Square Co., Ltd.'s computer role-playing game Final Fantasy VI features fourteen permanent player characters, the largest number of any game in the Final Fantasy
series, as well as a number of characters who are only briefly controlled by the player.

Main playable characters

Terra Branford

:"A mysterious young woman, controlled by the Empire, and born with the gift of magic..." Terra Branford (ティナ Tina) is a girl of mysterious origins born with the power of magic. Terra is the first character to be introduced and her background is pivotal to the events of the first half of the story. In the Japanese version of the game, her job class is given as "Mage Knight".

Terra is the daughter of the Esper Maduin and a human mother, Madonna. Her heritage as a magical being is the source of her powers. Terra was raised as a soldier of the Empire after Gestahl's forces attacked the Espers' home and captured several of the creatures. Her potential was quickly realized and she's said to have once destroyed fifty Magitek-equipped Imperial soldiers in an exercise. When the game begins, Terra is wearing a slave crown that suppresses her free will and gives the Empire complete control over her. An encounter with a frozen Esper in the mines of Narshe frees her, but leaves her as an amnesiac. She is rescued by the Returners, an underground anti-Empire resistance movement, and eventually joins its ranks.

After the destruction of the Floating Continent, Terra finds her way to Mobliz, and has lost the will to fight. She looks after the children with Duane and the pregnant Katarin, until one day when Phunbaba, a monster that had defeated her before, attacks; she assists the party in defeating him once and for all, and joins them. Although she is expected to fade along with the rest of the Espers when magic disappears from the world, when she is about to do so, Katarin goes into labor, and Terra's connection to her allows her to stay in the world, while the diving airship saves her from plummeting to the earth.

Terra's special skill, Morph, does not appear until later in the game. Contact with an Esper unleashes her hitherto unknown Esper form: a flying, glowing whitish-purple figure with wild hair. Afterwards, she possesses the ability to switch between human and Esper forms. When in Esper form her physical power, magical power and magical defense all double. However, she can only keep the form for a limited period of time. Additionally, when riding MagiTek armor, Terra has access to a number of unique techniques, including Bio Blast, Confuser, TekMissile and X-Fer, and is one of only two characters with the ability to learn magic without the aid of Espers, although her magic is relatively limited until she acquires the Espers.

Locke Cole

:"Treasure hunter and trail-worn traveler, searching for the world over for relics of the past..." Locke Cole (ロック Lock) is a thief, though he personally prefers to identify himself as a "treasure hunter." In the Japanese version of the game, his job class is given as "Adventurer."

Locke was in love with a woman from Kohlingen named Rachel, who would occasionally accompany Locke on his travels. During one such treasure hunt, Rachel suffers from injuries which lead to amnesia; she later has no idea who Locke is. Locke, heartbroken and angry, leaves Kohlingen, and during his absence, the town is attacked by the Empire. Rachel loses her life during the attack, but regains her memory before she dies. Her last word is Locke's name. Blaming himself for Rachel's death, he searches for a way to restore her to life; his success is only temporary, but Rachel convinces him to not blame himself, and sacrifices the life that the Phoenix magicite has given her to restore its power. His anger towards the Empire also leads him to ally himself with the Returners, and he performs various missions for them, including smuggling Terra out of Narshe, and serving as Edgar's contact with the resistance movement.

Locke's special skill, Steal, allows him to steal various items from enemies. After equipping a relic called "Thief Glove," Locke's Steal ability turns into Capture. The Capture command steals from an enemy and also inflicts physical damage on its target in the process.

Edgar Roni Figaro

:"The young king of Figaro Castle, ally to the Empire, and a master designer of machinery..." Edgar Roni Figaro (エドガー), is king of Figaro, and secret ally of the Returners. He is also the older twin brother of Sabin. In the Japanese version of the game, his job class is given as "Machinist."

When Edgar and Sabin's father died, neither child wished to inherit the crown. They decided to toss a coin, with the loser agreeing to take their father's place. Edgar, however, could not bear to see the heavy burden of being a king lain upon his brother's shoulders, and used a double-sided coin to ensure that his brother would win the toss. As Figaro's king, Edgar is publicly allied with the Empire, but secretly provides support and aid to the Returners. He is a ladies' man and flirts with every woman--including girls--he meets.
