ONLY THE ORCHESTRATED VERSION
Could Shinra beat up the Kefka you fight at the end of the game? Probably not with ground troops. The Sister Ray might be able to do it, though. However, the spells that Gestahl was using would have been easily shrugged off by Shinra's heavy hardware, considering that even summoning Bahamut won't get rid of the Turks in one round. Ultima does considerably more damage in VI than any summon you can call forth. Merton is slightly weaker than Ultima. Gestahl reasonably expected to fry Kefka with it halfway through, while in VII, using Ultima on the Turks when you fight them around the halfway point won't get rid of them. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Turks would utterly wipe out Kefka in his human form. Hell, even Palmer had a gun that shot second-level spells. Two or three of those can generally equal a third-level spell in power.
Alright I dunno how well the spell comparisons are since Magic is so downplayed in VII, but let's split the difference then...how about compared to the damage that Leo was dealing out w/Shock & the almighty Gengi Glove+Offering (not to mention w/e sword he had...what was it anyway? i don't remember) combo? That was round after round and in the end Leo was just, like, hitting his shadow. Kefka pwnt Leo.
Destroying the planet would have been a pretty good way to beat hope.
That just destroys life not the hope that they had really. He wanted it so that the living could not hope. His aspirations were lofty and at the same time completely nutso. I mean, he pwnt town after town and he just couldn't understand how people kept rebuilding. He wanted to stop that.
god n. 1. One of the various beings, usu. male, in mythology, primitive religions, etc., conceived of as immortal, as embodying a particular quality or having special powers over some phase of life. 2. A statue, image, or symbol of such a being. 3. Any person or thing much loved.
So, you see? While a god
can be an immortal thing, it doesn't have to be. Some myth, religions, what-have-you have immortal gods, some do not. I mean, like Sentenal said, in Norse mythos the gods die. And heck, just look at some of the names in the Final Fantasy series. Ragnarok anyone?
Also, Kuja was just a sad first born who was upset that the new baby got so much attention.
Total whiner.
"I'm not happy! So I'm going to take it out on the world by destroying everything! Boohoo!"
Heh heh, jk I dunno how accurate that is...It's been a while since I played FFIX and the end parts are fuzzy...
