Cutscene Audio

This is a sub-page of Xenoblade Chronicles/Unused Audio.

These are all unused lines that would have fit in unused or edited dialogue scenes. The more action-y cutscenes where dialogue automatically plays are stored in a different location in memory, and have the character voice lines, background music, and sound effects all baked into the same audio file.

File name	Character	Speech	Description	Source
ahx.pkb_2609	Dunban	"Hold the line! Take out the advancing Mechon!"	Meant for the first battle, presumably before engaging the enemies.	Robotortoise
ahx.pkb_2610		"Help the wounded! We'll take care of things here."	Meant for sometime during the first battle.
ahx.pkb_2611		"There's hundreds of them! But we can handle it. Just take them out one by one."	Meant for sometime during the first battle, as a sort of tutorial.
ahx.pkb_2612		"There's no end to them! Use your Arts to take them down!"	Meant for sometime during the first battle, again, as part of a tutorial.
ahx.pkb_2613		"They're not match for the power of the Monado! The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"	Meant for sometime during the first battle, likely after defeating a few enemies.
ahx.pkb_2614		"The Mechon M51!"	Dunban calling out the enemy's name, again, as part of the first battle with the Mechon.
ahx.pkb_2615		"Ha! A Mechon M63!"	Dunban calling out the Mechon's name, again, as part of the first battle.
ahx.pkb_2616		"This one's an M69!"	Dunban calling out the Mechon's name, again, as part of the first battle.
ahx.pkb_2617		"Dickson! Mumkhar! Now's your chance! Get in close and take this thing down!"	Dunban telling Dickson and Mumkhar to deal the final hit. Most likely would have been used when the Mechon was low on health.
ahx.pkb_2618		"Bring on the next one!"	Dunban taunting the Mechon.
ahx.pkb_2619		"They just keep coming!"	Dunban mildly upset about the influx of Mechon.
ahx.pkb_2735 and ahx.pkb_2736	Reyn	"See? I told you Shulk wouldn't get a scratch!"	One of four conversations seemingly intended for use in Tephra Cave on the quest to pick up the Ether Cylinders. This one is presumably for after Reyn did well during a battle.	Robotortoise
ahx.pkb_2735 and ahx.pkb_2736	Fiora	"Don't go on about it..."
ahx.pkb_2737 and ahx.pkb_2738	Shulk	"Looks like you're my guardian angel, Fiora!"	Two of four conversations seemingly intended for use in Tephra Cave on the quest to pick up the Ether Cylinders. These two are presumably for after Fiora saves Shulk during a battle.
ahx.pkb_2737 and ahx.pkb_2738	Fiora	"Not 'looks like'. I am."
ahx.pkb_2741 and ahx.pkb_2742	Shulk	"Fiora! It looks like you are my guardian angel!"
ahx.pkb_2741 and ahx.pkb_2742	Fiora	"Not 'looks like'. I am!"
ahx.pkb_2739 and ahx.pkb_2740	Fiora	"What were you saying about Shulk not getting a scratch?"	One of four conversations seemingly intended for use in Tephra Cave on the quest to pick up the Ether Cylinders. This one is presumably for after Shulk gets KO'd during a battle.
ahx.pkb_2739 and ahx.pkb_2740	Reyn	"I know...sorry."
ahx.pkb_2830	Shulk	grunt	These lines come just before the lines for the "Aftermath of the Mechon Attack" cutscene. The dialogue is very similar to the beginning of the start of the "Fiora's Death" cutscene, but that one is a "cinematic/action-y" cutscene unlike "Aftermath of the Mechon Attack." It's possible these lines indicate that "Fiora's Death" was originally meant to be a full "non-cinematic" cutscene, or that the beginning of it would have been a short "non-cinematic" one that led into a longer "cinematic" one.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_2831	Shulk	"The Monado... It's not working!"
ahx.pkb_2832	Reyn	"Oi! What's going on?!"
ahx.pkb_2833	Dunban	"Why? The Monado should cut through Mechon with ease."
