And They Were Never Heard From Again Repede

WARNING: Per wiki policy, spoilers are unmarked on Heartwarming pages.

• The whole game arguably - what might be the true major theme is the friendship, the bond, betwixt every member of the cast as they become Truthful Companions.
• The "Karol'south Growing Up" skit, triggered when Karol uses a Mystic Arte in battle for the starting time time.
  • A lot of Yuri's interations with Karol are like this, equally nosotros see Yuri grow from being annoyed by him to becoming something of a Big Blood brother Mentor to him.
  • Actually, from the showtime, though he's annoyed past Karol, Yuri treats Karol well. Considering his reputation in Danghrest, Yuri is probably one of the commencement people to be genuinely overnice to him. The other is probably Nan.
• In Keiv Moc, Karol reveals he's afraid of bugs. Rita approaches him well-nigh information technology, and gives him some problems spray to go along them away. This marks the first fourth dimension she'due south nice to Karol as opposed to her usual snark or hitting him.
• Despite several skits indicating that Repede supposedly hates Estelle, there are quite a few subtle implications that he actually likes her.
  • When the political party briefly splits up at Yormgen, Repede can be seen sitting right next to Estelle. He could have easily stuck with Yuri, or sat with Judith or Karol or Patty, but nope; he sticks with Estelle.
  • Shortly subsequently that, in Mantaic, Estelle is revealed to accept eavestdropped on an of import conversation between Yuri and Flynn. And who was eavesdropping alongside her? Repede. The dog could have either tagged along with Yuri in the first place or stayed behind, but nope, he went with her. He's also seen standing right next to her in the very next scene, when the entire political party is together, looking perfectly happy.
  • Equally noted further downward below, the unabridged political party bands together and combines their strength to save Estelle from her traumatic Distress Ball; this includes Repede, who contributes to this equally as eagerly as anybody else in the party.
  • All things considered, is nigh seems less like Repede doesn't like Estelle, and more than like he enjoys trolling her, similar to how he trolls Rita. As noted in the entry nigh Repede and Rita's relationship, Redepe existence a dog, he'due south basically every bit as much of a child every bit Rita and Karol. So, what better target for some skilful-natured sass than the resident sheltered, pretty, rich girl? Information technology almost crosses into Funny territory when you recall nigh it.
• Yuri'south fury at Estelle saying information technology's okay to die after she finds out the Atrocious Truth about the Children of the Total Moon is this when you consider his graphic symbol. He really does care, fifty-fifty if he'southward not too skillful at expressing himself.
• When Karol is fighting the Baitojoh by himself in the Bract Drifts of Zopheir, and Yuri and Judith are yelling at him to run, nosotros become this from Raven:

  Raven: Motion, damn information technology! If ya don't, the kid's gonna...

  • Information technology took a moment for this troper to realize that he was talking to himself. To pinnacle it off, after Karol passes out from exhaustion, Raven'due south the one who carries him out of the Bract Drifts.
    • Which is especially nice, because dorsum in the contrary climate on Desier, he claims his back is "reserved for ladies only".
  • And after, when Karol collapses from the exertion, everyone is very plain So Proud of You in regards to Karol. From Yuri to Rita, they all are super impressed and proud of how far Karol has come.
    • Rita is also the one who has a skit worrying virtually him, though she denies information technology.
• When Yuri tries to go off to Zaphias past himself to "do what has to exist done", he takes a brief nap in the forest afterwards having a alone conversation with Repede...only to exist kicked, punched, and fireballed awake past the balance of the party (who were in fact led in that location personally by Repede) for trying to bear the pain by himself.
• In one case they become to Zaphias, at that place are two skits that activate that have Raven console Yuri and Rita. It's nice to take the old man show his experience every bit much every bit him supporting those two who might be taking the whole situation what with Estelle perchance being too far gone to be saved the worst of the group.
• "I WANT TO Exist MYSELF...I Desire TO KEEP ON...LIVING!"
• After Zaphias, the whole political party bands together, to save Estelle from Alexei and forestall her ability from going out of control, lending their strength to ability Rita's formula to free her from the sphere she was imprisoned in.
  • And later she's free, Estelle falls into Yuri's artillery.

  Yuri: Welcome back.

  Estelle: It's good to be back.

