Character Quests

• In Samora's first character quest, Aldo chasing little fire slimes and burning his hands in the process.
• The second part of Laclair's character quest has her attempt to obtain information about a dragon from a computer in the Industrial Ruins. Said attempt includes screaming at the computer and kicking it, then being persuaded someone is stuck inside.
• Cerrine's dialogues in her quests is dripping with funny Double Entendre. Turning a delinquent into an "obedient" student? Promising him a "reward" if he behaves and "punishment" otherwise? Afterschool studies must be something...
• AS Mighty's quest has him going to school for a test, and arriving on time to boot... Only to find the whole class including the teacher is prey to a Nightmare. After kicking the Nightmare's ass and giving a small pep talk to his teacher in his dreams, the students wake up and marvel at Mighty being there... And the teacher, despite remembering having talked to him, writes Mighty up for being late since he wasn't there at the moment class started.
  Mighty: Really?! Aw man...
• Partway through Dewey's first character quest reveals that he gets easily flustered when girls give him praise or close attention. After helping out an elderly man find his stalker, it's revealed that he the manager of a women-only dormitory (whom they affectionately refer to as "grandpa"). One of his tenants told the others of Dewey's actions, and they all rushed over to gush over how adorable he is. Add in his nanomachine-powered steam-manipulation and well...
  Girls: No way! So he's an adorable detective as well as a hero?!
  Dewey: Nah, it was nothing. I... *starts emitting steam from all over*
  Girls: Oh! Look he's all embarrassed!
  Girls: Ohhh! He's going all red! He's just the cutest thing I've ever seen!
• Veina's second character quest leads her to Elzion's online library so she can continue reading her favorite epic novel. When the servers are down, Aldo and Veina have to figure out a solution, but due to being Fish out of Temporal Water, humorous misunderstandings ensue. The quest ends with her finally trying to read the ending of the novel...and she is horrified at how it ends that she finds that it's not worth reading anymore.
  • 'Every single time Veina starts talking, expect everyone around her to take a long, long nap.
• Lovely's character quests establish that while her cooking looks and smells appealing, the taste is anything but. It starts with Aldo falling into a weird dream sequence that plays out as a distorted variant of his usual start-of-day routine. The game then drives the point home with her cooking incapacitating a level 80 quest boss. A level 10 party (the recommended level for this quest) will barely scratch it, but the food-induced 5 million poison damage will certainly kill it.
  • Then in Lovely's 2nd quest, Samora and Aldo try to push off eating Lovely's terrible food off onto each other, which only encourages Lovely to feed the both of them.
• Hismena's first character quest involves a meeting that leads her companions into the dangerous Industrial Ruins. After she saves their lives, she's identified as the Blue Rose Knight, the legendary player of an MMO she used to play. Hismena's incredibly embarrassed about this, and who wouldn't be, when they are identified by a cheesy online handle they've long abandoned?
  • Hismena spends her Another Style quest dressed as her first online gaming avatar. As the quest ends, she ends up in a discussion about her outfit:
  Hismena: The more revealing the armor, the stronger it is! That's just how it works!
• Shanie's character quests:
  • Shanie's character quests have other funny moments. At the end of her third quest, the charm curse placed on her has finally been broken, so she can go out in public without enthralling every man who gets too close - but when she tries it, she freaks out because three strangers immediately declare themselves in love with her in exactly the same way that men had been doing while the curse was active. Even without magic, Shanie is just that adorable. ❤
  • In her third character quest, it is established that Shanie's fallen in love with Aldo, but chooses to remain Just Friends with him. Her Another Style character quest starts with her seeking private audience with Ratchett, who needs to tell her something important. The music fades out once Shanie declares she's ready, and:
    Ratchett: WHY... HAVE YOU MADE NO... PROGRESS ON ALDO?
  • When being told by Ratchett to wear something different that will catch Aldo's eye, Shanie's conclusion is... to take her best set of armor. Ratchett is exasperated by this, but ultimately sees no point in arguing further. In what doubles as heartwarming moment, Aldo actually finds her looking more gallant.
  • The rest of her Another Style quest has her and Aldo going on a da... day out together. Let's just say that when one half is clueless and having No Social Skills about falling in love and the other is utterly Oblivious to Love, the result is painfully hilarious to watch (and amazingly, manages to be heartwarming as well), as elaborated in instances below.
