===Max Bond Dialogues===<br />
====Duffle====<br />
'Anythin' fun goin' on?'<br />
<br />
'I swear uponst a knight's blade to be-ith there-ith whenever thou art in need of me! Or whatever!'<br />
<br />
'Aw, man, I wish I was the mana swordsman. It's so cool! But I guess you'll have to settle for the even cooler Duffle!'<br />
<br />
'Our Last adventure was the BEST! We have got to do that again!'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go check out Lady Moti's? Just LOVE that place! So many new things to see every time I go!'<br />
<br />
'Yo Watts! Check out my sword! Lookin' real sharp, eh?!'<br />
<br />
'Oh. My clothes? It's kind of like a house style, me and my fam are into.They're really easy to move around in!'<br />
<br />
'Hey! I was just thinking about a new pose! It goes like...this! ...Or maybe more...like this?'<br />
<br />
'Just let your girl Duffle know if you need anything! Protecting the peace is what I do!'<br />
<br />
'You see that book Honeycomb is reading? How many pages you think it's got?'<br />
<br />
'Yup! Training today, too! those new moves won't learn themselves!'<br />
<br />
====Honeycomb====<br />
'You in some kind of trouble again? ...Well just let me know if you need my help.'<br />
<br />
'If you need me to do something, just say it. I am one of your knights after all.'<br />
<br />
'You should read the legend of the Mana Tree... Because it'd be helpful, and, uhhh, we could talk about it, too?'<br />
<br />
'I'm surrounded by idiots. Can't imagine what would happen if I wasn't there... Guess I better stick around, you know, just in case.'<br />
<br />
'...Wonder if Lady Moti ever smiles...'<br />
<br />
'Watts is a trusted member of this town, got it? Don't go causing him any trouble.'<br />
<br />
'Of course you have to try hard at it. Goals just don't meet themselves, you know.'<br />
<br />
'I'll have you know these clothes are standard sorcerer attire!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, I'm a lot more useful out there than your average adult. So don't treat me like some kid.'<br />
<br />
'Duffle is at it again, eh? Where does she find all that energy?'<br />
<br />
'I'm a busy guy you know. If you don't need me for anything, I'm goin' home.'<br />
<br />
====Blainchet====<br />
'Feel free to come to me with anything you need. I'm much older and wiser, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I beg of you, be more careful. Don't rush into danger alone.'<br />
<br />
'You want to... pet me? How to respond...'<br />
<br />
'I'm not good at hiding things. You just see it in my face.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen anyone around who could be wolfkin?'<br />
<br />
'Shopping, eh? Can'r say I'm want for anything especially.'<br />
<br />
'My clothes? Someone gave them to me quite a long time ago.'<br />
<br />
'Right now I'm in the middle of handling a request. Nothing major, but I welcome the work!'<br />
<br />
'Do you have anything you might need help with? All this waiting around makes me anxious.'<br />
<br />
'What a nice place this is...'<br />
<br />
====Raxa====<br />
'Ain't scared of nothin', huh? That's why I like you!'<br />
<br />
'Best to spread your wings while you're young. Yeah, I'm talkin' about you, brat.'<br />
<br />
'How 'bout we go sell some of that loot, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, better keep your distance. I'm getting kinda hungry, here!'<br />
<br />
'They say I'm poisonous... wanna find out?'<br />
<br />
'Think I'm scary don't ya? Eh, I'm used to it!'<br />
<br />
'Sticking around here's only gonna make you soft!'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, yeah, we're all peace, love, and plants here, right?'<br />
<br />
'Hear anything good lately?'<br />
<br />
'Ugh, this is so boring. Why don't we go out and do something, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Mousseline====<br />
'Wish could just vanish together. Can't do it? Boooriiing.'<br />
<br />
'The Mana Tree... Source of all things, huh.'<br />
<br />
'I say just have fun, forget all the other stuff.'<br />
<br />
'No one likes a third wheel. How bout we go out, just the two of us?'<br />
<br />
'Looking for something? Or maybe... you're looking for me?'<br />
<br />
'My age? Hm, gimme a second. I'm trying to remember.'<br />
<br />
'Wanna know more about me, huh? Hee hee, where shall we start?'<br />
<br />
'What a small town... Very local vibe going on here.'<br />
<br />
'Humans are such busy bees... but I haven't the faintest idea why.'<br />
<br />
'Maybe I should take a nap!'<br />
<br />
====Ebon Knight====<br />
'What awaits at the end of this fate once fulfilled is something I want to see through the end...even if it means you're along for the ride.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, where does your drive come from?'<br />
<br />
'Leave me be...'<br />
<br />
'No matter where I look, all I see is the hopeless futility of it all.'<br />
<br />
'I still haven't forgiven you, best remember that!'<br />
<br />
'What have I been brought here for...?'<br />
<br />
'Who am I, you ask? The Mana Goddess knows very well.'<br />
<br />
'Oh why, Mana Goddess...'<br />
<br />
'You are an enemy to this world. Don't you ever forget this.'<br />
<br />
'Be it this town, or my very self... Everything is but an illusion.'<br />
<br />
====Sumo====<br />
'Don't think I've ever had, uh, time off? A vacation? No-fight time? Er, anyway, I'm at loss as to what to do with myself. Must be what peace feels like.'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to go out on another adventure, see all kinds of worlds. Without my sword, this time though. Just me and someone I care about, seeing the sights.'<br />
<br />
'Dwarves are sure a lively bunch, eh? Used to know a Watts. Funny thing though, not the same Watts that's in this town. Seems like a popular name?'<br />
<br />
'I can use magic all right, but if I had to pick which I'm better at, I'd say it's the sword. You can thank Bogard for that.'<br />
<br />
'Amanda and me have spent most of our life fighting to survive, you know. It's been though, but we survived by the help of all our friends.'<br />
<br />
'You know what this town needs? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere here, but if Lester was here playing his harp? It'd be perfect.'<br />
<br />
'You know what a Chocobo is? They're these big yellow birds you can ride? Anyway, don't think I coulda finish my quest without 'em.'<br />
<br />
'Been on the road so long, feels kind of weird to finally settle down. I think I could get used to this.'<br />
<br />
'Going out on another adventure? Well, if you ever need and extra sword, I'm always ready.'<br />
<br />
'How's it going? Let me know if you need anything.'<br />
<br />
====Amanda====<br />
'You seen Sumo around? Fine if ya haven't. Just askin' is all.'<br />
<br />
'Take me on your next adventure, will ya? Don't worry, I can hold my own.'<br />
<br />
'Favorite food? Well I ain't had a whole lot to begin with, so I guess you could say they're are my favorite.'<br />
<br />
'Seen a lot of places over the years, and I gotta say, this town sure is unique. I mean that in a good way, by the by.'<br />
<br />
'Don't like talkin' 'bout the past, if I'm bein' honest. Ain't a lot of good memories back there.'<br />
<br />
'Might not look it, but I'm pretty handy with a knife. It's the only weapon I use, after all.'<br />
<br />
'Time goes by reeeal slow here. This kinda slow you wish you were spendin' with somebody else, ya know what I mean?'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go on a date? Now look at that, you look redder than an apple. D'ya think I was serious?'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard my brother play the harp? He's pretty good, so if ya haven't, you should!'<br />
<br />
'Doin' okay?'<br />
<br />
====Dark Lord====<br />
'You have proven to be quite the worthy ally, indeed. Say, I am looking for a new right hand, what do you say?'<br />
<br />
'There will come a day when I will get my revenge. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.'<br />
<br />
'You may take me on your pity adventures. But do not get in my way, and do not expect me to help.'<br />
<br />
'This towns defenses are a joke. Why, it would take a small Granzian battalion a day to secure it.'<br />
<br />
'You friends are not as weak as I expected. They'd make fine slaves, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'So that...is the Mana Tree... What at precious little thing...'<br />
<br />
'I see Julius is here as well... Hmph. His ambitions are of no interest to me.'<br />
<br />
'I have enough of this. I don't care where, take me into battle. I can suffer this boredom no longer.'<br />
<br />
'What is it? You finally ready to give me some kind of challenge?'<br />
<br />
====Julius====<br />
'I'm more suited to war than peace. Don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'There are types of magic being used here I've never seen before. Oh? The magic I wield is rarer than all of them? Interesting...'<br />
<br />
'You're an odd one, wanting to travel with someone like me.'<br />
<br />
'This world's strange power... could it be connected to Mana?'<br />
<br />
'Sumo and I have history. But our story's end must come.'<br />
<br />
'I won't do anything to Fuji, don't worry. She is too important of a pawn for me to risk putting her in harms way.'<br />
<br />
'Could the Dark Lord be here too? Heheh, very interesting.'<br />
<br />
'Keeping an eye on me, are you? No need. I'm quite harmless.'<br />
<br />
'A Mana Tree exists here too... Hm? No, only thinking aloud.'<br />
<br />
'What are you up too? If I can be of help, let me know anytime.'<br />
<br />
====Fuji====<br />
'I just wanted to thank you for protecting me and...Ah, never mind. Just was on my mind and I thought I should tell you.'<br />
<br />
'Fighting to others is no easy task. But for as hard as it is, the result is worth it.'<br />
<br />
'I seem to always be the one getting save, but I hope that someday I can be the one who saves. Be a real help to Sumo, you know?'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to teach ou about the healing arts, but my tomes come from my world and I'm not sure you'd be able to read them...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go out on adventures with you all! I won't hold you back, I promise!'<br />
<br />
'The mana tree there is a bit different than the one I know, but there's something familiar about it. This unnerving feeling you get... Just me?'<br />
<br />
'You ever seen one of those flying ships before? I've been on one. I was a bit scary, If I'm being honest.'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good at healing magic, in case you didn't know. So feel free to pay me a visit when you're hurt!'<br />
<br />
'This town is so lively and full of color. You can have fun just by looking around!'<br />
<br />
'How are you doing? Don't overdo it out there, okay?'<br />
<br />
====Marcy====<br />
'MY PURPOSE WAS TO DISCOVER AND TRANSLATE TABLETS IN THE TOWER, BUT HELPING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY MAKES ME HAPPY.'<br />
<br />
'I AM LEARNING SO MUCH JUST BEING IN THIS SPOT. SO MUCH ABOUT THIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT IT.'<br />
<br />
'I REMEMBER SUMO. I WAS HIS GUIDE WHEN HE WENT EXPLORING ONCE.'<br />
<br />
'I YOU HAPPEN TO VISIT ANY RUINS THEN TAKE ME WITH YOU. I AM SURE I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE.'<br />
<br />
'I SAW SOMEONE WHO MOVES IN A STRANGE WAY. I AM UNABLE TO IMITATE IT UNFORTUNATELY.'<br />
<br />
'DO YOU THINK WATTS COULD SE TO MY MAINTENANCE?'<br />
<br />
'ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE AROUND WHO KNOW A LOT ABOUT AUTOMATONS?'<br />
<br />
'THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE TOWER IS FASCINATING. PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO ALL SORTS OF PLACES.'<br />
<br />
'I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROFESSOR AGAIN SOMEDAY. AND GIVE HIM A GOOD TALKING TO.'<br />
<br />
'SHALL WE GO EXPLORING TODAY?'<br />
<br />
====Randi====<br />
'There is something about you, you know. I feel like we have this deep bond. Can't quite explain it. but uh... Aw man,you got me blushing.'<br />
<br />
'I'd be lying if I say I don't still think about things back then... But in the spirit of being honest, it's a lot more fun being here with you.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like someone's having a good day! Nope, don't even try and hide it! I can see it written all over your face!'<br />
<br />
'There was this one time I fell from a really high waterfall. And wouldn't you know it, not a scractch on me. Can you believe that?'<br />
<br />
'I heard you're Popoi's newest lackey! Yeah... it's not the kind of thing you can really back out on, so I say just own it.'<br />
<br />
'You wanna know how best to use the mana sword? I mean, I don't think it's the kind of thing you teach. You kinda... just do it?'<br />
<br />
'What do you do for fun when you're not out there adventuring? I'm looking for a hobby so if you got something, let me know.'<br />
<br />
'I got a thing with Primm and Popoi later... Hey, wanna come with?'<br />
<br />
'I honestly prefer you treat me just like any other guy. I'm more than just the Mana Sword's Chosen, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Oh hey, what's up?'<br />
<br />
====Primm====<br />
'Not a lot of folks out there I can count on to have my back out there. Says a lot about how much I trust you! Heh.'<br />
<br />
'Hey. You're a lot stronger than you think. Show some confidence!'<br />
<br />
'Going out on adventures with you... Seeing all those new sights... I could get used to that.'<br />
<br />
'You'd never think it by looking at her, but Luka down at that water palace is hundreds of years old!'<br />
<br />
'You can't ignore that self care. For mind AND body.'<br />
<br />
'And if you practice those martial arts, you bet no one's gotta... Stop looking at me like that! I have hobbies! I do other things!'<br />
<br />
'This town's not that bad, honestly. I'd say it's about on par with Pandora.'<br />
<br />
'Rippin' and rarin' to go. Just let me know when you're ready for adventure!'<br />
<br />
'Fancy seein' you here.'<br />
<br />
====Popoi====<br />
'Startin' to think of you like one of my family, bro. Aw man, look at me, gettin' all sentimental!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, there goes my favorite lackey! Good lookin' out, bro!'<br />
<br />
'Just happy to see me, is it?'<br />
<br />
'Training? You can do that later. Let's go have some boss 'n' lackey fun, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Bro, you gotta hide me. Sis is comin' and she knows about the prank I pulled!'<br />
<br />
'Got some treasure did ya? I'd be beamin', too! Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'I don't got the wings and all, but I am a faerie you know? So, uh, handle me with care. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'May not look like it, but I'm quite the actor, you know? Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'Come to pick up you boss, eh? Now that's a good lackey!'<br />
<br />
'Boy, am I bored. Don't suppose your favorite lackey could provide some entertainment, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Sheex====<br />
'I could use a flunkie like you. No... How does 'general' sounds?'<br />
<br />
'Say the word, and I'll teach you how to become a dark stalker.'<br />
<br />
'My power comes from Mavolia's realm, so I may rule this one!'<br />
<br />
'Carelessness is akin to a death wish. Keep cool if you want to live.'<br />
<br />
'Gotta put those miserable wretches to their place.'<br />
<br />
====Fanha====<br />
'Heh, you're the type I'd certainly take my time with.'<br />
<br />
'If you would just swear loyalty to the Empire...I might actually try a little.'<br />
<br />
'I've been wanting a new deputy, and I think I found just the one.'<br />
<br />
'Well, this just feels like fate, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'My plan was to use mind control to get what I wanted. But, I no longer care enough to exert the effort.'<br />
<br />
====Thanatos====<br />
'You shall be my next... Wait, I have a better use for you.'<br />
<br />
'Take a peak under this mask a be prepared to feel my wrath.'<br />
<br />
'Want to see my true face, do you? Hmph. You couldn't handle it.'<br />
<br />
'The sword's chosen hero, huh? Ha! And what makes one chosen?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't you love my powers? Even monsters bend to my will!'<br />
<br />
'This life energy! It's... Hmmm... Never mind.'<br />
<br />
'Who could research ancient magic in a place as wretchedly happy as this?'<br />
<br />
====Duran====<br />
'With you on my team, we can't lose! Here's to all the battles we've won, and all the battles we'll win.'<br />
<br />
'Even I get a little shaky when I'm up against someone strong. But that just means I'm excited for what's to come.'<br />
<br />
'It's easy to let power get to you–restraint is what's hard.'<br />
<br />
'You can't slack when you're on the battlefield. I train everyday so that my inexperience doesn't put my team in danger.'<br />
<br />
'Limits are meant to be broken, friend. Now let's go train!'<br />
<br />
'Feelin' pretty pumped today. Hey, wanna spar a little?'<br />
<br />
'No one I respect more than the Hero King himself. He's the reason I train, so I gotta make sure I live up to that.'<br />
<br />
'If all that can be said of me is that I'm the best up and comer, then I still got a lot of work to do.'<br />
<br />
'Your weapon is part of who you are, and you FORGOT it?! You gotta take better care of yourself, man!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, Up for some training?'<br />
<br />
====Angela====<br />
'I dunno, is it just me, or are we totally soulmates? ...On the battlefield, I mean!'<br />
<br />
'I feel like you're doing all the heavy lifting in this relationship. If you need me to do something, all you gotta do is ask, okay?'<br />
<br />
'We all have trials we gotta face someday. That's just life. You just gotta remember 'we' includes you, too.'<br />
<br />
'I don't really have anything to say at the moment. Okay, actually, wait. Do I talk too much? I feel I've been talking, like, A LOT.'<br />
<br />
'So much about this place is just... I dunno... 'different'. Not at all like Altena, that's for sure.'<br />
<br />
'You know I'm a princess, right? I'm not the type to flaunt their status, but would it kill you to let me get my way every once in a while?'<br />
<br />
'You would not believe how amazing it felt to finally use magic. Living up to all those expectations? Oh yeah. That's the stuff.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, there was this whole this with the Crimson Wizard. I mean, there's not much to say, but you-know-who is still not quite over it.'<br />
<br />
'Go study magic? Nah, I mean, you're welcome to, but no that José's not around, a girls gotta go out and live her life, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You look like you're having a good day. What's up?'<br />
<br />
====Kevin====<br />
'Mmm... You smell just like Karl smell. It the good person smell! we now friends forever!'<br />
<br />
'Karl is my best friend! Very special to me. You, also very special friend! I you need help, ask me! I help! Always!'<br />
<br />
'I HATE sitting around! I want to go on adventure! ...I always ready for adventure...'<br />
<br />
'During night time, Beastmen go through change. We get very strong, but some beastman also get very mean. I say, be careful around beastmen at night.'<br />
<br />
'Ludgar...he does not like humans very much. But, many beastman DO like humans. Like me, I am a beastman that like human.'<br />
<br />
'I very bad at puzzles, so not very fan of dungeons. I more like forests and outside. Fewer puzzle.'<br />
<br />
'Mmmm I smell very delicious smell coming from...that way! Do you want to come with?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, good to see you again! Now, this time? We spar, yes? You spar?'<br />
<br />
'I...not a good talker. But talking with you...I like.'<br />
<br />
====Charlotte====<br />
'So gwad to have a fwiend wike you. With Mik not awound, you make the pewfect wackey!'<br />
<br />
'We've become such gweat fwiends, haven't we? I'd say if thewe was such a thing as a fwiend wevew we'd be at 'fwee massages', don't you think?'<br />
<br />
'Good thing you got me awound, someone with weal stweet smawts! Pwincesses like Wiesz and Angewa aw so cwuwess they couldn't even give ya diwections!'<br />
<br />
'Oh! Just who I was wooking fow! Now, I need you to go out and get me a few things. Now, off you go!'<br />
<br />
'Going to new pwaces is weawwy weawwy fun! So, next time we go out. Take me somepwace new!'<br />
<br />
'Twaining? Aww that's good fow is getting tiwed! Duwan and Kevin, it's aww they evew tawk about. I just don't get the appeaw.'<br />
<br />
'Ugh! Evewyone is tweating me wike I'm a wittwe kid! Evewyone except Hawkeye, that is. You shouwd weawn fwom him!'<br />
<br />
'You evew have a nap you think onwy lasted fow a few houws, onwy to find out it was mowe wike 24? ...Yeah...me neithew...'<br />
<br />
'I may sound wike a baby, but I'm actually 15 yeaws owds! No! Sewiouswy! Evewyone says I'm wise beyond my yeaws!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what awe you up to? If it's something fun, Chawwotte wants in!'<br />
<br />
====Hawkeye====<br />
'Just let Hawkeye here protect you, okay? ...What? I'm being serious!'<br />
<br />
'What was that? Come on! We're friends! No need to act all polite.'<br />
<br />
'Sure do love talkin' to you. I could do it all day, in fact.'<br />
<br />
'You gotta be aware of your surroundings out there. Nothin' more dangerous than mother nature herself.'<br />
<br />
'Teach you how to be a thief? Kid, you can't learn to be a thief, go gotta go out there and steal yourself.'<br />
<br />
'There's more to thievin' than stealing you know. You gotta be a master of disguise as well. It's a lot of work!'<br />
<br />
'You think knife-work like this is easy? The Nevarl style is harder than it looks!'<br />
<br />
'Never let a target get away. That's the thief's code.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you on break too? Can't be all business all the time, am I right?'<br />
<br />
====Riesz====<br />
'I feel my heart is at peace when you are near. You are a rare one, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'Perhaps if my journey had included you, it may have been a lot more fun.'<br />
<br />
'I'm afraid I still quite do not know the lay of the land just yet. Do you mind showing me around?'<br />
<br />
'I often think upon the beauty of my home, Laurent. Perhaps, it is because I have found its equal?'<br />
<br />
'I began by quest as a girl alone, but now... Fate has a strange way of weaving its web, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'What do I want? Heh... The simple act of asking is more than enough for me.'<br />
<br />
'One must properly prepare for an adventure! If you need any help buying items, I'm more than happy to help!'<br />
<br />
'My quest to find my brother was filled with great trials. T'was a lonely road indeed...'<br />
<br />
'My brother is very, very special to me.'<br />
<br />
'Well, well. You look to be in good spirits! Care for a quick joust?'<br />
<br />
====Bil====<br />
'I would teach you my greatest technique if you so asked.'<br />
<br />
'Why not add the power of darkness to your arsenal? Just think of the possibilities.'<br />
<br />
'Flashy magic and giant swords are unnecessary when it comes to burying your target.'<br />
<br />
'The way of the ninja has no shortcuts!'<br />
<br />
'There are some skills that can only be done when two ninjas are uniquely in tune with one another. Something you will never be.'<br />
<br />
'Have you ever thought of becoming a ninja? I think you'd be pretty good at it.'<br />
<br />
'Your skills in stealth are impressive indeed. Might even be better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You better be ready to pay up if you need our services. We don't work for cheap.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like you found me... Not bad.'<br />
<br />
====Ben====<br />
'You know what? From now on, all your ninja related needs are half off. I call it the shinobi sidekick discount!'<br />
<br />
'As a token from our friendship, I bethroth onto you this Nevarl ninja garb... Mm? You don't want it?'<br />
<br />
'Our skills take countless hours of practice to master. You can't just learn them overnight.'<br />
<br />
'One might find peace with the comfort this place provides, but to a Nevarl ninja, comfort only breeds anxiety.'<br />
<br />
'The best information is worth it weight in gold.'<br />
<br />
'I won't reveal my identity for no good reason...'<br />
<br />
'A ninja must forgo the light and live in shadow. It is our way. The mission always comes first.'<br />
<br />
'Surely this is fate. Help us and I'll teach you my skills.'<br />
<br />
====Ludgar====<br />
'Perhaps it was plain jealousy... the more I see you all, the clearer it becomes.'<br />
<br />
'When I eventually wear the crown, I will be sure to keep you in my inner circle.'<br />
<br />
'Kevin if my rival, but one day I will... No, let's not.'<br />
<br />
'I cannot express in words the joy I felt when I was named leader...'<br />
<br />
'You need not only power, but fear to break a foe's spirits.'<br />
<br />
====Crimson Wizard====<br />
'Sometimes I ponder on the possibility of a life different from the one I chose. Hm...'<br />
<br />
'I have traveled this road for so long, yet I feel no closer to the end than since I had began. Power....what am I missing?'<br />
<br />
'I trust too deeply in the power of dark magic, is it? Hmph. How long has it been since anyone has lectured me?'<br />
<br />
'This magic will someday... You know what, never mind.'<br />
<br />
'You are no average minion, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'You look almost ready to learn about the dark arts... What say you?'<br />
<br />
'Teach you magic? Hmph. I doubt you could handle it.'<br />
<br />
'Wicked purpose? Mere propaganda. What is wicked to some is virtue to others.'<br />
<br />
====Isabella====<br />
'Say, won't you help me revive the Dark Majesty? He is my everything, you see...'<br />
<br />
'So, you've defeated a benevodon, have you? Hm, there may be more to you than meets the eye.'<br />
<br />
'You want power too, yes? Then join me, and I shall give you the power of darkness!'<br />
<br />
'Love? Ha, I am not so naive... It is power I need. Without it, there is nothing I can protect!'<br />
<br />
'It is not that I am eager to throw my life away, but rather...I am ready to give it up if it will make him happy...'<br />
<br />
'Isabella... Belladonna... Call me what you like as it makes no difference to me.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, is that vexatious lad here as well?'<br />
<br />
'Belladonna...? Ah, a name familiar to me indeed...'<br />
<br />
'I will do anything to see the Dark Majesty's return. Anything...'<br />
<br />
'I have sworn my loyalty to the Dark Majesty...'<br />
<br />
====Goremand====<br />
'And what are you looking at, hm? Watch it or I'll put you in my belly!'<br />
<br />
'You won't get in the way of my next meal! Understand?'<br />
<br />
'I'm too busy to fool with little brats like you. Now scram!'<br />
<br />
'I'm still feeling full from my last feast! Hee hee hee!'<br />
<br />
'Nothing like a tasty soul to sooth my appetite!'<br />
<br />
'Do not forget I am a wizard who serves the Masked Mage!'<br />
<br />
'Hee hee hee! Call on me if you're in need of my service in you journey. I'm quite good at disposal the fallen!'<br />
<br />
'Is there anyone you're looking to get rid of? For I know just who can help...in exchange for their soul.'<br />
<br />
'Oooh! If only I could get my hands on the Mana Sword!'<br />
<br />
'I do enjoy a place full of LIFE, you see... And this one is as lively as they come! Hee hee!'<br />
<br />
====Lekius====<br />
'Don't get me wrong. I love Illusia, but this place is pretty great, too.'<br />
<br />
'If I'm to protect the people of Illusia I've got to get a lot stronger than I am now.'<br />
<br />
'If you need my help, just say the word.'<br />
<br />
'Are there are guardian beasts in this world too?'<br />
<br />
'You seem to know your way on a battlefield... Ever try going long range?'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Keldy? I figured you'd be together.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what's your Def Flora?'<br />
<br />
'This place is pretty great, don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'If you need an archer, you won't find one better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You look well!'<br />
<br />
====Keldric====<br />
'The people here are so warm and friendly...almost as much as the people in Illusia!'<br />
<br />
'A blacksmith named Watts? The king of Ishe shares the name.'<br />
<br />
'Call on me for anything, okay? I'll be there to help!'<br />
<br />
'This feather is from a guardian beast. Name was Flammie, I think?'<br />
<br />
'No Tree Folk here, but this place has all sorts of folks!'<br />
<br />
'What's the deal with the vines? Gonna be honest. I have no idea.'<br />
<br />
'Buju's run off again! I should probably go catch him, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you wanna come play with me and Faye?'<br />
<br />
'Hm? Is there something on my face?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, how's it going?'<br />
<br />
====Shiloh====<br />
'I left Bud and Lisa to keep watch back home, but I wonder how they're doing...'<br />
<br />
'We'd better go and tell tell Li'l Cactus what we got up to today.'<br />
<br />
'These coins? Yeah, I think they look neat too! And they're etched with images of elemental spirits, see?'<br />
<br />
'I can play a pretty mean harp, you know. No fooling!'<br />
<br />
'So do you have a workshop around here? Let me know and I'll get our gear tempered to tip-top shape!'<br />
<br />
'I bet the orchard's bearing fruit right about now...'<br />
<br />
'Something about this place just puts me at ease. As if I were home in my own village.'<br />
<br />
'I'm pretty good at mastering all sorts of weapons in little to no time.'<br />
<br />
'Being swift and nimble has always come easy for me.'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard of artifacts? They can look just like about anything!'<br />
<br />
====Serafina====<br />
'Duba Duda Dubba... Just practicing my dudbear. Ever heard of it?'<br />
<br />
'There are times when we need the strength to shield the ones most dear to us.'<br />
<br />
'I'm no stranger to hard work. I've raised some pets that were literal monsters, tended and orchard, and even did a little bit of weapon tempering. All on my own, too!'<br />
<br />
'Where I come from, we've got penguins for pirates! Would you believe it?'<br />
<br />
'I've seen a few familiar faces around here already! I think I'm gonna like it here.'<br />
<br />
'Do you come home to this place? It's a wonderful thing, don't you think? Having a place to come home to.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Shiloh around?'<br />
<br />
'Meeting all sorts of folks on your journey will be the key to your strength. I just know it!'<br />
<br />
'I've had my fair share of adventures, too, journeying all over. So I know a thing or two about wielding a weapon.'<br />
<br />
'You know, the feel of this place reminds me so much of home. I just can't help but feel at ease here.'<br />
<br />
====Niccolo====<br />
'If there's anything you want, I'll find it for you!'<br />
<br />
'If only I could be reborn into a world of cats and rabbits.'<br />
<br />
'It's too dangerous for folks like us to wander outside town.'<br />
<br />
'I bought all sorts of things so it's about time to sell it off.'<br />
<br />
'The secret to good business it being sincere. Take it from me.'<br />
<br />
'Business flourishes wherever I go!'<br />
<br />
'Smile! Let the world know you're happy!'<br />
<br />
'Let me know if there's anything you might want!'<br />
<br />
'I'd just like to keep on adventuring as I always have, but now, with you!'<br />
<br />
'Good seeing you again!'<br />
<br />
====Sierra====<br />
'I promise here and now to protect you with all I have. For this too, is my duty.'<br />
<br />
'I hope one day you have the honor of meeting Vadise. I am almost certain he will take a liking to you.'<br />
<br />
'You remind me of my brother. And I assure you, that is no compliment.'<br />
<br />
'Vadise is my master and my friend. To be in his service fills me with great pride.'<br />
<br />
'A dragoon is a protector of their master dragon. It is a bond unlike any other.'<br />
<br />
'If you feel my strength is any of use, you need only just call.'<br />
<br />
'I fight to preserve order. Do you?'<br />
<br />
'I am a dragoon and I serve only my master, Vadise.'<br />
<br />
'You look healthy.'<br />
<br />
====Larc====<br />
'You know, I feel I can overcome even a thousand-year curse.'<br />
<br />
'Once the curse breaks, you ask? I want to see my sister again.'<br />
<br />
'I know what I've done was wrong.But I have no regrets.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, Sierra's my sister. Tough I can't say I've been the best brother...'<br />
<br />
'The laws of the dragoon must be obeyed. No matter what.'<br />
<br />
'The name 'Larc The Conqueror' brings back memories.'<br />
<br />
'Come with me to the underworld and... you know what, forget I said anything.'<br />
<br />
'I'll lose my edge hanging around a place like this.'<br />
<br />
'Have you come to invite me on an adventure?'<br />
<br />
'What are you up to today?'<br />
<br />
====Lady Blackpearl====<br />
'Seeing you reminds me of an old friend. You're similar in ways.'<br />
<br />
'Is there some you are bound to protect? If so, stay with them always. That is where I failed.'<br />
<br />
'Those who cry for Jumi turn to stone. You'd best be careful.'<br />
<br />
'Every Jumi's core is different. Mine is black pearl, Elazul's is Lapis Lazuli.'<br />
<br />
'Jumi only die if our core is damaged. There is no natural limit on our lives.'<br />
<br />
'There was once a time long ago when I was a Jumi Knight.'<br />
<br />
'Elazul? Looking for me? Doubt it. Likely it was Pearl.'<br />
<br />
'There's a jewel hunter... Er. Nevermind. Just be sure to keep an eyeone anything you'd rather not have stolen.'<br />
<br />
'Florina... I wonder where you are right now...'<br />
<br />
'You look well. As for me, I'm much the same.'<br />
<br />
====Elazul====<br />
'You hurt Pearl and you're dead. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'Are there Jumi in this town? Better to train now before it's too late. You've got someone to protect after all, don't you?'<br />
<br />
'Don't feel like you gotta shoulder all this on your own. We're all here for you.'<br />
<br />
'Knights need only bonds to one guardian. That's Pearl for me.'<br />
<br />
'The Jumi have knights and guardians. Knights protect guardians, and guardians can heal knights with their tears... Or so I hear.'<br />
<br />
'Me? I'm out there looking for this other Jumi I know...'<br />
<br />
'You always so busy, you know? Is, uh, whatever it is you got going on really all that important?'<br />
<br />
'I you need any help, all you gotta do is ask. All right?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't hurt to invite me out to one of your adventures very once in a while, you know? I'm standing right here.'<br />
<br />
'You seem chipper. Me? Same old same old.'<br />
<br />
====Escad====<br />
'You have a heart of justice. I can tell!'<br />
<br />
'Something's off about you. I get the feeling you'll trip me up if I'm not careful. But for now, I'll take you at your word.'<br />
<br />
'I'll admit you're starting to grow on me. Maybe I'll keep you company on this journey a little longer.'<br />
<br />
'Is there someone you want to protect? For me, I must defend Matilda. And for that reason, I will defeat Irwin!'<br />
<br />
'Will you stand for justice with me? Or be like Daena, an enemy to humans an protecting demons?'<br />
<br />
'My master once told me that you decide your destiny. There is no victory for those who dend their will.'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting all sorts of folks around here. Is your fluffy friend an elemental spirit? If it's a demon... let's just say I don't take too kindly to them.'<br />
<br />
'Scared of death? Ha. I have no fear of dying.'<br />
<br />
'No one will stop me from fulfilling my destiny.'<br />
<br />
'Did you want something? I don't mind, as long as you stay out of my way.'<br />
<br />
====Elle====<br />
'Being here makes me want to sing to my heart's content! And you wouldn't mind, would you?'<br />
<br />
'I'm not a fan of fighting, but I can use magic if I must!'<br />
<br />
'It hurts to admit it. But my voice would would sink ships into the sea...'<br />
<br />
'Would you mind taking me along one of you adventures every now and then?'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good with musical instruments, too!'<br />
<br />
'Flameshe and Monique are two of my good friends!'<br />
<br />
'I'm a siren, you know! I can fly through the sky!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if Gilbert is around...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go and see the world. Perhaps little by little tough, since it's a bit daunting.'<br />
<br />
'I really love to sing, you see...'<br />
<br />
====Sandra====<br />
'If only I or even Florina had someone like you in the Bejeweled City... Never mind. That's long passed now.'<br />
<br />
'Survival of the fittest–or rather, the strongest–is the very law of nature, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You must protect those who are important to you, even if it means hurting someone else. You understand, right?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, have you come to capture me? Do me a favor and let me go for today!'<br />
<br />
'Be sure to lock up when you go out. Thieves won't pass up their chance if they find one.'<br />
<br />
'...What's gotten you so excited? Did you find a tasty mark to target perhaps?'<br />
<br />
'You have a Jumi scent about you...'<br />
<br />
'What a curious town! And yet something about this place feels nostalgic.'<br />
<br />
'You should invite me along once in a while when you go, alright?'<br />
<br />
'You're looking well.'<br />
<br />
====Ferrik====<br />
'I'm gonna keep training till I become the greatest swordsman of all time!'<br />
<br />
'You can leave the fighting to me, all right? My skills with the sword are second to none.'<br />
<br />
'Heard to downed a big one all by yourself. Did you really? I kinda find that hard to believe.'<br />
<br />
'Dudbears can go anywhere in the world they want with just a shovel. Can you imagine that? I'm kinda jealous, actually.'<br />
<br />
'Bet you didn't know I can play the harmonica, did ya? Yup. Wandere taught me how.'<br />
<br />
'I should probably train with other weapons. Don't wanna become a one trick pony, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Seamoon sure is something, you know? A real role model!'<br />
<br />
'Off for some monster hunting? Aw man, I wanna go!'<br />
<br />
'How bout we do some training later? Could always use for some more practice with the sword, you know?'<br />
<br />
====Wanderer====<br />
'Ever heard of an island called Illusia? I love it there, and I'd say I love being here almost just the same.'<br />
<br />
'I'm a bit of an oddball in the Niccolo community. Or so I've been told.'<br />
<br />
'You seem like an experienced adventurer. Mind if I join ya next time?'<br />
<br />
'Don't have a shop, I just wander wherever the wind takes me.'<br />
<br />
'Now this here harmonica is very important to me. Lot of sentimental value, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I much prefer going on adventures to merchant work.'<br />
<br />
'Been to a lot of countries in my time. Remember a beautiful one, lush greens all around. And oh, there was one with a castle made entirely out of ice, too.'<br />
<br />
'I am afraid the years have not been the kindest to the ol' stomach region. Used to be solid muscle, now...not so much.'<br />
<br />
'I've traveled the world over, and I've seen lots of places. So I know the good and the bad. And here, it's good.'<br />
<br />
'Surrounded by nature, and perfect weather to boot. Quite the place you got there.'<br />
<br />
====Tamber====<br />
'You know, you have a great voice! How about we do a duet?'<br />
<br />
'I started dancing when I was little. Guess I always knew I was going to grow up to be a dancer!'<br />
<br />
'How about a dance?'<br />
<br />
'Know any places around here to pick medicinal herbs?'<br />
<br />
'If you're stressing over something, you can talk to me.'<br />
<br />
'I'm great a singing and dancing. A real multi-talent. If you ever wanna learn, let me know!'<br />
<br />
'If you're in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help. Okay?'<br />
<br />
'Gotta keep up the morning exercices, right?'<br />
<br />
'You've been going a it pretty hard lately. Let me help!'<br />
<br />
'I see you're in high spirits today!'<br />
<br />
====Aria====<br />
'The Mana Sword? Could it be you possess a brilliant soul too?'<br />
<br />
'Say, is your floating friend a doll? Seems pretty haughty for one though. Did you use a technique for transferring its soul?'<br />
<br />
'Angels and demons can sense the voices of souls.'<br />
<br />
'Excuse me, do you know how I can reach the celestial land?'<br />
<br />
'Is your world like mine? A world that someone created? I knew it... We're just alike!'<br />
<br />
'Being here brings me comfort. And in that case, maybe I don't need to go home...'<br />
<br />
'Just call me if you need any help! I'll fly off in a flash!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if he made it here too... We were one for so long, it still takes some getting used to now.'<br />
<br />
'I can only sense the voice of a soul when I need to. It's odd though, because I can never sense yours...'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting people of all sorts here–a lot like the Forsaken City!'<br />
<br />
====Van====<br />
'I used to think Cacao was the only one. But you just might have a brilliant soul too!'<br />
<br />
'You're a good kid. A lot like someone I know...'<br />
<br />
'I searched for the Mana Sword too once, you know! But back then, we were always together...'<br />
<br />
'I can't sense the voice of your soul, but I wonder if an angel could.'<br />
<br />
'In the mortal world, demons aren't one with angels, so my powers get weakened.'<br />
<br />
'Neither a celestial nor a mortal place, but it's not bad here. I'm even starting to like it!'<br />
<br />
'Is your fluffy friend using a technique for transferrng his soul? Is that how he gets about?'<br />
<br />
'I've been running into all kinds of people here. But how about some demons like me?'<br />
<br />
'Searching for the Mana Sword, huh? Can't be the same one we're looking for, can it?'<br />
<br />
'Hey! Would ya know the way back to the celestial land from here?'<br />
<br />

