I remember reading about this at pengiesama's plus some jokes about Valentinian royalty descending from the Moon Tribe from Okami, which FITS THEM SO MUCH, but I completely forgot about it till I got this text scroll at Cornelius' book:

The founder of the [Kingdom of Valentine] is said to have come to [Erion] in a flying ship from another world. At the time, Valentine's magic was far more powerful than any other nation on the continent, and it rapidly gained control of over two-thirds of the land. One of their unique magics was the ability to [make magic stones]. With the [Cauldron], a giant magical furnace, they had technology that enabled them to [store magic power in stones].

...LOL. I love it when a canon pulls UNEXPECTED LOL ALIENS on me. Particularly when the things coming from the aliens happens to be the point of most of the plot, or the more doomtastic part of it at least (the Crystallization Cauldron, the Ark of Yamato...)

Hell, even Zelda (remember Majora's Mask? the aliens kidnapping the cows?) and Elite Beat Agents pulled aliens on me. And in books... Good Omens? The other books with aliens I have read were pretty much the premise of it. Same with manga. And you could argue, back to videogames, that the royal family of cosmos on Katamari are some sort of aliens god-like beings (no, really, what the fuck ARE they?).

Now I feel like rewatching that Monty Python sketch in which everyone in Britain is turned into a Scotsman.
