Chats are a game mechanic in Torna ~ The Golden Country where the party will react to recent events, sometimes giving pointers on how to proceed forward in the story.
Chats are unlocked during story progress, after Jin and Lora meet Mikhail. They can be viewed while making camp at campsites, by selecting the chat icon, symbolized by a speech bubble. A yellow "!" shows whether there are any new chats available. Otherwise, selecting the chat option while no new chats are available will play back the last viewed chat.
A list of all chats that can be viewed throughout the story. Chats are ordered by chronological order, with each headers being the story point they can be viewed at. If multiple chats can be viewed during said story point, they will be numbered, with chat number 1 being the first one to be available chronologically.
While Lora, Jin and Mikhail make camp for the first time
Chat 1
Characters: Jin and Lora. This chat, unlike every other ones in the game, will never expire, allowing it to be viewed at any time in the story, though it can only be viewed once.
Jin
Lora, about that battle earlier...
Lora
I know, right? We were phenomenal!
Jin
You're trying to do too much.
Lora
Aww, what? I thought you were going to praise me... I'm only trying to draw out your full power, Jin, you know that.
Jin
That's fine, and I appreciate it. What I'm saying is, please don't put yourself at risk, Lora.
Lora
We've been together a long time, haven't we, Jin? Ever since I touched your Core Crystal as a little girl and we became bonded forever as Driver and Blade...
Jin
Yeah...
Lora
It's a bond closer than blood, I think. That's part of the reason why... I want to help you too, see you grow, and be there for you.
Jin
That's beautiful, Lora, but you're a Driver, and I'm a Blade. Blades protect their Drivers in a fight. It's the natural order of things. Especially since we don't need to worry about being wounded, as long as the Core Crystal stays intact.
Lora
...While I, on the other hand, am just a human? When a Driver dies, their Blades return to their Cores... That's why you want me to be more careful, right?
Jin
Exactly.
Lora
Hmm... Right, I get it... Well, it's not like I want to make you anxious in the middle of a fight... OK, I promise not to overdo it. And if things start looking bad, I'll be sure to switch out for you.
Looks like you've got your hands full too, Hugo. I hadn't expected you to be pursuing the Aegis independently.
Hugo
We will not allow him to escape our grasp. If it comes to battle, then better to face the Aegis with the sturdiest of Blades. Blades like Brighid, and Aegaeon.
Addam
Yes... You're right.
Hugo
First, we must head to the location that we gleaned from the 4th Decade's intelligence. Perhaps something there will reveal the forward path. If the Aegis does bar our way, would you assist us in battle, Addam?
Addam
Believe me, that's always been my intention. My only fear is that we just don't have the capability to stand up to him yet...
Mythra
Well, you better work out where to get some of that capability, and fast!
Hugo
Hahaha... The Aegis seems quite commanding, doesn't she?
Perhaps...I bear some responsibility in this matter.
Jin
No, it's not that... I just...
Mythra
Pretty unusual for you to get rattled, Jin.
Jin
Hmph.
Hugo
I understand your feelings, Jin. Well, you needn't worry.
Addam
At any rate, we should probably get ourselves over to the flagship as soon as possible. And when we've finished sharing information, we can make our way back to Torigoth.
Mythra
Sounds good. I feel like we should take care of this pronto, for Jin's sake.
Milton
You're only saying that because you can't stand dealing with the stuffiness.
Mythra
Zip it, Milton!
After engaging in battle against Gort and his goons
It seems that way... They know about our trump card, and we don't have Jin... It's a tough fight from here...but we can't give up. Haze... Let's head out to Torigoth Village as soon as preparations are complete.
Your Majesty... About your intention to search for the boy...
Hugo
Be at ease, Aegaeon. Alrest is presently mired in disorder, and it is the work of the Aegis's might. Nothing can right the balance but the work of another Aegis, alike in power. It pains me to say, but perhaps it is a challenge too great for our nation to face alone.
Brighid
So it's really in the Ardainian national interest if we act together on this.
Hugo
Precisely.
Aegaeon
Understood.
Brighid
We'll take point on this one, Aegaeon. To ease the burden on His Majesty a little.
Aegaeon
Very well. Well then! I suppose we should look lively and make our way out to Seigle Fell.
Maybe the report that Hugo received has some implications for us...
Jin
Well, it won't do us much good to stand here and let our imaginations run wild. Why don't we head to the boat's strategy room and hear about it for ourselves?
Lora
Yeah, I suppose. Any idea what it'll be about, Haze?
Haze
Me? Oh, well... I don't know, really... Perhaps the Nopon have finally declared war on the Tirkin?
Addam
Now that would be quite something!
Mythra
Wouldn't it just. I'm just picturing the carnage now. An empty field completely strewn with feathers...
Milton
Well whenever that great big dealipon's over, we should get over there and stuff ourselves a couple of mattresses!
Mikhail
Heh...
Brighid
It's good to see you all have such sensitivity to the miseries of war...
After Lora talks to Addam and the party decides to go to Aletta
Hey, Addam. How come we're low on food? Like, aren't you the boss round here? Couldn't you just tax 'em a little?
