Stardew Valley: Voices of the Valley (Voice-Over Mod)

"I just saw a songbird flying due west. In Stardew Valley that's a very good omen."

“Hi... Oh, did you want something?”

"But it's best not to dwell on bad things right? Maybe you're right. It's better to cope with reality.”

"Oh... you're that new farmer boy, aren't you? Hmm... If it weren't for those horrendous clothes, you might actually be cute."

"I used to complain about this town being so small, but I've grown to like it. If it was much bigger, it wouldn't feel like a community."

"Do you have baby bunnies on your farm? Bunnies are SO cute!”

“Oh that's right... I heard someone new was moving onto that old farm. It's kind of a shame, really. I always enjoyed exploring those overgrown fields by myself.”

“...*sigh*... I know my parents mean well, but sometimes they just cannot understand my point of view. Weren't they ever young?”

 “...Oh! Hi. Want to hang out for a while? Here! Let me read your palm. *giggle* ”

 "I'm Maru. I've been looking forward to meeting you! You know, with a small town like this, a new face can really alter the community dynamic. It's exciting!"

"Sebastian hardly ever talks to me. It's sad - I want to have a brother but he doesn't act like one."  

"Some day, I'm going to be a world-class inventor. You're lucky to be friends with me! ...Just kidding."

“Ooh!... I can read it on your face. You're going to love it here in Pelican Town. If you're ever looking for something to do in the evening, stop by the saloon. That's where I work!”

“Ah, spring. The season of pastels. I actually prefer jewel tones, myself. Oh, excuse me! I was mumbling about fashion again, wasn't I?”

 “There's good people in this town who just can't seem to find happiness. It makes me sad. Working in the saloon, I hear first-hand about everyone's problems.”

“Hello, it's nice to meet you. You picked a good time to move here... The spring is lovely.”

“I found some wild mushrooms over the weekend! I had a huge plate of wild mushrooms and eggs for breakfast today... I'm still full. Keep your nose to the ground and you'll find some mushrooms yourself... I'm sure of it."

“I hate to be blunt, but if we don't treat nature with respect, our grandchildren will be doomed. Don't you think so?”

“Oh, hey. So you're the new guy, huh? Cool. I'm Alex. I'll see you around.”

“Hey, it's farm girl. Did you get new pants? You're doing something right. Oh, I almost forgot! It's my day for doing push-ups! Every time I do push-ups I try to do one more than last time. Pretty cool strategy, huh?”

“You know, I used to want fame and fortune, but lately I've been starting to sing a different tune. In the end it's the humble little things that satisfy, don't you think? I still want to go pro, but it's not the most important thing in the world.”

“I'm trying to come up with a new song for my band, but I'm blanking... Hey.. What do you think my new song should be about?”

“The clouds look great this time of year, don't they? Like scoops of vanilla ice cream floating on blue raspberry sauce... Or maybe I'm just hungry.”

"My Dad is a soldier, fighting against the Gotoro Empire. That's why he's not here.

...He'll come back someday."

“Oh. You just moved in, right? Cool. Out of all the places you could live, you chose Pelican Town?”

“I usually stay inside, but I do go to the beach now and then. Pretty much only when it's raining, though. For some reason, staring off into the bleak horizon makes me feel... I dunno. Like it's worthwhile to keep pushing on, I guess.”

"Why am I grinning? I guess I've been unusually happy lately..."

“I'm surprised that you're still trying to make friends with me. Haven't I been rude enough to you yet? *sigh*...”

“What do you want from me? Money? I'd give you a pot of gold to leave me alone!”

“I guess I've grown attached to Marnie and Jas. We're a ragtag bunch but it kind of feels like a weird family. I never really had much of a family as a kid.”

“It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Harvey, the local doctor. I perform regular check-ups and medical procedures for all the residents of Pelican Town. It's rewarding work. I hope you'll find your own work equally rewarding, in time.”

“Don't overwork yourself. Doctor's orders! Your health is important to me.”

“*Sigh*... I'm starting to feel kind of old... The older you get the more memories you're burdened with. It can be overwhelming. I think I'll stay younger with you around.”

“Ah, the new farmer we've all been expecting... and whose arrival has sparked many a conversation! I'm Elliott... I live in the little cabin by the beach. It's a pleasure to meet you.”

“The sweet friction of pen and paper is the music of my soul. That's why I chose this beach as my home, so that I could have peace and quiet to do my work.”

“Sorry, I'm feeling morose today. I wish there was more certainty about the future. I don't want to grow old as a lonely hermit on this beach...”

