    The way I see it, the game is split into three parts, with three of the characters taking center stage.

    The first part is with Terra and follows her from the beginning to the battle of Narshe (with the exception of the "choose a scenario" segment). During this time, Teraa questions her existance and tries to learn what it means to be human.

    After Terra turns into an Esper and flies away, Locke decides to look for her in order to keep his earlier promise. During this time frame, we learn about Locke's past and his quest for atonement. We also observe his growing relationship with Celes, both before and after Locke finally finds Terra. Of course, Locke's predominance in the plot doesn't last for the rest of the WoB arc, but it's safe to say he was prominent in the plot for the majority.

    And finally, in the WoR, Celes sets out and reunites the group for the fight against Kefka. While the WoR maintains ambiguity on the identity of a dominant role, Celes is the character you start out with, which points her to being the leading lady in the third act.

    I agree with Edge7, although I do think for most of the game Terra is the main character, as the story focuses on her association with the Empire and later on her Esper abilities.

    Terra and Celes are my favorite Main characters,
    I heard somewhere that Celes was not intended as a main character,
    but one of the game's producers got taken away with her.

    Terra is just so... final fantasy, you know?

    I like Edge7's assessment. I always saw Terra and Locke as the main characters of the WoB and Celes as the main character of WoR.

    If you go purely by who is forced into your party the most, celes wins. Even though terra is a main character in my eyes, she's actually out of your party a lot.

    It looks like it depends on what aspect you value more. What about Kefka as the main character? Since when did the main character have to be the hero/ine?