===Max Bond Dialogues===<br />
====Duffle====<br />
'Anythin' fun goin' on?'<br />
<br />
'I swear uponst a knight's blade to be-ith there-ith whenever thou art in need of me! Or whatever!'<br />
<br />
'Aw, man, I wish I was the mana swordsman. It's so cool! But I guess you'll have to settle for the even cooler Duffle!'<br />
<br />
'Our Last adventure was the BEST! We have got to do that again!'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go check out Lady Moti's? Just LOVE that place! So many new things to see every time I go!'<br />
<br />
'Yo Watts! Check out my sword! Lookin' real sharp, eh?!'<br />
<br />
'Oh. My clothes? It's kind of like a house style, me and my fam are into.They're really easy to move around in!'<br />
<br />
'Hey! I was just thinking about a new pose! It goes like...this! ...Or maybe more...like this?'<br />
<br />
'Just let your girl Duffle know if you need anything! Protecting the peace is what I do!'<br />
<br />
'You see that book Honeycomb is reading? How many pages you think it's got?'<br />
<br />
'Yup! Training today, too! those new moves won't learn themselves!'<br />
<br />
====Honeycomb====<br />
'You in some kind of trouble again? ...Well just let me know if you need my help.'<br />
<br />
'If you need me to do something, just say it. I am one of your knights after all.'<br />
<br />
'You should read the legend of the Mana Tree... Because it'd be helpful, and, uhhh, we could talk about it, too?'<br />
<br />
'I'm surrounded by idiots. Can't imagine what would happen if I wasn't there... Guess I better stick around, you know, just in case.'<br />
<br />
'...Wonder if Lady Moti ever smiles...'<br />
<br />
'Watts is a trusted member of this town, got it? Don't go causing him any trouble.'<br />
<br />
'Of course you have to try hard at it. Goals just don't meet themselves, you know.'<br />
<br />
'I'll have you know these clothes are standard sorcerer attire!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, I'm a lot more useful out there than your average adult. So don't treat me like some kid.'<br />
<br />
'Duffle is at it again, eh? Where does she find all that energy?'<br />
<br />
'I'm a busy guy you know. If you don't need me for anything, I'm goin' home.'<br />
<br />
====Blainchet====<br />
'Feel free to come to me with anything you need. I'm much older and wiser, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I beg of you, be more careful. Don't rush into danger alone.'<br />
<br />
'You want to... pet me? How to respond...'<br />
<br />
'I'm not good at hiding things. You just see it in my face.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen anyone around who could be wolfkin?'<br />
<br />
'Shopping, eh? Can'r say I'm want for anything especially.'<br />
<br />
'My clothes? Someone gave them to me quite a long time ago.'<br />
<br />
'Right now I'm in the middle of handling a request. Nothing major, but I welcome the work!'<br />
<br />
'Do you have anything you might need help with? All this waiting around makes me anxious.'<br />
<br />
'What a nice place this is...'<br />
<br />
====Raxa====<br />
'Ain't scared of nothin', huh? That's why I like you!'<br />
<br />
'Best to spread your wings while you're young. Yeah, I'm talkin' about you, brat.'<br />
<br />
'How 'bout we go sell some of that loot, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, better keep your distance. I'm getting kinda hungry, here!'<br />
<br />
'They say I'm poisonous... wanna find out?'<br />
<br />
'Think I'm scary don't ya? Eh, I'm used to it!'<br />
<br />
'Sticking around here's only gonna make you soft!'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, yeah, we're all peace, love, and plants here, right?'<br />
<br />
'Hear anything good lately?'<br />
<br />
'Ugh, this is so boring. Why don't we go out and do something, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Mousseline====<br />
'Wish could just vanish together. Can't do it? Boooriiing.'<br />
<br />
'The Mana Tree... Source of all things, huh.'<br />
<br />
'I say just have fun, forget all the other stuff.'<br />
<br />
'No one likes a third wheel. How bout we go out, just the two of us?'<br />
<br />
'Looking for something? Or maybe... you're looking for me?'<br />
<br />
'My age? Hm, gimme a second. I'm trying to remember.'<br />
<br />
'Wanna know more about me, huh? Hee hee, where shall we start?'<br />
<br />
'What a small town... Very local vibe going on here.'<br />
<br />
'Humans are such busy bees... but I haven't the faintest idea why.'<br />
<br />
'Maybe I should take a nap!'<br />
<br />
====Ebon Knight====<br />
'What awaits at the end of this fate once fulfilled is something I want to see through the end...even if it means you're along for the ride.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, where does your drive come from?'<br />
<br />
'Leave me be...'<br />
<br />
'No matter where I look, all I see is the hopeless futility of it all.'<br />
<br />
'I still haven't forgiven you, best remember that!'<br />
<br />
'What have I been brought here for...?'<br />
<br />
'Who am I, you ask? The Mana Goddess knows very well.'<br />
<br />
'Oh why, Mana Goddess...'<br />
<br />
'You are an enemy to this world. Don't you ever forget this.'<br />
<br />
'Be it this town, or my very self... Everything is but an illusion.'<br />
<br />
====Sumo====<br />
'Don't think I've ever had, uh, time off? A vacation? No-fight time? Er, anyway, I'm at loss as to what to do with myself. Must be what peace feels like.'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to go out on another adventure, see all kinds of worlds. Without my sword, this time though. Just me and someone I care about, seeing the sights.'<br />
<br />
'Dwarves are sure a lively bunch, eh? Used to know a Watts. Funny thing though, not the same Watts that's in this town. Seems like a popular name?'<br />
<br />
'I can use magic all right, but if I had to pick which I'm better at, I'd say it's the sword. You can thank Bogard for that.'<br />
<br />
'Amanda and me have spent most of our life fighting to survive, you know. It's been though, but we survived by the help of all our friends.'<br />
<br />
'You know what this town needs? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere here, but if Lester was here playing his harp? It'd be perfect.'<br />
<br />
'You know what a Chocobo is? They're these big yellow birds you can ride? Anyway, don't think I coulda finish my quest without 'em.'<br />
<br />
'Been on the road so long, feels kind of weird to finally settle down. I think I could get used to this.'<br />
<br />
'Going out on another adventure? Well, if you ever need and extra sword, I'm always ready.'<br />
<br />
'How's it going? Let me know if you need anything.'<br />
<br />
====Amanda====<br />
'You seen Sumo around? Fine if ya haven't. Just askin' is all.'<br />
<br />
'Take me on your next adventure, will ya? Don't worry, I can hold my own.'<br />
<br />
'Favorite food? Well I ain't had a whole lot to begin with, so I guess you could say they're are my favorite.'<br />
<br />
'Seen a lot of places over the years, and I gotta say, this town sure is unique. I mean that in a good way, by the by.'<br />
<br />
'Don't like talkin' 'bout the past, if I'm bein' honest. Ain't a lot of good memories back there.'<br />
<br />
'Might not look it, but I'm pretty handy with a knife. It's the only weapon I use, after all.'<br />
<br />
'Time goes by reeeal slow here. This kinda slow you wish you were spendin' with somebody else, ya know what I mean?'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go on a date? Now look at that, you look redder than an apple. D'ya think I was serious?'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard my brother play the harp? He's pretty good, so if ya haven't, you should!'<br />
<br />
'Doin' okay?'<br />
<br />
====Dark Lord====<br />
'You have proven to be quite the worthy ally, indeed. Say, I am looking for a new right hand, what do you say?'<br />
<br />
'There will come a day when I will get my revenge. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.'<br />
<br />
'You may take me on your pity adventures. But do not get in my way, and do not expect me to help.'<br />
<br />
'This towns defenses are a joke. Why, it would take a small Granzian battalion a day to secure it.'<br />
<br />
'You friends are not as weak as I expected. They'd make fine slaves, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'So that...is the Mana Tree... What at precious little thing...'<br />
<br />
'I see Julius is here as well... Hmph. His ambitions are of no interest to me.'<br />
<br />
'I have enough of this. I don't care where, take me into battle. I can suffer this boredom no longer.'<br />
<br />
'What is it? You finally ready to give me some kind of challenge?'<br />
<br />
====Julius====<br />
'I'm more suited to war than peace. Don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'There are types of magic being used here I've never seen before. Oh? The magic I wield is rarer than all of them? Interesting...'<br />
<br />
'You're an odd one, wanting to travel with someone like me.'<br />
<br />
'This world's strange power... could it be connected to Mana?'<br />
<br />
'Sumo and I have history. But our story's end must come.'<br />
<br />
'I won't do anything to Fuji, don't worry. She is too important of a pawn for me to risk putting her in harms way.'<br />
<br />
'Could the Dark Lord be here too? Heheh, very interesting.'<br />
<br />
'Keeping an eye on me, are you? No need. I'm quite harmless.'<br />
<br />
'A Mana Tree exists here too... Hm? No, only thinking aloud.'<br />
<br />
'What are you up too? If I can be of help, let me know anytime.'<br />
<br />
====Fuji====<br />
'I just wanted to thank you for protecting me and...Ah, never mind. Just was on my mind and I thought I should tell you.'<br />
<br />
'Fighting to others is no easy task. But for as hard as it is, the result is worth it.'<br />
<br />
'I seem to always be the one getting save, but I hope that someday I can be the one who saves. Be a real help to Sumo, you know?'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to teach ou about the healing arts, but my tomes come from my world and I'm not sure you'd be able to read them...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go out on adventures with you all! I won't hold you back, I promise!'<br />
<br />
'The mana tree there is a bit different than the one I know, but there's something familiar about it. This unnerving feeling you get... Just me?'<br />
<br />
'You ever seen one of those flying ships before? I've been on one. I was a bit scary, If I'm being honest.'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good at healing magic, in case you didn't know. So feel free to pay me a visit when you're hurt!'<br />
<br />
'This town is so lively and full of color. You can have fun just by looking around!'<br />
<br />
'How are you doing? Don't overdo it out there, okay?'<br />
<br />
====Marcy====<br />
'MY PURPOSE WAS TO DISCOVER AND TRANSLATE TABLETS IN THE TOWER, BUT HELPING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY MAKES ME HAPPY.'<br />
<br />
'I AM LEARNING SO MUCH JUST BEING IN THIS SPOT. SO MUCH ABOUT THIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT IT.'<br />
<br />
'I REMEMBER SUMO. I WAS HIS GUIDE WHEN HE WENT EXPLORING ONCE.'<br />
<br />
'I YOU HAPPEN TO VISIT ANY RUINS THEN TAKE ME WITH YOU. I AM SURE I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE.'<br />
<br />
'I SAW SOMEONE WHO MOVES IN A STRANGE WAY. I AM UNABLE TO IMITATE IT UNFORTUNATELY.'<br />
<br />
'DO YOU THINK WATTS COULD SE TO MY MAINTENANCE?'<br />
<br />
'ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE AROUND WHO KNOW A LOT ABOUT AUTOMATONS?'<br />
<br />
'THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE TOWER IS FASCINATING. PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO ALL SORTS OF PLACES.'<br />
<br />
'I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROFESSOR AGAIN SOMEDAY. AND GIVE HIM A GOOD TALKING TO.'<br />
<br />
'SHALL WE GO EXPLORING TODAY?'<br />
<br />
====Randi====<br />
'There is something about you, you know. I feel like we have this deep bond. Can't quite explain it. but uh... Aw man,you got me blushing.'<br />
<br />
'I'd be lying if I say I don't still think about things back then... But in the spirit of being honest, it's a lot more fun being here with you.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like someone's having a good day! Nope, don't even try and hide it! I can see it written all over your face!'<br />
<br />
'There was this one time I fell from a really high waterfall. And wouldn't you know it, not a scractch on me. Can you believe that?'<br />
<br />
'I heard you're Popoi's newest lackey! Yeah... it's not the kind of thing you can really back out on, so I say just own it.'<br />
<br />
'You wanna know how best to use the mana sword? I mean, I don't think it's the kind of thing you teach. You kinda... just do it?'<br />
<br />
'What do you do for fun when you're not out there adventuring? I'm looking for a hobby so if you got something, let me know.'<br />
<br />
'I got a thing with Primm and Popoi later... Hey, wanna come with?'<br />
<br />
'I honestly prefer you treat me just like any other guy. I'm more than just the Mana Sword's Chosen, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Oh hey, what's up?'<br />
<br />
====Primm====<br />
'Not a lot of folks out there I can count on to have my back out there. Says a lot about how much I trust you! Heh.'<br />
<br />
'Hey. You're a lot stronger than you think. Show some confidence!'<br />
<br />
'Going out on adventures with you... Seeing all those new sights... I could get used to that.'<br />
<br />
'You'd never think it by looking at her, but Luka down at that water palace is hundreds of years old!'<br />
<br />
'You can't ignore that self care. For mind AND body.'<br />
<br />
'And if you practice those martial arts, you bet no one's gotta... Stop looking at me like that! I have hobbies! I do other things!'<br />
<br />
'This town's not that bad, honestly. I'd say it's about on par with Pandora.'<br />
<br />
'Rippin' and rarin' to go. Just let me know when you're ready for adventure!'<br />
<br />
'Fancy seein' you here.'<br />
<br />
====Popoi====<br />
'Startin' to think of you like one of my family, bro. Aw man, look at me, gettin' all sentimental!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, there goes my favorite lackey! Good lookin' out, bro!'<br />
<br />
'Just happy to see me, is it?'<br />
<br />
'Training? You can do that later. Let's go have some boss 'n' lackey fun, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Bro, you gotta hide me. Sis is comin' and she knows about the prank I pulled!'<br />
<br />
'Got some treasure did ya? I'd be beamin', too! Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'I don't got the wings and all, but I am a faerie you know? So, uh, handle me with care. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'May not look like it, but I'm quite the actor, you know? Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'Come to pick up you boss, eh? Now that's a good lackey!'<br />
<br />
'Boy, am I bored. Don't suppose your favorite lackey could provide some entertainment, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Sheex====<br />
'I could use a flunkie like you. No... How does 'general' sounds?'<br />
<br />
'Say the word, and I'll teach you how to become a dark stalker.'<br />
<br />
'My power comes from Mavolia's realm, so I may rule this one!'<br />
<br />
'Carelessness is akin to a death wish. Keep cool if you want to live.'<br />
<br />
'Gotta put those miserable wretches to their place.'<br />
<br />
====Fanha====<br />
'Heh, you're the type I'd certainly take my time with.'<br />
<br />
'If you would just swear loyalty to the Empire...I might actually try a little.'<br />
<br />
'I've been wanting a new deputy, and I think I found just the one.'<br />
<br />
'Well, this just feels like fate, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'My plan was to use mind control to get what I wanted. But, I no longer care enough to exert the effort.'<br />
<br />
====Thanatos====<br />
'You shall be my next... Wait, I have a better use for you.'<br />
<br />
'Take a peak under this mask a be prepared to feel my wrath.'<br />
<br />
'Want to see my true face, do you? Hmph. You couldn't handle it.'<br />
<br />
'The sword's chosen hero, huh? Ha! And what makes one chosen?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't you love my powers? Even monsters bend to my will!'<br />
<br />
'This life energy! It's... Hmmm... Never mind.'<br />
<br />
'Who could research ancient magic in a place as wretchedly happy as this?'<br />
<br />
====Duran====<br />
'With you on my team, we can't lose! Here's to all the battles we've won, and all the battles we'll win.'<br />
<br />
'Even I get a little shaky when I'm up against someone strong. But that just means I'm excited for what's to come.'<br />
<br />
'It's easy to let power get to you–restraint is what's hard.'<br />
<br />
'You can't slack when you're on the battlefield. I train everyday so that my inexperience doesn't put my team in danger.'<br />
<br />
'Limits are meant to be broken, friend. Now let's go train!'<br />
<br />
'Feelin' pretty pumped today. Hey, wanna spar a little?'<br />
<br />
'No one I respect more than the Hero King himself. He's the reason I train, so I gotta make sure I live up to that.'<br />
<br />
'If all that can be said of me is that I'm the best up and comer, then I still got a lot of work to do.'<br />
<br />
'Your weapon is part of who you are, and you FORGOT it?! You gotta take better care of yourself, man!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, Up for some training?'<br />
<br />
====Angela====<br />
'I dunno, is it just me, or are we totally soulmates? ...On the battlefield, I mean!'<br />
<br />
'I feel like you're doing all the heavy lifting in this relationship. If you need me to do something, all you gotta do is ask, okay?'<br />
<br />
'We all have trials we gotta face someday. That's just life. You just gotta remember 'we' includes you, too.'<br />
<br />
'I don't really have anything to say at the moment. Okay, actually, wait. Do I talk too much? I feel I've been talking, like, A LOT.'<br />
<br />
'So much about this place is just... I dunno... 'different'. Not at all like Altena, that's for sure.'<br />
<br />
'You know I'm a princess, right? I'm not the type to flaunt their status, but would it kill you to let me get my way every once in a while?'<br />
<br />
'You would not believe how amazing it felt to finally use magic. Living up to all those expectations? Oh yeah. That's the stuff.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, there was this whole this with the Crimson Wizard. I mean, there's not much to say, but you-know-who is still not quite over it.'<br />
<br />
'Go study magic? Nah, I mean, you're welcome to, but no that José's not around, a girls gotta go out and live her life, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You look like you're having a good day. What's up?'<br />
<br />
====Kevin====<br />
'Mmm... You smell just like Karl smell. It the good person smell! we now friends forever!'<br />
<br />
'Karl is my best friend! Very special to me. You, also very special friend! I you need help, ask me! I help! Always!'<br />
<br />
'I HATE sitting around! I want to go on adventure! ...I always ready for adventure...'<br />
<br />
'During night time, Beastmen go through change. We get very strong, but some beastman also get very mean. I say, be careful around beastmen at night.'<br />
<br />
'Ludgar...he does not like humans very much. But, many beastman DO like humans. Like me, I am a beastman that like human.'<br />
<br />
'I very bad at puzzles, so not very fan of dungeons. I more like forests and outside. Fewer puzzle.'<br />
<br />
'Mmmm I smell very delicious smell coming from...that way! Do you want to come with?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, good to see you again! Now, this time? We spar, yes? You spar?'<br />
<br />
'I...not a good talker. But talking with you...I like.'<br />
<br />
====Charlotte====<br />
'So gwad to have a fwiend wike you. With Mik not awound, you make the pewfect wackey!'<br />
<br />
'We've become such gweat fwiends, haven't we? I'd say if thewe was such a thing as a fwiend wevew we'd be at 'fwee massages', don't you think?'<br />
<br />
'Good thing you got me awound, someone with weal stweet smawts! Pwincesses like Wiesz and Angewa aw so cwuwess they couldn't even give ya diwections!'<br />
<br />
'Oh! Just who I was wooking fow! Now, I need you to go out and get me a few things. Now, off you go!'<br />
<br />
'Going to new pwaces is weawwy weawwy fun! So, next time we go out. Take me somepwace new!'<br />
<br />
'Twaining? Aww that's good fow is getting tiwed! Duwan and Kevin, it's aww they evew tawk about. I just don't get the appeaw.'<br />
<br />
'Ugh! Evewyone is tweating me wike I'm a wittwe kid! Evewyone except Hawkeye, that is. You shouwd weawn fwom him!'<br />
<br />
'You evew have a nap you think onwy lasted fow a few houws, onwy to find out it was mowe wike 24? ...Yeah...me neithew...'<br />
<br />
'I may sound wike a baby, but I'm actually 15 yeaws owds! No! Sewiouswy! Evewyone says I'm wise beyond my yeaws!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what awe you up to? If it's something fun, Chawwotte wants in!'<br />
<br />
====Hawkeye====<br />
'Just let Hawkeye here protect you, okay? ...What? I'm being serious!'<br />
<br />
'What was that? Come on! We're friends! No need to act all polite.'<br />
<br />
