Question about the ending (obvious spoilers)

Kythis · 05-15-2012, 06:59 AM

What did Galbalan mean by "messenger of the white wings", "Black Ark", and his "master"?

Are these allusions to other Ys games? If not, how can I find out what he meant?

They are indeed allusions to other Ys games. Ys IV and Ys VI (a.k.a. The Ark of Napishtim) both deal pretty heavily with the lore of the Ys world, and that line (along with a few other small clues) helps tie The Oath in Felghana into that lore.

Ah okay. Little things like that intrigue me so I'll hope to play them someday soon and quell my curiosity.

Originally when I saw this thread, and the person's name who started it, I thought it was me who started this thread and was like "Wait, what? I know the answer to this question."

Our names are incredibly similar. (off topic post!)
