I guess I could just put the game on mute if I want to run around and fight as Sonia, then. *shrug*

Why does it look like the Wooly Hat on Sonja is larger and lop-sided compared to the one that the one Aden/Azel wears?

I like Sonia's sounds too, I don't get why most people find them annoying. (thus why I asked)

@Googa, you can get a recipe book you've already had. Some requests give the same recipe as a different request.

@Mothership, want me to post a picture of my map? Pretty sure I have all the islands.

This isn't an island, though. I'm looking for the shipwreck where the Red Trolls are. According to the Monster Guide, the wreck is in H4, but I can't find it there. Is it marked on your map? If so, please post it.

Well shipwrecks/islands/hanging gardens/etc. are all marked on the map with Xs... (edit: Just realized what you meant in your last post. I meant that I think I have all the islands/shipwrecks/etc. on the map, or I think I do anyway.) Okay, should have said sea chart, but yeah, I'll post it. Besides, I need to get a screenie of it anyway.

Edit: Je te presente.. (I present to you)

Full map, possibly missing a few.

Here I have your shipwreck selected. I didn't check if it was some island or shipwreck though.

That's great you were able to find it Mothership :3

But there are three Pharmacy books. I have all three but only got recipes twice. So unless the third book is useless I should have gotten new recipes :<

Few... So I'm not the only one to think that Sonia isn't annoying at all.

By the way, I recently noticed something, following a discussion (somewhere around page 170 if I do remember) about the three sisters lineage. I could be totally wrong, but... Anyway, look:
Spoiler:
Lily = Mist [They're both klutz, innocent and... air headed ?]
Odette = Mana [... Huuuh... Business sense !]
Violet = Shana [Passion for flowers, of course ~]

But also...

Mist = First RF = Oldest = Lily = Oldest Sister
Mana = Second RF = Second oldest = Odette = Second oldest sister
Shana = Third RF = Youngest = Violet = Youngest sister

/!\ SPOILER [I can't put a Spoiler in a Spoiler =.=']

And even more !

Somewhere, I've read that the three sisters restore each a temple. It goes like that:
(Correct me if I'm wrong)

Lily = Earth
Odette = Fire
Violet = Water

...


Well, guess what ?

Earth = First RF
Fire = Second RF
Water = Third RF

I'm obviously talking about the elder dragons that appear in each game.
This is my theory, but... like I said, I could be totally wrong xD

@Chibicott: ....oh wow, I didn't notice that right away... o.O Really interesting. It is a very pervasive trend at least, very cool! I found it interesting the parallels between what people like/dislike in the various RFs as well. For instance:

Lily and Annette both enjoy raw fruit
Violet and Mist share the favorite flower of Emery flower

I initially thought Mist and Violet were more similar in likes and in personality, but as I got through ToD I see that is not really the case.

Your parallels are also rather intersting because ToD is supposedly on a different timeline than the DS games, but from your analysis is still really cohesive with the game's storyline.

Thanks for the map, BananaSlurpee :) I found what I was looking for, plus several other places I hadn't found yet. So you were a big help :)

Wow, that's really neat comparison/theory. I don't think they are necessarily related, but the line up and comparison is almost definitely on purpose and interesting.

That is really neat Chibicott.
Spoiler:
But even if they are related it must not be very close. Because at ToDs point in the time line Mist is either single or just got married, Mana is a little girl, and Shara could be possibly be a toddler. So they can't all be directly related. Since none of them are mothers or daughters of each other but maybe distant cousins. And even if they aren't related they still could have done that on purpose as a little nod to the past games.

That's really interesting, actually.
I wonder if Neverland planned it like that. :'D
It'd probably help decide who'd be what element. XD

Question...
Spoiler:
Does anyone know how to trigger Sonja's event that you can't experience by talking to her? I forgot what number, but I think it's eight or nine hearts.

I did it by just walking into the inn during the day. I don't remember what time it was ':D. But it was either morning or afternoon on a sunny day. Not much help ':D. After that event you active the next one by talking to her. She has to have enough LP first though X3.

I also don't think it's completely related, however the way the Game Producers let it be maybe under-mean something along those lines. Actually, until I met Anette, I tought that TOD took place before the events of the past RF. So basically, that the three sister were the ancestors and not the contrary. Sadly, I was pretty much wrong xD
