In the WoB, the old man claims that his colosseum will be a monument to war, and adds, "If I can ever get the help I need to finish it, that is!"
Maybe it's been too long since I beat the game but I was wondering who gave him the help? I'm not going to pass the WoB for another day or so, so can anyone refresh my memory? I'm thinking it's that guy in the inn section of the colosseum that talks about it, but I don't remember what he said. -------------------- Lou: There's a couple of guys fighting down at the aquarium, Chief. Wiggum: Do they still sell those frozen bananas? Lou: I think so. Wiggum: Let's roll. |

'cuz the old man says so and there's no evidence to the contrary.

Indeed. Kefka takes some kind of liking to him and helps him build it.

I thought when he said "And it's all thanks to Kefka", or whatever, he meant the WoR being as it is. It got the money flowing in since people and monsters wanted to beat the tar outta each other, and Kefka would be indirectly responsible. Or is it possible I've actually managed to miss some dialogue somewhere...?

I was under the impression that Kefka just enjoyed the sheer premise of it, what with the killing and choas etc. that he seems to get a kick out of, and therefore bankrolled it. I think there I some snip of dialogue to that effect, but I don't have an exact quote.

I read a really great fanfic where Kefka wins the final battle and the colosseum becomes a VERY gruesome place; even worse than Rome.
But anyway, my question is this: why not before? He's an Imperial General, surely he knew of it before the WoR came to be. -------------------- |

Kefka had other things to do before, for one thing. Besides, there's no other backstory on the Colosseum's construction so we can't go any further with the question.

Seconded; there's about as much evidence supporting this as there is that Gogo is anyone but a generic character with no secret identity as such. The old man seems to be more intent in praising Kefka for causing the world to enter a state of chaotic turmoil than for funding his colloseum. After all, strife brings war, and battles are what this guy's after. And would Kefka, a deranged psychopath who cares nothing for the world but to see everything destroyed, give a wet snap about a place where organised, non-fatal battles can be carried out to entertain the masses? Hardly seems to be his style.  Besides, when some guy destroys the world then threatens to anihilate your village just by sheer force of will, you don't ask him for payment. You bloody well give him what he wants. -------------------- "Judge not a man by his thoughts and words, but by the quality and quantity of liquor in his possession and the likelyhood of him sharing." |
