散策・大地の夜明け Following a Dream
Ferdinand
Put me to good use.
Ferdinand: Well done, Professor. We have brought the war to a magnificent conclusion. The Empire, Alliance, and Kingdom are no more. Nor are there any factions that could blindside us and cause conflict. Now it falls to us to rule Fódlan, and bring about an era of peace and prosperity. You would be a fine choice for the first ruler of this new era. I sincerely believe that.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Thank you. (Relationship with Ferdinand up)
Ferdinand: So, youRheart is already set on it! Excellent! In that case, congratulations are in order.
Choice 2: I'm not sure.
Ferdinand: Well, if you are unsure, what does that say about everybody else's chances?
Ferdinand: I will follow you, Professor. I aim to be a great and respectable noble.
Linhardt
Congratulations on a job well done.
Linhardt: Congratulations on a job well done, Professor. I do hope Lady Rhea is well? Is it true what I heard? You will be taking over her post? Would that make you archbishop? Or higher still? Am I in the company of the future ruler of Fódlan?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Either would be a hassle. (Relationship with Linhardt up)
Linhardt: I agree! Imagine all that responsibility. Until now, you've always fought with all of us by your side. Bring ruler would be a much lonelier job, though I am certain you would excel.
Choice 2: The latter. I will rule over Fódlan.
Linhardt: So you've already decided... Such proactive thinking is the hallmark of a good ruler.
Linhardt: Me? I have no interest in a leadership role. I'm happy to spend the rest of my days studying...and napping.
Caspar
Looking forward to it!
Caspar: All... RIGHT! We did it, Professor! We really gave it to 'em out there! With all the fighting and hardships, I don't know how we did it... But I'm glad we made it through together!
Byleth:
Choice 1: Me too. (Relationship with Caspar up)
Caspar: Now all we gotta do is make you the new ruler! That's gonna be a fun coronation!
Choice 2: It was a lot to push through.
Caspar: Sorry if I made your life more difficult! None of that matters anymore though, right? Now all we gotta do is make you the new ruler! That's gonna be a fun coronation!
Bernadetta
Bernadetta: Phew... It's all over, Professor. Though I am worried about Lady Rhea... But still, Fódlan is united, and those terrible people lurking in the dark have finally been destroyed. Looks like it's the dawn of a wonderful new era...of blissful seclusion for Bernie!
Byleth:
Choice 1: That won't do.
Bernadetta: Wh-what? Why not?! Hey, that better not be your first official decree! You're going to ask for my help again, aren't you? Oh, why?
Choice 2: Suit yourself. (Relationship with Bernadetta up)
Bernadetta: Woo-hoo! You finally did it, Bernie! Now take your reward of eternal peace and quiet!
Dorothea
Let's avoid any more losses...
Dorothea: Finally! An end to the fighting. Have you ever felt happier? I've worried that I might not live to see this day, but here we are, and everything is going to be OK, isn't it? Huh, my heart feels like it's ready to burst. I'm so full of happiness, yet I feel a sense of loss too...
Byleth:
Choice 1: We did lose a lot.
Dorothea: Yes, we certainly did. But we managed to keep a great many things safe, as well.
Choice 2: We protected more than we lost. (Relationship with Dorothea up)
Dorothea: I agree. I suppose if I think of those who are gone as the people who ensured our freedom...it hurts less.
Dorothea: Please do what you can to keep the peace, so we never have to face such awful times again.
Petra
War has been ended.
Petra: War has been ended. I will now be returning to Brigid. I hope in the new Fódlan, Brigid can be accepted with friendship. When my professor becomes the leader, I think that will have a possibility. Please, choose well.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Same to you. (Relationship with Petra up)
Petra: Yes. Now I must be packing.
Choice 2: I'm not sure yet...
Petra: Is that the truth? I will be waiting for your decision. I will be packing while you are thinking.
Felix
So.
Felix: It's over. What will you do? I heard you intend to lead.
Byleth:
Choice 1: I'm not sure.
Felix: You shouldn't need that long to decide. Make up your mind.
Choice 2: I'm more interested in what you'll do. (Relationship with Felix up)
Felix: Well, if you do choose to lead, I might like to work for you. But first, I'll go back to the old Faerghus territory. Where my father and my old friends once lived. I need to pay respects, put flowers on their graves.
Ashe
I'd support you every step of the way.
