*sigh* I wish there were more than 10 poll answers allowed. Anyway, the other choices are obviously Shadow, Strago, Terra, and Umaro. Take your pick.

I think, after much deliberation, I'm going to go with Cyan's. It's very noble, with a touch of sadness; an excellent evocation of his character. It fits him perfectly, and it's a lovely tune as well.

Second place? Kefka. I love how it starts out with his trademark laugh, and then just launches right into the tune. Which, as I described it in another post, is grandiose and whimsical at the same time, and does a very good job of bringing to mind his delusional behavior.

Third place would have to go to Shadow. Very cool, very low-key and laid-back. Doesn't reveal a thing about him. Nice.

Runners-up for me are Gogo's, Relm's, Strago's, Terra's, and Umaro's. Yes, I'm being indecisive, thanks for asking.

Celes - It is one of the all time classic songs fond in games.  It really seems to evoke quite a bit of emotion from me.  That is pretty hard for a game to do.

Shadow's.  It's the most distinctive, and those opening twanging guitar riffs just rule. Setzer comes in a close second, though.

I voted Cyan, but it's actually a tie between him and Shadow. Next come Relm, then Edgar&Sabin, and after that all the others : there's not a single character theme song I dislike.

Kefka. I'm horribly slanted towards favoring villains in works...

Definetly Kefka I just love his cool song.  I think Kefka is like the coolest guy in the whole game.  KoR rules!!!!   Woooooooh!!!

aint superstitious Black cat crossed my trail
I aint superstitious But a Black cat crossed my trail
But Lord has got me so far and I wont let her stop me now
The dogs begin to bark all over my neighborhood
And that aint all
The dogs begin to bark all over my neighborhood
UMmHMm
This is a mean old world to live in and I cant face it by myself

Gau! I think it reflects how he was abandoned and forgotten, yet still managed to grow into a strong young man.

Lou: There's a couple of guys fighting down at the aquarium, Chief.
Wiggum: Do they still sell those frozen bananas?
Lou: I think so.
Wiggum: Let's roll.

it was a choice between Gau, Shadow, or Cyan...

but in the end, the choice had to go to Cyan. A beautifully composed score and an awesome japanese flute part.

Shadow is definitely the best, but as it was missing on the list, I voted for Mog! My second favourite! I love that cheery beat, sometimes I even go to the Narshe mines just to listen to the song, and it's nice to see all the moogles walking around, looking the same.

But all character songs are great.

--------------------

People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast!

I went with Celes' theme.  There's just so much emotion in that piece.

--------------------

"I sat alone and I didn't care,
I sat two years in the same old chair,
I saw three roads but didn't know,
Which way to go-go-go"

My vote was for Celes' theme.  I think it's one of the best melodies, even if I don't like the arrangement in the game or either of the arrangements I have for the piano.

I like Terra's theme a lot, too, but my absolute favorite is Rachel's.  She doesn't rate a spot in the poll, though.  

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

All of them are without a doubt are very fitting for the character they portray, especially Celes. Her theme song seems to symbolize her character and internal struggle longer than anyone else, even Terra; however, I voted for Relm since no one else did and I liked Relm's also.  

Support the underdogs!!!

                        - A friend of mine

I'd have to say Celes, although Cyan, Relm and Terra's were all close ones.

Celes' theme just has one of those timeless qualities, just like the Opera. Besides, I find my self humming it sometimes.

So if you're done reading this, you know I have nothing to say and you've wasted your time. Thank you come again.

I would've voted for Terra's. But it wasn't on there.

And dispite how much I love Kefka. *Hugs Kefka, then gets zapped* Oww... I picked Gogo's. Because it sounds weirder. And I like weird things.

That's not a real good explaination... *shruges* Oh well.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

Money can't buy you happiness.  But it sure can buy a much more tolerable form of misery.

If I were a woman with gills, I would be a fish.

Forget all those Daryl theories, Gogo is Kefka from another dimension!  Don't laugh!  It's true! I even got facts to support it!

Nu save!

