WARNING: Spoilers are off on Funny Moments pages.
- Pretty much every time Lea puts on her smug expression.
- Emilie's enjoyment of the laser bridges, and dislike of non-laser bridges.
- Captain Gerald "Jet" McFly of the M.S Solar runs a tight ship, and takes everything from the daily maintenance to an attack by a rogue, god-like Avatar in even stride. The only time he losses his composure is when he learns a hostile force is deploying minions below deck.Captain Jet: He's putting even more crap into our cargo hold?!
- Moments of Lea being a Silent Snarker are quite common, but sometimes even Sergey doesn't get off easy when he adds more words to her vocabulary. One highlight is after the First Scholars' initiation, when he adds "Why?" and "How?". So naturally Lea just keeps asking 'why' to mess with him. And then promptly puts on her smug expression when saying it for the third time.Sergey: I regret adding this word already.
- Emilie doesn't like bugs. At all. The game plays this up for all it's worth.
- In the Temple Mine dungeon...They're everywhere! Under the rocks! In the walls! On those tiny platforms they expect us to stand on! Why are they doing this to meeeeee!?
- And in Faj'ro Temple...Moths! Giant Moths! With Laser Beams! WHY?!?!
- The boss of said dungeon is a colossal, fire spewing moth that could rip Mothra in half. By the time Emilie stumbles out of the boss room, she's damn near catatonic.
- If you have Emilie in your party during the "Pumpkin Land Superfun" quest, and get to the end, The Boosi Man explodes, revealing bug monsters you must fight. Emilie stares for a moment, and when the fight starts she starts screaming.
- Sure, you could just waltz on through Sapphire Ridge without antagonizing the massive beetles infesting the area, like Emilie asks you to. But what fun would that be?Emilie: Please… just… just leave it alone. Let’s just ignore it and go on. Quickly, please.
[you attack anyways]
Emelie: NOOOO!!! NOT THE BUGS! [it stands upright] WHAT IS THIS, ARE THEY WALKING?! [draws swords] ARE THOSE SWORDS?! WHY DO THEY HAVE SWORDS!? I DON’T UNDERSTAND! - Several frantic bug duels later...Emilie: You're not going to stop punching them any time soon, are you?
Lea [matter-of-factly shakes her head]
Emilie: WHAT IS THIS!? SOME KIND OF SHOCK THERAPY!? - And then, after all of the above melodrama, she waltzes right into a giant spider's den without a care in the world. Why does she manage this without freaking out? Because spiders aren't bugs.C'tron: I thought you hated bugs! I just saw those Samurai beetles drive you crazy!
Emilie: Spiders aren't bugs, Tronny. You of all people should know that.
Lea: [with an "are-you-serious" expression] Why...
Emilie: You guys think too much. Come on! Let's punch some massive spiders in the face! - Of course, there's the aftermath of the fight with the Vagabond, who's a samurai.Emilie: [catatonic] Bug... Bug Samurai... Bug Samurai Boss... [frowning] ... [puzzled] Or... Was he just a Samurai? I'm not sure... Maybe his armor just made him kinda... look like a bug?
C'tron: Well, actually... traditional samurai armor is already bug-inspired, so...
Emilie: [exhausted] Shut up, nerd.
- In the Temple Mine dungeon...
- One enterprising Shad in Ba'kii-Kum is trying to reactivate an ancient liquid processor below the settlement. One would assume that he's trying to provide for his community or uphold his ancestor's legacy. But nope! He just wants to make some really, ''really'' good booze.
- Fortunately for Lea, the pre-scripted Non Player Characters don't react to her limited vocabulary, although it does a real number on the immersion;
- Lea's priceless reaction
◊ upon realizing she's a Horned Humanoid.Carla: Don't tell me ya' didn't notice the horns til' now, Lea?
Lea: (Death Glare)- Yes, there is actually a story behind the horns; they're the results of Sergey trolling Shizuka gone awry.
Deckhand: You're not happy with [the horns], are you? I can only imagine who stuck them on you in the first place.
Sergey: (Not-So-Innocent Whistle) - During the meeting about the Raid, Emilie literally EXPLODES with excitement, Instant Matter flying everywhere.
- Throughout the game, Lea braves the fury of kaiju sized robots, ancient guardians, and god-like avatars. Yet no danger can surpass the wrath of a five year old child!Lea: (manhandled by a toddler) Lea Hi Lea Wait Bye Why!?
Deckhand: See? An avatar should only weigh about five to ten KG at most.
Isabella: Can I throw her?
Deckhand: Sure! Show us some muscle!
Lea: WHY!? - Lukas' insistence that the messy room in the Vermillion Wastes isn't his. Lea proceeds to go around the room with a smug smile, or looks of disapproval, to his woe, until she doubles over laughing.
- During the tower section of the Vermillion Wastes, Sergey tries brute-forcing Lea through the dungeon, as she doesn't have time to finish it. After creating the first square, Lea steps on it, flies into the air, powers up... and rockets face first into the floor. All Lea can do is let out a Big "WHY?!", to which Sergey sheepishly apologizes.
