A cosplay couple has recreated two characters from Final Fantasy VI.

Cosplayer Alex Shtein and his partner Yuna Kairi dressed as Final Fantasy VI's Kefka Palazzo and Terra Branford. Shtein credited @okaridane for the detailed cosplays, @blckpww for the wigs and @makeupbydlanor as the artist behind their breathtaking makeup. Terra served as the main protagonist for Final Fantasy VI, while Kefka was the game's main antagonist. Some fans believe the latter is among the evilest villains from the Final Fantasy franchise, largely due to his maniacal laughter and evil smile. Kefka's appearance and sinister nature have also been compared to the Joker from the Batman franchise.

Shtein captioned the series of photos, "You are in my Power, Esper," a reference to Terra's status as half-human, half-Esper. It is Terra's magic that causes the court mage of the Gestahlian Empire to take an interest in her. In addition to Terra and Kefka, Shtein and Kairi have also cosplayed as Final Fantasy VII's Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart. Additionally, they also posed as Final Fantasy VIII's Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly and Final Fantasy XV's Noctis Lucis Caelum and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret.

Cloud is a popular choice among cosplayers at conventions. Reddit user Ace_Aviator99 recently shared their Cloud Strife cosplay, which took them over 100 hours to finish. In addition to the protagonist's iconic spiky locks, they also designed his Buster Sword, taking inspiration from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, an animated spinoff that is set two years after the events of the original game.

Released in 1994, Final Fantasy VI is often an overlooked entry in the popular Square Enix franchise. The Super Nintendo game was the first Final Fantasy directed by someone other than franchise creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. By 2003, Final Fantasy VI had sold over 3.48 million copies between the Super Nintendo and PlayStation versions.

Final Fantasy VI was among the six entries Square Enix decided to remaster for modern platforms. After the first three Final Fantasy titles were released, some players noticed an alteration to the original difficulty level. The remastered versions have reduced the number of random encounters and added a permanent mini-map for players to easily locate treasure chests. In February 2022, the pixel remaster of Final Fantasy VI was released on Steam and mobile devices. The updated game improved both the original title's graphics and audio.

Final Fantasy VI and other entries of Square Enix's Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster are available on Steam and iOS and Android mobile devices.