Addam
I'd hate to see you in power! Life is hard here, Mythra. Aletta's in the hinterlands of Torna. The population is small compared to the capital. With the resistance forces coming in such large numbers, resources are strained. There's no preparing for it. I can't really force them to provide for us. And anyhow, taking care of ourselves is the right thing to do.
Mythra
Makes sense, I guess. A little.
Lora
We'll all need to start doing our bit from now on to try to ease the food supply problem.
Jin
That's right. It's the only way we'll be able to manage.
Milton
Hey, Master Addam! If there's anything you need me and Mik to do, then just holler, and we'll do it! I mean, it's not right for us to just freeload. We want to earn our keep!
Addam
Haha... Thanks everyone. I think we're going to be just fine.
After providing supplies to the resistance and setting out to restore Lett Bridge
We don't know Malos's location right now, and we have a little time until Hugo gets back.
Lora
We'll have to take care of those Gogols so that the repairs for Lett Bridge can continue.
Addam
You're right. We should make that our immediate objective.
Mythra
So, these Gogols... Are they tough?
Addam
One of the fiercest species in this area, for sure.
Mythra
I bet if I got serious with 'em, they'd fold in no time.
Jin
Hey, be serious. If you really went at it, you'd probably destroy what's left of the bridge.
Mythra
Hey, that's not true! ...Uhm, well, OK. Maybe it is true.
Haze
You would blast it right off into the horizon!
Addam
Lett Bridge is a vital link to the capital. you can't really get in or out without it. So we've really got to get rid of those Gogols. But I'll have to ask you to go a little easy on them, Mythra.
That Minoth guy... I don't get why he's tagging along.
Milton
Hmmm, to be honest, I don't know either. They don't tell us kids anything. Maybe I could try and get it out of them next time we're having a break or something...
Mikhail
OK, cool. But...aren't we supposed to be hurrying to the capital as quickly as possible?
Milton
Urgh... I guess...that's something else us kids don't get a say in. Typical grown-ups...
After the party rests at the Olnard's Trail campsite
Ooh, I can't wait to find out what kind of place it is!
Jin
Haze... Remember, this isn't a sightseeing expedition.
Haze
Yes, yes, I know... But surely there will be a bit of spare time for me and Lady Lora to go shopping...
Jin
I didn't mean to wag my finger at you, Haze. Of course, you're the only one that can do that stuff with Lora. If you can get away with it, more power to you.
Haze
Actually, Jin... You should come too. We're going to need someone to carry all the things we buy.
Jin
Well...all right. I did kinda want some new shoes, anyway...
Hey, you could rest up at Hyber Village today instead of camping. Did you think of that? I mean, I know how much you like stinky, damp, flea-ridden tents. But it'd make a nice change.
Hugo
Haha... Isn't it always the case, Minoth? If you plan to journey in comfort, then disappointment is sure to join your entourage.
Minoth
Yeah, that's probably true for the likes of me. But there's no need for you to be roughing it out here, Your Majesty.
Hugo
Addam is my comrade in arms. We have two hearts, but one goal.
Minoth
Heh. Simple enough reason.
Hugo
Simple, and strong. Enough to bind our friendship, like a rope weft from a stout and common plant. But you and I are no less tightly bound, are we not, Minoth?
Maybe if we wander around the capital, we can get a handle on the problems and concerns of the people.
Jin
Good idea. Vox populi...
Aegaeon
Torna has much to celebrate. Technology, wealth and peace... But I'm sure that the people here are like any other, in having many problems, small and large.
Jin
Yeah... The realities of life are more or less the same wherever you go. I wonder how helpful we can really be...
Lora
Jin... If people are in need, then we should at least try to help them. We still have time before Malos gets here. We should make good use of it.
Aegaeon
Indeed. Perhaps by aiding the community, we will find allies in unexpected places. There is surely merit in trying is there not?
It's good to see a few more smiling faces for a change... Our friends here, the people in the capital...
Mythra
Yup. Real bunch of do-gooders, we are.
Addam
Steady now, Mythra. That's just the Tornan way. Human and Blade, side by side, in perfect harmony.
Minoth
Yeah. Perfect. It's kinda rare too. I doubt you'd find another country that values human and Blade bonds so highly.
Brighid
This is the impression that you have...?
Minoth
Brighid, you're a national treasure. A high-end, fancy-schmancy Blade, admired by the commonfolk. So maybe you're a little bit sheltered from these realities...
Mythra
Yeah. Brighid's a precious pansy hovering above the clouds.
Brighid
...Quite. And, if I may venture, that must be doubly so for mighty Aegis.
Mythra
Grr...!
Addam
Hey. Cut it out, you two!
Minoth
OK, Prince. So what's our next move?
Addam
We should return to the palace and see if there's any new intelligence concerning Malos's movements.
Minoth
Sounds like a plan. I'm sure Amalthus's information is correct. But I'm a little curious as to why he hasn't moved yet.
I know! We need to drive off the Gargoyles before they do too much damage!
Mythra
Sending the Gargoyles in the advance party? That's a coward's tactic. He should be ashamed of himself.