• The nighttime before the party heads to Zaude, Yuri has a conversation with Flynn in the latter's room about the challenges the world now faces. They've butted heads ideologically over the class of the game, sometimes violently, and their friendship has been repeatedly tested. But, when the camera zooms in on Flynn, yous can clearly see that he...has framed and mounted a crayon cartoon of him and Yuri equally children, correct at eye-level at his desk.
  • The same nighttime, you find out from Raven that Estelle smacked him on the head and said they were fifty-fifty. Think nearly that for a second. Estelle was imprisoned, listen raped, tortured into doing Alexei'southward bidding, and forced to use her power (the same power that she had used to heal every injured person she could find) to hurt people, including her friends. All because Raven kidnapped her in the showtime identify. And all it takes for them to be fifty-fifty is a smack on the head.
  • Yous also can find Karol with the Lower Quarter people. What's he doing? Just putting his various skills to use to prepare up their important things that got crushed or battered due to the crisis. Repede even helped out in that location. Yuri couldn't be more than proud and Hanks makes information technology very articulate that he's also impressed past them. Consider Karol's past in Dahngrest (with All of the Other Reindeer applied to him thanks to his guild hopping) and this is extra heartwarming equally it proves just how far he's come.
• When facing Alexei at Zaude, one by one each character challenges his justifications for his crimes. Considering his past actions, Raven's is particularly poignant.

  Raven: The ends don't always justify the means, dominate. These kids taught me that.

• After Zaude, when Yuri wakes up in his room after falling off the tower — 1 by ane y'all find your party members, who accept been searching beyond the globe for him for days. All of them limited open up, emotional joy that he's alright (special mention to Estelle pretty much glomping the guy), and there are not one, but two total skits where the political party discusses how happy they are that they're all finally together once again.
• Belius's revival as Undine counts, especially considering the tragic circumstances of her initial decease.
• The dark before the terminal boxing, anybody in the party gets a Friendship Moment with someone else. The conversation topics range in tone from musing on one'southward place in the new world, to...Raven telling Karol that his life's dream involves being surrounded by hot women, but all serve to cement the grouping's True Companionship and inseparable friendship.
  • The PS3 version includes Patty talking to Flynn. She shows her existent historic period by dispensing advice to him well-nigh not taking all burdens on himself. Flynn's reaction to this, that of thoughtfulness followed by appreciation, is poignant and merely as heartwarming as the other interactions.
  • Special mention to Yuri and Estelle'due south conversation, which has the music box render of Ring a Bell playing nether information technology, and contains what can be interpreted equally a sweet beloved confession:

  Yuri: "The Adephagos won't kill united states of america. We'll live on."
  Estelle: "And I'll be able to stay with everyone. With you."
  (In that location is a long pause where they look at each other, broken when Estelle looks at the footing/her hands)
  Yuri: "Thanks. I feel the same way."

