History Quotes / FugaMelodiesOfSteel

->''"Whenever we have an internal testing session, I always play the game myself and tell the development team what I think of it. (...) I gave them very detailed instructions on what elements to adjust. We then determined the optimal values by comparing them with the data of thirty monitored participants at the same time. Then, we began to see various trends. The results of the internal testing sessions and the results of the Japanese players' choices after release were in perfect agreement [on who to sacrifice for the Soul Cannon]-- [[BigFun Boron]] in first place, [[CuteBookworm Socks]] in second place, and [[TheLeader Malt]] in third place. It seems that everyone tends to think that fat guys and glasses are not useful. In particular, Boron's fat appearance gave the impression that he was [[TheLoad the most useless]], [[BigEater the most likely to eat all the food]], and [[FatIdiot the most slow-witted]], so he often became a victim. But if you played ''Fuga'', you know that Boron is actually [[StoutStrength the strongest character]].\\

'''[[TheLeader Malt]]:''' But if we don’t hurry… Everyone from the village will be taken away!

'''Hanna:''' What…\\
'''Malt:''' You abducted our families! You give us no choice…!\\
'''Socks:''' S-shall we fight…?\\
'''Kyle:''' What're we gonna do…?\\
'''Malt:''' We will fight you! We'll never get them back if we don't!\\
'''Kyle:''' Yeah! Who knows if we can win or not if we don't try?\\
'''Colonel Pretzel:''' Well, what did I expect from children? Such foolishness… Indeed that machine is impressive, but you are outmatched! I repeat! Surrender now, kids.\\
'''Malt:''' If we give up, maybe they’d take us where they're holding everyone, but… Who's to say we could save them then…?\\

'''Kyle:''' I-I ain't afraid…! Let's kick their asses!\\
'''Socks:''' R-right…!\\
'''Boron:''' If that means we can save everyone, I'll fight, too.\\
'''Malt:''' Alright… Let's do this!

->'''Radio Woman:''' It is as I feared… The Soul Cannon has been activated… So one of you was used as its power source… The Taranis' ultimate weapon, [[WaveMotionGun the Soul Cannon]], has the power to eliminate any threat… However, in order to function, it requires Bio-Energy… In other words, [[PoweredByAForsakenChild a single person's life]]. Someone sacrificed themselves to become its energy source and thusly faded away… My children, I understand your sorrow, but unfortunately all I can do is console you… I promise to do everything in my power to help reach your objective… Your friend's sacrifice will not have been in vain…\\

'''Kyle:''' Geez, did you fall asleep and dream or somethin'?\\
'''Socks:''' Everyone is tired. No wonder you might fall asleep.\\
'''Boron:''' You must have had a sad dream, huh?\\
'''Mei:''' Malt, are you sad?\\
'''Malt:''' No, Mei. I'm fine. (But… What is this… this weird feeling…?)

->'''Kyle:''' W-we did it!! We won!!\\
'''Malt:''' Did… we do it…?\\
'''Boron:''' Alright! Haha! I'm so relieved, it makes me really hungry…\\
'''Kyle:''' Dude, do you ever think of anything besides food?\\
'''Hanna:''' D-do you think… That Berman soldier's… dead?\\
'''Kyle:''' Well… what do you think…\\
'''Malt:''' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Guys… We just… killed someone…]]

'''Hanna:''' Everyone… will die…?\\

''Struck by this cruel reality, the children stood in quiet resolution. "So this is war…"''\\

'''Radio Woman:''' The Taranis is equipped with a formidable weapon, the Soul Cannon, capable of defeating any enemy. However, in order to function, it requires Bio-Energy… In other words, a single person's life.\\
'''Socks:''' What…!?\\
'''Radio Woman:''' I hope you won’t need to use it… But, if it’s the only way to avoid everyone’s death… you mustn’t hesitate. Although you may regret your actions in the moment, hesitation will only lead to certain death… I promise I will do everything in my power so it doesn’t come to that…\\
\\
''The children couldn't comprehend everything the voice said, but this much was clear… If they hesitated, everyone would die. This horrifying reality fell heavily on their shoulders…''

'''Hanna:''' Yes, I'm sure they're fine.\\

[[AC:"You Seem A Little Tired" (with Hanna)]]
->'''Hanna:''' Hey, Malt… You seem a little tired.\\
'''Malt:''' Nah, I'm fine. But what about you? You always look busy with something.\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, I just worry about the others, if they're okay or not. I have to look after them.\\
'''Malt:''' Sort of like me, huh? Since I'm the oldest here.\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, that's why we need to be strong, for them. When you're feeling run down, you should get some rest, okay?\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, I'll try to take your advice. You do the same, alright?

