Yes, I think Airy's sister was what was keeping Tiz from being in a coma for most of the game. She basically became his life-force after the chasm incident, and after she left, Tiz fainted and fell into a coma (to be seen later in the post-game sequel teaser movie.)
Yeah, Magnolia seems pretty great - can't wait to see more of the sequel.
I wonder how much time has passed since the first game.
Well, in an infinite world/multi-verse scenario, I'm sure Alternis fell into the the holy pillar an infinite number of times, so I don't think Ringabel is really unique in the sense that it never happens anywhere else. *shrug* The more confusing thing is what you mentioned next - did Ringabel time travel (somehow?) to when Airy was going to kill his friends and save them? I honestly wish they hadn't used that scene because it just complicates things further. If he does save them, then the game would have never happened like you said, lol. Besides, I want to believe that Ringabel stayed with the group that saved the worlds anyways. And the game made it seem like they had one chance to choose the world they *all* wanted to go - I don't think they got individual choices (either they stayed in the World 6 or everyone chose a previous world to go back to). I mean, that's the impression I got from the Sage before they left. I dunno.. like I said, that scene really makes no sense to me.
