Your Favourite Final Fantasy VI Character

[Lirael]

Final Fantasy VI has quite an ensemble of characters - there are fourteen playable characters, the most of any game in the main Final Fantasy series to date. Who was your favourite and why?

Please give detailed reasons! You may choose more than one character. Feel free to choose antagonists and extras.

My favorite is Cyan and by far is the only one that has a GOOD reason to face and kill Kefka, and his story and character quest is the more emotive of all of them, the saddest part in FF6 is when Cyan sees his familily going on the phantom Train and when he is consumed by sadness as he was unable to save them.

Those moments completely win over Celes attempt of suicide, so Cyan for me is the MC and his sword thecnics are great.

Shadow.

The nature/virtue embodied by most other characters can be analogized to other characters in the entire FF series. Things like honor, justice, love, etc... are always recurring themes. But Shadow's entire story and eventual redemption is pretty unique. I don't think you can point to any playable character in the FF series who is remotely similar to Shadow. Now that I think of it, his arc is actually pretty similar to Darth Vader's.

Plus I find it funny that his actual name is Clyde. That's in the top 5 when it comes to the most unintimidating names.

Kefka Palazzo

Because he is just like a crazy psychopath that dresses like a clown/jester, and he just amuses me, especially in Dissidia.

I think he is the FF version of The Joker.

Setzer. If it wasn't for him traveling would be a pain . In all seriousness, I love the gambling gimmick and the cards for a weapon is a genius complement to his personality.

Kefka, Kefka, and Kefka. lol. He is my all time favorite villian.

But I also loved Celes so I voted for her too. She was my favorite character to fight with. I just like her style. Other characters I loved: Shadow and Setzer.

I like many characters from VI. My favourite is Locke, actually he is my favourite from Final Fantasy and not just from VI.

To be honest I would have voted for Cyan but I think they didnt give us enough time to like him before his family was killed, I was sad of course but I still didnt care much for him. In the end I voted up for Mog.. I just love Mog. He isnt developed very well but he was a BEAST in battle!

Mog.

He's a beast, he's quirky, and he's a non-human that's a hell of a lot more intelligent then most humans.

Plus, I always liked his Dances. They pulled me out of some tight spots at times.