ahx.pkb_3024	Imperial Guard	panting	Stored just before the line this High Entian guard says upon running into the room in the cutscene "The Divine Seer." When he does so, there's a noticeable pause before anyone reacts which definitely implies this line was meant to play. Why it was cut is unknown.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3054	Kallian	"Presenting Nopon Frontier Village Chief Dunga."	The only place where these could fit is when the 3 characters mentioned would arrive in the audience chamber.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_3055		"Presenting Homs Colony 6 representative Otharon."
ahx.pkb_3056		"Presenting Homs Colony 9 representative Dickson."
ahx.pkb_3057	Melia	"Tyrea!"	Despite being stored among lines for the Gaur Plains cutscenes, these audio files are all exact copies of lines used for the first half of the first cutscene of the "Melancholy Tyrea" sidequest. Why this was done, which of the copies are the ones used in game, and why Melia's and Sharla's lines were the only ones duplicated is unknown. Also interesting is that ahx.pkb_3060 is a copy of a line that ended up being unused.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3058		"What are you doing here?!"
ahx.pkb_3059		"You're hurt.
ahx.pkb_3060		"Tyrea!"
ahx.pkb_3061		"Tyrea, what happened?"
ahx.pkb_3062	Sharla	"No. ...It looks like she just passed out."
ahx.pkb_3063		"Let's get her to the infirmary."
ahx.pkb_3064		"Reyn!"
ahx.pkb_3065		"Please."
ahx.pkb_3071	Shulk	"So this is the Bionis' Knee. ...It's massive!"	This line is placed just before the lines for the "Arrival at Gaur Plain" cutscene. Why it was cut is unknown.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3154	Juju	grunt	Among the lines for the "Sharla's Depressing Tale" cutscene, just after Reyn scolds Juju and he says he'll make dinner before escaping. Possibly cut because the start of Juju's line following this one has him already making a sort of grunting noise.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3205	Sharla	"Colony 6 is at the base of the Bionis' Knee."	Stored just before Sharla's first spoken line in the "I Can Fight, Too!" cutscene where she explains Juju's expected route. It's unclear why it was cut.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3324	Otharon	"Tell me, how long ago was Juju taken?"	These lines are located in the middle of the cutscene where you talk to Otharon for the first time. Since you can change the time however you want, this wasn't needed.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_3325	Sharla	"Last night."
ahx.pkb_3326	Otharon	"Then there's still time."
ahx.pkb_3399	Xord	"Want some more, Monado moron?!"	An alternate take of what Xord says at the start of the fight. There is no filter applied on it, unlike all of his other lines.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_3430	Shulk	"Okay."	Stored right before Shulk's final line of the "Riding the Freight Elevator" cutscene. It's unknown why it was cut.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3512	Dickson	"It might sound like a walk in the park, but it's gonna be quite a hike. Are you lot ready?"	This line is among the lines for the "Reunion of the Heroes" cutscene. The fact that Dickson's final spoken line of this cutscene, "Follow me," is stored just before this unused one implies that he was originally planned to say it earlier on and this line would follow.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3635	Shulk	"Oh... Nothing."	This audio file is an identical copy of ahx.pkb_3634 for the "Through the Inside of the Bionis" cutscene. It's unknown why this was done nor which of the two is the one used in game.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_3637	Dunban	"Hmm?"	Despite the fact that this line is stored in the proper spot to respond to Shulk's line speculating whether the Bionis is dead or not during the "Through the Inside of the Bionis" cutscene, in game Dunban unexpectedly says "Huh?" instead. This is a reuse of audio file ahx.pkb_5694 (which plays during and is stored among the lines for a late-game cutscene where Miqol talks to the group) and it's unknown why this was done.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4052	Reyn	"Why was she wearing a mask?"	Stored just before the party's dialogue speculating about Melia's true identity in the "Lady Melia" cutscene lines. Perhaps implies Melia was originally going to enter Alcamoth ahead of the group and would have been wearing her royal disguise upon returning.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4161	Sharla	"'Her Highness'? You mean Melia?"	Stored just after Alvis' line referring to Melia as "Her Highness" during the cutscene "The Divine Seer." Presumably cut either for pacing or because it conflicts with the fact that the party had already heard a guard call her "Lady Melia" before.