I'm going to be busy for a while, so I though I might as well finish posting the other fanart I did during my recent absence online.
As much as I love Final Fantasy 7, VI is my favorite Final Fantasy of all time. FFVI always brings me a nostalgic feeling. When I picture FF series, this is the one that comes up in my mind. Perhaps because it's set in a world where there is a certain balance between magic and technology, or maybe because of the grand opera feel to the whole story. I don't know. I just love it.
Terra(or Tina in the Japenese version) is my most favorite character in FF6(or 3 in the old SNES system in America) besides Sabin(or Mesh -not sure about this spelling).There are many memorable characters in VI, but for me, she represents VI.
Beautiful and mysterious... Being born from human and esper, Terra had a deep struggle with her identity. Because of her birth, she was used like a weapon by greedy humans, and later, rescued by resistance, she slowly regains her humanity...
And another reason she's my favorit: she can TRANSFORM! That's so cool(Dragon Ball was a bad influence on me). Of course, at a later level when her normal attacks do 9999 damage, this ability becomes kinda pointless, but still so cool.
One thing I don't understand about FFVI is the name changes when they were translated to English. Why Tina to Terra? Why Mesh to Sabin? I actually prefer Terra to Tina because I feel that it suits her better, but Tina is a perfectly fine name, so why change the original? Same thing with Sabin. Was there a Square conspiracy to confuse consumers back then? As if changing the title from 6 to 3 wasn't confusing enough...(Although the title number had to be changed, because they didn't release in the US the other FFs before it.)
I hear that they're releasing a remake. Even though I'll probably never get to play it, I'd love to see it when it comes out.
