Why Terra?

[Avathar]

Terra Branford is the main character of FFVI.
Locke Cole is the hero of FFVI.

It was on the original game.

I don't think that a person being in a logo implies they are the main character. Cecil was obviously the main of FFIV, but Kain was on the logo. And Meteor was on the FFVII logo.

Seriously, I've debated this topic more times than I can count. I've settled on a conclusion, though.

Final Fantasy VI is awesome because it has no absolute main character. Obviously, certain characters play more substantial roles than others, but without the main group of people in that game, the story could not be complete.

You don't even have to have Terra to beat the game. That says a lot, right there. I know, the same could be said of Chrono Trigger, but Crono is a much more obvious main character than Terra. For one thing, he's the only one in the game who never talks. That alone sets him apart from all the other characters. But Terra is no more important than Locke, Celes, Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, and a few others. I really don't consisder Setzer, Strago and Relm to be that important because they only come into the picture (story-wise) right before WoR, and after that, you can choose to never see them again. You have them for about as long as you have Banon. And Setzer is just the guy who supplies the airship for you. His role is minimal because anyone could be the airship supplier, if you know what I'm getting at.

Anyway, play through the game again, if you have the time. That might help to clarify Terra's level of importance. She's super important to the story, but so are many others.

This is what makes Final Fantasy VI one of the best video games ever. It sort of broke the storyline mold, if you will. RPG's were quite formulaic, and FF6 messed with that formula and produced a game unlike any other.

Please notice I never once said Terra was the main character.

But that's not really the original. It's a substitute.

Thats a new logo made for Final Fantasy Anthologies the games didn't use the current logo until post 7

My post was in response to that.

Edit: And "a magazine" doesn't cut it ^_^ I want to know what magazine made this mistake

There is no magazine. He's just a Locke fan who wants to pretend that Locke was originally the main character but had that status unjustly seized from him. And since no one would believe that if he just said it, he made up a fake source in an attempt at credibility. Unfortunately for him, "a magazine" is pretty transparent in that regard.

FAN being a key word here.

[theundeadhero]

Fan-art that doesn't prove anything. All it does is express an opinion. For all we know, you made it.

[Slade]

I've seen that fan art before....I always wondered why Locke was on there.

[Eiko Guy]

terra is the main character because you start the game with her and she has to do things that she doesnt want to

ill edit it in the morning

[TheAbominatrix]

What the hell does that fan art prove? I mean.... jeez, there's fan art showing Locke and Edgar having sex, does that mean that they're in love/lust in the game? Nope.

As for why Locke is in a picture of FF heroes, it's quite simple. He's a hero of the game. He's not the main character, but he's a heroic male. There's fan art of 'Final Fantasy heroines', with Rydia, Reina, Terra, Tifa, Rinoa, Garnet, and Yuna... and that doesnt make them the main characters of their respective games. It's fan art.

And I agree wholeheartedly with Kishi that you're making this magazine article up. You have no proof whatsoever, after all.

Oh look at this fan art... Selphie, I guess you just got bumped up to the main character of Final Fantasy VIII! Congrats! You too, Aerith! Despite the fact that Cloud is the undesputed main character. Cause fan art makes all the difference.

Locke and Edgar having sex? Eww that was sick real sick i don't beleive in Yaoi/Yuri. And if you are thinking about the other heroines you are looking for Rosa Faris Tifa and Rinoa alright?

[theundeadhero]

You don't tug on Superman's cape.
You don't spit into the wind.
You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,
and you don't argue with Kishi about FF.
A doo doot doo doo doo doot.

OOC:	That picture is beautiful, btw.

I really dont care if you dont believe in yaoi. I was making a point. Fan art has know bearing on the actual games. And really, dont waste your time dictating to me who the other heroines are.

undeadsexer: Yeah, I have loads and loads of gorgeous FF art. Nice song, btw <3
