Opening Cutscene

Dagda:
“Tanya, I want you to escape. I’ll take them on myself.”

Tanya:
“No! If I’m going, so are you!”

Dagda:
“You’ll just be a hindrance. Shut your pretty little mouth and do as I say!”

Tanya:
“Y-Yes, dad…”

Gomes:
“Hey hey, not so fast. You’re both gonna die here!”

Dagda:
“Gomes! I don’t want to fight you. Let’s talk…”

Gomes:
“I’m sick of this shit! What the hell are we accomplishing by working this worthless piece of land? I work my ass off day and night, and I’m still starving. You’re just being tricked by that bitch, Eyvel. What’s the matter with you? Get a hold of yourself, you old geezer!”

Dagda:
“Watch your mouth, boy! You’re just a lowly servant, of mine! All right then, show me what you’ve got! I’ll take you all on!”

Conversation (Othin, Tanya)

Othin:
“Tanya! You’re okay! You idiot, you had me worried.”

Tanya:
“What do you mean, idiot! I never asked you to worry yourself over me, anyway!”

Othin:
“You know, why can’t you just say thanks? If we had come a little later…”

Tanya:
“What do you mean! You’re the one picking the fight! …You could also be a little…kinder…”

Othin:
“W-Whoa! D-Don’t cry! Um, so… I’m glad you’re okay. Yeah…”

Conversation (Leaf, Dagda)

Leaf:
“Dagda, are you all right?”

Dagda:
“Of course. But…I never thought you would come out all the way here. Is Eyvel with you?”

Leaf:
“……”

Dagda:
“What’s the matter?”

Leaf:
“Eyvel… She’s in Manster. We…couldn’t save her…”

Dagda:
“What! What were you doing in there!?”

Leaf:
“I couldn’t do anything! I…just couldn’t…”

Dagda:
“……”

Leaf:
“If only I were stronger… If only I had more power…!”

Dagda:
“…It’s all right. Stop blaming yourself.”

Leaf:
“But…”

Dagda:
“I’m sorry I shouted, I wasn’t expecting such news. But you’re a tough one… Forgive me, I was a little harsh.”

Leaf:
“Dagda…”

Dagda:
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you out from now on. I may not be as strong as Eyvel, but I’m still tougher than those youngsters. We’ll go back and save Eyvel together!”

Fighting Gomes

Gomes:
“Damn! You think you stand a chance against Gomes the Invincible!?”

Defeating Gomes

Gomes:
“Dagda…I’m sorry… I had to… We’d all starve otherwise…”

Releasing Gomes

Gomes:
“You’re…letting me go? Thanks…and… I’m sorry!”

After beating the map

Leaf:
“I feel sorry for Dagda. Why can’t the people get proper jobs?”

August:
“This barren land can’t be worked. Probably most of those people are the descendents of Thracian peasants. They were abandoned as children and had no choice but to grow up to be bandits. They wouldn’t have been able to survive otherwise.”

Leaf:
“What? Nonsense! What parents would abandon their own children?”

August:
“Oh? You were traveling, yet you don’t know the pain of starvation? Where did your food come from when you running from the Empire?”

Leaf:
“Food? I…don’t know. But my hunger was always satisfied…”

August:
“Hm, I see you were blessed with fine servants. But you don’t understand the suffering of the people. Southern Thracia is covered with steep mountains. The soil is dry, and the climate is harsh. The farmers work day and night, but still they aren’t able to feed themselves. Either they all starve, or they sacrifice a few to let the others survive. This is the truth, Lord Leaf.”

Leaf:
“Can’t they import food from other countries? Northern Thracia didn’t have a shortage in food at all.”

August:
“Northern Thracia has placed tarrifs on the south. They are especially strict about agricultural trade.”

Leaf:
“What did they do that for?”

August:
“The immediate reason lies in the war that happened one hundred years ago, but the situation continues to this day because the north and south don’t try to understand each other. Also, Northern Thracian nobles are known to be especially greedy.”

Leaf:
“I’ve always been told that Thracia was a cruel, militant empire. But…they have their own troubles. Why? Why do they keep on hating each other? They used to be one unified kingdom…”

August:
“That is the tragedy that lies behind the two sacred spears, the Gae Bolg and the Gungnir. People can become both wise and foolish depending on their leader. Lord Leaf, you have much to learn to be able to lead your country to a bright future. You must not make the same mistake as your father…”
