History WMG / FinalFantasyVI

Or at least, the Final Fantasy VI version of him. He is fought right before the Omega Weapon, just like Shinryu's fight was paired with Omega. Both are somewhat serpentine, and have long, red hair. Both are also [[BonusBoss superbosses]].

Sometime after the events of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Locke and Celes bear a son, and Cid gives him the name Kefka, after the good man (and friend to Cid) who Kefka originally was before the botched {{Magitek}} experiment turned him into a MonsterClown. Later, toddler Kefka [[NoodleIncident is pulled]] into [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV the Void]] and is luckily quickly thrown out, but [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV the Time]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Compression]] dropped him in the vicinity of Vector decades in the past. He grows up as Kefka Palazzo, a man two decades older than Locke. No, I had never read ''MarvelUniverse'' at the time I came up with this particular WMG.

At least, triads are present on the worlds of [=FF1=],2,3,4,5,9,10 and maybe 12 and 15, where the source of magic is not explained. On these worlds, the Triads that arrived didn't conflict, and were never discovered. In [=FF7=], magic is explained to be somewhat of a byproduct of crystallized memories within Materia, so it is an exception. For FF8, I suggest that there is a triad on the world's moon, and that inhabitants of the planet have learned to extract or 'draw' magic from monsters arriving from the moon following lunar cries (coincidentally similar to the Empire draining magic from Espers, but obviously more refined).

** On top of that, as far as I know, Mario has ALWAYS been a jack-of-all-trades, ideal for being a mimic. And I've always wondered why the item is called "Fake Mustache." It goes deeper. Gogo's only viable weapons are flails and rods, which are the closest FF6 gets to hammers, Mario's signature weapon. Not saying I believe the theory, but still.

Basically, there is another fundamental force in the FF6 universe that humans and monsters can tap into. It has several applications but takes extensive training and is highly limited compared to magic. This explains the otherwise unexplainable enemy and character abilities that seem magical or magic-like, despite the claim that the general populace believes nobody has used magic in a thousand years. Leo's Shock, Sabin's Blitzes, Cyan's Bushido, Gau's Rages, possibly Setzer's slots, Mog's dance and most enemy abilities are examples of the utilization of this 'weak supernatural force'. The exception might be Strago, as his lores are implied to stem from being a descendant of the Magi, and therefore magic-based. Same with Relm's sketch. The upshot of this whole theory is that with the annihilation of magic at the end of the game will not affect these abilities, so post-game, supernatural events and abilities will still be the norm, they just won't be as intense or prominent as those caused by magic.

** When you consider that in Duodecim, when Gilgamesh enters the Dissidia world, he is bound by the rules of the cycle, means that he probably had to obey the rules of the FF6 universe. When magic was gone, he reverted to normal, and left for the world of FF8.

Is Creator/KoujiTsujitani a.k.a [[Manga/{{Inuyasha}} Miroku]]. RelationshipVoiceActor, as [[Creator/HoukoKuwashima Celes']] voice actor is also Sango. Not to mention that Tsujitani also have to deal with StarCrossedLovers, as Franchise/MobileSuitGundam can attest.

Another one could be Creator/YujiUeda a.k.a Akito Tenkawa from Nadesico. Also a RelationshipVoiceActor, since Celes is also Yurika.

[[WMG: Terra has both [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Green Hair]] and [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Blonde hair]]]]
Her half esper nature gives her hair an unnatural green color for most of the game, a sign of her ethereal and partially otherworldly nature. But when Magic disappears from the world after Kefka's defeat, she loses that part of herself, which is signified by her hair becoming a more normal blonde. Therefore, both her in game appearance, and her Amano artwork appearance are her correct looks.

* Probably not. The reason why she's confused by Edgar's flirting is because she's just had the Slave Crown removed by Arvis. In the Japanese translation (not sure about the GBA because I haven't played in a while) Arvis says that the Crown dampens her emotions. In other words, it dulls any fear, empathy, or love that she might have otherwise felt while wearing it. Also, she's just escaped from the Empire: the only non-grunts she might have ran across were Gestahl, Kefka, Leo, and Cid. YMMV regarding Locke and the LesYay with Celes; I saw waaay more FoeYay with Leo, to be honest.

