* One late game quest involves helping a Wrothian ironworker fulfill his lifelong dream of forging the ultimate sword. It's clearly very SeriousBusiness to him, as he's spent 40 years and 10,000 failed attempts on it. When you bring him the materials he needs, he finally tells you why this sword is so important to him: Because swords are [[RuleOfCool AWESOME!]] He immediately runs off to Cauldros and [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome nearly gets himself killed, because not once in those 40 years did he actually learn how to use a sword.]]

''' Boz&eacute''': Shall I refer you to my stylist?\\

'''Irina''': You're going to be ''singing'' like one if you keep that up.

-->'''Dialogue Box:''' Say that you're [[IncrediblyLamePun the sharpest BLADE in the drawer]]. [[note]]If you choose this option, the person you're talking to immediately [[LampshadeHanging points out]] how bad of a joke it is.[[/note]]

* Rook and Tora's shocked reaction at the revelation of Mia [[HasTwoMommies having had two fathers]] at the end of her Affinity Mission.

* Another quest involves an Orphe attempting to learn to tame beasts like the Prone, in order to protect himself. Along the way he befriends a group of other xenos, and when he ultimately fails to subdue the indigen he sought, they promise to help him as his friends: the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Prone]] can beat up anyone who threatens him, the [[ProudScholarRaceGuy Ma-non]] can provide answers to any questions that haunt him, and the [[ProudMerchantRace Nopon]]... can lend him money. This is punctuated by their respective affinity links changing to "Can be his strength", "Can be his wisdom", and "Can be his wallet".

-->'''Dialogue Box:''' [[http://i.imgur.com/AxxWS94.jpg Rub your fingers together like you're playing the world's smallest violin.]] [[note]]For the record, the ''other'' option is "Roll your eyes waaaaaaaaay back into your head". Evidently, [[ButtMonkey Tobias gets no respect]] ''[[UpToEleven even from the game.]]''[[/note]]

'''[[BaldOfAwesome Bozé]]''': Shall I refer you to my stylist?\\

** [[spoiler:This gets slightly less funny when you learn it's justified. Apparently Rook just got creative when they were designing their Mimeosome. It's only as strange as having bright pink hair. It becomes another kind of funny when it sets up some implications as to [[CloudCuckoolander what was on Rook's mind when they were designing their Mim in the first place]] since they'll be the only on-screen Mimeosome with a skin tone that isn't a shade of brown. And even more ideas will crop up once Yardley's modification pod is unlocked.]]

*** At the start of the semi-final story mission, all of the original options from the previous mission intros will have been used up. Whatever the player chooses for the last cooking decision, [[spoiler: Lin will come the closest she has ever had to cooking Tatsu and is actually shown simmering him in a pot (and he seems to be enjoying it too). This was shown in the European ad listed at the beginning of the page.]]
* When asked about his father, Tatsu's cheerfulness slips, leading the player to reach [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest the obvious conclusion]]. Reaching the end of the quest reveals the truth: [[spoiler:Tatsu's father is alive but working to pay off the family's debts. [[MythologyGag As this year's Heropon, he's required to kill some ancient gods to get paid]].]]

** Then there is his father's glasses. [[spoiler: They're a pair of TriangleShades!]]
* Your first personal encounter with the Wroth is a largely dramatic scene [[spoiler: seeing as you're forced to surrender and lay down your weapons.]] But, as always, [[ComicRelief Tatsu]] [[MoodWhiplash suddenly makes it funny again]] [[spoiler: by laying down his NerdGlasses and revealing that he has squinty ( 3_3) eyes.]]

** This questline is HilariousInHindsight when you consider [[spoiler: that everyone is a mimeosome and hers might be malfunctioning in some manner that breaks any other electronic devices close to it.]]

** Choosing "Elma" leads to this gem of a response (contains Chapter 5 spoilers):
---> '''Elma''': That's... interesting. You know I'm not a pet right? So why on Earth would you even say that? [[spoiler: Perhaps this is another symptom of the damage your mimeosome suffered in the crash. I'll make an appointment for you at the Mimeosome Maintenance Center and request they perform a disassembly so they can analyze your components. Oh, don't worry - its a routine procedure for severe mental damage. I'll personally make sure they do a thorough job of cleaning out your skull.]]