  • While eating out together, Aldo is Comically Missing the Point by saying out loud that the more people eating together with them, it would be merrier, which annoys Shanie. Then Shanie gets stomachache from eating too much.
  • Near the end of her Another Style quest, the mage who originally cursed Shanie puts the strongest version of the charm curse he can on Aldo in the hope that enough women would start swarming to cover his escape - but instead, Aldo starts attracting cats. The mage hates cats, and breaks down and begs for forgiveness, saying he'll remove Aldo's curse and never curse anyone again. Of course, he immediately goes back on his promise and tries to re-curse Shanie, but Shanie is prepared this time, and the mage is the one who ends up cursed. To attract cats.
• Radica's second character quest starts with her meeting and discovering other fortune-telling styles from one in Unigan. She leads Aldo and Radica out to Serena Coast to demonstrate her divination... and then starts darting off at lightning speed. When she's done she's completely out of breath, and comes up with a very mediocre fortune that doesn't impress either of them.
• Claude's Another Style quest starts with him discovering a woman named Cynthia who is a princess from a lost kingdom. Assuming they're both of the same lineage, they hustle off to the Last Island to attempt to revive their kingdom... only to notice a little too late that they're from entirely different kingdoms. The whole time, Claude was brandishing a large flag and Cynthia was wearing a cape, both prominently displaying the different kingdoms' insignias.
  Aldo: You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!
  Cynthia: That's it... I'm done. I'm going home.
• Renri's Another Style quest:
  • The quest has her dress up to fit into the crowd at a carnival for her mission. She arrives at the abandoned Toto Dreamland and is furious that there's definitely no carnival to infiltrate. The Chief of COA then steps in to get her to calm down... and he's also dressed for the occasion as an idol fan. Even better? He completely acts like one and Renri has to stop him from becoming too enthusiastic. This is even more hilarious considering the Chief of COA was depicted as a completely humorless Obstructive Bureaucrat in Renri's previous quests.
  • Along the way, the group encounters one of the local monsters. The Chief tells Renri and Aldo to leave the monster to him... only to get knocked flat immediately afterwards. If the following dialogue is any indication, Renri seems to be considering weaponizing it for their investigation, or at least she clearly has some mischievous ideas from the event.
    Aldo: Just go easy on the guy already, Renri...
• The Good Macky's recruitment quests:
  • In the first quest, Aldo follows the critter around the village only to discover that everyone calls it by different names, and he complains that the various names are becoming hard to track. Ultimately, it is down to the player to agree upon which name to be given to him, but what really sells it is that despite the player learns the name given by Marlowe (Horai's village mayor) first ("Stumpy"), Aldo immediately shoots his suggestion down and starts with the name given by Terry the lumberjack instead ("Meat").
  • In the second quest, the Good Macky follows Aldo to the forest, much like how it followed him to the village at first. Aldo tried to admonish it by reasoning that it would be bad to disobey its parents if they say it can't go. The Good Macky's response? Cue its usual Pokémon Speak, then a pair of Mackies appeared in the background and the Good Macky proceeded to consult them.
    Aldo: What, you've got parents?! But what if we've already defeated them in battle...
• Myunfa's third character quest:
  • Poor, poor Myunfa just can't seem to drill it to Aldo's head that she has fallen for him and is practically asking him out on a date, even when she has been blatantly obvious about it.
    Myunfa: I believe I've just witnessed the abyss of the human species.
  • The final half of the quest has been nothing but gloomy, but watching the kettle spirit that Myunfa previously contracted have none of Lord Genshin's greed and proceeding to launch him to the air (complete with A Twinkle in the Sky) in response is incredibly satisfying.
    Genshin: (while flying) Mommmmmmy—-!
• Cetie's character quests:
  • The first quest has Retro getting all friendly seemingly bonding with Aldo, only for Cetie commanded Retro to detonate itself near the end of the quest to get them out of the dire situation, to which Retro responds by dramatically bidding Aldo farewell before self-destructing. Aldo seems to be shaken and even gets upset at Clock's (and by extension, Cetie's) callous reaction... only for a new body of Retro to emerge minutes later and complains about being used for such attack. "Special task", indeed.
