Summary:
We get a series of flashbacks here through Golbez’s life. He dreams as
he flies on the Lunar Whale towards the earth. When they get close,
Golbez wakes, and sees the approach of a yellowish moon very close to
Earth. Not sure which one, but whichever one, it’s probably not good.
End of the Lunarian’s Tale.
---
Flashback: See! The first defeat of Zeromus, as Fusoya and Golbez depart for hibernation. The focus is specifically on Cecil’s hesitation and ultimate decision to say goodbye, to call Golbez “brother,” granting him a measure of forgiveness.
---
Flashback: See! Fusoya frees Golbez from Zeromus’s controls and remembers his father was Kluya.
---
Flashback: See! Golbez fighting Kain, Cecil, Yang, Rosa, back before Rydia saved them as Older Rydia. Of course, this time around, I’m seeing the fight from Golbez’s perspective. (I wonder what Rydia, Edge, etc. are up to.)
---
Flashback: See! Tellah, Cecil, Yang, and Cid fighting Golbez, as Tellah sacrifices himself with Meteor to strike at Golbez.
---
Flashback: See! Golbez stealing the Fabul crystal (I think?), with the mind-controlled Kain. They kidnap Rosa, with Golbez instructing Kain to be merciless.
---
Flashback: See! …this is new. It’s KID GOLBEZ WATCHING OVER HIS BABY BROTHER CECIL! The screen mists red, and we start hearing an evil voice that must have been the start of Golbez’s corruption. “(You must hate him… your brother…)” The voice prods and pokes and Golbez, at his brother, and at his self-worth. Quick cut to the twin moons.
Poor kid.

Lunar Whale
-Golbez awakens.
-Most of the Lunar Whale here seems for show. A save point that doesn’t save, beds that don’t grant rest.
-The moon looms large near the earth. It’s yellow, and I’m not sure whether it’s the regular moon, Golbez’s and Fusoya’s moon (probably not), or Evil Moon Girl’s moon (probably). Here comes Golbez.
-END OF TALE. This took me by surprise, as with Kain’s. There’s more!

Next time: we play FFIV: The After Years! We’ll pick a new story! Which will focus on a character! Doing things! Possibly many things?
