.
Ultimecia in FFVII almost destroys Time & Space
The mistake I made this time is grinding.
Should've sticked with my level 40-50 characters instead.
Killed Kefka and the tower in less than 10 minutes.
Which is a shame really, the music and the ambience is so memorable.
Lol wtf. I had to grind to get to 40ish
Terra Branford As Scarlet Alvizo August 20th
the music of this boss fight is freakin legendary
The timing of Kefkas laugh in dancing mad as he casts Goner makes this already epic battle even greater, great vid
I only read a few comments but as far as I can tell you either were way to prepared or you were under prepared for the fight. The twelve I took to the tower we're almost lv. 60 and I think all of them had Ultima. Gotta love the paladin shield.
If this boss were to get reworked, I'd have him scale to the players similar to what ff8 tried to do but even though I was overleveled, the entire gauntlet of bosses still had a few tricks up their sleeves that KO'd my party members occasionally, typically by Doom effects. The only reason I would want Kefka to change is I was able to beat him before his first attack. Why? Because I must be a try hard because I got Cyan's speed up to 40 with 82 vigor and he had access to the quick spell and Quadra Slice. My cyan straight up deleted half his health in the first 3 seconds of the fight.
Kefka is much better than Sephiroth!!

FFVII: "Cool music. Love it"
FFVI: "FfVi iS mUcH BeTtEr"
really, are ffvi fans so insecure that they feel the need to trash talk about ffvii
@@championofgods spotted the 7 fanboy
championofgods I gotta be honest I don’t see anything good in FFVI it was a bizarre game that I felt like there shouldn’t be a remake comparing to VII that was one of the biggest FF games created by Square and the gameplay was way too long I felt like they made the right decision to remake the game
0:37 sonic.exe laugh the original laugh was from this game
Though FFVI isn't my favorite game, this is definitely my favorite final boss ever. Everything about this battle is EPIC as fuck. And killing a nihilist is always good fun.
I am a nihilist 💔
@PaleApathy ironic for you to be here considering this is a game full of symbolism and meaning.
18:38 Kefka: " I don't feel so good"
Infinity stones = Magicte
Every time I read Kefka’s dialogues I think, “Who hurt you, boo?!”
Cid, Cid hurt him with experimental magic transference.
@@Peter-hx3im true. 😅
I love at 3:13 how kefka starts casually playing as everything gets blown up
also, remember how tellah gave his life to cast meteor? 8:43
Sephiroth didn't actually destroy any universes, as it was just a spell effect showing it, but nothing was destroyed.
What I don't like is:This biased that Kefka being a joke when he is a god.He gets treated like shit even when he is a god, and sephiroth gets his dick sucked while other villains are ignored, because square part of enix wants to make cash.
It's not like they are trying to make palomecia more compelling as a villain, or doing much with xdeath are they?
This is the best game ever made.
+Alice F I once thought I am one of it's role.So kid...
Alice I think I love you...where all the fine women who are into classic rpgs...diamond in the ruff.
thats your opinion i guess this is a realy good JRPG classic with amazing songs to it
modern kids today prefer Undertale, i like Undertale too though but i prefer the old stuff.
Nah nah nah that's fact.
Amen.

You just proved his point, asshole.
What does this mean? Omg
GONER IN 3D REMAKE and my life is complete.

Fighting Kefka again in FF XIV was amazing. Great villain!
If you are an aspiring game developer you should look at this boss fight if you want to make a great RPG boss. I'm a big fan of RPGs and looking at this boss it is fantastic Persona 3 final boss is great too. Even Persona 4's I don't care what people say about necron from Final Fantasy 9 he's still a great boss even though he comes out of nowhere. Ansem from Kingdom Hearts is a great boss so is xemnas from Kingdom Hearts 2. The final boss from Chrono Trigger is great. The final boss in Dark Souls 3 is amazing. The boss fight is the main reason you slog through a game that demands grinding and dedication to the story at Large. Also they reinforce the story because the boss is the barrier that prevents you from seeing the rest of the story unless you defeat it. another aspect I think that makes a boss great is a great music track that plays in the background to reinforce what's happening on the screen. Dancing mad is a beautiful song. there's some great music tracks in Shadow of the Colossus as well. sometimes I will buy an RPG just for the music that's what I got Chrono Trigger for.
You're very right
Tower of the Gods Boss List
Tier 1:
Visage [HP30000]
Long Arm [HP33000]
Short Arm [HP27000]
Tier 2:
Tiger [HP30000]
Machine [HP24000]
Power [HP28000]
Magic [HP41000]
Tier 3:
Rest [HP40000]
Lady [HP9999]
Tier 4:
Kefka [HP62000]
All in all, that's almost 325000 HP for this boss gauntlet.
And to all people who say that giving Kefka 62000 HP is a crime is truly overestimating the processing power of the SNES, which can only take in 16-bit unsigned integers, whose values can range anywhere from 0 to 65535 (65536 just loops back around to 0).
Tell me what the difference would be if Kefka started out with 3536 more HP than he has been given!
The answer would be absolutely nothing because Ultima always deals 9999 damage
Everything about this is truly a work of art and has already been praised as such, but I'd like to bring up one of the smaller details that makes me cream EVERY time I fight this boss:
That goddamn DELAY between your final hit and when the boss does its signature double **CRACK** before melting away as all bosses do. It's just the right amount of time for you to wonder... "wait... did... did I get him?" ..... ...CRACK - "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
This is probably the best ending to any game that has and will be made. There's just no comparison.
Ahhh si, final fantasy ost y el suplex contra los trenes 😊
