Seems like they're preparing a new part of Time Temple.

FFV reference here, think of the black mage as the main villian, has he done much damage yet? no, not really, but back then he almost destroyed the whole thing, and is now rising to power.

ok, that's your generic story, but it's what's going on.


and i think it would have been awesome if somewhere during the fight with the empress, she summoned a gigantic shinsoo, and floated next to it throwing attacks both at the same time. can't say the people fighting her would enjoy it though.
