** Additionally, the battle is structured to make it entirely possible for Rydia to solo Golbez with her summons while Cecil keeps the two of them healed. First, he had promised to protect her, and that never changed even after they had been apart for "years" (in Rydia's case). Second, the player learns just how afraid Golbez was of the Summoners and exactly why he tricked Cecil into destroying Mist, because Rydia at that moment is showing just what said Summoners were capable of!

The extended uuu made it look silly but added italics to add as emphasis.


* One for Rydia's voice actress in the DS port. Her, "I hate youuuu!" in her introduction scene will send chills down your spine.

* Cecil's wasting of four of [[CurbstompBattle Baron's guards]] in order to defend Rydia, as a way to start [[MustMakeAmends atoning for his sins]].

After Years moments should go on the After Years page, and said moment already exists on there.


* Rosa's attempt to find Cecil counts as one for White Mages as a whole. Unlike her predecessors, relegated to staves and the occasional hammer (up until WHM's weak physical prowess catches up to them), Rosa apparently departs on her own with a bow, travels a fair distance towards Kaipo solo, and desert sickness aside, '''made it intact''', implying that she survived random encounters and put more than a few arrows into things along the way. Look at her starting equipment and stats, imagine she's the only character in the party, and trace her approximate path from Baron. All of a sudden, she seems like one of the most capable and versatile White Mages in the entire series, including modern archetypes! Rosa doesn't need to rely on Dia, Aero, summons, or Holy to hold her own.
* In the After Years, the Mysterious Girl, after so many losing encounters, enslaving the Eidolons, and basically being an [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant condescending bitch]] throughout most of the game, finally taking her down with her going into a VillainousBreakdown is definitely satisfying. Even more so as she was taken down by Bahamut, whom she had cruelly enslaved to serve her.

Edge also unlocks Blitz.


** This is followed up by Edge unlocking his Flood ability and being able to attack Rubicante with his weakness. However, Rubicante gets an immediate counter-moment with this BadassBoast:

* Rydia's return from what looked like her death, all grown up and ready to [[BigDamnHeroes save the party's ass at a crucial moment]]. Not only that, she shows up when Cecil is the only party member still standing, meaning that she's protecting him - just as he protected her from Baron's soldiers at the beginning of the game. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments It just doesn't get any better than this.]]

Golbez paralyzes the party and summons a Shadow Dragon, who begins dealing a OneHitKO to your party one by one, until only Cecil remains. Suddenly, a Mist Dragon appears and attacks, dispersing the Shadow Dragon. As Golbez grows confused over what's happening, someone heals Cecil and calls out to him, and Cecil seems to recognize the voice. Cue Rydia, now grown up into an adult and ready to [[BigDamnHeroes save knowing a much larger arsenal of spells and summons, running into the party's ass at a crucial moment]]. Not screen to rejoin the party. This is punctuated by the music changing from Golbez's theme to Battle with the Four Fiends, cueing that the ''real'' battle has begun.

* Just how the game started in general. Cecil and Kain are experienced knights, and it shows when you starts the game proper: Both immediately starts at level 10 and have full equipment, and as you go to the Mist Cave you'll easily slaughter any enemies that stands in your way. It's an excellent showcase of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, which also serves to show how badass Cecil and Kain are.
