Other appearances
Final Fantasy XIV
Template:Sideicon
Kefka is the final boss for the fourth Sigmascape version in the Stormblood expansion. Like in the GBA and subsequent versions of Final Fantasy VI, Kefka declares himself the greatest power in the cosmos, calling the party dirt beneath his boots. Like in the SNES/PS versions of Final Fantasy VI, Kefka declares his intention to destroy everything and create a monument to non-existence.
During the first phase of the fight, Kefka attacks via Blizzard Blitz, Flagrant Fire, Thrumming Thunder, Aero Assault, Ultima Upsurge, Graven Image, Hyper Drive, and Timely Teleport, and taunts the party. After dealing some damage, he summons the Statue of the Gods to aid him, with each part ascending at Kefka's command after the party deals enough damage to him.
Depending on which mode of Sigmascape V4.0 is used, and how many phases the battle lasts, its conclusion will vary: Normal mode lasts three phases, with Kefka whining he lost in disbelief when fading away. In Savage mode, Kefka disappears while gloating about how he has found a glorious purpose, with the Statue of the Gods collapsing and the skyscape turning gold as Kefka descends. He then states a variant of his speech before confronting the Returners in this form, "Life... dreams... hope... Where do they come from, and where do they go? Such things as those... are mine to destroy!" When preparing Forsaken, Nero tol Scaeva yells "He's gone beyond chaos... the end approaches!", a variation of Kefka's "The end comes... beyond chaos..." in the SNES/PS versions when charging the aforementioned attack. Late in the battle he comments on how only utter ruin will suffice. Upon being defeated he screeches as he fades away.
The Wind-Up Kefka's description implies this was the original Kefka from Final Fantasy VI, whose world was in an alternate dimension, with only Y'shtola Rhul recognizing him.
The manner in which Kefka is fought regarding the Statue of the Gods resembles a dummied concept for the final boss fight against Kefka from his originating game.

He assists Kuja to capture Zidane, though accidentally catches Bartz instead. Kefka suggests to have Exdeath trick Bartz into giving the trap to Zidane.
His alternate form is a palette swap based on his Final Fantasy VI battle sprite.
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Template:Sideicon Kefka reappears as a Warrior of Chaos alongside the other characters from the original. In this cycle he acts to sabotage the plans of his allies to betray Chaos, revealing Kuja's treachery to the other Warriors of Chaos and arranging for him to be defeated by Lightning, and manipulating Sephiroth to attack Tifa, prompting Cloud to reveal his true colors when he tries to protect her. He uses Terra as a weapon of war until Kuja weakens his spell, allowing Terra to resist him and flee Kefka's grasp with Vaan. Kefka serves as one of the participants in the final battle of Scenario 012, fighting Vaan.

3★ - No. 0209: A mage from another world where magic and espers once lived. His mind was irreparably damaged by an infusion of artificial magic, but his emperor still places a great deal of trust in this madman. He is as fickle as a child, and just as quick to explode in anger, but these are tantrums with a death toll-- he even kills women and children indiscriminately. Even his fellow soldiers in the Gestahlian Army hate and fear Kefka for his madness and cruelty.4★ - No. 0210: A mage from another world where magic and espers once lived. A key player of the Gestahlian Empire, he stands in the way of the Returners time and again. His mind has been broken by the magic he was implanted with, leaving him emotionally stunted and devoid of morals. He murdered the entire population of Doma without hesitation, and shows no remorse for any of his heartless acts. He is obsessed with the espers and the great power that he could gain from them.5★ - No. 0211: A mage from another world where magic and espers once lived. He served the Gestahlian Empire, but his mind is twisted and warped. He hunts the espers to harvest magicite from them, and his lust for power explodes as it goes unchecked by those around him. He betrays his own emperor without a second thought, then lets the Warring Triad run wild. Amid the chaos, he is reborn as a god of destruction who wants nothing more than to see the world burn.6★ - No. 0502: A mage from another world where magic and espers once lived. Kefka lost his empathy for others, along with his sanity, during the experimental process that gave him his magical powers as the first Magitek Knight. He will use any means necessary to achieve his maniacal ambitions, including turning against imperial general Leo, and even against Emperor Gestahl himself. After acquiring the power of the Warring Triad in order to destroy the world, Kefka builds his own tower out of rubble and makes his ascension as a god. He then proceeds to drain the Warring Triad's power, smiting anyone who dares defy him with the Light of Judgement.Entries for different versions of Kefka.
