[the.Merines]

Spoiler:

Since Presea and Regal's whole storyline is basically centered around Exspheres, and only Lloyd's Exsphere exists in the anime version, I'd have to agree that the two of them probably won't make an appearance.

I can kind of see how much stuff they are ripping out of the story, and while the OVA is still good, it just cannot be as in-depth and interesting as the original game.
