Kefka's theme can also be heard slightly referenced in Troops March On, which I think is awesome how it's a melding of Kefka's theme and Gestahl's theme
Oh my gosh, this video literally had me in tears. I friken LOVE this game. Great vid, too! Best analysis of the game. I never even THOUGHT about the music angle.
Wow what an amazing video, you touched on so many great parts of the game. You have amazing taste holy shit. God this game is so good it’s crazy. I mean what an absolute masterpiece. Like Jesus fuck bro. So fucking good.
Great video! This is by far one of my favorite pieces of analysis on Final Fantasy 6. I enjoy how you highlight it's complexities and it's mastering of visual, interactive and musical storytelling. Keep up the good work! You got yourself a subscriber!
Hey there, hope you enjoyed the video! Did you know I’m making a game? You can check it out and add to your wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/2535370/Tyrants_Twilight/
Kefka is 35 years old, is mage of the court and right arm of the Emperor (since it does the dirty work for the latter that surely refuses Leo or Celes). We know nothing of his past except (via a book on FF6) he was abandoned as a child and he volunteered to make the first experience Magitek very young, and that it broke his mind. We can not know if he was a good person like Celes or a complete rotten from the start. But such a vision of the world is not built by itself: there must have been something for it to come to this nihilistic view of things: Dissidia when Kefka Speaks by resuming his sentence of FF6, the tone he gives is sad, desperate, then enraged: His makeup is not anondin either: The Red symbolizes Anger and danger in Japan, green is symbol of Deception but also Envy, jealousy and Energy (Ce which suits well with his angry character). Green is technically proscribed with purple, except Kefka wears and becomes purple thereafter (notably Dissidia): it is a color of mourning, death, and green then takes on a very morbid meaning: It symbolizes loneliness, melancholy and remorse (suicide?). So we can ask ourselves and ask a lot of questions about what Kefka used to be, because we do not become a genocidal murderer so, his craziness is structured enough to allow him to have long or even very long-term plans, despite his character. angry and unstable .... he seems permanently angry: he treats Leo with idiots, his soldiers, everyone, as if he had a complex of inferiority .... we know that he started to become eccentric after the experiment, but various elements point to a kind of sadness, acceptance, programmed suicide: I always had the impression that Kefka wanted to die, but not alone, he wanted to take everything with him, possibly to the more the being .... and to make others feel what he probably must have felt for years .... he becomes a God, but he seems to experience only trouble and disillusion .... he says it : he was waiting for the heroes, we have the impression that he plays a game morbid, and it is he who launches the comb if we look carefully .... Terra tries to dissuade him, to make him understand that he is wrong: despite the ruin, destruction and death, he has failed, he is always alone, people continue to have hope .... Kefka then expresses his tirade on dreams, hope and love, but the tone given in Dissidia, sound as if he had known that and it was torn off, becoming incapable of find its way, an end to its existence and living a permanent suffering: It is also noteworthy that on Kefka tower, the second boss has a woman, dressed in red whose face is leaning back, attached: the red is a sign of anger, as already said in Japan, except this person is surrounded by personifications of Kefka ....Sorry for my english
I was lucky enough to have gotten FFVI(3) when it came out (choosing good games was much harder back then) and I've been waiting ever since for something to be a better gaming experience for me. To this day, it still has the best characters and character arcs, music, plot twist, villain, and ending, imo. I love how there is real 'main' character...I can't think of a game that has done this better than FF6. As far as I'm aware, it also did a number of new things in a game that had not been done before, including mixing story driven and open world gameplay and using dreams and flashbacks to tell parts of the story, plus I think the way you could customize preset class based characters was a new thing. Great job analyzing it.
Kefka pallazzo bares similar themes to charlie chaplin’s “nonsense song” in one of the first movies thats part silent & part actually is switching over to you can near it! Also “nonsense” is what kefka is doing…..
I hope if they ever remake this game they go for a Octopath Traveler artstyle instead of the FFVIIR route. Any changes towards gameplay that aren't balancing and fixing bugs would be a disaster imo
Thanks for this deep reflection on one of the best games ever! You mentioned that Final Fantasy games reflect a typically Japanese idea of a group of friends killing a god. Is there evidence for your claim? DO lots of traditional Japanese stories/epics contain this idea? It's a new thought for me. Finally, I suggest you put the word "leitmotif" on the screen when you use it. I spend a few minutes in the first section thinking that you were talking about "light motifs"!
Of the top of my head I remember FFIV, Tales of Symphonia and Persona 3 as some examples of a group of friends killing a god-like entity. Maybe I'm exagerating, but I feel like I heard other people agreeing with the idea of it being a JRPG cliche to a certain degree,
It’s me again. Thanks again for an amazing video. I’m on my 31st play through of this game rn!
A great video, you truly understand this game better than most. I’ll see you again in 2 weeks

I grew up playing this game so therefore I've bought and played every iteration of it. And of course, I've beaten it over like twenty or so times.

Also “nonsense” is what kefka is doing…..
Kids run through the city also sounds a LOT like “will you still love me tomorrow? By the shirrelles.
Love you
Awesome video!
Ihu!!! Parabéns!
FF Vi is the best game ever made
I want them to remake this game so much.
I hope if they ever remake this game they go for a Octopath Traveler artstyle instead of the FFVIIR route. Any changes towards gameplay that aren't balancing and fixing bugs would be a disaster imo
I'd be afraid if they remade this game lol. Look what happened to the steam version...
@@gameoverture why not a part 2
amazing man! keep it up!
I love ff6
Hey man, you can't just through Cele's suicide at me so casually, now I'm crying again :'(

FF6 is 10/10

It's by far my favorite FF, maybe my favorite JRPG period
Yes.
Great video, I watch it when I get high
We love you overture! Make love to us overture, please!
