I believe Sabin does talk to Edgar once ("Don't treat us like strangers anymore!" or some such) but it is kind of jarring that Celes takes the lead on talking to Sabin's twin.

In the World of Balance, if you keep helping the injured soldier send messages (you have to rest after each one for a reply to arrive) he'll eventually give you an accessory that lets your recover HP by walking around. It is not particularly useful. I believe that if you put off the sidequest until you get the airship, then his girlfriend in Maranda also gets updated dialogue for each letter.

I've always figured that Kefka is one hundred percent lying about Celes in order to sow discord in the party, myself. I mean. It's Kefka.

Now, I do think it's best to give dubious claims the benefit of the doubt in video games, if the game itself doesn't go out of its way to contradict or call attention to them. After all, the writers decided to put it in, we might as well assume they had a reason, right? But in this case, we do get explicitly told that Kefka was lying. To be fair, the statement is made by Emperor Gestahl during the banquet, so its veracity is questionable. It is conceivable that Gestahl, who still hopes to persuade Celes to be part of his New World Order, is lying to the party about whether or not they can trust Celes in the hope that he can get her to betray them... even though that didn't really work out for him the first time. It is also possible that Kefka is full of crap. I know where I'd put my money.

Plus, Cid switches sides like thirty seconds after reuniting with Celes, it seems like it's pretty easy for people to go "Gosh, I just realized the Empire is evil!"