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4162	Dunban	"It had crossed my mind, but she fooled us all."		Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4234	Shulk	"That's Melia."	This is stored after the final line of the cutscene "Before the Announcement." Likely originally meant to lead into the "cinematic" cutscene, and likely cut because it's a while before Melia actually shows up in said cutscene. Could also tie in with Reyn's earlier unused line referring to her wearing a mask: perhaps originally the party was meant to have seen her in her disguise before, but when that moment was cut this line also needed to be cut because Shulk wouldn't be able to recognize her.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4364	Lorithia	"Alvis."	Despite this file being stored among the lines for the High Entia Tomb cutscenes, the only cutscene where Lorithia talks to Alvis is "Ministerial Affairs," the lines for which are stored much later.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4432	Tyrea	"A filthy homs half-breed has no right to the throne!"	2 duplicates of the line used when Tyrea confronts Melia in the tomb. For some reason they both have different filters.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_4442	Tyrea	"A filthy homs half-breed has no right to the throne!"		Laenthor
ahx.pkb_4475	Shulk	"Hi"	Would have been used when entering the audience chamber to ask about passage to Prison Island.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_4536	Shulk	"Him?"	In the cutscene with Sorean and Shulk alone, but instead of using this line, Shulk gasps.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_4556	Sharla	"What's happening?!"	Despite being stored between the last file for the "Audience for the Emperor" cutscene and the first file for the "Deciding to Visit Melia" cutscene, this audio file is a duplicate of ahx.pkb_4393 which is used in the High Entia Tomb "Big Ball of... Something" cutscene. Which of the two is used in game is unknown.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4620	Shulk	gasp	It seems Shulk was always supposed to slightly gasp after seeing a new vision. This one is placed right before the Mechon attack on Prison Island.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_4630	Melia, or possibly Sharla	gasp	These lines are stored among the files for "The Imperial Villa" cutscene. In the scene two different mutual gasps happen, but each time only two audio files play simultaneously, leaving the rest of the gasps unused. These were probably cut because playing too many voice lines at the same time would have ended up being too loud. As the entire group is in the scene and because the audio for these lines is just gasping, it's hard to know for certain which take belongs to which character. Also, because the dialogue that plays between the two sets of gasps is stored much earlier, all of the gasping lines are back-to-back making it difficult to know which of the unused ones were meant for which round of gasping.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4631	Sharla, or possibly Melia	gasp
ahx.pkb_4632	Shulk, or possibly either Reyn or Dunban	gasp
ahx.pkb_4635	Dunban, or possibly either Shulk or Reyn	gasp
ahx.pkb_4637	Melia, or possibly Sharla	gasp
ahx.pkb_4638	Shulk, or possibly either Reyn or Dunban	gasp
ahx.pkb_4696	Reyn	"Prison Island, at last."	The first two lines are stored before the first spoken line in the cutscene "Big Fish Coming!", while the third one comes after the last spoken line of the cutscene. Why these were cut is unknown.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_4697	Sharla	"Look! At the top!"
ahx.pkb_4700	Shulk	"He's right."
ahx.pkb_4993	Dunban	"So the Melia at the speech was a double?"	Stored just after Riki's line saying the person wearing Melia's disguise smells different than Melia in the cutscene "Two Melias." It's unclear why it was cut.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_5021	Kallian	"Leave the allied force to me."	The file that combines these 2 clips is the one that's used.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5022	Kallian	"I am not known for my diplomacy, but call it pride. I shall succeed!"		Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5112	Dunban	"Huh..."	In the files for the cutscene in Ose tower with Shulk and Alvis. Dunban stays silent at the end.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5150	Alvis	"Precisely on schedule."	At the beginning of the scene where the group spots Dickson's supply ship.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5208	Shulk	"Look at that."	These lines would've been used right before the party spots an entrance to the other side of Galahad Fortress.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5209	Shulk	"It's..."
