Licorice root is very slightly toxic. It contains a chemical called glycyrrhizin which can reduce blood potassium levels (hypokalemia). In large doses or with chronic consumption of even moderate amounts, this can increase blood pressure, cause an irregular heart rhythm, and in extreme cases, can cause death.

I enjoy black licorice but I haven't tasted straight up anise as far as I know. I suppose there could be flavor notes to the seeds that throw me for a loop.

The scientific name for Anise is "Pimpinella", which sounds like an awesome BBW madame

Anise was used in traditional herbal medicine as a carminative, that is, something that reduces the formation of gas.

Star anise is used as a precursor in the synthesis of the influenza drug Tamiflu. The related Japanese star anise and swamp star anise contain a deadly neurotoxin.

I thought she was annoying but her playstyle was amusing. I liked Arietta more, though.

I never could get into them Tales games... except for OG Phantasia, which I'm not even sure how I got since it wasn't released here.

You could try the early Star Ocean games and/or their rereleases.

That's okay, just mentioned them since in a way, those were the actual successors to Phantasia.

The plot resolution to the OG Star Ocean was kinda silly though; It opens very strongly with a mystery and time travel... ... but then a lot of non-sequitor happens and at the veeeeery end they like "oh right, we were supposed to kill some pirates or something"

Not necessarily distinct enough to matter to someone who doesn't like licorice, though.

Sambuca and anisette are both anise-flavored liqueurs, and almost everyone I know would describe them as "Oh yeah, that tastes like licorice."

Which is why I don't like them - I don't like the taste of licorice. And they're both close enough to trigger the exact same distaste for me.

Google suggests aniseoil is added to cheap licorice, so I can imagine in countries where licorice is not well liked, mainly cheap licorice is produced and sold?

Also, the main flavour in licorice is salmiak, which is salty. Salmiak and anise are very distinct.
