Concerning the fate of Imperial soldiers in the WoR What happened to the imperial soldiers after the cataclysm remains a mistery but it is assumed that most of them pledged allegience to Kefka and decided to become his honorguards and worshipers for the sake of their own survival and would otherwise be killed Why exactly is it assumed that most Imperial soldiers pledged allegiance to Kefka and by whom is this assumed Wouldn t make more sense to assume that most Imperial soldiers simply stopped soldiering and moved on with their lives after the Empire was wiped off the face of the world Granted the player will encounter a variation of prototype MagiTek armor in Kefka s tower but it seems just as likely that these are prototypes that Kefka s own minions scavanged from the remains of the MagiTek Factory or even perhaps these units belong to a small faction of Imperial fanatics trying to infiltrate the Tower and overthrow Kefka themselves Grimgerde
