South Figaro?

[Đeath’ş Aļļ | Horst Fuchs]

I run away throught some caves into area with this minitown, hut one of my characters and dungeon around some mountain where should be some mr. Duncan as i noticed correctly from one NPC. I also noticed some probably locked miniquest with delivering some cider to some guy, also few hidden rooms with some money and few things. But literaly noone to talk with about my quest, which makes me unsure if missed something important.

Is Anything to do in here or should i just take everything precious from here, visit a hut nearby and then continue to that mountain dungeon? I have no idea why should i go there, but whatever. I never played this game before, im not sure if such weird (un)communication with game is normal or i just missed something.

South Figaro is just a town to give you a place to get prepared with items and gear before you make your way to the mountain that the NPC mentioned. The town will become more important later, but for the point in the game you're at, you technically don't even have to enter the town at all to progress the story.

Yeah, its just so weird! Doesnt make a sense,

On that mountain I just beat some Vargas guy, he killed some Duncan master, no idea who is that and why is that important. I have to miss some important part of story or storytelling is pretty weird. No idead why im going there and why should i bother about this guy. After all i goit from him that hes just jaelous on us cause that Duncan prefer us? Oh, whatever.

I have a strong feeling i missed some very important dialog or something, or like a bug. So far this FF is totaly failling in storytelling for me.

The Duncan subplot is a really minor thing. Basically, Sabin (Edgar's twin brother) trained under Duncan as a martial artist, and Vargas, who is Duncan's son, became envious of Sabin because he felt like his father was favoring Sabin by teaching him more advanced techniques than his own son. Vargas then went and murdered his own father (there's a huge asterisk on that, but that won't be revisited until WAY later in the game), and Sabin confronts Vargas over this, which is where he joins the party.

Ultimately, this only serves as a bit of background for Sabin, and as an excuse to force the player to understand how his Blitz mechanic works, and is mostly unrelated to the main plot.

That said, FFVI DOES have a lot of missable, optional cutscenes that are pretty important for giving context to various characters, which is a big gripe I've always had with the game. It gets worse later when the game lets you choose who's in your party, and only lets you see certain scenes depending on which characters you bring with you to the next section of the story.
