II. Introduction
Thanks for checking my guide. I decided to make this on a whim after seeing a
topic about one of Puffy's bizarre quotes on the Star Ocean 3 boards. There's
a lot of inventors and locales, so I figured there were a ton of amusing quotes
people haven't picked up yet. Seeing as how no one has documented them yet, I
decided to repent my sins and contribute to the community. If you're looking for
information on the Item Creation system itself, I'd recommend using A I e x's
great Item Creation FAQ.
If you're looking for anything in particular, just use Ctrl-F and search
for the numeral for the section you're especially interested in.

IV. The Inventors
There are 28 inventors available for you to sign. Since the focus of
this guide is basically the inventors themselves, I'll list their
character descriptions, as well as their specialty and talent level.
Mishell - Age 12 - Writing, Talent Level 35
Boy genius with a 190 IQ. He shines brightest in the field of
literature. Fully understands the reason why adults tend to handle
him with kid gloves. The unbalanced aura his lingering childness
gives him is the secret to his popularity with the ladies.
Eliza - Age 17 - Alchemy, Talent Level 4
Blundering alchemist who got where she is today by single-mindedly
persuing her dreams without letting anything like her utter lack of
talent get in the way. However, a single smile on her carefree face
has the magical power to transform criticism about her blunders and
stupidity into praise.
Grats - Age 65 - Smithery, Talent Level 25
Old soldier who left the military to become a blacksmith. His
experiences on the battlefield sometimes give him an edge over his
competition. Adheres to a full hands-on approach and will more than
likely produce a highly practical, first-rate item someday soon. His
weapons feature an unornamental simplicity favored by
professionals.
The Killer Chef - Age 28 - Cooking, Talent Level 75
Rumors of blood falling like rain wherever he goes earned him the
name of "Killer Chef." Seems to confuse cooking and violence, but
according to his inner circle, his ability is top notch. His
philosophical experession when lost in thought is bone-chilling.
Meryl - Age 15 - Engineering, Talent Level 46
Girl raised from early age alongside her father's machines. Has an
unyielding spirit just like her father and has inherited his knack for
working with machines. Often puts the adults around her to shame
with her ability.
Count Noppen - Age 44 - Writing, Talent Level 44
Good-for-nothing Count whose success is comprised of 90% good
fortune (his lineage), 5% delusion, and 5% conceit. Uses his
overabundant wealth to pay craftsmen to create the things he wants.
Even more aggravating, the things they make are quite good.
Chilico - Age 98 - Crafting, Talent Level 60
Elfin girl who wears the native dress of some island country. What
she lacks in strength, she makes up with the immeasurable
knowledge she has obtained over the years. However, her small size
is a handicap, adding to the time it takes her to complete a project.
Ansala - Age 89 - Alchemy, Talent Level 99
Eminent alchemist known throughout the lands. He finds purpose in
the gravel on the roadside and preaches morality to those who are
lost. The word "sage" fits him well, for he stakes everything in
seeking out and unraveling unknown truths. Lately, it seems he has
been considering taking a certain alchemist as his apprentice.
Osman the Sage - Age 69 - Writing, Talent Level 73
Learned old man who laments over his age. The end of his lifelong
research is still nowhere in sight, so he spends each day tormented
by his frustration. Well versed in the mysterious relationship between
manmade energy and symbology.
Gusto - Age 36 - Smithery, Talent Level 60
Blacksmith who values the traditional techniques handed down from
his master. His armor is rated higher than his weapons, but that
does not mean his weapons are inferior. What he lacks in
innovation, he makes up for with his consistently fine work.
Cornelius - Age 25 - Writing, Talent Level 15
Slightly off-kilter young man who longs to live the life of a wandering
troubadour. His appearance is unforgettable to the ladies, but he
seems to be somewhat lacking in substance.
Gossam - Age 64 - Compounding, Talent Level 9
Old philanderer who completely disregards his age and is unequaled
in his single-minded persuit of young women. His mere presence
elicits shrieks of terror from the ladies. His specialty is love potions,
but their efficacy is quite questionable.
Stanice - Age 20 - Crafting, Talent Level 20
Featherfolk girl who wields mysterious power. The gems in the
craftwork she produces harbor wonderous energies. Perhaps her
bashful nature hides a deep, but unpolished passion.
Damda Mooda - Age 66 - Cooking, Talent Level 6
Happy-go-lucky old man with the ruddy face of a professional
drinker. Master of bizarre, yet flawless cooking that gives his
customers a taste of both heaven and hell. Full of ideas, for better or
worse.
Vanilla - Age 12 - Engineering, Talent Level 32
Appears to be some sort of bunny-like humanoid. Possesses
techniques and knowledge that puts humans to shame. Somehow
able to manipulate precision machinery with his animal-like hands.
Skilled at mechanical work, but is also known for making delectable
carrot-based dishes.
Balbados - Age 50 - Crafting, Talent Level 37
Menodix peddler who wanders the lands, selling his unsual
craftworks. Don't be fooled by his looks--he's a compentent craftsman
that produces some rather fine items. He's fussy about money, as
peddlers tend to be, but he's not without a heart. In the end, it is all
about the negotiation.
Boyd - Age 46 - Smithery, Talent Level 95
Skilled blacksmith enthralled by steel and flames. Has lately started
to sense the paradox of mastering the creation of armor that
preserves life and swords that take it. Possesses considerable skills,
but his recent ambivalence has negatively affected the pace of his
work.
Mackwell - Age 26 - Alchemy, Talent Level 31
One would not expect this stylish fellow to be, in actuality, a dour
man who spends day and night engrossed in alchemical research.
Uses special exploding potions to chase away the woman who
cannot help but seek his attentions. Though taciturn and
inhospitable, he is rumored to have several pet cats.
Misty Lear - Age ??? - Alchemy, Talent Level 50
Seductively attractive woman who does not reveal her age. Has
been divorced and recently suffered the death of her 2-year-old
daughter. One must wonder what goes through her mind as she
sinks into the depths of sorrow during her alchemy work. Also well
versed in symbology and skilled in the art of imbuing stones with
symbol magic.
Milenya - Age 53 - Compounding, Talent Level 19
Altruistic holy woman who continues to make medicine for the sick
and injured. Recently decided to extend her reach by helping people
across the land, but is having trouble procuring the necessary
funding.
Lias - Age 22 - Smithery, Talent Level 36
Young, talented blacksmith who confronts steel and flames with
knowledge and logic, despite his lack of strength and experience.
Other blacksmiths disparage his unconventional techniques, but his
products surpass all others. A harsh critic might rightly say that his
work lacks in originality what it possesses in quality.
Louise the Diviner - Age 63 - Compounding, Talent Level 98
Compounder claiming to be a thorn in the side of darkness. Her
words and deeds serve to keep others at a distance. Many of the
potions she creates deal with negative powers belying her familiarity
with matters of death. However, her ability is only made possible by
her intimate knowledge of positive powers.
Mayu - Age 18 - Cooking, Talent Level 20
Young woman who works at the Kirlsa Training Facility. Skilled at
cooking that is ordinary yet comforting in a down home kind of way.
Said to be a dreamer who easily falls in love. Has many secret
admirers.
Dejison - Age 87 - Engineering, Talent Level 6
Professes to be the most brilliant scientist in all the lands and calls
himself the Invention King. However, everything he invents are
nothing more than extreme curiousities. He probably could produce
genius-level work if he only had a good assistant.
Puffy - Age 16 - Compounding, Talent Level 57
Secret rival who has been waging a bitter fight against SO players
since SO1--she's back for a third try. Skilled at poison, paralysis,
and petrification compounding, all for the sake of defeating players.
Izak - Age 99 - Engineering, Talent Level 65
Anthropomorphic weapon created several hundred years ago by the
technological superpower Greeton. Three developers repaired it
after coming across the disabled machine on the outskirts of
Surferio. Although it was meant to be a killing machine, it is also
