"Yeah well that's like, just your opinion, man."
And I "definitely" completely disagree. Â But I'm not 14 any more, and my flame war days are behind me.
I mean how the explanation for it was presented. Sephiroth's reason for snapping was presented as part of the story - since it's also covering Cloud's past as well. You can't miss seeing it because it's required to proceed through the game. The explanation that Kefka snapped due to Magitek infusion was, as stated, relegated to a random NPC in a pub in Vector that you had no need to talk to.
I personally like Kefka more as a villain than Sephiroth, mainly because Sephiroth just strikes me as painfully derivative of the nihilistic court mage. He's also more... entertaining, I suppose? Not to mention that he actually succeeded and you spend half the game in a world he shaped how he wished with the power he obtained. But, as you mentioned, definitely a matter of opinion and preference.
