Lorewise what would happen if the crew didn't fight Kefka during the last 3rd of the game?I mean is Kefka still a threat? He's just chillin' in his tower iirc.
He probably eventually kills everyone with his light of judgment
>>12809980Of course he's still a threat. He literally strikes Tzen while you're passing by just because, and he destroys Mobliz offscreen as well. And it's implied he deliberately does this to keep everyone in perpetual fear and despair, as well as to make examples out of anyone who dares resist. He could strike at any time, and there's nothing anyone could do about it. That's plenty reason for the party to reunite and go fight him.
>>12809980Literally we see green return to the earth within the hour that Kefka dies. If not the strikes, he'd have starved everyone for fun. Clown needed to go down.
>>12809980>Lorewise what would happen if the crew didn't fight Kefka during the last 3rd of the game?he would sit atop his tower admiring the desolation going RAWR im so evil!!!1 xDDDDD
all life would have went extinctwhat kefka did to the warring triad caused such a severe imbalance of magical power that no new life could grow, no crops, no animals, no new babies (see kataryn and dwayne), eventually the world would just be a barren rock like mars
>>12810058>>12810197>>12810269OK but... What if OP had a valid point?
>>12810270OP...
>>12809980literally the only thing stopping him from annihilating all life on the planet is he hasn't gotten bored yet.

I do wanna say I wish Kefka got involved more often during the WoR, striking more towns when you least expect it or sending his minions after you. The only one of his servants you fight outside of his tower is the MagiMaster. Everything else is just random monsters and legendary beasts.
>>12810720They added WoR mid-development when they realized they had a lot more romspace, just like the Zelda 2nd quest. Considering a lot of fans consider it the better half of the game, it's amazing it turned out as well as it did.
>>12810720It'd be nice I suppose but the game is really more about finding your party at that point and once you do or feel ready you can go straight to him any time you want. I suppose they could have peppered in more events as you go but the non linear approach was still pretty novel.
Why did Celes never have to atone for torching Maranda?
>>12811192Only good Marandan is a dead Marandan.
>>12810720To be fair, the magimaster wasn't even sent after you by kefka, it was more you were stealing Kefka's shit and he was on guard duty.
>>12811192Celes cuteKefka clown
>>12810058>And it's implied he deliberately does this to keep everyone in perpetual fear and despairEven though they continue to rebuild and survive out of sheer refusal to give in to Kefka's omnipotent bullying. When the party tells him that at the end, he completely loses it and rants that he's going to destroy everything at once just to show them.
>>12811192There's some aspects about the plot and the characters that the game just straight up kind of forgets about or doesn't touch upon, either due to lack of time or poor writing. Cid was also responsible for a lot of horrible shit but nobody ever calls him out. As it is, the game basically implies you're cool despite whatever you did in the past so long as you come over to the good side and/or realize the errors of your ways.
>>12811867Yeah. That's why I prefer 4.
He seemed nihilistically suicidal so he would have probably just gotten tired of it, wiped everyone out then offed himself
>>12811867What did Cid specifically do? It also helps that the very first time you meet him he helps you escape and admits that he doesn't agree with Kefka/Gestahl.
>>12812738Cid was instrumental in creating Magitek, which was achieved via the torturous process of forcefully extracting Magic power out of live Espers, a process which they were apparently subjected to for nearly two decades, and said Magitek power went on to power the Empire's brutal conquests. He could've objected or quit at any time if he felt so strongly about what was being done, but he didn't do jack shit for some reason until the party comes along. It's a weird about face he does seemingly out of nowhere, and again, no one seems to decry him for it.
>>12812868Like many scientists, he was probably held under duress. Makes more sense when you consider the tyrannical, genocidal nature of the regime he worked for. That's not to say scientists should have a Get Out Of Jail Free card, but he wasn't exactly attending CERN satanic rituals.
>>12811192What exactly do you think she should have done?