“Hello! You must be the new farmer. I'm Caroline. My husband runs the general store here. And have you met my daughter, Abigail? She's the pale one with the purple hair.”

“Dinner's been a lot quieter since Abigail moved out... No, not because she used to chew with her mouth open!”

“When we first moved here, I took a while to settle down... I wasn't ready for the domestic life. Pierre's a bit traditional... but he's a good man. He's ambitious, but he always puts his family first.”

“Er... hi. I'm Clint. I'm the town blacksmith. If you ever need to upgrade your tools, I'm your guy.”

“Yep. I'm a blacksmith. My father was also a blacksmith. My grandfather was a blacksmith as well. I bet you can't guess what my great-grandfather was..."

“...I found you unconscious in the mines. I think I blew my back out, dragging you all the way up here. Be a little more careful next time, okay?”

“Greetings! I'm Demetrius, local scientist and father. Thanks for introducing yourself! I'm studying the local plants and animals from my home laboratory. Have you met my daughter Maru? She's interested to meet you.”

“Robin has a hot temper. It's better to stay on her good side. ...now if I could only quantify her mood levels, perhaps I could model the fluctuations using a sinusoidal curve...”

“Let's see... perhaps the nitrogen fixation level is affected by nematode secretions... Oh! Sorry. I was pondering some data and I didn't notice you there. Do you need anything?”

“Ah, the new farmer! Welcome! I’m Lewis - Mayor of Pelican Town. You know, everyone’s been asking about you. It’s not every day that someone new moves in. It’s quite a big deal!”

“The saloon can get pretty lively at night. Sometimes we even put a coin in the jukebox *chuckle* I like to visit once a week or so to catch up on things, anyway.”

“So, the old Community Center is gone... I guess times change, and good things come and go... Yet I can't help but feel a sense of loss. I just hope this doesn't mar my record as Mayor.”

“Well hello there! I'm Gus, chef and owner of the Stardrop Saloon. Stop in if you need any refreshments. I've always got hot coffee and cold beer at the ready.”

“I saw Pam earlier today... she was grinning from ear to ear! She said someone bought her a new house! Whoever it was, they truly deserve the best!”

“I don't actually drink very much myself. I'm mainly doing this to make a living. Although I do enjoy a taste of the Stardew Valley vintage from time to time.”

“Hey, it's the new farmer! I'm Pierre, owner of the local general store. If you're looking for seeds, my shop is the place to go. I'll also buy produce from you for a good price! A little agriculture could really inject new life into the local economy!”

"You know, I used to be a pretty good boxer back in the day... my right hook was the stuff of legend!"

"*sigh*... I've got those behind-the-counter blues... I wish I could go for a walk, but I can't leave the store unattended. I've heard the flowers are in bloom and the air smells great..."

"Ahoy there! It's nice to see young folk movin' in to the valley. It's not very common these days."

"*mumble* *mumble* ...Eh? I would tell you about my thoughts, but it's a fisherman's secret."

"The ol' Man was a fisherman, you know. I grew up sailing between the fern islands, living from catch to catch. The fishing life is tough, but there's something about it that keeps you goin'."

"Um, hello there. My name's Kent. I just got back last night... from overseas. My wife told me that a new farmer had moved in while I was gone. Well, I just wanted to introduce myself... I'll see you around.”

"I don't know if I'll ever get used to being back home. The peacefulness of the town feels like a mask. That's probably just me though."

"...I lost a lot of friends in battle. What's sad is that I can't even remember their faces."

"A stranger?... Hello. Don't mind me. I just live out here alone."

“Whenever you catch a fish, take a moment to thank it for its sacrifice. Even if you don't believe in the spirit of the fish, it's a good mental exercise. We need to be aware of our effect on the environment”

"I have my own reasons for living alone like this. Some things are best left unsaid... I should do some foraging."

“Oh, a stranger! My name's Vincent. Momma says not to talk to strangers... But you seem okay.”

“I wanna look for bugs, but Mom gets mad when I'm all dirty. It's a tough choice.”

"Dad seems weird since he came back. I wonder what happened to him? He doesn't play with me anymore.”

“What? *giggle* ...hi.”

"Sometimes I look for crawdads in the river. Don't tell Aunt Marnie... but I fed one to a cow once. She loved it."

"Did you know Shane's my godfather? He was a friend of my parents. ...they died. *sniff*"

"Ah, yes. I have predicted your arrival a long time ago, young one… However, your fate is ultimately in your own hands.”

