Spoilers: Garlean Science

I'd love to have more background information and story about Aulus mal Asina the scientist who helped create the Resonants, I mean isn't this pretty important in the grand scheme of things? He essentially gave Garleans the power to use magic and stuff right? Is his research wholly destroyed..or did he send it on to garlemald....yes he was a boss in the Ala Mhigo dungeon...but he better not be dead lol

5.0 - Garlemald

Please look forward to it!

I highly doubt we've heard the end of it.

Spoilers for those who haven't completely finished the SB MSQ.

In one of the cutscenes at the very tail end of the MSQ you see the Garlean emperor Varis zos Galvus talking to the white Ascian Elidibus and their dialog heavily implies that the experiments are/will continue to be important. At one point lamenting Zenos' death as 'the lost of an important test subject.'

Of course it'll be back... The whole Garlean Empire is filled with nothing more than mustache twirling villains who have no problems torturing, experimenting on and wiping out thousands of innocent civilians, even their own people. When one falls, another is around to take their place.

Yes we need more anime mad scientist. This is an interesting part of our garlean enemies that should be expanded upon. I may have missed it but I never understood why Urianger didn't want us to know about the tool used to counter the hypertuned Fordola.

He reasoned that if she was utilizing some form of clairvoyance that she might've been able to discern our intent if we knew exactly what the device was doing and counteract it somehow.

Could be, but if we go by that logic after our first use shouldn't she have "figured it out" and countered the effects? I was thinking it had something to do with aether and potentially dangerous side effects.

Oooh I totally forgot about that, but Im glad its not going to be forgotten storywise, its a really important development for the empire.

While I agree with your counterpoint here and felt the same way as you after it was explained to the player later, this was exactly his intent of not telling you anything about it. It would've been better if we only had to use it once on her and then go from there.

One thing about Castrum Abania I noticed:

The boss, Inferno. The scientist operating behind the scenes calls it "Little one", you also notice it has a third eye so is likely a Garlean child, it's things like this which are unsettling to me but I can't wait to see more.

I agree, it is rather disturbing.

I knew the garleans were extremely advanced technologically, but I thought robotics was where it began and ended - I never expected them to take the allagan route and actually begin bioengineering and playing with genetics like that. Though in retrospect, considering they see themselves as the rightful heirs of allag, I suppose it was only natural they'd eventually go there.

Except that although she was aware that the device could create problems for her, you were not aware of how or why it did it, so she could not skim that knowledge from your mind. Also, the heat of battle is a poor place to have leaps of cognitive brilliance for someone such as Fordola. Once her blood was up, she was simply a super reactive, hyped up version of herself.

Umm I'd also like to ask in the same topic, because i don't want to make another.....
What happened to Yuyuhase and the other crystal brave of Ilberd (the hyur) they didn't die at baelsars wall....did they?

The story point about the experimentation and augmentation reminded me somewhat of Xenosaga. Even some of the music is reminiscent. But the scientist in his hover chair....Dr Sellers I presume. He was a devious little evil toad as well.