->'''Malt:''' Phew…\\
'''Hanna:''' See, I was right. You do seem tired. Why don't you take a quick break?\\
'''Malt:''' That's easier said than done. I've got to help everybody…\\
'''Hanna:''' I know you want to be strong for everyone since you're the oldest, but… you're going to make me angry if you overdo it.\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, uhh… alright. I guess you're more stubborn than I am… Plus, I know how terrifying you can be when you're angry…\\
'''Hanna:''' Wh-why must you bring that up… You always were the only one who could make me angry, ever since we were young!\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, sorry… Y'know, I think you act more like a mom than a big sister.\\
'''Hanna:''' I-I'm not that old yet!\\
'''Malt:''' No, no, I mean… Hahaha.\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, my… Heeheehee.

->'''Malt:''' Hey, Hanna.\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, good. You're finally looking rested. Which means, I can finally rest, too. Heehee.\\
'''Malt:''' What can I say? I can't make "Mom" worry.\\
'''Hanna:''' There you go, teasing me again… I'm still a little girl. You just naturally make me worry.\\
'''Malt:''' I-I don't mean to… Haha. Um, so… When all this fighting is over and we can go home, let's kick back and take it easy! We'll forget all our worries and just relax!\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, and let's go somewhere quiet. Maybe, sometimes… just the two of us.\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, of course. That's a promise, Hanna.

[[AC:"Countryside Sweets" (with Kyle)]]
->'''Kyle:''' Ugh, how much longer we gotta live like this?\\
'''Malt:''' What's that? So, even YOU wanna go home!\\
'''Kyle:''' You kiddin' me? I wanna go to the city, not back to our boring village. Somewhere like Paresia.\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, really?\\
'''Kyle:''' It's not like I actually liked living in the middle of nowhere! I hated having to move from the city to that dinky, countryside village.\\
'''Malt:''' But Petit Mona's a nice place, you know.\\
'''Kyle:''' Like how? I need a place with culture, not constantly surrounded by moosheep and hay— I want more music and art.\\
'''Malt:''' Hmm... You're so weird.\\
'''Kyle:''' Pft, YOU'RE weird!

->'''Kyle:''' Argh, give me a break...\\
'''Malt:''' What's up, Kyle?\\
'''Kyle:''' I just noticed I got something on my shirt. I musta got it from a machine around here somewhere.\\
'''Malt:''' You were always worried about keeping your clothes clean, even back at the village, huh?\\
'''Kyle:''' That's a given, I like to keep things clean. Geez, look at this! It was never this bad back in the village.\\
'''Malt:''' You know, I haven't heard you talk about the city or complain about the village as much these days. Maybe you've realized how nice it was in the village?\\
'''Kyle:''' A-as if! But whatever. Now's not the time to talk like this. Even I know that.\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, you're right...

->'''Kyle:''' Think about it, once we save everybody, we'll be heroes when we get back home, huh?\\
'''Malt:''' Hmm, heroes... I'd be satisfied just to eat some of the sweets Grandma makes than anything epic like that.\\
'''Kyle:''' Oh, those sweets you gave me before? Yeah, they were... pretty good.\\
'''Malt:''' Doesn't the city have a ton of tasty sweets like that, though? Like cakes with a ton of cream on top and stuff.\\
'''Kyle:''' Well, yeah there are, but I don't hate those sweets your Grandma makes... I actually liked the taste.\\
'''Malt:''' See, there's other good things about the village! Once we get back, I'll show you around.\\
'''Kyle:''' Yeah, I want to like the place I'm going to live forever... that and long-lasting friendships...\\
'''Malt:''' Actually, I'd really like to try the sweets from the city. It'd be great if you could introduce them to me sometime.\\
'''Kyle:''' It might destroy your gut with its deliciousness if you eat too much, y'know...\\
'''Malt:''' Hahaha. I'd still like to eat that much, though. I hope this war will be over soon...\\
'''Kyle:''' Totally.

[[AC:"Our Big Brother" (with Boron)]]
->'''Malt:''' Hey, Boron. What're you doing?\\
'''Boron:''' Oh, nothing really.\\
'''Malt:''' You don't seem like yourself. Are you worried about something?\\
'''Boron:''' Worried? Me? Hmm, Maybe I am...\\
'''Malt:''' Ooh, starting from there, huh? You never seemed like one to worry about stuff.\\
'''Boron:''' Yeah, I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before. You're always so observant, Malt! Heeheehee!\\
'''Malt:''' Haha! Well, you can always come to me if you're worried about something. I'm the oldest, so it's my job to look out for you guys!\\
'''Boron:''' I got it! Thanks, Malt!

->'''Boron:''' Hey, Malt... Do you have a minute?\\
'''Malt:''' Sure, I always have time to give advice.\\
'''Boron:''' It's not really advice, but... I was wondering, do you think we'll really be able to go back home?\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, so you don't need advice but rather a pep talk?\\
'''Boron:''' Yeah, I guess.\\
'''Malt:''' I'd really like to help, but I don't think there's much I can say to ease your anxiety...\\
'''Boron:''' Yeah, I thought so...\\
'''Malt:''' Let me think for a while. I'm the oldest after all!\\
'''Boron:''' Alright! You're really something, Malt! Thanks!

