Our Chosen Paths

Dimitri
Ferdinand
Linhardt
When you think of it, as one approaches the end of a war, the sacrifices only grow larger, don't they?
While those of the losing side make desperate attempts to turn the war in their favor.
Neither side will give. I only wish we'd consider those who lose their lives in that struggle.
Yes, exactly my point. Let's be careful to ensure we don't lose our own lives, Professor.
Perhaps, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept your own survival depends on a throw of the dice.
I can appreciate that, but just because a choice is better does not mean that it's good.
Caspar
Bernadetta
I don't have many good memories of her if I'm being honest, but she's dearer to me than my father.
If you happen to see her, please make sure she's not caught up in all the fighting.
She's only a civil servant, so hopefully she takes a cue from her Bernie and stays inside.

Dedue

Sylvain
I've been thinking about how we've got our own ideas about justice...and so does the Empire.
And what's coming, it's not just a battle between us and them. It's our ideals that are fighting.
Whoever wins will say they were right and the other side was wrong. And I get it. That's how it goes...
But nobody's willing to talk or compromise, so we'll fight to the death to prove the other guy's wrong.
It won't be an easy battle, but let's make sure we come back alive. Right, Professor?

Hanneman
I've avoided the damned place ever since I abandoned my nobility. Swore never to return.
Now here we are. To return in this manner... Well, I can't say it is something I ever imagined.
Especially as I'm returning to end the Empire. What a strange feeling, breaking one's history.
Manuela
Life can be tough, you know? But if you've got your friends to help you through, it can be a lot easier.
Maybe you butt heads sometimes...but that's OK. That's how you build bonds, right?
And I've got friends, Professor. Plenty of those. It's true love that seems to have passed me by.
Gilbert
Alois
Catherine
Shamir
Cyril
Gatekeeper
Momentum's really picking up for this final battle, huh? Even I'm starting to feel tense! Me!
Enbarr's history goes back 1,400 years. That even predates the founding of the Empire.
But hey, no need to worry about the monastery while you're fighting the final battle. I've got it covered! I'll defend it to my last!
Shifty Merchant
Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.
Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

Monk
Kingdom Knight
I hope you won't be caught unprepared. I've heard that she'll stop at nothing in the pursuit of victory.
Be careful of that Hubert too. The Minister of the Imperial Household. They say he's a cunning strategist.
Merchant
Soldier
Merchant
While on some business, I went to see how the Kingdom capital is getting on. There are still some things to work out before it can be restored.
But generally, things seem to have calmed down. It's on its way to resuming its old energy.
I think this will end up being a better Kingdom than before. I really believe that.
Citizen
Knight of Seiros
If so, then our strategy will be to gain control of the streets, and then assault the castle.
A street battle followed by a castle invasion... It's just one battle after another. It'll be tough, but we have to win. For Lady Rhea.
Boy
Yuri
Balthus
I hear that damn Dimitri guy plans to chat with the emperor. Can you believe that nonsense?
Really, though. We've been trying to kill each other, and he wants to shoot the breeze? Is he dumb or just insane?
No "maybes" about it, pal. You ask me, they should settle it like civilized folk—with their fists.
That a fact? Heh, you two are birds of a feather. You ask me, they should throw some fists and be done with it.
Guess it's up to the One True King of Grappling to talk some sense into ol' Dimitri. When I'm done with him, he'll be ready to brawl!
Constance
Hapi
The war might be over soon. All this time we've been fighting, and the end comes in the blink of an eye.
I have no idea what I'll do afterwards, though. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Easy for you to say. You obviously know what you're going to do. Which is...what, exactly?
I will. Though you already seem to know what you're going to do. Which is...what, exactly?
Actually, don't tell me your plans just yet. Let's revisit this topic when the war has drawn to a close.
Anna
I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.
I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.
There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.
I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.
Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.
But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.
Abysskeeper
The war is careening headfirst toward its grand finale. Do me a favor and get through this mess alive, OK?
After the dust settles, maybe I'll go on to guard other entrances in other parts of the world. I'm a dreamer, my friend. Always have been.
Resident
Monk
I did indeed. I was acquainted with your parents. I've been wanting to speak with you for a while now.
Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?
