    I think Regula van Hydrus might be our Kefka... What, he isn't insane? Yet...

    What is the Garleans biggest weakness? Their inability to use magic. A similar story to Final Fantasy VI, no? Magic was dead, until the Gestahlian Empire revived it. They did that by infusing soldiers to grant them magic, and that's what drove Kekfa insane.

    Now, we have the Garlean Empire sitting happy at Azys Lla, where the Allag did all manner of research... I can totally see a plot where by, the currently composed Regula, attempts to infuse Garleans with magic to overcome their one weakness, but the process results in an absolutely broken madman who then goes "I'ma try and absorb the Warring Triad too!", perhaps... Effectively, our "Kefka" would be the Kefka we didn't see in Final Fantasy VI...

    Of course, they could not do that, but after Nael van Darnus being such a strong nod to Sephiroth... I'm incline to think Legates will have some reference built into past villains... Arguably the boat has sailed with Final Fantasy III, but I think Goldor could fill the shoes... He certainly already looks like a Legate, though he was just a minor villain... We already have two Legates who references the villain of the game for their Legion (Nael being VIIth Legion, Regular VIth for reference...), so why not keep that trend? Yes, I'm counting Gaius van Baelsar (XIVth Legion) as a reference to Final Fantasy XIV, how could I not? He so perfectly encapsulates the game, where Final Fantasy XIV relies on nostalgia for a large part of its content, Gaius did exactly the same, even out right copying Nael to a degree...
