Opening Dialogue

Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Oh huzzah! You're back! You're back to save this Outrealm once and for all! So I've got good news, and I've got GREAT news! What'll it be?
Chrom: Well that's a switch... What's the good news?
Old Hubba: I managed to gather all the Einherjar you defeated back in those ruins. Beat them one last time, and I can finally seal them back in their calling cards!
Chrom: Excellent. And the great news?
Old Hubba: There's no army relying on you this time! No allies to get in your way or die on you! It's just you and your party against allllll those legendary soldiers! Isn't that great?!
Chrom: ...Fantastic.

Before Battle Starts

Soren: All of our soldiers are in position.
Ike: Then let's commence the attack. Give Micaiah the signal. Tell our other units to wait until their doors open.
Soren: Consider it done.
Mia: It's not like you to be so cautious, General. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just storm at them the way we usually do?
Soren: Not if we want to assure victory. It's said there's an expert tactician among the enemy ranks. This way we can keep our movements secret until it's too late for them. They won't know which doors will open or where to expect an attack from. First we sow fear and confusion—then we move in for the killing blow.
Ike: Right. We may outnumber them, but we still have to be smart about this. Soren's strategy will work. Understand, Mia?
Mia: Yes, sir.
Sothe: Micaiah, Ike's given us the signal.
Micaiah: Then let's move on to the attack. Ready, Empress Sanaki?
Sanaki: Of course. Come, everyone! The final battle is upon us!
Chrom: I sense trouble behind those doors...
Avatar: Chrom! Enemies to the south! They're heading this way!
Chrom: What? Then if there ARE enemies behind the doors here...
Avatar: We'll be trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Chrom: Damn... We're surrounded? Why wouldn't they attack us en masse?
Avatar: They're probably waiting for the right opportunity. Perhaps they plan to send wave after wave to whittle away our morale...
Chrom: And our strength in the process. This will be a tough fight.
Avatar: True. But look at it another way... They're committing a major tactical error by funneling their forces. As long as we stay calm and focused, we can pick them off one unit at a time.
Chrom: Good point. And we might be able to get the drop on them by opening the doors first.
Avatar: Now you're thinking.

Special Conversations

Enemy Conversations

Avatar vs Roy

Roy: Why do you trouble this land? You have your own realm!
Avatar: Actually, I'm fairly certain it's you who— Ugh, what's the point. Only force will sort this mess out!

Avatar (Female) vs Lilina

Lilina: What do you hope to achieve here? Just let us go about our lives!
Avatar: All I hope is to put this realm back to— Ugh, why bother? She won't listen. ...My purpose here is to defeat you. That's all you need to know!

Chrom vs Ike

Chrom: We will defeat you and restore peace to this world!
Ike: I believe that's my line. Come on!

Lissa vs Mist

Lissa: Would you stop running amok?! We can't go home until you stop fighting.
Mist: That's your problem! This battle would be over if you hadn't come here!

Frederick vs Titania

Frederick: As lieutenant of the Shepherds, I cannot allow you to stand in Chrom's path!
Titania: Second in command, are we? Let's see if you're worthy of your title!

Sully vs Lucia

Sully: Why the hell are you resisting? You know we're going to walk all over you.
Lucia: I would never betray my mistress—nor will I lose to the likes of you!

Virion vs Wolt

Wolt: This land belongs to us. Go back to your own world!
Virion: I am afraid I cannot do that. This land must be freed. And I, the noblest of emancipators, shall see it done!

Stahl vs Seth

Stahl: Look, I just want you to know that we're not here to conquer you.
Seth: Why else would you come armed to the teeth? Spare me your lies.
Stahl: ...Well, it was worth a shot.

Vaike vs Matthew

Vaike: Hey now, who's this tough guy? You want to go a few rounds with Teach?
Matthew: Not really. Leila wouldn't approve of me toying with you while I'm on the job.