ahx.pkb_5210	Dunban	"The Mechonis!"
ahx.pkb_5211	Melia	"It looks rather foreboding."
ahx.pkb_5240	Lorethia	"Hmm."	This line is in the middle of the scene where Lorethia and Alvis are discussing ether spears. There is no reverb effect.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5291	Sharla	"Mechon! So many of them."	Is supposed to play in the faced Mechon storage area, before the Fiora encounter.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5292	Shulk	"Wait."
ahx.pkb_5293	Shulk	"They're... not operational."
ahx.pkb_5296	Shulk	gasp	Supposed to be used for his gasp when the alarm goes off in the "Lots of Face Mechon!" cutscene, but for some reason the audio file ahx.pkb_6499 (which plays during and is stored among the lines for a late-game Prison Island cutscene) is used there instead.	Audio file: Laenthor Description: Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_5298	Shulk	"Fiora. We've come for you... Let's go home."	These lines are stored at the end of the audio files for the "Lots of Face Mechon!" cutscene. These were probably cut for pacing.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_5299	Shulk	"Fiora!"
ahx.pkb_5300	Reyn	"Oi! She don't look right!"
ahx.pkb_5301	Shulk	"Aaah!"	It seems a planned event for the scene after the first encounter with Fiora was cut, probably because they couldn't actually animate it in this cutscene where the characters use their gameplay animations. Fiora would've attacked Shulk, and the others would've tried to help him out, then Dunban tells everyone to retreat. In the final version, Fiora doesn't move and the group leaves.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5305	Melia	"Reyn! Dunban! We have to help!"
ahx.pkb_5306	Dunban	"Rha! This isn't fair! Get in there! Help him!"
ahx.pkb_5325	Dickson	"Hmph!"	Another grunt that goes unused.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5328	Sharla	"Is it just me, or did we suddenly become Nopon mercenaries?"	Despite being stored among the Fallen Arm cutscene lines, this audio file is an identical copy of ahx.pkb_3848, which is used in the "Equipment for the Heropon" cutscene. It's unknown why this was done nor which of the two is the one used in game.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_5379	Fiora	"Shulk, are you okay?"	Was supposed to be used right before Shulk alone gets ambushed by Mechon drones.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5380	Shulk	"Let's worry about you first. I'm fine."
ahx.pkb_5382	Fiora	"Shulk"
ahx.pkb_5440	Shulk	"AAahh..."	First line that could have played when Reyn and Sharla find Shulk.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5498	Riki	"There a lake over there. Lake have fishies!"	In the cutscene audio for the dialogue between Dunban and Riki on the Fallen Arm.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5589	Reyn	"It's pretty dark in here. AAARG!"	Missing event in the cutscene where you meet Miqol for the first time. His first line would've made a bit more sense that way.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_5590	Reyn	"Man that hurts! What idiot would just leave a cable laying around like that?"
ahx.pkb_5592	Miqol	"Sorry about that my Bionis guests. I forgot! You can't see in the dark!"
ahx.pkb_5596	Reyn	"You turned off the lights to get me? That ain't funny!"
ahx.pkb_5833	Shulk	gasp	Stored just before Shulk calls out Fiora's name in the cutscene "The Right Path." It's unclear why it was cut.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_5984	Shulk	"Has it been fossilized?"	Unused, but could've fit in the conversation in the Mechonis capital.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_6036	Reyn	"Aaargh!"	Near the start of the cutscene after the first encounter with Gadolt.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_6037	Shulk	"Reyn, get it together."		Laenthor
ahx.pkb_6121	Fiora	"There is still time."	During the cutscene "Foreshadowing of Betrayal," Meyneth speaks the same dialogue in these lines. It appears Fiora was originally meant to speak alongside Meyneth in this scene, but in the final game only Meyneth's lines can be heard.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_6125		"Mechonis and I exist as one."
