Did the two extra 'ow' really warrant a scrolling dialog box? Sure, it's not as bad as others I've seen, both in this game and in older ones, but this one made me chuckle.Running around the crystal cave in frantic search of the Synard, and happily slaying opposing monsters while they're at it, our heroes see the red-haired stalker once again, this time unseen (wonder how she didn't notice eight people running by). Her entrance this time is one of the most spectacular: she's running out of that passage on the right, when she suddenly trips and falls flat on her face ('Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...'; yes, this definitely needs at least 5 'ow's to be well-conveyed). But the best part has yet to come! After swiftly getting up, looking around thinking aloud about how embarrassing it was and hoping nobody saw her, she runs back through the passages she just came out of! Not to mention she drops her ID card in the process.
You'd think our friends would simply laugh off at that performance, but Claude can't help but point out that this girl is running around the very same, violent-monster-filled cave they're in, by herself, and she doesn't seem to have suffered a single scratch (well, aside from those she just got while tripping). That noted, the player can choose to pick up the ID card the stalker dropped (it's a long walk and it usually means 4 or 5 extra random battle encounters), in order to give it back to her next time they meet (Claude is a gentleman after all).