  • Cetie's Another Style quest introduces the Super Prototype pod to Clock and Retro, Macaron. Who is something of an Abhorrent Admirer to Cetie. When combined with Cetie being Cetie, much Hilarity Ensues as detailed below.
  • Macaron's Establishing Character Moment has her revealing that she followed "Cetie-boy" by flying all the way from Elzion Airport to Nilva, then she proceeds to take Cetie's photos as soon as she greeted him. When asked how she managed to accomplish such feat, her answer? The Power of Love.
  • When asked about her identity, Macaron loudly proclaims that she is "Cetie's cute, lovely honey". Cetie immediately becomes flustered and proceeds to tell her to "stop giving them (Aldo and the others) the wrong idea". Never mind that Cetie is a human and Macaron is a pod.
  • When it is revealed that Macaron's specs in combat and data analysis surpass both Retro and Clock's, the latter two soon experience what amounts to Heroic BSoD. And for once, the two are united against a common rival.
  • The following conversation when Cetie is about to summarize their findings from the Macminal Museum investigation, no thanks to the three pods are Comically Missing the Point:
    Cetie: Okay, so, we spent plenty of time looking around, but what we found is...
    Retro: Pfft! We found out that Macaron might have all those amazing specs, but apparently there's something wrong with her personality!
    Aldo: That's not exactly what we were trying to find out about...
    Clock: I'm surprised that you and I are finally on the same page, scrap.
    Aldo: Clock?! Were you also having issues with Macaron?!
    Macaron: Hmph! What you two do or say does not bother me at all! More importantly, we discovered that I have an enemy^note Renri to keep an eye on!
    Aldo: That's not right, either!
    Cetie: *sigh*... This is exhausting.
• Shannon's Another Style quest involves tracking down the suspect of a bomb threat. However, since it involves Shannon, it's significantly sillier than the typical scenario, with Renri playing the straight man to the shenanigans. It begins with a very half-hearted bomb threat, and after asking around, Shannon comes to very wild conclusions — that she (rather than the public) is the target of the bomb threat, and the culprit is rival idol Ashlynn. Aldo is confused at the lines of logic, but the strange part is that she's actually right. Later on, at the end of the quest, Renri gets embarrassed and Aldo tries to cover for her and compliments her, until Shannon declares that she and Aldo were already married and on their honeymoon. A clueless Aldo is then pressed for questions by both the Drone and Shannon herself before the screen fades out.
  Shannon: Hm? Aldo! How could you say something like that in front of me, your wife?
• Thillelille's third character quest involves her coming to terms with a notice of demotion on the basis of exploiting the people of Ratle. When she's ready to accept her fate, the priest stops her, and gets her to re-read the notice: the demotion's for Prai. Furthermore, it's a two-fold misunderstanding — the supposed "exploitation" was from the Sentinels misinterpreting his sermon, admiring his great physique, and then going on a strict training and diet regimen for their "muscle prayers". Thillelille is flabbergasted at this, and even though the priest recognizes the benefits he has unwittingly given the Sentinels, he continues with Prai's demotion anyway.
• Victor's character quests:
  • Victor's second character quest has him meet the Mayor, who he's acquainted with. Out of nowhere, the Mayor speaks very dramatically and puts his all into a swing of his cane as if they were sparring. Aldo is utterly perplexed.
  • In the same quest, while Victor and Aldo are accompanying the Mayor out, they encounter a goblin along the way. The Mayor's response to the supposed non-threat is by firing his ultimate Kamehame Hadoken move to the single goblin, which Aldo finds to be over-the-top. When asked by Aldo why he needed to go through such lengths, the Mayor simply stated that "it may turn into mini-goblins" the moment they don't look, and Aldo has no rebuttal to his answer.
  • The following line in the end of Victor's third character quest, simply by the virtue of Aldo uncharacteristically running away while screaming for the Mayor to help him.^note The entire quest basically reveals how Victor stopped aging and the reasoning behind it, and by extension why he always calls himself a "former" adventurer. Following the events of the quest, however, Victor decided to ditch the "former" part and make a new chapter of his adventure with Aldo. Considering how he tends to treat adventures like pre-penned story though, Aldo is nowhere as enthusiastic as Victor is, and in the previous quest this is noted to be one of the things those annoy the Mayor of Baruoki regarding Victor.
  Aldo: GRAAAANDPAAAA! HEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEE!
