A Heropon's Perspective is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Riki
Sharla! Tell Riki about Mechon!
Riki
Riki know nothing about history of Mechon with Hom Hom.
Riki feel stupid!
Sharla
I'm not the best person to ask.
Sharla
There's so much to cover, I'm not sure where to start...
Riki
Sharla should hurry up!
Sharla
I'm sorry, Riki. It's just...
For as long as I remember, the Mechon have been the enemy.
But if you asked me why, I couldn't answer you.
Riki
Yeah! Riki not know too!
Sharla
Riki, what do you think of when someone mentions the Mechon?
Riki
Mechon look like sad machines.
Sharla
That's an unusual perspective.
Sharla
I've never seen them that way, but I guess I can see what you mean.
Riki
Riki always think this!
Sharla
Well, our backgrounds are very different.
I've never had time to think about their feelings.
Riki
Sharla has lost many friends. Riki not sensitive to Sharla.
Riki always pon around when should talk serious.
Sharla
No, Riki, it's not that.
It's actually quite nice to find someone who thinks differently.
The Mechon have never attacked your home, thank goodness.
So it's natural that you'd have a different perspective.
Riki
Sharla so kind to Riki.
Riki not know what to say.

Sharla
It's all right, Riki! You don't have to say anything.
Sharla
What are you talking about?!
Sharla
Are you saying you feel sorry for them?!
Riki
Sharla not like Riki's words?
Sharla
Well... I guess I don't mean that.
We're so different. We're bound to see things differently.
Riki
Riki think Mechon with faces most sad looking.
Sharla
I don't disagree with you there.
When we found out there were Homs inside them...
It was shocking, to say the least.
+300
Riki
Riki feel lucky to travel with Sharla and friends. Riki learn lots!
Riki feel scared most of time, but see and hear many things.
They make Riki better Heropon!
Sharla
This is unusual for you, Riki.
Sharla
I mean, curiosity is a good thing, but what's brought this on?
Riki
Riki glad Sharla asked!
When Mechon attack colonies, Riki and villagers know nothing.
Just sit in village pon pon ponning about like normal day!
Sharla
I guess Makna wasn't really on the Mechon's radar.
Riki
Riki never saw a Mechon before. Only heard of them in whispers.
On Prison Island was first time Riki sw faced one. Riki scared!
Sharla was brave though. Riki embarassed.
Sharla
Don't beat yourself up, Riki.
I've been fighting the Mechon since I was... well, your height.
Riki
Sharla and friends stronger than Riki. Riki not good enough.
Sharla
That's nonsense, Riki!
Sharla
I think you've got it all wrong.
Sharla
I know the Nopon and Mechon never crossed paths before...
But that doesn't mean we think any less of you in a fight.
Riki
Sharla and friends think Riki crash-pow Mechon OK?
Sharla
Yes! So stop worrying about it!
We all have our own reasons for fighting, you included.
Whether we've lost something or have people to fight for.
Riki
Yay! Riki glad he talk to Sharla!
+300
Sharla
I hope I helped, at least a little bit.
Just remember, you're one of us! We're all in this together.
Sharla
No, Riki. That's not true.
Sharla
What's got into you? This isn't the Riki I know.
Normally you're brimming with self-confidence!
Riki
R-really? Riki not Riki?
Sharla
We know the Nopon and Mechon never crossed paths before...
But that doesn't mean we think you're not up to the challenge.
You're one of us, Riki.
Riki
Riki sorry, Sharla. Riki feel better now.
Sharla
Don't mention it, Riki.
We've all got our own reasons for fighting in this war.
Some fight for their family, some for the friends they lost.
Riki
Riki happy he talk to Sharla! Riki super happy!
+300
Sharla
You and me are friends, Riki. Don't ever forget that.
Let's fight to the very end! For all the people of this world!
