36 Final Fantasy IX: Bran Bal & Garland's Revealed Truth

Final Stop For Final Fantasy Talks

The guys discover Zidane's true purpose... that he is a manufactured tool of destruction, and "brother" to none other than Kuja. Luckily Zidane has such a strong will that he has rejected this purpose, and is set on turning against his creator. Garland also provides plenty of information that sums up many of the mysteries including what Mist is (stagnant souls), and that Terra is poised to "absorb" Gaia once enough souls have been collected. All that is left to do is put an end to Garland and disrupt his plans, but that is easier said than done.
