Trivia

• In addition to being Greek god of war, Ares could also be a nod to the protagonist of Brandish games, another series by Falcom.
• It is possible that the Illburns Ruins was a religious site dedicated to Ares. However, given that Bishop Nikolas first made contact with Galbalan at the Illburns Ruins, it could have been dedicated to Galbalan instead.
