Current's...Fast

Uh, maybe this is nitpicking, and maybe not, but...uh, rafts do not hold still while you fight monsters in rivers. I know this isn't the worst example of Gameplay/Story Segregation but it's kind of weirdish.
It just shows how skilled the party is yo!

Oh, They're Beating A Woman...Better Not Interrupt

That's great, Locke. Don't bother taking on all 2 of the Imperial Soldiers that are beating the goddamn turds out of the lady, there. "I have to protect women cuz I failed to protect my girlfriend once, but I wouldn't want to be rude."
Said woman was an imperial general that is associated with organization that killed girl that created issues. Besides Locke can't risk being captured which is why he had to use disguises and secret passage ways instead of just brute forcing his way out unlike a certain Monk...

Rich People Build Weird Passages

Let's say you're the richest guy in town, and you want to build an emergency passageway that leads out of town.

Yeah, go ahead and make that as convoluted and full of dark hallways that you can't see your way through as you can, rich guy. Your escape plan is flawless.
It's most likely designed to help in escape from potential pursuers since only the rich man would know the proper exit.

We're Miners! "How Do I Get Out Of Town Through The Mines?" Uh.......

The people of Narshe don't know about any of the secret passageways that seem to have been there since at least (I guess) before the game began? And even if they did, did they not think it prudent to perhaps try to seal these passageways? They use them; they've got a training center for their guards down there; Edgar even says exactly this.

What is their problem? "Nah, we'll just leave the secret passage and back door to the town completely unlocked and unguarded except for a kinda-dangerous test you have to pass."

Brilliant.
Chances are it's the underground Returners group within Narshe who made use of the passageways and not the townsfolk hence why it seems only Locke and Arvis are aware of it. They did set some precautions when Edgar's group came back (after learning about when Locke and Terra escaped) and considering said mines are monster infested, I doubt the townsfolk are really quick to explore them all otherwise they would have met a ton of angry badass moogles and their Yeti pet.

Hm, That Kefka's Up To Something...BYEEEEEE

General Leo doesn't suspect that Gestahl may be intentionally diverting his attention away from Doma to give Kefka his window of opportunity? I just find it hard to believe, after all that ends up happening near the middle of the game, that Gestahl was seriously all that upset by what Kefka did. He probably just said, "Oh, we own Doma now" when he got the carrier pigeon.

General Leo doesn't question this decision once, beyond an unfinished apology to Cyan, if you brought Cyan along.

I thought Generals had to go to school.
He may very well have said something considering he never shows up again until the party is having the treaty dinner with the Emperor. It's also left ambiguous whether the letter sent was actually from the Emperor or was forged and sent by Kefka to get it Leo out of there. Gestahl may have set it all up to get Kefka to finish the siege since Leo was taking too long.

Good Thing I've Got This Plot Armor

Cyan is not affected by the poison at all. They don't even try to excuse this. Cyan is just magically OK. Pretty glaring, if only for the fact that they don't even bother addressing it.
He and the other guard may have simply not had a chance to take a drink. It's not like the game goes out of it's way to explain how the poison works. I feel this scene is meant to be left up to the player's imagination.

A Train! Doma Has Trains! But Not This Train!

Maybe this isn't a plot hole in and of itself, but this seems like exposition that could have been split up better. A single other comment (beforehand somewhere) about the fact that Doma once had train tracks all round it would have sufficed.

Instead it's a single information tidbit that is easily missed. Just weird and made me scratch my head.
I feel the limitations of the system pretty much made it it impossible to show this off but VI's world is based on First Industrial Revolution Europe so I wouldn't be surprised if there were suppose to be train tracks leading to most of the cities. The Ultimania mentions that all the machines built in Figaro Castle are transported to South Figaro to be sold, the cave passage seems awfully inconveinet to do so so it wouldn't be a stretch considering the world design to imagine there is a train track connecting the two to make this easier.

I Know Better, But What The Heck

If Fake Siegfried is such a freaking pansy, why isn't he dead after you kill him? :/

It's really better not to ask questions about this particular plot thread in FF6, I suppose.
Considering you meet him on a train bound for the dead, maybe he's already dead? I sometimes like the theory that Fake Siegfried was actually dead and Sabin screwing up the train allowed him to come back to the land of the living. Granted this is Siegfried and he really is a plot hole.

Ok, So The Train Is Talking

...And now we're running from the Train? And hitting it? And Suplexing it? ...And now we're back on the train? I thought it blew up with thunder and lighting?

Gameplay/Story Segregation again... :/
It's a train that takes the dead to their final resting place, it may simply being the personification of death itself which no one seems to have an issue with being a chatty Kathy. The Suplex is actually a bug that became too popular among fans for Square to ever bother fixing it.

I'm Tired Of These M*f*n Pirhanas In This M*f*n Waterfall

This is just the height of smurfing bulltrout. This is the one thing I don't think Edgar or Locke would have believed if Cyan hadn't been there to corroborate his story.

"Then we fought pirhanas off as we dove down a waterfall!"

"Bulltrout, Sabin!!"

"No, Sir Sabin speaks the truth"
The fact they jump off FF's equivalent of Niagara Falls to get to their next destination pretty much throws any real world logic out the window. Just let Sabin fight his magic piranha that live in a waterfall.

Smellavision 2: Olfactory Reset

Gau is probably pretty stank. It's little wonder you end up...
He probably just smells like a farm animal which is repugnant but you get used to it. It's not like Cyan and Sabin had time to bathe on their journey so I doubt they smelled better.

...Diving Into A Trench Sharing 1 Diving Helmet

...Between 3 grown men, in a strong undertow.

This is almost as ridiculous as the pirhanas.
Okay, yeah this is a plot convenient plot hole. Who knows, maybe they simply took turns using it but considering it's designed toi look like an old diving helmet which works by having someone pumping air into it from the surface I think we can safely assume it's some Magitek relic from the War of the Magi.

"We Sighted Kefka In The Area"

One of the Figaro Castle guards says this...I think it might've been a translation error, but still, it begs the question, what the hell is KING Edgar Roni Figaro's ARMY doing while he's fighting for his life in Narshe?

Is it their day off or something!?

TO BE CONTINUED
Defending Castle Figaro from possible attacks after their ruse was revealed? Not to mention it takes awhile to move an army or perhaps they were there fighting off the bulk of Kefka's forces that didn't make it into the city. I mean it's not like we see Narshe's forces helping defend the Esper either so it's likely they many all be fighting their own battles off screen. The aftermath when the party splits up concludes that Narshe can't protect itself anymore meaning they may have suffered heavy casualties in the battle and perhaps the Returners stay behind to organize the Figaro troops that will help bolster the cities defense?
