At first, no, Terra’s desire to understand love and to find love was on a literal fence.  You might not think that when reading Ted Woolsey’s translation of Final Fantasy VI, since it leaves it ambiguous as hell.  And if she was asking Shadow, of all people, what love means just as she finished talking to Leo, you get the distinct impression most of the Returners were avoiding this topic when it came to Terra.

It’s only until after the world goes to shit, that we see Terra’s concept of love is more maternal in nature, even instinctual, rather than “OH WOE IS ME I NEED A MAN IN MY LIFE SO HE CAN BOINK ME AS I BEND OVER A DESK!”  Granted it could also be solely because the translators and devs were trying to keep it PG-13, but it’s not until this moment, when she finally defeats Phunbana, that she realizes what she feels.  Does Terra immediately latch on to the nearest man she can?  Not even close.  Would she?  Maybe, if she had a proper talk with her friends.