surprisingly skilled at mechanical work, much to the light of
developers both here and abroad.
Rigel - Age 24 - Cooking, Talent Level 47
Something just doesn't seem right with this beautiful, yet strange,
young woman. It's probably due to her constant complaints of
hunger. Apparently, she can't work without eating--a troublesome
condition, to be sure.
Aqua & Evia - Age 25 and ??? - Crafting, Talent Level 49
A boy and girl of few words. These recluses stay at home and have
almost no contact with the outside world. The young woman must
have some reason for sticking so close to the young man. Perhaps it
has something to do with their recent registration with the Guild.
V. Before Registration
Typically, before an inventor registers with the Craftsman Guild,
which will be announced to you if you have 'Announce Entry' turned
on via the Compact Communicator, they will give a different quote
than usual.
Note that some inventors, such as Eliza, cannot be reached before
they register.
-------------------------------------------------------
Mishell:
"Grownups really have it so easy.
It's tough being a kid my age when you
have to study day after day."
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza
Eliza registers as an inventor immediately upon
entering Aquios for the first time, so there isn't
an opportunity to speak to her beforehand.
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats
By the time you reach him, he'll have already
registered as an inventor.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Killer Chef, referred to as 'Drowglynn Cook':
"Bones are hard, and vegetables stick together.
Human cuisine is really, really, REALLY hard.
Tehehehehe..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Meryl:
I don't understand how you can rely on
such an arcane, imprecise art as runology.
Not me! Nope, not interested."
-------------------------------------------------------
Count Noppen:
"And just who might you be?
What are these bumbling guards doing,
letting a suspicious-looking character
like you in here..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico:
"Human towns have nothing but
humans everywhere.
It's weird!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
I came all the way here,
and for what?
That sniveling little Lasselle
has some nerve!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage:
"I believe in Apris.
But that does not mean I agree with
the sins committed for the sake of
the Kingdom of Aquaria.
Pitting one military force against another
is the abyss of ignorance.
-------------------------------------------------------
Gusto:
"Superior weapons corrupt the minds
of the inexperienced who overestimate
their own ability.
Only the most valiant warriors are
worthy of wielding the weapons I make."
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius:
"The falling snow.
It envelops all in white.
It's just like a sinner trying to
forget his sins."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gossam:
"I worry about this kingdom's future
as I watch beautiful women walk by.
I'm completely against women
wearing leggings!
And long skirts are inexcusable!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice:
"Are you a traveler?
I was just in the middle of takingg a walk, myself.
I haven't managed to get back home yet, though.
To get home, I'll have to go over the mountains to
the southwest, but that's impossible whil there's
snow, so I'm staying here for the winter."
-------------------------------------------------------
Damda Mooda
Damda Mooda registers as an inventor almost immediately
after you do.
I didn't think to hold off registering until getting to
Aquios, but I have a hunch he would just give his bit
about being out of cider. If anyone can confirm
otherwise, let me know. =/
-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla
Sends you on a quest so he can make you the Ring
of Destruction.
-------------------------------------------------------
Balbados:
"It's already been many years
since I vowed to become famous.
I haven't yet found the legendary
treasure I seek.
I haven't even heard rumor of it.
It's not even certain whether it
really exists.
Ho ho ho..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Boyd:
"A poorly wielded sword is a sad
sword.
If you're a warrior of low standing,
never blame your inexperience on
your weapon."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mackwell:
"I'm not employed by the castle.
An old friend lets me in.
So save your questions for
somebody else.
I've no obligation to show you
around."
-------------------------------------------------------
Misty Lear:
Slaughter carried out in the name
of kingdoms...
Innocents killed in the name of war...
All that's left is the vestiges of a feast
held by those enthralled by evil."
-------------------------------------------------------
Milenya:
"This room isn't very sanitary.
I think it'd be unhealthy to remain
here for very long.
-------------------------------------------------------
Lias:
"I'm but an insignificant swordsmith.
I'm simply passing through these
lands while on my journey."
-------------------------------------------------------
Louise the Diviner:
"Hmph!
Young people these days are worthless and weak!
When I was young, people worked so hard,
they didn't even want to sleep."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mayu
You'll meet Mayu for the first time at the Kirlsa
Training Facility. She'll give you the Cuprite Key.
She isn't referred to by name at this point in the
game, so she's referenced as "Stern Matron's Daughter."
-------------------------------------------------------
Dejison the Invention King:
"Hee hehehe...
No matter how many times I see a unit
from Greeton's Mechanized Corps,
I am awed by its magnificence.
If I had the chance, I'd like to build an
ultimate machine surpassing even that!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Puffy
Puffy can only be seen after the main game is
complete, so it's impossible to speak to her
before she signs on as an inventor.
-------------------------------------------------------
Izak
Izak cannot be recruited until you have the Blueprints,
AI Program, and have Dejison, Vanilla, and Meryl
signed on.
Izak also never officially registers as an inventor
and only appears immediately after you activate him.
There's a cute scene between Nel and Fayt if you go
near him early on, though. =0
-------------------------------------------------------
Rigel:
"*sigh* I'm hungry.
My mother is so annoying the way she goes
on and on about how taking care of one's
appearance is one of the duties of nobility.
She won't even hire a chef, though we
certainly have the money."
-------------------------------------------------------
Aqua, referred to as 'Doll-Like Girl':
"My stomach's growling.
I'm not sick or anything,
it's just that I'm hungry."
Evia:
"There's not much time left
for my daughter and I.
I suppose I should at least pass
the remaining time with a smile
on my face.
-------------------------------------------------------
VI. Recruiting
Here we'll describe how to recruit each inventor, and their
quotes before and after signing on.
-------------------------------------------------------
Mishell
Location: Central Aquios
To recruit, offer: 85,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"Yes, what is it? I'm busy studying.
My mission is to write books that help people.
I don't have free time like grownups such as you."
After showing him 85,000 Fol:
"Hmm?
Do you want me to write a
book or something for you?"
After giving him 85,000 Fol:
"Any delivery date and any subject matter...
So it is quality you seek?
I'll be glad to accept the job under such
dream-like conditions."
Not giving him 85,000 Fol:
"Don't bother me unless you really need
something.
How do you expect me to concentrate?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza
Location: East Aquios
To recruit, offer: 10,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
It must be by mother's influence.
I've always found runologists' work
fascinating.
Once I grew up, I wanted to study many things,
but I've given up such ideas completely.
The biggest reason is I have an infant brother,
and studying requires a considerable sum of
money.
In short, we don't have the means for such
luxuries.
*grumble*"
After showing her 10,000 Fol:
"Oh, my!
I've never seen this much money before!"
After giving her 10,000 Fol:
"I didn't know you and your friends
were rich, Fayt.
With this money I can study hard
and invent lots of things!"
Not giving her 10,000 Fol:
"Wow, Fayt.
I didn't realize you and your
friends were rich."
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats
Location:
To recruit, offer: 13,500 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"I'm thankful to be right here, right now.
