Just realized having just played through these games... these aren't actually correct, there was no "sabotage". Meruru's Youth Potion doesn't actually work at all and Astrid takes up her research on her own to create the two "eternal youth" potions. I'm going to tweak this entry to be correct to the game events. Also we needed some consistency on the spoiler tags. Finally, the description of what happens in the Plus ending is pretty well covered on the page and better falls under the Authors Saving Throw entry it already has.

It's the only set you can't build before New Game Plus due to both Gio and Makina Domain being unplayable in the first playthrough.

much heat for doing the deed. Two of the endings make it worse! In one ending where you make a Youth Potion that restores her normal age, Astrid '''sabotages''' it to to only age her back to 14 with her memories still a wreck, with Astrid delivering the above message. In another, Witch's Tea Party, she forcefully renders all 3 Arland protagonists and herself to be 14 forever, citing it as an "ideal age". Some fans even treat the endings as the MoralEventHorizon.
