  <p> The First Generation Heroines (and most likely other generations but the last) are sealed up with their husband in the Pillar.</p>

<p>However, while it makes sense to use "Sealed" in <em>Agarest: Generations of War</em>, it still doesn't make sense to use "Release" and "Freed" in <em>Agarest: Generations of War Zero</em> 'cause they aren't freed or released.</p>

  <p> Of course, while Linda, Routier, Sayane, and Sieg return when you enter the Boundary Plane, you can only get to the Boundary Plane if you get the True Ending and they are still dead.</p>

For reference, our current policy, based on [this meta post](http://meta.anime.stackexchange.com/q/415/24), is that anime-style games, including visual novels, are allowed so long as you stick to plot questions. Gameplay questions are not allowed. I'm pretty sure this qualifies both as anime-style and plot-related.

I think you accidentally a few words at the end, there. "[Be]cause they aren't..."

@Eric it might be because of how i speak, "[Be]cause they aren't" relates to just what i had just said prior to that thus avoiding having to repeat myself

@Memor-X Yes, that is typical in English; however, I couldn't figure out exactly what you were referring to in your previous statements. It makes much more sense now, thanks.

Why are "Release" and "Freed" used for the first generation wife images?

However, while it makes sense to use "Sealed" in *Agarest: Generations of War*, it still doesn't make sense to use "Release" and "Freed" in *Agarest: Generations of War Zero* 'cause they aren't freed or released.
