Hails from: Final Fantasy VI, in which he is less creepy. At least, I think so.

Villain type: Fashion-blind
Story
The mad clown that scared most people who played FFVI is back, looking about a hundred times more terrifying. The insane Kefka takes perverse joy in wreaking mayhem, and it's no different in Dissidia. Most of his machinations involve getting Terra to join their side, though of course he fails in the end. Not without terrifying the player, of course.
Thoughts
Kefka is my personal favorite FF villain (and possibly my all-time favorite villain). That said, even I, a fan of Kefka, find his Dissidia appearance downright scary, reinforced by his antics throughout the game. Let's just say he was easier to like in 2D form... Even so, I definitely get a kick out of watching him skip around the battlefield and his hilarious motions after he makes an attack. I am also thrilled he looks so awesome in his EX Mode (Light of Judgment ftw!). That and his victory pose honestly made me burst out laughing. Oh, Kefka. ♥ I am disappointed "Dancing Mad" was not his battle music, but at least it's an unlockable track.
Gameplay
No matter what he looks like, you can't deny Kefka is powerful. His attacks are erratic but deadly, and his HP Attack Havoc Wing can do a ton of damage if you're not watching his Brave Points. As with all magicians, it's best to use his big attacks as an opening.
