I was in the midst of writing up my crackpot theory regarding the SoP-DFFNT connection, when I found something that threw everything into a loop (spoilers for Dissidia and Stranger of Paradise up to DLC 2, by the way):

Ok, so, in DLC 2, one of the many conversations you can have is with a Bomb named Bang. Bang does some snooping into the Lufenians and finds some papers related to Neon. But the interesting bit is where he found them:

The kingdom of Lufenia vanished without a trace. Used to be in a place called The Wing of the Hawk, though.  Rumor has it, there’s a big hole there.  Like someone scooped a whole country out and made it go poof. …Or like the whole place just up and floated away.

This itself is actually a reference to Dissidia: In the reports, as Cid's wife returns to Lufenia, she realizes that they are trying to use a levistone to lift the entire town:

I arrived in the town on the Hawk's Wing, where my tribe still lived in the middle of a forest. They were trying to use one of my husband's levistones to elevate the whole town in order to escape the shadow that appeared so suddenly.

Keep in mind that both of these conflict with the actual FF1. maybe. Lufenia is on the surface world in FF1, though there is a significant gap of land right next to it. This would imply that the Lufenians: Lifted their town, turned it into the Flying Fortress (or perhaps, it was the fortress itself), got booted out by Tiamat and created a second village right next to it.

Maybe that was obvious and I am a slowpoke for realizing it. In my defense, nothing in the PSP version of FF1 at least alludes to this.

But then comes the other aspect: The war between Lufenia and Cornelia. According to Neon's story, Lufenia was winning the war until they abruptly vanished. In Dissidia, "The state" was losing the war to "the neighboring country" due to their summons and Omega: Which is why the manikin project, more specifically Chaos, was important for the Lufenians to complete. Even then, it's implied that Chaos was unruly, only listening to his mother - which is why Cosmos was created to control Chaos.

After my "crackpot theory on how SoP relates to Dissidia", stay tuned for my followup: "crackpot theory that OG!FF1 and Stranger of Paradise are a split timeline".

Here Comes the Clown

with a merry crown on his head and a big grin on his face the jilted jester comes to town

with a snap of his fingers and he lets out a cackle the world starts tumbling down

hee, hee, hee! everywhere is burning haw, haw, haw! everyone is screaming

down, down, down!

Clartz Chapter 10

Preview:            Bartz teetered between wakefulness and the dream world. He heard voices that sounded muffled like there was something stuffed in his ears. Bartz recognized one of them; it was Cloud, and he sounded tense. The wanderer focused on Cloud’s voice, following him back to the conscious world. The other tones increasingly got louder and crisp, along with Cloud’s.           Labradorite grays revealed themselves as his eyes fluttered open. Bartz scanned his surroundings and realized he was somewhere different. Where was he? The adventurer thought back to the last thing he remembered, which was in the pandemonium. They encountered Emperor Mateus and a new fighter, Zenos. His mind ran through the battle and remembered what led him to this point. Bartz recalled jumping in front of Cloud and used his shield to protect him from Zenos, who nearly took Cloud out. Then there was pain, followed by darkness.