It is those who forget the miracle of life
who die.
A battlefield is that sort of place."
After showing him 13,500 Fol:
"'Money makes the mare to go'
as they say.
There are certainly many fools
who waste their lives by their
miserly ways."
After giving him 13,500 Fol:
"It's a deal.
I shall impart a bit of my vast knowledge
and experience upon you."
Not giving him 13,500 Fol:
"Remember that there are some
things in life money cannot buy.
There is only death for those who
cannot learn that."
-------------------------------------------------------
The Killer Chef
Location: Lost City of Surferio
To recruit, offer: Keen Kitchen Knife
Prior to recruiting:
"Tehehe, bones are so hard!
What I really need is a really sharp knife!"
After showing him the Keen Kitchen Knife:
"Wow!
What an excellent knife you have there!
Gimme gimme, gimme that!"
After giving him the Keen Kitchen Knife:
"I'll slice and dice everything with this!
There's a thin line between cuisine and horror,
you know.
Tehehehehe..."
Not giving him the Keen Kitchen Knife:
"I want it, I want it!
I could slice through anything like butter with that!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Meryl
Location: Eastern Peterny
To recruit, offer: Dremela's Tool Set
Prior to recruiting:
"*sigh*
If I had some better tools, my work
would be much easier.
But that would be asking too much in
a kingdom like this."
After showing her Dremela's Tool Set:
"Huh!?
Is that the new tool set
made by Dremela?"
After giving her Dremela's Tool Set:
"These are the best.
Look at their color and shine and
how they fit perfectly in your hand.
Yes indeed, Dremela's the king of
mechanical tools.
Yes indeed.
If you gave me that tool set, I'd agree
to work with you."
Not giving her Dremela's Tool Set:
"I see...
Well, that means that there is at least a
channel through which to obtain it.
I still have hope...
If I'm going to break the law anyway, then it
would be better to smuggle in SP tools in light
of their manufacturing efficiency.
*grumble*"
-------------------------------------------------------
Count Noppen
Location: Airyglyph Castle, 2F
To recruit, offer: 150,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"The woman of this world seem to
be obsessed with the love story
I've written.
No doubt they'd be far more
impressed if they only knew I had
written that incredibly popular book."
After enticing him with 150,00 Fol:
"...Are you trying to bribe me?
And with this miserable pittance!"
After giving him 150,000 Fol:
"I suppose it's all right.
But... this is exception,
understand?"
Not giving him 150,000 Fol:
"So what is it you want?
Speak up."
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico
Location:
To recruit, offer: 82,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"I love money.
It's so shiny and sparkly.
It's pretty, that's why I like it.
People give me the sparklies, so that's
why I decided to be an inventor."
After showing her 82,000 Fol:
"Ah, look at the sparnkly things!
Gimme, gimme gimme.
Give that to me!"
After giving her 82,000 Fol:
"An exclusive contract?
I don't understand really, but sure, why not!?
People who give me money are good people!
You know, I want to make a tower of money
and live at the top.
I'm small, so it's okay."
Not giving her 82,000 Fol:
"Hmph...
You don't have to be so angry...
Such a nasty temper!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala
Location: Aquaria Castle, Lasselle's Room
To recruit, offer: Philosopher's Stone
Prior to recruiting:
"My life has been filled with
riches and fame.
What could you possibly give
someone such as me?"
After showing him the Philosopher's Stone:
"Did you make that?
Hmm, let me take a
look at it."
After giving him the Philosopher's Stone:
"You are very promising...
I just might devote the rest of my days to
imparting all my knowledge upon you."
Not giving him the Philosopher's Stone:
"Oh, it's just a well-made fake...
Still, even being able to make it
look good from the outside is
quite a feat."
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage
Location: Airyglyph, Abandoned Temple
To recruit, offer: Strange Book
Prior to recruiting:
"I do not have much time left.
To think this is all I would get out of such
great sacrificies and devout study.
I am appalled at my own foolishness."
After showing him the Strange Book:
"Hmm!?
Who wrote that book!?
This just might prove useful in my research."
After giving him the Strange Book:
"Are you saying that you shall give it to me!?
Oh, I must thank you indeed.
If there is anything I can do for you,
please do not hesitate to ask."
"Hmm...
I would not mind signing with you.
Let us waste no time drawing up
the contract."
Not giving him the Strange Book:
"I see...
Well, I would like to look through it if the
occassion presents itself next time.
It would be nice if I could find what I am
looking for."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gusto
Location: Southern Peterny
To recruit, offer: 60,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"Are you seeking one of the weapons
I've made?
If so, you must visit the nearby store.
But the finer weapons will cost you."
After showing him 60,000 Fol:
"I don't normally do this...
But this alone is worthy compensation.
I'm not particular about my patrons as
long as they value my weapons.
That means everything to me.
I guarantee unparalleled quality."
After giving him 60,000 Fol:
"We have a deal!
It may take some time, but I guarantee it
will be worth the wait.
Not giving him 60,000 Fol:
"Do as you wish, for it is you yourself
who determines the value of my
weapons."
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius
Location: Airyglyph, High-Quality Armorer "Tiamat"
To recruit, offer: Sunrise Dictionary
Prior to recruiting:
"My memory is just terrible these days.
Now what was I thinking about before?
I just can't remember!
Oh yes, it was that... that...
Ohhh! I can't stand it when this happens!"
After showing him the Sunrise Dictionary:
"Huh!?
I should try looking through this?
That just might help..."
After giving him the Sunrise Dictionary:
"Yes! That's it!
This made me remember.
Phew, I feel much better now.
Thanks for the help.
Huh, sign with you?
Sure, that's but a small price to pay."
Not giving him the Sunrise Dictionary:
"Can't find it...
Well, thanks anyway.
And it's on the tip of my tongue!
But it just won't come out.
Ohhh! I'm this close to remembering!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Gossam
Location: North Peterny
To recruit, offer: Potion of Youth (Fake)
Prior to recruiting:
"I'm not interested in talking to you.
I'm only interested in chasing beautiful women.
I don't exaggerate when I say my purpose in life
is to be pampered by them!"
After showing him the Potion of Youth (Fake):
"Oh, young man!
Is that... Could it really be!?
Now you have my attention."
After giving him the Potion of Youth (Fake):
"W-with this, I could find lots of ladies
and do this... and that! And--and the
other thing!"
Not giving him the Potion of Youth (Fake):
"Y-You would run off and get pampered
and leave me here alone, would you!?
I'm green! Green with envy!
You... You playboy! You disgust me!
Please...
Please, take me with you!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice
Location: Surferio, Roger's House
To recruit, offer:
Prior to recruiting:
"I've got a little free time on my hands now,
so I'm making all sorts of little knick-knacks.
I love cute things.
Hehe!"
After showing her the Limited-Edition Doll:
"Ah!
Is that a Limited-Edition Super Doll?
This is a special, limited-edition Gohx model full
of rare parts, isn't it?
Ahh... it's so cute..."
After giving her the Limited-Edition Doll:
"What!? Are you sure!?
Woohoo!!!
But...
You want a contract in return?
If that's all you want, sure.
But wait!
I've never made anything else, so I'm pretty
sure I can only make cute things well..."
Not giving her the Limited-Edition Doll:
"Woohoo!
Seeing this really makes my day!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Damda Mooda
Location: West Aquios
To recruit, offer: Winking Sage Cider
Prior to recruiting:
"Oh no!
I'm out of cider!
*hiccup*"
After showing him the Winking Sage Cider:
"Hmm? Hmmm!?
What's that I smell? What is it?
Perfume? No... that's not it.
Wait, it's...
It's the scent of cider! Oh, what a
glorious scent.
You have some fine cider there.
It has the fragrance of flowers!"
After giving him the Winking Sage Cider:
"What's the meaning of this!?
Why this is raw cider!
Gulp...
Hmm? You look surprised.
Well, listen here. I'll explain it to you.
This hasn't been heat treated.
If cider is not heat treated, its naturally rich,
mellow flavor is lost soon after it's bottled.
And... Hey, are you even listening to me!?"
Not giving him the Winking Sage Cider:

I really do want it! I want to smell it!
And I want to drink it!"

Vanilla
Location
To recruit, offer: 30,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"I don't get many customers here.
I've thought about moving, but..."
After showing him 30,000 Fol:
"If I had that much money, I could
move to a better place."
After giving him 30,000 Fol:
"I've grown tired of this place.
Maybe I should find a more
lively place to live."
Not giving him 30,000 Fol:
"I'm working hard, but that's not
the issue here."
-------------------------------------------------------
Balbados
Location: Mosel Dunes
To recruit, offer: Antique Jewelry
Prior to recruiting:
"I see you can't tell whether this is
real or not.
Well, it's a fake.
If it were real, it'd be worth an
entire city.
It's likely a practice piece made
about 100 years ago.
And it was made by Dakson VII.
Look--the name's right here."
"It takes at least 30 years of
practice before you are capable
of making such an appraisal."
After showing him the Antique Jewelry:
"That's the legendary...
Do you want me to appraise it
to see whether it's real or not?"
After giving him the Antique Jewelry:
"Hmm...
Even I can't give you an immediate
answer. It'll take a while longer.
I'll just keep this until then.
Don't worry. I won't run off with it.
I'll even appraise it back at your
workshop if you'd like."
Not giving him the Antique Jewelry:
"Well, it's probably a fake.
Besides, the original is the only one
in the world. I suppose it's owned by
some kind of great holy man."
-------------------------------------------------------
Boyd
Location: Arias, General Store "Jack Potato"
To recruit, offer: Bent Mystic Blade
Prior to recruiting:
"I've made swords to take life and armor
to protect it.
Whether friend or foe, warriors of
renown flock to me for my wares.
And someone always gets killed when
they fight.
In short, my conduct is a contradiction
unto itself.
And so is my existence..."
After showing him the Bent Mystic Blade:
"That's quite a beat-up sword you have
there. How'd you manage to survive this
far using that?
Let me see what I can do with it."
After giving him the Bent Mystic Blade:
"A fine sword...
and a skilled wielder, I see...
I think you'll do.
You seem like a person worth making
some weapons and armor for."
Not giving him the Bent Mystic Blade:
"Hmm? Why not?
Well, it's your sword. So be it."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mackwell
Location: Castle Aquaria, Library of Theology
To recruit, offer: Pook of Prophecies 1

Oh, and...
I've no interest in money."
After showing him the Book of Prophecies 1:
"Is that...! I'd be happy to work with you if you'd
let me study it for a while."
After giving him the Book of Prophecies 1:
"So then we have a deal.
It's mine now. All mine!"
Not giving him the Book of Prophecies 1:
"Bah...
This is going nowhere.
You're just wasting my time."

Misty Lear
Location: Mountains of Barr, Workshop
To recruit, offer: Spirit Stone
Prior to recruiting:
"I wonder if there's a way to
save the souls of the dead."
After showing her the Spirit Stone:
"No matter how hard I suffered and
toiled, I couldn't make one of those.
*sigh*
If only I could've made one..."
After giving her the Spirit Stone:
"Thank you.
I should be able to save my daughter's soul with this.
Oh, and...
You may freely use my services
in return for your kindness."
Not giving her the Spirit Stone:
"The lost bodies and shattered souls...
All I can do is repent my own sins."
-------------------------------------------------------
Milenya
Location: Arias Chapel
To recruit, offer: 3,200 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"There are many people suffering throughout
these lands.
I want to help as many of them as possible."
After showing her 3,200 Fol:
"I could produce even better medicines
if you'd invest in my work.
And that investment would save the
lives of many unfortunate people
throughout these lands."
After giving her 3,200 Fol:
"Thank you so very much.
May the grace of the gods be with you."
Not giving her 3,200 Fol:
"You're probably right.
My family certainly wasn't poor, but even
after investing my entire personal fortune,
I was unable to save all the needy."

Lias
Location: Airyglyph, Tavern "Dragon's Breath"
To recruit, offer: 28,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"Being bound by convention and merely criticizing
those who are not will lead to stagnation and halt
progress.
You must produce results in order to silence
those who obstruct your progress by labeling
as a heretic you or anyone else who transcends
rigid thinking."
After showing him 28,000 Fol:
"May I accept this large sum as proof that
you have entrusted me with your swords,
the life's blood of the warrior?"
After giving him 28,000 Fol:
"I have long sought to make those
around me acknowledge my existence
through my work.
Now, that is no longer necessary.
From this day forward, I shall work for
your sake."
Not giving him 28,000 Fol:
"Do you already have a weapon to
which you've entrusted your life?
If so, there is nothing I can do for
you."
-------------------------------------------------------
Louise the Diviner
Location: Surferio, Melt's House
To recruit, offer: 90,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
"I do the devil's work, you say?
I don't see where you have the right to criticize
me, stranger.
You know what they say--it takes a thief to catch
a thief, no?
So I'm a little extreme..."
After showing her 90,000 Fol:
"You desire my knowledge and wisdom?
I am not cheap.
You will pay in full for my services."
After giving her 90,000 Fol:
"Very well.
I will provide services well worth your coin."
Not giving her 90,000 Fol:
"So that is all I am worth to you?
Bah! YOu insult me."

Thank you, Fayt.
I'll make you the best lunches
you've ever had!"

