, Mon 2 Apr 15:28
What was the source of Ether? I know it came from the Zohar but did the WE put the ether in there or something? And if Zohar survived being on a planet that was destroyed then shouldn't some ether still exist after Dues was killed.
Also in the ending is Krelian saying "The only one that could have forgiven me is god" or is he saying "The only one that could have forgiven me is gone"? I don't want a big explanation on the ending and peoples feelings I just want a normal answer.
And how many coppies did Xenogears sell total? I would realy like to know the specifics like how much in each counrty too.

That just doesn't sound as good.

Ether comes from Zohar only, WE didnt do anything to Zohar to allow it to give people the abaility to use it.

Partial credit.
The Zohar modifier was basically getting power from the higher dimention a bit like a vacume cleaner and sucked in the wave existence along with all the energy. Atleast that was my understanding of it.

Achuwie, you're on the right track  . Zohar obtains its energy from the higher dimension, which is the Wave Existence. Zohar is the "Master" Generator and it simply 'idles' around until a secondary source requests power from it, which is usually the Slave Generator found in most Gears (and also the Deus System).
Along with Slave Generators, human also 'requests' power from Zohar when they utilize their Ether abilities. Upon request, Zohar distributes its energy, which is supplied by the Wave Existence.
Now with the Deus System, it works a little different. Deus requests energy from Zohar and then redistributes it independently to power the armada of Angels. The Angels on their own, are useless.

I think I remember somebody saying that people didn't discover their ether abilities until the Diabolos invasion. Is there any reason for this or is it just wrong information.

Human evolved to have the capabilities of using ether abilities. This happened a little just before the Solaris Campaign (500 years ago).

This brings up a question, actually...
I haven't gotten to any part that describes the abilities of the people serving with Sophia - like Roni, Krelian, and Rene. Lacan is a different story, of course... But I've always wondered what the extent of their ether abilities are, or were. Krelian's are never really explained in what I've seen (game, book, whatever), and I've only made assumptions about the Fatima brothers.
I've just speculated that the Animus might have some unusual talent in that area, but there's nothing really to back that up. Hell, I don't even know for sure if I'm right about their weapons of choice. ^.^ Do you have any information on that? That's what I'm interested in... ^.^ Screw the Ep 1 timeline -- been there, done that. ^.~

Although I didn't find much infos that correlate Animus and Ether ability with Zohar, I did find this (pg 75 PW).
A demonstration of direct communication with Zohar is demonstrated when a person performs his/her ether abilities. Because a person directly communicates with Zohar upon drawing its energy on ether performance, the energy by which Zohar provide is more 'intricate' and 'personal' -- or 'fine tuned', whereas the energy allocated by Gears' Slave Generators are strictly for the allotment of energy.
Originally, only people that were created with the Animus substance from the main element -Persona- of Kadomony had the ability to use Ether - just like the fear of Deus was their axiom. People just didn't develop an advance psyche to harness the ether -- until the Solaris Campaign.
Overall, the number of people that can use Ether abilities is actually insignificantly small.
EDIT: The little cartoon at the bottom of pg 75 also details the transfer of energy between Zohar and humans (in this case, Fei), and the allotment of energy from Gears' Slave Generator -- showing the difference (Slave Driver top strip, Ether bottom strip)
