I've dug up some interesting battle text that was never used in the original game. I'm referring to text you see at the top of the screen within a battle when an enemy talks (ex: "Ooh I'm hungry!"), or when a special message needs to be conveyed to the player. These are preset text scripts. I don't have a perfect knowledge of the game, so it's possible for me to list some quotes that really are used. Feel free to point those out! smile.gif Some of this stuff is really interesting, so check it out. Spaces inbetween sentences can be one of three things; a return to the next line, three periods "...", or just a space.

"Get away! Or I'll thrash ya!!"
"It can't be! I'm invincible!!"
"Dadaluma whistled!"
"Revived"
"Steal your GP!"
"Guwooo!"
"Pa. pai. Ooouch!"
"Bugobo Guwaaa!!"
"Guwooo!!"
"You bloody theif! I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Enemy's combat ability: A"
"Doom Gaze became mute! Can't use Ice-elemental attack!!"
"Cut Doom Gaze's poisonous claw! Can't use "Poison" attack!!"
"Doom Gaze was cured of injury! "Doom" recovered!"
"My mission is"
"A fellow traveler!"
"What's wrong? You look ill. Can I be of assistance?"
"He's coming to take control of us!"
"Mwa ha ha You can't run!"
"Adding up enemies' attacks!"
"Red Dragon called its pal! Ice Dragon summoned!"
"White Dragon called its pal! Red Dragon summoned!"
"Storm Drgn undergoing changes!"
"Gold Dragon begins to store energy!"
"Dirt Dragon got mad!"
"Skull Dragon lives on magic pwr!"
"Remove "Reflect""
"Eek!"
"Ack! My body's disappearing!"
"Guardian called his pal!"
"Cyclone attack"
"I ain't ready ta go yet."
"Enemy's combat ability: B"
"Enemy's combat ability: C"
"Doom Gaze was cured of injury! Ice-elemental attack recovered!"
"Doom Gaze became blind! Can't use "Doom"!!"
"Mwa. ha ha Humans and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction I bring you terror I am Czar Prepare yourselves!"
"Effect of "Rflect" vanished"
"Such strength! Incredible"
"Ice Dragon called its pal! Skull Dragon summoned!"
"Storm Dragon called its pal! Dirt Dragon summoned!"
"Dirt Dragon called its pal! Gold Dragon summoned!"
"Gold Dragon called its pal! Storm Dragon summoned!"
"Skull Dragon called its pal! Blue Dragon summoned!"
"Blue Dragon called its pal! Dirt Dragon summoned!"
"I I'm This can't be"
"Beware ! Go away !"

This next quote is in the game but I'm guessing that most people miss it. If you're fighting Ultros and Chupon on the airship for a long time Ultros says this:

"Ultros: I was drowsing the other day when Mr. Chupon gnawed on my head! He needed something to polish his teeth on!"

Mwa ha ha, you can't run! is a Nerapa quote.

Remove "Rflect" is used by either SrBehemoth or Red Dragon I believe, perhaps both, as they, along with Skull Drgn, are the only enemies with the remove reflect Special.

That's the only nitpicks I have.

Probably was supposed to be an Ultros quote. I remember him saying it for some reason.

Quote (i90east @ 4th December 2003 15:08)
"It can't be! I'm invincible!!"
"Ack! My body's disappearing!"
"I I'm  This can't be"

Those look like they were supposed to be Kefka quotes in the Final Battle

Quote (i90east @ 4th December 2003 15:08)
"Steal your GP!"

I'm pretty sure they used that. One of the monsters in Zozo.

Quote (i90east @ 4th December 2003 15:08)
"Guwooo!"
"Bugobo  Guwaaa!!"
"Guwooo!!"

Proposed Gau quotes, I guess

Apparently the Doom Gaze battle was meant to be more complex than it was

"Dadaluma whistled!"

Doesn't Dadulma use this to call some lackies to help him fight?

Either a scripted battle involving Relm (I remember her saying this for some reaon) or the Phunbaba battle when he beats up Terra

I'm guessing the battles in Locke's scenario were supposed to involve unsuspecting victims.

Quote (i90east @ 4th December 2003 15:08)
"He's coming to take control of us!"

Looks like it would go with the Narshe battles or an esper battle (Ifrit and Shiva?)

Those are part of the Czar script, are they not?

I sure wonder what Guardian's "pal" is. Does anyone have any clue?

Edit: Concerning the dragons, this quote also pertains to the Czar dragon:
"Mwa. ha ha Humans and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction I bring you terror I am Czar Prepare yourselves!"

This is Czar's battle script:

--------------
Lore: Battle
End
--------------

Most of the quotes are not in any monsters' script.

Thanks for the analysis Dark Paladin. smile.gif

"Pa. pai. Ooouch!"

Mog maybe? Well... he would have to be an enemy then. Hmmm...

Quote
"Dadaluma whistled!"

Since they created the sound effect "whistle", this text wasn't needed.

I have two ideas. First, there is a battle formation with 4 Guardians. However it would be impossible to display 4 monsters of their size correctly. My other idea is that Io is Guardian's "pal".

By script I meant stuff that that enemy says in battle. I guess the czar doesn't say anything?

It looks like Square had planned to put him in the game originally but changed their minds. They created the text for Czar and created his sprite (the palette swap of Doom Drgn), but they never created his battle script. Battle script code takes a lot of space. There is only a certain amount of allocated disc space for battle scripts. Since they decided against putting him in the game, there was no sense in keeping his battle script (if he ever had one).

Now the only way to create enough room for a Czar Dragon battle script (and any other custom monster) is to delete parts of other monsters' scripts. For example this command "Battle or Battle or Nothing" takes a lot more space than "Battle". In other words it takes less space to have a monster attack 100% of the time than 66.67% of the time.

Depends on who's patch he's using.

You can't fight CzarDragon without a hacked game.
