I think this game has one of the best stories ever... Kefka was a cool villian. He was cruel, but also very funny:
"Then… welcome to my Barbecue!! Uwa hahaha!" or.. "Ahem. There's SAND on my boots." or.. "Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of nowhere?!"
etc etc :)
The music was also beautiful as always :)
