1) This is kind of stupid since we don't "know" Lightning yet. Stupidity furthered by the fact that it is lame and infantile to compare who is "better.
2) Why is she represented by a palette-swapped Celes?
3) I still maintain that Terra is NOT the main character of FF 6; it centers around a group of people and what happens to their world.

1. Valid Concern, but it'll come up eventually. As I say in the main post, cloud and squall get their petty matchups all the time. Fans like to reflect with whatever character suits them best. Think of it as more fun than stupid. Also, we know as much as we've seen in trailers. And after E3. I think we've seen enough to get at least a prelimary out.
2. I palette swapped celes to look like Lightning. Since both characters have CGI pictures of themselves, and I didn't want the 16-bit sprite art of terra's original in-game appearance to be overwhelmed by CGI Lightning. So I decided to make a 16-bit Lightning and add both of em in there. Besides, Sprite art is fun.
3. Terra is definately the main character of Final Fantasy 6. The story starts because of her, she's the catalyst of many events in the game. Her origin story is the basis of the story. EVERY final fantasy is abou ta group of people and what happens to the world. If you want a better example? Final Fantasy 5. Bartz, Lenia, Galuf and that other dude hang out with you the ENTIRE game. That's about a group of people. Final Fantasy 6. Is mostly about terra.
