Dunban/Gameplay/Dialogue

This page lists all of what Dunban says during gameplay in Xenoblade Chronicles.
==Battle==
===Battle start===
The lines that play are based on the difference in of the enemy and the party leader. Black-tagged enemies trigger "weak foe" lines, red-tagged enemies trigger "strong foe" lines, and those in between are "equal foe".
====Leader, equal foe====
* Follow my lead!
* Don't lose focus!
* Let's go!
====Leader, strong foe====
* Unless we fight, we cannot proceed!
====Leader, weak foe====
* No mercy!
====Partner, equal foe====
* Don't hold back!
* Make it a swift victory!
====Partner, strong foe====
* If we're outmatched, we have to pull back!
* This one will take some time to bring down!
====Partner, weak foe====
* I don't have time for small fry!
====Partner, disliked enemy (at random)====
Dunban dislikes only etheral enemies.
* I'm not too partial to these!
====Partner, favoured enemy (at random)====
Dunban favours mammal and insect enemies. He also favours Mechon while he holds the Monado or an Anti-Mechon weapon.
* Leave this to me!
===Auto-attack===
* Hah!
* Hooo!
* Huah!
===Arts===
====Half talent gauge====
* Our time is coming.
====Full talent gauge====
* The time is now!
====Leader, someone uses a Monado Art (at random)====
* The power of the Monado.
====Using arts====
When the player selects an art, one of two lines can play, while if the AI selects an art, only one can play. Chain attacks and warnings allows the player to select an art for AI members, and either line can play accordingly.

* Steel yourself! The fight has only just begun!
====Entire party at half HP====
=====Leader=====
* The enemy must not dictate our pace!
* At this rate it's only a matter of time before we lose!

* Im...possible...
* uuhh...how can this be? uhh...

====Reviving others====

* Riki strikes!
* Melia! Impressive!
* Hah! In true Dickson style!
=====Leader, enemy was 6 or more levels lower (at random)=====
* Pitiful!
===Enemy HP===
====Half HP====
These lines might play at random when Dunban's attack is the one that reduced the enemy's HP.In the , the party leader says it instead of the attacker, and it plays whether it would have been random or not. In addition, they play again if the player switches target to an enemy below the HP limit.
* Good! We're moving as one!
* Looks like we're setting the pace.
=====Response to others=====
* Yeah! Time to show off our might!
* Victory is within our grasp!
====Third HP====
These lines always play when Dunban's attack is the one that reduced the enemy's HP.

* Your days are numbered!
=====Response to others=====

* Everyone, don't let your guard down.
===Enemy count===
====Enemies added====
* They grow in number!
* Was this the wrong tactical choice?
====One enemy left====
* This is the last one!

"Aid" is a catch-all term for being healed, being buffed, or having aggro taken off.

* Grab on.
====Helped from topple====
* Thank you.
* Looks like I owe you.
====Help other from daze, sleep, or confuse====
* Get up.
* Get a hold of yourself.
====Helped from daze, sleep, or confuse====
* This...this isn't like me.
* Apologies. I...can't explain this.
===Group commands===
====Leader, giving "Focus Attacks!" command====
* We must focus our efforts!
====Leader, giving "Engage at Will!" command====
* Use your judgement!
====Partner, response to others====
* Roger!
* Understood!
===Burst affinity===
The general pattern of a burst affinity sequence is: The person who caused the event says their trigger line. Someone else—the leader, if applicable—says the prompt as the button challenge happens. If failed, the triggerer's failure line plays if any. If successful, one of the other two says a first response lineIn the original Wii version, the first speaker will always be the same party member who said the prompt line, but in the it is chosen randomly between the other two party members., and the triggerer follows with their success line. If succeeded perfectly, both of the other two respond, with a first response and then a second response.
====Crit trigger====
* Felt that, huh?
* Just like that!
====Crit/dodge prompt====
* Shulk!
* Reyn!
* Fiora!
* Sharla!

====Dodge response (first)====

* Impressive!

====Dodge response (second)====

* Insolence!
====Blocked/miss prompt====
* Shulk!
* Reyn!
* Fiora!
* Sharla!
* Riki!
* Melia!
* Dickson!
====Blocked/miss response (first)====
* Forget it!
* Everyone fails occasionally!
====Blocked/miss response (second)====
* Just don't lose your focus!
====Blocked/miss success====
* Nicely done!This same audio file is also used for one of his "Aid received" lines.
====Blocked/miss failure====
* I...missed!
===Leader, missing two or more attacks in a row (at random)===
* What's going wrong?!
===Tension===
====High tension====
* I feel my power returning to me.

===Chain attacks===
====Party gauge filled (trigger)====
* The time has come. Prepare for a chain attack!

* Ahhh! Just like old times!
* We are at one with the battlefield!
===Visions===
====Giving a warning====
* Reyn, got some trouble.
* Sharla, what should we do?
* Riki, time to prove your mettle as a hero.
* Melia, let's go.
* Fiora, you can do it, right?
* You saw a vision, yes?
====Receiving a warning====
* Right. I see.
* That's the future? We'll see about that.
* I'll change the future by my own hand.
* Don't fret. I will crush any future we don't want.
* This future might be a bit bothersome.
====Vision tag breaks====
In the , these erroneously only play if a vision is broken by killing the enemy.
* There's still a way.
* We carve our own future.
* Hah!
* That won't happen.
* We seized our future.
* We choose our own path.
===Flee===
* Everyone, fall back!
===Win===
If the fight ends while anyone is incapacitated, and/or if the fight took 5 minutes or longer to complete, this is a "close win." Otherwise, it is a "clean win."In the original Wii version, whoever speaks first is chosen at random, and any incapacitated members do not contribute at all. In the , the leader always speaks first, and incapacitated members contribute as usual.
====Clean win====
* Prepare for the next fight.
* Victory is ours.
* It'll take more than that to slow us down.
* Hemph. I expected a tougher battle.
* Looks like we managed to survive.
* A pretty good battle.
* The taste of victory is sweet.
=====Response to others=====
* Not bad. Not bad at all.
* Let's press on.
* I can see this isn't pushing you at all.
* But we mustn't be careless!
====Close win====
* That was a...lucky escape.
* Tend to your wounds before we move on.
=====Response to others=====
* We should reconsider our tactics.
* Tend to your wounds and prepare for the next battle.
====Banter====
===Level up===
* I'm still getting stronger!
* Good!
* I'm still good to go!
===Unsorted===
The following may or may not be used, they simply haven't been placed in the correct section yet. Perhaps the exact criteria still needs to be hashed out, or it is unknown whether they're used.
* I'm having a lapse of concentration!
* I just cannot focus!
* Do you want to let it end like this?
* This isn't good!
* Cut the enemy down!
* Hmmmm. Not bad!
* Not likely!
==Gem crafting==
===Start===
* Consider it done.
===Before a turn===
* Like this?
* Uah!
===After a turn===
* Yeah!
* Good!
===Support===
* Let me try.
* Allow me to help.
===Fever===
* Okay, now!
* Time to show off a bit.
===End===

* Good job.
====Results with at least one Heat or Mega Heat Gem====
* Good. This is well-made.
* Looks like it went better than we thought.
====Gem rank up results screen====