->'''Malt:''' Hmmm…\\
'''Boron:''' Malt, are you worried about something, too?\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, it's just... I tried to think how to ease your anxiety, but I don't think I can do it alone.\\
'''Boron:''' Ahaha! I knew that's what was bothering you!\\
'''Malt:''' So, let's put our brains together! Maybe we can come up with a way to quickly end this war and get back home! But to do that, we'll need everyone's help. You'll help, right?\\
'''Boron:''' Y-yeah, of course! If there's anything I can do to help, I'll gladly do it! You know, I'm always afraid that I'm useless around here... It's like my Number 1 worry.\\
'''Malt:''' Really? But you're the strongest one here, the best at working in the fields... Plus, simply having you around helps to calm everyone's nerves! Hahaha!\\
'''Boron:''' Malt, you always tell me exactly what I need to hear. I knew we could look up to you like an older brother.

[[AC:"Future Inventor" (with Socks)]]
-> '''Malt:''' Hmm? You're all fidgety. Did you figure something out?\\
'''Socks:''' So, you noticed—! No— It was overflowing, this creative urge!\\
'''Malt:''' Okay, um... I've only got bad feelings about this, but...\\
'''Socks:''' Hear me out! I might be able to invent something! The Taranis has something that is unequivocally different from all other tanks!\\
'''Malt:''' Yup. It's big.\\
'''Socks:''' Heh heh heh! An amateur's deduction!\\
'''Malt:''' Which... includes yourself.\\
'''Socks:''' Indeed you are correct, but that is not all! Its treads are unlike any other! Fundamentally! Yes, the treads! They are literally like little feet! No matter the rugged terrain or steep incline, its shock absorbers help it traverse almost any landscape.\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, would you look at the time! I forgot I needed to do something—\\
'''Socks:''' Too bad, but I will not stand in the way of your duties. I will explain more next time!\\
'''Malt:''' S-sure, I'll look forward to it... Hahaha...

->'''Socks:''' Malt, listen to this, my amazing idea!\\
'''Malt:''' Umm... What was it? A tank with feet?\\
Yes, yes! That was it! But I discovered several problems in its design.\\
'''Malt:''' Problems...?\\
'''Socks:''' According to my calculations, a tank with feet will not be able to achieve the expected speeds it could otherwise.\\
'''Malt:''' That's true, wheels would probably work better on cars and tanks than feet, right?\\
'''Socks:''' Plus there is the issue of how to assemble it... The Taranis was made with quite advanced technology, but it is unclear when or who created it.\\
'''Malt:''' I can't say I know a lot about ordinary tanks, but it sounds like the Taranis is something special, huh?\\
'''Socks:''' Yes, indeed. I will have to begin researching it further. Yes, I am really getting fired up!\\
'''Malt:''' As spirited as ever, yup...

->'''Socks:''' Hmm... It is as challenging as expected...\\
'''Malt:''' What is? The tank with feet you were designing?\\
'''Socks:''' Even if I were able to create the feet, it would likely take hundreds of years to do so.\\
'''Malt:''' Well, you don't necessarily have to be the one to build it, right? Like your descendants or someone down the line could finish it.\\
'''Socks:''' Wh-what!? Th-that is most unscientific... That means I would have to marry...\\
'''Malt:''' Not sure how that's related to science... I'm sure there's somebody out there who shares the same passion for science as you, Professor Socks Million!\\
'''Socks:''' It is slightly embarrassing to hear you say "Professor," but... If one of my descendants is able to give shape to my invention, I would be extremely pleased.\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, I'll be rooting for the Professors of the future!

[[AC:"Dear Malt" (with Mei)]]
-> '''Mei:''' Hey, Malt? Um...\\
'''Malt:''' What's up? Why are you so jittery, Mei?\\
'''Mei:''' What kind of people were Mommy and Daddy?\\
'''Malt:''' Huh? Mom and Dad?\\
'''Mei:''' Yeah... I don't remember them much.\\
'''Malt:''' That's right, they went to paradise when you were just a wee little thing... Aw, are you feeling lonely?\\
'''Mei:''' I don't know, but... I've got Grandma, Grandpa, and you, so I'm not that lonely.\\
'''Malt:''' Right you are! We'll just have to hurry and rescue them, huh!\\
'''Mei:''' Uh-huh! I bet they're lonely without us!\\
'''Malt:''' Hahaha! I bet you're right!

->'''Mei:''' Malt, teach me to draw letters!\\
'''Malt:''' Draw letters? Oh, you mean write? Hmm, actually it might be good for you to start learning how to write.\\
'''Mei:''' Yay!!\\
''(a little later…)''\\
'''Malt:''' See? This says "Mei". It's your name!\\
'''Mei:''' M-E-I. Okay, I got it!\\
'''Malt:''' There ya go! And this says "Malt", my name!\\
'''Mei:''' M-A-L-T. Is this right?\\
'''Malt:''' Yup! Great job!\\
'''Mei:''' Next, next!! What about Grandma and Grandpa?\\
'''Malt:''' O-okay, okay! There's no rush. Why are you so excited to learn how to write all of a sudden?\\
'''Mei:''' Heehee! It's a secret!\\
'''Malt:''' Hmm...?

