Happy Birthday to one of the main heroes of Final Fantasy VI! Celes is perhaps best known for her opera scene, which is one of the most iconic moments in Final Fantasy history. Or perhaps you best remember her from a more tragic scene later in the game, where she really shows her vulnerability during a time of tragedy. Either way, Celes is a standout character from Final Fantasy VI, and a part of many people's gaming memories.
Celes is a Magitek Knight and General initially working for the Evil Empire. When we meet her though, she has had second thoughts about the empire and its methods and is met by Locke in South Figaro where she is to be executed. Sure enough, that doesn't really happen, and Celes joins the resistance.
Like most characters in this game, what she can do in battle is largely up to the player. However, she does have a unique Runic ability, which can absorb magic, and she starts off being able to use Ice magic, in contrast to Terra's fire magic.
So what are some of your favourite Celes moments? Did you like her character? Did you use her a lot? Either way, come with her a very happy birthday!
