Entirely possible, actually. It could just be a "couple in Galuf's service dies, he feels bad and adopts their kid as his grandchild" thing....a thought occurs. Do we know that one of Krile's parents was in fact Galuf's kid? What if the reason her becoming the queen of Bal is uncertain is because she's not related to Galuf, she got adopted by him after her parents died?
But at the same time, I kinda feel like... if it's a case where he doesn't have any other living heirs, why wouldn't the kingdom just go "close enough" and stick Krile on the throne once Galuf's gone? Heck, guy's in his sixties, they should already have plans for when he eventually passes, especially post-Exdeath escape where there's no guarantee he doesn't meet a violent end.
FFV is mostly an afterthought because it didn't originally get translated with FFIV and FFVI (or should I say for the old folks in the audience, FFII and FFIII). So it just didn't get that initial attention over in english speaking countries back in the age of the SNES. It's still a perfectly good game like basically every other Final Fantasy so far other than maybe FFII, just doesn't have quite that raw nostalgia factor for the same crowd that's usually going "oh boy remember FFIV/FFVI?"That was really good! Having never really played the pre-VII FFs, I always thought of V as "the one that's not IV or VI," kind of an afterthought compared to two games everyone seemed to love. But this was really cool! Thanks as always for doing this, Omicron.
I'm excited for FF6, a game I know almost nothing about except a couple choice memes.