->'''Malt:''' Hi, Mei. How's your writing practice going?\\
'''Mei:''' Yeah, I think I'm getting better at it!\\
'''Malt:''' Ooh, can you show me how you're doing?\\
'''Mei:''' Yeah, sure! But... maybe a little later.\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, okay. Whatever you say!\\
'''Mei:''' Malt, here! It's for you! But... read it alone, okay?\\
'''Malt:''' Hmm?\\
''(a little later…)''\\
'''Malt:''' Alright, let's see what she wrote... "Dear Malt." Seems like a letter. "Malt. Grandma. Grandpa. Thank you. I love you. Mei." Oh, Mei... I'm so sorry to put you in danger. I love you, too. I swear I'll protect you and everybody else, until we can all go home... Mom, Dad... Please watch over us...

[[AC:"All About Malt" (with Chick)]]

'''Chick:''' Hmmmmmmm... It would be nice to have more sweets!\\
'''Malt:''' Sweets, huh? That might be kinda tricky, but I'll see what I can do.\\
'''Chick:''' Yay!! Thanks!\\
'''Malt:''' Sure thing! Let me know if there's anything else on your mind, okay? As the oldest, it's my job to look after you guys!\\
'''Chick:''' Uh-huh, okay! You're the oldest! Heehee!

->'''Chick:''' Malt, can you help me a sec?\\
'''Malt:''' Sure, what's the matter? I'll try to help if I can.\\
'''Chick:''' Umm... What did you used to do in your village?\\
'''Malt:''' Oh, about me? Okay, well... I used to study at school and help around the house. Stuff like that, I guess.\\
'''Chick:''' Did you have any chores?\\
'''Malt:''' My grandpa kept some moosheep, so I'd help out with them sometimes.\\
'''Chick:''' Moosheep!! How many did you have?\\
'''Malt:''' Ahh, I think there were maybe 10 or so? They run about the meadows with vigor.\\
'''Chick:''' Heeeee!! I wanna run with moosheep. There's not much space to run around here...\\
'''Malt:''' Well, once this war is over, you can come over to the village anytime!\\
'''Chick:''' Really!? I can't wait!!

->'''Chick:''' Hey, Malt! How old are you?\\
'''Malt:''' How old am I? I'm 12. And you were... 6, right?\\
'''Chick:''' Yup, I'm 6! You remembered! That makes me happy!\\
'''Malt:''' I was the oldest kid in the village, so I felt it was sort of my job to watch out for the smaller kids.\\
'''Chick:''' Hmm, so... When I'm 16 you'll be 22... maybe just right!\\
'''Malt:''' Huh? What do you mean, just right?\\
'''Chick:''' Eheehee! Nothing! I bet you'll look so cool then...!\\
'''Malt:''' I dunno... I'll try not to disappoint!\\
'''Chick:''' Yeah, I can't wait! Ooh, I wanna grow up!! Heehee!

[[AC:"The Pranks and Freedom" (with Hack)]]
->'''Malt:''' Hack, did I hear you were making people mad with your pranks again?\\
'''Hack:''' Huh? Are you here to yell at me, too?\\
'''Malt:''' No, but I'd like to hear what's been going on.\\
'''Hack:''' It was just a little prank! I'm free to do whatever I want, aren't I?\\
'''Malt:''' Free to do what you want, huh? It might not be a big deal for a small kid like you to pull a couple pranks, but...\\
'''Hack:''' What do you mean?\\
'''Malt:''' Do you think the Berman Army was free to take all the people from our villages?\\
'''Hack:''' N-no, that's different! That isn't a prank at all!\\
'''Malt:''' You're right. I don't think so either. As long as you understand the difference, it's okay.\\
'''Hack:''' Okay...

->'''Hack:''' Malt, did you ever play pranks on people?\\
'''Malt:''' Of course, I did, and people got mad at me, too.\\
'''Hack:''' Really? Heehee...\\
'''Malt:''' But they weren't angry that I did the prank, they were angry that I broke my promise by doing it. You said that you're free to do whatever you want, right? But I don't think that's really freedom.\\
'''Hack:''' Doesn't it mean you can do whatever you want, whenever you want?\\
'''Malt:''' No, it's a little different. I think the true meaning of freedom means you are free to do what you have to do. I mean...\\
'''Malt:''' Sorry, I might be overcomplicating it.\\
'''Hack:''' What do we have to do?\\
'''Malt:''' Yup, that's the question! Why not think about it for a while?

