Speaking of things I missed, I'm guessing Banon just died when Vector was mangled with the Floating Continent? I didn't see his body or a message from him anywhere. And was there anything I missed with Siegfried and his impostor?
Oh yeah, I meant to bring this up when you finished the game but... yeah, those plotlines just kind of are never resolved. Needlessly to say this bugged people for years and years and was the source for an endless amount of conspiracy theories and rumors over the game.

Banon is just assumed to have died after the Empire's betrayal, but fans loved to to assume he was just hiding somewhere in the World of Ruin. A lot of people made theories that he was Gogo, at least the ones that didn't think Gogo was Adlai Stevenson...

Siegfried is even worse since the whole thing all feels like it's building to something but it never does. It doesn't help that the original English translation accidentally spelled his name three separate ways, which made the whole "someone was pretending to be him" thing even MORE confusing. Some people liked to think the imposter was actually Gilgamesh, since they had the same personality, although Gilgamesh actually being added to the GBA version makes it shakier. Another theory is that the imposter was Gogo (needless to say, the mystery behind Gogo's identity was the fuel for a LOT of conspiracy theories. Remember, FFV had not been released when the English version of VI came out, so very few people would accept that it was simply a reference to that game and were convinced there was something more to the character). When this game was being developed, the way you would originally recruit Gogo was by finding them throughout the World of Ruin disguised as your missing party members. The whole thing with Siegfried's imposter might have been a clue that was supposed to point you towards finding this out. The truth may never be known....
