Ask Kefka Palazzo

Welcome to my barbecue!  Or my ask blog.  Whatever, phooey.  Anyway, ask me questions and I'll maybe answer them.  Or set fire to your hamlet.  Whichever seems more fun.  Maybe both.

For the last TIME! It’s not makeup, it’s my FACE! What, would you rather I didn’t HAVE A FACE? Just BONES instead??

Actually… that could be interesting…

So I showed a person I've been playing xiv with your blog and they have been yelling that Kefka should have muscles. I think hes a twink clown. Thoughts???

An interesting question, let's take a look.

Now, the sprites are hard to go by, most sprites look the same, kind of top-heavy, scrawny type legs, it was best they could do, really. A lot of images take the top-heaviness to be cloaks and fabric:

The top image is from Dissidia, the second is from the PS1 Final Fantasy Anthology version. Here's a couple more images from the PS1 version:

As you can see, he's got a very gaunt face, very high cheeks, and a very thin neck. I don't think muscle-clown is a very appropriate look for this guy. Your friend may have been thinking of this:

This is from when Kefka ascended himself into god-hood, this is his own idealized version of himself. It is not the same as

Also one more just because

Oh, you want muscles, do you?

[copperbadge]

This is one of the most profound statements on leadership I’ve encountered in a long time, and it really landed a hit on me. It’s difficult to discuss without getting a little weird about it, but for a long time I’ve been of the mind that the privilege of having a large readership implies the duty of giving back in specific ways – I just never thought of it in terms of leadership as submission to duty.
