Well, there are hints everywhere, just Google "site:http://rpgmaker.net/games/5762" and the people you're missing...
Housekeeping, could you make another tab, with just the Recruitment Info, or perhaps I'll make a guide in Excel, not likely though...
A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky
ACTUAL QUESTIONS
I can't believe I didn't ask this yet...
In which case Ivy gets "Don't. Use. Me. As. An. Excuse!" from Mint... if she hasn't learned that lesson yet...
Which might still go the same way as above...
I wonder how Avishun would react to its Princess being rescued by Wingless?
No matter how it goes, Ivy's not going into the Wasteland for 30 years!
Ivy finds a cure or a medicine for Mint, via Silver Spring's hospital or something, perhaps Oliver knows a medical droid in Attis?
Someone might inform Silvia about the Flying Mountain, and Solomon's Records...
Wait... what did she do in the Terra-2 Facility, other than explore it? Did she see Solomon's messages about her already, and just block it out?
Well, I started the Major Update on a New Game Plus, so I guess it didn't count my previous game's chests, even though I had the Goblin King's Right Claw. (That claw has Ares's Staff as a pre-req.)
Also:
Wow... that dialogue when you give Mint the pink teddy bear! And I was NG+, so it was only like... 5 minutes, instead of the hour(s) of the dialogue... lol!
Now I really feel like disassembling the game, just to see all your awesome dialogue!
Given what I know, I feel that Switch should have been more helpful with the Path of the Gods, giving more warning than just 'It's dangerous.' Heck, I would have thought she'd lend a light? Unless the puzzle magic affects every light source like a Harry Potter Deluminator...
Rambles:
... Sorry, but after playing through the game twice, I wanna a skipping feature so I can do my last bonus ending, and have fun with rewatching my favorite scenes over and over again... But, then again, I'm jaded, and I could have done that ending on my second run, if I didn't feel like advancing the plot...
... It's just that it's lagging so much, sorta. It's infrequent, but when it happens, I just HATE it, 'cause I know the game could go SO MUCH FASTER... ... Damn my computer... I'm gonna transfer the game to a better one...
I can't believe I didn't ask this yet...
What if Mint survived the trip to the Flying Mountain? Perhaps without collapsing, but really that's like only in a very small percentage of timelines...
And she keeps living...
There's two general outcomes, and a lot of other possibilities after that.

- Mint is bedridden

Certain chests that require doing something special (such as the one containing Ares's staff) have to be opened in order for the recipe to appear. If you've already opened it and it's not showing up, let me know.

Also:
In the first visit to Silver Spring, how could Ivy and Cyril see the funeral with the Church in the way? When Ivy said "What is that?" I expected Cyril to answer "A church, it's a building that... "
Also also, was it mentioned why Oliver stopped running the theater? Oh! I guess it was 'cause he heard about Raccoon's plans and wanted to learn more, then joined up...

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

I'm willing to accept that this fantasy religion just happens to be nearly identical to Christianity for ease of storytelling, but I have to wonder why the Somnians still have Christianity's positive associations with angels when they only know them as "those monsters who tried to kill us". Considering that our modern interpretation of angels is vastly different from how they originally appeared, in a world where they physically existed I imagine popular opinion would shift even more strongly.
Well, it could be that what Somnians call 'Angels' is more like 'Winged, Capricious, Controllers of the World', so more like gods, in that you want their favor, but also fear them.
Hmmm... I guess that Mint and Ivy learned the word from Gram, as a descriptor for Rose, and he explained it to them... and perhaps a bit about where he came from, or not...
I handwave that "The language of Somnians and Lydians is like Newspeak or something, so Ivy can know words like 'Vegetarian' as 'Only-Eats-Plants'.
Handwaving the Soul Tears as Ivy's special power as either a personal power or from being a Lydian-Somnian Hybrid, that is activated from when she forms bonds with people... or something, like Megaman Battle Network's Soul Unison...
Word Error Thing (Buffy Speak!)
After retaking Balfur, you still have Oliver saying " only took one crystal from the God's Eye," when you previously said that he took two at the first space elevator scene, if IRRC... The latter of which was a fix for the Writers Cannot Do Math, as noted on TvTropes?
Also, no recipe for Ares's Staff?
The Green Vein Shortcut disappeared...
... Have to go back for that one ending...
Wild Guess for Bonus Endings! Spoilers!
That large void thing in the Before Green Heart Bonus Ending, is the Simulator's Recycle Bin, or where recycled data goes before it's overwritten.
It's also just 'Centuries Later', I assume inside the simulator... so their bodies are all okay, so they could go back out... even Raccoon... maybe...
Hmmm... if droids can into the Simulator, then can minds in the simulator use a droid body to leave?
Typo for Amos's Dialogue on Bonus Endings:
"I heard there (are) 1 more."
Typo from beginning dialogue:
The past tense of 'forbid' is 'forbade', you use 'Dad forbid...' in quick succession, so I noticed...
Oh!
Did the Somnians in the Desert Town, meet Pallance?
Wait... searching the thread with 'Pallance'...