those dolls, too."
-------------------------------------------------------
Dejison
Location: Southern Streets of Airyglyph
To recruit, offer: Ultimate Bomb
Prior to recruiting:
"Hee hehehe...
My final goal is to build a humanoid ultimate
destruction weapon with my own two hands.
Hmm!? You want to know why?
Well, because that would be the easieast
way for me to get recognition worldwide as
the greatest inventor who ever lived!"
After showing him the Ultimate Bomb:
"T-t-t-t-that's-that's...
That's not a humanoid ultimate
destruction weapon, but it's extremely
close to a weapon I could use as one!"
After giving him the Ultimate Bomb:
"Hehehe...
I think I'm going to like you.
I'll lend you my services for a while."
Not giving him the Ultimate Bomb:
"Well, it matters not.
I've already obtained the external armor to use
on an ultimate destruction weapon to make a
humanoid ultimate destruction weapon."
-------------------------------------------------------
Puffy
Location: Maze of Tribulations F5, Workshop
To recruit, offer: Experimental Remedy
Prior to recruiting:
Puffy:
"...."
Fayt:
"What's wrong?"
Puffy:
"Ohhh... the pain..."
Puffy:
"You dimwit!
You don't have the special type
A-class remedy!?"
After giving her the Experimental Remedy:
Puffy:
"Ahhh!
Not once, but twice!?
I've never been so humiliated in
all my life!
Okay, I'll make an exception and
help you out.
But don't expect too much!!!"
Not giving her the Experimental Remedy:
Puffy:
"You're a monster!"
Puffy will just say "Ohh... the pain..." until
you leave the room and return, starting the
'Prior to recruiting' scene again indefinitely
until you give her the Experimental Remedy. =/
So have a heart!
-------------------------------------------------------
Izak
Location: Surferio, outside Roger's house
Recruiting Izak is a bit of a pain. To even consider it,
you'll need the Blueprints, which you can get by
completing the Rumina/Ruddle series of PAs, the
AI Program, which you'll get in Sphere 211 before
fighting Berial & Belzeber, and you'll have to have
Vanilla, Meryl, and Dejison signed on.
When you have all these things, head to Surferio.
Examine the mechanical soldier, and you'll view
a short scene between Meryl, Dejison, and Vanilla.
Meryl:
"Wow,
So this is it."
Vanilla:
"Definitely...
An interesting item, indeed."
Dejison the Invention King:
"Heheheee...
I never grow tired of admiring its
beautiful coloring.
Just the thought of tinkering
around with this makes me
drool in anticipation, heh!"
Meryl:
"Ewww...
Gross! Dirty old man!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"What!?
Girl, I'm no dirty old man, I'm a Romeo!
There's a difference, you know!"
Meryl:
"Yuck!
Is that sweat? A drop of sweat hit me!
On the face! Where's the soap!?
Stay out of my personal space! Stay at least
three meters away from me, I'm warning you!"
Dejison, the Invention King:
"Bah, shut your trap!
Take this!
*bam bam bam bam bam!!!*"
Meryl:
"What do you think you're doing!?
All right, now I'm really mad!"
Vanilla:
"Oh boy.
It looks like the two of you are occupied,
so I guess I'll just tweak it myself."
Meryl & Dejison:
"Stop goofing off!"
Vanilla:
"Hmph... How very..."
Meryl:
"Zerp! Zerp!
Ah yes, this is how a robot was meant to be!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"Bah, get with the times!
Nobody uses inconvenient attachments
like that anymore!"
Meryl:
"Shut up!!!
I've had it with you! Don't come within
two meters of me!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"What'!? Wha'!?"
Vanilla:
"I see, I see...
All right, so let's chance this here..."
Meryl:
"Huh...
So that's what it's like inside.
I don't understand much of this
old stuff."
Vanilla:
"It's a little old, but people see that
as a plus.
If you fix it up perfectly and find someone like that
to sell it to, just think of how much you'll be able
to get for it.
Ah, something to look forward to!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"What, you want to sell it all of a sudden!?
Don't even think about it!"
Meryl:
"What!? What's that?
Arrrrgggghh!!!
Burn it, Vanilla!!!"
Vanilla:
"Roger!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"Nooooo!!!
My hidden stash of pretty clothes!
What have you done!?"
Dejison the Invention King:
"My dream of creating the perfect Robo Woman...
My romantic dream, in ruins..."
Meryl:
"Die!"
Vanilla:
"Heh...
Can't say he didn't have it coming."
Dejison the Invention King:
"All my hopees... All my dreams...
Ashes to ashes..."
Meryl:
"Be quiet already!
Act like a man! Stop sniveling!!!
And wipe your nose before you start dripping!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"Boohoo!
*sob* Arggghh... *sob*"
Vanilla:
"You know, I don't think he's faking it.
He's really crying, Meryl."
Meryl:
"Are you serious? Bleh!"
Dejison the Invention King:
"Boohoohoo!!!"
Meryl:
"What did I tell you about getting liquids in
the precision machinery?"
(Sound of impact, body falls)
Meryl:
"Hey, hand me that hexagonal wrench."
Vanilla:
"Sure, here you go."
Meryl:
"Oh yeah, sorry.
I need that nut too."
Vanilla:
"This one?"
Vanilla:
"You know, the work is going much
faster now."
Meryl:
"You know what I think?
Maybe just the two of us should have
done this work from the very beginning?"
Meryl & Vanilla:
"... ... ... ..."
Vanilla:
"All right, almost time to put on the
finishing touches."
Meryl:
"Okay.
Do your darndest."
Vanilla:
"Here we go."
Meryl:
"This is looking pretty good.
What do you think?"
Vanilla:
"Absolutely perfect.
This completely matches the blueprint."
Meryl:
"Excellent. I hereby name you Izak, which means
'gentle steel knight' in the language of the
Kingdom of Greeton."
You'll have a chance to send Izak to a workshop
after this scene. You'll also get a notification
telling you Izak has registered as an inventor.
As far as I know, so long as you have the prerequisite
items and inventors, you can get Izak at any time."
-------------------------------------------------------
Rigel
Location: Kirlsa Grocer "Iron Curtain"
To recruit, offer: Golden Curry
Prior to recruiting:
"I'm hungry."
After showing her the Golden Curry:
"Oh, that looks yummy.
You want me to sign a contract?
I'd rather eat than cook..."
After giving her the Golden Curry:
"You don't mind if I eat it?
Thanks! *chomp chomp*
Uh... I'll fix you something if you don't mind me
eating like this while I cook."
Not giving her the Golden Curry:
"I normally can eat all I want without
gaining weight, but..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Aqua & Evia
Location: Peterny Temple
To recruit, offer: 20,000 Fol
Prior to recruiting:
Both Aqua and Evia say the same thing as before they
register as inventors. Speak to Evia directly to
sign them on.
After showing him 20,000 Fol:
"Oh my!
With that, I might be
able to..."
After giving him 20,000 Fol:
"Now I should be able to help my
daughter.
No, I mean I WILL help my daughter,
even if I have to sacrifice my own life.
I hate to ask you after you gave me
all that money, but if something were to
happen to me, would you please look
after my daughter?"
Aqua:
"Please take care of my papa should
I die from my illness.
I'd like you to make sure he doesn't
starve himself to death."
Evia:
"Remember one thing: whatever may happen,
don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter!"
Fayt:
(Maybe we should've thought
twice before we got mixed up
with these two?)
Not giving him 20,000 Fol:
"Wow...
If I only had that much money, I could make
some medicine to cure my daughter."

VIII. The Quotes
This details the various quotes the inventors have while
stationed at a workshop.
There are five available workshops for the twenty-eight inventors,
making for quite a lot of different quotes.
***************************************************************************

