Yeah, I pointed some time ago Riona and Arieth's anagrams and was pretty much laughed at . I even though of something bad happening to Arieth. You never expect it happening to comic relief characters, so it always comes as a surprise. (Even though lots of people started doing it and now it's also a trope). That was before ep. 4's crabs, mind you. I only had her conversation with Dawe that hinted something.You missed my point spectacularly, I said that Sage's facial expressioin, during the scene where MC told her that his mum dies in childbirth, reminded me ever so slightly over Rinoa's expression when she realises that Squall is dancing badly on purpose (this is a Final Fantasy VIII reference).
It doesn't apply directly but the fact that there is an Aerith in the game (and a Riona which is an anagram) makes it stand out to me. My brain works that way, I pick out reference points that apply obliquely. Sometimes I come across people who need their references to be direct.
