Who's Celes' Man?

I'd say LockexCeles is more canon than SetzerxCeles. Remember that it's finding Locke's bandana that renews Celes' hope if Cid dies ("he's alive...Locke's alive!", not "he's alive...Setzer's alive!"). The only SetzerxCeles moments happen in the ending if you don't find Locke.
 
Bah, if anyone's gay, it's Edgar. It's called reaction formation. And Locke's the one hunting for royal treasures, if you know what I mean. :monster:
 
I don't remember the bandanna scene, is that just in the movies and not in the pixel version? I can't remember.

They're actually pretty similar situations, both of them are rebels with tiny weapons who are reminded of their ex-girlfriends who encountered Celes in a submissive situation (in chains, singing about a man like a diva) and are then impressed by her strong mind and will and combat abilities.

It's actually very similar to the Locke/Terra/Edgar triangle. Edgar is like Setzer in that they're both gallant long-haired well-dressed rich guys with mobile fortresses, mechanical weapons and a small army at their command.

The thing is, with the Celes issue, I'm not sure she should end up with either one of them. I think Gogo is secretly Setzer's girlfriend with amnesia, and Locke still pines for Rachel who died. She's gotta come back!

Plus you can't help but think Locke might have something going with Terra. I think mainly the reason that went nowhere is because Terra had such an alien sort of attitude and he probably felt like he'd be taking advantage of her or something, whereas Edgar doesn't seem to be worried about that when he flirts. Although I think they both take a bit of a big brother role.

The bandanna scene is in the original, but only if you let Cid die after Celes wakes up in the World of Ruin.

Yeah, actually I never thought of Celes and Setzer, until this poll. I didn't see any evidence in the game that was outright, unlike with Celes and Locke, although I hear that if you don't get Locke in WoR, Celes and Setzer have a cheesy moment together.

Locke does show a lot of affection for Rachel, but the obvious message is for him to move on. Unfortunately, there were way too many characters, so the creators wouldn't be able to only focus on a few.

I didn't really see much in the line of LockexTerra either, except in the very beginning. After meeting Celes, however, that tune changes.
 
Locke is Definitly Celes' man! I mean he's the one who rescued her! Setzer goes and kidnaps Celes because he thinks she's someone else! Rescuing = love, Kidnapping = scaryobssessedmaniac!

Setzer's thing for Celes was basically an obsession where as what was between Locke and Celes was more of love
 
I never really saw VI as having a love triangle. I think it was obvious that Celes was going to end up with Locke.

Although I think she would have been best with Edgar. For some reason I just see their personalities being quite compatible with each other.
 
There is Locke/Rachel/Celes love triangle and I would have seen Locke with Rachel and Celes with Edgar. Setzer might have suited best with Terra.
 
I don't think Setzer would fit with Celes - I still believe, currently anyway (playing FFVI again after so long), that Setzer still loves Daryl somewhere inside. Locke, possibly Celes. Edgar - who knows!
 
I think that Celes x Setzer would be my favored pairing. They're both my favorite characters from the game. And then again, I have my own crazy little obsession with Setzer...>.>;
 
I really think Locke has this one. He just seems to care for her as herself, even if he may have at first used her to replace Rachel in his mind and heart.

Actually, you could say that he belongs with Celes, because he once used her as a substitute for Rachel. Going off of cliches, it was to be expected that Celes would then help Locke get over Rachel, and then learn to love Celes for herself. Thus, in epic-plot-world, since Celes helped develop Locke's character, she must be his true wuv.
 
I think Locke would end up with Celes, Setzer would end up with a non-main character; and Terra would likely end up with Edgar since he expressed interest in her when they first met.
 
I think it's fairly obvious that CelesxLocke was intended to be the canon relationship in FFVI. Do I think that TerraxLocke and CelesxSetzer could have worked under different circumstances? Yes, but Locke and Celes clearly have a thing for each other. I mean, finding Locke's bandana restored Celes's will to live, first of all. Really, that sort of thing speaks for itself, if you ask me. Not to mention the opera scene, during which Locke is drooling over her, and the fact that they pretty much become instantly infatuated the moment they first see each other.

As for Celes reminding Locke of Rachel...I'm not so sure that that's entirely true. Personally, I just think that Locke just feels guilty about falling for Celes because he doesn't want to feel as though he's replacing her. His feelings for Celes are genuine, but at the same time, he's afraid to move on and probably feels a bit bad about not being there for Rachel. Really, Locke is probably confused, scared, and guilty about all that's happening. Nevermind the fact that he's currently intertwined in a battle to save a dying planet. That doesn't exactly leave him with much time to focus on his love life, now, does it?

And, when you think about it, how many CelesxSetzer moments are there in the game? He always struck me as something of a flirt, so the fact that he hit on Celes from time to time was never anything special to me. When it comes down to it, she might've been just another pretty face in his eyes. The fact that she reminded him of Maria was just icing on the cake. I'm not going to say that there was absolutely nothing there, but whatever feelings there were between the two was completely one-sided on Setzer's part. Never once does Celes indicate that she prefers him over Locke.

If you take Locke out of the picture, I think CelesxSetzer could potentially work out. However, CelesxLocke just has so much more...substance, I suppose. Its hints were common and pretty obvious at times. The two show what could very easily be considered genuine interest in one another which would surely turn into something special after that whole "stop the apocolypse" ordeal.
 
I think Locke, as soon as they met each other they connected. It helped that Locke was the one to save her which gave them a bond. And Locke also helped Celes through the times she felt low in herself
I think Terra is the kunda person to be single while setzer is just a womaniser which means he just goes from one to another breaking hearts