***************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------
Mishell:
"Oh, hello Fayt.
What is it?
Work's proggressing smoothly if that's
what you came to ask about."
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza:
"Master, I'm so glad you stopped by.
I'll work hard if it's for your sake."
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats:
"This old body can only stand this cold for a bit.
When is the next shift change?"
-------------------------------------------------------
The Killer Chef:
"Hack, slash, kill!
Hack, slash, cook!
Hehehehe..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Meryl:
"What!?
I'm working, aren't I?
-------------------------------------------------------
Count Noppen:
"Oh ho ho ho...
You just leave everything to me."
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico:
"It sure is cold, isn't it?
Is this what you humans call winter?
If so, it's much too cold for me!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
"You should just leave things to me.
Everything will turn out fine that way."
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage:
" 'If you clear your mind of all worldly thoughts,
you will find that even fire is cool.'
It follows that cold can be warm too."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gusto:
"Hmph, this degree of chill will
not hamper my duties in the least."
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius:
"Even when I look out over pure white
snow that should be free of sin,
all I see are stones being cast at a sinner.
However...
I am the truly sinful one."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gossam:
"Brr... It's cold.
It's days like this that I wish I had a young,
pretty lass to keep me warm."
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice:
"My research is proceeding smoothly,
and I feel great.
I can handle any work, no matter what it is."
-------------------------------------------------------
Damda Mooda:
"Nothing but a hot mug of cider will suffice
in a place like this.
Oh, how delicious the cider is again today."
-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla:
"Hmm... Hmm...
I suppose it's work that could only be done here."
-------------------------------------------------------
Balbados:
"I have no problem working in the cold.
It's just that I don't like it."
-------------------------------------------------------
Boyd:
"Yes!? What do you want!?
What an idle fellow you are, bothering
me like this even though you have no business with me."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mackwell:
"I have met the quota.
Are you dissatisfied with something?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Misty Lear:
"What can I do for you,
you cutie of a master."
-------------------------------------------------------
Milenya:
"It's quite chilly today.
Don't go catching a cold now."
-------------------------------------------------------
Lias:
"Smithery is an art into which you pour body and soul.
BUt it's rather hard to work in a place like this."
-------------------------------------------------------
Louise the Diviner:
"I'm supposed to work here?
BUt it's so cold!
Young people today lack common sense."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mayu:
"Hehehe...
Today I'll work as hard as I can once more."
-------------------------------------------------------
Dejison:
"Hee hehehe...
I can't have you underestimating me.
Though I may try to drive a
nail with a banana, my machines
are just fine."
-------------------------------------------------------
Puffy:
"Now hold on a minute!
What's the idea of making me work
in such a cold place?
I'm gonna work hard, save my money,
and then seek recourse with the
proper authorities!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Izak:
"Beep beep beep.
Bing! Bing! Boing!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Rigel:
"It's sure cold and dark in here.
Is it because of the snow?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Aqua:
"My dad is such a fool.
He needs one good kick in the rear."
Evia:
"Oh, how cold it is!
It's at times like these when snuggling
with someone is the best way to warm up.
No, no... I didn't mean with you."
-------------------------------------------------------
***************************************************************************
b) Mining Town of Kirlsa A
***************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------
Mishell:
"This town certainly is noisy,
but that's no excuse.
If you really focus on your work,
you won't even notice the clamor
outside.
After all, Fayt, isn't that what happens
when you're engrossed in a game?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza:
"Work is proceeding smoothly, of course.
Little ever discourages me!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats:
"Being here in this town makes this old
warrior's heart race.
I was so young back then.
And when I close my eyes,
shameful and embarrassing memories
flood my mind."
-------------------------------------------------------
The Killer Chef:
"Slice slice slice!
Chop!
Dice dice dice!
Chop! CHOP!
Dice dice dice!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Meryl:
"He hee hee!
I just got a great idea a moment ago.
It really is a revolutionary concept,
though it may be simple once I show you.
Aren't I really something?
-------------------------------------------------------
Count Noppen:
"Almost all the nobles with titles
close to my own have perished in this
drawn-out war.
That leaves me as essentially the
second most important noble in
the Kingdom of Airyglyph.
Oh ho ho ho ho..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico:
"I'm taking a bit of a rest.
Ahhh... This is the life."
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
"Enhancing welfare is the ebst road
to the future, is it not?
What do you think, Master Fayt?
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage:
"Many different gems sparkle when
exposed to light.
However, their sparkle is not always
the same.
The same can be said of
Airyglyph and Aquaria.
Though these two different kingdoms
seek the same thing, happiness will not
necessarily come to both.
That is because in Airyglyph,
there is a form of happiness unique to
the people of Airyglyph, and in
Aquaria, there is a form of happiness
that is unique to the people of Aquaria."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gusto:
"Patience is a virtue.
Wait while I produce
my ultimate masterpiece."
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius:
"Flames burn the body and steel
cuts the flesh.
However, neither lessen the brilliance of
the spirit.
No matter what may happen,
the spirit shall continue to shine brightly.
-------------------------------------------------------
Gossam:
"I heard there are lots of young beauties
in the Sacred Kingdom of Aquaria.
How wonderful. How absolutely wonderful."
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice:
"Maybe I'm in need of a challenge again.
Doing what's normally expected of you
is important, but somethings it's good to go
beyond that."
-------------------------------------------------------
Damda Mooda:
"A nice cold drink is just the thing
after a hard day's work.
The colder, the better."
-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla:
"Trying to locate materials for as little money as
possible is fundamental to commerce.
After all, your own leg power is basically free."
-------------------------------------------------------
Balbados:
Inventing is like a roll of the dice.
You may strike it lucky once, only to then
fail no matter how many times you try.
Then again, my dice, so to speak,
have fewer sides than other people's dice.
Aha ha ha ha ha."
-------------------------------------------------------
Boyd:
"You could say I'm in good form...
Then again you could say something's lacking."
-------------------------------------------------------
Mackwell:
"I finished today's quota yesterday.
It's not in my nature to allow
myself to be pressed for time."
-------------------------------------------------------
Misty Lear:
"The positive and the negative cancel each other out.
So the production of that which is
positive also creates that which is negative.
Alchemy is an orderly science that
strictly adheres to laws.
It is great wisdom enabling the
control of all creation. That's why
it is so interesting, you see."
-------------------------------------------------------
Milenya:
"Proceed as far as you can when you
should proceed, and stop completely
when you should stop.
That's what's important.
It is up to you to know when to do which.
In either case, have no regrets."
-------------------------------------------------------
Lias:
"The way of the sword is deep, and I am
still but loitering around the entrance.
So how could it be that one who has
not mastered the use of a blade could
create such magnificent arms?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Louise the Diviner:
"What is this place?
It is so stuffy and damp in here.
It feels as if my body will grow moldy.
-------------------------------------------------------
Mayu:
"This town has changed quite a bit in a short time.
But nothing's really changed, has it?
-------------------------------------------------------
Dejison:
"Ideally speaking, silver is better than
copper, but there is no siler in
these parts.
It is no good to simply invent something.
An invention that is so expensive that no
one will use it is practically worthless.
-------------------------------------------------------
Puffy:
"Just look at yourself.
Your clothes are filthy!
If you want to be as successful with the ladies
as I am ( ? >_> ), then first you must clean yourself up!
C-L-E-A-N, CLEAN!
-------------------------------------------------------
Izak:
"Toot Toot... Rooom!
Beep Beep Clunk...
Ding Ding Ding!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Rigel:
"*sigh*
I didn't get a good night's sleep.
Some sort of noisy insect got into my room last night.
*yawn*"
-------------------------------------------------------
Aqua:
"My dad's really hopeless.
He's quite a waste of space, you know."
Evia:
"I must work even today to support my

O gods up on high!
Why do you not grant me the means
to enjoy a life of ease with my daughter?"

Mishell:
"If this goes like this, then that goes like that.
So that means this goes here, right?
In other words...
Oh, sorry.
Just now, it seemed that my
thoughts were finally taking shape."
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza:
"Leave it to me.
You can rest easy now.
Tee-hee!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats:
"The bray of a lum, and the
sound of lumshoes...
Bah!
I should be out there!"
-------------------------------------------------------
The Killer Chef:
"Dum de dum dum dum.
Dum de dum dum dum.
Sizzlin' sizzlin'...
Cha cha cha."

Meryl:
"You just watch.
When I'm involved,
work'll fly off the assembly line,
no matter what it is."
-------------------------------------------------------
Count Noppen:
"The lord of this town is Count Woltar.
I, too, am a Count.
That means I'm just as important as
Lord Woltar.
Oh ho ho ho ho..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico:
"I AM working hard!
And I AM doing my best!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
"Well, where shall I begin?
Having a plan is important, you know."
After all, time is money."

Osman the Sage:
"A tree grown under windy
skies is a strong tree,
just as the people of this town
are brimming with the power to
survive from years of hardship."

Gusto:
"Fresh water is nature's blessing.
This town is a fitting place for me
and my trusty hammer.
But much knowledge has been lost,
and this is cause for lament."

Cornelius:
"It is man's nature to seek blood.
If the way of splendor is beautiful,
then the way of destruction is magnificent."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gossam:
"Hmm, maybe it's a good idea to
get serious every once in a while.
But don't get me wrong.
I've been hard at work for hours.
At least I've been trying..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice:
"What a refreshing morning.
Yes indeed.
I feel as though I can do a good job today."

Damda Mooda:
"A cup of tea is just the thing
after a hard day's work.
The way it relaxes the body is
quite nice."

Vanilla:
"You must first make things bnefore you

I'm not interested in monopolizing

Balbados:
"Aha ha ha ha.
That's it! That's it!
I've just had a flash of genius!
It'll be smooth sailing from here on!
Yep, we're all going for a ride on the
luxurious boat that is my talent!"

In fact, I'd say it was looking quite good.
Don't know about the others, of course.

sacred to blacksmiths far and wide.
But what is done is done.
I shall put this town back on the

Louise the Diviner:
"The water in this town is terrible.
It is hard on the health of elderly

I'd love to have you try them later."

Dejison:

but it's not quite as good as genuine
Greeton iron.
But desire knows no bounds.
Besides, a true invention is born from
overcoming many limitations."

Puffy:
"The people of this town speak with a

I keep telling them my name is Puffy.
That's pronounced 'PUH-fee.'
I already showed them how to make the

Mishell:
"It's easier to gather information

This is probably the best town for

-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza:
"I'm actually a bit behind in my work.
Upon arriving in town, I was overwhelmed by
all there is to do and see here."
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats:
"Wherever there are people, there is strife.
However, righteousness is there, too.
That is how humankind is able to flourish

The Killer Chef:
"Slice and dice.
Dice and slice.
Chop chop chop!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Meryl:
"There are lots of ideas out there.
The trick is how they're implemented.
It's easy to come up with an idea,
but actually following through with one
to bring it to fruition is difficult."

Count Noppen:
"This town has many people and a great
deal of money changing hands.
Now all it needs to be a perfect town
is a great ruler such as myself."

Chilico:
"Ummm... Uhhh...
What was I trying to do?
I completely forgot."
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
"The Craftsman's Guild has its
headquarters here in Peterny.
There are rumors both good and bad.
Some of them are true, while others
are not.
I suppose the most important thing
is whether people understand each other.
Once there are those who wish to be
privileged above others, it is no longer
possible for everyone to be content."
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage:
"Just as only the strongest trees still stand
after a gate, it is the men of exceptional
ability who stand out during times of trouble.
However, such times are most
unwelcome for the weak."
-------------------------------------------------------
Gusto:
"Relying on one's materials is
proof of inexperience.
A great craftsman can elicit
the true potential of anything."
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius:
"According to the oldest tradition
of the Church of Apris that yet
remains in these lands,
Aquaria I, the first queen of
the Ancient Kingdom of Aquor, was unlike
the many other beings born of Apris
for she was a descendant of the gods
who came down from the heavens
to live in these lands dring the age of Chaos.
In short, though Apris is the creator
of this world, he's not necessarily the
creator of the human race.
If that's true, then who do you suppose
created you humans, and where
could such a being dwell?"

