Let's skip right over "none of the people who would have been transported to the First have Crystals of Light through which to make the journey." Maybe if Minfilia's doing it you don't need them, eh? So Minfilia mimics Hydaelyn's soul-call ability and leaves us ... elsewhere.

"That way...sorrow."
Thancred's go a bad plan. Ok.

"History...must be changed..."
Need to redirect the flow of events. Got it.

"Ahead looms a Calamity. Ahead looms Light, expunging all form and life. Twin dooms only you can forestall. Only you."
Alright, our first variables. Is one going to hit and then the other? Or could either hit and we have to walk between them? I'm guessing if you're guessing this is Arbert, the latter?

"Let expanse contract, eon become instant..."
Come again? Why does Arbert want to change the laws of space and time as his solution to this problem?

"Throw wide the gates that we may pass!"
Come again!? When did Arbert gain the ability to make time and space bend before him!?
What gate does he need to be let through? If Minfilia called me here, and he's still got his Crystal of Light, get it done, right?

And why doesn't Arbert sound like Arbert in Japanese?
