Summary: Akademia's remnants try to piece together a response to the apocalypse.

Five Thoughts/Questions
1)
I started this by reviewing parts of the last video since so much of
the chapter transition just blasted by me. I just seem to remember parts
of that new chapter that showed brief flashes of things with a red film
over them and couldn't find that section.
Was I imagining that, or was that part of the chapter 8 that I just didn't missed somehow in review?
2)
I remember very vague parts of FFXIII and that cosmology, but not much
specific. Some names and images. Please feel free to refresh me on
anything the game expected me to remember that I missed, with my thanks!
3)
I'm looking forward to seeing the Rubicus updates in NG+ as I kill some
of those more interesting high end enemies, like the malboros and
tonberries. Malboros could just be random wild beasts, but tonberries
often have interesting history.
4) Speaking of history: that
Concordian history I learned about here surprised me. I had thought that
the Dracobaltians were an offshoot sect of Concordia, not the
predecessor that became corrupted.
5) The kids' reactions to
the apocalypse were fascinating. They were (relatively) chill! Joking
and worried about not feeling too sad. I found it disconcerting or
unrealistic at first, but not in hindsight. It seems a very young way of
looking at the apocalypse. These are still basically kids.
