You know, as much as I love FFVI, as I replay it, the more I realize how badly the story was constructed. I never realized just how many loose ends are totally left untouched.
Here's just a few for Celes alone... more to come
Here's just a few for Celes alone... more to come
- Celes is an Imperial General at the very beginning, but the very first time we see her, she's getting the crap knocked out of her for committing an act of treason. What is this act of treason? No one ever elaborates on this. No one ever tells just what she did to fall out of favor. Perhaps this is to make the player cast doubt upon her loyalties when she is told to betray you, but I think it was just sloppy, and there are plenty of opportunities later to elaborate, but none are taken.
- Cyan, upon meeting her, recognizes her and tells that she was the Imperial General who 'torched Maranda'. Yet she boldly strides through that town without the slightest fear of being recognized by the people there, nor do any of them mention her by name.
- What happened after she saves Locke and the others from within the Magitek Facility? The next we see of her, she's riding with General Leo and Shadow. Never is it mentioned where she's been or what she was doing in-between.
