Thanks for the Mog info, a shame I'm stranded on this one continent now! And I have a relic that changes Slot to Gil Toss if that's what you mean, colliding. Haven't used it though.

This topic is making me want to play this game again, and I still need to play all the other FFs some time!

Maybe I'll direct that feeling to a playthrough topic of a different FF.
My fav part of doing these topics is getting others itching to play the games again!

I wasn't planning to play today but did a little bit anyway. I had to see what happened next, and our grand plot twist is... dinner with the Emperor. Huh. Not what I expected! Vector is a mess when we arrive, and Banon is weirdly shocked at the Espers having done this- isn't this exactly what we wanted them for? Anyway the Emperor wants to sue for peace and officially ends the war, then we have a minigame to talk to as many soldiers as possible. I wasn't sure if I'd get locked out of this area afterwards so I make some mistakes here, going out of my way to pick up chests and talking to Kefka in jail which wastes several seconds. Oh yeah, Kefka is in jail for his poisoning shenanigans.

I get 23 soldiers in total, and then we have an incredibly awkward dinner conversation that feels like we're taking part in a test. Gestahl is very apologetic but we have many optional questions to ask and answer, I left a save before Vector so may go back and try the other options later. It was very tempting to select 'Execute Kefka', but I resisted. He basically insists that the Esper massacre means his war is done, but I don't buy it for a second. This is a guy who wanted to raid the ends of the world and the next to gain power, and no way he wasn't aware of what Kefka was capable of when he hired him. Thankfully the crew isn't dim, they all assume the same thing.

Nonetheless we agree to go with the plan he proposes- sending Terra to Crescent Isle to calm the Espers. Everyone is skeptical of the Empire so... they decide to stay here in the capital, surrounded by soldiers, leaving Terra alone. Maybe not such a wise call, guys. Locke goes with Terra, because... he thinks of every woman as a chance to make good on his failed promise to Rachel? He wants to get over Celes so is hopping on the only other woman nearby? He thinks he's the main character? Who knows, but he's going, and it's a two person party. General Leo, the 'ethical' war general, will join us.

I mean clearly something is going on here, the easy answer is Gestahl's just using Terra's power to his own ends, but idk. This many soldiers couldn't be all tricking us, so he must be keeping the truth kept between him and Kefka? IDK. I'm wary of General Leo too, I know these kinds of games absolutely love the Noble General in Bad Guy's Army trope but given that he's accompanying us there's reason to worry. Unless Gestahl is just keeping Leo and Terra out of the way while he springs whatever his plan is on everyone else in Vector.

We get a bunch of items from the unlocked armoury in that abandoned outpost, and I wait outside Albrook. One of the elephants in the room: where is Celes? Gestahl claims Kefka was lying about her still siding with the Empire, but she isn't anywhere to be found in Vector. I really feel like the gang is making a massive mistake splitting up like this, but at least they're all on guard and not trusting Gestahl. We'll see exactly how things go south next time!
