Coming back to FFVI, this technique is used throughout the entire game(mainly due to the aforementioned technical limitations). When you first meet Celes she is a strong-willed, prideful general whose one purpose is to fight on behalf of her country. Then, during and after the opera scene you realize that she doesn't see herself as only a general anymore, but also as someone who is talented in other fields, and can be something more than what she thought she could only be, and she begins to fall in love with Locke because of his support for her. You see, through interactions with other characters since meeting her you begin to understand Celes, you know that she is one thing, a warrior. Then this happens, and her interactions with others begin to change, if only slightly. You see that she is in fact changing, growing into something new, and by the end whenshe dives to get Locke's headband and their themes intertwine that she is a different character than how she started out, she grew. The same goes for Cyan, early in the story most of what he was was a man mourning the loss of his wife and child, however by the end he gets over his grief and learns to move on, and that is him growing as a person, overcoming his trials and tribulations in order to get on with life. As I stated before that is how people work in REAL LIFE, they don't overcome an obstacle and change immediately, they learn from their experience and slowly grow into someone that people who know them recognize and say “Man, he really has moved on.” It's up to you, the player who has more time than anyone with these characters, to recognize that they are different.
