And what in the world is a "Pleroma", and why did it replace "Boost/Amp" in SMT IV?

Wikipedia posted:

"Pleroma" generally refers to the totality of divine powers. The word means fullness from πληρόω ("I fill") comparable to πλήρης which means "full",[1] and is used in Christian theological contexts: both in Gnosticism generally, and by St. Paul the Apostle in Colossians 2:9 (the word is used 17 times in the NT).

As for why they used that word instead, :shrug:

Lover boy specifically feels like a Strange Journey reference to me. That's the only other SMT game that has a similar side quest, IIRC. Given how performas are basically formas with a prefix stapled on, I'm almost positive it's SJ specifically.

From the icon, I thought he was wearing a hat. There's a certain other character I could name that's too pervy for his own good, wears a blue hat, and is named Iori...

On the other hand, this guy is pretty solidly Anthony also.

Almost certainly, since Ike is the only Lord who has only male paired endings (Soren and Ranulf), and Soren has at least one base conversation in RD locked behind him and Ike getting to A-rank in PoR—and I do recall that they were pretty blatantly gay in both games even with the translation trying to make Ike seem straighter. I don't know anything about more recent material, though; maybe something in his Heroes dialogue?

Soren immediately asks where Ike is when you summon him in Heroes, but I think that might be it.