* L's second Affinity Mission, "The Nopon Heir" has you gathering materials for Tora, who says that the heir to the Nopon business was suffering a serious illness, and requires you to fight against powerful enemies such as Millesaurs in Primordia and even [[spoiler:Telethia, the Endbringer--the Level 99 Tyrant that saved your team in Chapter 6 and requires the best gear to even have a chance of beating it otherwise--]]to get materials that they drop to create a Legendary Nopon Remedy. What happens at the end? Turns out, [[spoiler:this "Nopon heir" is Tora himself, and that this "serious illness" is just a case of bad gas after overeating]]. The team is not amused, especially not Tatsu.

** And at the end, [[spoiler:he again misinterprets Lyn saying that he is part of the family as her saying that she is his wife. Lyn has serious objections to that]].
* One mission involves you having to help a female Prone revive a sacred tree using a seed that she took with her from her homeworld. After finding a self-proclaimed botanist Orphe, he helps her revive the tree as a sprout. [[spoiler:...Only to eat it mere seconds later. What happens next is her punching out the Orphe, completely from the POV of the victim himself. After this misunderstanding is cleared up and the tree is revived once more, yet another Orphe runs in from out of nowhere and eats the newly-revived tree sprout. She punches him out in the same manner as before]]. Amusingly, this is the "bad ending" to the mission ([[spoiler: the "good ending" requires telling the other Orphe nearby to not eat the second sprout before planting it]]), but a lot of players prefer this ending because of what ensues (it also helps that this is one of the few "bad endings" that doesn't result in any otherwise-preventable NPC deaths [[spoiler: unless you count the second tree]]).
** Once more, if you talk to the initial botanist Orphe after the mission has been completed, [[spoiler: he's apparently come to realize that he is a [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} masochist]] and wants to get punched by the female Prone again.]]
* Rook and Tora's shocked reaction at the revelation of Mia [[spoiler:[[HasTwoMommies having had two fathers]]]] at the end of her Affinity Mission.
* There's a quest at the Nopon Caravan in Oblivia in which BLADE member Milly has you look for a cure for a sick Nopon, and then later track down the Nopon's boyfriend who went looking for a cure himself. When they are reunited, you see the sick Nopon for the first time... [[spoiler:She is HUGE, over twice the size of regular Nopon. She is so big that she bumps into her boyfriend and sends him flying clear over the horizon! The baffled Milly's response is to ask if you could track him down once more, to which Rook just puts his hand on his thigh and shakes his head]], ending the mission.

* During Mia's recruitment mission, the party comes across [[spoiler: a Definian who's doing a [[BadImpressionists very poor job]] of impersonating Mia]]. Cross just stares at them with a bored/annoyed expression. Even funnier when you realize that [[spoiler: completing "Definian Downfall" is one of the prerequisites for doing this recruitment mission, meaning that not only are you in the Definians' main base camp, [[HereWeGoAgain Cross (and the player by extension) should be very familiar with the Definians' tactics by this point]].]]

* Hon'barac from the quests concerning the nature of the Ovah mentions that the Nopon have been coming to him in order to obtain it for themselves. His fear that they are primitive enough [[spoiler:for it to infect and thrive inside him]] makes him decide to tell them that their [[{{Greed}} life savings will also be cut in half]] each time they split.

** When you take the bracelet to Jeshero, he tells you that cutting the gem for the bracelet will be very expensive. His price? [[spoiler: Ten pizzas]].

* One late game quest involves helping a Wrothian ironworker fulfill his lifelong dream of forging the ultimate sword. It's clearly very SeriousBusiness to him, as he's spent 40 years and 10,000 failed attempts on it. When you bring him the materials he needs, he finally tells you why this sword is so important to him: [[spoiler: Because swords are [[RuleOfCool AWESOME!]] He immediately runs off to Cauldros and [[RealityEnsues nearly gets himself killed, because not once in those 40 years did he actually learn how to use a sword.]]]]

* A Wrothian has a female human cornered in an alley, and wants a sword. The female human is scared out of her wits, [[StabTheSalad until]] it's revealed that the Wrothian [[spoiler:wants to be a baker, and his sword will be his [[MundaneUtility cooking knife]].]]

