Opening Cutscene

Pahn:
“What’s all that noise… Did something happen outside?”

Trude:
“Someone has broken into the mansion. It could be an army.”

Pahn:
“They must be the Empire’s public security forces… Is Seiram all right?”

Trude:
“He might have been killed… I’ll go check. You stay here.”

Tina:
“What’s the matter? …Is something wrong?”

Pahn:
“An army’s coming for us. Damn bastards.”

Tina:
“Army…”

Pahn:
“Hey, what was that smile for? Oh, I get it. You think you can escape from me now, eh? Well, fat chance of that. There’s no way I’m letting go of a useful slave like you.”

Tina:
“Why… Why are you doing this…? Please let me go… Please…”

Pahn:
“I said no. You better not try to run, or I’ll do those horrible things to you again. You got that!?”

Tina:
“No! Please, anything but that! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please, forgive me!”

Pahn:
“Good. Then go help Trude with that Thief Staff. Now go on, you incompetent slug!”

(Scene switches to Leaf)

(If you captured Seiram in Ch 12)

Seiram:
“I will talk with Pahn. He will understand.”

Leaf:
“You’ll help us, Seiram?”

Seiram:
“I’m still not sure… But do I have much choice now?”

(If you included Lifis in your attack team)

Leaf:
“What’s the matter, Lifis? You don’t look well.”

Lifis:
“Hey, prince… Could you switch me with someone else? I really don’t want to…”

August:
“You said you were living around here when you were a child. Do you know some of the thieves?”

Lifis:
“Well… There’s this one guy I really don’t want to meet, and…”

August:
“Don’t be ridiculous. Now go to your post!”

Lifis:
“Come on, please! Just this once!”

August:
“No. It’s the prince’s orders!”

(If you included Lara in your attack team)

Lara:
“Excuse me…”

Leaf:
“Lara? What’s wrong?”

Lara:
“Pahn isn’t a bad man.”

Leaf:
“Do you know him?”

Lara:
“Yes… Until a year ago, I was a dancer in a band of traveling entertainers. I hated it there, but since I was sold there for money when I was little, I couldn’t escape… But then Pahn saved me from them.”

Leaf:
“I see… So that’s why you became a thief.”

Lara:
“Lord Leaf, please let me speak with him. I need to talk to him!”

Conversation (Seiram, Pahn)

Seiram:
“Pahn! Withdraw your sword.”

Pahn:
“Seiram!? What are you doing on the enemy side? …Are you going to betray us?”

Seiram:
“No. These people aren’t enemies. They are Prince Leaf’s Liberation Army.”

Pahn:
“Liberation Army? What’s that?”

Seiram:
“They have the same ideals as we do. I will explain it later. For now, just withdraw your blade!”

Pahn:
“So you want us to stop fighting? …I suppose you’ve thought it through well enough to make a decision like this. All right, I’ll trust you. Let’s go.”

(If Trude hasn’t been killed/captured)

Seiram:
“Trude is still fighting. He’ll only listen to you… Go talk to him.”

Pahn:
“All right. He’s a valuable friend… I can’t let him die.”

Conversation (Lifis, Pahn)

Lifis:
“Shit…”

Pahn:
“Hm? …Are you Lifis? Hey, long time no see!”

Lifis:
“Y-Yeah… Hi…Pahn…”

Pahn:
“You haven’t changed at all since you were a kid, have you? Have you at least learned not to wet your bed?”

Lifis:
“C-Come on, Pahn… That was a long time ago.”

Pahn:
“Really? You were biggest crybaby in the village, and you were always being bullied by the other guys… It seems like it was yesterday.”

Lifis:
“…You were the one who always picked on me first…”

Pahn:
“Hm? Did you say something?”

Lifis:
“No, nothing…”

Pahn:
“Oh, okay. Hey, you’re working for the Liberation Army now, right? Sounds like fun. Yeah, I think I’ll join. Where’s your leader?”

Lifis:
“Wh-What!?”

Pahn:
“What! You got a problem?”

Lifis:
“…No…”

Pahn:
“Let’s have fun again, like the old days! What do you say?”

Lifis:
“…I’m gonna be stuck with this asshole again…?”

Pahn:
“Hey, you all right? You look a little pale.”

Lifis:
“Huh? D-D-Do I? M-Maybe I caught a cold or something! Ah, ahahaha…”

Pahn:
“?”

(If Trude hasn’t been killed/captured)

Lifis:
“Oh, Pahn. Can you do something about that mercenary? We’re having trouble with him…”

Pahn:
“Mercenary? You mean Trude? Sure, he’s a good friend of mine. I’ll talk to him.”