Damda Mooda:

I think you should be able to drink

-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla:
"No matter how fine a work you produce,
it's meaningless unless there's someone
willing to buy it.
Obviously, the more people there are,

And the more items you have,

Mackwell:
"I'm working the hours and

You have no right to demand

-------------------------------------------------------
Misty Lear:
"According to the theory of alchemy,
it really is possible for us to create all
manner of things--except for the soul.
However, creating something requires
the alteration of physical materials,
resulting in some sort of loss.
If the materials lost were greater than
the end product, no one would want to
become an alchemist.

Milenya:
"Today's temperature and humidity

e) Sacred City of Aquios
***************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------
Mishell:
"Though different from what I write,
even light novels and the like aren't
something at which you should thumb your nose.
After all, establishing such a genre
requires a society where commoners can
afford leisure time and there is an advanced
and mature popular culture."
-------------------------------------------------------
Eliza:
"The sacred waters surrounding the city
flow from a divine artifact.
If you can manage to properly harness its power,
then even training far beyond theoretical limits
will become possible."
-------------------------------------------------------
Grats:
"Fancy weapons are pointless.
Truly superior weapons are those

Meryl:

Count Noppen:
"Hmm... Umm... Uhh... I've got it!
The ultimate poem!
No, maybe a textbook!?
Oh ho ho ho...
The genre matters not.
At any rate, it's sure to be
a masterpiece.
-------------------------------------------------------
Chilico:
"Just a little more... a little more...
But I suppose I'll never finish
if I never start, huh?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ansala:
"Do you think producing gold from
stone violates the laws of nature?
If so, you are mistaken.
For one who comprehends all things
and has full knowledge of the true
qualities of materials,
turning stone into gold can be likened
to the simple act of turning water into
steam by boiling it.
The only difference is that the method for
performing the former transformation
is not widely known."
-------------------------------------------------------
Osman the Sage:
"One who excels in many areas is no match
for one who has perfected a single talent.
It's just like that saying:
'Jack of all trades, master of none.'"
-------------------------------------------------------

"This land has a special power.
Its waters enable techniques that
work nowhere else.
Now what sort of sword shall I forge
with such power?
-------------------------------------------------------
Cornelius:
"Driven from their lands by the humans
who came down from heaven,
the humanoids retreated far into the
distand hills.
But such are the vicissitudes of fortune.
No one has the right to bear ill will

Gossam:
"What a fine city!
There're lots of young ladies--how
could I possibly complain?
And you know they say that
the more pretty ladies about,
the easier it is to be devout in
one's daily observances!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Stanice:
"I heard from my grandfather that in the distant
past, the first humans descended
into Surferio from the heavens.
It seems there were many disputes at first,
but now relations aren't all that bad.
I think that's a good thing.
What good does it do for people living
today to keep worrying about times long
past, when none of them were even born yet?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Damda Mooda:
"There're no taverns in this city.
It's not that they don't like to
have fun here, it's just they're
not interested in taverns.
This won't do. This won't do at all.
I can't work in such a foolish place!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla:
"Combining religion with commerce
just isn't right, is it?
It's true you can sell lots of
stuff by making use of religion,
but that takes all the joy out of it.
People who do that shouldn't even
call themselves merchants."
-------------------------------------------------------
Balbados:
"Crafting is a precise art.
It demands finger movements so deft
they can hardly be seen with the eye,
as well as aesthetic sensibilities.
Fine crafting is impossible unless you

Boyd:
"I can work anywhere!
And I won't let you quibble about my work."

True alchemists do not rely on

"Even medicine is poison when in excess.

"Are you trying to prematurely dispatch
me to the land of Apris by
making me work in such a place?

