    Default How does Draco turn into flowers?

    At first i thought it was beautiful imagery but Ive suddenly lost the suspension of disbelief ive held for years and realised that if the opera scene was on stage, how could draco appear from nowhere, then turn into flowers!?
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Trap doors, smoke and possibly some mirrors. That or he's actually an escapee from the Phantom Train.

    Magic, duh....
    Oh wait, no common magic was accessible yet.

    From what I understand, back when Theater was where popular entertainment was at they had a multitude of tricks to accomplish all sorts of cool special effects.

    He obviously used the Vanish spell, leaving some flowers behind.

    This always bothered me too. If the entire screen had flashed, it would be easy -- they blinded everyone momentarily and then switched places. But there must be some sort of smoke and mirrors trick, as Vivi22 said.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    They could've used smoke and tons of nonsense in the "real" opera, but we players don't need to see that, so whatever.

    I'm more amazed that Celes can just magically sing opera...as well as looking just like Maria, she must also sound EXACTLY like Maria, as all opera singers do not sound the same, contrary to popular belief. And we never see this mysterious Maria...I think there's a conspiracy here.
    I think Celes was pulling a Britney on us and lip-synching while Maria sang in the wings.
    Time...
    It will not wait...
    No matter how hard you hold on, it escapes you...

    I think Maria is Celes's stage name. They look exactly alike, sound exactly alike, and are never seen together. The conclusion is obvious.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
