Fly me to the moon....

When we last left off, we had, with the help of Edge, sexist Ninja, finally embarked on our mission to the moon. Well, we were, except, surprise, surprise, Kain betrayed us again. So, now that we can't take the easy way to the moon, we've got to exhaust all of our alternatives.

And, having exhausted ALL of our alternatives, we decide to fly to the moon in the legendary Big Whale. There's no mention that it's an airship until you actually acquire it -- I envisioned my party riding an orca and jumping out of the ocean with such force that we'd leave the gravitational pull of our planet, ala Free Willy on steroids.




The moon is a lot like the "Blue Planet" we came from, except the inhabitants are mildly tactless. You see, we recently learned that Cecil was a half-breed. Half moonman, half blue planetian.

Even I, crass though I can be, know that a polite conversation does not go:

Hi! I'm Cecil!

Oh! You're a half-bre... er, Hi! I'm generic moon person #281.


So, after getting horribly offended by the moon people, it's time to go back to our own planet to stop it from destruction by a giant robotic-type creature (again, watch this, robopeople are very prominent in future games). Being successful brings to light what we in the business call a 'plot twist'.

You see, Golbez is, (wait for it), Cecil's brother. Scandalous! And, there's some more moon-people racial pride. Seriously, I'm starting to wonder if the whole plan to just destroy all the humans was just race (species?) based. "Oh, we're the Lunars. We're super awesome! Let's send a giant robot to destroy all the non-Lunars!".








Of course, this drives everyone to end-game. We go to the obligatory crystal walled dungeon, have the obligatory fake ending, kill a ridiculous looking boss, and then go home for tea and cookies.











This brings us to the end of FF4.
