enginieri: Ummm I'm more of an D&D guy, what kind of "angelic"? spell in FF-verse has the effect/side-effect of disintegrate/sublimate crystals?
I am guessing they are going for the Great Gospel from FFVII. I do not remember if it healed status effects though if it did I guess crystal possession is just a status effect?

Well, the comic already riffs on FFVII a lot anyway, so I'm pretty sure that is indeed a Great Gospel expy, minus the rain.
And yeah, IIRC, Great Gospel fully heals HP and MP, removes all bad status effects, revives all KO'd party members and gives temporary invincibility.
What happens to Bad Guy and Gunny if the crystal elements are burned out of them - they've both got pretty serious, nay life threatening injuries that seem to be sustained by the crystal power...

Also, to clarify to enginieri, Great Gospel is a type of attack called a Limit Break. It just means that it's a special type of attack that usually takes multiple battles to charge a single use. Just wanted to clear it up, in case it sounded too overpowered to make any sort of sense.

That's a bit of a paradox. Gods in FF are traditionally villains, yet angels, servants of the abrahamic god, are good. Where is the logic in that?
Based on the blue bits floating off Rad and the soldier heads, it looks like she's already pulling all the crystal out of the people, possibly with some sort of restoration spell? That seems rather direct and anti-climactic. Based on the title, I thought they were going to try something like using her fire magic to create a strobe effect that made everyone nauseous and vomit as well.

Because it looks cool.
Christianity is not that common in Japan so a lot of times it's symbolism is just used to have a striking visual effect. An image of angels bathing someone in light may be striking but not have as much immediate meaning to them as to us. Similar to how you could show someone from the West some art of events in Buddhism and it may look amazing and inspire a want to recreate that image, though if you are not familiar with that culture most of its meaning will be lost on you.

To Quote Terry Pratchett 'Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.'
As the great philosopher Mrs. Cosmopolite says, "There's a lot goes on we don't know about, in my opinion."
This looks like a mythological reference that I've never heard of. Flying people with wings in white clothing and Roman sandals playing a harp and emanating light looks like Western-Christian angels. Angel light pulling evil crystal entities from people? Never heard of anything like that and I'm a Westerner.

I mean this is the series where the majority of games have you taking directions from crystals, I think they are way past logic here
In reality though I think its more of a design choice then anything, FF7's world doesn't even have gods, just a living aether that flows though the planet. Also I don't think FF7 sees all angels as good, especially the one winged ones
Hey!!! It was the baddies turn, and they barely move (in a not so large room) and nothing else, are you sure Grey that all of them used all their actions before our lovely pyrohealer started casting "mass exorcism"?

Makes sence, since vomiting is a Nature's "Poisona".
His website hasn't been updated since 2014 His twitter hasn't been updated since January His Patreon hasn't been updated since February And Dyingalone.net is actually behind the escapist for updates
I think you're thinking of his pinned tweet (from January), which shows up first on the feed. Look under. Guy is on Twitter all day, every day. And he mentioned dyingalone.net a few days ago.