->'''Hack:''' Malt, what is it we've gotta do?\\
'''Malt:''' It shouldn't be that hard to figure out, but let me tell you this... The Berman didn't need to take our village or the country. Throughout this war, I've come to think that isn't freedom but rather an act of selfishness.\\
'''Hack:''' Yeah, I think so, too!\\
'''Malt:''' What we've got to do... I think it's for us to live in peace. Basically, to live in peace is freedom. That's why we've got to get it back!\\
'''Hack:''' I didn't get all the hard stuff, but I think I know what I gotta do now!\\
'''Malt:''' Good, let's hang in there together, okay? (Malt sounds like a hero... I wanna grow up to be just like him!)

[[AC:"I Hate the Nono... and Myself" (with Sheena)]]
->'''Malt:''' Uh, sorry if I'm wrong about this, but... I wanted to ask if you were afraid of us or something like that?\\
'''Sheena:''' What? N-no, it's not like that...\\
'''Malt:''' Ahh, okay. Sorry for asking such a weird question...\\
'''Sheena:''' N-no, it's all right. I'm sure it's just because... I'm shy, so...\\
'''Malt:''' Okay, well... We're all on the same team now, so don't feel bad if you have something you want to say.\\
'''Sheena:''' Yes, I'll try... Th-thank you, Malt. (It still feels like there's a wall between us... I wonder why?)

->'''Malt:''' It's been a while now. How are you doing settling in, Sheena?\\
'''Sheena:''' I-I'm fine... I didn't mean to make you worry about me.\\
'''Malt:''' Haha. It's okay, I was sort of worried you were trying to avoid us.\\
'''Sheena:''' You know... M-maybe I am.\\
'''Malt:''' Well, consider me shook.\\
'''Sheena:''' Uh, no... Don't misunderstand! I think I wanted you all to avoid me.\\
'''Malt:''' To avoid you? Why?\\
'''Sheena:''' I told you I can use spells... or rather, the Nono, right? I think maybe that's why the Berman targeted me as well as my family. That's why I hate the Nono, and my ability to use it. I think that's why I tried to avoid everyone.\\
'''Malt:''' Is that what was going on... I think I get it now. Thanks for telling me.\\
'''Sheena:''' I'm really sorry.

->'''Malt:''' I still kinda feel like you're holding back a little...\\
'''Sheena:''' Yes, perhaps you're right. If you think so, it must be true.\\
'''Malt:''' Do you still dislike yourself and the Nono?\\
'''Sheena:''' Yes, I don't believe this will change until we're able to get my mother and sister back, and return to our usual way of life.\\
'''Malt:''' Sheena, you're too nice.\\
'''Sheena:''' What?\\
'''Malt:''' It's not your fault the Berman captured your mom and sister. It's not the Nono's fault either. The Berman are solely to blame for their own actions. You don't need to hate yourself or the Nono because of what they've done. Besides, your power has really helped us out. The first time you showed us the light of the Nono, it was really beautiful.\\
'''Sheena:''' Thank you, Malt. I think I'll eventually be able to get over this.\\
'''Malt:''' And you know, the light wasn't the only beautiful thing...\\
'''Sheena:''' Oh, come on... You're embarrassing me... Heehee.

[[AC:"Don't Stress Out Too Much" (with Jin)]]
->'''Malt:''' Jin, thanks for taking care of maintaining all these gadgets. Seems like you're doing well again today.\\
'''Jin:''' If I don't do it, we'll all wind up dead.\\
'''Malt:''' I get it, but don't stress out too much, okay? If anything happens to you, we're all done for...\\
'''Jin:''' Yeah, but we've got no other choice right now. Same to you, are you sure now's the time to get all soft? I hope you don't come to regret it…\\
'''Malt:''' Jin...

->'''Malt:''' Jin, how's it going?\\
'''Jin:''' Not a problem. I can only take care of machines that are within my knowledge, though.\\
'''Malt:''' I was actually asking about you, not the machines.\\
'''Jin:''' Don't worry about me. I know myself better than anyone.\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, but...\\
'''Jin:''' You'd best worry about yourself. We're gonna be in a heap of crap if we can't finish this war soon. You, me, your family, everyone'll die... Just like my father.\\
'''Malt:''' You really are compassionate, aren't you?\\
'''Jin:''' What? The heck you sayin'?\\
'''Malt:''' I know what you're saying is tough, but you're only saying it because you're worried about us.\\
'''Jin:''' I'm just telling you the truth, no sugar coating here. Geez, you're drivin' me insane.

->'''Malt:''' I think I know why you're in such a rush. I think it's because you don't wish the same pain that you've suffered to happen to us.\\
'''Jin:''' If you think you understand so well, then you might wanna pick up the pace.\\
'''Malt:''' Yeah, but if we rush in headstrong and somebody gets hurt... I can't do that, I won't.\\

'''Malt:''' Yeah, because we're still kids. Sorry if I say I don't like something because I don't like it...\\

'''Malt:''' Why are you always going on about that, deciding—on your own—that you're the leader?\\
'''Wappa:''' Well, ya see, I was the leader of that band of kids near the village, so I'm just staying the leader here, too!\\
'''Malt:''' Why are you so obsessed with being the leader, anyway? Do you know what it really means to be a leader?\\
'''Wappa:''' Well, duh! The leader is the head honcho! C'mon, everybody! Follow me! It's better this way, no?\\
'''Malt:''' Huh?! I can't believe this... (If I don't do something, this could get bad...)

