Okay, I guess from now on if I want to beta I'll have to completely log off and not do the updates directly into a post but instead do it all offline & just in a separate Notepad file first...
Animal PersistenceWell, it does indeed seem as though multiple NPCs have lines from different options, some of them are kind of hard to spot because the lines are so different or else don't mention certain things specificially, but the window actually closes for a second (well, closer to half a second or something) and then opens the other option's dialog...I'll list as many as I spot...
In the Residence connected to Crono's house, this one's kind of obvious when you read it...
Really, what could Porre do if they
attacked Guardia? The Vanguard would
stop them, and if not, Medina and Choras
would get involved.
I'm concerned. I've got my things
packed in case Medina and Porre get
nasty. Well, no offense to the Vanguard
or you guys, but...
Hey, I just noticed, but there's no Poyozo note at the Truce Market (but the desk still says the note when you interact with it)...anyways...
At the Truce Inn..,The guy at the bar (not the armored one), this one isn't obvious as two parts except for the close & opened text window between the lines...
Medina's relationship with Guardia
makes Porre feel surrounded by
hostility on all sides. Cornered dogs
attack.
The Mystics never did lilke the Vanguard,
and amazingly, they've allied with
Porre. What are we supposed to do?
Much the same with the waitress there...
I'm glad Medina is still reasonable. We
get our share of Mystic customers,
strange tastes and all.
Ugh, these soldiers! They just blast in,
spill their drinks, and fight their way
out!
And the guard at the table behind the piano player (a little more obvious, especially with the odd break after only 2 lines)...
This brew hits the spot. Comes with the
Medina ferry on Thursdays.
I watch Zenan Bridge by day, and worry
about that Medina ferry by night. Time
to unwind!
The woman at the top of the stairs is even more noticable and also has a large gap in her first lines (after "rough,")...the second option line is after the second break, btw (very obvious)...
I'm glad the Mystics are keeping a cool
head during this crisis. They had it
rough,
but the Vanguard's heroism in 605 A.D.
inspired their future leaders.
The Vanguard's strict historic justice has
left Truce without allies. Now's the time
to negotiate...
The woman sitting in the Truce-side ferry...
Building a ferry to Medina was, in
hindsight, a foreign policy coup.
...I remember you guys. I'm taking my
little girl to Choras. Please, do something
about this state of affairs...
Even Taban (the second option line is after the second break)...and on the part where he says, "What if we somehow detonate the Sun Stone's energy!" it should probably be a question mark, right?
...I've got it! What if we build a
tunneling drill that can create an
underground passage to Porre?
Eh, no, no...uh...
...I've got it! What if we somehow
detonate the Sun Stone's energy! It'd
make a massive explosion capable of
wiping out entire armies and tracts of
land!
Eh...no, what am I saying...um...
Lara too, and hers is more obvious because it's clearly two welcomes...
Nice to see you guys! Everything's
fine here.
Hello, everyone. I hope you've
come to help the situation here...our
era needs the most attention, right?
Alright, now in the Cathedral...The first guy at the entrance...
We're starting a partnership program
with Medina. Should be a hit!
I wonder how the nuns of the Middle
Ages coped with being surrounded on all
sides by war...
The guard in the middle chamber...
The bishop is thinking about visiting
Porre. They wouldn't dare touch him.
Everyone here is convinced it's the
apocalypse.
The Mystic at the front right bench...
Strange...I feel some kind of magic
energy residue coming from that organ.
Must be from that Yakra business
centuries ago.
I've hidden a cache of weapons in the
cathedral, in case we have to make a stand here.
The Mystic near the back of the chamber...
What a big sanctum! Only Medina Square
possibly compares.
Make your peace...the dark times are
coming, before the everlasting dawn
will break!
Now in the left area of the Cathedral...The left soldier...
Durr, I'm from Porre! I'm gonna gitcha!
Oh, I recognize you guys. I didn't say
this, but I think the Choras Mayor, if the
cards were really down, might not help
Truce after all...
The right soldier (the second option dialog is after the first break)...
Avast ye heathen! The Vanguard's honor
wills it!
The last thing Choras wants is to get the
evil eye Medina and Porre exclusively
reserve for Guardia
But we've got to show our support.
Now in the Vanguard Post...The soldier walking in place nearest the doors (very obvious option double dialog)...
The foundations of this place run deep.
A few angry Porreans won't uproot
honor.
The foundations of this place run deep.
Not even the world's angry hordes can
uproot honor.