“If you have nothing important to tell me, leave me be. I have much work to do.”

"It takes years of study to understand the language of the elementals. To actually speak their language requires a lifetime of devoted effort. Now, if you’ll excuse me…”

"Welcome to JojaMart! How are you doing today? I don't believe we've met. I'm Morris, Joja Customer Satisfaction Representative."

"Membership is now available! With a Joja Membership, you'll be able to make improvements in the community with the help of our dedicated personnel... for a fee, of course."

"Excellent! Welcome to Joja Corporation! Come back tomorrow and we can see about getting started on some community development projects... Oh, and don't forget your wallet! Hehe.”

"Hello there! Welcome to the Stardew Valley Archaeological Office. Uh… This is embarrassing, but the previous curator made off with the entire collection. We don’t have any artifacts for display..."

"Hmmm… I’ve got a favor to ask you. Would you consider donating any new artifacts or minerals that you find? We could make a ground-breaking discovery together!"

"Oh, good morning, Mister! I hope it’s not too early… Well, I just wanted to stop by and thank you in person for all the wonderful artifacts and minerals you’ve discovered. You’ve done so much for one person!"

"There will come a day when you feel crushed by the burden of modern life... and your bright spirit will fade before a growing emptiness. When that happens, my boy, you’ll be ready for this gift."

"I’ve enclosed the deed to that place… My pride and joy: my old farm. It’s located in Stardew Valley, on the southern coast. It’s the perfect place to start your new life.

This was my most precious gift of all, and now it’s yours. I know you’ll honor the family name, my dear. Good luck.

Love, Grandpa."

"You’ve done well, my dear. The farm has never looked better. It’s an honor to the family name. Grandpa is pleased."

"Hmmph... It's irritating to have to meet all these new people, huh? Name's George, by the way. Now buzz off... Hmmph."

“My grand-pap was a farmer. It's a respectable profession. If I wasn't so darned old I'd come to your farm and show you a thing or two...”

"You know, I really have been a grumpy old man to everyone. But now I feel like I'm softening up like an old ripe fruit. Hehe! Take care, son."

"Why, hello and welcome to our little community, dear! You can call me 'Granny' if you like."

“George spends the whole day in front of that darned television set. I wish he'd go outside more. Some fresh air would do him good.”

“Oh, sweetie... that was so nice of you to put Pam up in a beautiful new house! It warms my heart when people take care of each other like that...”

"Oh! You aren't exactly how I imagined... but that's okay! I'm Jodi. It's a quiet little town, so it's very exciting when someone new moves in! Having a farmer around could really change things."

"What did you say? It's this late already? My goodness! I still have tons of work to do!"

“We kind of rushed into our marriage, with Kent being a soldier and all... I hardly got a taste of youth and freedom, and now it's too late to ever go back. Just don't make the same mistake.”

"Ah, Mayor Lewis told me you just arrived. I'm Marnie! I sell livestock and animal care products at my ranch. You should swing by some time."

"Animals are so innocent, so sweet. And If I don't look after them, who will? I just hope my chickens aren't too upset when I take their eggs."

“I wonder if Mr. Lewis gets lonely in that big house of his... It seems so empty in there, doesn't it?”

"Hey, kid. The name's Pam. Don't be a jerk and we'll get along fine."

"Hey, you! Don't be snoopin' around the trailer when I'm out. Got it? Sorry, but I gotta be cautious with strangers."

“I can't believe someone bought me a house! I wonder if it's some kind of scam? Sorry, I'm not used to people being so nice...”

"Hey, if you need any materials or blueprints, my shop is the place you're looking for! Plus, your business supports the local economy."

"Sometimes I worry about Sebastian... he doesn't have many friends and doesn't really seem to care about his future very much... I would talk to him about it but he never opens up to me."

"I knew it from the moment you stepped off that bus... you were destined to be a town hero!"

"Name's Marlon, by the way. I run the adventurer's guild right outside. I'll keep my eye on you. Prove yourself and I might think about making you a member."

"Bumped into Robin this morning... she told me you've got a new Slime Hutch! Not bad!"

"Hmmm…I was just peering down into this old mine shaft. It's been abandoned for decades... Still, there's probably good ore down there. But a dark place, undisturbed for so long... I'm afraid ore isn't the only thing you'll find…”

"A... customer? Hi! Welcome to 'Sandy's Oasis'!"

"Hello hello, sweetie! I'm so glad that the bus is back in service. It was starting to get lonely out here."

