* In the Jungle Mausoleum, Nazamil's room contains Adan Pepper, which is the main ingredient of the Social Mabo Curry that the party shared with her. In the Flame Palace section of the Keystone, there's a chest that contains additional Adan Pepper. These are small hints that Nazamil really values her first meal with the party, enough that she'd go out of her way to hoard this specific pepper.

* One sidequest in Messia 224 has the party help a considerate brother, who wants to help his sickly older brother get outside for the first time in his entire life for the chance so he see sweeping mountain vistas and forest scenery. With the help of his brother leading their horse and the party keeping zeugles at bay, the sickly brother gets to enjoy the view of a lifetime, and reflects on how the unconditional kindness of the party convinced him that the days of [[BigBrotherIsWatching Snake Eyes and Renan rule over Cyslodia is over.]] As a cherry on top, finishing this sidequest causes a good quarter of Messia's residents to realize how foolish they had been looking for traitors among their neighbors, causing a chain reaction of kindness throughout the village that culminates in the younger brother feeling that next time they want to try, he would be able to have the ''village'' help his brother see sights outside the town.

* An early sidequest in Beyond The Dawn establishes that the fusion of Rena and Dahna is so well known that the blue and pink flowers that represent the two wills have come to be known as the 'Rose of Unity.' Even with ''all'' the tensions between the Renans and the Dahnans, most people can at least respect the idea that the two wills finally coexist and are happy with their current arrangement. In fact Rena and Dahna's own reconciliation is one of the primary rallying points for unity between the two peoples.

When Dohalim decides to vent a bit through poetry, Kisara ''expertly'' 'translates' each verse for the confused party, showing how easily Kisara and Dohalim understand each other. His final poem instead turns towards how Kisara is more than just his friend - she's very much the muse by which he wakes up every morning to continue his duties.

** The first colored ending still during the credits is Dohalim officiating a wedding - but it's clear this ''isn't'' between Cagali and Nottio, like in the sidequest in the main game. The man has dull eyes, indicating he's Dahnan, and the woman has shining purple eyes, indicating she's Renan. It wasn't ''just'' Cagali and Nottio - already, love is blooming between Renans and Dahnans once more after three hundred years of oppression and hate.

** Following the wedding, you can find Cagali and Nottio living a peaceful life back in Cagali's home of Thistlym. When spoken to, Nottio will say he's the happiest man in the Twin Worlds... which is doubly heartwarming, because as the note on the term 'Twin Worlds' describes, not many people refer to Dahna and Rena as the Twin Worlds because it eliminates the master and slave relationship between the two peoples. Nottio is the first person in the game to use the term, suggesting that the Renans might be closer to growing past their oppression of Dahna than the party thinks.

* The sight of Ulzebek a year after the events of the main game. Not only are there planters filled with Roses of Unity, the end of most mining operations and thus a halt to the constant fires means that the area has actually started to recover, such that savanna grasses, weeds, and bushes are beginning to grow naturally, making the entire area far less inhospitable than it was before.

* Little incidental moments of kindness occur throughout the game, especially during sidequests. One sidequest that requires you to hunt down Zareh (the cat from the main game) has two Renans, a mother and son duo, fawning over Zareh. The mother, a Lenegis refugee, admits she's finding it difficult to entirely divorce herself from the mindset that Dahnans are their inferiors, but adamantly continues to try purely because of her love for her son and her own pride in his open-mindedness towards coexistence. Truly, there is no force greater than a mother's love. She even finds some success in overcoming her racist views by befriending Zareh.

** Further, the blue roses of Rena are still ''everywhere,'' and the game isn't shy about having them crop up across the map. Though there wasn't much of Rena left to merge with Dahna, and some of the hollowed seas unfortunately came with it, it's comforting to know that people accept Rena itself enough to preserve its manifestation.

** Also worth noting is the proliferation of pink and blue flowers in both the second anime opening and throughout the ending - these are vessels of light ''and dark'' astral energy, now appearing on Dahna in all their glory. As the party figured out, the Great Spirit of Rena ''wasn't'' evil; it was unable to contain its desire for astral energy and went out of control. The entire planet of Rena and the Great Spirit draw many parallels to the previous ''Tales Of'' villains [[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces Lambda and the Little Queens from Fodra,]] and once again, the heroes have a chance to incorporate misunderstood entities that simply didn't know better and felt they had no other options into the brilliant new world.

Honestly, the more I think about it the less sense the idea behind this entry makes. That Shionne became a lab rat for much of her life on its own suggests that the Thorns never manifested before her. That she exists at all seems like further proof. Even Alphen with his incredibly high pain tolerance (after gaining back his sense of pain) still fainted after embracing Shionne for more than a few seconds. It seems hard to conceive that Shionne's parents could have had sex if the Thorns were active. That Shionne has no fond memories of her childhood also suggests her parents were not loving toward her, if they were around at all.


* Shionne's existence, in an odd way. From [[spoiler:Naori]] down to Shionne's parents (presumably her mother), each would have had to find a mate willing to be close to them both emotionally and physically, despite the very real, and very painful issue of the Thorns (assuming the sealed Thorns functioned the same way through every generation of people). Shionne meeting Alphen and the two of them [[spoiler: finding a way to get rid of Shionne's thorns forever]] is actually the culmination of several generations of selfless love that the game only ever hints at.
