• Cecil has Yoshitaka Amano's trademark appearance...blue lips, pale skin, willowy appearance, frizzy white hair...although some of those traits might actually make sense in this setting rather than just Author Appeal for Amano. He's half lunarian - FuSoYa has pale skin too, and white hair but he is old. Maybe Lunarians naturally have white hair and pale skin. His brother Golbez does too when you see him in After Years. However, how come Golbez has more of a tan than his brother? Actually...maybe Golbez took more after his mother in that aspect. Or maybe Cecil spent so much time in his armour he's pale...but then wouldn't Golbez be just as pale, too?
  • Goldbez probably only wore his armor when he went out to the field, and during FFIV, you never meet him in Baron.

• Fridge Brilliance: Rubicant is a Blood Knight. His sole desire seems to be to fight against a worthy opponent capable of challenging him, and even seems amused if he's defeated. He is the fiend of fire and like fire, wishes to test himself and burn stronger.

• Fridge Logic: The twins can't be un-stoned easily because they did it to themselves. What if they cast Break on each other? Would it be easier to cure them then?
  • Break is a Black Magic spell; Porom wouldn't have been able to cast it on her own at all.

• Fridge Horror: The Prison Garb Cid comes equipped with prevents Sleep status. Yikes.
• If you take the timeline as it appears in the original Japanese of The After Years, Cecil's desire to leave Rosa behind makes much more sense. It's already heavily hinted that the two have been sleeping together since before the game begins (and suggested that they do so after the attack on Mysidia). Combined with Ceodore's age in the sequel, the suggestion isn't that he wants her to Stay in the Kitchen; he wants to protect his lover and his unborn child.

• Fridge Brilliance: Golbez seems to go down far too quickly in the Dwarven castle, right? Well, don't forget what happened to Rydia's mom; if a Summoner's creature dies while being summoned, it takes a tole out on the Summoner. What does Rydia do the moment she arrives? Oh yeah, she kills Golbez's summoned Shadow Dragon. No wonder he took its death so poorly!
