So! I have heard some before saying Ys Seven had absolutely no relation with the Winged Ones, right? Well, I investigated the matter and kept my eyes really open while playing the game to spot just anything I could find, and...
Thoughts? Anything else anyone spotted?
Yes! There ARE connections to them.
More precisely, connections with Feena and/or Reah, so far.
I have spotted two things:
[1] Enter the Hidden Village of Iska, then bring up the map. Look at its shape. Now compare it to the shape of Feena's/Reah's Golden/Silver Pendant. This was done VERY purposefully, no doubt about it;
[2] The two moons visible in the Hidden Village of Iska and in the Moon Sanctum are very likely related to both Ys Goddesses. The two moons, however, seem to be visible/spread throughout the whole world, but I believe it was said somewhere before, in some game or outside a game, that the two moons are related to the Twin Goddesses in some way.
And, since the Iskans are "protectors of the moon", which means protectors of balance/order... hm, and their village being shaped the way it is... With two moons everyone knows from Ys I & II remakes easily visible in the village... Something is up. Maybe when the escaping Iskans from 200 years before Ys Seven created the hidden village, they had some reason for designing the village that way?
What the hell does all that mean?
And I don't think Falcom was "poking fun" at the fans by inserting some lol-reference either. It felt more like a hint.
Oh, and Tialuna's and Scias' "wings" on the back could have some meaning, too. They are at least suspicious. The Iskan Elder and the Dual Blade lineages are the only people to seem capable of this... I at least figured Tia was not the only Elder/Eldress capable of it, because in the Wind Sanctum, in the Shrine parts, you see throughout it some statues of some woman with "wings" like Tia's, with the statue obviously hinting it was depicting an Iskan Eldress. Looked a lot like Tia, but didn't look like tia herself. Anyway, since no person entered the Sanctums for A LONG time, that means the statues were there for just as long or even longer, and thus could not be Tia's as she was not born yet.