'Sure do love talkin' to you. I could do it all day, in fact.'<br />
<br />
'You gotta be aware of your surroundings out there. Nothin' more dangerous than mother nature herself.'<br />
<br />
'Teach you how to be a thief? Kid, you can't learn to be a thief, go gotta go out there and steal yourself.'<br />
<br />
'There's more to thievin' than stealing you know. You gotta be a master of disguise as well. It's a lot of work!'<br />
<br />
'You think knife-work like this is easy? The Nevarl style is harder than it looks!'<br />
<br />
'Never let a target get away. That's the thief's code.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you on break too? Can't be all business all the time, am I right?'<br />
<br />
====Riesz====<br />
'I feel my heart is at peace when you are near. You are a rare one, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'Perhaps if my journey had included you, it may have been a lot more fun.'<br />
<br />
'I'm afraid I still quite do not know the lay of the land just yet. Do you mind showing me around?'<br />
<br />
'I often think upon the beauty of my home, Laurent. Perhaps, it is because I have found its equal?'<br />
<br />
'I began by quest as a girl alone, but now... Fate has a strange way of weaving its web, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'What do I want? Heh... The simple act of asking is more than enough for me.'<br />
<br />
'One must properly prepare for an adventure! If you need any help buying items, I'm more than happy to help!'<br />
<br />
'My quest to find my brother was filled with great trials. T'was a lonely road indeed...'<br />
<br />
'My brother is very, very special to me.'<br />
<br />
'Well, well. You look to be in good spirits! Care for a quick joust?'<br />
<br />
====Bil====<br />
'I would teach you my greatest technique if you so asked.'<br />
<br />
'Why not add the power of darkness to your arsenal? Just think of the possibilities.'<br />
<br />
'Flashy magic and giant swords are unnecessary when it comes to burying your target.'<br />
<br />
'The way of the ninja has no shortcuts!'<br />
<br />
'There are some skills that can only be done when two ninjas are uniquely in tune with one another. Something you will never be.'<br />
<br />
'Have you ever thought of becoming a ninja? I think you'd be pretty good at it.'<br />
<br />
'Your skills in stealth are impressive indeed. Might even be better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You better be ready to pay up if you need our services. We don't work for cheap.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like you found me... Not bad.'<br />
<br />
====Ben====<br />
'You know what? From now on, all your ninja related needs are half off. I call it the shinobi sidekick discount!'<br />
<br />
'As a token from our friendship, I bethroth onto you this Nevarl ninja garb... Mm? You don't want it?'<br />
<br />
'Our skills take countless hours of practice to master. You can't just learn them overnight.'<br />
<br />
'One might find peace with the comfort this place provides, but to a Nevarl ninja, comfort only breeds anxiety.'<br />
<br />
'The best information is worth it weight in gold.'<br />
<br />
'I won't reveal my identity for no good reason...'<br />
<br />
'A ninja must forgo the light and live in shadow. It is our way. The mission always comes first.'<br />
<br />
'Surely this is fate. Help us and I'll teach you my skills.'<br />
<br />
====Ludgar====<br />
'Perhaps it was plain jealousy... the more I see you all, the clearer it becomes.'<br />
<br />
'When I eventually wear the crown, I will be sure to keep you in my inner circle.'<br />
<br />
'Kevin if my rival, but one day I will... No, let's not.'<br />
<br />
'I cannot express in words the joy I felt when I was named leader...'<br />
<br />
'You need not only power, but fear to break a foe's spirits.'<br />
<br />
====Crimson Wizard====<br />
'Sometimes I ponder on the possibility of a life different from the one I chose. Hm...'<br />
<br />
'I have traveled this road for so long, yet I feel no closer to the end than since I had began. Power....what am I missing?'<br />
<br />
'I trust too deeply in the power of dark magic, is it? Hmph. How long has it been since anyone has lectured me?'<br />
<br />
'This magic will someday... You know what, never mind.'<br />
<br />
'You are no average minion, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'You look almost ready to learn about the dark arts... What say you?'<br />
<br />
'Teach you magic? Hmph. I doubt you could handle it.'<br />
<br />
'Wicked purpose? Mere propaganda. What is wicked to some is virtue to others.'<br />
<br />
====Isabella====<br />
'Say, won't you help me revive the Dark Majesty? He is my everything, you see...'<br />
<br />
'So, you've defeated a benevodon, have you? Hm, there may be more to you than meets the eye.'<br />
<br />
'You want power too, yes? Then join me, and I shall give you the power of darkness!'<br />
<br />
'Love? Ha, I am not so naive... It is power I need. Without it, there is nothing I can protect!'<br />
<br />
'It is not that I am eager to throw my life away, but rather...I am ready to give it up if it will make him happy...'<br />
<br />
'Isabella... Belladonna... Call me what you like as it makes no difference to me.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, is that vexatious lad here as well?'<br />
<br />
'Belladonna...? Ah, a name familiar to me indeed...'<br />
<br />
'I will do anything to see the Dark Majesty's return. Anything...'<br />
<br />
'I have sworn my loyalty to the Dark Majesty...'<br />
<br />
====Goremand====<br />
'And what are you looking at, hm? Watch it or I'll put you in my belly!'<br />
<br />
'You won't get in the way of my next meal! Understand?'<br />
<br />
'I'm too busy to fool with little brats like you. Now scram!'<br />
<br />
'I'm still feeling full from my last feast! Hee hee hee!'<br />
<br />
'Nothing like a tasty soul to sooth my appetite!'<br />
<br />
'Do not forget I am a wizard who serves the Masked Mage!'<br />
<br />
'Hee hee hee! Call on me if you're in need of my service in you journey. I'm quite good at disposal the fallen!'<br />
<br />
'Is there anyone you're looking to get rid of? For I know just who can help...in exchange for their soul.'<br />
<br />
'Oooh! If only I could get my hands on the Mana Sword!'<br />
<br />
'I do enjoy a place full of LIFE, you see... And this one is as lively as they come! Hee hee!'<br />
<br />
====Lekius====<br />
'Don't get me wrong. I love Illusia, but this place is pretty great, too.'<br />
<br />
'If I'm to protect the people of Illusia I've got to get a lot stronger than I am now.'<br />
<br />
'If you need my help, just say the word.'<br />
<br />
'Are there are guardian beasts in this world too?'<br />
<br />
'You seem to know your way on a battlefield... Ever try going long range?'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Keldy? I figured you'd be together.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what's your Def Flora?'<br />
<br />
'This place is pretty great, don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'If you need an archer, you won't find one better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You look well!'<br />
<br />
====Keldric====<br />
'The people here are so warm and friendly...almost as much as the people in Illusia!'<br />
<br />
'A blacksmith named Watts? The king of Ishe shares the name.'<br />
<br />
'Call on me for anything, okay? I'll be there to help!'<br />
<br />
'This feather is from a guardian beast. Name was Flammie, I think?'<br />
<br />
'No Tree Folk here, but this place has all sorts of folks!'<br />
<br />
'What's the deal with the vines? Gonna be honest. I have no idea.'<br />
<br />
'Buju's run off again! I should probably go catch him, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you wanna come play with me and Faye?'<br />
<br />
'Hm? Is there something on my face?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, how's it going?'<br />
<br />
====Shiloh====<br />
'I left Bud and Lisa to keep watch back home, but I wonder how they're doing...'<br />
<br />
'We'd better go and tell tell Li'l Cactus what we got up to today.'<br />
<br />
'These coins? Yeah, I think they look neat too! And they're etched with images of elemental spirits, see?'<br />
<br />
'I can play a pretty mean harp, you know. No fooling!'<br />
<br />
'So do you have a workshop around here? Let me know and I'll get our gear tempered to tip-top shape!'<br />
<br />
'I bet the orchard's bearing fruit right about now...'<br />
<br />
'Something about this place just puts me at ease. As if I were home in my own village.'<br />
<br />
'I'm pretty good at mastering all sorts of weapons in little to no time.'<br />
<br />
'Being swift and nimble has always come easy for me.'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard of artifacts? They can look just like about anything!'<br />
<br />
====Serafina====<br />
'Duba Duda Dubba... Just practicing my dudbear. Ever heard of it?'<br />
<br />
'There are times when we need the strength to shield the ones most dear to us.'<br />
<br />
'I'm no stranger to hard work. I've raised some pets that were literal monsters, tended and orchard, and even did a little bit of weapon tempering. All on my own, too!'<br />
<br />
'Where I come from, we've got penguins for pirates! Would you believe it?'<br />
<br />
'I've seen a few familiar faces around here already! I think I'm gonna like it here.'<br />
<br />
'Do you come home to this place? It's a wonderful thing, don't you think? Having a place to come home to.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Shiloh around?'<br />
<br />
'Meeting all sorts of folks on your journey will be the key to your strength. I just know it!'<br />
<br />
'I've had my fair share of adventures, too, journeying all over. So I know a thing or two about wielding a weapon.'<br />
<br />
'You know, the feel of this place reminds me so much of home. I just can't help but feel at ease here.'<br />
<br />
====Niccolo====<br />
'If there's anything you want, I'll find it for you!'<br />
<br />
'If only I could be reborn into a world of cats and rabbits.'<br />
<br />
'It's too dangerous for folks like us to wander outside town.'<br />
<br />
'I bought all sorts of things so it's about time to sell it off.'<br />
<br />
'The secret to good business it being sincere. Take it from me.'<br />
<br />
'Business flourishes wherever I go!'<br />
<br />
'Smile! Let the world know you're happy!'<br />
<br />
'Let me know if there's anything you might want!'<br />
<br />
'I'd just like to keep on adventuring as I always have, but now, with you!'<br />
<br />
'Good seeing you again!'<br />
<br />
====Sierra====<br />
'I promise here and now to protect you with all I have. For this too, is my duty.'<br />
<br />
'I hope one day you have the honor of meeting Vadise. I am almost certain he will take a liking to you.'<br />
<br />
'You remind me of my brother. And I assure you, that is no compliment.'<br />
<br />
'Vadise is my master and my friend. To be in his service fills me with great pride.'<br />
<br />
'A dragoon is a protector of their master dragon. It is a bond unlike any other.'<br />
<br />
'If you feel my strength is any of use, you need only just call.'<br />
<br />
'I fight to preserve order. Do you?'<br />
<br />
'I am a dragoon and I serve only my master, Vadise.'<br />
<br />
'You look healthy.'<br />
<br />
====Larc====<br />
'You know, I feel I can overcome even a thousand-year curse.'<br />
<br />
'Once the curse breaks, you ask? I want to see my sister again.'<br />
<br />
'I know what I've done was wrong.But I have no regrets.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, Sierra's my sister. Tough I can't say I've been the best brother...'<br />
<br />
'The laws of the dragoon must be obeyed. No matter what.'<br />
<br />
'The name 'Larc The Conqueror' brings back memories.'<br />
<br />
'Come with me to the underworld and... you know what, forget I said anything.'<br />
<br />
'I'll lose my edge hanging around a place like this.'<br />
<br />
'Have you come to invite me on an adventure?'<br />
<br />
'What are you up to today?'<br />
<br />
====Lady Blackpearl====<br />
'Seeing you reminds me of an old friend. You're similar in ways.'<br />
<br />
'Is there some you are bound to protect? If so, stay with them always. That is where I failed.'<br />
<br />
'Those who cry for Jumi turn to stone. You'd best be careful.'<br />
<br />
'Every Jumi's core is different. Mine is black pearl, Elazul's is Lapis Lazuli.'<br />
<br />
'Jumi only die if our core is damaged. There is no natural limit on our lives.'<br />
<br />
'There was once a time long ago when I was a Jumi Knight.'<br />
<br />
'Elazul? Looking for me? Doubt it. Likely it was Pearl.'<br />
<br />
'There's a jewel hunter... Er. Nevermind. Just be sure to keep an eyeone anything you'd rather not have stolen.'<br />
<br />
'Florina... I wonder where you are right now...'<br />
<br />
'You look well. As for me, I'm much the same.'<br />
<br />
====Elazul====<br />
'You hurt Pearl and you're dead. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'Are there Jumi in this town? Better to train now before it's too late. You've got someone to protect after all, don't you?'<br />
<br />
'Don't feel like you gotta shoulder all this on your own. We're all here for you.'<br />
<br />
'Knights need only bonds to one guardian. That's Pearl for me.'<br />
<br />
'The Jumi have knights and guardians. Knights protect guardians, and guardians can heal knights with their tears... Or so I hear.'<br />
<br />
'Me? I'm out there looking for this other Jumi I know...'<br />
<br />
'You always so busy, you know? Is, uh, whatever it is you got going on really all that important?'<br />
<br />
'I you need any help, all you gotta do is ask. All right?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't hurt to invite me out to one of your adventures very once in a while, you know? I'm standing right here.'<br />
<br />
'You seem chipper. Me? Same old same old.'<br />
<br />
====Escad====<br />
'You have a heart of justice. I can tell!'<br />
<br />
'Something's off about you. I get the feeling you'll trip me up if I'm not careful. But for now, I'll take you at your word.'<br />
<br />
'I'll admit you're starting to grow on me. Maybe I'll keep you company on this journey a little longer.'<br />
<br />
'Is there someone you want to protect? For me, I must defend Matilda. And for that reason, I will defeat Irwin!'<br />
<br />
'Will you stand for justice with me? Or be like Daena, an enemy to humans an protecting demons?'<br />
<br />
'My master once told me that you decide your destiny. There is no victory for those who dend their will.'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting all sorts of folks around here. Is your fluffy friend an elemental spirit? If it's a demon... let's just say I don't take too kindly to them.'<br />
<br />
'Scared of death? Ha. I have no fear of dying.'<br />
<br />
'No one will stop me from fulfilling my destiny.'<br />
<br />
'Did you want something? I don't mind, as long as you stay out of my way.'<br />
<br />
====Elle====<br />
'Being here makes me want to sing to my heart's content! And you wouldn't mind, would you?'<br />
<br />
'I'm not a fan of fighting, but I can use magic if I must!'<br />
<br />
'It hurts to admit it. But my voice would would sink ships into the sea...'<br />
<br />
'Would you mind taking me along one of you adventures every now and then?'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good with musical instruments, too!'<br />
<br />
'Flameshe and Monique are two of my good friends!'<br />
<br />
'I'm a siren, you know! I can fly through the sky!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if Gilbert is around...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go and see the world. Perhaps little by little tough, since it's a bit daunting.'<br />
<br />
'I really love to sing, you see...'<br />
<br />
====Sandra====<br />
'If only I or even Florina had someone like you in the Bejeweled City... Never mind. That's long passed now.'<br />
<br />
'Survival of the fittest–or rather, the strongest–is the very law of nature, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You must protect those who are important to you, even if it means hurting someone else. You understand, right?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, have you come to capture me? Do me a favor and let me go for today!'<br />
<br />
'Be sure to lock up when you go out. Thieves won't pass up their chance if they find one.'<br />
<br />
'...What's gotten you so excited? Did you find a tasty mark to target perhaps?'<br />
<br />
'You have a Jumi scent about you...'<br />
<br />
'What a curious town! And yet something about this place feels nostalgic.'<br />
<br />
'You should invite me along once in a while when you go, alright?'<br />
<br />
'You're looking well.'<br />
<br />
====Ferrik====<br />
'I'm gonna keep training till I become the greatest swordsman of all time!'<br />
<br />
'You can leave the fighting to me, all right? My skills with the sword are second to none.'<br />
<br />
'Heard to downed a big one all by yourself. Did you really? I kinda find that hard to believe.'<br />
<br />
'Dudbears can go anywhere in the world they want with just a shovel. Can you imagine that? I'm kinda jealous, actually.'<br />
<br />
'Bet you didn't know I can play the harmonica, did ya? Yup. Wandere taught me how.'<br />
<br />
'I should probably train with other weapons. Don't wanna become a one trick pony, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Seamoon sure is something, you know? A real role model!'<br />
<br />
'Off for some monster hunting? Aw man, I wanna go!'<br />
<br />
'How bout we do some training later? Could always use for some more practice with the sword, you know?'<br />
<br />
====Wanderer====<br />
'Ever heard of an island called Illusia? I love it there, and I'd say I love being here almost just the same.'<br />
<br />
'I'm a bit of an oddball in the Niccolo community. Or so I've been told.'<br />
<br />
'You seem like an experienced adventurer. Mind if I join ya next time?'<br />
<br />
'Don't have a shop, I just wander wherever the wind takes me.'<br />
<br />
'Now this here harmonica is very important to me. Lot of sentimental value, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I much prefer going on adventures to merchant work.'<br />
<br />
'Been to a lot of countries in my time. Remember a beautiful one, lush greens all around. And oh, there was one with a castle made entirely out of ice, too.'<br />
<br />
'I am afraid the years have not been the kindest to the ol' stomach region. Used to be solid muscle, now...not so much.'<br />
<br />
'I've traveled the world over, and I've seen lots of places. So I know the good and the bad. And here, it's good.'<br />
<br />
'Surrounded by nature, and perfect weather to boot. Quite the place you got there.'<br />
<br />
====Tamber====<br />
'You know, you have a great voice! How about we do a duet?'<br />
<br />
'I started dancing when I was little. Guess I always knew I was going to grow up to be a dancer!'<br />
<br />
'How about a dance?'<br />
<br />
'Know any places around here to pick medicinal herbs?'<br />
<br />
'If you're stressing over something, you can talk to me.'<br />
<br />
'I'm great a singing and dancing. A real multi-talent. If you ever wanna learn, let me know!'<br />
<br />
'If you're in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help. Okay?'<br />
<br />
'Gotta keep up the morning exercices, right?'<br />
<br />
'You've been going a it pretty hard lately. Let me help!'<br />
<br />
'I see you're in high spirits today!'<br />
<br />
====Aria====<br />
'The Mana Sword? Could it be you possess a brilliant soul too?'<br />
<br />
'Say, is your floating friend a doll? Seems pretty haughty for one though. Did you use a technique for transferring its soul?'<br />
<br />
'Angels and demons can sense the voices of souls.'<br />
<br />
'Excuse me, do you know how I can reach the celestial land?'<br />
<br />
'Is your world like mine? A world that someone created? I knew it... We're just alike!'<br />
<br />
'Being here brings me comfort. And in that case, maybe I don't need to go home...'<br />
<br />
'Just call me if you need any help! I'll fly off in a flash!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if he made it here too... We were one for so long, it still takes some getting used to now.'<br />
<br />
'I can only sense the voice of a soul when I need to. It's odd though, because I can never sense yours...'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting people of all sorts here–a lot like the Forsaken City!'<br />
<br />
====Van====<br />
'I used to think Cacao was the only one. But you just might have a brilliant soul too!'<br />
<br />
'You're a good kid. A lot like someone I know...'<br />
<br />
'I searched for the Mana Sword too once, you know! But back then, we were always together...'<br />
<br />
'I can't sense the voice of your soul, but I wonder if an angel could.'<br />
<br />
'In the mortal world, demons aren't one with angels, so my powers get weakened.'<br />
<br />
'Neither a celestial nor a mortal place, but it's not bad here. I'm even starting to like it!'<br />
<br />
'Is your fluffy friend using a technique for transferrng his soul? Is that how he gets about?'<br />
<br />
'I've been running into all kinds of people here. But how about some demons like me?'<br />
<br />
'Searching for the Mana Sword, huh? Can't be the same one we're looking for, can it?'<br />
<br />
'Hey! Would ya know the way back to the celestial land from here?'<br />
<br />

