"do Philos people not eat real food or something?"
I think they're just very unused to Earth's cuisine, which added to the fact that Xavier is a prince and never had to lift a finger in the kitchen in his entire life translates to him being 1) the worst cook ever, and 2) completely incapable of discerning what good food and bad food is on Earth, because it's all equally alien to him
"why is it taking so long"
My idea is that it's because Earth hasn't reached the needed level of technology yet, so they're stalling while they try to reach that point. Would you be able to fix a phone if you were stuck in the 17th century?
"Traceback I was a test flight to prove they could break the barrier at all"
That's my idea as well. It looks coherent with his limited myths too, he disappeared for a while and when he came back after a couple hundred years, MC was already head of the knights and he had already formed the backtrackers. When he leaves the next time it's when MC is crowned and that's Traceback II already.
""Some say that from a higher dimensional perspective, time doesn't exist. The past, present and future unfold in the same space"
Yup, super important, the game will keep on hammering on this concept constantly. It's why putting the myths in a timeline is more of an exercise than anything else, because unless the game explicitly puts them chronologically (like GoT and ToR) it would be better to think of them as alternative branches that are unfolding all at the same time (but from different starting points of time-space).
"is that were the Tree Of Life stands?"
Can't say much, but you'll see another place that corresponds to the description.
"psychological defenses of its citizens"
I remember wondering whether this was a case of odd translation, and it was just describing how people's brain went a little mad when confronted with something they had no cognitive map for.
"Jeremiah feels that the real Traceback mission has begun."
Interesting point, considering how long they've been stuck on Earth.
"Xavier has no interest in the state of the spaceship."
Which is odd, considering how he also told (in the main story? I think?) Jer that he was going to bring everyone back home.
"THIS TIME?"
I took it to mean that on Philos he couldn't go to the flower planet and settle down with her, and maybe this time (literally, in this time where Earth exists) he can fix the Philos problem (by stopping its creation or whatever) and live with MC.
