The war isn't over and there isn't indications if the remained comrades succeeded or failed in their mission. What happened with Summerill and his army, as well Alice's father is a mystery in this ending.: Many skills in this game have an area of effect (especially the extra skills). In other words, your party can be defeated in a single attack (especially in boss battles).: In the first generation is cool to keep Sieg, Linda, Routier and Sayane in the team, but this is impractical since they are going to die in the end of generation and only returns to the party if you meet the requirements for the true ending route.

Routier also resembles and shares the same voice action with. Alice and Galios are inspired in adult Ellis and Borgnine but with different personalities (especially Galios).
Eugene is heavily inspired in Winfield. Mimel is inspired in Dyshana, but with a completely different personality. Both are creatures from the darkness too. Leonis plays the same role of Rex.

You can miss various events in this game for not meting the requirements for it. You only have a single chance for capture Mila, Decimal and the Gods as monster units.: The game calls it “breakers”.

Hands down Dana is the most Stripperific character of the game. She wears a micro skirt and almost nothing more. Shernini wears a.: The game clearly pushes Sieghart and Linda together as the, with her being the only bride with unavoidable plot-related with him and the two other Leonis' clearly being poorly recolored versions of the Linda-mothered one.: Decimal.: Sayane.: Shermini.

The three Gurg decimate their former allies before Vashtor and Leonis, leaving Leonis in a coma for days expecting that he would've died.

Justified since she is a soldier.: Some of the 3D enemies have had their models replaced.
