The characters of Final Fantasy VI have long been a fascinating part of my life. Of course, the characters of many of the older SQUARE titles have given me hours of enjoyment and laughter as well as tears and irritation. One particular aspect of Final Fantasy VI that I felt to be left unspoken – reasonably so, perhaps – was the question of our young heroine. Somewhat timid and uncertain, yet strong and determined. Naïve and innocent, and yet she’d seen and caused so much death. She was passionate and powerful, and yet seemed to embrace and epitomize purity.
One facet of her character that was left to itself was an unacceptable ending for me. So in ‘Terra’ – only the second piece I ever attempted – I opened her eyes and her heart to the possibilities. I gently opened doors and allowed her the discovery of who she was and what she wanted.
