The airship carrying Ceodore, Biggs, and Wedge back to Baron gets downed, in a surprisingly emotional moment with Biggs’ sacrifice. Babil is back and flipping out.
Oh, and the GHL (“Green-haired lady”) somehow turned LEVIATHAN AND ASURA TO FREAKING STONE HOW ARE YOU SO POWERFUL GHL.
Thoughts/notes from this part:
Airship
-What’s up with Biggs? He really can’t take a “thank you.”
-Wedge, I like you, but chill the fuck out about Rosa and Cecil. Ceodore kind of doesn’t like the implications that he can’t decide his own future.
-THAT’S A LOT OF FLOATY EYES ATTACKING
-----
Castle Baron
-Cecil. Dude. Don’t leave Rosa behind. She’s a white mage, not a piece of glass!
-CECIL: “The castle gate is secure, and yet monsters are within the keep.”
…Cecil. Have you noticed the monsters are all fliers? They aren’t going to use the door. You’re outside.
-CECIL: “So that’s why! The monsters are coming from the sky.” …yes.
-TWO MOONS!
-Montage!
-lololol @Cid’s new portrait. So much beard.
-New Moon: Black magic (unsure), white magic down, physical attacks unaffected.
-Fake!Rydia summons freaking BAHAMUT????
Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha
Hahahaha
Sorry, laughing at Bahamut’s combat sprite imposed on Castle Baron.

Feymarch and Around
-How is fake!Rydia so powerful?
-Edge! Hi!
-She turned Asura and Leviathan to stone!!
-Babil’s back. And the tower looks PISSED.
-Luka’s sprite looks awesome.
----
Airship
-NOOO It crashed!
-And Biggs sacrificed himself for Ceodore…
-OMG
-WTF
-He (and Wedge) both helped kick off FFIV. They were on Cecil’s mission to Mysidia. They were the ones who spoke out on the airship against Baron’s actions, and for all I know pushed Cecil’s conscience towards rebellion. Their open doubt set the tone.
-I like the flashback’s sepia tone.

After Years hasn’t even been going for very long at all, and yet for some reason this got me in the feels. I don’t know why. I just found myself progressing through all these assumptions about Biggs’ character that got turned. His Snape-ness played through to the end.
RIP Biggs.