====Duffle====<br />
'Anythin' fun goin' on?'<br />
<br />
'I swear uponst a knight's blade to be-ith there-ith whenever thou art in need of me! Or whatever!'<br />
<br />
'Aw, man, I wish I was the mana swordsman. It's so cool! But I guess you'll have to settle for the even cooler Duffle!'<br />
<br />
'Our Last adventure was the BEST! We have got to do that again!'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go check out Lady Moti's? Just LOVE that place! So many new things to see every time I go!'<br />
<br />
'Yo Watts! Check out my sword! Lookin' real sharp, eh?!'<br />
<br />
'Oh. My clothes? It's kind of like a house style, me and my fam are into.They're really easy to move around in!'<br />
<br />
'Hey! I was just thinking about a new pose! It goes like...this! ...Or maybe more...like this?'<br />
<br />
'Just let your girl Duffle know if you need anything! Protecting the peace is what I do!'<br />
<br />
'You see that book Honeycomb is reading? How many pages you think it's got?'<br />
<br />
'Yup! Training today, too! those new moves won't learn themselves!'<br />
<br />
====Honeycomb====<br />
'You in some kind of trouble again? ...Well just let me know if you need my help.'<br />
<br />
'If you need me to do something, just say it. I am one of your knights after all.'<br />
<br />
'You should read the legend of the Mana Tree... Because it'd be helpful, and, uhhh, we could talk about it, too?'<br />
<br />
'I'm surrounded by idiots. Can't imagine what would happen if I wasn't there... Guess I better stick around, you know, just in case.'<br />
<br />
'...Wonder if Lady Moti ever smiles...'<br />
<br />
'Watts is a trusted member of this town, got it? Don't go causing him any trouble.'<br />
<br />
'Of course you have to try hard at it. Goals just don't meet themselves, you know.'<br />
<br />
'I'll have you know these clothes are standard sorcerer attire!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, I'm a lot more useful out there than your average adult. So don't treat me like some kid.'<br />
<br />
'Duffle is at it again, eh? Where does she find all that energy?'<br />
<br />
'I'm a busy guy you know. If you don't need me for anything, I'm goin' home.'<br />
<br />
====Blainchet====<br />
'Feel free to come to me with anything you need. I'm much older and wiser, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I beg of you, be more careful. Don't rush into danger alone.'<br />
<br />
'You want to... pet me? How to respond...'<br />
<br />
'I'm not good at hiding things. You just see it in my face.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen anyone around who could be wolfkin?'<br />
<br />
'Shopping, eh? Can'r say I'm want for anything especially.'<br />
<br />
'My clothes? Someone gave them to me quite a long time ago.'<br />
<br />
'Right now I'm in the middle of handling a request. Nothing major, but I welcome the work!'<br />
<br />
'Do you have anything you might need help with? All this waiting around makes me anxious.'<br />
<br />
'What a nice place this is...'<br />
<br />
====Raxa====<br />
'Ain't scared of nothin', huh? That's why I like you!'<br />
<br />
'Best to spread your wings while you're young. Yeah, I'm talkin' about you, brat.'<br />
<br />
'How 'bout we go sell some of that loot, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, better keep your distance. I'm getting kinda hungry, here!'<br />
<br />
'They say I'm poisonous... wanna find out?'<br />
<br />
'Think I'm scary don't ya? Eh, I'm used to it!'<br />
<br />
'Sticking around here's only gonna make you soft!'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, yeah, we're all peace, love, and plants here, right?'<br />
<br />
'Hear anything good lately?'<br />
<br />
'Ugh, this is so boring. Why don't we go out and do something, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Mousseline====<br />
'Wish could just vanish together. Can't do it? Boooriiing.'<br />
<br />
'The Mana Tree... Source of all things, huh.'<br />
<br />
'I say just have fun, forget all the other stuff.'<br />
<br />
'No one likes a third wheel. How bout we go out, just the two of us?'<br />
<br />
'Looking for something? Or maybe... you're looking for me?'<br />
<br />
'My age? Hm, gimme a second. I'm trying to remember.'<br />
<br />
'Wanna know more about me, huh? Hee hee, where shall we start?'<br />
<br />
'What a small town... Very local vibe going on here.'<br />
<br />
'Humans are such busy bees... but I haven't the faintest idea why.'<br />
<br />
'Maybe I should take a nap!'<br />
<br />
====Ebon Knight====<br />
'What awaits at the end of this fate once fulfilled is something I want to see through the end...even if it means you're along for the ride.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, where does your drive come from?'<br />
<br />
'Leave me be...'<br />
<br />
'No matter where I look, all I see is the hopeless futility of it all.'<br />
<br />
'I still haven't forgiven you, best remember that!'<br />
<br />
'What have I been brought here for...?'<br />
<br />
'Who am I, you ask? The Mana Goddess knows very well.'<br />
<br />
'Oh why, Mana Goddess...'<br />
<br />
'You are an enemy to this world. Don't you ever forget this.'<br />
<br />
'Be it this town, or my very self... Everything is but an illusion.'<br />
<br />
====Sumo====<br />
'Don't think I've ever had, uh, time off? A vacation? No-fight time? Er, anyway, I'm at loss as to what to do with myself. Must be what peace feels like.'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to go out on another adventure, see all kinds of worlds. Without my sword, this time though. Just me and someone I care about, seeing the sights.'<br />
<br />
'Dwarves are sure a lively bunch, eh? Used to know a Watts. Funny thing though, not the same Watts that's in this town. Seems like a popular name?'<br />
<br />
'I can use magic all right, but if I had to pick which I'm better at, I'd say it's the sword. You can thank Bogard for that.'<br />
<br />
'Amanda and me have spent most of our life fighting to survive, you know. It's been though, but we survived by the help of all our friends.'<br />
<br />
'You know what this town needs? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere here, but if Lester was here playing his harp? It'd be perfect.'<br />
<br />
'You know what a Chocobo is? They're these big yellow birds you can ride? Anyway, don't think I coulda finish my quest without 'em.'<br />
<br />
'Been on the road so long, feels kind of weird to finally settle down. I think I could get used to this.'<br />
<br />
'Going out on another adventure? Well, if you ever need and extra sword, I'm always ready.'<br />
<br />
'How's it going? Let me know if you need anything.'<br />
<br />
====Amanda====<br />
'You seen Sumo around? Fine if ya haven't. Just askin' is all.'<br />
<br />
'Take me on your next adventure, will ya? Don't worry, I can hold my own.'<br />
<br />
'Favorite food? Well I ain't had a whole lot to begin with, so I guess you could say they're are my favorite.'<br />
<br />
'Seen a lot of places over the years, and I gotta say, this town sure is unique. I mean that in a good way, by the by.'<br />
<br />
'Don't like talkin' 'bout the past, if I'm bein' honest. Ain't a lot of good memories back there.'<br />
<br />
'Might not look it, but I'm pretty handy with a knife. It's the only weapon I use, after all.'<br />
<br />
'Time goes by reeeal slow here. This kinda slow you wish you were spendin' with somebody else, ya know what I mean?'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go on a date? Now look at that, you look redder than an apple. D'ya think I was serious?'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard my brother play the harp? He's pretty good, so if ya haven't, you should!'<br />
<br />
'Doin' okay?'<br />
<br />
====Dark Lord====<br />
'You have proven to be quite the worthy ally, indeed. Say, I am looking for a new right hand, what do you say?'<br />
<br />
'There will come a day when I will get my revenge. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.'<br />
<br />
'You may take me on your pity adventures. But do not get in my way, and do not expect me to help.'<br />
<br />
'This towns defenses are a joke. Why, it would take a small Granzian battalion a day to secure it.'<br />
<br />
'You friends are not as weak as I expected. They'd make fine slaves, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'So that...is the Mana Tree... What at precious little thing...'<br />
<br />
'I see Julius is here as well... Hmph. His ambitions are of no interest to me.'<br />
<br />
'I have enough of this. I don't care where, take me into battle. I can suffer this boredom no longer.'<br />
<br />
'What is it? You finally ready to give me some kind of challenge?'<br />
<br />
====Julius====<br />
'I'm more suited to war than peace. Don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'There are types of magic being used here I've never seen before. Oh? The magic I wield is rarer than all of them? Interesting...'<br />
<br />
'You're an odd one, wanting to travel with someone like me.'<br />
<br />
'This world's strange power... could it be connected to Mana?'<br />
<br />
'Sumo and I have history. But our story's end must come.'<br />
<br />
'I won't do anything to Fuji, don't worry. She is too important of a pawn for me to risk putting her in harms way.'<br />
<br />
'Could the Dark Lord be here too? Heheh, very interesting.'<br />
<br />
'Keeping an eye on me, are you? No need. I'm quite harmless.'<br />
<br />
'A Mana Tree exists here too... Hm? No, only thinking aloud.'<br />
<br />
'What are you up too? If I can be of help, let me know anytime.'<br />
<br />
====Fuji====<br />
'I just wanted to thank you for protecting me and...Ah, never mind. Just was on my mind and I thought I should tell you.'<br />
<br />
'Fighting to others is no easy task. But for as hard as it is, the result is worth it.'<br />
<br />
'I seem to always be the one getting save, but I hope that someday I can be the one who saves. Be a real help to Sumo, you know?'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to teach ou about the healing arts, but my tomes come from my world and I'm not sure you'd be able to read them...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go out on adventures with you all! I won't hold you back, I promise!'<br />
<br />
'The mana tree there is a bit different than the one I know, but there's something familiar about it. This unnerving feeling you get... Just me?'<br />
<br />
'You ever seen one of those flying ships before? I've been on one. I was a bit scary, If I'm being honest.'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good at healing magic, in case you didn't know. So feel free to pay me a visit when you're hurt!'<br />
<br />
'This town is so lively and full of color. You can have fun just by looking around!'<br />
<br />
'How are you doing? Don't overdo it out there, okay?'<br />
<br />
====Marcy====<br />
'MY PURPOSE WAS TO DISCOVER AND TRANSLATE TABLETS IN THE TOWER, BUT HELPING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY MAKES ME HAPPY.'<br />
<br />
'I AM LEARNING SO MUCH JUST BEING IN THIS SPOT. SO MUCH ABOUT THIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT IT.'<br />
<br />
'I REMEMBER SUMO. I WAS HIS GUIDE WHEN HE WENT EXPLORING ONCE.'<br />
<br />
'I YOU HAPPEN TO VISIT ANY RUINS THEN TAKE ME WITH YOU. I AM SURE I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE.'<br />
<br />
'I SAW SOMEONE WHO MOVES IN A STRANGE WAY. I AM UNABLE TO IMITATE IT UNFORTUNATELY.'<br />
<br />
'DO YOU THINK WATTS COULD SE TO MY MAINTENANCE?'<br />
<br />
'ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE AROUND WHO KNOW A LOT ABOUT AUTOMATONS?'<br />
<br />
'THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE TOWER IS FASCINATING. PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO ALL SORTS OF PLACES.'<br />
<br />
'I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROFESSOR AGAIN SOMEDAY. AND GIVE HIM A GOOD TALKING TO.'<br />
<br />
'SHALL WE GO EXPLORING TODAY?'<br />
<br />
====Randi====<br />
'There is something about you, you know. I feel like we have this deep bond. Can't quite explain it. but uh... Aw man,you got me blushing.'<br />
<br />
'I'd be lying if I say I don't still think about things back then... But in the spirit of being honest, it's a lot more fun being here with you.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like someone's having a good day! Nope, don't even try and hide it! I can see it written all over your face!'<br />
<br />
'There was this one time I fell from a really high waterfall. And wouldn't you know it, not a scractch on me. Can you believe that?'<br />
<br />
'I heard you're Popoi's newest lackey! Yeah... it's not the kind of thing you can really back out on, so I say just own it.'<br />
<br />
'You wanna know how best to use the mana sword? I mean, I don't think it's the kind of thing you teach. You kinda... just do it?'<br />
<br />
'What do you do for fun when you're not out there adventuring? I'm looking for a hobby so if you got something, let me know.'<br />
<br />
'I got a thing with Primm and Popoi later... Hey, wanna come with?'<br />
<br />
'I honestly prefer you treat me just like any other guy. I'm more than just the Mana Sword's Chosen, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Oh hey, what's up?'<br />
<br />
====Primm====<br />
'Not a lot of folks out there I can count on to have my back out there. Says a lot about how much I trust you! Heh.'<br />
<br />
'Hey. You're a lot stronger than you think. Show some confidence!'<br />
<br />
'Going out on adventures with you... Seeing all those new sights... I could get used to that.'<br />
<br />
'You'd never think it by looking at her, but Luka down at that water palace is hundreds of years old!'<br />
<br />
'You can't ignore that self care. For mind AND body.'<br />
<br />
'And if you practice those martial arts, you bet no one's gotta... Stop looking at me like that! I have hobbies! I do other things!'<br />
<br />
'This town's not that bad, honestly. I'd say it's about on par with Pandora.'<br />
<br />
'Rippin' and rarin' to go. Just let me know when you're ready for adventure!'<br />
<br />
'Fancy seein' you here.'<br />
<br />
====Popoi====<br />
'Startin' to think of you like one of my family, bro. Aw man, look at me, gettin' all sentimental!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, there goes my favorite lackey! Good lookin' out, bro!'<br />
<br />
'Just happy to see me, is it?'<br />
<br />
'Training? You can do that later. Let's go have some boss 'n' lackey fun, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Bro, you gotta hide me. Sis is comin' and she knows about the prank I pulled!'<br />
<br />
'Got some treasure did ya? I'd be beamin', too! Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'I don't got the wings and all, but I am a faerie you know? So, uh, handle me with care. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'May not look like it, but I'm quite the actor, you know? Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'Come to pick up you boss, eh? Now that's a good lackey!'<br />
<br />
'Boy, am I bored. Don't suppose your favorite lackey could provide some entertainment, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Sheex====<br />
'I could use a flunkie like you. No... How does 'general' sounds?'<br />
<br />
'Say the word, and I'll teach you how to become a dark stalker.'<br />
<br />
'My power comes from Mavolia's realm, so I may rule this one!'<br />
<br />
'Carelessness is akin to a death wish. Keep cool if you want to live.'<br />
<br />
'Gotta put those miserable wretches to their place.'<br />
<br />
====Fanha====<br />
'Heh, you're the type I'd certainly take my time with.'<br />
<br />
'If you would just swear loyalty to the Empire...I might actually try a little.'<br />
<br />
'I've been wanting a new deputy, and I think I found just the one.'<br />
<br />
'Well, this just feels like fate, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'My plan was to use mind control to get what I wanted. But, I no longer care enough to exert the effort.'<br />
<br />
====Thanatos====<br />
'You shall be my next... Wait, I have a better use for you.'<br />
<br />
'Take a peak under this mask a be prepared to feel my wrath.'<br />
<br />
'Want to see my true face, do you? Hmph. You couldn't handle it.'<br />
<br />
'The sword's chosen hero, huh? Ha! And what makes one chosen?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't you love my powers? Even monsters bend to my will!'<br />
<br />
'This life energy! It's... Hmmm... Never mind.'<br />
<br />
'Who could research ancient magic in a place as wretchedly happy as this?'<br />
<br />
====Duran====<br />
'With you on my team, we can't lose! Here's to all the battles we've won, and all the battles we'll win.'<br />
<br />
'Even I get a little shaky when I'm up against someone strong. But that just means I'm excited for what's to come.'<br />
<br />
'It's easy to let power get to you–restraint is what's hard.'<br />
<br />
'You can't slack when you're on the battlefield. I train everyday so that my inexperience doesn't put my team in danger.'<br />
<br />
'Limits are meant to be broken, friend. Now let's go train!'<br />
<br />
'Feelin' pretty pumped today. Hey, wanna spar a little?'<br />
<br />
'No one I respect more than the Hero King himself. He's the reason I train, so I gotta make sure I live up to that.'<br />
<br />
'If all that can be said of me is that I'm the best up and comer, then I still got a lot of work to do.'<br />
<br />
'Your weapon is part of who you are, and you FORGOT it?! You gotta take better care of yourself, man!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, Up for some training?'<br />
<br />
====Angela====<br />
'I dunno, is it just me, or are we totally soulmates? ...On the battlefield, I mean!'<br />
<br />
'I feel like you're doing all the heavy lifting in this relationship. If you need me to do something, all you gotta do is ask, okay?'<br />
<br />
'We all have trials we gotta face someday. That's just life. You just gotta remember 'we' includes you, too.'<br />
<br />
'I don't really have anything to say at the moment. Okay, actually, wait. Do I talk too much? I feel I've been talking, like, A LOT.'<br />
<br />
'So much about this place is just... I dunno... 'different'. Not at all like Altena, that's for sure.'<br />
<br />
'You know I'm a princess, right? I'm not the type to flaunt their status, but would it kill you to let me get my way every once in a while?'<br />
<br />
'You would not believe how amazing it felt to finally use magic. Living up to all those expectations? Oh yeah. That's the stuff.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, there was this whole this with the Crimson Wizard. I mean, there's not much to say, but you-know-who is still not quite over it.'<br />
<br />
'Go study magic? Nah, I mean, you're welcome to, but no that José's not around, a girls gotta go out and live her life, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You look like you're having a good day. What's up?'<br />
<br />
====Kevin====<br />
'Mmm... You smell just like Karl smell. It the good person smell! we now friends forever!'<br />
<br />
'Karl is my best friend! Very special to me. You, also very special friend! I you need help, ask me! I help! Always!'<br />
<br />
'I HATE sitting around! I want to go on adventure! ...I always ready for adventure...'<br />
<br />
'During night time, Beastmen go through change. We get very strong, but some beastman also get very mean. I say, be careful around beastmen at night.'<br />
<br />
'Ludgar...he does not like humans very much. But, many beastman DO like humans. Like me, I am a beastman that like human.'<br />
<br />
'I very bad at puzzles, so not very fan of dungeons. I more like forests and outside. Fewer puzzle.'<br />
<br />
'Mmmm I smell very delicious smell coming from...that way! Do you want to come with?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, good to see you again! Now, this time? We spar, yes? You spar?'<br />
<br />
'I...not a good talker. But talking with you...I like.'<br />
<br />
====Charlotte====<br />
'So gwad to have a fwiend wike you. With Mik not awound, you make the pewfect wackey!'<br />
<br />
'We've become such gweat fwiends, haven't we? I'd say if thewe was such a thing as a fwiend wevew we'd be at 'fwee massages', don't you think?'<br />
<br />
'Good thing you got me awound, someone with weal stweet smawts! Pwincesses like Wiesz and Angewa aw so cwuwess they couldn't even give ya diwections!'<br />
<br />
'Oh! Just who I was wooking fow! Now, I need you to go out and get me a few things. Now, off you go!'<br />
<br />
'Going to new pwaces is weawwy weawwy fun! So, next time we go out. Take me somepwace new!'<br />
<br />
'Twaining? Aww that's good fow is getting tiwed! Duwan and Kevin, it's aww they evew tawk about. I just don't get the appeaw.'<br />
<br />
'Ugh! Evewyone is tweating me wike I'm a wittwe kid! Evewyone except Hawkeye, that is. You shouwd weawn fwom him!'<br />
<br />
'You evew have a nap you think onwy lasted fow a few houws, onwy to find out it was mowe wike 24? ...Yeah...me neithew...'<br />
<br />
'I may sound wike a baby, but I'm actually 15 yeaws owds! No! Sewiouswy! Evewyone says I'm wise beyond my yeaws!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what awe you up to? If it's something fun, Chawwotte wants in!'<br />
<br />
====Hawkeye====<br />
'Just let Hawkeye here protect you, okay? ...What? I'm being serious!'<br />
<br />
'What was that? Come on! We're friends! No need to act all polite.'<br />
<br />
'Sure do love talkin' to you. I could do it all day, in fact.'<br />
<br />
'You gotta be aware of your surroundings out there. Nothin' more dangerous than mother nature herself.'<br />
<br />
'Teach you how to be a thief? Kid, you can't learn to be a thief, go gotta go out there and steal yourself.'<br />
<br />
'There's more to thievin' than stealing you know. You gotta be a master of disguise as well. It's a lot of work!'<br />
<br />
'You think knife-work like this is easy? The Nevarl style is harder than it looks!'<br />
<br />
'Never let a target get away. That's the thief's code.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you on break too? Can't be all business all the time, am I right?'<br />
<br />
====Riesz====<br />
'I feel my heart is at peace when you are near. You are a rare one, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'Perhaps if my journey had included you, it may have been a lot more fun.'<br />
<br />
'I'm afraid I still quite do not know the lay of the land just yet. Do you mind showing me around?'<br />
<br />
'I often think upon the beauty of my home, Laurent. Perhaps, it is because I have found its equal?'<br />
<br />
'I began by quest as a girl alone, but now... Fate has a strange way of weaving its web, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'What do I want? Heh... The simple act of asking is more than enough for me.'<br />
<br />
'One must properly prepare for an adventure! If you need any help buying items, I'm more than happy to help!'<br />
<br />
'My quest to find my brother was filled with great trials. T'was a lonely road indeed...'<br />
<br />
'My brother is very, very special to me.'<br />
<br />
'Well, well. You look to be in good spirits! Care for a quick joust?'<br />
<br />
====Bil====<br />
'I would teach you my greatest technique if you so asked.'<br />
<br />
'Why not add the power of darkness to your arsenal? Just think of the possibilities.'<br />
<br />
'Flashy magic and giant swords are unnecessary when it comes to burying your target.'<br />
<br />
'The way of the ninja has no shortcuts!'<br />
<br />
'There are some skills that can only be done when two ninjas are uniquely in tune with one another. Something you will never be.'<br />
<br />
'Have you ever thought of becoming a ninja? I think you'd be pretty good at it.'<br />
<br />
'Your skills in stealth are impressive indeed. Might even be better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You better be ready to pay up if you need our services. We don't work for cheap.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like you found me... Not bad.'<br />
<br />
====Ben====<br />
'You know what? From now on, all your ninja related needs are half off. I call it the shinobi sidekick discount!'<br />
<br />
'As a token from our friendship, I bethroth onto you this Nevarl ninja garb... Mm? You don't want it?'<br />
<br />
'Our skills take countless hours of practice to master. You can't just learn them overnight.'<br />
<br />
'One might find peace with the comfort this place provides, but to a Nevarl ninja, comfort only breeds anxiety.'<br />
<br />
'The best information is worth it weight in gold.'<br />
<br />
'I won't reveal my identity for no good reason...'<br />
<br />
'A ninja must forgo the light and live in shadow. It is our way. The mission always comes first.'<br />
<br />
'Surely this is fate. Help us and I'll teach you my skills.'<br />
<br />
====Ludgar====<br />
'Perhaps it was plain jealousy... the more I see you all, the clearer it becomes.'<br />
<br />
'When I eventually wear the crown, I will be sure to keep you in my inner circle.'<br />
<br />
'Kevin if my rival, but one day I will... No, let's not.'<br />
<br />
'I cannot express in words the joy I felt when I was named leader...'<br />
<br />
'You need not only power, but fear to break a foe's spirits.'<br />
<br />
====Crimson Wizard====<br />
'Sometimes I ponder on the possibility of a life different from the one I chose. Hm...'<br />
<br />
'I have traveled this road for so long, yet I feel no closer to the end than since I had began. Power....what am I missing?'<br />
<br />
'I trust too deeply in the power of dark magic, is it? Hmph. How long has it been since anyone has lectured me?'<br />
<br />
'This magic will someday... You know what, never mind.'<br />
<br />
'You are no average minion, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'You look almost ready to learn about the dark arts... What say you?'<br />
<br />
'Teach you magic? Hmph. I doubt you could handle it.'<br />
<br />
'Wicked purpose? Mere propaganda. What is wicked to some is virtue to others.'<br />
<br />
====Isabella====<br />
'Say, won't you help me revive the Dark Majesty? He is my everything, you see...'<br />
<br />
'So, you've defeated a benevodon, have you? Hm, there may be more to you than meets the eye.'<br />
<br />
'You want power too, yes? Then join me, and I shall give you the power of darkness!'<br />
<br />
'Love? Ha, I am not so naive... It is power I need. Without it, there is nothing I can protect!'<br />
<br />
'It is not that I am eager to throw my life away, but rather...I am ready to give it up if it will make him happy...'<br />
<br />
'Isabella... Belladonna... Call me what you like as it makes no difference to me.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, is that vexatious lad here as well?'<br />
<br />
'Belladonna...? Ah, a name familiar to me indeed...'<br />
<br />
'I will do anything to see the Dark Majesty's return. Anything...'<br />
<br />
'I have sworn my loyalty to the Dark Majesty...'<br />
<br />
====Goremand====<br />
'And what are you looking at, hm? Watch it or I'll put you in my belly!'<br />
<br />
'You won't get in the way of my next meal! Understand?'<br />
<br />
'I'm too busy to fool with little brats like you. Now scram!'<br />
<br />
'I'm still feeling full from my last feast! Hee hee hee!'<br />
<br />
'Nothing like a tasty soul to sooth my appetite!'<br />
<br />
'Do not forget I am a wizard who serves the Masked Mage!'<br />
<br />
'Hee hee hee! Call on me if you're in need of my service in you journey. I'm quite good at disposal the fallen!'<br />
<br />
'Is there anyone you're looking to get rid of? For I know just who can help...in exchange for their soul.'<br />
<br />
'Oooh! If only I could get my hands on the Mana Sword!'<br />
<br />
'I do enjoy a place full of LIFE, you see... And this one is as lively as they come! Hee hee!'<br />
<br />
====Lekius====<br />
'Don't get me wrong. I love Illusia, but this place is pretty great, too.'<br />
<br />
'If I'm to protect the people of Illusia I've got to get a lot stronger than I am now.'<br />
<br />
'If you need my help, just say the word.'<br />
<br />
'Are there are guardian beasts in this world too?'<br />
<br />
'You seem to know your way on a battlefield... Ever try going long range?'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Keldy? I figured you'd be together.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what's your Def Flora?'<br />
<br />
'This place is pretty great, don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'If you need an archer, you won't find one better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You look well!'<br />
<br />
====Keldric====<br />
'The people here are so warm and friendly...almost as much as the people in Illusia!'<br />
<br />
'A blacksmith named Watts? The king of Ishe shares the name.'<br />
<br />
'Call on me for anything, okay? I'll be there to help!'<br />
<br />
'This feather is from a guardian beast. Name was Flammie, I think?'<br />
<br />
'No Tree Folk here, but this place has all sorts of folks!'<br />
<br />
'What's the deal with the vines? Gonna be honest. I have no idea.'<br />
<br />
'Buju's run off again! I should probably go catch him, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you wanna come play with me and Faye?'<br />
<br />
'Hm? Is there something on my face?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, how's it going?'<br />
<br />
====Shiloh====<br />
'I left Bud and Lisa to keep watch back home, but I wonder how they're doing...'<br />
<br />
'We'd better go and tell tell Li'l Cactus what we got up to today.'<br />
<br />
'These coins? Yeah, I think they look neat too! And they're etched with images of elemental spirits, see?'<br />
<br />
'I can play a pretty mean harp, you know. No fooling!'<br />
<br />
'So do you have a workshop around here? Let me know and I'll get our gear tempered to tip-top shape!'<br />
<br />
'I bet the orchard's bearing fruit right about now...'<br />
<br />
'Something about this place just puts me at ease. As if I were home in my own village.'<br />
<br />
'I'm pretty good at mastering all sorts of weapons in little to no time.'<br />
<br />
'Being swift and nimble has always come easy for me.'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard of artifacts? They can look just like about anything!'<br />
<br />
====Serafina====<br />
'Duba Duda Dubba... Just practicing my dudbear. Ever heard of it?'<br />
<br />
'There are times when we need the strength to shield the ones most dear to us.'<br />
<br />
'I'm no stranger to hard work. I've raised some pets that were literal monsters, tended and orchard, and even did a little bit of weapon tempering. All on my own, too!'<br />
<br />
'Where I come from, we've got penguins for pirates! Would you believe it?'<br />
<br />
'I've seen a few familiar faces around here already! I think I'm gonna like it here.'<br />
<br />
'Do you come home to this place? It's a wonderful thing, don't you think? Having a place to come home to.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Shiloh around?'<br />
<br />
'Meeting all sorts of folks on your journey will be the key to your strength. I just know it!'<br />
<br />
'I've had my fair share of adventures, too, journeying all over. So I know a thing or two about wielding a weapon.'<br />
<br />
'You know, the feel of this place reminds me so much of home. I just can't help but feel at ease here.'<br />
<br />
====Niccolo====<br />
'If there's anything you want, I'll find it for you!'<br />
<br />
'If only I could be reborn into a world of cats and rabbits.'<br />
<br />
'It's too dangerous for folks like us to wander outside town.'<br />
<br />
'I bought all sorts of things so it's about time to sell it off.'<br />
<br />
'The secret to good business it being sincere. Take it from me.'<br />
<br />
'Business flourishes wherever I go!'<br />
<br />
'Smile! Let the world know you're happy!'<br />
<br />
'Let me know if there's anything you might want!'<br />
<br />
'I'd just like to keep on adventuring as I always have, but now, with you!'<br />
<br />
'Good seeing you again!'<br />
<br />
====Sierra====<br />
'I promise here and now to protect you with all I have. For this too, is my duty.'<br />
<br />
'I hope one day you have the honor of meeting Vadise. I am almost certain he will take a liking to you.'<br />
<br />
'You remind me of my brother. And I assure you, that is no compliment.'<br />
<br />
'Vadise is my master and my friend. To be in his service fills me with great pride.'<br />
<br />
'A dragoon is a protector of their master dragon. It is a bond unlike any other.'<br />
<br />
'If you feel my strength is any of use, you need only just call.'<br />
<br />
'I fight to preserve order. Do you?'<br />
<br />
'I am a dragoon and I serve only my master, Vadise.'<br />
<br />
'You look healthy.'<br />
<br />
====Larc====<br />
'You know, I feel I can overcome even a thousand-year curse.'<br />
<br />
'Once the curse breaks, you ask? I want to see my sister again.'<br />
<br />
'I know what I've done was wrong.But I have no regrets.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, Sierra's my sister. Tough I can't say I've been the best brother...'<br />
<br />
'The laws of the dragoon must be obeyed. No matter what.'<br />
<br />
'The name 'Larc The Conqueror' brings back memories.'<br />
<br />
'Come with me to the underworld and... you know what, forget I said anything.'<br />
<br />
'I'll lose my edge hanging around a place like this.'<br />
<br />
'Have you come to invite me on an adventure?'<br />
<br />
'What are you up to today?'<br />
<br />
====Lady Blackpearl====<br />
'Seeing you reminds me of an old friend. You're similar in ways.'<br />
<br />
'Is there some you are bound to protect? If so, stay with them always. That is where I failed.'<br />
<br />
'Those who cry for Jumi turn to stone. You'd best be careful.'<br />
<br />
'Every Jumi's core is different. Mine is black pearl, Elazul's is Lapis Lazuli.'<br />
<br />
'Jumi only die if our core is damaged. There is no natural limit on our lives.'<br />
<br />
'There was once a time long ago when I was a Jumi Knight.'<br />
<br />
'Elazul? Looking for me? Doubt it. Likely it was Pearl.'<br />
<br />
'There's a jewel hunter... Er. Nevermind. Just be sure to keep an eyeone anything you'd rather not have stolen.'<br />
<br />
'Florina... I wonder where you are right now...'<br />
<br />
'You look well. As for me, I'm much the same.'<br />
<br />
====Elazul====<br />
'You hurt Pearl and you're dead. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'Are there Jumi in this town? Better to train now before it's too late. You've got someone to protect after all, don't you?'<br />
<br />
'Don't feel like you gotta shoulder all this on your own. We're all here for you.'<br />
<br />
'Knights need only bonds to one guardian. That's Pearl for me.'<br />
<br />
'The Jumi have knights and guardians. Knights protect guardians, and guardians can heal knights with their tears... Or so I hear.'<br />
<br />
'Me? I'm out there looking for this other Jumi I know...'<br />
<br />
'You always so busy, you know? Is, uh, whatever it is you got going on really all that important?'<br />
<br />
'I you need any help, all you gotta do is ask. All right?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't hurt to invite me out to one of your adventures very once in a while, you know? I'm standing right here.'<br />
<br />
'You seem chipper. Me? Same old same old.'<br />
<br />
====Escad====<br />
'You have a heart of justice. I can tell!'<br />
<br />
'Something's off about you. I get the feeling you'll trip me up if I'm not careful. But for now, I'll take you at your word.'<br />
<br />
'I'll admit you're starting to grow on me. Maybe I'll keep you company on this journey a little longer.'<br />
<br />
'Is there someone you want to protect? For me, I must defend Matilda. And for that reason, I will defeat Irwin!'<br />
<br />
'Will you stand for justice with me? Or be like Daena, an enemy to humans an protecting demons?'<br />
<br />
'My master once told me that you decide your destiny. There is no victory for those who dend their will.'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting all sorts of folks around here. Is your fluffy friend an elemental spirit? If it's a demon... let's just say I don't take too kindly to them.'<br />
<br />
'Scared of death? Ha. I have no fear of dying.'<br />
<br />
'No one will stop me from fulfilling my destiny.'<br />
<br />
'Did you want something? I don't mind, as long as you stay out of my way.'<br />
<br />
====Elle====<br />
'Being here makes me want to sing to my heart's content! And you wouldn't mind, would you?'<br />
<br />
'I'm not a fan of fighting, but I can use magic if I must!'<br />
<br />
'It hurts to admit it. But my voice would would sink ships into the sea...'<br />
<br />
'Would you mind taking me along one of you adventures every now and then?'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good with musical instruments, too!'<br />
<br />
'Flameshe and Monique are two of my good friends!'<br />
<br />
'I'm a siren, you know! I can fly through the sky!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if Gilbert is around...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go and see the world. Perhaps little by little tough, since it's a bit daunting.'<br />
<br />
'I really love to sing, you see...'<br />
<br />
====Sandra====<br />
'If only I or even Florina had someone like you in the Bejeweled City... Never mind. That's long passed now.'<br />
<br />
'Survival of the fittest–or rather, the strongest–is the very law of nature, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You must protect those who are important to you, even if it means hurting someone else. You understand, right?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, have you come to capture me? Do me a favor and let me go for today!'<br />
<br />
'Be sure to lock up when you go out. Thieves won't pass up their chance if they find one.'<br />
<br />
'...What's gotten you so excited? Did you find a tasty mark to target perhaps?'<br />
<br />
'You have a Jumi scent about you...'<br />
<br />
'What a curious town! And yet something about this place feels nostalgic.'<br />
<br />
'You should invite me along once in a while when you go, alright?'<br />
<br />
'You're looking well.'<br />
<br />
====Ferrik====<br />
'I'm gonna keep training till I become the greatest swordsman of all time!'<br />
<br />
'You can leave the fighting to me, all right? My skills with the sword are second to none.'<br />
<br />
'Heard to downed a big one all by yourself. Did you really? I kinda find that hard to believe.'<br />
<br />
'Dudbears can go anywhere in the world they want with just a shovel. Can you imagine that? I'm kinda jealous, actually.'<br />
<br />
'Bet you didn't know I can play the harmonica, did ya? Yup. Wandere taught me how.'<br />
<br />
'I should probably train with other weapons. Don't wanna become a one trick pony, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Seamoon sure is something, you know? A real role model!'<br />
<br />
'Off for some monster hunting? Aw man, I wanna go!'<br />
<br />
'How bout we do some training later? Could always use for some more practice with the sword, you know?'<br />
<br />
====Wanderer====<br />
'Ever heard of an island called Illusia? I love it there, and I'd say I love being here almost just the same.'<br />
<br />
'I'm a bit of an oddball in the Niccolo community. Or so I've been told.'<br />
<br />
'You seem like an experienced adventurer. Mind if I join ya next time?'<br />
<br />
'Don't have a shop, I just wander wherever the wind takes me.'<br />
<br />
'Now this here harmonica is very important to me. Lot of sentimental value, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I much prefer going on adventures to merchant work.'<br />
<br />
'Been to a lot of countries in my time. Remember a beautiful one, lush greens all around. And oh, there was one with a castle made entirely out of ice, too.'<br />
<br />
'I am afraid the years have not been the kindest to the ol' stomach region. Used to be solid muscle, now...not so much.'<br />
<br />
'I've traveled the world over, and I've seen lots of places. So I know the good and the bad. And here, it's good.'<br />
<br />
'Surrounded by nature, and perfect weather to boot. Quite the place you got there.'<br />
<br />
====Tamber====<br />
'You know, you have a great voice! How about we do a duet?'<br />
<br />
'I started dancing when I was little. Guess I always knew I was going to grow up to be a dancer!'<br />
<br />
'How about a dance?'<br />
<br />
'Know any places around here to pick medicinal herbs?'<br />
<br />
'If you're stressing over something, you can talk to me.'<br />
<br />
'I'm great a singing and dancing. A real multi-talent. If you ever wanna learn, let me know!'<br />
<br />
'If you're in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help. Okay?'<br />
<br />
'Gotta keep up the morning exercices, right?'<br />
<br />
'You've been going a it pretty hard lately. Let me help!'<br />
<br />
'I see you're in high spirits today!'<br />
<br />
====Aria====<br />
'The Mana Sword? Could it be you possess a brilliant soul too?'<br />
<br />
'Say, is your floating friend a doll? Seems pretty haughty for one though. Did you use a technique for transferring its soul?'<br />
<br />
'Angels and demons can sense the voices of souls.'<br />
<br />
'Excuse me, do you know how I can reach the celestial land?'<br />
<br />
'Is your world like mine? A world that someone created? I knew it... We're just alike!'<br />
<br />
'Being here brings me comfort. And in that case, maybe I don't need to go home...'<br />
<br />
'Just call me if you need any help! I'll fly off in a flash!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if he made it here too... We were one for so long, it still takes some getting used to now.'<br />
<br />
'I can only sense the voice of a soul when I need to. It's odd though, because I can never sense yours...'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting people of all sorts here–a lot like the Forsaken City!'<br />
<br />
====Van====<br />
'I used to think Cacao was the only one. But you just might have a brilliant soul too!'<br />
<br />
'You're a good kid. A lot like someone I know...'<br />
<br />
'I searched for the Mana Sword too once, you know! But back then, we were always together...'<br />
<br />
'I can't sense the voice of your soul, but I wonder if an angel could.'<br />
<br />
'In the mortal world, demons aren't one with angels, so my powers get weakened.'<br />
<br />
'Neither a celestial nor a mortal place, but it's not bad here. I'm even starting to like it!'<br />
<br />
'Is your fluffy friend using a technique for transferrng his soul? Is that how he gets about?'<br />
<br />
'I've been running into all kinds of people here. But how about some demons like me?'<br />
<br />
'Searching for the Mana Sword, huh? Can't be the same one we're looking for, can it?'<br />
<br />
'Hey! Would ya know the way back to the celestial land from here?'<br />
<br />

