Thread: Terra or Locke

  1. #1

    Default Terra or Locke

    which would you class as the main character? Some people say Terra, but I would say Locke is the main character because he has a good role in the game.

    Terra. The entire game was based on her and her race, the Espers. You don't have to a leader to be a main character

    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 Terra. Since a friend of mine knows japanese, I was reading a FF13 page from a magazine. It showed the FF13 main character, and Terra. It said the only two games to have the main character Female.

    That's still just the magazine's opinion. Being Japanese doesn't make it infallible.

    And I tend to think that Celes is the main character.

    Yup. I've seen that too. But what about X-2.... I guess nobody counts it....

    X-2 wasnt part of the main series. It was an offshoot.

    I know this thread is going to turn into the endless lectures about how VI has no real main character, but before it does I'll simply say that I feel Terra is the catalyst character. She's the reason for things starting to happen, really. If Terra wasnt there, would Tritoch have reacted? Would Locke and Edger ever have gone to seen Bannon at that time? You get what I mean.

    So yeah. Catalyst character.

    It's similar to the Lord of the Rings. You could make a case for Frodo, Aragorn and Gandalf being the main character (and although a lot of people would say Frodo, I'd disagree) and it's the same with FFVI. Terra, Locke, Celes, and possibly even Edgar have claims to be the main character.

    I'm not trying to say "There is no main character", but rather, "There are three or four main characters".

    I think there is one main character, and it's Terra. She's just... less main than the other Final Fantasy mains.

    Locke was more of a leader than Terra. So I'd have to say Locke.

    Terra is the key character and much of the story is centered around her, and even if she isn't in your party when you beat the game, she shows up. So if I had to choose one, it'd be Terra, but I still think this game has the least focus on one character of any FF game.

    Edgar is as much of a main character as Locke is. I voted Terra however, since she's the first character you control. Technically though you can beat the game without even getting Terra or Locke in the world of ruin.

    but as I noted, Terra will show up after you beat the final boss and participate in the ending regardless...

    Terra. Why?

    1. You start with her. (X-2 aside, every other game starts with the MC)
    2. Her theme plays as the WOB theme.
    3. She's part of the ending whether you got her or not.
    4. She's in the game logo.
    5. IMO, she's the best all around character in the game. (Magically and physically, she can fight well. If that's not enough, she can morph to double the damage.)