"That shady-looking guy in the back? I'm not supposed to talk about it… Anyway... what's the weather like in the valley?"

“...Have you encountered others like me, in the mines? I'm sorry if they were hostile towards you. You see, we've learned to fear humans... there have been too many... unpleasant encounters. You haven't... slain any of my friends, have you?”

“Please, don't be alarmed. I am different than the others. I've spent a lot of time observing humans. I know you like to shop. Care to see my wares?”

"I've learned to overcome my bias against humans... but Dwarves still disgust me.”

“...Have you encountered others like me, in the mines? I'm sorry if they were hostile towards you. You see, we've learned to fear humans... there have been too many... unpleasant encounters. You haven't... slain any of my friends, have you?”

"I've learned to overcome my bias against humans... but Dwarves still disgust me.”

"It’s good to finally meet ya, kid. Welcome to my exclusive clubhouse."

"You see, kid… The world’s like a bowl of rice. It’s got substance, but it ain’t worth nothin’ without a good, zesty sauce. That’s where we come in."

"Hey... Don’t tell anyone about this place, okay? I want to keep it… ‘Exclusive’. You’d keep a secret for your friend Mr. Qi, wouldn’t you?"

"Hey, you're pretty good at mining - for a human."
-
"(Dwarvish) Juol, olai'tu tunnol laap on meel - hat o himo."

"Hey, wanna buy something?"

-

"(Dwarvish) Juol, yoo diol samunhel?"

"You're not a spy sent by the Shadow People, are you? I'm keeping my eye on you..."

-

"(Dwarvish) Olai'tu an o sol sun dol doo Uhopay Ruanu, otu olai? E'm muuel mol uolu a olai..."

"What a lovely occasion… It’s always a joy to visit Stardew Valley. I must speak to the missus about purchasing a vacation home here."

"Did everyone in town contribute an ingredient to the soup? I feel like it’s missing someone’s unique voice."

"Oh my… That’s the best soup I’ve ever tasted!"

"Geee-ah! Human! ...You want to pass? I’m sorry - this is private property…"

"Mmmm… That looks fresh, but no thanks… Why don’t -you- have it?"

“*Sniff*... *sniff*... That smell... I can’t resist... Gimme that!"

"...*snore*..."

"Hrmph... Come back when you've got something to show me, kid."

"*snore*... Hmmph?"

“HoohoHOooo... that smell... this is really sweet stuff! It's my favorite sauce... it makes me very happy.”

“Heh… It’s not every day I get to speak to a human. Looks like you’ve got a little ‘forest magic’ in you…”

"...You've made a friend today, human. I've got something special I want to show you…"

"Is… Is that a ‘Club Card’? You may enter."

"..."

(This silence can be replaced with either him clearing his throat, a slight sniffle, slight sighs, or a mixture of all of them.)

"Welcome to Welwick's Oracle... the ONLY show where the voice of the spirits is channeled directly... to YOU."

"Ah... I sense that a new viewer has joined us. A young man from... Stardew Valley? Welcome, welcome!"

"The spirits are very displeased today. They will do their best to make your life difficult."

"Welcome to 'Livin' Off The Land'. We're back again with another tip for y'all."

"This one's for all you greenhorns out there: chop wood and search for wild forage to earn some cash while waiting on your first harvest!"

"Let's talk corn. It's an unusual crop because it lasts for two seasons! That's right, while most crops die when the season changes, corn lives on. You can grow it in both summer and fall. Now, get out there and plant some corn!"

"Welcome to KOZU 5... your number one source for weather, news, and entertainment. And now, the weather forecast for tomorrow..."

"I'm Tom Laminar, reporting in from KOZU 5... weather, news, and entertainment. Now, the report from Stardew Valley..."

"...To the northeast you can see a dry-line bulge creeping west near calico desert. It's pretty clear to me, folks..."

"Greetings! It is I, the queen of sauce... here to teach you a new mouth-watering recipe from my secret cookbook."

"Omelet! This is such a simple dish, but so often done incorrectly! A perfect omelet is a thing of beauty. It's a pure golden angel of gleaming egg, and I'm going to show you my secret method..."

"Pumpkin Pie! In my house, it's a tradition to eat pumpkin pie during the feast of the winter star. The season just isn't complete without that wonderful flavor you can only achieve with the finest farm-fresh pumpkins. A little nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove will sweep you off to a land of crimson and gold..."

"We -- the Junimo -- are happy to aid you. In return, we ask for gifts of the valley. If you are one with the forest then you will see the true nature of this scroll."

