Honestly I'd prefer there to be a unique twist. If they wanted to pull a 'Gestahl' then they should have simply used the old Emperor for that. He even looked the part from what we saw of him in artwork. They brought a new Emperor in and having really done a whole lot with him yet - so having him killed off for the sake of a FF6 reference would be a kick in the teeth. If Regula absorbs the Triad's power I'd actually find it more interesting if it enhanced his drive to protect and advance the Emperor's goals. I never really liked Kefka much though - he was amusing for a while but he got old pretty quickly.
