While playing this part of the game I couldn't help but notice how often Rena mentions Ernest: it's almost like she cares more about him than Opera, his lover, does. Either Rena's fascinated by the adventurous behaviour of this Ernest guy, or she's simply being down-to-earth (or, rather, down-to-Expel, haha...), while Opera's just being an air-head... Well, she IS a bit air-headed after all, you can tell right away the first time you meet her; but this doesn't really go well with her perseverance in chasing after Ernest, even across planets. Hmm...We got pretty far into this cavern... er, ruins site or whatever. I can't help but wonder why the designers of this game couldn't elaborate a bit more on this strange place: I mean, it's fine if you want to leave it to our imagination, but here, what's to imagine? Actually, knowing a bit about the story of Star Ocean 3 (I haven't played it though), I think I've lost interest in those details, but you can't just overlook such finely created backgrounds, can you?
Ernest Raviede, the interplanetary adventurer with a whip but without a hat, seems to have already left, so Opera promptly agrees to join the group when asked (I was actually surprised at her instantaneous resolution), in hopes of finding her love during their travels. I'll briefly describe Ernest here because I won't recruit him: he's blonde and has three eyes like Opera, he's a Tetragene, and wears something that resembles either a kimono or pajamas; his fighting techniques and equipment suck, and he has very few Private Actions, none of which are great. End of story.
