Kind of an odd topic after the holidays.

You see, it all started out getting this DVD set about the glory of Rome and the history about it's Senators, Kings, and Emperors. One Emperor caught my interest and gave me the shivers down my spine.

Emperor Nero.

Nero was a nasty one. It was a surprise Rome didn't collasp then. Murdered his wives - Forced people to watch his shows. Suspicious of betrayals? No problem. He had them killed. He even had his own mother murdered!

That doesn't describe half of what he has done. It is even said when his wife died, he decided to replace her - ordered a man to be turned into a woman.

...

Use your imagination, fellas.

So as I was thinking about Nero, my thoughts began to wander into(what I think) is Final fantasy's best villain ever, Kefka. He was nasty too. Poisoned an entire kingdom, etc. The two are so close in nastiness that I began to wonder.

Did Squaresoft, at that time, based Kefka off of Emperor Nero? There isn't evidence to it. I wish I could find such. But it's creepy that how close they are.

But I guess with it being re-released for the Gameboy Advance, I'm all "FF6-yay!" all over again.

Bring it on, Kefka boy! >O