Miriel vs Lute

Miriel: Would you like to fight?
Lute: I don't mind, but why ask first? You might have fared better with a sudden, unexpected strike.
Miriel: Ah. Indeed, swift victory could be mine, were that my primary objective. However, what I really seek is feedback. I can't evaluate my fighting if I level you at a stroke!

Sumia vs Elincia

Elincia: Stranger from afar, I demand that you leave this place! Answer now, or we will settle this with steel!
Sumia: As you c-command, milady! ...I-I mean, no! We can't!
Elincia: Very well. Steel it is, then!

Kellam vs Sophia

Kellam: Sorry to have to do this, but you're all that stands between me and home.
Sophia: That explains why you're fighting...but why are you picking on me?
Kellam: Oh! I, er, guess because you're the only one who actually noticed me? Sorry...

Donnel vs Nephenee

Donnel: Gosh, you're purdy. How come you're out here fightin'? ...Why so silent? Not big on chattin' with your foes?
Nephenee: I don't want people to hear my country accent.
Donnel: Huh? ...What was that there? I couldn't quite make it out. ...Ack, what? Why are ya glarin' at me like that?!

Lon'qu vs Amelia

Lon'qu: Away, woman! Come no closer!
Amelia: You have a problem with women? It's about to get far worse!

Ricken vs Innes

Ricken: Be warned! I hit as hard as any man twice my age!
Innes: Really? Then I'll have to hit back even harder.

Panne vs Zihark

Panne: Prepare to feel the wrath of a taguel, man-spawn!
Zihark: I'd never wish to fight your kind, but if you attack me, I have no choice..

Gaius vs Eirika

Eirika: I ask you now: leave. I would do anything for this fighting to stop.
Gaius: "Anything," huh?
Eirika: Yes! Just name it.
Gaius: ...Nah. I can't take advantage of such an easy mark. Look, the truth is, we have to defeat you. End of story. Sorry. .

Cordelia vs Nino

Cordelia: I won't die here! My fallen sisters haven't called me to their side yet!
Nino: Well, you're mistaken if you think a Black Fang like me will die instead!

Gregor vs Brom

Gregor: Why not put weapon away and go home? You...not seem very much like warring type, yes?
Brom: But I gotta fight! ...Unless you're gonna pack up and go home first?
Gregor: Sorry, this Gregor cannot do. Well...nice to be knowing you!

Nowi vs Leonardo

Leonardo: Are you sure we can't work this out in a nonviolent way, lass?
Nowi: We could be playmates.
Leonardo: Uh...that might be going a little too far.
Nowi: Fine. Violence it is!

Libra vs Lyon

Lyon: We were meant to rule this land. Do not interfere!
Libra: I beg to differ. The cards have something else in store for you

Tharja vs Micaiah

Micaiah: Begone from this realm, outsider!
Tharja: Ha! Not a chance. Why would I leave when there are tough little birds like you to torment?

Anna vs Serra

Anna: So, I've got this sweet arrangement with a dashing noble... Why don't we stop fighting and go rub noses with the rich and handsome?
Serra: R-really? How handsome? ...Wait. How dare you play with my emotions like that!

Olivia vs Florina

Florina: Listen, if you'd rather fight someone more capable, I understand.
Olivia: Oh, not at all. You'll do just fine. Are you ready?
Florina: Yes, thank you.
Olivia: You're quite welcome!

Cherche vs Sigrun

Cherche: Why do you fight? Is there no way for us to settle things amicably?
Sigrun: I fight to defend what is dear to me. So as long as you threaten it, this fight is inevitable.

Henry vs Soren

Henry: Ooh! You look dangerous. But you should probably clear out of here before I mangle you and stuff.
Soren: Your threats are only words. If you're an enemy of Ike's, you're my enemy, too.

Lucina vs Lyn

Lyn: Will nothing convince you to leave? I don't want to fight you. Not while I still have doubts...
Lucina: I respect your feelings, milady... But we cannot leave our business here unfinished. You have honor and character... I shall make this quick!

