*pokes Edgar for his FFVII spoilers*
I actually hated FF6 more for what they did with the main characters. I'd much rather have 6-8 playable characters each with their own story, a couple of them intergrated to each other (for example, with Edgar and Sabin you can have the same story about ruling Figaro and whatnot.) At least it isn't as bad as Chrono Cross O_o
