Kefka gets even better once you dig into the original dialogue, since there’s some hard-to-translate quirks on his speech.
For example, he uses ⟨ぼくちん⟩ bokuchin as the first person pronoun, in hiragana. Typically this pronoun is only used by very young children, it feels out-of-place and creepy when an adult does it. And at the same time that ⟨ちん⟩ chin can be also understood as ⟨朕⟩, a royal we-like pronoun (Japanese emperors used it up to WW2). If you catch this early it’s pretty much a spoiler - “Kefka will backstab the current emperor and seise the power for himself”.
