First let me preface this by saying how excited I am to be slated for the FF9 playthough on our next FF marathon. The game is by far one of my favorites and along with megaman Legends encompasses all that I feel a good game should be and should have. It is a creative benchmark, so much so that I hope to do a project related to it at a later date, though for that everyone will jsut have to wait and see waht I have in store.
That said, I would like to share with you all a small revelation about the game, and ask a rather odd question. Warning, There be spoilers ahead.
At one point of the game, in order to gain access to a vital area and continue their persuit of Kuja, Zidane and Garnet are required by dwarvish law to get married, as only married couples may pass though to this specific area according to dwarvish law.
after playing though this game a couple of times, I noticed something rather curious that is never really addressed. I personally do not consider it a plot hole, but it is worth mentioning.
Technically before the end of the game, before the third disk, and most importantly before Garnet is made queen, Zidane is officially her husband. Now considering the admittedly sad, but very well done political and emotional aftermath of the queens death and garnets ascent to the throne, one would think that zidane only need it pointed out that he is now king of alexandria, and one of his two small emo moments in the game would have been ignored, plus alexander would have been summoned sooner since he would not have left.
now story wise events hapening the way they did works. but my question to you all is this. Was zidane king already? and if so would his staying have changed anything?
