== Kluya cheated to redeem Cecil into being a Paladin. ==
Cecil felt bad for a week for killing defenseless villagers. Mopes a bit, suddenly becomes a ''Paladin'', paragon of goodness. Say what? Kluya weakened his [[Enemy Without]] considerably; which is why the Maenad was able to reverse the process so much with just a little tweaking.
* Also, this could only be done with his Lunarian bloodline. Kain didn't get the kid gloves with his test.
* This might also explain why it took so much longer for Kain, as well as how Kain could do it at all after Kluya spent all of his energy upgrading Cecil. Cecil was cheated in, but Kain needed 17 years of meditation and rumination on his faults and desires before he could change.
Line 29:
== Zemus is controlling The Creator. ==
A lot of the otherwise spread-out and contrived antagonistic elements of The After Years make sense if one starts to believe that Zemus brainwashed The Creator the same as he did with Kain and Golbez after his defeat in Final Fantasy IV.
Consider that the methods both [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] use are extremely similar - brainwashing, collecting crystals using a Dark Knight (in this case, Dragoon, which is not technically the same thing, but still enough), removing the good King of Baron, using the Red Wings to attack the planet and so on - both antagonists were also absolutely obsessed with the evolution of the human race on the blue planet and intent on knocking out the Eidolons and Summoners. They were both using a second moon to stir up trouble on Earth and both can easily resurrect dead enemies like The Four Emperors to do their bidding.
At the end of Final Fantasy IV, Zeromus says, "As long as there is evil in the hearts of man, I will never die" or something like that. When you fight him again in The After Years, he says "Evil is evolution at it's purest!" a telling sign if ever there was one. The Maenad attack The Red moon first. One of them leads Golbez and
As the crystal also acts as a direct link to The Creator, it's likely Zeromus's link was established when Cecil shone the crystal on him during the fight that killed him. When Zemus recovered enough, he likely exploited Creator's angst of being the last of his kind, dying out due to a painful evolution. Considering the start of Interlude is just a year after, the time frame may be realistic. It seems a bit too convenient that The Creator just happened to go insane around the same time frame and devise a VERY similar plan to wiping out the Blue Planet and the Lunarians. Zemus already knew the power of the Eidolons, so he wanted to take advantage of them for himself this time around. Then he waited and built for 16 years the True Moon, its dungeon, and the Maenad. The first was the Red Moon and Zeromus' resurrection. Then he teleported the Maenad to the Tower of Babil. Finally, when The Creator is destroyed, he "thanks" the party for his destruction - likely for removing his possession and ending him of his long misery.
