@sayomgwtf Huh, neat! Earlier today I was rewatching the final confrontation with Kefka, and it struck me how life-affirming that game is.

Kefka's point is that life has no meaning, so he will end all life and end the cycle of meaningless suffering. But Terra counters his nihilism saying that meaning can be found in the beauty that each day has to offer, and that the bonds we share with the ones we love are enough to make life worth living.

It's a wonderful sentiment that's stuck with me.

@Legit_Spaghetti I think it captures it beautifully, I do think this character is one a kind for sure

@sayomgwtf @Legit_Spaghetti eh, Kefka’s uniqueness is mostly his personal style and his success in breaking the world. Final bosses of Final Fantasy 4–9, at least, were all omnicidal maniacs of one stripe or another. Heck, FFV’s was literally named Exdeath.

@IslandUsurper @Legit_Spaghetti You are right, they were all kind of crazy 😅

@sayomgwtf One of the most twisted villains a video game could have. And also one of the best.

@radio_alergy Absolutely, I always thought he was something special

@sayomgwtf I wish he was in more stuff. But his appearance in FFXIV is amazing! True fan service level stuff.

@radio_alergy I never played FFXIV 😭

@sayomgwtf Oh! It's a great game. Even though it is a MMO, you can totally play it single player. It has some great references to other Final Fantasy games, and also has a great story too!

@radio_alergy I kinda miss FF games

@sayomgwtf I personally have been meaning to go through them again. I got the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on Switch and also the Dragon Quest I-III games too. Been meaning to get back into JRPGS.

@radio_alergy The last JRPG I played was Earthbound a couple of years ago

And damn, that game is so good

I got to play it when I was a kid, but I didn't finish it back then
