Edgar Roni Figaro and Sabin Rene Figaro are two characters in the 1994 video game Final Fantasy VI. They are main characters who become allied with characters like Terra Branford and Celes Chere while they battle the Gestahlian Empire and Kefka Palazzo. Edgar is the king of Figaro Castle while Sabin trains in the mountains, a deal they arrived at after Edgar rigged a coin flip in Sabin's favor so he would not have to be king. They are both later separated from the others after the end of the world, though they can be reacquired over the course of the second half of the game. They were created by Soraya Saga, who was responsible for their backstory and dialogue.
They have been generally well received, with the book The Legend of Final Fantasy VI: Creation - Universe - Decryption analyzing them as being two sides of the same coin to create a complete character. Sabin's use of Suplex on an enemy called the Phantom Train was also well-received, with players expressing disappointment with the execution of the scene in the Pixel Remaster version of Final Fantasy VI. This led to Square Enix to update it before the final release of the game.
