And now, the prelude to the final battle. Everyone is assembled.

It's your ol' Uncle Kefka. Probably. But just to make sure, I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit.

And it's Kefka. Good thing, too, as Matlock's not real. Neither are Grampas' teeth, but he can still eat corn on the cob if someone cuts it off and mashes it into a fine paste.

Does it matter who asked that? Probably. But the programmers felt like making it ambiguous like half of the lines in the World of Ruin.

Preparing a light of judgment?

No, he's just using the Force to pick up Terra. I've seen a Reptite use that one.

He picks up Locke as well and never thinks to slam them in to each other a couple of times.

His ultimate power also makes the sky change colors. Anyway, Destrution himself said that nothing new can be created without the old being destroyed.

The transience of our lives is what gives it meaning. If we lived forever, we'd probably lead a very dull existence.

Say what you will about Seymour, at least he had an ethos, man.

Good thing Terra's the only one there, else I'd have to rag on the "lack of a character name" thing again.

See. A victory against nihilism.

Someone said that some artwork for Kefka made him look like a Krazy Kefka Kake by Little Debbie. Yeah, those would sell.

Someone else thinks he looks like broccoli.

I missed these, but they'd just be some redundant screenshots.
Locke: And I have learned to celebrate life...and the living.
Cyan: My family lives on inside of me.
Shadow: I know what friendship is... and family...
Edgar: It is my dream to build a kingdom in which I can guarantee freedom, and dignity.
Sabin: I have come to experience anew the love of my brother!

For blood is thicker than bread and water! Well, maybe not with bread in it.

She means Locke.

You know something? They were rearranged. Locke was over near Celes, prompting Terra to think something like "You've got to be kidding me, I mean, that's so sweet, I mean, thassh shoooo schwweeeeeeeet"

If Mog was here, he'd say "I have my friends here!"

Setzer says: My friend's airship... and her love!

That's our Gau. You know, unlike some bosses, there's little to discuss in the realm of Things Kefka Looks Like. Some things like Little Debbie Krazy Kefka Kakes are funny, other things like broccoli are funny, some things are terrible and I'd have to give them some lolcats to caption.

Cue Kefka's theme music and a great line.

He's going to destroy the ocean. He's a mad man! A MAD MAN!

What did I tell you?

He then delivers a stirring sermon from his mountain of garbage.

Terra rises up and Kefka claims he'll destroy them. You know, she's awfully active in this scene for a character who isn't even mandatory.

It's not enough to reduce the world to a wreck of its former self.

Again with the non-mandatory characters delivering all the lines. Again with the Bush Doctrine as well. Anyway, select a character order in which to fight Kefka.

By the way, I hope you made preparations before the battle. You got an excalibur from Goddess, which is pearl-elemental, you have the Fixed Dice - Offering combo to kick Kefka's ass until your foot hurts from kicking ass so much with your foot if you roll that way, you have the Atma weapon, you have Ragnarok, you have force shields and aegis shields and such.
