## Not Currently Visible Opening Quotes

These Opening Quotes are not currently visible, nor can they be triggered in any normal way, in the current version of Sky. Some of them have appeared in Sky: Light Awaits, or in some beta or non-Live versions. They may be re-introduced or completely removed in the future.

## Location of the Opening Quotes

* **Isle of Dawn:** The Isle of Dawn opening quote is displayed after passing the first ledge in the Sand Dunes area, after passing the first Map Shrine and Child of Light.
* **Daylight Prairie**: The Prairie opening quote is displayed **only once**, before the flight into the Villages.
* **Hidden Forest**: The Forest opening quote is displayed in the Forest Clearing, when opening the second gate.
* **Valley of Triumph**: The opening quote is displayed after the cutscenes of the opening of the gates just before the start of the Sliding Race or the Flying Race.
* **Golden Wasteland**: The opening quote is displayed during the black cutscenes before you land lying flat in the Broken Temple area.
* **Vault of Knowledge**: The opening quote is displayed after you leave the Social Space and enter the First Floor of the Vault.
* **Eye of Eden:** The first opening quote ("Push into the darkness") is displayed after passing through the first section (Wind and Rocks), when the gate to the second section (Dark Dragons) opens.
* **Eye of Eden** (Second Part/After Storm Lock): The second opening quote ("Return the light of the fallen") is displayed immediately after the cutscenes of entry into the Statues section.

## Trivia

* The Opening Quote for Daylight Prairie is displayed only once for each Sky account, meaning that to view this Opening Quote again, you will need to create a new Sky account and play from the beginning.
* The Valley of Triumph opening quote appears relatively late in the Realm, allowing players to explore the Sliding Track (after the Social Space), the Ice Rink, and the Citadel, before seeing the Opening Quote.
* Players can take damage (and potentially lose Winged Lights) before seeing the opening quotes in Hidden Forest (from the rain) and Eye of Eden (from the flying rocks).
* Localizations:
	+ Eye of Eden has different names/titles between the first and second opening in Japanese The first title is "暴風域" which literally means "Storm Zone", and the second title (after passing the Point of No Return) is "原罪", which means "Original Sin".
		- Similar differences also happen in Mainland China, on the Simplified Chinese version of Sky operated by NetEase. The first title is the same as the international version ("暴风眼", Eye of the Storm), but the second title is "伊甸之眼", which is a literal translation from the English "Eye of Eden".
	+ In four localisations, the translations of "Eye of Eden" do not include a direct or phonetic transliteration of the word "Eden".
		- The Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions have "暴风眼/暴風眼", which means "Eye of the Storm".
		- The Japanese version, as mentioned above, have "Storm Zone" and "Original Sin", with the latter mentioned another Biblical term.
		- The Vietnamese version has "Mắt Địa Đàng", which means "Eye of the Heaven".
	+ The Chinese and Japanese versions of Wasteland's opening quote does not mention the Vault of Knowledge, as did the original English version.
* Even though the Opening Quotes for the Home and Aviary are no longer displayed, they are still included in the `Localizable.strings` file in the macOS version package and translated in to the newly added languages (Vietnamese and Indonesian).
* Some sub-areas within a Realm does not have an Opening Quote, such as the Sand Dune Cave in Isle of Dawn, the Cave in Prairie, the Underground Cavern in Forest, the Archives and Office in Vault of Knowledge, and the Orbit after Eye of Eden.
* Some localization of the Opening Quote of Hermit Valley is a completely different sentence than the English version ("A perilous place for the audacious artists"). This may be a leftover from previous versions of this opening.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Not a direct translation of the English version but a completely different version roughly means "A perilous place for the audacious artists"
2. ↑ In Spanish, the words “de” and “el” should be written as a contraction “del”. The “de el” here may be a typo or mistake by TGC. Since this page's purpose is to display the Opening Quotes EXACTLY as in the game, any errors or typos should NOT be fixed here unless TGC fixes it in the Live version of the game itself.

En español, las palabras "de" y "el" deben escribirse como contracción "del". El "de el" aquí puede ser una errata o un error de TGC. Dado que el propósito de esta página es mostrar las Citas de Apertura EXACTAMENTE como en el juego, cualquier error o errata NO debe arreglarse aquí a menos que TGC lo arregle en la propia versión Live del juego.
3. ↑ There is a typo in this Quote. The phrase “至親好友” (“loved ones”) were in Traditional Chinese instead of Simplified Chinese. The correct Simplified Chinese phrase should be “至亲好友”, and TGC staff forgot to convert it. This error is preserved here in this page until TGC corrects it in the Live version of the game.

此处存在一个错别字。「至親好友」中的「親」字误用了繁体字，应为简体字「至亲好友」。TGC员工忘记了将其转换为简体中文。此错误在此予以保留，直至TGC在正式版游戏中将其更正。
There is no external references. The only trusted reference for all Opening Quotes is the in-game display in the Live version of the game.