Cyan is one of the most beautifal peices ive ever heard. right along side of Cyans music is Kefkas.

I thought we went trough this already?Hmm...I must be going senile.My vote is cut between the Sabin/Edgar theme and Setzers.

--------------------

"Crapola!"-Cefca

I vote Setzer. Why because Setzer is just COOL!

One reason why I have never seen the Gambler occupation before.(that's irrelevant) and he owns his very own airship!

--------------------

I am born from the shadows,
I am skilled in the ways of the dark,
I am the Dark Knight.

my vote goes to terra's theme, which is one of the only good pieces of music in ffvi. v and vi saw uematsu at his worst.

Obviously Celes is the best theme song of FF6, even though Locke is alot cooler, Aerith's theme song is pretty close to Celes..odd..

--------------------

A warrior takes sword in hand,
clasping a gem to his heart...
Engraving vanishing memories
into the sword, He places finely
honed skills into the stone.
Spoken from the sword, handed
down from the stone,
Now the story can be told...

Gau's theme. I'm rather surprised no one has mentioned it at all. It's such an innocent theme, capturing the feel of Gau being a young boy left in the wild, but with the determination to survive. His theme is heard I think twice throughout the entire game, and it fits so well when Gau says

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Father...Alive....h.a.p.p.y....

even after being shunned by his father.

Aside from Gau's theme, I thought Cyan's theme was awesome. Again, it captures his personality. It was a brilliant piece.

Not far down the list is Kefka's theme. It's just oozing with clownish evilness. It has a "no matter what you do, I'll have the last laugh" feel to it.

I definitely liked Gau's theme song the best. It's really sad with the violin playing in the background when Gau meets his father. One of the game's more emotional moments.

Most of the theme songs were gorgeous. I especially liked Terra's, Celes', Shadow's, Cyan's and Relm's.

--------------------

''Peace is but a shadow of death,
desperate to forget it's painful past,
though we hope for promising years,
after shedding a thousand tears
yesterday's sorrow constantly nears,
and while the moon shines blue,
by dawn it will turn a scarelt hue.'' - Kuja

''Then I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over.' - Aeris

I voted for the Edgar/Sabin theme just because its really upbeat and triumphant, like a fanfare. Anyways, I really like all the themes except for Stroggo's. For some reason to me it's bouncy for a 60 yr old...

--------------------

Shhhh! I'm trying to hear the voices!

all theme songs are good in ff6.

i like especially Celes theme, dunno how to describe.

Terra's theme is great, the songs gives a felling like "you dunno what should be done" which match terra's storyline greatly.

Cyan theme is great too.

Lockes theme by far. It fits him perfectly as the brave treasure hunter. Everytime I have to fight with Locke and the moogles to save Terra, I always get a little pumped up since Locke's theme is blasting in the background the whole time.

A close second was Kefka's. I dont know why but I like it, I even have copy of it orchastrated and its even better.

War is for the participants a test of character; it makes bad men worse and good men better. - Joshua Chamberlain

My personal favorite is Celes' theme. It doesn't matter how many times I've listened to it, it still manages to bring a tear to my eye. Call me crazy but I even took the time to learn it on the piano .

A fairly close second would be Kefkas theme, it's just so... Kefka.

I always was a fan of Umaro's. It's just gotta that lumbering beat to it that really scratched my interest. The others are rather bombastic and dramatic (not a bad thing mind you), but there was a nice fun and innocent simplicity to Umaro's song that really fit with the character. Man it's been awhile since I listened to my FFVI soundtrack. I think I'll pop it in when I get home.

i totally loved Kefkas theme, it as so general/psycho like song lol

and of course, the Mog theme, it was weird, funny, and yet i find that i cant stop listening to it at times.

--------------------

I'm your King, Kupo! ~Mog

I voted for Kefka's theme, it fits him the best and describes his personality perfectly.

--------------------

Hiding only delays the inevitable.

1. Shadow
2. Gogo
3. Terra
4. Cyan
5. Strago

I voted for Gogo. It's just cool to sing, as Shadow's is cool to whistle. However, most of the character themes fit their characters very well.
