Just post your thoughts here. I hope this isn't against the rules. If so, I'm really sorry!

If you don't like some of the romances in the game, feel free to post your own ideas.

I don't like the whole Locke and Celes thing...maybe it's because they don't really look good together, in my opinion...maybe it's Celes's cape...and it seems like Locke promised himself to Terra, but when he met Celes he forgot about her until Celes left, then he went back to Terra, but when he saw Celes again, he was back with her.

And I think Celes should've been with Edgar. I mean, I know she wouldn't be fazed by his flirting, but I think eventually she could've grown to like him...or perhaps Sabin...although Edgar seems more mature, and I think Celes needs that.

Plus, I think Celes and Edgar look good together.

2 blondes with capes...yeah.

Celes and Shadow wouldn't be too bad...I used to wonder if they had talked any before Terra and Locke came to the ship with them...but then I thought, with their personalities, it's unlikely they interacted at all.

I think Terra & Locke would make a good couple. They look good together, and they work well together. I thought they should've gotten together. I mean, Terra wanted to love and be loved, but she never really got any one guy for her.

I also think Relm & Gau would be cute... I can see Gau saving Relm from the monsters on the Veldt...Relm might think Gau was strange at first, but I think she'd like him.

How about you? I hope I didn't upset any Locke/Celes supporters.

The makers deliberately didn't put any two charactors together so we could form our own opinions on them. (I reckon)

Terra/Leo I think had a possibility. (The talk on the boat to Thasma and how 'it was well sweet') But alas

he was stabbed

, shame.

Celes/Locke/Terra, difficult one. Locke is really upset about Rachel but cares for Celes. Celes cares for Locke but not in the same way. Locke also cares for Terra. Terra is just confused. So basically Locke is a man slag.

Edgar/Celes, interesting suggestion, could work.

Sabin/Anyone, I think Sabin is homosexual, but I don't think anyone else was so I see nothing for him out of the group.

Gau/Relm, despite the age difference I reckon this could have a chance (when Relm is 16, Gau's gonna be about 21 though).

Shadow/Anyone, too emotional, too many demons, can't see it happening.

Cyan/Anyone, too old, sorry.


Nice topic

(spoilers ahead people watch out!)

Well i believe a relationship forming between terra and edgar is hinted to

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

in the ending when you see them on the airship and it shows figaro, both edgar and terra wave. This i think is the beginning of a reltationship for the two of them.

Relm and gau Thought about it, really it might actually work, but i dont think she could still be a pictomancer around gau, who knows what could happen.

Locke and celes are almost completely comfired in the game as a couple. If you look at various key sceens in the game you start to note there affection for one another.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Like when cid dies and celes throws her self off the cliff, the bandana she finds of locke tells her he's still alive and gives her hope. Or if you save cid, he says a line something like "you bring the locke fellow back here to meet me." or something like that.

I honestly dont think sabin would want a girl, as part of his training i think he really just is a loner. He is someone who i feel from how he's presented in the game, as a loner.

Cyan, to be honest any random girl would do as long as she is strong in her morals. I mean he had a wife and kid once, and he's been tortured by it. But i also dont think he's lible get another girl.

Go back and replay those areas, only this time, pretend that Locke is treating Terra as his younger sister. Suddenly, everything makes a lot more sense.

The bond shared between Celes and Locke was pretty obvious. I've never had much interest in their relationship (I would've been more interested if she chose Setzer, somehow), but I do think it's mutual and perfectly understandable. With Terra, he was merely trying to act as a protector, not a lover. Maybe he WANTED to find a new love, but I didn't think he was able to until he met Celes. There are all sorts of relationships besides romantic ones, let's think outside the box.

The 'Terra & Edgar' pairing at least sounds more plausible than Celes & Edgar or Terra & Locke. I felt he got along better with Terra, or rather Terra got along with him better than Celes did (perhaps because Terra was oblivious at the start?) Still, I didn't think their relationship was in any way romantic. We all know Edgar's naturally flirtatious and I believe it's only normal he, Locke and the others would care for Terra... Now, wouldn't you if had been traveling together and known what she went through?

Sabin, on the other hand, showed no interest in romantic love. Good man. As for Relm & Gau...? That one makes no sense to me. There was little to interaction between the two and neither of them looked to be the mushy type anyhow. Closeness in age tells me nothing, really... Which brings me to Cyan.

Cyan/Anyone, too old, sorry.

He was only 50 (?), mature but hardly 'old' in the grand scheme of things. Either way, I think there is no such thing as 'too old' for love.. Loving and being loved is a right to human beings in general, and to someone like Cyan in particular considering his personality and background. He did advise Lola (whom he empathised with) to rediscover Love... which probably means that's what he himself was willing to do, eventually.
Personally, I would've been more interested the relationship of a character like Cyan or Shadow rather than your common brave young man & fair young maid.

Shadow told Terra that he killed (or at least tries to kill) his emotions when she spoke about Love. Though considering that he risked his life to save the group on the floating continent, I wouldn't say he succeeded in that even if his excuse was simply to repay them. Does that mean he was in love with the entire group? No. My point is that they all cared about their companions without necessarily being in love with any of them. The world is wide, and romance isn't exactly everyone's priority!

Random game quote of the day:
"Wilt thou change this world... Or wilt thou change thyself?"
(Water Dragon, Chrono Cross)

I don't think Leo and Terra would have hooked up, Leo seemed more like a guiding figure to her. To be honest, no one was really within Terra's age range. I think Edger and Terra were a possibility, but that doesn't mean it actually was going to happen. I think Terra's quest for love was for any kind of love. I think she found it in the remains of Tzen when she learned to care for the children of the village. I think it was then and only then did she realize what true love was.

Thats moblize and i think you are on that aspect, though i do feel that there are parts in the game hinting at a relationship between terra and edgar.

With regards to terra and locke. Locke is a complex character when it comes to women, he's the exact oppisite of edgar, in the fact that he isnt a lecherous or flirtatous man. Locke lost a very important women in his life, he feels that he could of protected her if he was there. Because of this locke goes out of his way to protect any women he can when they need protecting. If not for love but just as a way to, in his mind, make right what happened to rachel. This is why he was summoned at the begining of the game to find and protect terra. They knew that because of his personality that he would protect any women in need. Through out the game he continues his role as gaurdian, by going where ever terra goes to gaurd her. When celes comes into the picture however, he finds something different. Terra and celes were both generals for the empire that killed his love. But celes also showed femmine traits and a soft gentle side. Which terra had neither the capacity for, nor the need for. She was mearly confused and trying to find direction. Celes already had direction, but was in need of some one strong to help her. She may of been a general but that doesnt mean she didnt still need someone to help her and to protect her.

Wow, those are all really interesting thoughts.

I agree, I don't think Sabin really needed to be with anyone. He's like the guy who everyone's friends with, and who they can count on, but that their just friends...does that make sense?

And I also think that Cyan didn't really need to be with anyone...he was still grieving, of course, but it was nice that he wanted to help Lola and her boyfriend...or was he her husband?

Oh, yeah, about Setzer...I think that he and Celes may have made an O.K. couple...I mean, they had that moment together on the airship...and Celes is kinda like Darill, or at least more like her than the other girls.

I always thought Sabin and Terra. They were both kind of innocent at first but grew up during the course of the game.
