** [[spoiler:Yulyana]]'s words in the Chapter 8 rematch with [[spoiler:De Rosso]] are "We're within the Asterisk Barrier. Absolutely impervious. ...In theory at least. Hm hm hm!". If any class could find a way out, surely it'd be the one that can enchant their sword with practically any form of magic.

** I don't recall it ''ever'' saying one of the goals of Anticrystalism is to kill all the vestals. There were ''individuals'' that were a part of it that wanted to kill them for their own reasons, but there others that wanted or preferred them captured alive, one of which was Braev--the leader--himself. Which makes sense considering he formed the movement with [=DeRosso=] and Yulyana, and thus was aware of the big picture all along.

*** Yes I know that but it doesn't fix the problem the fact that the crystal's are needed to keep the world balanced. If they leave the crystals as they are they just going to leave the crystals dark and corrupted which in turn effect the world? Isn't the reason why the sea is unsailable and the wind isn't working properly because the crystals were covered in darkness? Yes they don't want people to rely on the power of the crystal but the crystals are needed to keep the world balanced. Also they are technically relying on a crystal (I think the Earth Crystal?) to help with their White Magic hospital place.

* I know Anticrystalism is all gung-ho for stamping out the Crystalism and want to kill all the vestials but what are they going to do with the crystals? The crystals are necessary for the world's balance and if they left them corrupted then the world is going to still be bad. They didn't do a good job taking care of the Earth Crystal either. Are they just plan to leave the crystals as they are? The only ones who are known to be able to purify the crystals are the vestials yet they want to destroy them and the religion they are associated with.

* So, Ouroboros talks about how he wants to destroy the Celestial realm because it is a world of perfect peace, harmony, and love where hatred and conflict are unknown, and he wants to remake it to introduce those things. The Celestial Realm is ''our'' world. While I must admit we aren't a ''complete'' CrapsackWorld, we've definitely got hatred, conflict, sadness, etc. in spades and at times a distinct lack of peace, harmony, and love - no better and no worse than the world in the game (possibly worse, since we've got several dozen factions in any given conflict and several dozen equal-level conflicts, not just the Crystalist faction and non-Crystalist faction). Where is Ouroboros getting his information from, then, that he's so far off the mark? Did he just take one look at us, happen to see a kindergarten, decide that must be representative, and then work from that?

*** The Celestial is not Airy's sister. The end fight with Ouroboros has him reveal that he intends to invade the Celestial Realm, which shows behind him in the final battle and ultimately turns on the 3DS camera to show the player's face behind it. The Celestial keeping Tiz alive is YOU, the player.

[[folder:The Angel]]
* In all loops you visit, Lord DeRosso has the painting of their encounter with the Angel. Does that means more than one of Anges visited a different alternate world?

* [[spoiler:Edea's]] reaction to TheReveal that [[spoiler:Ringabel and Alternis are the same person]] makes very little sense when you consider [[spoiler:they were childhood friends and Alternis was in love with her for a long time, which she was aware of. Not only that, but it's revealed that Braev personally adopted Alternis and raised him as his own son alongside Edea. How did she not know what he looked like?]]
** [[spoiler:In the third loop, where the characters are given the chance to take the place of their versions in that world, Alternis does seem to imply that he donned the Dark Knight asterisk before meeting Braev, and rarely removed it (in public at least). It's possible that Edea may never have seen him out of armour, but that is a ''very'' big stretch of the imagination.]]
** [[spoiler: Except that both Braev and Mahzer recognize him as the one who brought Edea back so... plot contrivance or AWizardDidIt?]]
** [[spoiler: During his first loop as Alternis, Ringabel fell into lava and had to be nursed back to health. While not commented on in game, this is an at least plausible reason for a difference in appearance. ]]
** [[spoiler: It's possible that the game simply reused Ringabel's model for Alternis when in reality Alternis may have looked slightly different (or at least ditched the pompadour). It's amazing how a haircut and a change in personality can make a person unrecognisable. Also, Edea may have noticed some similarities but never bothered to point it out, after all Ringabel's and Alternis act nothing like each other early on.]]
** [[spoiler:It's probably a good thing to remember that, in the Japanese version, Ringabel/Alternis is only eighteen. Personal appearance is hardly stable during one's teen years. Alternis's journal also implies that he wears the armor almost constantly enough that going plainclothes is uncomfortable for him, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Edea hadn't seen him out of it for at least a couple of years.]]

* At the end, [[spoiler: why did Tiz die? It seemed like he died because whatever was giving him life force left...but he never died, if I'm remembering correctly.]]
** The reason likely was because Tiz [[spoiler: technically died when the Great Chasm swallowed Norende. Airy's sister gave her life to him and thus when Tiz, who technically was suppose to die, gave up that portion of his life, he died because he was living on borrowed time.]]
** [[spoiler: Yes, but it was never shown that he was dead, and it wasn't really hinted that there was anything keeping him alive, aside from the Summoner sidequest, and that was kinda vague (again, if I'm remembering correctly.]]
