I think the main character changes in this game really often. Ok, from the begining when Terra visits Tritotch in the Narshe caverns it then shows some sort of connection which makes it that Terra and the Espers are the main characters until shortly after and Locke enters the story to help her leave Narshe. Then it becomes Edgar, Sabin and Locke and so on and so on and soooooooooooooooo on. Their really is no "main" character because every character has their own story but if you had to chose I would say that it's Locke, Celes and Terra.

Kicks ass that it was a female either way.
I honestly agree with you on that one.


It's great that a FF actually has all female leads for once....

.....of course I'm not counting X2 which in my opinion was a waste of 24 hours. *sorry fangirls/boys*

Lol, that's why FFVI still a step from others games even today. They developed the chars so much that u can't tell who's the main one! Kinda like FFVIII, can't say if it's Squall or Rinoa, and that's why they r the best for me!

But in the time i played it, I tought Locke was the leader of the group, lol.

I've only played through the first few hours, and I've always considered Terra to be the main character.
Maybe it's just because she's in the opening movie. O_o

If you had to choose one, it would be Terra for me...She starts the story and it is her dealings with the Espers that ties directly into the domination of the world aspect....Locke & Celes would be her friends that help save the day...Although the little chauvinist on my shoulder keeps whispering "Screw that, Locke saves the day" in my ear.

I don't think the creators wanted there to be a main character. I think the story was supposed to focus on everyone instead of just one character, which I think was a good idea. I think when the story focused it's attention on Celes after the world ends, I think that was them showing that there was no main character. If we started with Terra after the end of the world that would have pretty much made her the main character.

That's why I love this game. Every character is important to the story line.

But after the world ends she becomes an optional character. You start off with Celes in the World of Ruin.

I say there is no main character because you can choose basically anybody you want to go to most area, therefore its different everytime depending on who you choose

Yes you do start off with her buy you can still finish the game without getting her in the WoR