Ashe: Well, it took a long while for us to get here, but we did it. The war is finally over. We've been through a lot together, haven't we? Let me just say, it's truly been an honor.
Byleth:
Choice 1: The same to you.
Ashe: I'm flattered to hear you say do.
Choice 2: Oh, cut it out.
Ashe: Hey, come on, I mean it! There's nothing to be embarrassed about!
Ashe: For whatever it's worth, I think you'd make a great monarch, and I'd support you every step of the way.
Sylvain
Peacetime is the best time for love...
Sylvain: Ah, yow! She didn't have to slap me that hard. Oh, Professor, it's you. What's up? Need something?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Lover's quarrel again?
Sylvain: I dunno if I'd call us lovers, exactly. Not yet anyway. It's was just a dinner invite.
Choice 2: Don't "need" anything, but... (Relationship with Sylvain up)
Sylvain: Heh, you worried I might cause trouble again? Nah, I just invited a girl out to dinner.
Sylvain: All fighting and no loving makes Sylvain a rusty boy. Well, I can get back in practice now. Peacetime is the best for love―nobody dying, nobody getting hurt...except me, apparently. If you're gonna be the ruler, you need to keep the peace going so I can catch up on my love life.
Mercedes
I heard rumor of...
Mercedes: I heard a rumor that you're going to take over for Lady Rhea!
Byleth:
Choice 1: It hasn't been decided.
Mercedes: Oh, so the rumor was really true? I hope you accept. I don't think there's anyone else who could do it.
Choice 2: That's the plan. (Relationship with Mercedes up)
Mercedes: So it's already been decided? That's very admirable of you, Professor.
Mercedes: You have nothing to worry about. We're here to help you if you need anything at all! We'll support you no matter what path you choose to follow!
Annette
How strange...
Annette: Is Lady Rhea OK? She was quite weakened to start, and then she took all those heavy injuries... I don't want to imagine it, but what will happen if Lady Rhea passes away like this?
Byleth:
Choice 1: We'll cross that bridge if we come to it.
Annette: I suppose you're right.
Choice 2: I'm sure she'll be fine. (Relationship with Annette up)
Annette: Yes. I'm praying every day that she'll get well as soon as possible.
Annette: Anyhow... You're going to be the ruler, Professor? It's so strange to think of, for some reason!
Ingrid
I can't quite believe it's real...
Ingrid: Can it really be? Are we truly at peace? To think that my days will not be spent debating war tactics and preparing for battles. It doesn't quite feel real. Now that we are finally at peace, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Just take it easy.
Ingrid: That sounds...challenging for how easy it must actually be.
Choice 2: Maybe you should think about the future now. (Relationship with Ingrid up)
Ingrid: Thinking of the future has never been my forte.
Ingrid: As long as I have a routine in place for myself, I can find contentment.
Lorenz
Think carefully on this decision!
Lorenz: The day is ours, Professor. And this victory will ensure our names are immortalized in history. Or perhaps this is but the opening chapter in the tale they will write of our glory. After all, if you are to rule this reunited land, surely there is bound to be a place for me at your side?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Absolutely. (Relationship with Lorenz up)
Lorenz: I read your mind, didn't I? Fear not! I will not fail to rise to the occasion!
Choice 2: Nothing's decided yet.
Lorenz: Is that so? It seems to me that everyone has already assumed you would take the position.
Lorenz: Regardless, your decision will have an impact on my future, so be sure to make it a good one!
Raphael
There's no harm in it!
Raphael: Hey, Professor! I was just thinking I might go train. I know the war's over, but that doesn't mean I can stop working my muscles!
Byleth:
Choice 1: That makes sense. (Relationship with Raphael up)
Raphael: I'm glad you see it my way! I always knew you were a smart one!
Choice 2: You should work on other things too.
Raphael: Really? I wouldn't know where to start, but...
Raphael: There's no harm in keeping up with my training!
Ignatz
There's still a lot I don't understand.
Ignatz: After all that's happened to Lady Rhea, all of the stuff with Solon and the others, and everything that's happened with you, Professor... There's still a lot I don't understand. Please teach me, Professor―everything you know, everything you've learned.
Byleth:
Choice 1: OK. (Relationship with Ignatz up)
Ignatz: Thank you, oh thank you!
Choice 2: If I get the chance...