• In Yipha's second character quest, the usually Nice Guy Aldo uncharacteristically goes into Deadpan Snarker mode after giving his reasoning on why he feels the need to go with Yipha to Rinde - namely, to ensure she doesn't cut corners with her rituals this time, only for Yipha to call him out on his tendency to stick his nose on other people's trouble^note which turns into Hypocritical Humor by the time of the third quest, since Yipha herself reveals that if there is one thing she actually enjoys doing as a priestess, it is listening to other people's troubles and helping them out.
  Yipha: I know I'm in no place to say this, but there's really no reason for you to always get involved in other people's trouble. I don't think anyone could complain if you just dealt with your own problems.
  Aldo: Yipha... (pauses) If I'm being honest, I'm having trouble thanking you...
  Yipha: That was harsh! *sniff* I guess I've got to hurry up and deal with these strange happenings if I want to get your trust back.
• Tiramisu's Another Style quest gets interrupted by Suzette barging into the scene. But it's not because the Princess of the Netherworld wants a duel with the dragon summoner — she's mistaken Tiramisu for a movie star, and believes that she's a better fit for the protagonist of the movie that's being "filmed". After a silly three-round "duel", Tiramisu proposes a proper combat, but that gets interrupted by real dragons stirring. After Tiramisu demonstrates her own dragon summoner powers, she decides to continue with the interrupted duel... but Suzette backs out with the excuse of the local patisserie's new cakes on preorder, which fellow Sweet Tooth Tiramisu agrees is Serious Business.
• Aisha's character quests show that while her music do carry certain power that can empower others, she is also very much a Dreadful Musician. How dreadful she is? It gets to the point that both Salamander and Undine combined immediately go Screw This, I'm Outta Here the moment she is about to do another rehearsal in the Purgatory. Yes, you heard that right. Her music manages to terrify the Phantom Elementals because it's just that bad and powerful.
  • Also the curse Aisha has been trying to uncover that has made her so anxious? It's just the terrible twos. Because despite her looks, she's only two months old.
• Moonlight Hismena's initial character quest shows that she has No Sense of Direction and is a bit Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense. Even the quest objectives snark about it.
  Go to the airport to get to the Industrial Ruins, somehow.
  Return to Elzion. Don't get lost.
  Follow the girl to the Industrial Ruins, properly this time.
• Sesta first character quest has her getting irritated when an Elzion civilian that she and Aldo saved badmouths Aldo, and she is determined to show that Aldo is awesome. Her solution to that? Disguise herself as Aldo to act as his Body Double... whom she impersonates perfectly except for his face. And she sees nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, her complete lack of common sense means she also completely fails at impersonating him because she acts nothing like him at all, and it only results on Elzion citizens calling EGPD due to her causing nuisance.
• Azami's 2nd character quest highlights how she is developing a crush on Aldo, who remains oblivious as ever. It gets to the point that little girl can recognize the two are in love. It gets to the point that in Azami's AS quest, she decides to help by direct Azami to a being who grants wishes, conveniently omitting that this being is a love god.
• In Premaya's Devotroid quest, she finds herself having to explain her childlike Split Personality to Feinne and the Mayor in terms people from their era would understand. Cue Premaya picking some very unfortunate words. They, as well as the eavesdropping May, Darunis, and Nomar react accordingly.
  Premaya: There is a baby inside me.
• Unlike the normal Dunarith, Dream Dunarith proves himself to be about as unreliable as one would expect from your designated "spoony bard".
  • His first character quest has him roping an unknowing Aldo into paying for his tab. When Aldo tries to confront him, it turns out that he is not the only one who has to clean up for Dream Dunarith's mess — a restaurant owner from Rinde chased him all the way into Unigan because he keeps racking up his tab. When being confronted about it, Dream Dunarith's response is:
    Dream Dunarith: That's the thing! The fact I've got people paying for me proves I don't have money in the first place!
  • The third character quest has normal Dunarith trying to confront him for the tabs he kept racking up because Dunarith ends up being a scapegoat for his antics, to which he proceeds to escape before eventually running into Mazrika. When Mazrika learns the situation about the Alternate Self thing and sees normal Dunarith, she proceeds to question whether he truly is Dunarith because of how reliable he is, which Dream Dunarith takes offense to.
