I assume from your description of "Earth" conditions that you are from a Terran multiversion... That seems to be the case with many of the hominid sapients here. [Robert nods a little to himself.]
You are correct in that the plant life and soil composition of this region are quite similar to pre-Terran "Earth", at least from my understanding of such. However, there are many subtle differences that have arisen, possibly from the fact that this area is an artificial enclosure but also possibly because of multiversal physics; for example, the biota in this region are... not representative of all boreal forests, and indeed the biosphere seems as manufactured as the rest of this place...
Doctor Mizuno also mentioned variations in the constellations, and the presence of the so-called Filial Spirits; I have never had any evidence of the latter myself, but I am less disinclined to accept their existence now. [Robert pauses a moment, summing up his thoughts.] If you are from a pre-Terran "Earth" without magic or other such paranormal things, like my own multiversion, then perhaps seeing magic would be very strange for you. I know it was an extremely... difficult to accept occurrence for myself.
However, I must admit that I have no real evidence of this place not being an "Earth"-like multiversion. Whatever it is, though, it is most certainly not the planet I am familiar with, and neither is it the planet many of the inhabitants that come from Terram multiversions are familiar with.
