Why are you laughing at this poor man? Have you no compassion for the handicapped?

I think Terra and Celes are the main characters. The story just seems to revolve around them the most.

[Edgar]

Terra is out of my book for a main character. She is like an item, a tool to the entire game. She's hardly the main character. She's never the leader of any group.

Locke would be closer but he is just too...much of a main character sometimes :P

[OneWingedAngel89]

GoGo all the way!

[Anderin Range]

We must clearly declare Celes the winner of this title. This can only be understood by comparing the plot driving of each character. Most often we think of Terra as a main catalyst. She causes most of the action to occur in the World of Balance and many of the plot twists are revolving around her... right? well it may seem so but Celes is always, well after we get her, allowing such polt drives to go forward... The Opera leads to our getting to the Magitek Factory, Celes's knowledge and affiliation with the empire get us to be freed from the empire so we can go talk to the Espers and also to Thamasa. Lastly we also have a need for her when there is connections between magic/expers/Terra. It is her that gets many actions to get done. Then in the World of Ruin she is the one that starts us off, follows Edgar, and turns Setzer to come back onto the field (and only these characters are needed to complete the game). Also, Locke is in love with her! :mog:

The wonders of a game that actually has character-development! Well, Terra and Celes are a given, Locke has to be in there somehow, Sabin and Edgar as well (though slightly secondary), Setzer...? Nah, you'd need a good bit of imagination to include him. And Cyan requires even more.
Mog, Umaro, Gogo, Shadow, Relm, Strago are all secondary... Did I miss anyone? Let's see... 13... Oh yeah, Gau! Well, he's secondary as well.

[Itzpopalotl]

are you all blind? GoGo is the real Main Character, he has so much depth to his personality

Or she- I maintain that Gogo is (SPOILER)Daryll.



I like to think that all the characters are main characters due to the fact that they each have their own storyline- and you don't have just one in a party- but due to the fact that you focus on Terra in the WOB and Celes in the WOR- an argument could be made that they are the main characters of the story- especially due to their relationship with magic and Espers- Terra as the one born into it, and Celes and the one experimented on...

[Edgar]

One property of a main character is to stick with your party like glue. No character have that property.

If I were to say, then Locke would be the main character as far as WoB goes. The world revolves Celes too...lightly =/.

In WoR, I could be suggested the Celes be the main character but that was only first section of the WoR. Once you get Sabin, the main character property of her slowly dissipates.

[Anderin Range]

Hey you are assuming that we all get Sabin in the World of Ruin EVERY TIME WE PLAY. Sabin, in no way, detracts from Celes's role in the game if he is not there every time. As a challenge was put out for beating the game with Celes, Edgar and Setzer only in the World of Ruin, we can already limit this to them, since they become essential to the plot. No other characters are! Edgar and Setzer had 1 time major roles in the World of Balance and Celes had many... tis clearly Celes.

[Flying Mullet]

Just because a character is required, or that you have to play them, doesn't mean that they are the main character in the game.

[Trumpet Thief]

Umaro was the main character, since the game clearly revolved around him. Not to mention he was the smartest and most wise character in the game, as well as a great fighter. That and the fact that most of the character development was given to him.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I'd say Terra and Celes are both the main characters, but there is no clear cut one like the other games.

Ok, I'm serious

Terra, Celes, Edgar, and Locke are all the main characters

[Palindrome]

All of you are way off. The main character is Interceptor. That dog rocks.

[Sefie1999AD]

Ok, I'm serious

Terra, Celes, Edgar, and Locke are all the main characters

That sounds reasonable, but I'd add Sabin there too. I always tried to make my party of who I consider the main characters, and I had Tina, Celes, Edgar and the 4th position was always a tough choice between Locke and Sabin. Those 5 are who I'd consider the most important characters. Although Setzer is very important to the storyline, and Cyan has a very tragic, emotional storyline. Too many main characters, really. It's almost like if you ask who the main character of all the Star Wars movies (episodes 1-6) is: there's Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker aka (SPOILER)Darth Vader, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Princess Leia etc.
