Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (186)

That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I think the plot of Star Ocean 3 might have something to do with it. Also, small nitpick: Narl is saying the Ten Wise Men 'escaped and returned to Expel', but as far as we know, they had never been to Expel before. Or is Narl implying that they had? Somehow I doubt it.

Millions of years have passed since the Ten Wise Men were imprisoned in the 'Eternity Space' where time stands still, and the Nedians have been living in isolation from the rest of the universe so far. You might have noticed, though, that Rena is somehow an exception to this isolation: how did she get to Expel from Nede? That's a (uselessly contrived) plot point which will be revealed later on, towards the end of the game.

Now we can all see the evil Ten Wise Men have escaped from their Eternity Space prison (we have no idea where it is nor how it works), and somehow migrated to Expel with the Quadratic Sphere (the Sorcery Globe; we also have no idea where they got that). Their plan was to return to Nede (or, rather, get to Energy Nede) for some reason we are never really told about. And I was even hoping we would get some sensible answers regarding the plot... silly me.
