** The obvious guess would be that Aquaticus put them there to further your mission. The real question is why didn't anyone in the settlement try the portal out before the festival?

** On a similar note, Micah's wife seem to contribute absolutely nothing to the apparent phenotype of their kids. Its like the kids are children of Micah and Dusk or something, which is not even a joke considering how effeminate those two look.

* So, why is there a portal through the sharance tree? (Well, actually there's two...) Everyone that usually uses the portal to the univir settlement uses it like it was there the whole game! No explanation or announcement like: "hey can we use your house? No? too bad. :)" And why is there a portal to the dragon cave? Its practically the same distance from the tree to the other dungeons, so why is it so special???

* How does someone who look like Sherman have daughters who look like Sofia and Evelyn? Genetics is complicated (with epigenetics and environmental factors and all that) but even if they had the hottest mom and grew up in the best environments, it's still highly unlikely that their dad would have so little impact on their physical features.

*** I don't know how serious the tropers above are but you shouldn't take those comments too seriously, they were meant as jokes more than anything. Shara is as sweet as they come, though Sofia can give her a run for her money.

* So... do we ever get an explanation for what's up with Carlos's arms? I had thought those little fins on his biceps were some sort of decoration, but it became clear during the summer beach scenes that they're actually a part of his body. Was he supposed a merperson like Pia?

** I'm not sure Aquaticus cares about justification. Based on what he said after you battle him he already kidnapped the main character and erased his memories. From the memories recovered from the orbs he had duties he was pulled away from allowing the boss monsters to continue their rampage, probably including the death of people the main character once cared about. In one memory he's in contact with his father, so that's at least one family member and probably other family and friends devastated by Micah's sudden disappearance. And for what? To save a land that he's a stranger in. Can you say "end justifies the means"?

** Possibly simply a mechanics thing, since you have to fulfill family member's requests as well as your beloved's to get married (Or Gaius, if your dating Raven), and having two beloveds within one family would mean having two of cutscenes where you show your secret [[spoiler:wooly form]] to two people, as well as act more and more in love with them.

*** Heck she does it in the first few minutes of the game. Shara: "You'll be living in the tree!" Micah: "I don't remember agreeing to that." Shara: "You're an amnesiac, there's a lot of things you don't remember."

** Perhaps Teleport works automatically to bring you back to the Sharance Tree when you fall unconscious, and since you're unconscious there's an unseen cut-scene of you being dragged off to Marjorie. Since cut scenes stop time that would explain why no time passes when you are brought to Marjorie from inside a dungeon.

** Ondorus is very studious and likely has studied the legend of the Sharance Tree far more in-depth than any of the other citizens. The other citizens seem to know that the tree is special and know of the legend, but they don't even seem to know how it's special. They call it the guardian of the town, but Aquaticus mentions the entire land will wither and die if the Sharance Tree does not bloom, making it far more important than even those legends suggest.

** This troper can't actually seem to remember anyone having a problem with the main character being part monster. At most it seemed to raise trust issues with Sakuya, but do any of the characters besides Kuruna (for all her ranting about racist Hornless) actually have a problem with Micah being part monster?

** I'm assuming it's just a SecretTestOfCharacter. He says after you beat him that [[XanatosGambit he engineered all this to get the Sharance flowers to bloom]], and the fact that you can't faint in that final attack (though that might just be ThePowerOfLove/RuleOfCool/Micah being a Determinator) suggests he's going easy on you. Keep in mind, there's pedestals for the memory orbs and statues of the five other bosses. This indicates prophecy or planning or both.

* Why isn't Evelyn marriageable? She doesn't seem much older than Sophia, and the only thing really holding her back is that she's a OfficialCouple with Gaius (which could be remedied by him simply being a rival, as in RF2). It's not really a big deal, but it just bugs me.
