Perhaps that's why he's brooding outside Flanoir? Additionally, Zelos more or less admits during the Flanoir scene that the snow reminds him of his mother's death. In Flanoir, Lloyd saying either "I trust you" or "I want you to live too, Zelos" - showing Zelos that he does care - is pretty much what keeps Zelos from committing Suicide by Cop. In Zelos's skit, if you pick the positive response, Lloyd observes that Zelos is brooding more than usual, and Zelos seems really surprised by the fact that Lloyd might actually care. That's the exact decision you make in Flanoir to keep him or not. Kratos's skit is one where you must choose whether to talk to him or ignore him. Flanoir is where you make the decision between keeping Zelos and or inviting Kratos back into your party. But the two skits outside Flanoir make so much sense. The placement of the skits - the ones where you can choose a response which might affect your relationship with the character - seems to be mostly random.For people who didn't get the joke, Cats is an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. When you go to the night-time area of Altamira, you can see a stage play being performed by the Katz.This implies that fruit are rare commodities in the declining Sylvarant, so it makes sense that Colette, who grew up in Sylvarant, would prize being able to eat fruit so readily. If someone looks at the inventories of different shops in the game, they will see that no shops in Sylvarant sell fruit. Colette's favorite food is any kind of fruit, to the point that she will put fruit in her cooking any chance she possibly can get, and giving her any food with fruit in it will raise her Relationship Values.
"Fighting of the Spirit" plays in this game and its sequel Tales of Phantasia whenever you fight a summon spirit. This also happens with one of the battle themes as well. The end sequence music is the same tune used in the end sequence of Tales of Phantasia.In case you don't get it, it's supposed to rhyme (the English version of the game screwed it up.). Noishe, while only IDed as a "dog" or "protozoa" in game, quite clearly fits the description of a Cu Sith (pronounced "coo shee" of Scottish Mythology.The reason he didn't get a perfect score is probably because history books are not always accurate. He is also a lot smarter than he seems at first Zelos grew up in the large city of Meltokio, had sufficient resources and privilege to pursue whatever he wanted, and lives in a world much more advanced than Sylvarant.Regal in particular is a successful businessman running a large company in Tethe'alla. Presea and Regal are much older and more experienced than Lloyd and Colette.Colette doesn't seem dumb, but she's also characterized as naive and inexperienced.On top of that, she tends to have self-confidence issues that might have undermined her performance on the test. Sheena grew up in an isolated village.While this seems at first to be just another gag on Lloyd's stupidity, you eventually realize that all the scores make perfect sense in context: In the test-taking scene at the Palmacosta Academy, we get everyone's scores - Lloyd gets 25, Sheena 190, Colette 210, Presea 240, Regal 290, Zelos 300, Kratos 380, and Raine gets a perfect score.Kratos and Presea, the two playable characters with a leitmotif not in common time, are also the two characters whose aging processes have been changed by Exspheres.Why do so many of Lloyd's (and various other characters') artes have demonic-sounding names? Because demons are the opposite of angels, and the angels are the enemies.And while the typical efficiency-obsessed workaholic may think it would be awesome if they didn't have to eat, sleep, or feel uncomfortably hot or cold, the way Colette's transformation is portrayed negatively is a reminder to all of us to appreciate the little "inconveniences" that make us human. Colette's angel transformation greatly resemble the symptoms of depression.Being a Nice Guy, once he's aware of how it sounds no wonder he ditches it! Lloyd ditching "Give me your name and I'll give you mine" in Tethe'alla comes directly after Raine borrows it (in their first meeting with Zelos) and he notes it sounds rather arrogant.Lloyd's vices at the beginning of the story represent the opposite of what Colette goes through during her angel transformation - he's a Big Eater, he oversleeps (and sleeps in class), he constantly complains about being uncomfortably hot in Triet, and he talks too much.