->'''Malt:''' Wappa, I thought about this a lot. Well, actually not a whole lot, but...\\
'''Wappa:''' So, you've decided to accept me as leader then, have you?\\
'''Malt:''' No, sorry. Reverse that. I'm declaring leadership here.\\
'''Wappa:''' Wh-what did you say!?\\
'''Malt:''' If you think you'd make a better leader than me, then prove it.\\
'''Wappa:''' Gyaaaaaaa! All I have to do is... prove it, right? That's it!?\\
'''Malt:''' Heh heh! Show me what you've got!

->'''Malt:''' You still haven't given up being leader, have you?\\
'''Wappa:''' Of course not! I have to be the leader, if not then... then I can't be me!\\
'''Malt:''' What do you mean by that?\\
'''Wappa:''' I have no parents, I've always been on my own, but it was different when I was with the kids! They always depended on me— this crazy, silly me! That's why... I have to be the leader!\\
'''Malt:''' So it's for their sake that you wanted to be the leader?\\
'''Wappa:''' Yeah, but... That probably wasn't the only reason... If I'm not the leader, then I'm just a silly, lonely orphan...\\
'''Malt:''' Then isn't it better if you weren't the leader?\\
'''Wappa:''' Huh?\\
'''Malt:''' I mean, you're not alone anymore, are you? You're one of us, kinda like a family. Plus, I really like your spirit!\\

'''Britz:''' You... want my help?\\
'''Malt:''' Don't be like that, I need your help. Unless you're thinking you don't have to because you're Berman?\\
'''Britz:''' I'm not. If it's an order, I will see it through.\\
'''Malt:''' It's not an order, but... I'd appreciate your help, a fellow comrade in arms, as they say...\\
'''Britz:''' (A fellow comrade... Is he being open-minded or just dumb...)

'''Britz:''' I don't know if you're just being curious or nosy, but you haven't forgotten that I am Berman, have you?\\
'''Malt:''' Does it matter? You're part of our crew now. I'm not going to hold back, so don't you either, okay?\\
'''Britz:''' Fine, I surrender. Even among the Berman, I've never come across anyone who's gotten so up in my face like you...\\
'''Malt:''' So, does that make me your first friend? I'm honored!\\

'''Malt:''' Sort of like me, huh? Since I'm the oldest here.\\

'''Malt:''' Oh, uhh… alright. I guess you're more stubborn than I am… Plus, I know how terrifying you can be when you're angry…\\
'''Hanna:''' Wh-why must you bring that up… You always were the only one who could make me angry, ever since we were young!\\

'''Malt:''' What can I say? I can't make "Mom" worry.\\
'''Hanna:''' There you go, teasing me again… I'm still a little girl. You just naturally make me worry.\\
'''Malt:''' I-I don't mean to… Haha. Um, so… When all this fighting is over and we can go home, let's kick back and take it easy! We'll forget all our worries and just relax!\\

->'''Hanna:''' Kyle?\\
'''Kyle:''' What? I thought we were all done with the "get along with everyone" bit.\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, goodness... But, I must say, you've changed since you first came to the village. It was about two years ago that you moved from the city, wasn't it?\\
'''Kyle:''' Yeah, about that long.\\
'''Hanna:''' I was the first of the children to meet you, wasn't I? Helping you to move...\\
'''Kyle:''' The trip from the city was the worst. I couldn't imagine there'd be other kids out in the countryside like that... I was really down in the dumps, thinking I'd be surrounded by old folks.\\
'''Hanna:''' Aw, really? Heeheehee. I suppose there are a lot of grandmas and grandpas in our village. I'm glad I was the first to meet you, though.\\
'''Kyle:''' Huh?\\
'''Hanna:''' Because otherwise, maybe you would have always disliked the village...\\
'''Kyle:''' Yeah... Right...

->'''Hanna:''' Kyle, I think you have loosened up a little recently.\\
'''Kyle:''' Ya think so? I haven't really tried to be any different...\\
'''Hanna:''' You probably haven't noticed yourself, but I think you're able to talk with the others more than before. And I think they've realized that, deep down, you're actually a nice guy.\\
'''Kyle:''' If that were true, it's probably because you told me to...\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, my. Then I'm glad I said it. Heehee.\\
'''Kyle:''' I-I mean, we sort of have to, or else maybe we won't be able to get through this war and make it back home in one piece... It might be a boring, country town, but we've gotta get back as soon as we can, to live in peace and quiet...\\
'''Hanna:''' Does that mean you've grown to like the village, Kyle?\\
'''Kyle:''' I just wanna hurry up and get back home, with you and everyone. That's the honest truth.\\