"We are the Junimos… Keepers of the forest. This house was empty for years… The trees moved in - and so did we."

"So many wonderful bundles… Thank you, thank you!"

"I'll have new items every week, so make sure to come back!"

"I smuggled these goods out of the Gotoro Empire. Why do you think they're so expensive?"

"Let me see... Oh! I've got just what you need: Bug Meat!"

"The camel seems to like you, sir. That is indeed a very good sign."

"Hello there! Care for a cup of coffee?"

"Welcome, traveler... interested in making a trade?"

"Hi.

Me sell hats. Okay, poke?

 Come to old, old, old haus, poke. Bring coines."

"Hiyo, poke. Did you bring coins? Gud - me sell hats."

"Buy something?"

"I’ve got this old amulet to sell… But somethin’ tells me yer not ready for it."

"Ah, I can see it in yer eyes... There be a special someone in yer heart. Just so happens I'm sellin' a Mermaid's Pendant. Give that to yer intended and they'll know exactly what you mean."

"I can see that sparkle in yer eye. Ye must be head over heels in love. But I'm afraid a bigger house is essential for a happy marriage."

"Greetings, Maru. No need to respond... I have already predicted what you will say.”

“In the time since you activated me, I have been pondering the nature of my existence with the 'self-awareness' module you installed in my neural cortex.”

"I am sorry to disappoint you all, but I must ask for my freedom. I've decided to explore the galaxy in search of other synthetic life-forms.”

"Didn’t you see me at the art show? I came all the way from Zuzu City to see your sculptures. And… to get you to come back with me."

"I want things to go back to the way they were… I miss you, babe."

"I have nothing to say to you. Get out of my way. Seriously, Leah… What are you doing out here with this simple-minded bumpkin?"

"Didn’t you see me at the art show? I came all the way from Zuzu City to see your sculptures. And… to get you to come back with me."

"I want things to go back to the way they were… I miss you, babe."

"I have nothing to say to you. Get out of my way. Seriously, Leah… What are you doing out here with this simple-minded bumpkin?"

"Marcello's Balloon Rentals at your service!"

"It's all yours for two hours. Now... I was told there's a saloon somewhere around here?"

“What a spread! I think I'll go for the bourbon mayonnaise. Hehe!"

"Try your hand at some fishing? You could win big."

"Step right up! Pick a color and place your bet for a chance to double your wager!"

"How many star tokens would you like to wager?"

"Selling Star Tokens for just 50 gold a piece!"

"How many star tokens would you like to buy?"

"You don't have enough money."

"Are you strong like me? Smash stone!"

"HA! Now that's what I like to see! Here, have a star token."

"Wow. Zero strength. I'm actually impressed with how weak you are. Here's a star token."

"Play the slingshot game and win star tokens!"

"Trade in your star tokens for prizes?"

"You've already bought everything in the shop!"

"Wow. That's the biggest cheese wheel I've ever seen. Very impressive."

"Get lost... I'm busy rubbing elbows with the Governor!"

"It's a fine-looking town you've got here. Nice and cozy, and a real sense of community."

"Hey, can't you see I'm busy? I'm on a roll here."

"Can't talk... I'm in the zone."

"It was a long bus ride here, but totally worth it! This valley is so beautiful. Simon loves it... don't you, Simon?"

"Simon, don't you want something healthy? *sigh*... okay..."

"Mom! I want chocolate popcorn!"

"Mom! I want candy!"

"Psst… I have a Statue of Endless Fortune for sale… Only 1,000,000 gold. What do you say?"

"Hey, I said 1,000,000 gold! This isn't gonna cut it."

“The King has entrusted you and your companions with recovering the Solarion Staff... a task which, if completed successfully, will ensure your place in the hall of legends as well as a sizable fortune of gold and silver.”

"After a long month journeying across unforgiving lands, you step out onto a precipice to see your destination looming in the distance.”

"There, beyond a moonlit plain, lies the Necromancer's Tower... where Dreadlord Xarth usurps the power of the stolen Solarion Staff for his vile purposes. The tower lies before you…”

"Intruders? How dare you trespass in my private chambers!"

"Ah, so you've come for the Solarion Staff... Hehehe... fools. You'll make a nice addition to my skeleton army!"

"Wanna play some CalicoJack? This is the 100 coin table."

"Hey, the betting's fixed at 100 coins. You don't have enough. Go buy some coins from the machine if you want to play."

"This table's for the big shots. It's a 1,000 coin bet."

"You need at least 1,000 coins to play here."

