Line 6:
**** Okay, so how about the Celestian who has magic dissociative identity disorder and his other three identities are solid? Or something?
** For that matter, [[Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence|the barrier is 2d and does nothing to prevent someone from just climbing the nearby ledge]]
* The ending kinda got my goat. So let me get this straight, in order to finally defeat {{spoiler|Corvus}}, I have to {{spoiler|demote myself to a mortal and sacrifice my opportunity to [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]], the way my character has lived their entire life for the chance to do, just so I can bypass my magical inability to attack a superior? And for my sacrifice, I'm condemned to [[Roaming The Earth|roam the Earth]] and right the wrongs with no foreseeable reward? And the Villain is redeemed, forgiven and gets to ascend and live happily ever after with his deceased girlfriend?}}
** Shut up, its [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]]. >:O
** Plus, it's a classic {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} scenario combined with {{spoiler|[[And the Adventure Continues...]]}}. Also, ''Dragon Quest Battle Road'' shows IX's Hero as {{spoiler|a Celestrian}}, so you could always reason that {{spoiler|he eventually earns his full powers back}}.
** And who's to say this isn't exactly what the hero wanted? He has [[OC Stand In|no stated motive]], but he's often described as being pure of heart. He may have enjoyed his job protecting mortals more than the perks of his position, and come to love the "wander the Earth as a hero" bit even more. {{spoiler|And since it was a Fygg that made him mortal, he could have theoretically used the post-game Fygg to become a Celestrian again. Instead, he just wished to be able to see the Starflight Crew again.}}
*** [[AFGNCAAP|The hero is the player's avatar]]. ''I'' wanted to {{spoiler|[[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]}}. Though I suppose the postgame spelunking and legacy bosses and whatnot are pretty badass.
* Now how in the heck do your partners travel with you when you're on the Starflight express?
** They apparently catch up to you after you land... "Your friends come into view". Maybe they just ride in the caboose, though. [[Peter Pan|Or Stella can do the whole pixie dust thing]].
