* Rex being the TeamCook, or at least being the gifter of a good chunk of the recipes, makes sense. Pyra probably showed him a thing or three in cooking.

* Shulk and Rex being chosen as the new Trinity Processor make sense based on their characteristics. Shulk is very logical and has great inside into machinery and how they work, fitting the stand-in for Logos. Conversely, Rex is free-inspired and inspires others to take action and make changes, fitting for Pneuma. Both Shulk's logic and Rex's empathy helps A (Ontos) to make a human decide to give Nikol and Glimmer extra time in Aionios.

** If the Consuls have installed the fake queens as rulers of Agnus and Keves, Glimmer, as a soldier of Agnus, would be trying to return her life to "Queen Nia" - or, put another way, "going home" to the only family member she could easily find in Aionios' hellscape whether she knows it or not.

* Food for thought: Have the Consuls installed the fake queens as rulers of Agnus and Keves yet? If so, does "Homecoming", despite being an undignified execution at the hands of a Consul, still have some connotation of "returning one's life to the Queen" in this era? Because in that case, Glimmer, as a soldier of Agnus, would be trying to return her life to "Queen Nia" - or, put another way, "going home" to the only family member she could easily find in Aionios' hellscape.

* It may seem odd that the worlds had to reform separately at all if they were simply to merge again, but this was what Origin was designed to do, to remake everything as it had been before the merging. It was not equipped to make the unknowable result of the worlds merging. So then why would the worlds proceed to merge again and successfully? First, remaking the worlds as they were meant that the "yearning" they had for each other was also remade. There was only one difference now. The first Intersection destroyed both worlds completely, because (as Shulk explains) they were composed of opposite types of matter and (as Nia explained) canceled each other out. However, the rebooted worlds were made from the "words of light" encoded in Origin, the light that remained after the two worlds annihilated each other. Because both worlds were now made of the same thing, they could merge safely.

* Most of Rex's skills as a unit reference Pyra or Mythra (or both) and use their powers (or some approximation of them), as if his wives are still with him and supporting him in spirit even though they are physically separated. It is perhaps not surprising then that Rex is by far the most powerful unit in the game given how powerful the Aegises are. It also harkens back to the oft repeated adage from ''2'' that Driver and Blade are one in body and soul. Only Nia gets left out, but Rex could only hold two swords at a time and her fighting style doesn't mesh well with Pyra and Mythra's in one person.

** Ghondor was seemingly named by Noah, the canonical king of naming things badly

* There is a point to the radio that airs while Na'el is telling Matthew how wonderful Klaus' world is besides being a reference-laden lore dump. Na'el's hopeful speech about how perfect this world is is contrasted with the news of human rights laws failing to make legislation, people wanting to live off-planet, and the general feeling that something foreboding is going to happen. Even before we are directly reminded of the fate of this world, Na'el's idealized views was flawed from the start.

* Ouroboros' heavy association with destruction and the end, as well as the heavy purple theming around N and Noah's sword abilities, called Malos and his destructive abilities to mind for many. The final scene of Matthew revealing Pneuma's core within his glove as well as a suspicious zoom on N's Sword of the End ''heavily'' hints that the connection was more than just a thematic MythologyGag, and that somehow N or a past life of Noah was able to come across Logos/Malos' core the same way Na'El came across Ontos' core, and that is what grants the Sword of the End the power it has. Conversely, the Ouroboros Stones and Noah's gauntlet, which gave off a faint green glow in the original game, are confirmed to be powered by Pneuma's abilities to balance it out.

** Glimmer is most frustrated that she is unable to make it to Homecoming because of the heroes. Glimmer knows full well what Homecoming is (which unlike the modern ceremony isn't even a ''peaceful'' death nor would it remove her from the cycle, though she doesn't know that last part) but she sees it as [[SurvivorsGuilt repentance for surviving when her allies did not]] as well as an escape from war. This likely reminded Rex of Pyra and Mythra's suicidal ideation and his own regret over being unable to understand what "going to Elysium" meant for them, which adds extra pointedness to his stern behavior.

* The reveal that Origin is powered by Ontos and constructed based on their own Core makes a ton of sense when one considers that Alvis did display power capable of forming an entire world (though they could not use this power of their own volition, requiring someone else to make the decisions). For all their knowledge and power, to actually remake their worlds would have been beyond the abilities of the people of Alrest and Bionis without access to power linked to something like the Conduit, and Ontos was the closest thing to such power in an intact state after the Conduit left, Logos was killed and Pneuma became Pyra and Mythra. It likewise shows why Origin was so susceptible to the myriad human fears and desires contained within it, effected by them just as the Aegises (including Ontos) were.

* Rex's harsh scolding to Glimmer and ignoring her pain of losing her friends might come across as OOCIsSeriousBusiness to some, but seeing as Rex was once reckless in his youth and Glimmer is acting a lot like Mythra, he was helping Glimmer to avoid the same mistakes he and Mythra had done. Examples were when he tried to fight Malos again despite Vandham sacrificing himself to give them time, endangering his friends. Mythra also let her rage consume her and cause the destruction of Torna, something she came to regret for many years. And telling Glimmer to "get over it" on her friends' status makes sense that, in Rex's point of view, they will be fine once Origin starts and revive back in Alrest. Not to mention, Rex's friends and family are gone by this point, but he has to push forward to save their worlds and, hopefully, them as well.

* The reveal the leader of the Saviorites was [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} Dimitri Yuriev]] explains a lot of why Klaus became so desperate to harness the Zohar before they got their hands on it. Yuriev, being a GodhoodSeeker, would likely have used it to make ''himself'' a god, not caring what kind of damage he inflicted to the world. Klaus was trying to make all of humanity better, meaning that he would view someone whose desires he hated on a personal level gaining power as a mortal threat to existence - and given who Yuriev is, [[JerkassHasAPoint it's hard to say that was a bad idea]].

* Rex is fittingly the one to briefly bring up the aspect of Core Crystals being genetic and able to be passed down to children had between a person with a Core Crystal and one without, having sired three such children himself.

* House Doyle is one of the more conservative Houses in the second City and expresses great focus on defense and avoiding conflict with Moebius and those they control (and also prioritizes the protection of young people in the City). Na'el's disdain for Kevesians and Agnians and desire to simply live apart from their conflicts, to the point that Alpha found her a suitable host for his plans to wipe out the people of the old worlds, clearly made it through to her descendants. On the positive side, so did her care for children and desire to avoid sacrificing lives.

* Shulk's Monado Replica is his Blade weapon in Aionios and thus forms out of thin air like all Blade weapons. However, he is so used to drawing his weapon off his back that he still goes through the motion of doing so in Aionios out of simple muscle memory.

* Minor one: In the base game, Ghondor complained multiple times about her name. Here, Matthew's grandfather is named Ghondor. Meaning it's a very old Vandham ''male'' name. Which both explains why Monica would give it to her daughter and why said daughter would hate it anyway.

* The original Ghondor potentially being the son of N and M puts a whole new spin on why House Vandham and the younger Ghondor specifically chose to help Noah and Mio; Noah and Mio are reincarnations of their ancestors, as the older Ghondor's grandson Matthew is both a descendant of N and M and the Founder of House Vandham, something that the younger Ghondor was aware of given that she worked with M to subvert N's plans during ''3''.
