When I battle Kefka in the final, somehow I always imagine that the three statue things (Girl, tiger, sleep etc.) before him are the "Monument of Non-existance" as Kefka talks about before you challenge him. If you think about it, the word "monument" fits well on three statues. And "Non-existance" as well, since there are no names or anything in the "enemy name box", and you have to hit various spots on the statues, plus that they are very bizarre.
 Anyway, I don't know why I posted this, I just wanted to hear what you think about this theory.  -------------------- People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast! |

I've been under the same exact assumption. Â I didn't have to contemplate about it, it seemed obvious. Â A bunch of bodies and whatevers fused together making their identities inapplicable sounds like life turned into one heck of a monument of non-existence. Â I also was suspicious that the people in it were dead and functioning on some spell from Kefka. Â One even has her head plunged into the rock and metal and junk of the monument.

The "monument to non-existance" is a metaphor, IMO. He's not referring to actually building a statue that commemorates death - he's referring to making the entire world a wasteland, and killing off all life so that the entire world he rules is the monument.

I agree. If I correctly remember it, he actually says "I will create a monument to non-existence". To me, it always seemed that he would build it (or accomplished it) when every life is no more. |

Maybe this is over-analyzing, but wouldn't you think that the "monument" to non-existence would be non-existent? Wouldn't having something that exist symbolize non-existence be an oxymoron? Maybe that is just a clue to let players know Kefka's psycho.

I know that. What I meant was that it is fun to think in that way, having all those statues as a monument, and then its master.  -------------------- People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast! |