Say'ri vs Mia

Say'ri: Warrior! I challenge you to a test of blades. Do you accept?
Mia: Now that's how you start a fight! I accept!

Tiki vs Eliwood

Tiki: Please, stop this madness. You have no hope of winning.
Eliwood: I'll stop only once we have driven you from our realm!

Basilio vs Karel

Basilio: Ho! This guy looks bloodthirsty. Maybe I'll just slink out of sight...
Karel: Not so fast. Once you stand in my path, you don't get to run away. Not when the feast is just about to begin...
Basilio: "Feast," huh? Scary. All right. But don't cry to me later. I tried to spare you!

Flavia vs Cecilia

Cecilia: This is our land, our kingdom! Return to your own.
Flavia: Sorry, love, but this isn't musical chairs. We have a duty to fulfill, and part of that is defeating you.

Gangrel vs Lugh

Gangrel: Run home to your mommy, boy, before you slip on your own piddle.
Lugh: I don't have a home or a mother... Not that I plan to run away!

Walhart vs Ashnard

Walhart: A man as lost as you will never turn me from my path.
Ashnard: Really? Nonsense like that requires more persuasive evidence!

Emmeryn vs Sanaki

Emmeryn: Nn...ahh...
Sanaki: I pity you for all the hardships you have clearly endured. But you must understand I cannot stand down from this battle.
Emmeryn: I...am not afraid...

Yen'fay vs Zephiel

Yen'fay: I was a ghost of a man when my comrades found me... But by striking down their foes, I can atone for my errors!
Zephiel: Atone? Aren't you a sad sight. A strong man does not lament the past. He makes the future!

Aversa vs Sephiran

Aversa: Ooh! What a man. I'll bet you're a screamer. Shall we find out?
Sephiran: Try me. You'll be surprised all right.
Aversa: Oh! And so confident, too. I'm going to enjoy this...

Priam vs Marisa

Marisa: Leave, or I will drop you where you stand.
Priam: Are you sure? I think I still have some friends of yours stuck to my boot.

Owain vs Sothe

Owain: You must have great skill if you targeted me, fiend. But be warned! My power emanates from a wellspring deeper than time!
Sothe: ...Did you want to fight or not? I don't have time for games.
Owain: All right, all right. Don't go!

Inigo vs L'Arachel

Inigo: How I wish to get to know you, milady! Are we doomed to meet only in battle?
L'Arachel: Yes. That's the idea.
Inigo: *Sigh* The truth stings all the more from the lips of one so lovely

Brady vs Moulder

Moulder: So long as the gods grant me breath, I will not tolerate your foul language!
Brady: Oh yeah? Well, go kiss a wyvern talon, you long-winded bag of prayers!

Kjelle vs Hector

Kjelle: Sir, might we put this battle aside for a moment and speak of armor? I never dreamt that chain mail and plate could go so well together.
Hector: Are you mad? If you won't leave this land, then you will fight me now!
Kjelle: ...Very well. But try not to squirm! I don't want to put any unnecessary dents in that lovely armor of yours!

Cynthia vs Perceval

Perceval: Withdraw your forces, or face the might of our army.
Cynthia: Oh yeah? Well I'll... I'll... Rats. I used up all my witty retorts in the last fight.
Perceval: ...Your what?

Severa vs Edward

Edward: You there! This is your last chance to leave in peace!
Severa: What is that, a threat? You can't threaten me! I'm—
Edward: Charge!
Severa: Aah! You could at least let me finish my sentence!

Gerome vs Geoffrey

Geoffrey: Masked warrior, return to the world you came from. Free yourself from a life of shame—a life of hiding who you are!
Gerome: You've got it all wrong. I chose this life!