- Later, Lea has to go sideways through the dungeon. Unfortunately Sergey forgot to adjust the routine for sideways jumps, leading to Lea slamming straight into the wall.
- In the endgame town Rhombus Square you'll often find yourself relying on the ongoing traffic for more than a few puzzles. What you may not expect is a rare chance for one of the cars to be drifting, blasting eurobeat over the background music, and screaming past without so much as a warning.
- In the "Last Minute Help Needed" sidequest, Lea has to keep rescuing a reckless Triblader who keeps aggroing every enemy he can find. The Last Minute Hero guild leaders, Wervyn and PuellaDocta, admit they have to save this player a lot. During the last battle, the Triblader reveals he was aggroing all those beetles in order to farm enough materials for trading. He also reveals he didn't upgrade his equipment since Ba'kii Kum. By the end, Wervyn is so exasperated that he decides to stop rescuing the Triblader.
- At the start of the quest, when Wervyn and PuellaDocta are talking to Lea, if Emilie is in her party, there is special dialogue that serves as a Brick Joke...
Wervyn: Unfortunately, we're currently short-handed.
PuellaDocta: Yeah, everyone's distracted now that the new "Laser Bridge Builder" has just been released.
Lea: ...
Emilie: Whoa?! It has?! I... I gotta go for a second! (Logs off, and when she comes back after the conversation is over...) Non... Too expensive. I'll wait for a sale.- And if Emilie is in the party during the last battle? She will freak out about the bug samurai again.Triblader: Somebody heeelp! There are way too many of them!
Lea: WHY?! HOW?!
Emilie: PLEASE WHY SO MANY BUGS AGAIN CAN I PLEASE HAVE A BREAK?!
- In the part where Lea is attempting to call everyone she knows to meet in the HQ using her new word, Lukas shows up. When Lea asks him to "meet" in the meeting room, Lukas asks why she's asking her to meet in private "so soon." It takes a few seconds for Lea to realize the implications, prompting her to scream "WHY?!?!" Lukas laughs and tells her that he's just messing with her.
- A similar scene occurs with the evotar Lukas in the DLC if you decide to visit him while he's in his bedroom. He asks if Lea has any "ulterior motives," which instantly prompts a reaction from Lea, causing her to flee the room and apologize.
- A brief moment of levity in an incredibly emotional scene - the farewell scene as Lea is about to log off, possibly for the last time, has her hugging everyone she's gotten to know over the course of her adventure. When it's Joern's time to get a hug, Lea instead just crashes face-first into his armored torso.
- The trial of patience. It's very simple, wait until the bamboo strikes the rock twelve times, then hit a switch. Unfortunately, the game is going to conspire in every conceivable way to distract you from counting. The pipe will start to act up, bugs will start hitting the bamboo shoots on the cliffside so you can't play it by ear, pandas will fly in front of it, and party members will talk about very incorrect numbers to throw your count off. And if you bring empty the party, Sergey will try and help by adding a counter for Lea... only to badly program it, to the point that it NEVER shows the right answer.
- The sidequest "An Unfortunate Series Of Features" is another long string of hilarity, with poor Sergey as the Only Sane Man involved. It starts when Kit reveals her real avatar, and then goes on from there.
- Poor Sergey is wondering who the hell designed the secret testing area, which is a Frankenstein's Monster of assets from Maroon Valley and Ba'Kii Kum, calling it a "monstrosity". He figures it was the work of some overconfident interns.
- Once you've finished the jumping puzzles, Kit just clears the whole thing with a jump-cancel glitch, which she calls JADC. Hilariously, this is an actual glitch that was never patched out (specifically, jump-dash cancel), though it is tricky to do. If you do it yourself first, there's special dialogue commenting on it.
- The boss of the testing area is a hilarious monstrosity that is literally called "DON'T USE THIS". That's when Sergey remembers who made the entire area and the boss itself. The boss is literally two eyes and a random platform, and will use all sorts of weird attacks, including firing Shokats from a finger gun.
Sergey: Oh noooo! Not THAT thing! I remember the people who came up with this. It started as a little joke that escalated. And it ended with this mess of a boss fight that breaks the majority of our design guidelines. But they were really proud of their creation, so of course they would just hide it somewhere!- At the end, Sergey asks Lea to never do this sort of thing again. Lea's reaction implies she has no intention of promising that.
- New Game Plus comes with new dialogue and character portraits that make reference to whatever changes you've implemented in the new game. Kept your level from your last playthrough, or jacked up your experience modifier? Apollo will react radically differently, and will be fully justified in being upset that no one seems to mind. Give yourself absurdly high damage for every attack? Everyone will be shocked and horrified, and Lea will be sporting a Guts Grade Slasher Smile whenever someone makes mention of it or of how she's about to walk all over whatever enemy or boss is in her way. It's incredibly entertaining to watch, and makes playing through an entire game on what is effectively God Mode well worth the price of admission. And the fun is just starting.Sergey: (nervous) I-It was just a little experiment! Seeing if I could somehow tamper with the damage output in a secure way.
Sergey: (disappointed) ... and I forgot to comment out that part.
Carla: Sergeeeeeeey!!
Lea: (smiles) ..!!