====Duffle====<br />
'Anythin' fun goin' on?'<br />
<br />
'I swear uponst a knight's blade to be-ith there-ith whenever thou art in need of me! Or whatever!'<br />
<br />
'Aw, man, I wish I was the mana swordsman. It's so cool! But I guess you'll have to settle for the even cooler Duffle!'<br />
<br />
'Our Last adventure was the BEST! We have got to do that again!'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go check out Lady Moti's? Just LOVE that place! So many new things to see every time I go!'<br />
<br />
'Yo Watts! Check out my sword! Lookin' real sharp, eh?!'<br />
<br />
'Oh. My clothes? It's kind of like a house style, me and my fam are into.They're really easy to move around in!'<br />
<br />
'Hey! I was just thinking about a new pose! It goes like...this! ...Or maybe more...like this?'<br />
<br />
'Just let your girl Duffle know if you need anything! Protecting the peace is what I do!'<br />
<br />
'You see that book Honeycomb is reading? How many pages you think it's got?'<br />
<br />
'Yup! Training today, too! those new moves won't learn themselves!'<br />
<br />
====Honeycomb====<br />
'You in some kind of trouble again? ...Well just let me know if you need my help.'<br />
<br />
'If you need me to do something, just say it. I am one of your knights after all.'<br />
<br />
'You should read the legend of the Mana Tree... Because it'd be helpful, and, uhhh, we could talk about it, too?'<br />
<br />
'I'm surrounded by idiots. Can't imagine what would happen if I wasn't there... Guess I better stick around, you know, just in case.'<br />
<br />
'...Wonder if Lady Moti ever smiles...'<br />
<br />
'Watts is a trusted member of this town, got it? Don't go causing him any trouble.'<br />
<br />
'Of course you have to try hard at it. Goals just don't meet themselves, you know.'<br />
<br />
'I'll have you know these clothes are standard sorcerer attire!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, I'm a lot more useful out there than your average adult. So don't treat me like some kid.'<br />
<br />
'Duffle is at it again, eh? Where does she find all that energy?'<br />
<br />
'I'm a busy guy you know. If you don't need me for anything, I'm goin' home.'<br />
<br />
====Blainchet====<br />
'Feel free to come to me with anything you need. I'm much older and wiser, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I beg of you, be more careful. Don't rush into danger alone.'<br />
<br />
'You want to... pet me? How to respond...'<br />
<br />
'I'm not good at hiding things. You just see it in my face.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen anyone around who could be wolfkin?'<br />
<br />
'Shopping, eh? Can'r say I'm want for anything especially.'<br />
<br />
'My clothes? Someone gave them to me quite a long time ago.'<br />
<br />
'Right now I'm in the middle of handling a request. Nothing major, but I welcome the work!'<br />
<br />
'Do you have anything you might need help with? All this waiting around makes me anxious.'<br />
<br />
'What a nice place this is...'<br />
<br />
====Raxa====<br />
'Ain't scared of nothin', huh? That's why I like you!'<br />
<br />
'Best to spread your wings while you're young. Yeah, I'm talkin' about you, brat.'<br />
<br />
'How 'bout we go sell some of that loot, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, better keep your distance. I'm getting kinda hungry, here!'<br />
<br />
'They say I'm poisonous... wanna find out?'<br />
<br />
'Think I'm scary don't ya? Eh, I'm used to it!'<br />
<br />
'Sticking around here's only gonna make you soft!'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, yeah, we're all peace, love, and plants here, right?'<br />
<br />
'Hear anything good lately?'<br />
<br />
'Ugh, this is so boring. Why don't we go out and do something, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Mousseline====<br />
'Wish could just vanish together. Can't do it? Boooriiing.'<br />
<br />
'The Mana Tree... Source of all things, huh.'<br />
<br />
'I say just have fun, forget all the other stuff.'<br />
<br />
'No one likes a third wheel. How bout we go out, just the two of us?'<br />
<br />
'Looking for something? Or maybe... you're looking for me?'<br />
<br />
'My age? Hm, gimme a second. I'm trying to remember.'<br />
<br />
'Wanna know more about me, huh? Hee hee, where shall we start?'<br />
<br />
'What a small town... Very local vibe going on here.'<br />
<br />
'Humans are such busy bees... but I haven't the faintest idea why.'<br />
<br />
'Maybe I should take a nap!'<br />
<br />
====Ebon Knight====<br />
'What awaits at the end of this fate once fulfilled is something I want to see through the end...even if it means you're along for the ride.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, where does your drive come from?'<br />
<br />
'Leave me be...'<br />
<br />
'No matter where I look, all I see is the hopeless futility of it all.'<br />
<br />
'I still haven't forgiven you, best remember that!'<br />
<br />
'What have I been brought here for...?'<br />
<br />
'Who am I, you ask? The Mana Goddess knows very well.'<br />
<br />
'Oh why, Mana Goddess...'<br />
<br />
'You are an enemy to this world. Don't you ever forget this.'<br />
<br />
'Be it this town, or my very self... Everything is but an illusion.'<br />
<br />
====Sumo====<br />
'Don't think I've ever had, uh, time off? A vacation? No-fight time? Er, anyway, I'm at loss as to what to do with myself. Must be what peace feels like.'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to go out on another adventure, see all kinds of worlds. Without my sword, this time though. Just me and someone I care about, seeing the sights.'<br />
<br />
'Dwarves are sure a lively bunch, eh? Used to know a Watts. Funny thing though, not the same Watts that's in this town. Seems like a popular name?'<br />
<br />
'I can use magic all right, but if I had to pick which I'm better at, I'd say it's the sword. You can thank Bogard for that.'<br />
<br />
'Amanda and me have spent most of our life fighting to survive, you know. It's been though, but we survived by the help of all our friends.'<br />
<br />
'You know what this town needs? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere here, but if Lester was here playing his harp? It'd be perfect.'<br />
<br />
'You know what a Chocobo is? They're these big yellow birds you can ride? Anyway, don't think I coulda finish my quest without 'em.'<br />
<br />
'Been on the road so long, feels kind of weird to finally settle down. I think I could get used to this.'<br />
<br />
'Going out on another adventure? Well, if you ever need and extra sword, I'm always ready.'<br />
<br />
'How's it going? Let me know if you need anything.'<br />
<br />
====Amanda====<br />
'You seen Sumo around? Fine if ya haven't. Just askin' is all.'<br />
<br />
'Take me on your next adventure, will ya? Don't worry, I can hold my own.'<br />
<br />
'Favorite food? Well I ain't had a whole lot to begin with, so I guess you could say they're are my favorite.'<br />
<br />
'Seen a lot of places over the years, and I gotta say, this town sure is unique. I mean that in a good way, by the by.'<br />
<br />
'Don't like talkin' 'bout the past, if I'm bein' honest. Ain't a lot of good memories back there.'<br />
<br />
'Might not look it, but I'm pretty handy with a knife. It's the only weapon I use, after all.'<br />
<br />
'Time goes by reeeal slow here. This kinda slow you wish you were spendin' with somebody else, ya know what I mean?'<br />
<br />
'Wanna go on a date? Now look at that, you look redder than an apple. D'ya think I was serious?'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard my brother play the harp? He's pretty good, so if ya haven't, you should!'<br />
<br />
'Doin' okay?'<br />
<br />
====Dark Lord====<br />
'You have proven to be quite the worthy ally, indeed. Say, I am looking for a new right hand, what do you say?'<br />
<br />
'There will come a day when I will get my revenge. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.'<br />
<br />
'You may take me on your pity adventures. But do not get in my way, and do not expect me to help.'<br />
<br />
'This towns defenses are a joke. Why, it would take a small Granzian battalion a day to secure it.'<br />
<br />
'You friends are not as weak as I expected. They'd make fine slaves, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'So that...is the Mana Tree... What at precious little thing...'<br />
<br />
'I see Julius is here as well... Hmph. His ambitions are of no interest to me.'<br />
<br />
'I have enough of this. I don't care where, take me into battle. I can suffer this boredom no longer.'<br />
<br />
'What is it? You finally ready to give me some kind of challenge?'<br />
<br />
====Julius====<br />
'I'm more suited to war than peace. Don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'There are types of magic being used here I've never seen before. Oh? The magic I wield is rarer than all of them? Interesting...'<br />
<br />
'You're an odd one, wanting to travel with someone like me.'<br />
<br />
'This world's strange power... could it be connected to Mana?'<br />
<br />
'Sumo and I have history. But our story's end must come.'<br />
<br />
'I won't do anything to Fuji, don't worry. She is too important of a pawn for me to risk putting her in harms way.'<br />
<br />
'Could the Dark Lord be here too? Heheh, very interesting.'<br />
<br />
'Keeping an eye on me, are you? No need. I'm quite harmless.'<br />
<br />
'A Mana Tree exists here too... Hm? No, only thinking aloud.'<br />
<br />
'What are you up too? If I can be of help, let me know anytime.'<br />
<br />
====Fuji====<br />
'I just wanted to thank you for protecting me and...Ah, never mind. Just was on my mind and I thought I should tell you.'<br />
<br />
'Fighting to others is no easy task. But for as hard as it is, the result is worth it.'<br />
<br />
'I seem to always be the one getting save, but I hope that someday I can be the one who saves. Be a real help to Sumo, you know?'<br />
<br />
'I'd love to teach ou about the healing arts, but my tomes come from my world and I'm not sure you'd be able to read them...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go out on adventures with you all! I won't hold you back, I promise!'<br />
<br />
'The mana tree there is a bit different than the one I know, but there's something familiar about it. This unnerving feeling you get... Just me?'<br />
<br />
'You ever seen one of those flying ships before? I've been on one. I was a bit scary, If I'm being honest.'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good at healing magic, in case you didn't know. So feel free to pay me a visit when you're hurt!'<br />
<br />
'This town is so lively and full of color. You can have fun just by looking around!'<br />
<br />
'How are you doing? Don't overdo it out there, okay?'<br />
<br />
====Marcy====<br />
'MY PURPOSE WAS TO DISCOVER AND TRANSLATE TABLETS IN THE TOWER, BUT HELPING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY MAKES ME HAPPY.'<br />
<br />
'I AM LEARNING SO MUCH JUST BEING IN THIS SPOT. SO MUCH ABOUT THIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT IT.'<br />
<br />
'I REMEMBER SUMO. I WAS HIS GUIDE WHEN HE WENT EXPLORING ONCE.'<br />
<br />
'I YOU HAPPEN TO VISIT ANY RUINS THEN TAKE ME WITH YOU. I AM SURE I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE.'<br />
<br />
'I SAW SOMEONE WHO MOVES IN A STRANGE WAY. I AM UNABLE TO IMITATE IT UNFORTUNATELY.'<br />
<br />
'DO YOU THINK WATTS COULD SE TO MY MAINTENANCE?'<br />
<br />
'ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE AROUND WHO KNOW A LOT ABOUT AUTOMATONS?'<br />
<br />
'THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE TOWER IS FASCINATING. PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO ALL SORTS OF PLACES.'<br />
<br />
'I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROFESSOR AGAIN SOMEDAY. AND GIVE HIM A GOOD TALKING TO.'<br />
<br />
'SHALL WE GO EXPLORING TODAY?'<br />
<br />
====Randi====<br />
'There is something about you, you know. I feel like we have this deep bond. Can't quite explain it. but uh... Aw man,you got me blushing.'<br />
<br />
'I'd be lying if I say I don't still think about things back then... But in the spirit of being honest, it's a lot more fun being here with you.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like someone's having a good day! Nope, don't even try and hide it! I can see it written all over your face!'<br />
<br />
'There was this one time I fell from a really high waterfall. And wouldn't you know it, not a scractch on me. Can you believe that?'<br />
<br />
'I heard you're Popoi's newest lackey! Yeah... it's not the kind of thing you can really back out on, so I say just own it.'<br />
<br />
'You wanna know how best to use the mana sword? I mean, I don't think it's the kind of thing you teach. You kinda... just do it?'<br />
<br />
'What do you do for fun when you're not out there adventuring? I'm looking for a hobby so if you got something, let me know.'<br />
<br />
'I got a thing with Primm and Popoi later... Hey, wanna come with?'<br />
<br />
'I honestly prefer you treat me just like any other guy. I'm more than just the Mana Sword's Chosen, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Oh hey, what's up?'<br />
<br />
====Primm====<br />
'Not a lot of folks out there I can count on to have my back out there. Says a lot about how much I trust you! Heh.'<br />
<br />
'Hey. You're a lot stronger than you think. Show some confidence!'<br />
<br />
'Going out on adventures with you... Seeing all those new sights... I could get used to that.'<br />
<br />
'You'd never think it by looking at her, but Luka down at that water palace is hundreds of years old!'<br />
<br />
'You can't ignore that self care. For mind AND body.'<br />
<br />
'And if you practice those martial arts, you bet no one's gotta... Stop looking at me like that! I have hobbies! I do other things!'<br />
<br />
'This town's not that bad, honestly. I'd say it's about on par with Pandora.'<br />
<br />
'Rippin' and rarin' to go. Just let me know when you're ready for adventure!'<br />
<br />
'Fancy seein' you here.'<br />
<br />
====Popoi====<br />
'Startin' to think of you like one of my family, bro. Aw man, look at me, gettin' all sentimental!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, there goes my favorite lackey! Good lookin' out, bro!'<br />
<br />
'Just happy to see me, is it?'<br />
<br />
'Training? You can do that later. Let's go have some boss 'n' lackey fun, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Bro, you gotta hide me. Sis is comin' and she knows about the prank I pulled!'<br />
<br />
'Got some treasure did ya? I'd be beamin', too! Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'I don't got the wings and all, but I am a faerie you know? So, uh, handle me with care. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'May not look like it, but I'm quite the actor, you know? Geheh!'<br />
<br />
'Come to pick up you boss, eh? Now that's a good lackey!'<br />
<br />
'Boy, am I bored. Don't suppose your favorite lackey could provide some entertainment, eh?'<br />
<br />
====Sheex====<br />
'I could use a flunkie like you. No... How does 'general' sounds?'<br />
<br />
'Say the word, and I'll teach you how to become a dark stalker.'<br />
<br />
'My power comes from Mavolia's realm, so I may rule this one!'<br />
<br />
'Carelessness is akin to a death wish. Keep cool if you want to live.'<br />
<br />
'Gotta put those miserable wretches to their place.'<br />
<br />
====Fanha====<br />
'Heh, you're the type I'd certainly take my time with.'<br />
<br />
'If you would just swear loyalty to the Empire...I might actually try a little.'<br />
<br />
'I've been wanting a new deputy, and I think I found just the one.'<br />
<br />
'Well, this just feels like fate, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'My plan was to use mind control to get what I wanted. But, I no longer care enough to exert the effort.'<br />
<br />
====Thanatos====<br />
'You shall be my next... Wait, I have a better use for you.'<br />
<br />
'Take a peak under this mask a be prepared to feel my wrath.'<br />
<br />
'Want to see my true face, do you? Hmph. You couldn't handle it.'<br />
<br />
'The sword's chosen hero, huh? Ha! And what makes one chosen?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't you love my powers? Even monsters bend to my will!'<br />
<br />
'This life energy! It's... Hmmm... Never mind.'<br />
<br />
'Who could research ancient magic in a place as wretchedly happy as this?'<br />
<br />
====Duran====<br />
'With you on my team, we can't lose! Here's to all the battles we've won, and all the battles we'll win.'<br />
<br />
'Even I get a little shaky when I'm up against someone strong. But that just means I'm excited for what's to come.'<br />
<br />
'It's easy to let power get to you–restraint is what's hard.'<br />
<br />
'You can't slack when you're on the battlefield. I train everyday so that my inexperience doesn't put my team in danger.'<br />
<br />
'Limits are meant to be broken, friend. Now let's go train!'<br />
<br />
'Feelin' pretty pumped today. Hey, wanna spar a little?'<br />
<br />
'No one I respect more than the Hero King himself. He's the reason I train, so I gotta make sure I live up to that.'<br />
<br />
'If all that can be said of me is that I'm the best up and comer, then I still got a lot of work to do.'<br />
<br />
'Your weapon is part of who you are, and you FORGOT it?! You gotta take better care of yourself, man!'<br />
<br />
'Hey, Up for some training?'<br />
<br />
====Angela====<br />
'I dunno, is it just me, or are we totally soulmates? ...On the battlefield, I mean!'<br />
<br />
'I feel like you're doing all the heavy lifting in this relationship. If you need me to do something, all you gotta do is ask, okay?'<br />
<br />
'We all have trials we gotta face someday. That's just life. You just gotta remember 'we' includes you, too.'<br />
<br />
'I don't really have anything to say at the moment. Okay, actually, wait. Do I talk too much? I feel I've been talking, like, A LOT.'<br />
<br />
'So much about this place is just... I dunno... 'different'. Not at all like Altena, that's for sure.'<br />
<br />
'You know I'm a princess, right? I'm not the type to flaunt their status, but would it kill you to let me get my way every once in a while?'<br />
<br />
'You would not believe how amazing it felt to finally use magic. Living up to all those expectations? Oh yeah. That's the stuff.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, there was this whole this with the Crimson Wizard. I mean, there's not much to say, but you-know-who is still not quite over it.'<br />
<br />
'Go study magic? Nah, I mean, you're welcome to, but no that José's not around, a girls gotta go out and live her life, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You look like you're having a good day. What's up?'<br />
<br />
====Kevin====<br />
'Mmm... You smell just like Karl smell. It the good person smell! we now friends forever!'<br />
<br />
'Karl is my best friend! Very special to me. You, also very special friend! I you need help, ask me! I help! Always!'<br />
<br />
'I HATE sitting around! I want to go on adventure! ...I always ready for adventure...'<br />
<br />
'During night time, Beastmen go through change. We get very strong, but some beastman also get very mean. I say, be careful around beastmen at night.'<br />
<br />
'Ludgar...he does not like humans very much. But, many beastman DO like humans. Like me, I am a beastman that like human.'<br />
<br />
'I very bad at puzzles, so not very fan of dungeons. I more like forests and outside. Fewer puzzle.'<br />
<br />
'Mmmm I smell very delicious smell coming from...that way! Do you want to come with?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, good to see you again! Now, this time? We spar, yes? You spar?'<br />
<br />
'I...not a good talker. But talking with you...I like.'<br />
<br />
====Charlotte====<br />
'So gwad to have a fwiend wike you. With Mik not awound, you make the pewfect wackey!'<br />
<br />
'We've become such gweat fwiends, haven't we? I'd say if thewe was such a thing as a fwiend wevew we'd be at 'fwee massages', don't you think?'<br />
<br />
'Good thing you got me awound, someone with weal stweet smawts! Pwincesses like Wiesz and Angewa aw so cwuwess they couldn't even give ya diwections!'<br />
<br />
'Oh! Just who I was wooking fow! Now, I need you to go out and get me a few things. Now, off you go!'<br />
<br />
'Going to new pwaces is weawwy weawwy fun! So, next time we go out. Take me somepwace new!'<br />
<br />
'Twaining? Aww that's good fow is getting tiwed! Duwan and Kevin, it's aww they evew tawk about. I just don't get the appeaw.'<br />
<br />
'Ugh! Evewyone is tweating me wike I'm a wittwe kid! Evewyone except Hawkeye, that is. You shouwd weawn fwom him!'<br />
<br />
'You evew have a nap you think onwy lasted fow a few houws, onwy to find out it was mowe wike 24? ...Yeah...me neithew...'<br />
<br />

