I got into an argument with an FF6 guy one time for commenting on an old youtube account of mine. Let me get that argument....
This all started when I made a top final fantasy villains list. Kefka was number 2, Sephiroth was number 1. A bit later a second guy joins in to bash me...
That guy
" How you put Sephiroth at #1 is so ridiculous. What is his real motivation? The guy has no real personality. Do we know his dreams? Do we know his conviction? Do his actions make a statement that force the characters in the story to truly think of their lives, their strengths? How does Sephiroth do anything but bring out the emo in Cloud? He's weak, and the only reason you kids love him is because it was the first 3d RPG you ever played. It's pathetic. "
Me
"I asked that you do not bash my opinion. So therefore I shall make a counterpoint. If you look into the game more you will notice that you don't see sephiroth till your visit to the northern crater. You are pursuing Jenova disguised as sephiroth. Jenova is the emotionless one. Also, sephiroth makes cloud remember why he is fighting. Get over yourself and quit commenting. "
That Guy
"Feel free to disable comments like the others who cannot defend their positions if the existence of other human beings annoys you so much. You have an emotionless enemy without any real motivation other than being "the big bad". Sephiroth being a partial male love interest with silver hair who is as exotic to the player as he is Cloud due to his APPEARANCE alone. Little is known about him or why he or Jenova are what they are, beyond merely being evil. Sorry, the truth sucks."
Me
"Sorry, but I can defend my position, try playing Crisis Core.
So what is kefka... I have no background on him. I just know he is mad due to an experiment gone wrong. What can you say about him before hand? I can say plenty about Sephiroth..."
At this point the first guy stops posting because he knows he has been beaten. I did not disable comments nor did I block him. So, a second guy decides to start joining in...
2nd Guy
"Play FF6 then, Kefka ENDS THE WORLD nuff said"
Me
" Ok I have played FF6... why else would I put a final boss on here if I didn't play it...
Kefka didn't end the world... he just ruined it. There was just a BANG and it was over. The people didn't really expect it unless you count the floating continent as a flag-raiser. With Sephiroth the people knew it was coming to an end and had to sit and suffer for it. Many lived out their dreams or did other things before it ended. Luckily the planet protected itself"
2nd Guy
"In FF7 the planet protected itself, in FF6 the planet became the world of ruin. FF7 The people recovered from it hence the whole Advent Children, DoC and the 500 years later scene. In FF6 almost all the people were killed, giant ass monsters covered the planet and all magic was destroyed when Kefka was killed. Kefka ended the world. That planet that FF6 takes place on doesn't recover in 500 years like 7's world does. It at least had to take 2000 plus years. So yea."
Me
"because you know it took exactly 2000 plus years..."
2nd Guy
"It's a rough esteem"
Me
"you mean estimate... Sorry, but if you want to really take into account it would probably take 10-20 years, no more than 40.
You are just mad that my opinion differs from yours."
I think I did FF7 justice. If you want the actual argument, I can link you.