Morgan (Male) vs Ephraim

Ephraim: Surrender now, and I promise you no more blood will be spilt.
Morgan: Well, I'm all for no bloodshed, but the fact is—you need to go. I don't suppose it's as simple as just asking, though.
Ephraim: Obviously not.
Morgan: Then fighting it is. Let's settle this quickly.

Morgan (Female) vs Jaffar

Jaffar: ......
Morgan: Um...doesn't your face cramp up from glaring at people like that? Look, you want to really scare me? Smile. I'd die from the shock. ...Or at least say something before we fight. It's tradition!
Jaffar: ...Silence.
Morgan: Hey! You did it! NOW this fight is official. I was starting to worry...

Yarne vs Nergal

Yarne: Come, thug! Let's see you tackle a taguel!
Nergal: Ha! As if I have anything to fear from some mangy half-man!

Laurent vs Raigh

Raigh: Hah. I can already tell you're not half as strong as you look.
Laurent: Can you now? Usually I lay someone flat BEFORE I decide how strong they aren't.

Noire vs Black Knight

Noire: HA HA HA! HOW LARGE AND IMPOSING YOU ARE. ...NO MATTER! I SHALL ENJOY PLUCKING THAT VISOR FROM YOUR SHADOWY FACE!
Black Knight: Bold words. You had better hope that's not empty courage.

Nah vs Shanna

Shanna: Just give it up. You're hopelessly outnumbered and you know it!
Nah: I'm not battling the numbers. I'm battling you!

Closing Dialogue

Battle End

Avatar: Finally... That's the last of them.
Chrom: Gods, I thought it would never end. I was almost ready to give up...
Avatar: Me too. It was a pitched battle... We're lucky to have even survived.
Chrom: Perhaps now this realm can finally enjoy a little peace and quiet... Let's go home, Robin.
Avatar: Wait, Chrom. I found this where their main force had assembled.
Chrom: An Einherjar card? "Lyn, Noblewoman of Sacae"... This must be Lyndis from the Elibean legends. We could use someone like her on our side!

Lyn Recruitment

Lyn: So that's it. I lost. It feels so unfair... Are you the enemy's tactician? ...Wait, what?! It can't be... Are you... No, that's impossible... I'm sorry. It's just...you remind me of someone very dear to me. A tactician, like you, who came to my aid time and again. This might seem like a silly question, but... Have you ever awoken in a strange place, uncertain of how you got there?
Textbox: Have you ever awoken in a strange place?
Lyn: [if 'Yes' is chosen] I knew it! It happened three times to the man/woman I knew. This can't be pure coincidence. ...Unless, of course, all tacticians are known to collapse by the wayside.
Lyn: [if 'No' is chosen] Really? That surprises me. I thought I was on to something... The tactician I knew often tended to pass out and wake up elsewhere. That's how he/she and I met. It was strange, to say the least...
Lyn: I am Lyn, of the Lorca tribe. Would you tell me more about yourself? Where were you born? Have you been to my world? ...What? You can't remember? Now I'm even more certain that you're the man/woman I know. Look at me carefully, and really try to think back. We met on the Sacae plains. We fought with Eliwood and the others... Does none of this sound familiar?
Textbox: Does Lyn's story sound familiar?
Lyn: [if 'Yes' is chosen] Really? Then you remember! It's really you! Oh...I'm so happy! I thought... I thought we'd never met again. ...I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry. I'm just...overwhelmed. Give me a moment... ...Thank you. I feel better. Listen. Come back to Sacae with me! Can you just picture the others' face's? ...What? Unfinished business? All right. Then please, let me join my strength to yours. I'll cut down any foe who dares stand in your path!
Lyn: [if 'No' is chosen] That's...too bad. Maybe you're not the person I thought. But still...you know what? I want to help. Take me with you. Even if you claim you aren't the man/woman I knew, I want to judge for myself. I'm good with a blade. Keep me by your side, and none shall harm you.
Textbox: Recruit Lyn?
Lyn: [if 'Yes' is chosen] You'd let me travel with you?
