Turns out Sir Wade somehow survived the encounter with Ifrit and the Phoenix at the beginning of the game! Great news, because Wedge, I mean Wade (Wadge?), has been a thorn in Anabella's side for these many years in the Lazarus district. We meet Uncle Byron, who is an amazing character, and Jill moves toward her past with the intent to make penance for the wrongs she's done in her life. After all that, we get to face King Kupka for the first time. Leave a comment if you feel so inclined! Thanks for watching! Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2. Sir Wade (1:21) 3. Uncle Byron (12:45) 4.
