The Last Words of Kefka from FFVI: The Most Evil Villain Ever
KEFKA: I will exterminate everyone, and everything!
TERRA: People will keep rebuilding the things you take from them.
KEFKA: Then I’ll destroy those too. Why do people rebuild things they know are going to be destroyed? Why do people cling to life when they know they can’t live forever? Think how meaningless each of your lives is!
TERRA: It’s not the net result of one’s life that is important. It’s the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life…and love! It’s enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring!
KEFKA: And have you found your “joy”, in this nearly dead world of ours?
ALL-CHARACTERS: Yes! (As each recounts their personal progression throughout the game)
KEFKA: This is sickening… You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet! Prepare yourselves! Now, for my next trick, I will make you all…disappear! I will destroy everything… I will create a monument to non-existence!
TERRA: Life will go on, there will always be people, and dreams.
KEFKA: No! I will hunt them down. I will destroy it all! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!!
LOCKE: We will not allow you to harm another living thing.
KEFKA: Hee, hee, hee!! But what fun is destruction if no “precious” lives are lost!
