Final Fantasy 6 opinion question. Was Celes underdeveloped as a character?

I agree that Celes was an underdeveloped character. Compared to Terra, pretty much all of the characters were underdeveloped. (I always wanted more on Shadow myself.) I suppose they didn't spend much time developing characters back when they made that game. I still got the feeling that Celes was a favorite of the creators, though. Like you said, Celes was central to the second half of the game, and, even though most people probably expected Locke to be romantically involved with Terra, he kind of swayed toward Celes more. (I know they don't really go deep into the relationship between the two, but the act is there.) She even has more of a personality than Terra, who, like you said, is pretty much a blank slate. Honestly, due to the whole blank slate thing, I found Terra a very boring character. I would have liked to see much more depth in all of the characters besides Terra. The way they did things really made the characters feel unbalanced with each other. Final Fantasy VI is still one of my favorites in the series, though, despite their lack of character development.