Addam
It's cowardly, sure...but it's working. The people in the capital are in total disarray.
Lora
We have to do something to help and fast.
Hugo
Comrades... Your haste to act is natural, and to be praised. But to pluck an unripe fruit is to taste a bitter defeat.
Aegaeon
His Majesty puts forth that we shouldn't rush in without the proper preparation.
Addam
Yes... You're right. Thank you both. Cool-headed thinking is exactly what we need at a time like this. Let's make sure all our preparations are complete before we head back to the capital.
After the party defeats all three Gargoyles attacking Auresco
If you had, you'd have wiped out half the population.
Mythra
Yes, but- But...
Minoth
I hate to say it, but that bastard was just better than us. Luckily, for whatever reason, he's seen fit to give us a bit more time. It's up to us to use that time to do whatever we can.
Addam
Minoth is right. Though the going will doubtless be tough, we have no choice but to press on.
Haze
That's right! Let's get Jin to make us a nice big dinner.
Mythra
I'm not quite in the mood to party, but some food does sound nice.
Addam
First, we need to report to the king. Everything else comes after.
After the party reports that Malos stole Torna's seal to the Tornan King and they decide to meet Azurda in Torna's Womb
Ahh, don't call me that. Though I do feel like I understand Addam a bit better now...
Minoth
Hahah.
Lora
Well, Malos has given us some time. Our first priority should be to make sure that the people of Torna are safe.
Aegaeon
In the wake of an attack on the capital, the stability of the country is at its most precarious. Alleviating any uneasiness on the part of the citizens is indeed a most pressing concern.
Lora
Yeah... And in doing that, perhaps we'll grow a little stronger, too.
Minoth
Then let's see what's going in the capital and with the resistance.
Lora
Thanks for sticking around, Minoth. I'm sure we'll end up getting into a lot more scrapes before this is all over.
Huh? Really? Torna's in crisis, and I look as if I'm having a good time...
Jin
I don't mean to criticize. When I think about all that life has thrown at you so far, maybe all this isn't so tough to swallow.
Lora
Of course, I'm sad about my mother... But I just have too much going on at the moment to grieve properly for her. And so much has changed. I'm a Knight of Torna now. All I can do is live each day with everything I've got.
Jin
But, still...
Lora
I couldn't do it without you, you know. Without the support I get from you, and from everyone.
Jin
It's true. We all need each other.
Lora
But, Jin... I still need more. I'm not satisfied... Torna is full of people counting on us for what we can do. Not just Torna, but all across Alrest.
Jin
Yes... That's also true. Lora... Just remember that some things are impossible.
Lora
I know. But that's not going to stop me from doing whatever I can!
The preparations for the evacuation of Torna are well underway.
Jin
We managed to circumvent a lot of the difficulties, thanks to Lora.
Aegaeon
Our chances in a confrontation with Malos seem to grow ever larger.
Mythra
Yeah. It's true. But Malos isn't just going to wait for us forever. And I feel like I'm gonna get pins and needles if I have to sit on my hands any longer.
Haze
We need to face up to this now. It's make or break time.
Aegaeon
His Majesty puts forth that we should return briefly to the capital.
Minoth
Well, let's head out there then!
After reaching Community level 4 and going to Auresco, Main Gate
We gotta make sure we don't get in anyone's way when the action's going down.
Mikhail
Yeah. I'll try.
Milton
All right! Let's go!
Lora
Whoa, slow down. What's the hurry? First, we have to head back to the capital and get some much-needed rest at the inn.
Milton
But Loooora, we're not tired!
Lora
Now, now. We won't beat Malos unless we're all operating at peak performance. We can't lose concentration for an instant, or it could be the last mistake we ever make. So. Let's rest up.
Milton
OK, Lora... I get it. Hear that, Mik? We're gonna go rest now!
Mikhail
...Cool.
After the party sets off for the Soaring Rostrum and Malos awakens Torna.
Malos is waiting for us in the Tornan core, right?
Addam
That's right. The way to the Titan's core lies beyond the Dannagh Desert and through the Holy Gate of Altana. It's a highly important location to the Kingdom of Torna, so there are usually multiple safety measures... But Malos must have used the seal to blow past all of them...
Mythra
We have to hurry.
Addam
Yes... The Tornan Titan has assumed its true form. We don't have much time.
After the party arrives at the Holy Gate of Altana
Indeed. Hugo. I'm sorry I dragged you this far into all of this.
Hugo
Not at all. The Aegis needed to be stopped. I wasn't about to shy away from the task. Stopping Malos is just as much a service to Mor Ardain as it is to Torna.
Addam
Lora, I feel I must apologize to you as well. Did you ever imagine, when we ran into each other in Feltley, that we'd end up here?
Lora
No, I can't say that I did... But don't worry about it. I feel like defeating him is my destiny too. I've met so many people in such a short time...got to know them, seen them laugh and cry... And I've gained friends I'm never going to forget. There are lots of things in this world worth protecting. So that's what I'm going to do.
Addam
Well said... That was so moving, I think I'm going to...*sniff*...
