FFVI has Terra in one half, Celes in the second - though I think Terra is the most important one the whole way through. These main character arguments are usually pretty silly, but I've never heard one that says the one you control is the lead. If you focus purely on the story, separate of the gameplay, who's the main character of FFXII? Vaan or Ashe?
This post amuses me because if you're going purely by overall story relevance Edgar is actually the main character of FFVI.
In fact Terra and Celes only get brought up because they're the first character you control in the two halves. Well, Terra I can see an argument for her being the most story relevant in the first half, but I wouldn't really say she's relevant in the way a main is usually relevant. She's a driving force behind the plot, sure, but she's more like a piece of the plot than a character.
