Kefka from Final Fantasy 6: Confirmed as autistic

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know about him being autistic, but Kefka was definately the most sucessful villian in the FF series. Other FF villians have tried to destroy the world, Sephiroth and Sin/Jecht being prominent among these, but Kefka actually succeded in wiping out at least 66% of the world in FFVI before being defeated. And for those who have read the book of Revelations, Kefka actually tops the Trumpeters of Judgement Day, because they only destroyed 1/3 of the world at a time. Kefka is one hell of a villain.

Now thats just insulting :lol:

We aren't psychotic clowns!

I wouldn't say he autistic because many of his traits aren't very autistic.The famous sands on his boots seen to imply either a display of power or he is egotistical obsession with his self image and I know many autistic who don't care about how they look to themselves or others as long as they are comfortable.Also his narcissism because I have yet to meet an autistic who was also a narcissist.I am wondering if by autistic tendencies they meant anti-social behavior which is also seen in thing other and far worse than autism that make more sense for his character.

No he isn't. according to the game the reason Kefka is the way he is because of a failed Magitek experiment that caused something in his head to snap resulting him going crazy.

You know how some autists like to touch objects and keep rearranging them until they're satisfied, or otherwise they'll throw a tantrum? Maybe that's why Kefka was misaligning the Warring Triad on the Floating Continent! Nah, jkimm1 is correct - Kefka got infused with too much magic during a flawed Magitek experiment, and it made him go mental.

No way, Kefka got his personality due to being the first test subjected to be tested for magic also his personality is loud, short-tempered, maniacal, flamboyant and destructive. He also sociopathic hatred of virtually everything in existence and has a sense of dark humour. These arent autistic traits at all.

I say he's narcissistic and sociopathic.

He is one of the best villians in gaming overall. Autistic NO! Sociopath YES! As someone else compared him to the Joker I totally agree. I heard they got the idea of Kefka from him somewhere if I'm not mistaken. (perhaps wrong.) He's not on the spectrum.

I wouldn't go that far. I think Sephiroth is the better villain than Kefka. How many villains do you know that you have to fight three times. and no matter how many times you try to kill him he comes back. There is something cool when Cloud fights the last remant in Advent Children. the remant becomes Sephiroth and then they fight within the Shinra Building. Sephiroth uses his long sword to tear pieces of the building apart and haves them fall on Cloud. But at the end Cloud remembers all the people from his past and present. He uses Omnislash Ver.2 to kill Sephiroth.

Actually, that's fairly frequent with bosses. Kefka you had to fight at least three times and he kept coming back for more.

Plus, Kefka technically succeeded in his plan to destroy the world by the halfway point of the game. Complete destruction was averted, so Kefka decided that he'd just be the new king of the world, and blasted the crap out of cities because he was bored.
