Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Continuing the theme of relation topics, do you believe that Odin and PSII's Tyler have any connection? Like Alys/Alis, they have similar names; Odin's original name is Tylon (or Tyrone or Tyron, depending on the translator). There's something of a physical resemblance, too.

They're both blonde and strong. I'd trade Shir for him. I bet he'd have been A LOT more useful! Anyway, that would be a nice series tie-in if they made Tyler a descendant of Odin. That way Odin would have some direct references through all 3 games.

You know, he's the only one that doesn't get mentioned in a game after PSI . People that see the Elsydeon sequence probably wonder who that guy is. There aren't direct references, like, "hey, look at Myau!" but the other characters are alluded to. There's "the old man", the telepathy ball keeps Noah around, and there's the Alis statue at Termi. No fair! Tyler being a descendant would give him a reference too!

I'm not sure about any connections. They do resemble one another, though. On another note, Odin, Tyler, and Rudo all look alike to me. Must be the blond hair and similar features.

Except that Shir probably jacked his ship while travelling back to Mota at some point.

Well, I'm guessing he figured that people would remember who he is; already being a legendary warrior and everything. That or his tribute got destroyed along with Palma.

Nice idea! We'll never know...

I don't know about Tyler... it would make sense, I suppose. All the other main PS1 chars are referenced even in 2, so Odin should be too.

What always struck me as odd about the legacy of the heroes was Myau being remembered as Alis' companion, especially on that statue in Termi. He was supposed to have been Odin's travelling partner originally, but somehow that was completely forgotten.

Oh, yeah. I never thought about that one! That is a major change.

Actually Odin is mentioned in every game:

PSGaiden: In the beginning the game talk about "Alis and Odin life" (almost like they were married)

PS2: «The glorious man who used to fight to save Algo is buried here» this is a sentence of an Esper in “Esper Mantion”
Lutz is alive at this time, if Old Man is really Myau and Arisa is still a woman, then they are talking about Odin.

PS4: In the final battle Gryz wears a Laconian Axe. Maybe Grandfather Dorin gave that to him. If you agree what was said above (PS2), maybe Rune (Lutz5) who is a good friend of grandfather Dorin gave him the laconian axe (witch was buried with "the glorious man" in Esper Mantion).

Why?
Maybe Rune, Alys and Dorin had an adventure together before PS4 (somehow that could be the reason why he know Alys sizes and why the three know each other) and Grandfather needed that Axe at that time or Lutz just felt he should leave the axe with Dorin to keep it just until the final moment arrived. They don't give much emphases to this because if it was too evident could interfere in people's choice for the final battle - they would always choose Gryz (with Odin's Axe - to join the 4 mystic weapons) instead of choosing the remain protectors.

I'm not so sure this references to Odin and not Noah/Lutz. Noah (or Lutz if you want) who fought Lassic and Dark Force 2000 years did die. His memories were on passed on to future generations but the physical man himself did die and it would seem logical to me they buried him in the Esper Mansion. It wouldn't be a reference to Myau in my eyes, whether Myau is the Old Man or not, since Myau will be considered a cat and not called a man. To go a bit off topic, recently I have started to think that the Old Man is a descendant of Myau, since he says that the Silver Tusk has been handed down for generations. If he really had been Myau, it wouldn't have been handed down to him from generations since it was acquired for him by Alis in PSI.
