    Default FFIV Logo: Cecil or Kain?

    I've always thought that the character in the logo for FFIV was Cecil. But the other day I was reading this post and after going to the character page on this site and clicking on the Kain link saw that the Amano art for Kain is the same character that is part of the FFIV logo.

    So what do you think? Is art that the 'official site' uses for Kain incorrect, or have I been wrong thinking that the character in the FFIV logo is Cecil?

    Actually, I always thought it was Terra in the Magitech Armor.

    That's FFVI.

    And it is defintely Kain. His pose in the logo is the EXACT same as the Amano art. Cecil's art involves white... lots of it. He is a paladin, after all. So yes, you have been wrong in thinking it has been Cecil. No offense intended.

    Cain:


    Cecil:

    I'm fairly certain it's Cain.

    Wow, it DOES say FFVI. People need to learn their Roman numerals a bit better.

    Of course it's Kain. Who else is awesome enough to grace the cover (and DON'T say Wolverine or Chuck Norris).
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Hmm... how could it not be Kain?

    I wonder what he looks like without the helmet... I can only know that his hair is down to his shoulders...

    Kain Obviously

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    It's called a transposition error, look at the rest of my post and you'll see that I had it correct.

    Back to topic.

    So why would Kain be on the logo? Since Cecil is the main character it doesn't really make sense for it to have Kain in the logo.

    Because it probably looked better, Cecil's Dark Knight Artwork is very ugly... and it's not always the main character...

    In fact, it's not really the main character often at all. Only VI, VIII, and X-2 have the main characters on their logos.

    I would say that Terra shares the title of main character, she was the catalyst that started the whole storyline.
