After all of Orience is united under the banner of the Vermilion Bird , Pandæmonium rises from the ocean sending out the Rursan Reaver s to slaughter mankind . As Class Zero return to Akademeia from the battle at Ingram , they find the Central Command and the Consortium of Eight gone , and hear news that Cid Aulstyne of the Militesi Empire has gone to the newly appeared sanctuary . Arecia Al - Rashia hints at a vital decision the cadets would soon have to make before departing , explaining that the cadets have lived their lives according to the Will of the Crystals . Queen tells the others of the Judge said to reside in Pandæmonium , the Land of Judgement , who will decide to end the world if there is no Agito , a messianic savior of myth . Despite knowing that without Arecia ' s help they cannot be revived should they fall in battle , the cadets decide to brave Pandæmonium anyway to speak with the Judge , their conviction reaffirmed when Claes Celestia Misca Sancest , the Secundus l ' Cie of the Azure Dragon Crystal , arrives and informs them Cid has become Agito . As only l ' Cie can enter Pandæmonium , Celestia brings Class Zero there , but loses her humanity and turns into the Shinryu Celestia for going against the Will of the Azure Dragon Crystal . Before her final transformation , she implores the cadets to make their choice wisely . The cadets fight through the trials Cid has placed for them . Though Cid has never met the class before , he knows about them and their " mother " , Arecia Al - Rashia , whom he deems has interfered with the White Tiger Crystal . Cid declares to pass Judgment on the cadets and give them a slow death . During their trek through the temple , the Vermilion Bird Crystal asks the party to become its l ' Cie . Pandaemonium is always the ultimate destination in Class Zero ' s journey , and despite Dr Arecia ' s guidance , the cadets always chose to become l ' Cie to combat the Rursan Arbiter in previous cycles , facilitating the end of the spiral . Lost souls of Class Zero ' s past can be heard in many of the hallways , confused , scared , and crying out for help . If the cadets again choose to become l ' Cie they are slain by the hordes of Rursus . If they choose to remain mortal , however , the Vermilion Bird brands Rem Tokimiya , still slumped in Arecia ' s office back in Akademeia , to become its l ' Cie in the others ' stead . The cadets continue through Pandæmonium being guided by Cid ' s voice , completing task after task until they reach the top of the Spiral of Rebirth where they are stricken down . Cid declares he is bored and his voice dissipates . The Vermilion Bird Crystal sends Rem to apprehend the White Tiger Crystal l ' Cie it has sensed in Pandæmonium , wanting Agito to be born to the Vermilion Bird Crystal . Rem draws her daggers and engages him , accidentally impaling herself in his rapiers . Dying , she falls to the ground and the White Tiger l ' Cie ' s mask falls : it was Machina Kunagiri , who , unknown to everyone , had willingly inherited Qun ' mi Tru ' e ' s Focus so he could become strong protect Rem , scared of being alone and losing his memories of her . Rem is happy to see Machina for one last time , and pleads for him to always remember her before dying . As Machina embraces her body the two turn to crystal . The other cadets find they are still alive , if only barely , and approach the l ' Cie ' s crystalline forms , startled to find they are Machina and Rem . As they stagger onwards Cid ' s voice derides the cadets for failing to become Agito , but as he begins to talk about the cadets being born from the blood of Etro , he realizes he is no longer following his own will . As the cadets head for the Consecrated Ground by passing through the fiery depiction of Etro ' s gate at the top of the sanctuary , they find Cid amid a pool of red liquid in a void - like dimension . Cid declares the cadets ' lives useless since the day they were born , and himself as the Judge fit to carry out their punishment , transforming into the Rursan Arbiter . Shinryu Celestia attacks him , but Cid kills her and harvests her phantoma . In truth , Cid has been possessed by Gala , a servant of the deity Lindzei , though he had tried to commit suicide to prevent being taken over . The cadets engage Cid in his Rursan Arbiter form but are killed . Machina and Rem ' s crystal revives the cadets by transferring their power to the rest of Class Zero . One by one the cadets fight the Rursan Arbiter until he finally falls . His phantoma disperses into the void and the class is transported back to Akademeia ' s ruins . The weakened cadets plan for all the happy things they would have done had they the strength to survive , but perish . The mysterious Joker and Tiz have secretly overseen Class Zero ' s actions and played a role in convincing Arecia to revive Machina and Rem from their crystal stasis . Deciding to allow the two and the rest of Orience to remember the dead , Arecia abandons her search for Etro ' s gate and leaves , and the light of the Crystals fades . Arriving to find the cadets dead , Rem comforts a guilt - ridden Machina for his perception of them . Without the Crystals Orience falls into a dark age , but Machina and Rem honor their classmates ' deeds by recording their names in history fifty years later while rebuilding the post - war Orience . What happens to Pandæmonium is unknown . It was last seen when Joker and Tiz talked with Arecia in the void - like dimension where the Rursan Arbiter was fought . Quests . Missions . Pandæmonium is only visited during the final mission of the game . Limited only to the original twelve members of Class Zero , they are pit against Cid ' s Crucibles to determine if they can pass his judgment . Other appearances . " Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call " . Pandæmonium is the background for the Field Music Sequence of " Tempus Finis " . Musical themes . " Tempus Finis " plays in every battle in the Pandæmonium except for the final boss , The Rursan Arbiter which " Vermilion Fire " serves as its battle theme . Etymology and symbolism . The location of Pandæmonium is significant , being located at the peninsula that stands at the middle of Orience . In the mythology of the Four Symbols , the original incarnation featured the Shenlong or Koryu , the Golden Dragon representative of the Wu Xing element of Earth , the direction of center , and the highest powers that govern over the rest of the four symbols . Its Japanese analogue rather sees no beast represent the aspects of center , and instead represents the element of Sky , or the Void . This symbolism may be present in the Portal of Destruction area , where the doors to each nation ' s trial are situated in the cardinal directions , with a dark sphere like a black hole in the middle . Once the player overcomes the trials , the black hole turns into a portal of light that whisks the player away to the top and final areas of the dungeon . The very final area of Pandæmonium appears to exist in the Void . In the rooms that have no battles the player can hear the cadets ' voices scared and lost in darkness . If these are parts of their souls stuck in Pandæmonium from previous spirals , it would befit Pandæmonium ' s namesake as the capital of Hell . Class Zero strives to become Agito and open the gate to the afterlife , which could be seen analogous to entering heaven .