<br />
'Hey, what awe you up to? If it's something fun, Chawwotte wants in!'<br />
<br />
====Hawkeye====<br />
'Just let Hawkeye here protect you, okay? ...What? I'm being serious!'<br />
<br />
'What was that? Come on! We're friends! No need to act all polite.'<br />
<br />
'Sure do love talkin' to you. I could do it all day, in fact.'<br />
<br />
'You gotta be aware of your surroundings out there. Nothin' more dangerous than mother nature herself.'<br />
<br />
'Teach you how to be a thief? Kid, you can't learn to be a thief, go gotta go out there and steal yourself.'<br />
<br />
'There's more to thievin' than stealing you know. You gotta be a master of disguise as well. It's a lot of work!'<br />
<br />
'You think knife-work like this is easy? The Nevarl style is harder than it looks!'<br />
<br />
'Never let a target get away. That's the thief's code.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you on break too? Can't be all business all the time, am I right?'<br />
<br />
====Riesz====<br />
'I feel my heart is at peace when you are near. You are a rare one, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'Perhaps if my journey had included you, it may have been a lot more fun.'<br />
<br />
'I'm afraid I still quite do not know the lay of the land just yet. Do you mind showing me around?'<br />
<br />
'I often think upon the beauty of my home, Laurent. Perhaps, it is because I have found its equal?'<br />
<br />
'I began by quest as a girl alone, but now... Fate has a strange way of weaving its web, does it not?'<br />
<br />
'What do I want? Heh... The simple act of asking is more than enough for me.'<br />
<br />
'One must properly prepare for an adventure! If you need any help buying items, I'm more than happy to help!'<br />
<br />
'My quest to find my brother was filled with great trials. T'was a lonely road indeed...'<br />
<br />
'My brother is very, very special to me.'<br />
<br />
'Well, well. You look to be in good spirits! Care for a quick joust?'<br />
<br />
====Bil====<br />
'I would teach you my greatest technique if you so asked.'<br />
<br />
'Why not add the power of darkness to your arsenal? Just think of the possibilities.'<br />
<br />
'Flashy magic and giant swords are unnecessary when it comes to burying your target.'<br />
<br />
'The way of the ninja has no shortcuts!'<br />
<br />
'There are some skills that can only be done when two ninjas are uniquely in tune with one another. Something you will never be.'<br />
<br />
'Have you ever thought of becoming a ninja? I think you'd be pretty good at it.'<br />
<br />
'Your skills in stealth are impressive indeed. Might even be better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You better be ready to pay up if you need our services. We don't work for cheap.'<br />
<br />
'Looks like you found me... Not bad.'<br />
<br />
====Ben====<br />
'You know what? From now on, all your ninja related needs are half off. I call it the shinobi sidekick discount!'<br />
<br />
'As a token from our friendship, I bethroth onto you this Nevarl ninja garb... Mm? You don't want it?'<br />
<br />
'Our skills take countless hours of practice to master. You can't just learn them overnight.'<br />
<br />
'One might find peace with the comfort this place provides, but to a Nevarl ninja, comfort only breeds anxiety.'<br />
<br />
'The best information is worth it weight in gold.'<br />
<br />
'I won't reveal my identity for no good reason...'<br />
<br />
'A ninja must forgo the light and live in shadow. It is our way. The mission always comes first.'<br />
<br />
'Surely this is fate. Help us and I'll teach you my skills.'<br />
<br />
====Ludgar====<br />
'Perhaps it was plain jealousy... the more I see you all, the clearer it becomes.'<br />
<br />
'When I eventually wear the crown, I will be sure to keep you in my inner circle.'<br />
<br />
'Kevin if my rival, but one day I will... No, let's not.'<br />
<br />
'I cannot express in words the joy I felt when I was named leader...'<br />
<br />
'You need not only power, but fear to break a foe's spirits.'<br />
<br />
====Crimson Wizard====<br />
'Sometimes I ponder on the possibility of a life different from the one I chose. Hm...'<br />
<br />
'I have traveled this road for so long, yet I feel no closer to the end than since I had began. Power....what am I missing?'<br />
<br />
'I trust too deeply in the power of dark magic, is it? Hmph. How long has it been since anyone has lectured me?'<br />
<br />
'This magic will someday... You know what, never mind.'<br />
<br />
'You are no average minion, indeed.'<br />
<br />
'You look almost ready to learn about the dark arts... What say you?'<br />
<br />
'Teach you magic? Hmph. I doubt you could handle it.'<br />
<br />
'Wicked purpose? Mere propaganda. What is wicked to some is virtue to others.'<br />
<br />
====Isabella====<br />
'Say, won't you help me revive the Dark Majesty? He is my everything, you see...'<br />
<br />
'So, you've defeated a benevodon, have you? Hm, there may be more to you than meets the eye.'<br />
<br />
'You want power too, yes? Then join me, and I shall give you the power of darkness!'<br />
<br />
'Love? Ha, I am not so naive... It is power I need. Without it, there is nothing I can protect!'<br />
<br />
'It is not that I am eager to throw my life away, but rather...I am ready to give it up if it will make him happy...'<br />
<br />
'Isabella... Belladonna... Call me what you like as it makes no difference to me.'<br />
<br />
'Tell me, is that vexatious lad here as well?'<br />
<br />
'Belladonna...? Ah, a name familiar to me indeed...'<br />
<br />
'I will do anything to see the Dark Majesty's return. Anything...'<br />
<br />
'I have sworn my loyalty to the Dark Majesty...'<br />
<br />
====Goremand====<br />
'And what are you looking at, hm? Watch it or I'll put you in my belly!'<br />
<br />
'You won't get in the way of my next meal! Understand?'<br />
<br />
'I'm too busy to fool with little brats like you. Now scram!'<br />
<br />
'I'm still feeling full from my last feast! Hee hee hee!'<br />
<br />
'Nothing like a tasty soul to sooth my appetite!'<br />
<br />
'Do not forget I am a wizard who serves the Masked Mage!'<br />
<br />
'Hee hee hee! Call on me if you're in need of my service in you journey. I'm quite good at disposal the fallen!'<br />
<br />
'Is there anyone you're looking to get rid of? For I know just who can help...in exchange for their soul.'<br />
<br />
'Oooh! If only I could get my hands on the Mana Sword!'<br />
<br />
'I do enjoy a place full of LIFE, you see... And this one is as lively as they come! Hee hee!'<br />
<br />
====Lekius====<br />
'Don't get me wrong. I love Illusia, but this place is pretty great, too.'<br />
<br />
'If I'm to protect the people of Illusia I've got to get a lot stronger than I am now.'<br />
<br />
'If you need my help, just say the word.'<br />
<br />
'Are there are guardian beasts in this world too?'<br />
<br />
'You seem to know your way on a battlefield... Ever try going long range?'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Keldy? I figured you'd be together.'<br />
<br />
'Hey, what's your Def Flora?'<br />
<br />
'This place is pretty great, don't you agree?'<br />
<br />
'If you need an archer, you won't find one better than me!'<br />
<br />
'You look well!'<br />
<br />
====Keldric====<br />
'The people here are so warm and friendly...almost as much as the people in Illusia!'<br />
<br />
'A blacksmith named Watts? The king of Ishe shares the name.'<br />
<br />
'Call on me for anything, okay? I'll be there to help!'<br />
<br />
'This feather is from a guardian beast. Name was Flammie, I think?'<br />
<br />
'No Tree Folk here, but this place has all sorts of folks!'<br />
<br />
'What's the deal with the vines? Gonna be honest. I have no idea.'<br />
<br />
'Buju's run off again! I should probably go catch him, eh?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, you wanna come play with me and Faye?'<br />
<br />
'Hm? Is there something on my face?'<br />
<br />
'Hey, how's it going?'<br />
<br />
====Shiloh====<br />
'I left Bud and Lisa to keep watch back home, but I wonder how they're doing...'<br />
<br />
'We'd better go and tell tell Li'l Cactus what we got up to today.'<br />
<br />
'These coins? Yeah, I think they look neat too! And they're etched with images of elemental spirits, see?'<br />
<br />
'I can play a pretty mean harp, you know. No fooling!'<br />
<br />
'So do you have a workshop around here? Let me know and I'll get our gear tempered to tip-top shape!'<br />
<br />
'I bet the orchard's bearing fruit right about now...'<br />
<br />
'Something about this place just puts me at ease. As if I were home in my own village.'<br />
<br />
'I'm pretty good at mastering all sorts of weapons in little to no time.'<br />
<br />
'Being swift and nimble has always come easy for me.'<br />
<br />
'Ever heard of artifacts? They can look just like about anything!'<br />
<br />
====Serafina====<br />
'Duba Duda Dubba... Just practicing my dudbear. Ever heard of it?'<br />
<br />
'There are times when we need the strength to shield the ones most dear to us.'<br />
<br />
'I'm no stranger to hard work. I've raised some pets that were literal monsters, tended and orchard, and even did a little bit of weapon tempering. All on my own, too!'<br />
<br />
'Where I come from, we've got penguins for pirates! Would you believe it?'<br />
<br />
'I've seen a few familiar faces around here already! I think I'm gonna like it here.'<br />
<br />
'Do you come home to this place? It's a wonderful thing, don't you think? Having a place to come home to.'<br />
<br />
'Say, have you seen Shiloh around?'<br />
<br />
'Meeting all sorts of folks on your journey will be the key to your strength. I just know it!'<br />
<br />
'I've had my fair share of adventures, too, journeying all over. So I know a thing or two about wielding a weapon.'<br />
<br />
'You know, the feel of this place reminds me so much of home. I just can't help but feel at ease here.'<br />
<br />
====Niccolo====<br />
'If there's anything you want, I'll find it for you!'<br />
<br />
'If only I could be reborn into a world of cats and rabbits.'<br />
<br />
'It's too dangerous for folks like us to wander outside town.'<br />
<br />
'I bought all sorts of things so it's about time to sell it off.'<br />
<br />
'The secret to good business it being sincere. Take it from me.'<br />
<br />
'Business flourishes wherever I go!'<br />
<br />
'Smile! Let the world know you're happy!'<br />
<br />
'Let me know if there's anything you might want!'<br />
<br />
'I'd just like to keep on adventuring as I always have, but now, with you!'<br />
<br />
'Good seeing you again!'<br />
<br />
====Sierra====<br />
'I promise here and now to protect you with all I have. For this too, is my duty.'<br />
<br />
'I hope one day you have the honor of meeting Vadise. I am almost certain he will take a liking to you.'<br />
<br />
'You remind me of my brother. And I assure you, that is no compliment.'<br />
<br />
'Vadise is my master and my friend. To be in his service fills me with great pride.'<br />
<br />
'A dragoon is a protector of their master dragon. It is a bond unlike any other.'<br />
<br />
'If you feel my strength is any of use, you need only just call.'<br />
<br />
'I fight to preserve order. Do you?'<br />
<br />
'I am a dragoon and I serve only my master, Vadise.'<br />
<br />
'You look healthy.'<br />
<br />
====Larc====<br />
'You know, I feel I can overcome even a thousand-year curse.'<br />
<br />
'Once the curse breaks, you ask? I want to see my sister again.'<br />
<br />
'I know what I've done was wrong.But I have no regrets.'<br />
<br />
'Yeah, Sierra's my sister. Tough I can't say I've been the best brother...'<br />
<br />
'The laws of the dragoon must be obeyed. No matter what.'<br />
<br />
'The name 'Larc The Conqueror' brings back memories.'<br />
<br />
'Come with me to the underworld and... you know what, forget I said anything.'<br />
<br />
'I'll lose my edge hanging around a place like this.'<br />
<br />
'Have you come to invite me on an adventure?'<br />
<br />
'What are you up to today?'<br />
<br />
====Lady Blackpearl====<br />
'Seeing you reminds me of an old friend. You're similar in ways.'<br />
<br />
'Is there some you are bound to protect? If so, stay with them always. That is where I failed.'<br />
<br />
'Those who cry for Jumi turn to stone. You'd best be careful.'<br />
<br />
'Every Jumi's core is different. Mine is black pearl, Elazul's is Lapis Lazuli.'<br />
<br />
'Jumi only die if our core is damaged. There is no natural limit on our lives.'<br />
<br />
'There was once a time long ago when I was a Jumi Knight.'<br />
<br />
'Elazul? Looking for me? Doubt it. Likely it was Pearl.'<br />
<br />
'There's a jewel hunter... Er. Nevermind. Just be sure to keep an eyeone anything you'd rather not have stolen.'<br />
<br />
'Florina... I wonder where you are right now...'<br />
<br />
'You look well. As for me, I'm much the same.'<br />
<br />
====Elazul====<br />
'You hurt Pearl and you're dead. Got it?'<br />
<br />
'Are there Jumi in this town? Better to train now before it's too late. You've got someone to protect after all, don't you?'<br />
<br />
'Don't feel like you gotta shoulder all this on your own. We're all here for you.'<br />
<br />
'Knights need only bonds to one guardian. That's Pearl for me.'<br />
<br />
'The Jumi have knights and guardians. Knights protect guardians, and guardians can heal knights with their tears... Or so I hear.'<br />
<br />
'Me? I'm out there looking for this other Jumi I know...'<br />
<br />
'You always so busy, you know? Is, uh, whatever it is you got going on really all that important?'<br />
<br />
'I you need any help, all you gotta do is ask. All right?'<br />
<br />
'Wouldn't hurt to invite me out to one of your adventures very once in a while, you know? I'm standing right here.'<br />
<br />
'You seem chipper. Me? Same old same old.'<br />
<br />
====Escad====<br />
'You have a heart of justice. I can tell!'<br />
<br />
'Something's off about you. I get the feeling you'll trip me up if I'm not careful. But for now, I'll take you at your word.'<br />
<br />
'I'll admit you're starting to grow on me. Maybe I'll keep you company on this journey a little longer.'<br />
<br />
'Is there someone you want to protect? For me, I must defend Matilda. And for that reason, I will defeat Irwin!'<br />
<br />
'Will you stand for justice with me? Or be like Daena, an enemy to humans an protecting demons?'<br />
<br />
'My master once told me that you decide your destiny. There is no victory for those who dend their will.'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting all sorts of folks around here. Is your fluffy friend an elemental spirit? If it's a demon... let's just say I don't take too kindly to them.'<br />
<br />
'Scared of death? Ha. I have no fear of dying.'<br />
<br />
'No one will stop me from fulfilling my destiny.'<br />
<br />
'Did you want something? I don't mind, as long as you stay out of my way.'<br />
<br />
====Elle====<br />
'Being here makes me want to sing to my heart's content! And you wouldn't mind, would you?'<br />
<br />
'I'm not a fan of fighting, but I can use magic if I must!'<br />
<br />
'It hurts to admit it. But my voice would would sink ships into the sea...'<br />
<br />
'Would you mind taking me along one of you adventures every now and then?'<br />
<br />
'I'm quite good with musical instruments, too!'<br />
<br />
'Flameshe and Monique are two of my good friends!'<br />
<br />
'I'm a siren, you know! I can fly through the sky!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if Gilbert is around...'<br />
<br />
'I want to go and see the world. Perhaps little by little tough, since it's a bit daunting.'<br />
<br />
'I really love to sing, you see...'<br />
<br />
====Sandra====<br />
'If only I or even Florina had someone like you in the Bejeweled City... Never mind. That's long passed now.'<br />
<br />
'Survival of the fittest–or rather, the strongest–is the very law of nature, you know.'<br />
<br />
'You must protect those who are important to you, even if it means hurting someone else. You understand, right?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, have you come to capture me? Do me a favor and let me go for today!'<br />
<br />
'Be sure to lock up when you go out. Thieves won't pass up their chance if they find one.'<br />
<br />
'...What's gotten you so excited? Did you find a tasty mark to target perhaps?'<br />
<br />
'You have a Jumi scent about you...'<br />
<br />
'What a curious town! And yet something about this place feels nostalgic.'<br />
<br />
'You should invite me along once in a while when you go, alright?'<br />
<br />
'You're looking well.'<br />
<br />
====Ferrik====<br />
'I'm gonna keep training till I become the greatest swordsman of all time!'<br />
<br />
'You can leave the fighting to me, all right? My skills with the sword are second to none.'<br />
<br />
'Heard to downed a big one all by yourself. Did you really? I kinda find that hard to believe.'<br />
<br />
'Dudbears can go anywhere in the world they want with just a shovel. Can you imagine that? I'm kinda jealous, actually.'<br />
<br />
'Bet you didn't know I can play the harmonica, did ya? Yup. Wandere taught me how.'<br />
<br />
'I should probably train with other weapons. Don't wanna become a one trick pony, you know?'<br />
<br />
'Seamoon sure is something, you know? A real role model!'<br />
<br />
'Off for some monster hunting? Aw man, I wanna go!'<br />
<br />
'How bout we do some training later? Could always use for some more practice with the sword, you know?'<br />
<br />
====Wanderer====<br />
'Ever heard of an island called Illusia? I love it there, and I'd say I love being here almost just the same.'<br />
<br />
'I'm a bit of an oddball in the Niccolo community. Or so I've been told.'<br />
<br />
'You seem like an experienced adventurer. Mind if I join ya next time?'<br />
<br />
'Don't have a shop, I just wander wherever the wind takes me.'<br />
<br />
'Now this here harmonica is very important to me. Lot of sentimental value, you see.'<br />
<br />
'I much prefer going on adventures to merchant work.'<br />
<br />
'Been to a lot of countries in my time. Remember a beautiful one, lush greens all around. And oh, there was one with a castle made entirely out of ice, too.'<br />
<br />
'I am afraid the years have not been the kindest to the ol' stomach region. Used to be solid muscle, now...not so much.'<br />
<br />
'I've traveled the world over, and I've seen lots of places. So I know the good and the bad. And here, it's good.'<br />
<br />
'Surrounded by nature, and perfect weather to boot. Quite the place you got there.'<br />
<br />
====Tamber====<br />
'You know, you have a great voice! How about we do a duet?'<br />
<br />
'I started dancing when I was little. Guess I always knew I was going to grow up to be a dancer!'<br />
<br />
'How about a dance?'<br />
<br />
'Know any places around here to pick medicinal herbs?'<br />
<br />
'If you're stressing over something, you can talk to me.'<br />
<br />
'I'm great a singing and dancing. A real multi-talent. If you ever wanna learn, let me know!'<br />
<br />
'If you're in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help. Okay?'<br />
<br />
'Gotta keep up the morning exercices, right?'<br />
<br />
'You've been going a it pretty hard lately. Let me help!'<br />
<br />
'I see you're in high spirits today!'<br />
<br />
====Aria====<br />
'The Mana Sword? Could it be you possess a brilliant soul too?'<br />
<br />
'Say, is your floating friend a doll? Seems pretty haughty for one though. Did you use a technique for transferring its soul?'<br />
<br />
'Angels and demons can sense the voices of souls.'<br />
<br />
'Excuse me, do you know how I can reach the celestial land?'<br />
<br />
'Is your world like mine? A world that someone created? I knew it... We're just alike!'<br />
<br />
'Being here brings me comfort. And in that case, maybe I don't need to go home...'<br />
<br />
'Just call me if you need any help! I'll fly off in a flash!'<br />
<br />
'I wonder if he made it here too... We were one for so long, it still takes some getting used to now.'<br />
<br />
'I can only sense the voice of a soul when I need to. It's odd though, because I can never sense yours...'<br />
<br />
'I'm meeting people of all sorts here–a lot like the Forsaken City!'<br />
<br />
====Van====<br />
'I used to think Cacao was the only one. But you just might have a brilliant soul too!'<br />
<br />
'You're a good kid. A lot like someone I know...'<br />
<br />
'I searched for the Mana Sword too once, you know! But back then, we were always together...'<br />
<br />
'I can't sense the voice of your soul, but I wonder if an angel could.'<br />
<br />
'In the mortal world, demons aren't one with angels, so my powers get weakened.'<br />
<br />
'Neither a celestial nor a mortal place, but it's not bad here. I'm even starting to like it!'<br />
<br />
'Is your fluffy friend using a technique for transferrng his soul? Is that how he gets about?'<br />
<br />
'I've been running into all kinds of people here. But how about some demons like me?'<br />
<br />
'Searching for the Mana Sword, huh? Can't be the same one we're looking for, can it?'<br />
<br />
'Hey! Would ya know the way back to the celestial land from here?'<br />
<br />