• Yuri and Flynn's fight to settle the differences between the two of them. The two of them are only snarking at each other and bear witness that they're best friends who always take each other's dorsum.
  • Even better, a line that Yuri might have been waiting to hear all game, even though he's non at that place when it's finally said aloud:
• Rita makes it clear that she really doesn't like Repede over the course of the game, to the point she most never uses his name. She calls him "dog" in the skits and one of her battle quotes existence a sarcastic "Proficient job, Spot" (which started life as a scathing "Pretty practiced... for a dog"). However, battle with them together at the finish of the game and Rita will sometimes say in a genuine, warm tone: "Dainty job, Repede!".
  • Some of the interactions between them make them come off similar Vitriolic All-time Buds and it's darn cute if yous think of it like that- two of the skits can exist seen as a pair: "Joy and Deplorable on the High Seas" (Skit number 371) and "Not and then Good With Heights" (number 373). In the outset, Rita decides to make fun of Repede'due south fearfulness of water by dragging him to the edge of the Fiertia. In the 2d, Repede does the verbal same thing to the acrophobic Rita when they're in the air. In Repede's 100 Human Melee skit ("A Dog's Thoughts on Boxing"), they outset a fight with each other (information technology should be noted Rita is the only person Repede ever fights with- he "plays" with Karol and messes with Raven, but Rita'southward the merely 1 where it'south a fight) When yous think about it as Repede getting revenge, Repede's capable of existence just as much of a kid as Rita and Karol. On the nicer side, in that location's a skit where Rita is allowed to proper name Repede'southward Mystic Arte over Karol and Raven'southward suggestions ("The Christening"), a skit where Rita is clearly jealous that Yuri can understand Repede ("Dog Language"), a skit where it's articulate Repede actually does similar Rita ("Rita and Repede"), a skit where Rita asks Repede to help her with Raven beingness a pervert even though Yuri is too correct there ("Manly Musk"), and ii where Rita and Repede share in common exasperation over Raven ("A Change of Pace" and "From Mind to Game"). It's kind of ambrosial.
• How near Leblanc, Boccos, and Adecor realising that the people of the Lower Quarter were left behind (this pregnant they actually are familiar with the faces of people in the Lower Quarter), doubling dorsum, and taking them to the castle when they couldn't get them out of Zaphias? They fight very hard to protect the people of the Lower Quarter from Alexei's supporters, people the other knights didn't even seem to notice had not been rescued and people nobody else even bothered to try to salve because of how thick the mess was down there. They went against orders to do it, too, substantially defying everything the Lower Quarter (and Yuri especially) has come up to expect of knights- especially those iii, since they have a reputation for "bullying Yuri". If you lot ever had any doubts nearly them, they should have been cleared with that. Raven even compliments their valour, which means a lot to them, considering he'southward their commander whom they deeply respect. What they did is both this and their Moment of Awesome.
• When y'all go to Port Nor afterward Heracles, Pauly, the little male child who you rescue from Ragou'due south place, will tell Yuri he drew him a picture and he wants to prove it to him onetime (if you talk to Pauly). The picture? It's apparently of Yuri himself.
• How Karol gets his Problems Jiff arte. Raven decides to play a joke on him and say a swarm of bugs is coming. Rita, who upward until now has been very rude to Karol, promptly sprays Raven in the face with problems spray and reassures Karol. She walks over to him and gives him the bugspray- "Here, accept this. Aspio-make insect spray, the best to keep the bugs away!". Karol is very surprised by this, but Rita doesn't fire upward like usual, but proverb she actually doesn't mind and tells him not to spray information technology nigh people. Even her teasing near his freaking out in 1 of the skits is pretty lighthearted compared to how she usually is.
• If you complete the Monster Book, y'all get this skit (PS3 version).
• Very easy to miss and crosses into Tear Jerker territory, merely try bringing Karol to the fight with Schwann. He says this, before the boss in question interrupts:

  "I really liked you, Raven. I couldn't tell y'all before, but I... If my dad-!"

  • Oh, and the entire party exchange after that fight, where even Rita wants Schwann to exit when them, even though he's the 1 who handed Estelle off to Alexei, and she looks equally depressed as Karol. Schwann, or rather Raven, then pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to get the party out alive. Rita and Karol, once again, have the nearly upset reactions to this, and from the tone of her phonation, she's holding dorsum tears. It'due south also Rita who tells Leblanc and the Tweedles that their helm is the only reason the political party is all the same alive. From Rita, considering her antagonism towards Raven, that'due south as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking.
• After Yuri recovers from the incident at Zaude, every political party fellow member is enthralled to meet him. Fifty-fifty Rita genuinely smiles about information technology... At least until her Tsundere habits kick in.
• Rita is normally conspicuously absent or at least silent when you talk to kids, and indeed most of the talking with children thing is handled past Yuri, Estelle, and occasionally Repede. However, talk to the Krityan child in Myorzo, the i who has you race Ba'ul, and Rita does most of the talking. She is the one who sticks up for Ba'ul (though it'southward Yuri that corrects the kid on "Ball's" name). When y'all talk to him to get Judy'southward Into the Heaven costume, cheque the speech bubbles- information technology'south Rita who tells the kid he'due south cool for being able to count 1,000 FS.
  • Considering this sidequest pops up in the third arc, information technology likewise works to show how Rita'due south friendship with the rest has afflicted her; she's much more open to talking to people and much less belligerent.
• One skit has Yuri reassuring Estelle that he'll take intendance of her if she turns into a frog.
• For once, the Well-Intentioned Extremist really changes his mind, helps the party in the end, and doesn't dice. The final cutscene also shows the entire party going in for a hug after the whole plan works. It'southward one of the virtually unambiguously positive endings in the series.
• Later on the second boss fight against the Cursed Wanderer, Seifer is unlocked as an selection for Patty's Mystic Arte. It'southward heartwarming to see that even after being transformed into a monster who had to exist put down, he can notwithstanding be of aid to his captain.
