Part 150: Missed Content - Skits: Scenario

Hey there! You may have thought we were done, but there are in fact a bunch of skits we missed during our playthrough. Today, we're looking at the story-related skits that we haven't seen yet.

First, there's a bunch of skits that trigger very early in the game, the first time you go to the world map. They expire as soon as you enter Deidon Hold, so I guess I just didn't loiter around enough. Here's the three we missed:

Skit: Outside the Barrier / Baldurdash
I've heard stories about monsters living outside the barrier, but it's really true!
Yeah.
Now I understand why everyone says the world outside the barrier is so dangerous.
It's pretty easy to forget the monsters are even out here, when you live on the inside. We'd better not let our guard down.
Right.
Woof!


Skit: Not Good with Magic
You don't use magic, do you, Yuri?
It's not that I don't. I can't. That's one talent I don't have.
But anyone with blastia should be able to use magic if they just learn the theory...right?
I told you, I don't have the knack for learning magical theory!
So...you're bad at studying?
That's one way to put it.
*Whine*


Skit: Bigger than the Capital
The world is so big...
What makes you say that all of a sudden?
I thought the capital was big. But the world outside is so much bigger.
How much farther beyond the horizon does that clear sky stretch?
I know. Compared to the lower quarter, it's huge.


Then, we missed three skits in Capua Nor, after meeting Flynn and his subordinates for the first time.

Skit: The Magistrate's Evil
A city where the magistrate can do whatever he wants really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Looks like there's bound to be a few power-mad imperials no matter where you go.
What we saw on the way into town here--that happened all the time back in the lower quarter.
I'm glad I live outside the empire. I don't think I could stand this very long...
Why would the magistrate do these things...?
Hey, we don't need to let the bad vibes in this city rub off on us.
Exactly.
All right...


Skit: Witcher and Rita
Hey, Flynn said that mage Witcher was from Aspio, didn't he?
Did you know him from before, Rita?
...Hmm.
What do you mean, "hmm"?
I get the feeling he might have passed through my field of vision once or twice...
It's nothing more than a vague memory, though.
I think I know why Witcher had such a chip on his shoulder...


Skit: Opinions on Flynn
I don't usually get along with knights, but Flynn was different. He seemed like a serious, capable sort of guy, you know?
Really? He seemed like a really stubborn, by-the-rules kind of guy to me.
Flynn's a good person who'll give anyone a helping hand when they have a problem!
Maybe now, but he raised some hell in the lower quarter back in the day.
I can hardly imagine Flynn like that...


After that, two skits after the boss fight against Gusios in Caer Bocram, but before getting captured and taken to Heliord by the Knights.

Skit: The Dragon Freak



What's she so mad about?
It looks like she's upset that we let that dragon rider escape.
I never thought he'd go as far as the Caer Bocram underground to destroy blastia. Now that's dedication.
The next time we meet, I'll choke the life out of him with my bare hands!
Rita's pretty dedicated, herself...


Skit: Karol and Nan
*Sigh* This is awful...
...
You've been staring at Karol for a while now. What's up?
I'm just worried about the fight he had with his friend, Nan. And he's clearly depressed.
That wasn't a fight. It was a one-sided verbal beat-down.
It's gotta be a good sign if she cares enough to criticize him that much. If she didn't care about him, she wouldn't even bother, right?
I suppose so...
*Sigh* I'm so hungry...
...Wait, THAT's what you were worrying about?!


Later, in early Part 2, after the party made and named their guild, but before the whole seduction/dressup thing.

Skit: Is Repede a Member Too?
Repede's an honorary member of Brave Vesperia, too isn't he?
Of course he is.
But everyone who joins the guild has to swear to uphold its laws, don't they?
Well, in his case...
What are you all worried about? Repede knows the laws!
Woof!
There've been lots of times when I just know Repede understands what we're saying.
I know how you feel.
Yeah, I don't know. Well how about it, Repede?
...He just went to mark his territory.


Then, in the incredibly short timeframe between Raven's supposed death in Baction and meeting him again on Heracles.

Skit: Raven Was...
I can't believe Raven was an Imperial Knight. A captain! And his body...
I guess I didn't know a single thing about him. But he still protected us.
He'd be happy to know you were thinking that.
And that's all the more reason we can't turn back now.
Right. He risked his life so we could see this through to the end.
...Yeah.
Let's do it! Let's save Estelle!


A bit later, on the way to Zopheir, after getting shot to Capua Nor trying to attack Alexei in Zaphias by air.

Skit: The Blade Drifts of Zopheir
Karol, just what sort of place is the Blade Drifts of Zopheir?
Well, I've never been there myself, but I've heard the entire place is covered in a sheet of ice.
Nan told me this was the best season for hunting monsters there, 'cause the ice is thickest.
The monsters there sound pretty tough, too.
Covered in a sheet of ice, huh? I'm gettin' the chills just hearin' about it.
Will it be a problem that we haven't made any special preparations?
No matter how cold it is, it'll be better than the heat of the Sands of Kogorh, right?
I dunno about better, but we're running out of time. We'll have to go in as we are.


Than, in Halure, after meeting all the nobles that fled from Zaphias.

Skit: What's Up with Yuri
You've been lookin' all around for a while now. Ya looking out for somebody?
What? No!
There's no point trying to hide it. Your eyes have been wandering all over the place.
All right, you got me.
With all the people from the capital, I haven't seen anybody from the lower quarter.
You're concerned for them, aren't you? That's nothing to be ashamed of.
...I just figured we've got enough to worry about as it is.


Shortly after that, on the way to aer-overrun Zaphias to rescue Estelle.

Skit: If the Prince Becomes Emperor
I wonder if the world will benefit if Prince Ioder becomes emperor.
Who knows...
What kind of weak answer is that? I thought you'd be at least a little optimistic.
Well, he'll have Flynn around. That should help things a little.
But only a little?
I'm not so wide-eyed and innocent to think that major change is going to happen over night.
That sounds like you, all right.


In Part 3, after Sylph tells us about Duke's past, but before triggering the scene about having collected all four spirits. We missed this one because we did Relewiese last and decided to warp out directly after that cutscene.

Skit: What Sylph Said
...
Are you angry, Yuri?
...Yeah. A little.
Is it about the events of Duke's past that Sylph shared with us?
...So basically, Duke's doing what he's doing to clean up the mess made by an idiot.
The whole thing is just so stupid.
Even though Duke and Elucifur were both fighting for humanity's sake... It's so sad...
Like the hero who shined so bright that people couldn't look at him, and got scared.
...The overwhelming power caused people to fear him.
It's all so stupid...

Fun fact, this skit labels two Yuri lines as Estelle's, in all versions of the game.

Also, that one line in the middle about cleaning up the mess was translated a bit out of context, or at least is more vague than it needs to be. It refers to the humans killing Elucifur after he had won the war for them because they were afraid of his power.


And finally, when we fetch the guild people in Dahngrest and Nordopolica for talks in Aurnion about the future of the world.

Skit: The State of Palestralle
You gotta hand it to Palestralle. They're tough.
Yes. The coliseum is as busy as it ever was.
Belius had a lot of power, but Palestralle didn't rely on her. That's way different from the Union.
The people living here haven't changed, either. This is the city Belius made.
They're doing all they can to live their lives. Maybe that's what defines this town, and Palestralle.
The world can change all it wants. Nordopolica'll be okay.
Yes, it will.


And that's all the scenario skits we missed! Stay tuned for more from other categories.