<div>This is a list of allusions from ''Final Fantasy Adventure''.<br />
<br />
==''Seiken Densetsu: the Emergence of Excalibur''==<br />

According to a translated [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Hiromichi_Tanaka Hiromichi Tanaka] interview, Secret of Mana was originally developed as a Final Fantasy title but ended up diverging so much from the other previous installments that it was initially given the name Chrono Trigger. The three games ended up being released as Final Fantasy IV, Secret of Mana, & Chrono Trigger, but some ideas & concepts originally intended for Secret of Mana ended up in the 1995 game. Despite this, some similarities can be observed in both games.<br />
*The male protagonists from both games have similar features. Both [[Randi]] and [Crono] sport spiky hair and wear baggy pants.<br />
*In similar vein, both [[Primm]] and [Marle] wear their blonde hair in a ponytail and have harem pants. Both hail from an upper-class family and are in conflict with their upbringing.<br />
*Both games have an ancient fortress ([[Mana Fortress]] & Ocean Palace) that were smash by a legendary weapon ([[Mana Sword]] & the Masamune).<br />

According to a translated [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Hiromichi_Tanaka Hiromichi Tanaka] interview, Secret of Mana was originally developed as a Final Fantasy title but ended up diverging so much from the other previous installments that it was initially given the name Chrono Trigger. The three games ended up being released as Final Fantasy IV, Secret of Mana, & Chrono Trigger, but some ideas & concepts originally intended for Secret of Mana ended up in the 1995 game. Despite this, some similarities can be observed in both games.<br />
*The male protagonists from both games have similar features. Both [[Randi]] and [Crono] sport spiky hair and wear baggy pants.<br />

<br />
==Final Fantasy Adventure==<br />

**[[Walruskers]] were enemies in the first installment, whereas they became a friendly race hailing from the [[Ice Country]] in Secret of Mana.<br />
**The [[Snowman (status)|Snowman]] status effect in Secret of Mana was also an enemy found in the [[Frozen Waste]].<br />
**While the [[Shadow Zero (Adventures of Mana)|Shadow Zero]] doesn’t reappear as an enemy in the game, it can be summoned by casting a level 8 [[Evil Gate]] spell. The little creature can also appear while opening a [[Treasure chest|chest]] although this is a very rare occurrence. <br />
<br />
<br />
*The [[Moogles]] reappear from Final Fantasy Adventure, this time with many derivatives.<br />
** A race of [[Moogles]] hails from the [[Upper Land]].<br />

<br />
*A [[Veedio]] in [[Mandala]] references the kingdom of [[Lorimar (Adventures of Mana)|Lorimar]] from the previous game.<br />
<br />
==Final Fantasy series==<br />
*Moogles speak by using the signature cry of “Kupo”.<br />
<br />
==Chrono Trigger==<br />
According to a translated [Hiromichi Tanaka] interview, Secret of Mana was originally developed as a Final Fantasy title but ended up diverging so much from the other previous installments that it was initially given the name Chrono Trigger. The three games ended up being released as Final Fantasy IV, Secret of Mana, & Chrono Trigger, but some ideas & concepts originally intended for Secret of Mana ended up in the 1995 game. Despite this, some similarities can be observed in both games.<br />
*The male protagonists from both games have similar features. Both [[Randi]] and [Crono] sport spiky hair and wear baggy pants.<br />
*In similar vein, both [[Primm]] and [Marle] wear their blonde hair in a ponytail and have harem pants. Both hail from an upper-class family and are in conflict with their upbringing.<br />
*Both games have an ancient fortress ([[Mana Fortress]] & Ocean Palace) that were smash by a legendary weapon ([[Mana Sword]] & the Masamune).<br />
*Said structures are resurrected late in the game and pose a serious threat to the world.<br />
<br />
==Street Fighter==<br />
*The level 8 glove [[Charge attack]] bears a strong resemblance to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadouken Hadouken] move from the series.<br />
<br />
==Real World==<br />
===Anime & Manga===<br />
*The [[Scorpion Boss]] and her minions resemble [[w:c:timebokan:Doronjo|Doronjo]] and [[w:c:timebokan:Boyacky Butsukusa|Boyacky]], two of the antagonists from ''[[w:c:timebokan:Yatterman (1977)|Yatterman]]''.<br />
*The [[Scorpion Army]] are similar to [[community:c:pokemon:Team Rocket#Anime|Team Rocket]] from the Pokemon franchise (specifically Jessie, James and Meowth) as they’re more of an incompetent nuisance as opposed to an actual threat.<br />
<br />
===Films & TV Shows===<br />
* [[Flammie (Secret of Mana)|Flammie]] was heavily inspired by Falcor from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story.<br />
*[[Pecard]] is a reference to Captain Jean-Luc Picard from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation Star Trek: The Next Generation].<br />
<br />
===Mythology & Folklore===<br />
*Randi pulling out the sword is a nod to the Arthurian legend in which Arthur pulls a sword.<br />
*The idea of a continent with advanced technology and civilization that was sunk beneath the ocean when the people did something to anger the gods (in this case, the creation of the Mana Fortress) is very similar to the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis.<br />
*The four imperial generals can reference the Buddhist concept of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Heavenly_Kings Four Heavenly Kings].<br />
*The Japanese sprite of the [[Earth Slide]] spell is completely different from the North American and PAL regions, depicting a catfish instead of an exploding rock. In Japanese folklore, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namazu Namazu] is a giant catfish that can create powerful earthquakes.<br />
*[[Karon]]’s name & purpose in the game is an obvious reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon Charon] from Greek mythology.<br />
*[[Santa]] & [[Rudolph]] are both stemming from Christmas folklore.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
*One of the [[Veedios]] inside [[Mandala]] temple references [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln Abe Lincoln] & the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy! Jeopardy!] game show. This easter egg is only present in the English localization.<br />
*Players can view two strange faces hidden on the world map while riding Flammie. One is in the Northeast corner in the middle of the ocean and appears as a single black pixel on the full map of the world. The other is nestled in the mountains to the south of Empire [[Southtown]]. Some people call these Moai heads, but I think they are more likely to have been based on the "Face on Mars" originally photgraphed by Viking Orbiter 1.<br />
*The [[Zombie (Secret of Mana)|Zombie]] and [[Ghoul (Secret of Mana)|Ghoul]] enemies do what seems to be the Moon Walk while casting spells. This is a reference to [[Michael Jackson]].<br />
<br />
==HD Remake==<br />
The HD remake introduced many visual easter eggs from previous installments.<br />
<br />
===[[Adventures of Mana]]===<br />
*Various portraits of the game’s main characters can be found in relevant homes.<br />
**A portrait of [[Sumo]] can be found in the basement of [[Potos Elder]]'s house.<br />
**A portrait of [[Fuji]] can be found in [[Pamaela]]'s house in [[Pandora]].<br />
**A portrait of [[Bogard]] and [[Fuji's Mother]] can be found in the reception room in the castle of Pandora.<br />
**A portrait of [[Marcie]] can be found in the [[Cannon Man]]'s house in [[Kippo Village]]. This is befitting the fact that in the original [[Final Fantasy Adventure]] game, Marcie was created by [[Dr. Bowow]] which in turn is a direct ispiration for the Cannon Man character.<br />
<br />
===[[Trials of Mana]]===<br />
*[[Vuscav]]'s flag can be found on top of the central hut of [[Turtle Shell Isle]].<br />
*[[Duran]]'s ultimate weapon for his [[Paladin (Trials of Mana)|Paladin]] class, the [[Brave Blade]] can be found hanging on a wall in the King's room in the [[Republic of Tasnica]].<br />

<div>This is a list of allusions from Secret of Mana.<br />
<br />
==Final Fantasy Adventure==<br />
Numerous concepts are reused from the first [[Mana (series)|Mana]] entry.<br />
*Some characters take their inspiration from the first game.<br />
** [[Gemma|Jema]]’s name clearly references [[Bogard]] as a [[Gemma Knight]]. Both are older & seasoned warriors who mentor the protagonist during the story.<br />
** [[Thanatos]] and [[Julius]] are both gifted magicians who use their position as advisers to usurp the leader of an empire for personal gains.<br />
** [[Emperor Vandole]] takes its name and role from the [[Vandole Empire]].<br />
** [[Watts]] makes a comeback and sells weapons just like in the previous installment.<br />
** The King of [[Pandora]] and [[King Lorimar]] are both rulers of a kingdom cursed by a monster the player needs to defeat in order to lift the blight.<br />
** The [[Cannon Brothers]] are very similar to [[The Professor]] in both looks & mannerism.<br />
** Dancing merchants dressed in middle-eastern attire appears in both games.<br />
<br />
*Several enemies are reprised from Final Fantasy Adventure, often with a new name in the English localization. Some a repurposed as status effects or non-player characters.<br />
**[[Fanha]]’s boss form [[Hexas (Secret of Mana)|Hexas]] is a nod to [[Marilith (Adventures of Mana)|Kary]].<br />
**The [[Mega Xorn (Adventures of Mana)|Mega Xorn]] enemy was retooled as a [[Aegagropilon (Secret of Mana)|boss]].<br />
**[[Walruskers]] were enemies in the first installment, whereas they became a friendly race hailing from the [[Ice Country]] in Secret of Mana.<br />
**The [[Snowman (status)|Snowman]] status effect in Secret of Mana was also an enemy found in the [[Frozen Waste]].<br />
**While the [[Shadow Zero (Adventures of Mana)|Shadow Zero]] doesn’t reappear as an enemy in the game, it can be summoned by casting a level 8 [[Evil Gate]] spell. The little creature can also appear while opening a [[Treasure chest|chest]] although this is a very rare occurrence. <br />
<br />
<br />
*The [[Moogles]] reappear from Final Fantasy Adventure, this time with many derivatives.<br />
** A race of [[Moogles]] hails from the [[Upper Land]].<br />
** The [[Moogle (status)|Moogle]] status condition can be inflicted on party members by enemies.<br />
** The [[Moogle Belt]] is a key item that transforms the player characters into Moogles and back.<br />
** The [[Balloon]] [[Jinn|Sylphid]] spell can be upgraded to Level 8, from which the usual red balloon will be replaced by a Moogle head.<br />
** [[Moogle Claw]] is a level 3 glove-type weapon typically obtained at the [[Moogle Village]].<br />
** In the HD remake version, players who pre-ordered the digital game also obtained moogle suits and tiger suits for the party.<br />
<br />
*A [[Veedio]] in [[Mandala]] references the kingdom of [[Lorimar (Adventures of Mana)|Lorimar]] from the previous game.<br />
<br />
==Final Fantasy series==<br />
*Moogles speak by using the signature cry of “Kupo”.<br />
<br />
==Chrono Trigger==<br />
According to a translated [Hiromichi Tanaka] interview, Secret of Mana was originally developed as a Final Fantasy title but ended up diverging so much from the other previous installments that it was initially given the name Chrono Trigger. The three games ended up being released as Final Fantasy IV, Secret of Mana, & Chrono Trigger, but some ideas & concepts originally intended for Secret of Mana ended up in the 1995 game. Despite this, some similarities can be observed in both games.<br />
*The male protagonists from both games have similar features. Both [[Randi]] and [Crono] sport spiky hair and wear baggy pants.<br />
*In similar vein, both [[Primm]] and [Marle] wear their blonde hair in a ponytail and have harem pants. Both hail from an upper-class family and are in conflict with their upbringing.<br />
*Both games have an ancient fortress ([[Mana Fortress]] & Ocean Palace) that were smash by a legendary weapon ([[Mana Sword]] & the Masamune).<br />
*Said structures are resurrected late in the game and pose a serious threat to the world.<br />
<br />
==Street Fighter==<br />
*The level 8 glove [[Charge attack]] bears a strong resemblance to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadouken Hadouken] move from the series.<br />
<br />
==Real World==<br />
===Anime & Manga===<br />
*The [[Scorpion Boss]] and her minions resemble [[w:c:timebokan:Doronjo|Doronjo]] and [[w:c:timebokan:Boyacky Butsukusa|Boyacky]], two of the antagonists from ''[[w:c:timebokan:Yatterman (1977)|Yatterman]]''.<br />
*The [[Scorpion Army]] are similar to [[community:c:pokemon:Team Rocket#Anime|Team Rocket]] from the Pokemon franchise (specifically Jessie, James and Meowth) as they’re more of an incompetent nuisance as opposed to an actual threat.<br />
<br />
==Films & TV Shows==<br />
* [[Flammie (Secret of Mana)|Flammie]] was heavily inspired by Falcor from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story.<br />
*[[Pecard]] is a reference to Captain Jean-Luc Picard from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation Star Trek: The Next Generation].<br />
<br />
==Mythology & Folklore==<br />
*Randi pulling out the sword is a nod to the Arthurian legend in which Arthur pulls a sword.<br />
*The idea of a continent with advanced technology and civilization that was sunk beneath the ocean when the people did something to anger the gods (in this case, the creation of the Mana Fortress) is very similar to the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis.<br />
*The four imperial generals can reference the Buddhist concept of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Heavenly_Kings Four Heavenly Kings].<br />
*The Japanese sprite of the [[Earth Slide]] spell is completely different from the North American and PAL regions, depicting a catfish instead of an exploding rock. In Japanese folklore, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namazu Namazu] is a giant catfish that can create powerful earthquakes.<br />
*[[Karon]]’s name & purpose in the game is an obvious reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon] from Greek mythology.<br />
*[[Santa]] & [[Rudolph]] are both stemming from Christmas folklore.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
*One of the [[Veedios]] inside [[Mandala]] temple references [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln Abe Lincoln] & the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy! Jeopardy!] game show. This easter egg is only present in the English localization.<br />
*Players can view two strange faces hidden on the world map while riding Flammie. One is in the Northeast corner in the middle of the ocean and appears as a single black pixel on the full map of the world. The other is nestled in the mountains to the south of Empire [[Southtown]]. Some people call these Moai heads, but I think they are more likely to have been based on the "Face on Mars" originally photgraphed by Viking Orbiter 1.<br />
*The [[Zombie (Secret of Mana)|Zombie]] and [[Ghoul (Secret of Mana)|Ghoul]] enemies do what seems to be the Moon Walk while casting spells. This is a reference to [Michael Jackson].<br />
<br />
==HD Remake==<br />
The HD remake introduced many visual easter eggs from previous installments.<br />
<br />

**A portrait of [[Bogard]] and [[Fuji's Mother]] can be found in the reception room in the castle of Pandora.<br />
**A portrait of [[Marcie]] can be found in the [[Cannon Man]]'s house in [[Kippo Village]]. This is befitting the fact that in the original [[Final Fantasy Adventure]] game, Marcie was created by [[Dr. Bowow]] which in turn is a direct ispiration for the Cannon Man character.<br />
<br />
===[[Trials of Mana]]===<br />
*[[Vuscav]]'s flag can be found on top of the central hut of [[Turtle Shell Isle]].<br />
*[[Duran]]'s ultimate weapon for his [[Paladin (Trials of Mana)|Paladin]] class, the [[Brave Blade]] can be found hanging on a wall in the King's room in the [[Republic of Tasnica]].<br />
<br />

