If Terra was meant to have blonde hair...

[Greatermaximus]

Imagine this coming from my avatar Terra.

"Oh, why don't I try magicitemiracle cream. Using magic to change hair color isn't overrated."

...

"I'll also create a new coat. I hope I don't run out of MP during a blizzard."

I like her with green hair. It sets her aside from the rest of the party (other then being able to transform into an esper at will, of course). Also, FFVI-2 would suck. There would be no magic. They sealed the plot so there was no real way to make a sequel. At all.

Terra with blonde hair would make half her sprite look the same as celes' sprite, at least from the rear.

The first quarter or so of the game limited your magic immensely. The lack of magic would not be the reason why FFVI-2 would suck. The fact it wouldn't live up to the original - nostalgia goggles or not - is why it would suck.

It's a moment in gaming that just plain can't happen again, agreed.

To be honest, the original designs for Terra and Celes look awfully similar. That might have been intentional on the part of the artist, but a lot of his work has a certain distinct style that can be easily seen in past and present designs. You know, kind of like how Akira Toriyama's character designs are similar?

Similar? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Very true, but part of the great,great fun of the game is being able to walk around farming monsters on celes's island in the WoR and getting ultima. Thinking more, how would it play out? They kept the story of that game sealed and left so they could not make a (good) sequel.

Unless they made it 1000 years in the future and referenced the events of FF6 like they did with the War of the Magi in the past. That would be interesting to get to see how the world has evolved since then.

And to have a WoR like cataclysm that actually returns the continents to their original positions.

[Spooniest]

Come on, they'd have to do a story where they bring the characters back from the original, or what's the point?

And as far as not having magic, it really does make it touchy to do any kind of extended story. You could handwave it, but not without seeming lazy. And trying to do a Final Fantasy game without the signature magic spells is just pointless.

If it were me (and it isn't), I would do something involving Figaro using its newly developed submarines to investigate a series of ships being lost way far out in the ocean. They find the wreckage of the ships deep underwater, right next to the remains of the Sealed Gate.

So Edgar gets Setzer to take him to Mobliz (Setzer has been funding the building of a proper orphanage, now that he's not blowing all his money on liquor anymore), and asks Terra if she would mind going on a submarine voyage to investigate...and we're off!

Because then you can capture on nostalgia of the original without cheapening it. Lets face it, magically dreaming up some event even on par with Kefka destroying the world in the characters lifetime is going to make it seem less like the most epic story that ever happened to the planet and more like a piece of fanfiction.

If you place it far into the future every reference to the events of the past or people who participated in them is a delicious little treat fans of the original FF6. Not only that it will be able to target a much larger audience who may not have played FF6. (And hopefully go back and play it after.)

A good story always leaves you wanting more of the characters. But just think of the old addage, Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. If the story had closure then it probably isn't the best idea to open it up again.

would say sequels are not going to happen for VI. It's ending is pretty definitive for the most part. On the other hand, prequels give you a lot of room to play around with.

I am strangely attracted to this idea... Attracted in a way I previously thought only possible to be to other human beings.

I bet that is what they said at the end of the War of the Magi.

[Wolf Kanno]

Well considering VI ends with the party wiping magic out as opposed to the War of the Magi where it simply sealed itself away, unless some new gods show up, I don't see a new War of the Magi in the future unless it's going to be the boring nuclear weapon variety.
