I have mixed feelings about this storyline. On one hand, most of it worked for me, it was very emotional, the fight between Raubahn and Ilberd was awesome, and I like Pipin already. On the other hand, there were a few things I don't like - I'm really not a fan of the "characters sacrifice themselves one by one to slow a pursuing enemy down" cliche, because most of the time they die pointlessly and it'd be much more effective if they all faced the enemy together, and here it was no different. Also, standard Square Enix maneuver: "Look at this cool fight scene! Wouldn't it be even cooler if you could participate in it? Well, too bad!"
Though really. I should say "sacrifice", because it's blatantly obvious none of the Scions are dead and we'll see them again.
Was there ever any doubt? I always scratch my head when some people think that spellcasters can do anything, but melee fighters are limited by real world physics. This is Final Fantasy. All those flashing blade beams are IC.

So all of you RPing superhuman feats, feel vindicated.
It's very Final Fantasy.