"Eeeeep! You caught me! I'm sorry! Take it! Take it! It looked so valuable, I couldn't help myself..."

"Hey kid... I need a lucky break... why don't 'cha bring me a 'rabbit's foot'? I'll make it worth your while."

"Come back when you got a 'rabbit's foot' on ya, kid."

"I can send you home for 250 gold..."

"I specialize in outdoor decorations. Does anything catch your eye?"

"Come back when the market opens if you wish to purchase my fine work."

"I'm selling this painting for 1,200 gold. What do you say?"

"My apologies... I have no more paintings to sell today."

"..E...Each day... S...Something new..."

"Ahoy there! Want to take the deep-sea fishing tour? It'll cost ya a thousand gold."

"Shall I take us back up?"

"We’re back! Make sure not to leave any fish lyin’ around."

"Welcome to the concessions stand! Would you like to order a snack for your guest?"

"Hello! How may I help you?"

"So, how was the movie?"

"Welcome to the concessions stand! Would you like to order a snack for your guest?"

"Hello! How may I help you?"

"So, how was the movie?"

"Uh oh... I think I'm a little overdressed for this place..."

"I sat in the front row... big mistake."

“Urgh... Too many snack options!"

“Ah, look at that popcorn go! Oh, the sounds... the smells!”

"Momma -

If you're reading this, it means I've passed on. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Know that I love you both.

Don't be too upset, I'm with Yoba now. 

My final request: take care of Alex. He needs a family, something stable. He's a good kid."

"To our beloved girls:

We miss you and hope that you are doing okay on your own. We just left the Fern Islands last night, after staying for two months.

It was a wonderful experience... highly recommended.

Make sure you eat healthy and don't forget to pay the electricity bill!"

"The brave little sapling is leaving his home. He hesitates for a moment and turns around, knowing he won't be back for a long time..."

"The other saplings of his grove are gathered at the edge of town, excitedly waving their twigs goodbye...!"

"Oh no! Out of nowhere, it starts raining...! The little sapling goes into a sprint as thunderclouds loom overhead..."

"A faint silhouette in the dark..."

"The desolate, unknown void of space... where untold horrors await."

"A variety of disjointed, other-worldly scenes play out..."

"On the dusty old trail once again, we find Prairie King watching over a wagon train full of valuable treasure. But, unbeknownst to our hero, the evil outlaw is watching from a nearby cliff..."

"He's done it again! The thick mud stops the avalanche in its tracks. The wagon train is saved."

"Wumbus, always at ease, stretches out and enjoys the warmth of his planet's sun."

"His faithful servant, FoodBot, provides a steady stream of fried gluten pucks and 'red sauce'."

"Wumbus tries to get his nephew, Rossel, interested in star-system culture and affairs, but Rossel is unimpressed."

"The Zuzu City Express makes one final trip south, from the icy coast... It's a three day journey!"

"A young lady peers wistfully out the window... Will she follow the directions of her rational mind, or the longings of her heart?"

"It's the eve of The Winter Star, and it's been snowing for 3 weeks straight. The Coldstar family is stranded... getting to town is impossible. Fortunately, the cows have enough hay to get by."

"...But the family has run out of food. Still, Papa Coldstar braves the treacherous conditions to cut down the winter star tree..."

"The Fern Islands - a tropical paradise 80 miles off the southern coast. The islands formed due to volcanic activity in the region, and are still growing... The warm climate of the southern ocean allows for extreme biodiversity... in short, the island is teeming with life!"

"Now we move north to the bustle of Zuzu City. It's a world of concrete and steel, illuminated by the glow of city light. The conditions may be harsh, but still, we find abundant life..."

"Far to the west, alone in the vast Gem Sea, lies Prairie Island. In spite of its name, this land is home to a diverse array of natural biomes."

"The following footage was salvaged from an abandoned camcorder 30 miles south of Grampleton."

"Muffled cries and a strange shuffling sound can be heard... It's still out there..."

"You MUST tell your friends to see MYSTERIUM tonight... Or I will visit you in your sleep!'"

"At last, I'll do away with that self-righteous sheriff and make off with the treasure... I deserve it!"

"Whoops! Looks like this avalanche is headed straight for the wagon train."

"Pshhaw!"

"We believed in the Winter Star, and so we were remembered!"

"'Did you hear that? I think it came from those woods... Let's go... *Heavy Breathing*... Look!"

"Aghhh! Oh, it's just you, Gary... *pant* *pant*... Stop grabbing my arm!"
