Triple post! Ah!

Yeah, that's a noodle scratcher.
* How can Rolf not recall a person from a tragic event 10 years ago? Who saved his life. If anything, he wouldnt forget it.
Repression of an extremely traumatic event. Rolf might have been unconscious through the entire event, and Lutz just dropped Rolf off at the orphanage and warped back to Hogwarts.
*Why would thieves lock their items and money in a very dangerous place--to them?
Shure might have originally been a safe, secure location but was breached by biomonsters who quickly overran the entire building.
* I wonder at what point in the game the military stopped paying Rolf his paychecks. They even condemn him to death---but they dont dare put surveillance on his house a 5 minute walk from HQ. If anything, it woulda been a guaranteed arrest for Shir, the only one with a prior record.
I figure the Commander is doing a *lot* of behind the scenes work to keep the military away from Rolf when he's in town. He's probably slipping him some cash under the table. What I don't get is why Rolf gets meseta for busting up government property (the robots). He sells them for scrap?
Also, has Shir ever been caught? Perhaps she doesn't have a record.
Phantasy Star IV:
*how most if not all of Algol forgot Rolf and co's ultimate sacrifice (and a much harder fight) but they dont forget about sweet ole' Alis. Shucks.
Who, besides Lutz, knew Rolf and his team saved Algol? At some point, Rolf stopped communicating with the Commander, so maybe word just didn't get out. The remaining citizens of Algol might have had a complicated view of Rolf's deeds. In the time Rolf was saving Algol, he was branded a terrorist and traitor, Palma went kaboom, Motavia lost most of its climate-controlling systems, and most of Algol's technology was lost. Some years later, a piece of Palma slams into Motavia and kills off even more of the population. Maybe enough people continued to believe they were better off under the Mother Brain network. Maybe people just didn't know about Rolf's final sacrifice.
*What did the espers do with the cryonic machine? somebody must have still had it.
It was probably deemed obsolete with the creation of the Lutz Ball 2000. Also, there may not have been enough power to keep the machine online.
* Rune says he chose chaz to fight for algol, but obviously chaz is some sort of relation to rolf, from his blonde side of the family, which means he too is a Landale and thus couldnt have been chosen by Rune since it was fate regardless.
Wait, what? I don't remember Chaz being descended from the Landale clan.
* If the great evil is defeated at the end of the game, is it not logical for the 2 robots, err, androids, to just shut off and die?
They were going to continue monitoring Motavia's weather systems until the systems failed or the people no longer needed them. A noble thing to do. Plus, Wren and Demi seemed to have enough humanity that perhaps they didn't want to shut down.
