That picture was taken on an emulator (or video mode) that doesn't support color add/subtract... How could I retake the picture and replace the existing one? I'm new to Wikipedia...

His clothing is similar to costumes worn by French nobility during the later part of the 17th century.
See 17th Century French Nobility
Compare that to: Kefka In-game sprite (Boss Battle) Kefka Original Art
Link to Discussion: Is Kefka Really a Clown?
I think those last two paragraphs would be better off in the Final Fantasy VI article, they really serve no purpose here. -- Paul Soth 06:51, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Done. - Chardish 08:56, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Isn't that screenshot a little spoilish? I mean, that's the final battle, so it does spoil things for people who intend to play the game. In my opinion, a pic showing Kefka on his normal form would be more suitable.-- Kaonashi 16:06, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Seeing as how this guy hasn't done anything, I went ahead and swapped it, I hope there are no objections. -- Trypa Party 18:51, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
Do you think we should have one of his non combat form (his sprite)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.12.242.239 ( talk) 07:32, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
So, a discussion about his comedic quotes and possible censorship in relation to them is considered to be the dreaded fancruft, yet a paragraph speculating about his names origin (of which his last is never even mentioned ingame), is not? Personally, I thought the added information was interesting, though in need of a bit of cleaning up. -- Tyrath 12:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
I remember reading that Kefka's "other forms" (the goddess bosses) were based on old religious Rennaisance paintings. If this is true, does anyone know what they were?
I don't understand why this article keeps getting merged into List of Final Fantasy VI characters. I personally think that Kefka deserves his own article, being one of the series' most popular villains and whatnot, and I'm quite sure he's more well known than say, Umaro.
I completely disagree. I agree with Umaro. Kefka should have his own page. Magemirlen 2:42, 20 January 2006 (EST)
If Seymour Guado and Kuja both get their own pages, Kefka definitely should have one. Kuja and Seymour aren't very popular (in fact, more people HATE them than like them). And Kefka has his legions of fans and popularity. Why? Because he's different than most villains. Instead of having an actual motive and objective to what he's doing (Sephiroth says he's doing "what the planet desires."), Kefka acts out of pure hatred alone. This alone doesn't only make him notable, it makes him a primere face in the Final Fantasy series. As far as villains go, only Chaos, Exdeath, and Sephiroth (and even those are subject to opinion) can be considered more notable and popular. And Seancdaug, I don't understand why pre-Playstation FFs should be given less Wikipedia publicity than the post-FFVI ones. Crazyswordsman 01:04, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
As it stands, I can't offer a good stance on the subject. I believe he is, indeed, quite a notable villian due to his unique characteristics. He is quite unlike major villians, and it is what partly makes him such an enduring character. Additionally, there are various pieces of information on him not readily included in the character list page, like cultural references that are made in the final battle. However, like it was pointed out, Kefka is not as well known as say Sephiroth or Mithos Yggdrasil (From Tales of series), who both have their own articles. To those who wish for Kefka to get his own article, I'd wait it out. As it stands, Final Fantasy VI has been released twice already (as FFIII in the US and FFAnthology), and with the port for the Gameboy Advance coming, I'm sure Kefka will gain the notability he needs.

As this has become an edit war, I have protected. I do not have an opinion on whether this character deserves their own article; but this needs to be worked out in Talk, not as an edit war. Come to a consensus and if an individual article is merited, make a request for unprotection. KillerChihuahua ?!? 17:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
To the admin who notices this: Now that the software allows redirects to anchors, please change the redirect to look like this, so it will kick right down to the entry on the list:
#REDIRECT [[List of Final Fantasy VI characters#Kefka Palazzo]] {{R with possibilities}} [[Category:Fictional mass murderers]] [[Category:Final Fantasy villains]]
(Ugh, it's ignoring brs in a nowiki. Guess you'll have to edit this to see it spaced properly). I grabbed the categories from the Kefka redirect page. Once they're stuck on this redirect, I will remove them from that redirect.
Thank you. SnowFire 05:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with this, as the paragraph uses phrases such as "in the course of the game," which clearly indicates that we're talking about a work of fiction from a real world perspective, and not from an "in-universe" perspective. 24.27.113.154 ( talk) 16:45, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
As with articles from other games and films ect, would it make sense to link to the Wiki accociated with the character in question (or whatever the article is about)? As they are more specific, their information would be a little more 'concentrated'. Any thoughts on this?
Kefka-Magic ( talk) 14:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
The article describes Kefka (during the final battle) as a tower of flesh on top of which he is impaled. As far as I can tell, the tower (or rather, the creatures that compose it) are simply more of his servants. It's not like he was stuck on top of the tower and suddenly took on a godlike form. Alex.liu064 ( talk) 00:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't think "Kefka Palazzo" is official. It's either Kefka, Cefca or Cefca Palazzo. What do you think? Jonathan Hardin' ( talk) 17:16, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
