The reason of why this is my second favorite FF is simple. Kefka actually does something, and you can't stop that fucker.
Sure, the gameplay, music (<3), characters, and everything else make this game to be extremely enjoyable, but where will you find that the bad guy actually destroys the world, and not just sits his ass and says "Sup lol I'mma destroy your world doods" outside this game? I haven't seen anything like it,

Well, to be fair... Kuja in FF9 actually did destroy a planet. Beyond recovery even. The Dark One in Arc the Lad 2 pretty much pulled a Kefka, also, as the entire surface of their world was devestated and civilization was thrown into ruin. The wisemen in Star Ocean 2 caused the destruction on all but a small portion of their planet -- and the demons in Wild Arms 1/3 have moved from planet to planet destroying them as they come across them.
If you meant simply during the course of the game, though, FF9 and Arc the Lad 2 still stand as good examples. I still think Kefka is one of the better (and without a doubt, more insane) villains out there, though, but he isn't the only villain who ever achieved his goals.
Edit: lol, you could just use Umaro at the top of the tower or berserk your party for a fast and easy win. FF6 definitely was not hard. Heck, it wasn't even easy; it fell more into the line of "very easy" if I had to label the difficulty. But I guess everyone has their own opinions. I've played plenty of SMT games -- and I enjoyed the difficulty. It truthfully was not that bad and I would not wish all my games be easier because of the experience. That's just silly.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