'''Hanna:''' Is it that bad...?\\
'''Boron:''' Look, I'm a bit bigger than anyone else here, right?\\
'''Hanna:''' Ohhh, Yes... You're right. Perhaps you are a little bigger.\\
'''Boron:''' It didn't really bother me back at the village, but it's so narrow in the tank, I almost get stuck...\\

'''Boron:''' And I feel like if I tell the others, they'll just make fun of me... I thought maybe you'd be able to give me some advice...\\

'''Hanna:''' You don't need to do anything! The thought is what counts, Socks.\\
'''Socks:''' Hmmm... Think, think, think, my brain! My father once told me, a truly impressive engineer is one who can produce results in troubling times as this.\\
'''Hanna:''' Umm... Is he okay...?\\

->'''Socks:''' Excuse me, Hanna... In your line of work, what is the most difficult or troubling thing you had to deal with?\\
'''Hanna:''' Eh? Well, I like doing the laundry, but I don't like carrying the clothes to the upper floor...\\
'''Socks:''' I see... It may be more efficient to think of other methods of carrying the clothing.\\
'''Hanna:''' Plus, I like cleaning, but I'm afraid I'll break machines if I touch them, and it's unfortunate I can't clean narrow spaces...\\
'''Socks:''' How about a tool that cannot damage other machines when you clean? Hmm, that might be difficult...\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, but... There's no need to worry about it too much...!\\
'''Socks:''' No! There must be a way! Give me some time and I will think of it!\\
'''Hanna:''' Heehee, okay... Good luck...

'''Socks:''' Hmm... I thought if I implemented a pulley system it would fix your problem with carrying clothing, but...\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh my gosh, you thought that far?\\

'''Hanna:''' In that case, there is a simple solution!\\
'''Socks:''' Hmm? A simple solution!?\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, it's very simple. You can help me with the laundry and cleaning!\\
'''Socks:''' Ah, I see...! I entirely failed to consider that perspective.\\
'''Hanna:''' Take half of the washing, would you? After that, would you please clean the areas around complicated machinery.\\
'''Socks:''' Hahaha! I understand! Please leave it to me!\\
'''Hanna:''' Doing housework together is way more fun, don't you think?\\

'''Hanna:''' What would you like to know this time? Another story about the past?\\
'''Mei:''' Yeah! Could you tell me about Mommy and Daddy?\\

'''Sheena:''' It's all right. I don't want to leave things this way either, so... We can talk...\\
'''Hanna:''' Thank you. In that case, let me start from the beginning once more... What happened to your mother and sister isn't because of your power... It's because of this war.\\
'''Sheena:''' But if I didn't have this power, the Berman might never have come...\\
'''Hanna:''' I don't think so. If no one wanted to start a war, we would still be living in peace. You mustn't place the blame for losing your peaceful life on your power... That's not true.\\
'''Sheena:''' I'll try...\\
'''Hanna:''' Perhaps your power can help end this war. Why not think of it like that?\\
'''Sheena:''' Thank you. I will try to think about it.

->'''Sheena:''' Hanna, do you have a moment?\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, I'm happy you feel you can come to me for advice. Can I help you with something?\\
'''Sheena:''' I was wondering if my power of the Nono can help bring a quick end to the war.\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, but I don't think that is the only special thing. Everyone is unique with their own likes and dislikes, strong emotions, and things they can do well. It's these things that give us strength. Your power of the Nono isn't the only strength you have, your love for your family is another special kind of power.\\
'''Sheena:''' I did not think this was a special power... I always thought the Nono caused us to suffer, so I grew to hate it... Perhaps I was wrong. The power of the Nono, my desire to live together with my family, this is my precious strength.\\
'''Hanna:''' That's right. And my thought of considering you a precious friend is mine.\\
'''Sheena:''' Thank you.\\
'''Hanna:''' If we can combine our efforts, we'll be able to return peace to this land... surely.\\

'''Wappa:''' Really...? I feel like no matter what I do, I can't beat you, Hanna...\\
'''Hanna:''' I think you have your own way of leading people, like how you try to stay happy and cheerful no matter the situation.\\
'''Wappa:''' I do?\\
'''Hanna:''' That's why the children from the village saw you as their leader, don't you think?\\
'''Wappa:''' Y-yeah... Maybe you're right! Heh heh heh! I understand it now! Who will be that ray of glorious sunshine to energize the crew if not me as leader!?\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, we need your help, Leader! More importantly, we must punish the one who ate all of my biscuits!\\
'''Wappa:''' I-I've got patrol duty! I'll never win against you, Hanna!

[[AC:"Healing the Body and Mind" (with Britz)]]
->'''Hanna:''' Britz, how is your injury doing?\\
'''Britz:''' If you mean from when you all saved me... It's already healed.\\
'''Hanna:''' Oh, that's wonderful. But just in case, could I have a look? Just to make sure it's healed smoothly?\\
'''Britz:''' That won't be necessary. It's my body, I should know.\\
'''Hanna:''' Don't be like that... You should get it examined properly.\\
'''Britz:''' Fine, here.\\
'''Hanna:''' Hmm, you're right. It looks like it healed quite well.\\
'''Britz:''' Like I said...\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, well... At least let me wrap it in some new bandages, just in case.\\
'''Britz:''' Oh boy...