Conversation (Lara, Pahn)

Lara:
“Pahn!”

Pahn:
“Hm? Oh, Lara… What are you doing here? Ah, I get it… You missed me so much, you just had to come back, right?”

Lara:
“…What if I said yes?”

Pahn:
“Whoa, whoa, what’s with the serious look? I was joking. I don’t need a kid like you hovering around me. Go back to Manster.”

Lara:
“So you’re driving me away again. I thought you liked me when I was dancing. You were watching me so intently…”

Pahn:
“Yeah, I didn’t know you were still a kid back then. Yup, you’re right, I liked your dancing. It’s, you know…energizing. It cheers you up. But you hated dancing, right? That’s why you quit.”

Lara:
“…No… I actually like to dance. So… If you liked it, I can dance for you again.”

Pahn:
“What are you saying…”

Lara:
“No, not just for you… If I can cheer everyone up with my dancing, then that would be nice…”

Pahn:
“Everyone? Who’s everyone?”

Lara:
“Prince Leaf’s Liberation Army. I’m helping them. I’m not much use, though…”

Pahn:
“Hmm… Ah, I get it… All right Lara, go back to being a dancer. Then I’ll join the Liberation Army as well.”

Lara:
“Really, Pahn? Do you really mean it?”

Pahn:
“Yeah, I can’t be a thief forever. The liberation of Northern Thracia, huh… Sounds interesting.”

Conversation (Pahn, Trude)

Pahn:
“Trude, it’s all right. We don’t have to fight any more.”

Trude:
“What do you mean?”

Pahn:
“I’m joining the Liberation Army. So come with me.”

Trude:
“I see… So that’s the Liberation Army… I knew their morale was too high to be the Imperial Army. All right. I’ll go with you.”

Pahn:
“Good. We’ve been friends for a long time, so I didn’t want to have to fight you. Thanks, Trude.”

Trude:
“Of course. Let’s go.”

Conversation (Saphy, Tina)

Saphy:
“Tina!? What are doing in a place like this?”

Tina:
“Big sister Saphy! Waaahh…”

Saphy:
“Why are you crying? What happened? Why did you leave Tahra!?”

Tina:
“I wanted to help you, so I left the city… But then I was captured by a thief named Pahn, and he made me his slave…”

Saphy:
“Slave!? Tina! What did he do to you!?”

Tina:
“He told me to help him steal with the Thief and Unlock staves…”

Saphy:
“Why didn’t you refuse?”

Tina:
“I did… But then he did terrible things to me…”

Saphy:
“Terrible things!?”

Tina:
“Yes…”

Saphy:
“What did he do to you, Tina!? Tell me! I’m prepared for the worst!”

Tina:
“He… He takes huge bugs and puts them on my face… I-I was so scared… I thought I would die.”

Saphy:
“…Is that all?”

Tina:
“Yes… But I was really scared. Just remembering it gives me shivers…”

Saphy:
“Tina…”

Tina:
“Yes?”

Saphy:
“I told you to stay in Tahra until I returned. Now, you see what happens when you don’t listen to your big sister? I hope you’ve learned your lesson.”

Tina:
“Yes, I’m sorry… Oh, Saphy, don’t you think Lord Leaf is so handsome? My ideal man would be a prince like him… What do you think, Saphy?”

Saphy:
“Tina… …I’m a little tired. Let’s talk later.”

Tina:
“Okay, big sister!”

Fighting Pahn

Pahn:
“Ha, idiots. I’m no ordinary thief!”

Defeating Pahn

Pahn:
“Ugh… Dammit…”

Releasing Pahn

Pahn:
“Hmph, so now you think I’m in your debt? I don’t think so!”

Fighting Trude

Trude:
“This is it. Die!”

Defeating Trude

Trude:
“Gah…! How could I…”

Releasing Trude

Trude:
“You won’t get any thanks. I’ll kill you the next time we meet!”

Fighting Tina

Tina:
“Saphy… Help me…”

Defeating Tina

Tina:
“I’m sorry…Saphy…”

Releasing Tina

Tina:
“Thank you for letting me go. I’ll go look for my big sister Saphy now.”

After beating the map

Dorias:
“Dawn is breaking. Our troops should have regained their strength by now. Let’s head on to Tahra!”

(If you captured Trude)

Pahn:
“Hey, release Trude. He’s one of my closest friends. I’ll talk him into joining the Liberation Army. Then there should be no problems.”

(If you included Lifis in your attack team)

Leaf:
“All right. Pahn’s a caring person, isn’t he?”

Lifis:
“Prince, you don’t know what this guy is really like… Oh, man…”
