RE Prince of Persia Excuse me but I don t understand what you mean If you want to know where I got the information on the paragraph I added in the edit you supplied the player learns it gradually throughout the game The game has open dialogue meaning the player can trigger dialogue between the two protagonists the Prince and Elika at any given moment in the game There are specified moments when an icon will appear at the bottom of the screen indicating that Elika wants to talk to the Prince The dialogue provided at these given points are typically vital to understanding the story and usually provides the player with a rich background story for either the Prince Elika or the antagonist whose domain the player is in at the time the icon appears I went through the game and triggered each of these dialogues with Elika at every given moment where it was indicated that I should and the Prince revealed quite a bit of his background story The Concubine one of four primary antagonists of the game provides a lot of the Prince s background story as well She continually taunts him throughout the game telling him that he doesn t really know who he is asking if he s a prince or a pauper and at one points she even asks him why he ran from his destiny as a prince There is also the Nintendo DS counterpart to the game titled The Fallen King While The Fallen King doesn t provide many of the key aspects of the Prince s background story it does delve deeper into who he is It gives the player a good sense of where the Prince s loyalties lie and why he fights when it seems like he doesn t care The Nintendo DS counterpart is extremely useful in understanding the Prince if the player didn t during the console game I hope I ve provided insight into your questions and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask them
