Title. Let's appreciate the writing of some videogames.

Just drop the name of the game and the quote(s) in words / screenshots / video. Feel free to write a few words about the quote. Mark spoiler if necessary.



Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Verso "Wheee?'
Esquie "Yes! 'Wheeeeee!' Back in the day, when there was nothing in the world except the four of us, flying around on ADVENTURES."
Verso "Ah, I see. And... "Whooo?"
Verso "How come you're not grumpy like François?"
Esquie "I AM grumpy."
Verso "Oho, are you now?"
Esquie "I too am 'Whooo.' But I'm also 'Wheee!' So the 'Wheee' balances the 'Whooo.'"
Full sequence

教えってなんだか当たり前のことばっかりな気がするんだよね。
大人になると当たり前のことができなくなっちゃうのかなぁ。
I feel like the teachings are all common sense.
I guess people stop being able to do the obvious things when they become adults.

In-game Translation:
I feel like the teachings are all so obvious. Like, doesn't everyone already know that stuff?
I guess people stop being able to do the simple stuff when they grow up.
Tried to revise the EN translation a bit. They are some of my favorite lines in this well-written game.
 
There's a part of a poem in 1000xRESIST that goes like this:

ALLMO hekki hate to love
That sister's sin we are made of
From shell to sister, hair to hair
Cut it down from sphere to square

There's a NPC that you can discuss the meaning of the whole poem and it's interesting watching her come with what she believes is the meaning

I like the idea of this thread and I loved the quote in the OP (E33 has some good writing in general; or maybe it feels particularly good because it's rare to have that embedded in a JRPG :P).

Nothing to contribute right now, but I'll try to remember it the next time I encounter something neat.
