Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (134)

Soldiers at the front are a sight to behold! Not to mention what they say or how they say it. This guy in particular is special in many ways, and he charges for supplies.

There's a handful of soldiers here, ready to fight anytime; the battle with the monsters is 'in a temporary lull', but there's a good number of injuried people and little mediacal assistance. Some soldiers are anxious, some are scared, and many are infuriated for the delay in building the Lacour Hope. The situation doesn't seem too good, yet they have the nerve to sell equipment instead of giving it away as needed. The soldier in the screenshot is the one you can buy weapons from; like any other shopkeeper in the game, he has a different closing comment for when our heroes don't buy anything from him, and his line is probably one of the funniest. It's a nice touch that makes the game more enjoyable, but it must have been a pain to think about all these different dialogues and probably not really worth the extra effort, since most players won't read a lot of them.
