This isn't really funny, but Star Ocean 2 has a good deal of things like this: people whose behaviour closely resembles the one commonly found nowadays, especially when it comes to tourists. I remember that on the second planet there's a guy staying at a hotel, and he promptly states that he's going to take with him the hotel's consumables (towels, soap, slippers and the like) when quitting his stay, which is quite a common practice.Lacour Castle is open to visitors on the days of the Tournament of Arms. Claude and his friends go straight to the throne room, even though they said they couldn't have an audience, only to find this group of tourists, apparently from all kind of places, having a tour of the castle. The king's room upstairs is inaccessible, and in the basement there's a cat-eared brat who can't stand the crowd getting in places where they shouldn't; he's also got blue hair, go figure...
But wait, cat-ears? Or whatever animal those ears belong to - he's the only one on Expel like that; I'm pretty sure his parents don't have them either. Later on you may find out that he's a Fellpool (a race you can find in the first Star Ocean), so I guess he may even have a tail. However, all the people around him seem more concerned with his genius and bad character, rather than his weird appearance; now that I think about it, even Rena, who has those long pointy ears, doesn't seem to bother the people of Arlia. Maybe it's just a message against racism. Or am I reading too much into it?
