Kefka is different then Palpatine and Palpatine see's himself as a Godlike ruler who probably see's himself as a legendary being prophocised in legend with his verison of a savior. Not every CM has similar goals or think the same. I don't think I ever debated whether Palpatine was a Complete Monster (it's pretty obvious he is considered one in the lore, even though I personally think the Rebel Alliance qualifies more under that bit knowing how they were directly inspired by the likes of Communist groups such as the Vietcong especially, and how Marx indicated he just wanted a world full of chaos as you could probably guess [not to mention people killing each other just for a laugh].), I was debating whether Palpatine would have qualified as delusional (I personally think he was, especially given that the Visual Dictionary definitely indicated he was, and quite frankly, it wouldn't make sense for them to claim he thought of himself as savior, a good guy, in other words, if he truly thought himself evil like you claim).

And I really wouldn't say Kefka's all that different, especially when he's definitely very egocentric and definitely doesn't hold morality as being meaningful. Only difference is that unlike Palpatine, Kefka's clearly aware that he's evil and outright enjoys destruction.