In the event that the "Kefka threw the battle" theory above isn't true, then this was probably why he lost. The heroes give their WorldOfCardboardSpeech, which causes Kefka to lose whatever modicum of restraint he has left and fires the Light of Judgment upon the world, seeking to eliminate the heroes' remaining sources of hope (and everything that happens to be in between them), prompting the heroes to attack. When they get to the top of the tower, Kefka's still using Light of Judgment as he fights, thinking that once everything's destroyed, the heroes will have no other option than to succumb to dispair (or the Light will cause an EarthShatteringKaboom, whichever comes first). Kind of a WeaksauceWeakness, since it basically boils down to Kefka trying and failing to multitask, but it makes sense.

[WMG: Shadow is he reason why Relm has the highest magical stats.]]

*** HighFantasy is pretty timeless. Besides, the setting seems more [[FantasyCounterpartCulture reminiscent]] of a [[JustForFun/XMeetsY cross]] between OliveGarden with {{Intrepid Merchant}}s (Figaro), FeudalJapan (Doma, yet it's mixed with Cyan's [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe olde englishe]]), DarkestAfrica (the Veldt, it even comes with African folk music, but thankfully avoiding that trope's more UnfortunateImplications), UrbanSegregation (Jidoor vs. Zozo with surprisingly sturdy-looking ''skyscrapers''), {{Steampunk}} (practically everywhere but especially Figaro, Vector and Narshe) and TheGayNineties (household technology), with lots of SchizoTech to go around (Come on, the Empire has mecha and genetic engineering (Celes' implied origin) yet they still use ''carrier pigeons''? Well if one has Magitek he can easily build an Internet for starters). Overall, the world feels less Middle Ages and more post-Renaissance, with sprinkled pieces of pure AnachronismStew and that make the setting difficult to pin to any real world time period. Basically, the story can get away with anything it pleases, including certain modern-style laws like age of consent.

In a case of BiTheWay, as Clyde seems to like ladies too if he banged Relm's mom. Anyway, Shadow's last line in the ending is translated different ways depending on release, but the literal translation from Japanese was "I don't need to flee anymore. Embrace me warmly."

[[WMG: DownerEnding WMG/{{Poison Oak Epileptic Tree|s}} based on the above:]]
Kefka succeeded in becoming God, and Celes is the last woman on Earth who did succeed in her suicide attempt. However, Kefka put her in Purgatory, and gave her illusions of a "revived team" as a setup to give her hope until he crushes her to AbsoluteDespair. No mater how Celes' team will defeat him, the Purgatory is still crapsack and Kefka will still be at the top of the tower to rule as {{God}}. Even if you repeat the process forever. In other words, Kefka put Celes, the last woman on Earth, in an EndlessRecursionOfTime. She will continue to suffer under Kefka, at least until she is driven to Absolute Despair. And even when she succumbs yo Absolute Despair and kills herself, she will still survive to be trapped under Kefka's boot... [[AndIMustScream Forever.]]

* Essential craziness aside, and assuming Cid is alive, naming a kid Kefka after the World of Ruin would probably be like naming a kid Adolf after WWII. Times ten. You can't really [[StarWars Anakin Skywalker/Solo]] it, since the name was straight-up the one he used while he was a cackling god of unspeakable horror. Also, that really makes the emperor's 'I want you and Celes to have magi-babies' speech even worse...

* [[YouFailBiologyForever She'd only have half of her mother's DNA.]] Even if that half was duplicated to "fill in the blanks", that wouldn't make her genetically identical to her mother, since the duplicate genes wouldn't all be the same alleles as the ones she didn't inherit.

* Alternatively, you fight Wrexsoul in a dream realm, and during so you battle through not just the Phantom Train, but also the caves of Narshe in Magitek, which story-wise, Cyan didn't go through(I might be wrong though). So while the dream area is mainly composed of Cyan's memories, they are most likely also formed in small part from the memories of the rest of the team that's there with him. This, along with Wrexsoul being a demon that feeds on negative emotions, depending on whether or not you have Shadow in the party would mean that the third Memento Ring is not what is but what could have been - Baram's ring.