*A portrait of [[Pearl]] can be found at [[Gold City]] shop.<br />
*[[Li'l Cactus]]' pot can be found at the inn in [[Kakkara]].<br />
*The [[Sword of Fate]] obtained from the [[Teardrop Crystal]] quest by choosing Pearl is found hanging on a wall in [[Watts]]'s forge in [[Dwarf Village]].<br />
<br />
===[[Children of Mana]]===<br />
* During one of the [[Inn Cutscenes]], [[Popoi]] mentions that they have found a rare plant that the showed to his [[Grandpa]]. This is a reference to the [[Lake Flower]] item which description reads as follow: ''A rare flower that blooms in the outer reaches of Star Lake. Believed to grow only in this area, it is highly prized for its medicinal uses.''<br />
* Near the end of the game, the [[Mana Tree]] mentions that ''Soon all the Mana beasts in the world will be transformed into one giant creature.'' The term ''[[Mana Beast]]'' was translated as ''[[Benevodons]]'' in some languages, leading to some speculations linking the ''[[Malevodons]]'' from '''''Children of Mana''''' being the result of such transformation.<br />
<br />
===[[Rise of Mana]]===<br />
*Several Character and monster models were reused from the mobile game, including those of [[Randi]], [[Primm]] & [[Popoi]].<br />
* A plushie of [[Charume]] can be found at the inn in [[Todo Village]].<br />
* A portrait of [[Rein]] & [[Van]] can be found at the inn in [[Mandala]].<br />

[[Category:Allusions]]</div>Rabillionhttps://wikiofmana.com/w/index.php?title=Land_Creation_System&diff=75075Land Creation System2024-03-19T18:18:18Z<p>Rabillion: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Land Creation System''' is an important game mechanic in ''[[Legend of Mana]]''. It is mainly used to create a unique landscape for the player to experience in every new game.<br />
<br />
{{See Also|Artifacts|Lands}}<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
''Legend of Mana'' starts out with an empty World Map and introduces the player to its Land creation mechanic by first placing a [[Mailbox]] [[Artifact]] on a specific spot, turning it into the hero's [[Home]], effectively creating their first [[Land]]. With 26 Artifacts to place on a 6x6 World Map grid, the game offers a vast amount of possible combinations in regards to land disposition.<br />
<br />
==Limitations==<br />
By placing artifacts on the World Map, players can influence several metrics depending on which placement they choose from and for which land. Because of this, creating a Land on a certain spot can make certain parameters unaccessible and/or unlock others. Here is what can Land creation affect in the game, making some missable:<br />
<br />
* Certain optional [[Quests (Legend of Mana)|quests]], such as [[The Wimpy Thugling]], [[Seeing Double]], and [[Pee-Wee Birdie]].<br />
* Certain Demi-human [[Pets (Legend of Mana)|pets]], such as [[Chobin Hood (Legend of Mana)|Chobin Hood]] or the [[Mad Mallard (Legend of Mana)|Mad Mallard]].<br />
* Certain shop levels.<br />
* The Mana levels for the [[Orchard]] for fastest growing produce.<br />
* Odds of catching certain pet eggs.<br />
<br />
==Land Level==<br />
Each Land has an assigned level representing its difficulty. For dungeons, this is linked with its enemy levels. For towns, however, it influences what items shops will sell.<br />
<br />
Land Level is assigned when artifacts are placed on the World Map and never changes. It is not affected by other Lands placed around it, as Mana Levels is a completely unrelated system. I follows instead this equation:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Land Level = horizontal distance from [[Home]] + Vertical distance from [[Home]] + number of artifacts placed on the map (including this one)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
For example, let's look at this configuration:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
6<br />
5 <br />
4<br />
3 2 1 7<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
# '''[[Home]]'''. It has a Land Level of 1, because it's 0 squares away from Home, and is the 1st artifact placed.<br />
# '''[[Domina]]'''. It always has a Land Level of 3, because it's always 1 square away from Home (in this case, it's 1 horizontal spaces + 0 vertical space) and is the 2nd artifact placed.<br />
# '''[[Mekiv Caverns]]'''. This land has a level of 5 (0 vertical + 2 horizontal + 3rd artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Luon Highway]]'''. This land has a level of 5 (1 vertical + 0 horizontal + 4th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Jungle (land)|Jungle]]'''. This land has a level of 9 (3 vertical + 1 horizontal + 5th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Gato Grottoes]]'''. This land has a level of 10 (4 vertical + 0 horizontal + 6th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Ulkan Mines]]'''. This land has a level of 8 (0 vertical + 1 horizontal + 7th artifact placed).<br />
<br />
Note that some lands placed later in the game can have a lower enemy level than earlier ones if the former are placed closer to Home. In this example, the Ulkan Mines has a lower level than both the Jungle or Gato Grottoes because it is placed right next to Home.<br />
<br />
==Shop Levels==<br />
As noted previously, Land placement influences its shop level, which can prove invaluable for the player to buy higher ranked materials and equipment.<br />
<br />
There are 6 lands in the game which include shops affected by land level:<br />

<div>'''Land Creation System''' is an important game mechanic in ''[[Legend of Mana]]''. It is mainly used to create a unique landscape for the player to experience in every new game.<br />
<br />
{{See Also|Artifacts|Lands}}<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
''Legend of Mana'' starts out with an empty World Map and introduces the player to its Land creation mechanic by first placing a [[Mailbox]] [[Artifact]] on a specific spot, turning it into the hero's [[Home]], effectively creating their first [[Land]]. With 26 Artifacts to place on a 6x6 World Map grid, the game offers a vast amount of possible combinations in regards to land disposition.<br />
<br />
==Limitations==<br />
By placing artifacts on the World Map, players can influence several metrics depending on which placement they choose from and for which land. Because of this, creating a Land on a certain spot can make certain parameters unaccessible and/or unlock others. Here is what can Land creation affect in the game, making some missable:<br />
<br />
* Certain optional [[Quests (Legend of Mana)|quests]], such as [[The Wimpy Thugling]], [[Seeing Double]], and [[Pee-Wee Birdie]].<br />
* Certain Demi-human [[Pets (Legend of Mana)|pets]], such as [[Chobin Hood (Legend of Mana)|Chobin Hood]] or the [[Mad Mallard (Legend of Mana)|Mad Mallard]].<br />
* Certain shop levels.<br />
* The Mana levels for the [[Orchard]] for fastest growing produce.<br />
* Odds of catching certain pet eggs.<br />
<br />
==Land Level==<br />
Each Land has an assigned level representing its difficulty. For dungeons, this is linked with its enemy levels. For towns, however, it influences what items shops will sell.<br />
<br />
Land Level is assigned when artifacts are placed on the World Map and never changes. It is not affected by other Lands placed around it, as Mana Levels is a completely unrelated system. I follows instead this equation:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Land Level = horizontal distance from [[Home]] + Vertical distance from [[Home]] + number of artifacts placed on the map (including this one)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
For example, let's look at this configuration:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
6<br />
5 <br />
4<br />
3 2 1 7<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
# '''[[Home]]'''. It has a Land Level of 1, because it's 0 squares away from Home, and is the 1st artifact placed.<br />
# '''[[Domina]]'''. It always has a Land Level of 3, because it's always 1 square away from Home (in this case, it's 1 horizontal spaces + 0 vertical space) and is the 2nd artifact placed.<br />
# '''[[Mekiv Caverns]]'''. This land has a level of 5 (0 vertical + 2 horizontal + 3rd artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Luon Highway]]'''. This land has a level of 5 (1 vertical + 0 horizontal + 4th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Jungle (land)|Jungle]]'''. This land has a level of 9 (3 vertical + 1 horizontal + 5th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Gato Grottoes]]'''. This land has a level of 10 (4 vertical + 0 horizontal + 6th artifact placed).<br />
# '''[[Ulkan Mines]]'''. This land has a level of 8 (0 vertical + 1 horizontal + 7th artifact placed).<br />
<br />
Note that some lands placed later in the game can have a lower enemy level than earlier ones if the former are placed closer to Home. In this example, the Ulkan Mines has a lower level than both the Jungle or Gato Grottoes because it is placed right next to Home.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />
===Main Story===<br />
====Jumi Arc====<br />
The [[Jumi]] Arc centers on the eponymous race of bejeweled people being increasingly under the threat of extinction after escaping their home [[Bejeweled City|town]]. The famed [[Sandra|jewel hunter]] roams Fa’Diel stealing their core for undisclosed reasons, adding further aggravation to their existence. Meaniwhile, the Lapis Knight [[Elazul]] tries his best to fulfill his duty to protect his absent-minded guardian [[Pearl]] who has a propensity to get lost. As the story unfolds, Pearl is revealed to play a much larger role in this than previously believed as the jewel hunter’s motives are unveiled. [[Florina]], the lost Clarius of the Jumi, is the key to unravel the mystery surrounding the fate of the jewel people.<br />
====Faerie Arc====<br />
This arc tells the story of three childhood friends whose bonds began to break after the demon [[Irwin]] caused [[Matilda]] to fall in love with him after she resented her role as the future helm of [[Gato Grottoes]]. This forbidden passion led her to age rapidly after Irwin absorbed her elemental powers several years ago. [[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity. At the same time, [[Daena]] tries a more diplomatic approach to find a cure for the friend she considers like a sister. The fate of friends and foes alike lies in the hands of the protagonist.<br />
====Dragoon Arc====<br />
The hero has been summoned to the [[Underworld]] by [[Larc]], beast-warrior and dragoon of [[Drakonis]] who wishes to usurp the power of the [[Mana Stones]] from his mortal enemies and restore himself to his former glory. Teaming with Larc, the hero ventures into each of the three lairs of the dragon guardians to defeat them and harness their power. Larc’s little sister [[Sierra]] tries to reason with her brother by warning him of the consequences of resurrecting the Archdemon of hell, but his older brethren doesn’t seem to care of her concerns. The two of then constantly gets in each other’s way putting the morality of Larc’s actions at stake.<br />
====Tree of Mana Arc====<br />
[[Sproutlings]] are small humanoid leaf people who are said to hold the key to resurrecting the fabled Tree of Mana. Aided by [[Pokiehl]] the Poet of Truth, the hero might be able to harness the power of the Mana Sword and gain access to the [[Tree of Mana (Legend of Mana)|Sanctuary of Mana]].<br />
===Side Stories===<br />
====[[Bud]] & [[Lisa]]’s Arc====<br />
The twin budding mages are causing a raucous in the western side of [[Domina]] by raising a magical pumpkin army to do their bidding. They are initially apprehensive when the protagonist shows up to confront them, but are quickly eager to find shelter at the hero’s [[Home|home]]. Their curious and carefree disposition leads them to various and wacky adventures.<br />
====[[Niccolo]]’s Arc====<br />
This savvy cat merchant has a knack for swindling people and getting into seedy situations. His arrogant and excessive quirks can easily put him into hot water, but he usually manages to get the upper hand with one or two tricks. He loves to ask the protagonist to help him out whenever he feels the need.<br />
====[[Capella]] & [[Diddle]]’s Arc====<br />
This performing duo hangs out in [[Domina]] as their main base. While Capella displays a playful, optimistic attitude, Diddle harbors a much more somber outlook on life. He ends up wandering away from his partner whenever he feels moody, to the point of putting himself in danger.<br />
====Sirens & [[Gilbert]]’s Arc====<br />
Gilbert is a love-struck centaur always on the lookout for potential love interests. Despite easily falling for the first attractive female in sight, he quickly changes his mind once the relationship sours. One particular [[Elle|suitor]] he encounters will catch his attention so much so he will risk his life for her attention.<br />
====[[Pirate Penguins]]’ Arc====<br />
This story follows the miscellaneous adventures of [[Cap’n Tusk]] and his penguin crew to find hidden treasures buried in land and on sea. His squadron’s helplessness often leads them in perilous situations that the hero must solve in order to save them.<br />
====Home Expansion Arc====<br />
There a plenty of toolsheds, barns, and other various amenities scattered around the hero’s estate. Short quests are necessary to unlock them, but they can truly help the protagonist in their quest in rebuilding the world.<br />

===[[Land Creation System]]===<br />
Players can select and place mystical objects known as [[Artifacts]] on the World Map to create new [[Lands]] to explore. Artifacts can be obtained by interacting with non-player characters or by completing quests.<br />
<br />
Artifacts can be placed on the World Map by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button to move the cursor to the artifact selection wheel. If more than one artifact is in possession, players can use the directional pad and confirm the selection by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button. The [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]] button can be used to cancel the selection. One last press of the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button is needed to make the artifact transform into the corresponding Land.<br />
<br />
Once the placement has been decided, it cannot be changed and therefore players should make sure to consider the Mana levels of lands nearby before confirming their choice.<br />
<br />
===Menu Screen===<br />
<br />
===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Mana spirit !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Wisp''' || Confusion / Charm down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Shade''' || Darkness / Spirit down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Dryad''' || Sleep / HP down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />

|-style="text-align:center;"<br />

|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Jinn''' || Paralysis / Skill down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Undine''' || Freeze / Magic down<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Name !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''HP Recovery''' || Speeds up Hit Point recovery. Given by the Hero/Heroine.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Bonus Lucre''' || Increases obtainable money after defeating enemies. Given by Niccolo.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Attack Gauge PLS''' || Fills the Special Techniques Meter faster. Given by Elazul.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />

[[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity.

===[[Land Creation System]]===<br />
Players can select and place mystical objects known as [[Artifacts]] on the World Map to create new [[Lands]] to explore. Artifacts can be obtained by interacting with non-player characters or by completing quests.<br />
<br />
Artifacts can be placed on the World Map by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button to move the cursor to the artifact selection wheel. If more than one artifact is in possession, players can use the directional pad and confirm the selection by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button. The [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]] button can be used to cancel the selection. One last press of the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button is needed to make the artifact transform into the corresponding Land.<br />
<br />
Once the placement has been decided, it cannot be changed and therefore players should make sure to consider the Mana levels of lands nearby before confirming their choice.<br />
<br />
===Menu Screen===<br />
<br />
===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Mana spirit !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Wisp''' || Confusion / Charm down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Shade''' || Darkness / Spirit down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Dryad''' || Sleep / HP down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />

|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Salamander''' || Burning / Power down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Gnome''' || Petrification / Defense down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Jinn''' || Paralysis / Skill down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Undine''' || Freeze / Magic down<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Name !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''HP Recovery''' || Speeds up Hit Point recovery. Given by the Hero/Heroine.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Bonus Lucre''' || Increases obtainable money after defeating enemies. Given by Niccolo.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Attack Gauge PLS''' || Fills the Special Techniques Meter faster. Given by Elazul.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />

[[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity.

===[[Land Creation System]]===<br />
Players can select and place mystical objects known as [[Artifacts]] on the World Map to create new [[Lands]] to explore. Artifacts can be obtained by interacting with non-player characters or by completing quests.<br />
<br />
Artifacts can be placed on the World Map by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button to move the cursor to the artifact selection wheel. If more than one artifact is in possession, players can use the directional pad and confirm the selection by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button. The [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]] button can be used to cancel the selection. One last press of the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button is needed to make the artifact transform into the corresponding Land.<br />
<br />
Once the placement has been decided, it cannot be changed and therefore players should make sure to consider the Mana levels of lands nearby before confirming their choice.<br />
<br />
===Menu Screen===<br />
<br />
===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Mana spirit !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Wisp''' || Confusion / Charm down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Shade''' || Darkness / Spirit down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Dryad''' || Sleep / HP down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Aura''' || Poison / Luck down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Salamander''' || Burning / Power down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Gnome''' || Petrification / Defense down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Jinn''' || Paralysis / Skill down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Undine''' || Freeze / Magic down<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Name !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''HP Recovery''' || Speeds up Hit Point recovery. Given by the Hero/Heroine.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Bonus Lucre''' || Increases obtainable money after defeating enemies. Given by Niccolo.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Attack Gauge PLS''' || Fills the Special Techniques Meter faster. Given by Elazul.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />

<br />
===[[Land Creation System]]===<br />
Players can select and place mystical objects known as [[Artifacts]] on the World Map to create new [[Lands]] to explore. Artifacts can be obtained by interacting with non-player characters or by completing quests.<br />
<br />
Artifacts can be placed on the World Map by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button to move the cursor to the artifact selection wheel. If more than one artifact is in possession, players can use the directional pad and confirm the selection by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button. The [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]] button can be used to cancel the selection. One last press of the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button is needed to make the artifact transform into the corresponding Land.<br />
<br />
Once the placement has been decided, it cannot be changed and therefore players should make sure to consider the Mana levels of lands nearby before confirming their choice.<br />
<br />
===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Mana spirit !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Wisp''' || Confusion / Charm down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Shade''' || Darkness / Spirit down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Dryad''' || Sleep / HP down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Aura''' || Poison / Luck down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Salamander''' || Burning / Power down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Gnome''' || Petrification / Defense down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Jinn''' || Paralysis / Skill down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Undine''' || Freeze / Magic down<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Name !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''HP Recovery''' || Speeds up Hit Point recovery. Given by the Hero/Heroine.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Bonus Lucre''' || Increases obtainable money after defeating enemies. Given by Niccolo.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Attack Gauge PLS''' || Fills the Special Techniques Meter faster. Given by Elazul.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />

[[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity.

===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Mana spirit !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Wisp''' || Confusion / Charm down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Shade''' || Darkness / Spirit down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Dryad''' || Sleep / HP down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Aura''' || Poison / Luck down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Salamander''' || Burning / Power down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Gnome''' || Petrification / Defense down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Jinn''' || Paralysis / Skill down<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Undine''' || Freeze / Magic down<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
! Name !! Effect<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''HP Recovery''' || Speeds up Hit Point recovery. Given by the Hero/Heroine.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Bonus Lucre''' || Increases obtainable money after defeating enemies. Given by Niccolo.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Attack Gauge PLS''' || Fills the Special Techniques Meter faster. Given by Elazul.<br />
|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />

[[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity. At the same time, [[Daena]] tries a more diplomatic approach to find a cure for the friend she considers like a sister. The fate of friends and foes alike lies in the hands of the protagonist.<br />

===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the possible status conditions magic can inflict onto enemies:<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />
{| width=55% class="wikitable"<br />

|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />

'''''Legend of Mana''''' is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by [[Square]] for the Sony [[PlayStation]]. It is the first spinoff game in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], and the fourth game overall following 1995's ''[[Trials of Mana]]''.<br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of [[Mana (element)|mana]] as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the [[Tree of Mana]] that was lost in ages past.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<blockquote><br />
;Opening cutscene<br />
''Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''Legend of Mana'' is set in the fictional world of [[Fa'Diel]]. The [[Mana Tree]], the giver of [[Mana (element)|mana]] and life for the world, burned down nine centuries prior to the events of the game. A war erupted between faeries, human, and others seeking the scarce power of mana that was left. When the war concluded, the drained Mana Tree slept and the many lands of the world were stored in ancient [[Artifacts|artifacts]]. A hero, controlled by the player, is self-charged with restoring the world, and its mana, to its former self. The Lands of Fa'Diel are populated with a large number of different creatures, including humans, [[Faeries|faeries]], demons, the jewel-hearted [[Jumis|Jumi]] race, plant-like [[Sproutlings]] and [[Flowerlings]], miner bears called [[Dudbears]], and shadowy beings of the Underworld known as [[Shadoles]]. Fa'Diel is also the home of a host of anthropomorphic animals and objects, as well as monsters from other Mana titles such as [[Rabite|Rabites]], [[Chobin Hood|Chobin Hoods]], and [[Goblin|Goblins]].<br />
<br />
The player can choose to be either a male or female silent protagonist. The gender has no actual bearing on gameplay, other than humorous comments made by NPCs regarding the fashion sense of the character. It is not really explained who either protagonist actually is or what their past was like before their Home became an Artifact, as their history and personality is meant to be determined by the player. A myriad of characters meet the hero or heroine during the course of the game's numerous quests; these characters join the player on more than one occasion and drive the game's split storyline, which is divided into three main plot branches. Each branch holds a series of related side-quests, which compose a part of Legend of Mana's story. Upon completion of any of these branches, the player is given the choice of finishing the game, even if quests from other branches have not yet been started or completed. There are 67 quests in total (excluding the final quest).<br />
<br />

Meaniwhile, the Lapis Knight [[Elazul]] tries his best to fulfill his duty to protect his absent-minded guardian [[Pearl]] who has a propensity to get lost. As the story unfolds, Pearl is revealed to play a much larger role in this than previously believed as the jewel hunter’s motives are unveiled.

[[Escad]], one of Matilda’s close friends, seeks to enact vengeance on the demon’s curse and prevent her beloved from being taken into the land of [[Faeries]] where Irwin claims she could live for eternity. At the same time, [[Daena]] tries a more diplomatic approach to find a cure for the friend she considers like a sister. The fate of friends and foes alike lies in the hands of the protagonist.<br />

Larc’s little sister [[Sierra]] tries to reason with her brother by warning him of the consequences of resurrecting the Archdemon of hell, but his older brethren doesn’t seem to care of her concerns. The two of then constantly gets in each other’s way putting the morality of Larc’s actions at stake.<br />

===Battle System===<br />
Unlike previous entries used real-time combat with combats taking place directly on the overworld, ''Legend of Mana'' adopts a beat'em up system similarly implemented in [https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]. Enemies are visible on the overworld and battle are triggered upon contact, locking the camera movement to a predetermined perimeter.<br />
<br />
====Normal Attacks====<br />
The hero can perform normal or '''quick attacks''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button X.svg|15px]] button for a quick strike or inflict a '''power attack''' by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button S.svg|15px]] button. The number and speed of continuous strikes a quick attack can do varies between weapon type. Power attacks deal more damage but strike only once and have a longer recovery time compared to quick attacks.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
In addition to normal attacks, players can perform one of the many '''[[Abilities (Legend of Mana)|abilities]]''' during battle, such as jumping, running, dodging incoming enemy blows, etc. Using abilities in addition to heavy attacks can grant powerful combos, making defeating enemies easier. Two of the abilities can be assigned to command buttons ([[File:PlayStation button T.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button C.svg|15px]]) at a time. In the inital setting, there are eight available abilities. New ones can be learned by using preexisiting abilities or by through the combined use of abilities assigned to the command buttons.<br />
<br />
====Special Techniques====<br />
Finally, the protagonist can execute '''[[Techniques (Legend of Mana)|special techniques]]''' or '''ST''' to deal massive damage to foes. There are a slew of special techniques to choose from and most of them are acquired by equipping a specific weapon. Players can use said techniques once their blue Special Technique Meter are filled up. Up to four STs can be assigned on a command button at a time ([[File:PlayStation button R1.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button R2.svg|15px]], [[File:PlayStation button L1.svg|15px]] and/or [[File:PlayStation button L2.svg|15px]]). Action abilities and Special Techniques can be assigned to button via the Menu Screen outside battle or by pressing the [[File:PlayStation button Start.svg|15px]] button during combat. As abilities are used more frequently, it is possible to learn more Special Techniques.<br />
<br />
====Magic====<br />
Players can also summon [[Mana Spirits]] to deal elemental magic damage to enemies. To do so, [[Instruments|instruments]] must be purchased in town or created via the [[Instrument Workshop]], and assigned to a command button in the Menu Screen. During battle, the assigned button is held, releasing a target area from which the spirt will appear and triggers a magic attack. Magic can be used an infinite amount of time during battle, and its potency is affected by the character level, type of magical instrument, and power. Magic can also randomly inflict and additional [[Status condition]] or decrease a target's stat.<br />
<br />
====Character Synchronization====<br />
During battle, a lighting bolt can be seen coursing between each character's Special Technique Meter. This indicate they are undergoing synchronization, also known as '''Synchro Effect''', temporarily granting beneficial effects during combat. Each ally the protagonist can recruit grant different types of synchronization and can be viewed on the Menu Screen outside battles.<br />
<br />
Here a some examples of synchronization effects:<br />
<br />

|-style="text-align:center;"<br />
| '''Spirit Plus''' || Increase spiritual ability. Given by Bud.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Status Abormalities===<br />
Status conditions appear when enemies successfully use their special attacks on allies of by using Magic against enemies. Depending on the monster's attacks, there will be instances when status abnormalities occur during battle. Most of them will fade after a while or after battle.<br />
