There are a few cutscenes that take place as the party arrives back at Balfonheim Port. Al Cid will be waiting for the team when they arrive back at Reddas’ manse. They will now have to reach the Sky Fortress Bahamut to attack and finally destroy Lord Vayne Solidor.
As the team exits Reddas’ manse, they will be approached by the team of pirates one more time and Rikken will explain that the Strahl can now fly to the Sky Fortress Bahamut.
The Sky Fortress Bahamut is the last chapter of the game. There is no turning back once you board the Strahl and fly to the Sky Fortress Bahamut and the game will warn you of this when you select that option.
