Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Okay, okay, I should have provided a source initially. Shoulda coulda woulda! I thought this was common knowledge, people! I searched and found it, but I think I found it somewhere else, too. I'll have to use my librarian powers further. Anyway, here it is in this walkthough, under "character descriptions":

With that being said, I'm anxious to see this story you're concocting R_W and was curious if you'd might be interested in a joint venture.....

Thanks, Dark. You're a cool one. And what is this about a joint venture? I'm intrigued!

Cool one eh? If I didn't know any better I'd say you were being sarcastic Well the joint venture I'm proposing is in regards to this fan-fic you mentioned. Not to say I've forgotten about mine but I'm interested in doing a fan-fic with you and this particular one seems to be a good start, assuming you're interested that is. I certainly don't want to intrude.

I'll PM you.

I looked at the link, but it's just a faq written by someone. It's not official, and they presume Lena to be dead (which is likely, considering) and if she has passed on, the reason why was never stated... the game was left open for fan interpretation, I guess. I don't mean to pick at things like this, really...I am just picky when it comes to the game. ^^;; Still, with how open the game is, it really does leave a lot of room for one's imagination to fill in the gaps.

No worries, Tsu! But does anyone know if the compendium mentions anything about this whole situation? (Confirm or deny her dying of heartache?)

It's worth a look, but as far as I know PSIII information is limited in the compendium. =\

*runs off and looks*

I have returned. Saw nothing along those lines (or any other mentions of the fate of characters in the long run). Kinda figured, though, as the compendium mostly goes over the other Phantasy Stars. ^^;;

Found this interesting bit on Lena...

Someone else mentions the possibility of Lena dying "from a broken heart."

It's pretty sad to think that Lena would let her health decline over Rhys's rejection. I hope it's not truly the case, although if Rhys is Sari's biological father I guess I can see her having more of an emotional investment in Rhys even after the quest is over.

Then again, I can draw from real life experience here, after my first husband left me when I was pregnant with our son. It was terrible, don't get me wrong, but I don't yearn for him at all. In fact, most people I know in similar circumstances eventually end up angry at the other party involved, not lost in heartache. I guess that's why I hope Lena had the same sort of resilience.

What an awful thing to go through... I am sorry that happened to you, Tanith.

I think Lena really loved Rhys. But maybe the whole ordeal was just groundbreaking for the whole kingdom; Rhys giving up his family, friends, kingdom, and people for a Layan woman, no doubt, had to be quite the scandal. Lena, as his friend, would be prone to defend him. She is, after all, the woman and friend who risked her own life to help Rhys find Maia. Perhaps the stress of it all was too much to take.

Here's some profile images. Sari does look like a combination of Rhys and Lena. Check out the bangs, the pointy nose, and the larger black eyes. She's even wearing the same scowl and look of determination Rhys has:





Anyone else see the family resemblance?