->'''Hanna:''' Britz, are you worried about something?\\
'''Britz:''' No, not particularly. My injury has healed, so I will no longer need any bandages or medicine...\\
'''Hanna:''' Hmm, could it be you're not very happy with my medical treatment...?\\
'''Britz:''' No, it's just that... I thought it was a waste of supplies to use on me, a Berman...\\
'''Hanna:''' Please stop thinking like that. What does that have anything to do with us helping an injured friend?\\
'''Britz:''' Friend? You think... we're friends?\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, I believe all of us here are friends.\\
'''Britz:''' I wonder. You don't need to force it. It's all right if you hate me.\\
'''Hanna:''' Why must we hate you? Or maybe... you hate us?\\
'''Britz:''' I'm grateful for you helping me...\\
'''Hanna:''' Then there's no problem, right?\\
'''Britz:''' Oh boy... It's almost like my mother's scolding me...

->'''Britz:''' Ah, about helping me with my injury...\\
'''Hanna:''' Did you hurt yourself again?\\
'''Britz:''' No, it's... In the end, I thought you were quite skillful with your medical technique...\\
'''Hanna:''' It's been my dream to become a doctor. That's why I've studied as much as I can, putting what I've learned into practice.\\
'''Britz:''' I see... There are many talented Berman physicians... Once we've made peace, you should come study there.\\
'''Hanna:''' Maybe I should, although I can't imagine doing such a thing right now... But once there is peace, that would be nice.\\
'''Britz:''' When that time comes, I'll show you around... If you'd like, of course...\\
'''Hanna:''' Yes, that would be lovely. I'd love to walk the streets with you, taking in the peaceful Berman view...\\
'''Britz:''' More than just driving the Berman from Gasco, it may be difficult making a peaceful country out of it.\\
'''Hanna:''' I hope from the bottom of my heart that it can happen. It's like another dream of mine... We've gotta hang in there!

''Without its leading general, the Berman Empire withdrew and later signed an armistice.

[[GuideDangIt If Britz had a sad ending]], converse with him, open his heart, and you might find an answer for him. If you fight to the end without relying on the Soul Cannon, or rather the children's lives, the Taranis will surely respond to your needs.

\\
Like a puppet with its strings cut, the Vanargand slowly lowered its massive body to tje ground and broke apart. One by one, the fragments of its body were swallowed by the sea of clouds and disappeared. The trunk of its carcass came to rest upon what remained of Paresia. Deep inside the gaping hole where the beam of light pierced through its side came a dull metallic sound.\\
\\
Some hours later, aboard Berman airships, the Gasco Army began to search the ruins of Paresia.''\\

'''General Merlot:''' Those kids are tougher than our soldiers… They are the heroes who saved Gasco… no, the world! No words could ever express my gratitude.\\

!Developer interviews and other quotes
->''"Whenever we have an internal testing session, I always play the game myself and tell the development team what I think of it. (…) I gave them very detailed instructions on what elements to adjust. We then determined the optimal values by comparing them with the data of thirty monitored participants at the same time. Then, we began to see various trends. The results of the internal testing sessions and the results of the Japanese players' choices after release were in perfect agreement [on who to sacrifice for the Soul Cannon]— [[BigFun Boron]] in first place, [[CuteBookworm Socks]] in second place, and [[TheLeader Malt]] in third place. It seems that everyone tends to think that fat guys and glasses are not useful. In particular, Boron's fat appearance gave the impression that he was [[TheLoad the most useless]], [[BigEater the most likely to eat all the food]], and [[FatIdiot the most slow-witted]], so he often became a victim. But if you played ''Fuga'', you know that Boron is actually [[StoutStrength the strongest character]].\\
\\
"The results were different in the United States. It seems that many American players had a completely different sense of choice than the Japanese— it seems that 'fat = useless' is a uniquely Japanese viewpoint. The most frequent victims [for the Soul Cannon] were instead [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Mei]] in first place, [[CuteBookworm Socks]] in second place, and [[TheLeader Malt]] in third place. When I saw these results, I couldn't help but think, 'don't Americans have a heart?' But there seems to be a good reason for this result.\\
\\
"It seems that Americans have a closer relationship with war than the Japanese do. Firstly, the most frequent reason why Mei (four years old)— Malt's little sister— was chosen was based on the logic of, 'Children are useless in war, and the ones who can't fight will die first, so it's better to choose her than let everyone else die.' [[CombatPragmatist It's quite the calculated decision.]] Incidentally, it seems that Socks was chosen for the same reason (he appears weak), but it seems that Americans have an image of 'fat (as in heavy) = strong'. Therefore, Boron would never be sacrificed. However, the reason why Malt achieved third place was almost the same as with Japanese players— 'you're the leader, so you deal with it'— hence why Malt was put into the Soul Cannon.\\
