My favorite character in the game was Celes from a gameplay standpoint and a storyline standpoint. I enjoyed the first parts of the World of Ruin that deal with her finding out what happened to all of her friends before the dialogue becomes generic and cheapened, a bit.

I realize that this is an old post. No one in the thread mentioned that Gau is actually only 13 years old.

Well despite what his real age might be, he's 15~ish as far as I'm concerned. At least from what I remember, the concept art for him makes him look about that age, and he just doesn't strike me as a kid who's 13 in any regard given his circumstances. Relm definitely looks like she's 13 though.

Sabin is probably my favourite character, I just find it easy to relate to someone who wants to run away from a large amount of responsibility that's been dumped onto his shoulders.

Celes and Terra come in joint second, both have tragic and intriguing back stories, like pretty much the entire cast, but I feel there's were the best explored. I'm also a bit of a sucker for Red Mages...

I think the developers focused too much on putting in as many playable characters as possible and that ended up hurting a lot of them.

Well Mog has some depth since one of those Moogles who help you is actually his girlfriend and that "no encounter"-relic is her relic. Mog could have been also angsty about all his species dying but Cyan´s friends and family were murdered too and Red XIII in next game is angsty about being last of his kind.

Umaro, what do you want from him? He is just beast with childlike mind. He doesn´t have to be some lost prince from outer space whose planet was killed by Kefka and he is on eart trying to stop him but he has amnesia since his ship crashed.

That's one of the reasons MY FAVORITE FFVI character is Umaro. He doesn't need some sort of background in order to be the bad ass yeti that he is (Backgrounds are cool, i'm just sayin'..) I actually find some deepness in him for personal reasons Aside My uncle being a sasquatch hunter. Umaro reminds me of a part of myself. and other stuff i don't feel like explaining .... -plays chrono cross-...My girlfriends favorites are Celes and Mog.

Formerly Terra. I understand the game too well to have one. I'm at that point where I don't need one if that means anything.

Tough call, but thinking back to when I played my favorite characters to use were always Sabin and Mog.
Story wise though I'm not sure, most of them have pretty good ones.
Terra is obviously the one who the whole tale pivots around but I never really liked her for some reason. Locke, since he's there from the start as well. Setzer always cheers me up tho...

bah
too hard

Battle Wise, my favorites are locke and Sabin. Sabin's bum rush is my most frequently use move in the game, and when equiped with a special rune (the Genji Glove I think), Locke can steal twice in rapid succesion, and with the theif's glove equipped, it was useful in early boss fights (attack twice and a high chance of stealing an item, I'm game). Also, Celes' runic is really useful, and I switch between Terra, Edgar, and Shadow as my fav fourth party member.

Story wise; Both Locke and Shadow's stories of redeemption really got to me, but Celes always choked me up.

Kefka cause of his laugh and his sexy body at the end of the game.
