Pioneer 2[edit | edit source]

Zidd

Are you <hero name>? I'm Zidd.
I asked a young hunter, Ash, to do some research on Ragol.
He's supposed to be done with the job by now, but he hasn't returned yet.
Perhaps he got himself into some trouble...
So I want to ask you to go to Ragol and rescue him.
Not by yourself. Please go with that hunter over there.
First of all, can you bring him here?
I'll talk to you later.
First of all, can you bring him here?
I'll talk to you later.

Kireek

Are you <name hero>? It's the first time I've had a partner.
Zidd asked me to do this job first.
Unexpectedly, he told me I'd have to work with someone else...
I had to say YES as he is my client…
[If you try to proceed to the teleporter…]
Speak to Zidd first.

Zidd

Hello again, <hero name>.
He's Kireek, your partner for this quest. He is a HUcast.
He's a pro. Perhaps you can learn a lot from him.
Kireek, I know you are unhappy, but I need two hunters for this.
One has to retrieve the data disk that I asked Ash to get.
The other is to help Ash return here if he is injured.
This is my personal agenda. It has nothing to do with business.
Ash is my cousin.  I don't want to lose him. Please understand.
       

Kireek

......
I have no choice.

Zidd

What are you doing here? Please hurry up and find Ash.
Good luck.


Forest 1[edit | edit source]

Kireek

Prepare yourself for the savage creatures of Ragol.
If you're close enough, a cursor shows you which enemy you can attack.
Don't let them surround you!
Be careful.
Even if you defeat one group, another one may be hiding near you.
Watch the radar. Prepare for the battle so you don't get surrounded.
That's a door switch. Press it. The door should become unlocked.
In some areas, you must defeat all the enemies to unlock the door.
Perhaps it's a security reason...
Other doors can be opened through switches.
Arms and protectors have attributes.
Learn to link attributes to enemy types.
Monsters around here are all native animals. Practice on them.
Techniques also have attributes.
Learn the attributes if you want to survive.
If you're with your teammates, they'll watch your back.
If you're alone, try to change the view often to look around.
What's wrong? Is it difficult to hit the enemies?
  • [OPTION 1:] Yes, very…
All right.
I'll teach you some of the basics.  Stop and listen to me.
First of all, there are three different types of attacks.
"Attack" is a fast striking move, but it's not very powerful.
A charged "Heavy Attack" is more powerful, but it can be easily dodged.
"Extra Attack" generates a special power from your weapon.
Understand?
You can do up to 3 combo attacks if you attack rapidly.
This is a simple tip to help you increase your hit rate.
How do you choose which attack to use?  Judge it by the enemies you face.
Make sure you survive.
Try some attacks when you see some monsters.
  • [OPTION 2:] No problem.
All right. It's OK as long as you aren't a liability.
<hero name>, did you learn the trick?
Two easy "Attacks", then a critical "Heavy Attack" as a finishing blow.
This is one example.
One can also use Techniques.
Techniques use up TP, but they always hit enemies.
Unfortunately, androids can't use Techniques. I envy those who can.
Here's a simple battle tip...
Be mindful of the colors during the battle.
The cursor color above the enemy is a hint on how to attack an enemy.
<hero name>, look at the Action Palette. See the outline colors?
Notice that the cursor color has a matching Action Palette color.
So a red cursor means press the red Action Palette key/button.
Got it?

Ash

Wh...who is it!?
I don't know who you guys are, but be careful...
They're...still hiding around here.
......

Kireek

I can hear something... A growl...?

Ash

[If you talk to him again without picking up the disk…]
The disk? I think... it's near the monsters.

Narration

Got the data disk!


Pioneer 2[edit | edit source]

Zidd

[If you return to Pioneer 2 after obtaining the data disk but before aiding Ash…]
What's this disk!? That's not what I asked!
What about Ash? Find him!


Forest 1[edit | edit source]

Ash

(breath) Thank you....
Wha...?  Zidd?
Now I know why you guys are here...  He always treats me like a kid...
I completed the quest, but suddenly, they attacked me here.
Monsters appeared and I dropped the disk.
I couldn't do anything.
How vexing...!
I appreciate that you guys came to save me, but I…

Kireek

I'll take this boy with me.
You deliver the disk to the client.  Then we can finish this job.
<hero name>..., train yourself.
Become much stronger to impress me...
Ha, ha, ha...


Pioneer 2[edit | edit source]

Ash

Thank you. I'll keep practicing!

Zidd

Kireek already left after receiving the Meseta.
Phew...
I have never seen such an intimidating android.
It was like that android was built for battle.
This must be the disk that I asked Ash to find.  Thanks.
Ash is enduring the pain, since he won't go see a doctor.
You can get your reward at the Hunter's Guild. Thank you.
You can get your reward at the Hunter's Guild. Thank you.

Ash

By the way... Who was that android?
On the way back here, it was like hell...
That...android butchered the monsters... Blood...
