Formerly known as Final Fantasy III in North America, Final Fantasy VI follows a diverse group of heroes as they fight to defeat Kefka, a megalomaniac intent on using a combination of long-lost magic and technology to take over the world.
Sabin and Shadow were my favourite to take into battle, but Celes was always my favourite for story moments like the opera and the beginning part of the World of Ruin.
Sabin's fun to use and all but really the game is secretly about Celes.
Also, I get that you're referring to the game as FF3 because that's probably what you originally knew it as but that doesn't magically make this the correct forum.
I kinda struggled with this one because I really think the cast of characters is really strong both from a story and gameplay perspective. I went with Cyan because his sword abilities are rad and I loved the ghost train section with him.
I remember really connecting with Celes as a result of the plot. Terra and Locke never felt quite as relatable. I also feel like I missed out with how everybody loves Shadow, Sabin, and suplexing trains. I never used them back in the day. I mained Locke, Terra, Edgar, and Celes for most of the game, from what I recall.
@saispag: Sorry about that. I've been staring at the SNES mini interface that shows this, so I CONSTANTLY get them confused as I've been looking at boards for the game.
Wow I didn't know Sabin was so loved. Might have to check him out. I just did the haunted Jidoor event and found out (I think) I lost out on getting Shadow so that's a bummer.
EDIT: forgot to add that I'm actually a big Mog and Terra fan right now. Her morph ability is bananas.
I always liked Edgar for general purpose stuff, at least in the first half of the game. Autocrossbow and Chainsaw are both good, and you can just load him up with magic (like you can anyone) to cover any other roles you want him to cover.
I never used Sabin *that* much because I would always get annoyed by the rare random failed Blitz input, which always seemed to happen during the most clutch moments.
But yeah this is a great roster of party members. I like pretty much all of them. Sabin is awesome he has such a fun combat gimmick and he's just nice kid.
Locke has the highest end game damage potential because he's the only character that an equip both defense ignoring weapons (Valiant Knife and Atma Weapon.) Paired with the Genji Glove and offering, nothing will survive an attack by him. Edgar is good with the jump relics because he can use spears which do more damage than other weapon types with jump. Pretty much anyone can destroy with magic, though I'll usually go with Terra or Celes for that because they can equip the Illumina + Paladin Shield which makes them completely untouchable and teaches Ultima.
If we're talking characters before endgame then I liked Edgar for his tools and Sabin for his Blitz techniques (I voted Vanish + Doom because I don't have a favorite.)
