Freedom
Sabin hid away in the mountains on the edge of Figaro as an “apprentice” to a martial arts master named Duncan. Duncan trained Sabin with his son Vargas and taught him everything he knew. This is how Sabin learned his blitzes.
Vargas apparently became irrationally jealous of Sabin thinking that Duncan was going to make Sabin his successor. So jealous and irrationally so that he killed his own father and stalked Sabin with the intention of killing him too.
Anyway, Terra, Locke, and Edgar run into Vargas on their way up Mt. Koltz, and Sabin enters the game and saves the group. He defeats Vargas, and in the midst of it all he makes Vargas’s reality known:
Our Master wanted you to be his successor, not me. He appreciated your fine spirit...
Ouch. And so he killed his father for nothing. Sabin didn’t kill Vargas but he’s not seen in the game again. My guess is that he’s out there somewhere going mad and hating himself for what he did.
And with Vargas’s defeat, Sabin’s freedom temporarily ends. He reunites with his brother for the first time in ten years, joins the Returners, and helps bring down the Empire that he hates so much, not for his Kingdom but for Duncan.
I think Duncan would rest easier if he knew his disciple played a part in bringing peace to the world.