"I'm not comfortable with live fish.
After all, we didn't see stuff

The machine I made will enable
anyone to easily do things far

Aqua:
"This city reeks of religion.
All they do is pray, day in and day out.
I'm going to die of boredom here."
Evia:
"Yes, this is a fine city.
The air, water, and food are good,
but more than anything, it's the
feel of purity that this city has that I like.
I think it's perfect for my daughter and me,
but what do you think? Hahaha... of course it is!"
-------------------------------------------------------
IX. Dictionary Entries
Each inventor, after being signed, adds an entry to the
dictionary to shed a little light into their backstory.
Since the Dictionary FAQ on this site didn't have complete
information on the inventors, it seemed only fair to include
it in this guide.
Mishell:
A cheeky young boy living in the city of Aquios, Mishell
seems to think of himself as an adult.
He loves to read books, and carries around tomes that
are difficult enough to make an adult's head spin.
Perhaps his tendency to memorize entire chapters
without really understanding the ideas expressed within is
evidence that, gifted as he may be, Mishell is after all, still
a child.
Eliza:
A young girl living in the town of Aquios who is quite fond
of her studies.
Eliza had dreamt of someday studying runology at Castle
Aquaria, until the loss of both her parents in the war
forced her to give it up. Her brother was too young to live
on his own, and she couldn't bear to leave him. However,
even though Eliza gave up studying under a mentor,
she still continues to study runology on her own.
Grats:
A master swordsman who wielded his sword on
battlefields long before Fayt was born.
Having been forced to retire from the regular army, this
lifelong warrior fought on as a mercenary until requrests
for his services dried up, he then continued fighting
anway as a volunteer soldier.
Unfortunately, by the time the latest war began, Grats
exceeded the age restrictions of every unit, and was
finally forced to retire completely.
Regardless, Grats still wants to fight, and wanders
aimlessly around the outskirts of the town of Kirlsa,
looking for any trouble he can find.
The Killer Chef:
A humanoid of the Drowglynn race, members of which
mainly reside in the Sanmite Republic.
Conversations with this man (or woman?) never seem to
go anywhere.
Even so, the Chef's conversational abilities are actually
vastly superior to those of the typical Drowglynn. This is
because the Chef is so interested in the human race, he's
actually taken it upon himself to learn how to cook.
The thought process of Drowglynns are, for the most
part, entirely foreign to the human mind. In fact, it is said
that not even the gods themselves are capable of
perfectly translating the language of this bizarre race.
Meryl:
A girl who studied the mechanical arts in the
technological superpower of Greeton.
Meryl had to return to her homeland with her parents after
only a few years of study. Yet even so, her time spent
growing up in Greeton's mechanically advanced society
from an early age had a major impact on her life. In spite
of her young age, Meryl may actually know more about
machines than anyone else currently living on the
continent of Gaitt.
On a side note, there are humans living in Greeton as
well, and Aquarians living in Greeton face no
discrimination in their everyday lives.
However, since the two nations have had no formal
relations for centuries, such intrepid individuals must face
the double jeopardy of entering and exiting Greeton
illegally.
Count Noppen:
A member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Airyglyph.
Although it is unknown how this gentleman managed to
survive the revolution of Airyglyph XIII, he does retain his
nobility.
Perhaps the Count has some skill in the arts, or perhaps
he is a preeminent warrior, or scholar.
It is also possible that the king kept him around simply
because he's such an amusing old chap.
Chilico:
A Bubbleheart woman who left her homeland in the
Sanmite Republic in order to find work.
Chilico may be cute and tiny, but that is simply a racial
characteristic. She's actually quite old.
And quite married.
Ansala:
Although retired at present, Ansala used to be the best or
second best practitioner of runology in the Sacred
Kingdom of Aquaria.
This lonely man poured too much of himself into his work
to ever marry, and in spite of the fact that he has already
retired, he can still be seen wandering the halls of Castle
Aquaria, alternately gladdening and annoying the
inhabitants thereof.
Ansala's skills are unquestioned, and his record is
excellenet, making him a difficult individual for the current
runologists to simply brush off.
Osman:
A priest who preaches the ways of the gods to the people
of the town of Arias.
Osman loves proverbs, precepts, and other "nice little
turns of phrase", and has written and published several
such works of his own. But for some reason, perhaps
related to the complexity of his philosophies, his works
are not terribly popular.
Gusto:
A gifted blacksmith who used to live in the town of Kirlsa,
and who specializes in forging swords.
After the output of Bequerel Mine and other mines around
Kirlsa trailed off dramatically, Gusto set off on an
adventure to find better mines to excavate on his own.
Gusto is the only person who actually competes with
dragons for the control of mineral resources in all of
Elicoor.
Cornelius:
A mysterious individual who, although he appears to be
human at first glance, most definitely is not.
Although his speech, actions, and other characteristics
mark him as a humanoid, Cornelius resembles no race to
be found anywhere in the Republic of Sanmite, nor any
race living anywhere else in the continent of Gaitt.
One must wonder what use Cornelius might find for his
trademark dilapidated bat umbrella.
One thing is certain--he can't be using it to keep the rain
off his head.
Gossam:
While Gossam is actually a rather skilled doctor, he
sends all of his patients home with medicine, no matter
how seriously ill they may be.
The only reason no one has yet filed a complaint against
Gossam is that the medicine he prescribes actually does
a miraculous job of curing his patients.
Stanice:
A woman of the Featherfolk, a race that boasts large
wings extending from their backs.
Perhaps because she is extremely light, even for a
Featherfolk, Stanice enjoys taking long "walks" in the
clouds, flying from place to place.
Nightfall often catches up to Stanice during her outings,
and she is forced to wait for daybreak all alone, up in the
treetops.
Damda Mooda:
A sybarite who is more than meets the eye.
While chopping wood in the mountains with his buddies,
Damda laerned a method of cooking that he decided to
make his own, referring to it by the absurd name of
Damda Casserole. He then started his own restaurant in
an attempt to sell this cuisine, failed miserably, and went
bankrupt in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps the tragic end to Damda's story should come as
no surprise. Anyone can bang together a casserole out of
vegetables, mushrooms, and whatever flavorings are at
hand.
Vanilla:
A young Retail Rabbit living in the Urssa Lava Caves for
an unknown reason. This eccentric character is
interested in manufacturing as well as sales, unlike most
Retail Rabbits.
One characteristic he does share with the others is an
obnoxious fixation on money.
It is possible that Vanilla may be making a living by
selling to the dragons.
But when you think about it, what would a dragon want,
anyway?
Balbados:
An old man of the Menodix race, members of which
primarily reside in the vicinity of Surferio.
Although Balbados had the courage to make a go of it in
a foreign land, and put his best efforts into running a
business in a human town, he has failed to achieve his
dreams and currently ekes out a meager existence.
Balbados makes a living day to day on crowded
thoroughfares by selling silver items that he creates with
his naturally dexterous hands.
Boyd:
A male Demonoid, which is a cross between a human and
a demon. Boyd possesses the brute strength and
symbological powers of a demon, as well as the flexibility
and stability of a human soul. But in spite of these
advantages, Boyd needs to work for a living, just as
everyone else does.
Mackwell:
An ingenious alchemist who graduated second in his
class from the runological school located inside Castle
Aquaria, which he attended as a foreign exchange
student.
Mackwell is extremely fussy about his time's value, and
always carries a schedule with each day's tasks lissted
down to the second.
Acting alone, this gifted alchemist and scholar derived
a unification theory that ties together channeled force and
magnetism, while working with Dion in Dr. Elena's
research lab. This theory is what finally allowed the
development of the Thunder Arrow to proceed.
Unfortunately, after this breakthrough, Mackwell grew fed
up with Dr. Elena's unstructured and carefree working
style, and quit the research lab.
In lieu of a retirement package, Mackwell made off with
one of Elena's books, and still travels with it to this day.
Misty Lear:
A beautiful young woman with a mysteriously timeless
presence.
Misty Lear is a superb alchemist, and since her
appearance has not changed in decades, it is rumored
that perhaps she has perfected an elixir of eternal youth.
The truth of the matter, however, is simply that the most
talented alchemist of her clan always takes the name
Misty.
Milenya:
A trueborn noble and head of one of the top two houses
of the Kingdom of Airyglyph.
Recently, however, Milenya has expressed objections to
the war with the Kingdom of Aquaria, and this has earned her
the wrath of the powerful warmonger Duke Vox. Vox had
her branded as a rebel and subjected to house arrest.
Unsurprisingly, not even Vox dared to execute the head
of a noble house with such a long and distinguished
heritage. But even a punishment as light as house arrest
must be difficult to endure for a woman who has known
nothing but luxury since bith.
Lias:
A human refugee on the continent of Gaitt, who hails from
an island nation located to the far north.
Lias is a man of many talents, excelling at horsemanship,
swordsmanship, and archery. This leads many to believe
he must have been a man of high standing in his own
country.
When questioned about his past, however, Lias always
responds with little more than a sad smile, revealing
nothing.
Louise the Diviner:
A cranky old woman with extremely prominent frown lines
permanently etched upon her forehead.
Although she led the Craftsman's Guild over a period of
four years, her cantankerous personality led even her
own flesh and blood to abandon her, and nowadays she
lives a solitary existence.
In her heyday, Louise had her own special program on
the compact communicator, in which she would show off
her soothsaying talents.
Mayu:
A girl living in the Kirlsa Training Facility who, along with
her mother, takes care of the soldiers of the Black
Brigade.
Mayu wears her heart on her sleve, and tires of things
easily, perhaps becaause her life involves day after day of
nothing but repetitive chores around the training facility.
Even though she often dreams of blowing up and venting
her anger at her tiresome existence, she's basically a
harmless girl.
Dejison:
An elderly scholar who was permanently sidetracked after
becoming enamored with the intricate workings of the
Mechanized Corps, while conducting research in the city
of Surferio.
This troubled individual, who likes to refer to himself as
"Dejison, the Invention King", has applied for patents to
countless useless inventions, which he derives by
following a feckless and scattergun approach to
inventing.
Puffy:
A stiff-haired girl who follows Fayt and his companions
around, saying, "No more, five yeras before! No more,
seven years before!" as if it were some sort of key
phrase, for no apparent reason.
This odd phrase may make perfect sense to those who
understand its context, but it means nothing at all to Fayt.
It's almost as if a desire for revenge is filling her with
rage and makes her pick fights.
Izak:
A humanoid robot created by the technological
superpower Greeton that supposedly destroyed the
Ancient Kingdom of Aquor.
Whether there was a mistake in the robot's blueprint, or
whether those who repaired it were at fault is uncertain,
but this machine, which used to be a merciless killing
machine, is now but a mere appliance.
This robot's official name is "Izak Type B-Mech".
Rigel:
A young noblewoman of the Sacred Kingdom of Aquaria
who loves nothing better than to stare off into space and
dine on fine food.
Rigel is incredibly picky when it comes to the food she
eats. She somehow became ann excellent chef herself in
the process of hounding her family's resident chef
morning, noon, and night to ensure that her meals are
prepared according to her exacting standards.
Aqua:
A beautiful girl with one of the most hopelessly doting
fathers in the world, a man named Evia.
Aqua may look as lovely as a dool, but her words pack a
powerful bite.
Of course, if you ask her father Evia, Aqua's questionable
word choice is just one more aspect of her overwhelming
cuteness.
Evia:
A long-haired man of refined tastes who used to work in
Castle Aquaria several years back.
Worried about leaving his daughter Aqua at home by
herself all day, Evia repeatedly skipped work or went
home early. The problem grew so severe that he was
eventually fired, in spite of his high status within the
castle.
But rather than regretting this turn of events, Evia was
actually pleased to have more time to spend with his
daughter.
