"Upon the Phoenix's wings, Joshua flies his allies away from the still-smoldering ruins of the Crystalline Dominion and home to the hideaway. Alas, what should have been his happy reunion with Clive and Jill is overshadowed by the roiling clouds that have spread across the realm, driving all who wallow beneath them to desperation and despair."

AKA, Checking In on the State of the Realm, and this is a sidequest selection I actually think fits the game for its tone and overall placement, for the most part - in particular, giving us a swath of sidequests right before heading towards a seemingly-urgent MSQ? That's a bit wonky, but in general? We're roughly past halfway if you've been doing every sidequest along the way: Valisthea is in disarray, and it makes sense for Cid the Outlaw to check in on his various far-flung friends and allies from said previous encounters throughout XVI.

Note: the original file I was playing with ended up not recording any visuals here, so I had to re-record a couple hours of gameplay, so excuse any repeat dialogue from previous parts I flew through earlier.
