History, Locations, and Artifacts / Re: The Summoning Circle in Magus's Castle
« on: February 13, 2008, 01:57:28 am »
I'm pretty sure its significance is pretty much that it's just Magus' rug. In all seriousness, I doubt that little thought was given by the designers beyond "this looks cool and magical" in the design on this rug, no matter how attractive it looks.
The Xenosaga series is the type of game prone to absurd levels of symbolism, references, relationships between references and that sort of thing, where no potential reference can be immediately dismissed due to Tetsuya Takahashi's neurotic insistence on their inclusion. While I'm the first to say that Chrono Trigger is an amazing, life-changing game, it seems that people are often eager to make/find something significant when there is nothing beyond the superficial.

Reality, Real-World Connections, and the Supernatural / Kajar reference?

I apologize beforehand if this has been mentioned before, but while doing some unrelated research today I noticed that the second-to-last ruling dynasty of Iran was the Qajar Dynasty. From my understanding, in Arabic/Farsi romanization "K" can replace "Q". This interested me, given the Persian influence evident in Zeal. Haven't found anything on Enhasa yet, but things always seem to pop into view randomly around these parts.
