Alright, and now some miscellaneous dialogue quotes that most people won't know about unless you dig around for them. First is the Demo Reel at the start of the game (translated by Bookofholsety)!

FE4 HIDDEN DEMO REEL SCENES (GEN 1):

First of all, note the brand new Title Screen in Bookofholsety's patch...



Pretty neat, eh? And if you wait on that screen long enough...



You start getting all these scenes from various parts of the game! They're all somewhat generic at first...but remember how FE6 and FE9 allowed you to unlock different Trial Map characters every time you cleared the game? Well, THIS Fire Emblem does the same thing; except, instead of unlocking characters, you unlock scenes in the demo reel. We'll see every non-spoilerific scene in a few screenshots; but for now.



We'll stick to the ones we usually get. This one plays immediately after the scene with the Pegasus Knights (who are flying around the Chapter 8 map). It is then followed by...



The very first random Battle scene you get. This is one of the two that you automatically start with; if you have NEVER beaten the game before, you will always get this one first. There are 15 others "1st Battle Scenes" that you can get, along with 16 "2nd Battle Scenes" that can play before the Demo Reel ends. You'll keep unlocking them one-at-a-time after every time you beat the game. Beat the game all 15 times, and the game will randomly select a "1st Battle Scene" and a "2nd Battle Scene" from two separate lists.

Fortunately, I don't need to beat the game 15 times, for I have discovered the Address that kept track of that number! Just bunch in the number 15 in my emulator, and viola; instant unlocks! Next up...



We have credits featuring the world famous SUPER ADVISOR HIMSELF!! I don't know what the heck a "super advisor" does, but it sounds awesome. And then...



Surprise! That one scene from Chapter 1! Except THIS time, Shanan's gained a habit of repeating himself, repeating himself, repeating himself...



More credits...



And then we get to another kind of random scene; the "1st Map Battle". In addition to getting one random "1st Battle Scene" and one random "2nd Battle Scene" each time you enter the Demo Reel, you'll also get a "1st Map Battle" and a "2nd Map Battle". However, I wasn't able to get all of them, as THAT entails getting an AAAA Rank, and I lost the file that had that.

Fortuntately, these ones aren't quite as interesting anyway; they just feature some occasionally nifty stuff like Sigurd vs. Langbart, Gandolf vs. Midir, Cuan vs. Eltshan...and etc., etc. No dialogue though; so we're not missing anything.



Not that the credits themselves are terribly interesting, but oh well. We got...



Eltshan and Lachesis! Hey dudes, I was just talking about you!



And now we've got our 2nd Battle Scene...



This is the generic "2nd Battle Scene" that all first time players get. Once again, the fifteen others must be unlocked by beating the game 15 times; and once again, they're all more interesting than this one (though I do wonder how that Dragonmaster's only got 16 Might with a 20 Might weapon...).



Next up, an Assistant who apparently has five different alter egos ...



One of the sixteen other "2nd Map Battles" (though I don't have a clue who the blue guy is; there are no bard units in Gen 2)...



And there's the semi-final scredits. Once that plays...



We see Alvis summoning all chefs in the Barhara BBQ.



DARN YOU, YOU STUPID DASTARD :ARGH: !!



[Oh, and there's our last credit; Gunpei Yokoi himself. He used to be a very important figure in Nintendo, but then died in a tragic accident. You can thank him for the Gameboy, among many other things. And apparently, he was also a close friend to Shozou Kaga; I don't know if his death in 1997 was one of the factors that pushed Kaga to leave the company in 1999, but, maybe Onmi can shed some light on that.



Anyway, let's look at some of the OTHER "Battle Scenes", shall we?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Alec and Noish! ...With far too much dialogue for textboxes that were clearly meant to only last a second or so.



Seriously, this is NOT my fault! I did not push a single button, nor did I have the game going at a faster speed!



No...I think I briefly mentioned this at some point in the thread, but I don't like Bookofholsety's script as much as I like Boo's script.



The official NoA localizations are great, it's nice to have 100% translated text for once, the font looks good, and I'm sure there were plenty of mistakes made in the 2002 patch...



But it's just too dang wordy!



Look at this! Bookofholsety crammed so much dialogue into the above scene, that you barely have time to read any of it! The guy shrunk the font size to about 75% of what we have in the Reparation patch, and it STILL almost filled up the textbox!



And not all of it is even good dialogue either; a lot of it seems like filler that would have been ironed out by an editor had he had one.



For example, "Ayra! Ayra, don't go! Don't give in to these guys! Don't let them boss you around!" should have just been "Ayra, don't go! Don't let them boss you around!". And lines like...

Ayra: I understand. But be warned, Kinbaith: if you break your promise, you'll deeply regret it. Cross me, and I will pursue you to the very depths of the inferno itself, till I take your head. Remember this well!

Would've been much better if shortened to something like...

Ayra: Ayra: Good. Because, Kinbaith: you break your promise, and I will break you. I won't stop till I've ripped off your head and fed it to the BIRDS! Do you understand?!



I've brought this up in the relevant thread on Serenes Forest; in fact, I practically rewrote all of the Prologue and Chapter 1 to be more in-line with the example I gave above. But, I'm unsure as to whether or not BookofHolsety will ever be in the mood for script editing. He's busy with University right now, so he may not even look at the patch for a while yet. But anyways...



Sigurd vs. Alvis is also featured here. I don't know why they're hiding Alvis's stats, but he's clearly weaker than he was in the Prologue; and that's inspite of being 5 levels higher.



And...yeah. There's OUR wife healing our mortal enemy...though it is nice to know that she's got her doubts about the whole thing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, that's all the relevant battle scenes! All but one of the other ones from Gen 2; and the one that isn't...happens to be a massive spoiler. Sorry I was late on this; I'll be sure to have the other parts of this uploaded right quick! God bless you all!
