Did anyone else notice this? If you try to enter the Mosphoran Highwaste from Nalbina, there are these soldiers who tell you that you can't come in because the Empire is conducting a sweep. Eventually, at one point if you try it, the two soldiers have a conversation in which one of them says that he wants to go home and he doesn't see the point of this anyway. The names of the soldiers are Gibbs and Deweg. Clever, Square-Enix, clever.

Yeah, except I would've liked it if they were Biggs and Wedge...but I still enjoyed the little throw back, hehe.

lmao i didn't notice that. >.< that's awesome.

ooo, I never noticed that either.

I too ignored this but it costed me later in the game. Evidently those two were part of a side event that had an important reward.

That reminds me of VIII's Wedge & Biggs last dialogue before leaving the Lunatic Pandora

Yeah, it does seem like a callback to me.

And can somebody explain what this secret reward is?

July gives you a Salamand Halcyon when you reach Archades, Agent. I actually mentioned this in my last post on the Q&A thread.

Wow, awesome prize. I guess there's always the hard way though...

Indeed. The very reason I'm not over in Ogir-Yensa right now trying to get one :-P
