Maybe it'll be an allusion to immigration, and soon you'll have older town-peoples complaining about all the newcomers stealing their jobs.
You mean that Mist isn't going to get her in her clutches?

With another farm, right next to yours... somehow

Except that we’ve totally established that the Guardians can be turned human-ish again with no problem. The smart solution here would be to have a rotating staff of Guardians, maybe doing one year shifts. How hard could it be to find 12-16 people who would be willing to give up one year out of every three or four in order to keep a dragon god king alive?
With a little thought and some logistics work...

nah, that's too hard and not worth it.

Obviously this would turn into Record of Agarest, except that when the protagonist of one geneation is old enough to turn into a magical lightning horse, their grandfather (who was the previous magical lightning horse) turns back and rejoins the community.

Presumably still looking like the teenager he was when he took on the mantle of being a magical lightning horse.

Being a guardian seems like the opposite of dying though, if some of them are like 100+ years from the time they turned into a bossmob.

Besides, this game/series uses the explanation that weapons have a spell on them which sends monsters to the Forest of Beginnings, right?

So just summon that guy (Omnigate?) and grab a sharp unenchanted piece of steel, and impale on on it. Done.


This is a setting where you have every single weapon or tool enchanted to sent monsters back "home", and then there's tanks. Which I assume are not non-lethal when used on humans...

If only he had lost his memory and spent the 20 years or so grinding out skills, one hammer blow on rock at a time.

If anything, everybody else seems to be better at treasure finding than Art. Art has to be standing right next to and facing a hidden item to see it, while party members can detect them from a distance.
More like they can detect it in an area, but can never actually get to it, open it, and loot it.

Really, any argument about the unique qualities of earthmates that bases itself on gameplay mechanics is inherently flawed, because Micah isn't actually an earthmate, and he can still do basically all of those things.
Maybe it's only earthmates among humans that can do it, and monsters are more in tune with the earth already. They do spawn endlessly.

So, are there unicorn-like mobs you can tame and, of course, ride?

Sometimes you just gotta reorder the natural order.
