the jester in the preview for 2.3 in CT

In the preview at the CT part it shows some undead jester/clown could it be Kefka(undead/zombie)?

It's Amon from FF3, not Kefka.

Shows his name as well here:

Pirate skeleton but the excessive Allagan neon and glows in general this game has makes everyone look like a clown.

All of the bosses in CT are from FF3 since the entire quest is a chunk of FF3 turned MMO. :P

Yup! Although Anon doesn't really have much of a story his counter part Hein has a pretty big tale in FF3


FF3 Spoilers

Hein had gained the trust of the king of Castle Argus, which governed a large region of the Floating Continent, and became the castle's wizard. In reality though, he was one of several monsters sent by Xande to cause chaos on the Floating Continent, and his true form was that of a skeletal being. Eventually, the mage cast a spell over the Elder Tree, causing it to float over the desert south of Castle Argus, and christened it Castle Hein.

Hein then bewitched all of the castle's inhabitants and imprisoned them in his new fortress, where he terrorized the neighboring town of Tokkul. Luneth and his friends were captured during one raid on Tokkul and were brought to the living castle. They managed to overcome the guards and monsters within the castle and ascended the decaying tree to face Hein, who showed no remorse for his actions. The Warriors of the Light defeated the crazed mage, and the Elder Tree returned to its true form. Before replanting itself in the forest from whence it came, the tree restored the royal family and guards of Argus to their rightful place at the throne.

Final Fantasy 8 Also had its own version of Hein/Hyne/Amon