Off to Medina...Doesn't look like anyone here has any of those problems...hey! A name-change Nu! Aw, I can only change Frog's name because he's stuck in the lead spot...Oh well, I guess I'll name him Kaeru while I've got the chance...
Now for Choras...!
Geeze, still Mid Ethers & Dash Rings at the Auction House...maybe it's because my Frog isn't at level 40 yet with some of the others...Looks like none of the NPCs in Choras have that problem either...a Galaxy Card, huh...Once I gave the Museum curator the WoodenIdol and the WoodenSpoons they didn't seem to appear anywhere in the Museum even after exiting & entering again...hmm...
And in Porre...the soldier in the Porre Market...
What do you want? Soldiers get first
picks of items and weapons here.
Our swords are fine, but Mystic blades
are even better...
In the Snail Stop...the soldier standing in front of the bar...
I'll gladly take orders. As soon as they
give the order to ransack Zenan Bridge
and the Vanguard!
I underestimated Montcrief. He's the new
Chief Commander! We're gonna be rich!
In the Soldier Housing...The soldier sitting on the left of the table...
Montcrief's prowess is unmatched by
anyone in Guardia. Especially that stupid
Vanguard.
Montcrief's been promoted to Chief
Commander of the Armed Forces of
Porre for his work on the Tank and
negotiations with Medina.
The soldier on the right of the table...
Years ago, the Vanguard massacred
Porre troops to protect Kasmir's forces.
It's time they paid!
Years ago, the Vanguard stood by while
Porrean and Mystics slaughtered each
other. Now, the two nations have
recognized their true enemy.
Now to 605 AD...! I'm very confused about wtf is up with the Mystic Den...
Well, now off to 11,995 BC...! Hey, with one broad stroke one Zealian man in the First Village washes away any theory that the Nu somehow originated from Zeal...
Nu are very strange beings. Legend
has it, they simply appeared to the
builders of Zeal one day.
Nothing else off here, I guess...the "Zeal Ruins?" seems like it's going to be interesting...
Off to the End of Time...! Holy shit...looks like this area isn't finished yet...? Ah, it's the Developers' room...

lol! Vehek is a scrap of paper and FW is balloons!
On with the story in the Prehistoric age...! If you land the Epoch 2 on the top cliff area where the Tacdyl next was, you can walk through that structure thing that's there...a watchtower I guess?
Sweet, now I get get rid of Frog! Just got the PaxGuardia too though, which is pretty good...Oh well...I'll switch some names around (& fix "Gil " too)...Crono=Serge (you can't be Crono, but Crono can be you!), Lucca=Elle (Magness ref!) & Marle=Marl (romanization!).
Hmmm, seems like maybe I wasn't supposed to switch Frog out so soon because when I get back to Ayla's tent, even though my party is Magus, Crono & Robo again, Frog's dialog shows up as if he's the lead spot after Schala asks you if everything's alright...
Yeah. She's one of the
Xamoltan, but things will be all right.
Kong comes in and Frog mysteriously speaks through Magus again...>_>
What the...
Kong bitches about challenging...and again, Magus speaks in Frog-tongues (so to speak)...
Is this guy serious?
And then again Frog speaks through Magus...
Ugh, hold on! I'll answer the
challenge for Ayla! I can do that,
right?
...and more...
I'm going to get medieval on
you!
...and again...
Well, someone needs to put
this guy in his place...
Uh, I did the challenge with Kong (still w/o Frog) and got 4...and then got stuck in this loop with Kong saying this message that keeps repeating itself and I can't get out of it...
Haha! You caught 4 frogs. Kong
catch 4 frogs, Kong wins! Challenge
again?
I don't know how a tie equals him winning either, but whatever...good thing I save stated before this...Or, wait, I save stated while the competition started and I can't switch Frog in during to do the stupid dance...Guess I'll reset & load my save of before Kong did his whole challenge shpeel...
Alright, Frog, good job...Sweet! Now I'm Ayla!
Hmmm, when Ayla talks to Lucca & Frog and Frog jokingly mentions him having claim to Chief, he whips out his sword, but it's all glowy & pink...>_>
Okay, went back to Chronopolis, took Frog out again, and talked to Belthasar downstairs and Gil said he felt something and we were in the Black Omen Ruins' Mammon Machine room with Schala near it and teh Masamune above her...I tried to interact with it behind and the Masamune turned into a jumbled mass of sprite...I also can't get out and nothing happens anywhere...after another reset I realized again that the fault lies with taking Frog out of the lead spot...
The Glare of MidnightI wonder if now I'm supposed to be able to take Frog out of the party or not yet...well, anyways, I think I'll end it for now...