Ignatz: If it's at all possible, I hope you'll speak about it not just to me, but to everyone else as well. I think everyone should know what happened here. If we're going to build a new, united Fódlan...that's absolutely crucial.
Lysithea
If I can still be of use...
Lysithea: Those who slither in the dark will never harm anyone again. They're finally done for. Thank you, Professor. Finally, I feel some vindication for what I've gone through.
Byleth:
Choice 1: No, thank you, Lysithea. (Relationship with Lysithea up)
Lysithea: Ah, Professor. Ever the modest one. I do like that aspect of you.
Choice 2: Keep up the good work.
Lysithea: Uh, sure thing.
Lysithea: As long as I'm of use here, I'm happy to stick around, Professor.
Marianne
If there's anything more I can do...
Marianne: And with that, we can finally enjoy a time of peace. I'm honored to have fought by your side. Even if you haven't made plans yet, I know you'll do your best, whatever your future may hold.
Byleth:
Choice 1: You've grown much stronger.
Marianne: If true, that's all thanks to you and our allies.
Choice 2: You've become quite the optimist. (Relationship with Marianne up)
Marianne: I never would've dreamed my heart could have grown this way.
Marianne: Please let me know if there's anything more I can do.
Hilda
I feel indestructible.
Hilda: Hey, Professor! The war is finally, really, definitely over now, right? We're not gonna find out there was some evil shadowy figure hiding behind the subterranean guys, are we?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Who knows.
Hilda: Well, whatever. No matter what comes, I know we can triumph in the end!
Choice 2: I don't think so. (Relationship with Hilda up)
Hilda: Ah, that's good! Though to be honest, there's not much that would surprise me at this point...
Hilda: I feel invincible! A nice perk of being your student, don't you think?
Leonie (If Alois was not recruited or is dead)
'
Leonie: Well, we both made it. And we avenged Jeralt too. Can't say it gets any better than that. You've got a lot of work ahead of you, I hear. People want you to govern, don't they?
Byleth:
Choice 1: It's a hassle.
Leonie: Yeah. Sadly, this isn't the kind of burden I can take off your hands.
Choice 2: It's a dilemma.
Leonie: Well, at the end of the day, it's your decision. Just take your time. Think it through.
Leonie: You've got to consider it carefully, so you don't have any regrets. Whatever you choose, though, just know that I'm here for you.
Leonie and Alois
Alois: We did it, Captain!
Leonie: Make sure you've got no regrets.
Alois: At last, the day is upon us. The captain would be pleased. Don't you think, Leonie?
Leonie: Definitely. And he'd be proud of the professor too.
Alois: It seems like our efforts have been rewarded. It was certainly a long, difficult struggle to get here.
Leonie: It was. Oh, Jeralt... We worked so hard for this.
Byleth: Uh, hello?
Alois: Whaaaaaah!
Leonie: Aaah! How long have you been standing there?!
Alois: Er, ahem. Whether or not you choose to succeed Lady Rhea, we will forever be by your side.
Leonie: Yeah. We'll be here no matter what you decide. But make sure you think it through. You don't want to have any regrets.
Seteth
Have you spoken to everyone yet?
Seteth: Well? Is your mind made up?
Byleth:
Choice 1: No.
Seteth: I understand. Just know that we are applying all our power right now toward healing Rhea. You should take this opportunity to speak with everyone. I am certain it will do you good.
Choice 2: Yes
(note: If you select yes, the month will end and the game will proceed to the final battle)
Flayn
We are all of the same mind.
Flayn: I have faith in Lady Rhea's convalescence, but even so, what she needs now is rest. And while she is recovering, somebody must watch over Fódlan. There is no one more fit to wear such a mantle than you, Professor. That is what I believe. I do not doubt the others feel the same.
Hanneman
Shambhala... Fascinating...
Hanneman: Shambhala... An underground city with an entirely different lineage than the goddess? Strange phenomena, driven by a source totally alien to the Crests that we understand. Most unsettling! Could it be magic? Some manner of technology? I would like to know the truth of it all. Very much so. I want to know their history, their knowledge. Why do you suppose they chose this place to occupy?
Byleth: Well, I don't know.
Hanneman: No, I suppose you wouldn't... It seems we will have to excavate Shambhala to know more. Although, I heard you will be the Ruler here? Should I ask your permission to proceed with the dig?
Manuela
The way things are going...