ahx.pkb_6126		"Egil is using ether energy absorbed from the Bionis to force it to move."
ahx.pkb_6127		"There is still time before the Mechonis fully adapts to the ether."
ahx.pkb_6144	Shulk	gasp	When Shulk notices Fiora's Monado (the triangle chestpiece) glowing, he doesn't say anything in the final game.	Laenthor
ahx.pkb_6145	Shulk	"Fiora"		Laenthor
ahx.pkb_6152	Fiora	"The Mechonis! ...It's moving!"	Stored just after Reyn's line pointing out the Mechonis' movement in the cutscene "Foreshadowing of Betrayal." Why Fiora's line was cut is unknown.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_6230	Shulk	"This... machine. ...Is this—?"	This group of audio files is stored between the lines for the cutscenes "Shulk's Intuition" and "Even More Power." The party has not yet reached the Apocrypha Generator in the former and has just defeated it in the latter, so it appears these lines were meant to for a separate, scrapped cutscene.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_6231	Vanea	"Yes. The Apocrypha Generator."
ahx.pkb_6232	Reyn	"Yeah. Let's trash the thing!"
ahx.pkb_6233	Reyn	"Take this out and it's plain sailing for Shulk."
ahx.pkb_6234	Vanea	"It should be."
ahx.pkb_6235	Vanea	"It's a miracle that you have been able to use the Monado at all."
ahx.pkb_6236	Reyn	"Hear that?"
ahx.pkb_6237	Shulk	grunt
ahx.pkb_6238	Melia	"Are you really alright?"
ahx.pkb_6239	Shulk	"Ye-Yeah. I'm... fine."
ahx.pkb_6240	Shulk	"Vanea, we need to find Egil."
ahx.pkb_6241	Vanea	"The control core is directly above. It is not far."
ahx.pkb_6368	Dunban	"You know the drill. Take them down!"	This file is an exact copy of the audio from the file before it, ahx.pkb_6367. Why this was done is unknown, as is which of the two is the one used in game.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_6430	Fiora	sigh "It's... so peaceful."	These lines are duplicate audio files for some of the lines from the cutscene "Calm Before the Storm" and are stored after the lines for the cutscene that follows it. It's unclear why this was done, which of the copies is used in game, and why only some of the lines were duplicated.	Kadoodles
ahx.pkb_6431	Fiora	"It's hard to believe that we defeated a horde of Telethia just minutes ago."
ahx.pkb_6432	Shulk	"Zanza wants to finish us all... so he can make the vision he's had come true."
ahx.pkb_6433		"We're in the calm before the storm"
ahx.pkb_6434		"I won't let that happen."
ahx.pkb_6435		"Whatever the future holds... we can never give in. Not to Zanza... no, not even to our destiny."
ahx.pkb_6436	Fiora	"Does this world belong to us or to Zanza?"
ahx.pkb_6437		"Why would he side with Zanza?"
ahx.pkb_6438		"Power? ...Or maybe he wants to live forever."
ahx.pkb_6439	Shulk	"Who knows."
ahx.pkb_6440		"But I don't think his motives are that simple. I'm sure Alvis has some kind of plan."
ahx.pkb_6441		""Otherwise... why would he speak to me in my dreams?"
ahx.pkb_6442		"Oh, that's right. Linada's looking for you."
ahx.pkb_6443		"She wants to examine you. She's back at Junks."
ahx.pkb_6444	Fiora	"Oh."
ahx.pkb_6445		"Hey, um... Can you go ahead? I'll go and see Linada in a minute."
ahx.pkb_6446		"I need a few minutes to myself."
ahx.pkb_6447		"What can I do?"
ahx.pkb_6448		"If I go to see Linada she'll find out what's happening to my body."
ahx.pkb_6449		sigh "I need to come up with a good excuse."
ahx.pkb_6538	Melia	"Tyrea!"	Melia only calls Tyrea's name out loud like this once, and the next file is where she does.	Laenthor