@Malandy: Yeah, you can only do those quests once; they're one of the things that doesn't reset with a new game+ since the rewards carry over.
I mean that you can't fight them via Mort...
Thanks for the answers! And you're welcome for the finds! Gonna update after I save...
A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

You can't refight the bosses at Mort until you beat the game, so I'm assuming you're using a new file. If not, then that's weird and I don't know what's wrong.
I mean like the quest bosses:
Claire, Ded Moroz, The Mother, Silent Lake Matriarch, Ruby...
author=HousekeepingAvishun's still a monarchy. Maybe that will change in the future, but it's pretty well-ingrained in their society at this point.
So who does Yvette marry/have kids with? If she doesn't have kids, how does thew monarchy continue? Does she have like a hidden cousin or something? Or is she too old for that now? At game's end, she's like... 45+... so menopause is gonna set in soon? Unless that's not a thing for Lydians?
Also, what's the canon state of Sanctuary at Game's End?

Thanks for the answers!
I can't enter the Old Kings' Tombs in Old Balfur, can I?
Also, my Essence of Flame recipe didn't track the amount of Magic Powder B's I had, until I crafted enough (which still didn't change the text) and used up the recipe, which reset the Magic Powder B counter in the recipe to 0.
A save of that is in my Locker.
Hey... I just realized... Berserk for Leif doesn't have an icon, and isn't undone by Unbuff Light (strange light)...
Rambling:
I think Expert Arena B's harder than Expert Arena A, 'cause you face more guys, with more instant death attacks... But it is stopped by the Everything's Okay Bell...
Wow... so that's who Expert A Battle 2 is... I wonder if he resurrects his companions if I didn't kill him first...
I'm slightly irritated that I pressed too fast and accidentally forfeited, with just one of those companions left! Argh... Well, gonna go restock, and advance the plot...
Hmm... I know who's battle Expert A-4... but who's battle Expert A-3? Will I guess correctly, before I reach him... Or is it her...? Hmm... (Just rambling... not an actual question!)
So, I don't think Minerva's mom gets a portrait, right?
Do the Champions that I don't kill, reappear anywhere?
Creatures bigger than the battle screen, have you seen any?

@Malandy:if you're talking about their reactions to realizing that this place exists, then that'd be another thing entirely. It'd be difficult to go into everyone's reactions, so I'm probably not going to answer this question satisfactorily.
That is what I meant, thank you.
So, do you have an explanation for the Silver Spring Prison Puzzles, other than, 'I wanted a puzzle.'? ... It's a cool puzzle, just wondering if there was an in-universe reason for it...
Oh! The working name for this was "Time's Shadow"... What did it mean? Does it still fit as the title of the game?...
The Ancient Civilization and how the future is the modern "Time's Shadow" or something?
Huh... So I can't re-fight the bonus bosses... Ah well...
Yay! No more needing to be stingy with my crafting!
More specific questions about their world, post-game:
You've said that:
author=HousekeepingYvette retakes her throne, but that would happen after the events of the game, anyway).
So, does that mean Avishun is a monarchy for a while longer, or does Yvette convert Avishun to the Sanctuary/Silver Spring way of Democracy?
What happens to the other countries?
I assume that Yvette sends help to the droids' city.
Does technological development due to the discovery of more Ancient Lydian facilities? Although... the Space Station is well... in space. I bet Solomon wouldn't like people using him just as a source of info...
How does religion change in the short-term? Or the long-term, if you've thought about that...:
Creatures bigger than the battle screen, have you seen any?
When looking through this HELP ME COME UP WITH (BIG) CREATURES, I was wondering if anyone remembers seeing battles in RPG Maker games where the enemy was larger than the battle screen...
So, anyone remember any?

... I actually meant to ask what the Young versions of the Party would see in the Shared Dream... ... Did I edit that out? Must have...
I guess it wouldn't be that different, ... would it?
Also, how would various characters, like Cecille, and others, react to the Soul Tears Temple?
How do people normally get to Alluvia, if not by Teleporter?
Small Graphical Glitch
The Logos-3 right-most moving platform shifts Ivy to the right of the platform when using it to return to the middle set of portal rooms.
Wait...
What happened to the world after the end of the game?
You can only get Mint's Ribbon once? Well, makes sense, 'cause it only has one use...

Okay, here's a bug:
Also, here's a comment:
If I had a different Party go through that area, what would they see? Guesses below.
Frozen Man BUG!
Now I'm gonna check if the other part of that quest is active... Yep... Fire Fight Go! And the rest of the quest works! Except for the meeting part... all I get is an "Amusing..." ... Is that a joke?
In the Shared Dream Forest, where Mint says "Getting Warmer!", every time I get to that spot, she says it, even after she jumped across the water, but it stops once I go to the floating island part...
Also, here's a comment:
I sorta wish I could save that Mint, 'cause every time I go back, I see the skeleton... Haunting...
If I had a different Party go through that area, what would they see? Guesses below.
I guess Ivy would still see a dying Mint...
Mint... their dad? The Chimera?
Cyril would see Beth...
Yvette would still have her mom?
Lief would have also have a chastising Claire? Or Magnus?
Raccoon... I dunno?

Activating Seamus on a New Game Plus in the first time through the Snowfield is causing has me seeing Lief and Yvette talking about saving him, when they're supposed to join my party way in the future....
Now I'm gonna check if the other part of that quest is active... Yep... Fire Fight Go! And the rest of the quest works! Except for the meeting part... all I get is an "Amusing..." ... Is that a joke?