** Alternatively, if you ''do'' decide to kill her, the next mission in line, "Definian Love", is a massive breather, as the Definian Lyvia wants to find a friend. [[spoiler:They all end up being dumped, as Lyvia falls for the player instead of the chosen suitor, Lyvia shows her true form, and the suitor is often heartbroken, indifferent, or ''scared shitless'']].

* One of the sidequests involves a woman who purchased a lotion from a Nopon merchant that caused her to lose all of her hair. This can lead the Nopon to attempt to gather the ingredients for a cure, and he somehow manages to strand himself in a cave on a floating island in Oblivia in the process, requiring you to rescue him. The real kicker is when you finally free him and he obtains the ingredients he requires: [[spoiler: while he was off gathering ingredients, the woman who had lost her hair suddenly remembered that she's in a mimeosome and simply got herself new hair at the Maintenance Center, [[ShaggyDogStory rendering the entire quest unnecessary]].]]

** Once more, if you talk to the initial botanist Orphe after the mission has been completed, [[spoiler: he's apparently come to realize that he is a [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} masochist]] and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar wants to get punched by the female Prone again.]]]]

** Choosing the "Dogs" will instead have her comment on Rook having a "dog-like quality" and "good-natured obedience." One could interpret this as her indirectly calling the player ''a bitch.''

** [[spoiler:This gets slightly less funny when you learn it's justified. Apparently Rook just got creative when designing his Mimeosome. It's only as strange as having bright pink hair. It becomes another kind of funny when it sets up some implications as to [[CloudCuckoolander what was on Rook's mind when they were designing their Mim in the first place]] since they'll be the only on-screen Mimeosome with a skin tone that isn't a shade of brown. And even more ideas will crop up once Yardley's modification pod is unlocked.]]

* Before the last battle in the mission "The Duel (Part II), right as Gi Zang is about to say his line, he bites his tongue, twisted dialogue included. The best part about this is that the battle music stops.

---> '''Yelv''': Damn, Irina. You don't fight like a girl.\\

---> '''Yelv''': So, Irina, you don't fight like a girl.\\

* During Mia's second heart-to-heart, she seems to be planning to break into Sakuraba Industries. You have the option to try knocking her out to stop her, which [[NotSoAboveItAll most party members will approve of.]]

** Then there is his father's glasses. [[spoiler: [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann They're a pair of Kamina shades!]]]]

'''Alexa''': I don't love Camber, I love his ''Skell''!

* One late game quest involves helping a Wrothian ironworker fulfill his lifelong dream of forging the ultimate sword. It's clearly very SeriousBusiness to him, as he's spent 40 years and 10,000 failed attempts on it.

** HB posing [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]].

** When you take the bracelet to Jeshero, he tells you that cutting the gem for the bracelet will be very expensive. His price? [[spoiler: Ten Pizzas]].

-->'''Female Mature''': These Miran winds aren't very compatible with my hair.
-->'''[[BaldOfAwesome Boze]]''': Shall I refer you to my stylist?
-->'''[[MarriedToTheJob HB]]''': Wow, that's relevant. Can we go?
-->'''[[DaChief Nagi]]''': I seem to recall the director general having the same complaint.
-->'''Gwin''': Yeah, you look like an old broom! [[OhCrap (beat)]] No, wait! Don't kill me!
-->'''Male Warrior''': Men are like stones, smoothed by the tide of battle.
-->'''[[TokenEvilTeammate Murderess]]''': You sure men aren't the tides?
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Lao]]''': Philosophy, great.
-->'''[[HeterosexualLifePartner Yelv]]''': Is that fortune cookie for "better luck next time"?

---> '''Lin:''' ...... NOT ME! THE DOG! Seriously? Is that how you think of me? Like I'm just some...some PET?!

-->Nan'celeg: IT'S ALL ON YOU, BRO! YOU ARE THE BEST! BRING NEN'CELEG HOME AND YOU WILL BE A LEGEND FOREVER! OH YES, BRO!
-->Nan'celeg: I trust you are now sufficiently motivated.

-->'''Gwin'''" Yeah, you look like an old broom! [[OhCrap (beat)]] No, wait! Don't kill me!

-->'''Tatsu''': Says the guy who needs a whole team to help him ask out a girl!
