Deep Thoughts About Arcana

Just some things my mind has thought about while playing Arcana. Maybe some of you have the same things running through your heads. There will be no answers to the questions that may be posed (even if they are analyzed in other sections), just thoughts. If you want to contribute, just drop me a line on the address shown at the bottom.

If Rooks eats all the honey you found, and whatever you brought for him in towns with excess cash when you got near your maximum Gold, does he ever end up going hyper on the rest of the party?

After being stung by Teefa in Chapter 1, does Rooks get nervous when around Bee type monsters (that don't appear until Chapter 2)?

Why in the world is Darwin not looking for Teefa? He is supposed to be her guardian after all. Come to think of it, why is Salah left with one of the king's strongest knights, while Teefa, the older one, with a wandering elf?

What was that gift that Teefa wanted to give Rooks in Chapter 5 after you killed Karul? The game doesn't make it seem like any of the treasures were handed to him by her, only that they were won from boss fights. Do we even want to know the answer to this?

What was Axs thinking when he went to the Ice Mine alone, instead of waiting for Rooks and Salah to come back?

Who thought that making you go back and forth between three confusing floors was a good idea for the Ice Mine dungeon? I got lost a lot less in Stavery Tower on the sole virtue that 99.9% of the time you just have to find the stairs up.

Why did Axs split his duties guarding Salah to also help guard the Crystal Sword? And why is the Crystal Sword the only one without some sort of seal that requires royalty (Ariel did need Salah's help entering the Ice Mine's depths, while Teefa probably got forced into opening Stavery)?

Do the girls have an anime type fight over Rooks once the game ends?

Is Dao supposed to resemble The Incredible Hulk? I certainly made Hulk jokes to annoy my boyfriend while I played once.

What happened to Darwin's theme music in Chapter 5?

How come, despite not having seen each other in ten years, you never see a scene where Teefa and Salah talk? Heck, the only time they're on-screen together, Rooks and Axs do the talking. I would at least have wished my only sister good luck if I were either of them.

Why are the princesses using whips of all things in combat? I think our intrepid hero ought to be afraid...
