{{Main|Characters of Final Fantasy VI}}
''Final Fantasy VI'' features fourteen permanent [[player character|playable characters]], the most of any game in the main series, as well as several secondary characters who are only briefly controlled by the player. The starting character, [[Terra Branford]], is a reserved half-human, half-esper girl who spent most of her life as a slave to the Empire, thanks to a mind-controlling device, and is unfamiliar with love.<ref name="Slave Crown">{{cite video game|title=Final Fantasy III |developer=Square Co |publisher=Square Soft |date=1994-10-11 |platform=Super NES |quote='''Wedge:''' Not to worry. The Slave Crown on her head robs her of all conscious thought. She'll follow our orders.}}</ref> Other primary characters include [[Locke Cole]], a treasure hunter and rebel sympathizer with a powerful impulse to protect women; [[Celes Chere]], a former general of the Empire, who joined the Returners after being jailed for questioning imperial practices; [[Edgar Roni Figaro]], a consummate womanizer and the king of Figaro, who claims allegiance to the Empire while secretly supplying aid to the Returners;<ref name=Edgar>'''Locke:''' On the surface, Edgar pretends to support the Empire. The truth is, he's collaborating with the Returners, an organization opposed to the Empire. I am his contact with that group... The old man you met in Narshe is one of us. {{cite video game|title=Final Fantasy III |developer=Square Co |publisher=Square Soft |date=1994-10-11 |platform=Super NES}}</ref> [[Sabin Rene Figaro]], Edgar's independent brother, who fled the royal court to hone his [[martial arts]] skills; [[Cayenne Garamonde|Cyan Garamonde]], a loyal knight to the kingdom of Doma who lost his family and friends when Kefka poisoned the kingdom's water supply; [[Setzer Gabbiani]], a habitual gambler, thrill seeker, and owner of the world's only known airship; [[Shadow (Final Fantasy VI)|Shadow]], a [[ninja]] mercenary who offers his services to both the Empire and the Returners; [[Relm Arrowny]], a young but tough artistic girl with magical powers; [[Strago Magus]], Relm's elderly grandfather and a [[Gameplay of Final Fantasy|Blue Mage]]; [[Gau (Final Fantasy VI)|Gau]], a [[feral child]] surviving since infancy on the Veldt; [[Mog (Final Fantasy VI)|Mog]], a pike-toting [[Moogle]] from the mines of Narshe; [[Characters of Final Fantasy VI#Umaro|Umaro]], a savage but loyal [[yeti]] also from Narshe, talked into joining the Returners through Mog's persuasion; and [[Gogo (Final Fantasy VI)|Gogo]], a mysterious, fully shrouded master of the art of mimicry.

Most of the main characters in the game hold a significant grudge against the Empire and, in particular, [[Kefka Palazzo]], who is one of the game's main antagonists along with [[Emperor Gestahl]]. The clownish Kefka became the first experimental prototype of a line of magically empowered soldiers called Magitek Knights, rendering him insane; his actions throughout the game reflect his demented nature.<ref name="NPC in Vector">{{cite video game|title=Final Fantasy III |developer=Square Co |publisher=Square Soft |date=1994-10-11 |platform=Super NES |quote='''(NPC in Vector)''' That guy Kefka? He was Cid's first experimental Magitek Knight. But the process wasn't perfected yet. Something in Kefka's mind snapped that day...!}}</ref> The supporting character [[Ultros (character)|Ultros]] is a recurring villain and [[comic relief]]. A handful of characters have reappeared in later games.
