-->'''Ryota:''' How could I lose? What am I going to say to the empress?... "I am sorry, but of the two of us, the dog was the superior tactician."

'''Valder:''' There's no sense in whining about your loss. ...[[NotSoAboveItAll Why am I talking to a dog about sense? Why am I talking to a dog at all?]]

-->'''Ryota:''' Great. Now how am I supposed to explain this to the empress? "I'm sorry your highness. I tried my best, but the dog was the better tactician."

* The entry on the Sneaker, the Floran Thief unit, describes their recruitment process - A floran found to be stealthy enough for the job is presented a polished coin, and asked "On a scale of one to ten, [[StickyFingers how badly do you want this very shiny object?"]] If the floran answers ten [[UpToEleven or higher]], they qualify to be a Sneaker.

* One of your rewards whenever you beat arcade mode is that you get the theme of the character you played added to the jukebox. When you move the cursor down to a character's theme that's been unlocked, you can see them ''dancing.'' Ragna easily has the best one; '''she's headbanging to her theme.'''

-->'''Sigrid:''' ''Idiot.''

[[folder:Campaign]]

* The Outlaws campaign has Wulfgar come to blows with the true nemesis of the outlaws... [[BigFriendlyDog Caesar]].
-->'''Wulfgar:''' He's the epitome of aristocratic tyranny! He's a gilded, dallyin' prince armed with the biting maw of an elite and distant peerage, beholden to no-one, feastin' upon ''the bones of those crushed beneath the yoke of serfdom''!
-->'''Orla:''' ...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint To be fair, da, all dogs like bones]].

[[folder:Arcade]]
* Koji, upon finding the ancient weapon at the end of his arcade mode, declares that he knows what to do with it. Cut to him up in the clouds, perched on a HumongousMecha version of Tenko as they step across the screen, with a familiar purple glow at the center of the mech's chest.

* Caesar's arcade mode is generally hilarious because all the commanders end up being defeated by a dog in a nice uniform. Ryota's quote when being defeated really sells it, however:

'''Greenfinger:''' You should make like a tree, and leave.\\

'''Dark Mercia:''' Don't call me a]] PaletteSwap.

* Koji, upon finding the ancient weapon at the end of his arcade mode, declares that he knows what to do with it. Cut to him up in the clouds, perched on a giant Tenko as they step across the screen, with a familiar purple glow at the center of the mech's chest.

-->'''Caesar:''' ''*whines*''
-->'''Valder:''' There's no sense in whining about your loss. ...[[NotSoAboveItAll Why am I talking to a dog about sense? Why am I talking to a dog at all?]]

** And finally, at the end of the campaign, [[spoiler:after the commanders have journeyed into a giant volcano, gotten past their own brainwashed armies, and overcome Requiem in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, the guard is [[RunningGag still chasing after her]]!]]

* Nuru is less than impressed upon seeing [[spoiler:Elodie and Requiem]] for the first time.
-->[[spoiler:'''Elodie:''' The weapon I bear is [[EvilWeapon Requiem.]]]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Nuru:''' ...It's a cello.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Elodie:''' [[TheComicallySerious It is a bringer of ruin.]]]]
* In the final confrontation, [[spoiler:Elodie effortlessly subdues the protagonists with MindControlMusic, leaving them powerless to defend themselves from what will almost certainly be a CurbStompBattle... Only for Ragna to [[VillainousRescue charge in from nowhere]], still dripping with seawater from her previous defeat, and belt out an indignant rant about wanting to find Sigrid and kick her ass for leaving her to drown. Ragna's screeching ends up breaking the trance everybody is under, allowing them to square up and fight Elodie properly.]]
** How is [[spoiler:Ragna convinced to join in on the battle? Valder simply tells her that Sigrid has already been beaten and that now they're fighting Elodie, without any context as to why or how or even who Elodie ''is.'']]
--->[[spoiler:'''Valder:''' Sigrid betrayed us. Mercia killed her. That wraith is our enemy now.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Ragna:''' **{{beat}}** ...Oh. Okay. LET'S CRUSH HER!]]

* Koji, upon finding the ancient weapon at the end of his arcade mode, declares that he knows what to do with it. [[spoiler:Cut to him up in the clouds, perched on a giant Tenko as they step across the screen, with a familiar purple glow at the center of the mech's chest.]]

** [[spoiler: Princess Elodie's]] response to being confronted by Caesar in the first place is also pretty humorous. She's at-first, understandably taken aback at a dog being out to find Requiem... then she redoubles her resolve to stand up against any who come to claim it... no matter how shaggy.
** The ending of his arcade mode [[spoiler:has Caesar holding a conversation with an EnemyWithin conjured by Requiem and defeating it, thus destroying the weapon for good, through sheer force of will. The entire conversation is held entirely in Dog.]]

-->'''Valder:''' There's no sense in whining about your loss. ...[[NotSoAboveItAll Why am I talking to a dog about sense? Why am I talking to a dog at all''?]]
* During Ragna's ending, after she [[spoiler:uses Requiem to conquer the continent]], she is confronted by the defeated Mercia:

* Valder's ending has him [[spoiler:draining Requiem in a dramatic fashion, super-powering his own ArtifactOfDoom... Que the undead rising from the grave all across Aurania and doing... Absolutely nothing they weren't doing while alive.]] The final scene has a pair of peasants happily chatting in Cherrystone's capital, [[spoiler:one of them being undead and the living one commenting that the undead are really nice once you get to know them.]]
** When the scene cuts to show [[spoiler:the rising dead of the Gloomwoods, we simply see a skeleton running away from a quagmutt hungering for its bones.]]
* In Greenfinger's ending, [[spoiler:the elder banishes Requiem, but not before briefly blacking out due to the surge of magical energy. When he comes to his senses, he discovers to his dismay that his GreenThumb powers were overloaded by the relic; the entire continent of Aurania is covered in a thick, endless forest that sprang up within seconds. While the other races are frightened by the sudden terraforming and Zawan himself is ashamed, the florans of Zawan's tribe are absolutely ''delighted.'']]
-->[[spoiler:'''Slasher 1:''' North is sssame as south! East and wessst, too!\\
'''Slasher 2:''' ''YAAAY! FOREST PLANET!'']]

* When a unit captures a building, the action screen shows them running through the open door to occupy it. When Koji does it, however, [[spoiler:his giant-sized mecha [[RealityEnsues can't fit through the doorway]]; instead Tenko collides with the overhang and falls over, losing its head from the impact. Koji is then forced to dismount and enter the building on foot.]]

'''[[spoiler:Dark Mercia]]:''' [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Don't call me a]] PaletteSwap.

* In yet another callback to ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'', Floran ships are described as ramshackle, poorly-built contraptions mostly reclaimed from the shipwrecks of other empires, and by all reckoning they shouldn't be able to ''float'', let alone ply the seas. [[AchievementsInIgnorance And yet, they do.]]

** Sedge, meanwhile, dances [[MichaelJacksonsThrillerParody the Thriller.]]

-->'''Valder:''' There's no use whining about things, this outcome was inevitable. ...[[NotSoAboveItAll Wait, why am I telling you this? Why am I talking to a dog?]]