Sergey: (nervous) Oh... Oh no... I do not think I can undo this...
Lea: (very happy) ..!!
Carla: Congratulations, sir. You've created a monster.
Lea: (grins menacingly) ...!- C'tron is at most surprised by Sergey Hax and his reactions leans more toward him believing it was a bug. But once Emilie gets into the party, he makes the mistake of pointing it out in front of Emilie:
C'tron: (smiling nervously) Lea sure does a lot of damage, right Emilie?
Emilie: (dead inside) Oui...
C'tron: (smiling nervously) Makes you feel kind of... Irrelevant.
Emilie: (dead inside) You get used to it.- Even Shizuka is completely blindsided by the Sergey Hax.
Lea: (grins menacingly) Bye.Shizuka: WHAT?! WHAT WAS THAT?!Shizuka: WHY DO YOU DO SO MUCH DAMAGE?! YOU'RE EVEN MORE FAKE THAN I EXPECTED!!Lea: (grins menacingly) ... - At beginning of the DLC, Sergery appears with Satoshi and gives Lea a little quiz to test her memory. The last question he gives asks if she remembers who she's an evotar of. The options are A: Emilie, B: Shizuka, or C: Satoshi. Satoshi responds with a Flat "What".
- Lea finally gets the chance to do the Raid once more. Unfortunately, just like last time, Buggy messes up the blocks at one point. Not only he fails once, but twice which causes the game interface to speak for everyone's frustration at the moment by making the Task information section write in bright red 'Buggy what the heck?!' for a second before correcting itself.
- The entire sidequest fighting against a Fourth Wall Breaking ninja named Sao. After the last defeat, when Sao complains that he's a better character than Lea, RadicalFishGames opts to kick him out by making him explode. Lea is left stunned by it.RadicalFishGames: Alright that's enough. You're out!
Sao: W- (explodes)
RadicalFishGames: Guest characters. For crying out loud.
Lea: ...? How..? - In the "Lost and On the Run" quest, Priel will become increasingly frustrated with Reize getting lost due to his bad sense of direction. By the time he finds his way to Rhombus Square, he aggros an army of high level monsters that he fed cheat items too while he was lost. After the monsters are dealt with, Lily points out that Reize could have used the game's warp feature to get to Rhombus Square from anywhere, causing Priel to rage. As the cherry on top, Reize gets anticlimactically banned for using the cheat items.
- On the day after finishing Ku'lero Temple, Shizuka can be added as a party member. If Apollo is also in the party, he'll be excited by the prospect of having a team of three Spheromancers, but Shizuka finds his enthusiasm annoying. Eventually, she admits that the only reason she's in this class is because as a QA employee, she playtested the Spheromancer class and never bothered switching, disappointing Apollo who was hoping to meet a fellow Spheromancer enthusiast.
- After Ku'lero, contacting Buggy on Directlink will result in him donning the same mask as Sidwell and briefly pretending to be the latter. He admits this is actually an easily bought cosmetic item, which the real Sidwell most likely bought too.
- That is however far from the only funny interaction with Buggy, the guy's as random as his nickname implies. He may pretend to be the First Scholar's answering machine, or to be working into a burger joint delivery line, or just pops up on the wrong side of the D-Link window to scare Lea. And outside D-Link, he even tries jumpscaring Lea after an instanced fight in Ku'lero, but due to the nature of it he can't tell where she will pop up.
- In the DLC, when Shizuka finally logs in the first thing she does is pay a visit to Lea and ask her if she wants to visit Satoshi. When they get there, of course, he's working as usual, and Shizuka tells him of how that can't be healthy for him even if he's an Evotar. The moment he tries getting up to prove his resilience, he flops on the floor and promptly gets up, causing Shizuka to remark he really needs to get out and get some fresh air.
- The DLC's ending gives us the ultimate invention to help Lea "talk", the Lea-Board. But she still needs to learn more words.Emilie: Whoa! Cherie, finally you can communicate! Tell me all your hobbies! Right now!
Lea: ...!
...
(shuddering)...
Can't... find... words
Emilie: Noooooooooooooooooo~- When demonstrating the Lea-Board, Lea at first says "[Hi!] [Lea!] [Why?]" which are all words that she can already say.
- Lea and Luke taking a stroll around the beach, and then they bring up the subject of swimming and whether that could be implement. Lea's answer is to whistle and use the Lea-Board to say "[SWIMSUITS]", laughing when he gets flustered.
- Then when she learns that the game does have swimsuit skins, but Evotars can't access them, Lea gets frustrated and claims "[DOUBLE STANDARDS]".
- Emilie, C'tron and Lea having an Ice Cream, and wondering if they could have the ability to taste virtual food. Emilie brings up the idea of Lea trying out Roquefort Cheese, and C'tron jokes saying that they would need to remove pain inhibitors for that to be experienced in full.
- The last enemy you REALLY fight? RadicalFishes.
- For 2021's April's Fools they released ManLea as a Skin DLC. Complete with exaggerated anime expressions mugshots and cutscene sprites, something neither the Holiday Hat nor the Kunoichi Skin had. The Skin even changes the DLC's ending CG to show ManLea flexing.