Manuela: Life can be tough, you know? But if you've got your friends to help you through, it can be a lot easier. Maybe you butt heads sometimes...but that's OK. That's how you build bonds, right? And I've got friends, Professor. Plenty of those. It's true love that seems to have passed me by.
Byleth:
Choice 1: You should relax.
Manuela: Relax? I'm relaxed.
Choice 2: There's still hope. (Relationship with Manuela up)
Manuela: But where is my true love to be found? Where is my ray of hope?
Choice 3: Time to give up?
Manuela: Yeah… I'm starting to figure that's the most realistic option.
If Byleth is male:
Manuela: At this point, you're the only man who pays attention to me. I guess I'll have to take what I can get.
If Byleth is female:
Manuela: At this point, I'm just hoping you stay single too. Then at least we can share each other's misery!
Alois (If Leonie is dead or has not been recruited)
'
Alois: Jeralt... We've done it. We've finally brought this creaky old ship ashore. The fight was long and bitter, but finally...I can lay down my burden.
Byleth: Uh, hello?
Alois: Whaaaaah! It's you! Don't creep up like a ghost. Next time, announce yourself. Er, ahem. Whether or not you choose to succeed Lady Rhea, I will forever be by your side. You should live your life however you want. That's what the captain would say, I think.
Catherine
Isn't that enough?
Catherine: Lady Rhea stopped the forces that threatened to destroy Fódlan. She's trying to realize her own dream of peace. Isn't that enough? Can't you let her rest? If you're the only person who's fit to replace her, you should just do it. I'm sure Lady Rhea wishes for that too, right? I can't think of anyone who's more well suited to the job.
Shamir
So it's over already...
Shamir:The war's finally over... I have to admit, even I got a little emotional. Rhea's condition doesn't look good. There's nothing to do now but wait. More importantly, are you serious about becoming Fódlan's new ruler?
Byleth:
Choice 1: I'm not sure. (Relationship with Shamir up)
Shamir: It's pretty sudden. Either way, do what you think is best.
Choice 2: I am.
Shamir: You made up your mind pretty quickly. Either way, do what you think is best.
Cyril
Lady Rhea's gonna be all right, isn't she?
Cyril: Professor, do you figure Lady Rhea will be OK? She will, won't she? I don't care one bit who'll succeed Lady Rhea, 'cause nobody's gonna need to. She's gonna be happy and healthy again. You'll see.
Anna
Let's rake in the dough!
Anna: I can tell that things will settle down soon enough. Gotta get back to slinging wares and making moolah! And hopefully no more messes to spoil it after this...
Hapi
Is it true?
Hapi:I heard you might become the next leader of Fódlan. Personally, I'm into the idea. If you have the chance, you'll take it, right?
Byleth:
Choice 1: I'm not sure.
Choice 2: You think I should? (Relationship with Hapi up)
Hapi: I'd say go for it. I wanna see how you'd clean up this messy old continent of ours. That might be something I can get excited about.
Gatekeeper
Nothing to report!
Gatekeeper: Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report! Say, how is the archbishop faring? The soldiers and citizens are all concerned! Just when we thought peace had finally arrived... What's to become of Fódlan?
Male Knight of Seiros in the Common Room
We must rebuild and reunite.
Knight of Seiros: All the lords of the old Kingdom seem to be pouring their efforts into rebuilding their own domains... But without a royal family in place, they can't seem to reach any sort of agreement, and so the work can't progress. A lot of territory in the old Empire doesn't even have any lords right now, so there are concerns about peace and prosperity breaking down in large areas... It is the duty of the victor to restore order. We must rebuild and reunite as soon as we can!
Monk at the Cathedral
Lady Rhea will lead once more.
Monk: Once Lady Rhea is fully recovered, she will resume her role as the archbishop of the church. In which case, I do believe you would be the obvious choice for the ruler of the new royal bloodline...
Male Churchgoer at the Entrance Hall
It's over, right?
Churchgoer: Just when I thought bringing the Empire down would end the war, you had to fight where? Against whom? The noble Knights of Seiros won't tell us commoners any meaningful details. But at least that's the end of the fighting, right? Thanks for riding it out all this time!
Male Soldier at the Stables
Finally, vengeance is ours.
Soldier: This last series of battles was swift, but vicious. Myrddin, Gronder, Merceus... Many of our allies lost their lives in those battles. But now, we've finally avenged our fallen friends.
