Final Fantasy 6 would be cool if it was more Edgy

Kefka can be a black metal dressed up guy.

And music OST would be all Linkin Park music composed. Just to see hipsters shriek in horror on the American continent. When they see their visual novel masterpiece, completely edged up!
 
When you play FF7 and realize it's just a reworked 3D version of VI.
Well FF6 Kefka was a rip off on Exdeath and Gilgamesh from FF5, its mostly a visual novel interms of FF5 and FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Very boring games.

FF7 has edge and overall a more defined experience. But no its not, it gets more to the point and doesnt drag so much on like FF6. This is FF7-FF10 in a nutshell!
 
FF6 is edgy enough. Can you think of any other computer games where the antagonist succeeded in all his goals and the world is still doomed at the end?

Kefka wanted to rule the world. He did.
Kefka wanted to destroy the world and watch it decay into nothingness. He did.
Kefka wanted a cult of nihilists who did nothing but adore him. He got it.
Kefka wanted to become God. He did.
Kefka wanted to die and the death of God/himself to be the crowning glory to his "monument to non existence". He did.

FF6 is far, far more edgy than FF7 or any other RPG to date in that respect. It wholly subverted the narrative structure of hero stories in games in a way that hasn't ever been replicated since. It can't even really be classified as a tragedy because there is no after affect after the tragedy takes place, there's just oblivion and inevitability. FF7 took on a "life and rebirth goes on" to take the edge off, FF13 likewise saw the destruction of God and the universe giving birth to a new one.

This didn't happen in FF6. God was an asshole, you killed him, and the world is doomed without magic and with most of the population already dead it's not going to get any better.

It's likely for that reason it wasn't as popular, and thus hasn't been copied in that way since.
 
FF6 doesn't need more edge. Arguably the animations, characterization and presentation respect the edge it had, while also keeping it in check. The ultimate message is "fuck you, HOPE" and I think making things edgier both in characterization and presentation would sacrifice a lot of charm the game had and its ability to make you laugh when you're down.

He didnt succeed because you didnt get a Game Over screen. What a shitty villain lol

Its actually styled for marxist socialists, not for edgelords. Low energy hipsters is what FF6 is made for. Its a game you go to a low energy coffee shop to talk about.

What's with Sonic accounts and having the worst Final Fantasy takes?

I misread the OP and thought it was "Kefka should be a black guy in white makeup".

I stand by my reboot idea wholeheartedly.
 
While your suggestion is dumb and gay, 6 is definitely not my favorite. Mainly because it's obvious they had memory issues.
