Okay, so lots of plot (or at least action). Kuja reappears with Bahamut and invades Alexandria. Steiner and Beatrix take to the streets to fight the Mist monsters and resolve to just go down fighting.

Dagger walks up to the tower of the magically sealed Alexandria Castle where she's mysteriously drawn. Eiko feels a similar compulsion from the airship headed over from Treno, and she dives down and unites with Dagger. Their gems touch and they summon Alexander who manifests only as two giant, feathered wings surrounding the castle, with laser-beams that annihilate Bahamut.

Kuja tries to gain control of Alexander using the same big-ass eye in the sky that he used for Bahamut, but some rando dude (named Garland?) appears in a random cutscene from far away instead, and he takes control of the Eye and makes some assertions about Kuja's cause or backstory or whatever and how he's chosen to stay on Gaia.

Zidane gets to play hero to the damsel in distress randomly at the end as Alexandria Castle is finally razed. No battles happen, which is... a disappointment, I'd say. Steiner and Beatrix's battles vs Mist monsters weren't interesting fights, but at least they provided some action.

We all wake up in Lindblum, and man, this writing is... not good here. Other than Steiner and Beatrix going down with the ship, the dialogue here is all kind of terrible. I also am afraid the game is approaching the endgame already, since a showdown with Kuja feels kind of imminent at this point, but it feels like we haven't gotten nearly enough since we returned from the northern continent. The only highlight really has been Eiko's

It looks like the next major thing to happen will be us gaining access to a beloved FF trope, the airship.
