Son of a submariner!
Isn't this supposed to be coming to PS4 when it's done? I could've sworn that I heard that somewhere.

Only 5 years left until they finish adding the characters that were already featured in the previous two games!
He looks great though. FF6 remake for the NX confirmed?

We still have yet to hear a remix of Dancing Mad that even manages to comes close to the original.

Ha ha, love when he runs across he snowfield at the beginning. Also, this again makes me want a FF VI Remake.

They decided to skip the order of the games now? I thought they'd follow the same scheme as the heroes releases.
Why'd you stop at like?
You mean the joker.
Oh ok, I had not heard that. I guess it would be easier to earn anything worldwide if it's not limited to arcades.
Is it port begging to wonder when the console version is coming? If there is one coming?
Kefka shares the same voice as Buggy (Shigeru Chiba), hence the comment.
But yeah in terms of personality, he is closer to Hisoka.

Yeah. I've never been a big fan of Kefka. He's pretty much a magic version of the Joker, minus a Batman foil.
There should be after it has it's run at the arcades, iirc it is running on PS4-ish (?) hardware and even uses PS symbols for controls in the arcade version.
Nice! Can't wait for that announcement.
The prototype box used PS symbols but the final version changed to I,II,III,IV symbols.
Well the heroes weren't revealed in order either. We had VII, III, XIV, I, XIII and VI as the initial reveals. But it doesn't surprise meto be honest. Can't imagine having The Emperor and Cloud of Darkness back to back would get that many people back to the arcades to play.
I like Kefka, but yeah, I'm with you. He's off brand Magic Joker who gets a touch too much credit for one big event in FF6 considering he didn't do much of the heavy lifting for that event.
Does The Black Mages rendition count as a remix?

Sounds exactly like buggy, which is probably appropriate, but a bit jarring.
So much wrong here.
Ah, thanks.
True. Not really a pure Dancing Mad arrangement, but I really liked the Dancing Mad + One Winged Angel mashup in the Tokyo Version of Symphonic Fantasies!

Wait, you seriously questioning whether or not there's a gigantic Joker influence in Kefka?
Noctis seems like a lock to be added next year. They won't want to spoil his abilities before XV releases.
Not questioning an influence, but I've never thought to compare them. Maybe the clown appearance is bringing that on for people.
It's also the other stuff. That event when he rises in power is pretty crazy. I'll always remember that scene where he basically kills all the espers in one go.
Batman is one thing, but as far as jrpgs go, he's one of the best villains, at least up to that point in console storytelling.
I guess considering the delay in character releases, they needed someone more popular than Emperor Mateus to make up for it, and Sephirot is someone they're likely to leave closer to the console release. Garland still had to be first, series history carries some weight.

I despise the Black Mages version
It started out chaotic af, but when they merged Tier 2 of Dancing Mad with the "Veni Veni Venias" part, that was heaven.
I'm thinking we'll see Sephiroth early next year. Tie him in with the beginning of the FFVII 20th anniversary celebrations.

new characters pleaseeeee
They didn't say it was coming on PS4, they said they are using a modified PS4 for the arcades.
But I don't doubt it'll come, once all the main characters are released so in ~2020 since they release a character every 3/4 months.
It's been a new character every 2 months so far. We still have Emperor, CoD, Golbez, Exdeath, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Kuja, Jecht, Gabranth and Gilgamesh for villains. And then we still have Kain, Tifa, Laguna, Yuna and Prishe for heroes.15 more characters still just to get all the veterans (excluding Feral Chaos) back. But we have to account for newcomers getting added in between veterans too.
Man, I think the reason why I liked him so much when FFVI was originally released was because I didn't see him in 3D acting like this. Takes the whole goofiness way too far in my opinion. I never thought of him like that. And Japanese voice acting always sounds way over dramatic to me. Silly to my ears.
Still the best FF villain though.

It's interesting to compare Kefka at his peak in power and the Joker at hispeakspeaks (Endgame, Emperor, etc.) to see the differences. The Joker is all about insanity and creating madness with his power, corrupting others. Kefka is all about pure destruction and making people's lives miserable and worthless.
