I honestly think that would mean it is solely between Terra and Noctis.

Also, while no one in 12 would be a genuine candidate, including it would raise the age old question and the differences between main character, viewpoint character and protagonist. (6 also kinda does, but Terra is the obvious most powerful from those options)

While arguments can certainly be made that Ashe or possibly Balthier are the MC's of XII, Square acts as if Vaan is the MC and he is the first primary character that players will control. The same applies for Terra. I am aware she's optional for the second half of VI (though I would be extremely shocked if she didn't, canonically, rejoin) and both Locke and Celes have at least viable claims to be a MC; but Square treats Terra as the MC, she's the first main one you'll control for a prolonged period, and I'm really not looking to get into a debate about it.
