Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLI discussion

I meant the character, here he's nothing but a boss fight, and with the Sigmascape lore he'll be nothing but a random monster. Seems a waste of one of the best written villains FF has. Oh well was kinda hoping he'd be the new Garlean big bad or something.

Having him in Sigmascape is the best place for a character like Kefka to appear in. This means that Omega is recreating a character everyone knows and loves, with no change to his personality (what makes him a good villain). If he were a Garlean character, he'd just be viewed as a rip-off/unoriginal character, as his backstory and personality would not be the same as that of his FFVI counterpart.

Either he would do terrible and ffvi fans would be unhappy, or he would do great and people would wonder why some remake character from another game has taken over the story. So I agree, recreating the fight is cool, anything more would border on too much. Hes had his game, he was amazing in it, that game is over. Its also my favorite

Perhaps your right, Personally I'm not a big fan of the way omega just import a boss fight but I can see why people like it, each to the own I guess.