Female Soldier near the Knights Hall
Seteth in charge?
Soldier: I don't think anybody would bat an eye if it was Seteth who ascended the throne. But really, I think we can all agree that the role of tough-but-fair second-in-command suits him best.
Female Priest in the Entrance Hall
We all have to do our part.
Priest: The most important thing we can do now is to pour all of our efforts into rebuilding the church and the monastery. We've relied on Lady Rhea and Seteth up till now, but after all this, we'll need to do our part too. The church may even need to go through some changes to catch up with the times.
Female Churchgoer at the Cemetary
Oh, Goddess...
Churchgoer: Lady Rhea was injured?! How could such a thing happen? Wasn't she supposed to be resting? I can't believe she'd put herself in danger by going into battle in that state... Oh, Goddess... Please save Lady Rhea...
Female Soldier at the Stables
Hahaha...
Soldier: I've gotta write a letter to my family. They're waiting in my old hometown. I've gotta tell them I'll be coming home soon! I mean, what else could possibly happen?
Female Knight of Seiros in the Reception Hall
Please, hear me out.
Knight of Seiros: Everyone in the Knights of Seiros is eagerly awaiting your ascension to the throne, Professor. With the ability and virtue you've shown, you've demonstrated all the qualities the leader of a united Fódlan needs. If you're still wavering, we hope you will make your mind up soon.
Monk in the Cathedral
Is it really true?
Monk: I've heard that you'll take over as the ruler of this new land. Is that true? And here I thought you'd take over for Lady Rhea as archbishop... We'll be lonely here in the monastery if you leave. Oh, hey, why don't we make Garreg Mach the new capital?
Explore: Abyss
Yuri
At some point, I...
Yuri: The war's over...for now. We need to think ahead to our next steps. And here you are, the new chosen leader of the land. Though, judging by your expression, you don't seem too enthused.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Do you think I'm suited to it? (Relationship with Yuri up)
Yuri: It's hard to say how a region under your rule may turn out. But it'll be interesting to watch it unfold.
Choice 2: Please take my place, Yuri.
Yuri: Heh heh! Very funny. You know elevating the lord of the underground to such rulership wouldn't exactly be well received.
Yuri: If you end up on the throne, do me a favor and take care of the people of Abyss. I'd like to spread my wings and fly away someday.
Balthus
Time to relax!
Balthus: War is over, pal. It's time to relax! Grab some drinks and let loose! Nothing makes a drink taste better than sharing it with a buddy who's fought at your side. Throw in some war stories, and you've got yourself a party.
Byleth:
Choice 1: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
Balthus: That's it? Come on, lighten up and join in! Plenty of good times to go around.
Choice 2: All in moderation... (Relationship with Balthus up)
Balthus: Worried about me, are ya? Heh, should've known this would happen. I'm lovable to a fault.
If Byleth is male:
Balthus: If you're not gonna have a drink with me, the least you can do is help me find a lucky lady to keep me company in your stead...
If Byleth is female:
Balthus: I was planning to ask some lovely lady to join me, but... Well, let's be honest. Who's more deserving of me than you?
Constance
Ahaha!
Constance: Ahaha! Thanks to my tireless efforts, the war is at an end. But the work of achieving my dream has only begun! House Nuvelle's name shall ring out once more!
Byleth:
Choice 1: I can't wait to see it happen. (Relationship with Constance up)
Constance: With my genius for spellcraft, you shan't be waiting long.
Choice 2: What's your plan?
Constance: I'll leverage my genius for spellcraft to restore House Nuvelle's prestige, of course.
Constance: I'm already deep into several promising avenues of research. Hm-hm-hm!
Abysskeeper
Thanks for everything.
Abysskeeper: Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report. War is over! And it's all thanks to you. That's no small feat, and I bet it took a lot of hard work. On behalf of the world, thank you! On a personal note...I'm, uh, chewing on an idea. Marriage. I'm thinking of getting hitched! If I do... I may have to move up top. The idea of leaving my post is terrifying, to be honest. Not sure what a life up top would even look like. But for her, I'll figure it out. She's worth it.
Magic Wielder
It seems the stars were wrong.
Magic Wielder: So you've managed to make it all the way to the end. For once, it seems the stars were wrong. My reading of the stars predicted that, during the war, you would fall to your death. But that was five years ago. Perhaps the prediction was true for you then somehow.
