So, a while back, I was looking at the script in the TLA editor and discovered some dialogue in the prologue of Golden Sun that isn't used, as far as I can tell. I did a lot of testing, using walk through walls to skip cutscenes and such, to try and find these dialogues but they never did come up. Here are the dialogue lines:
I believe the first three are a yes/no question and responses depending on which one you pick.
I had this theory that the dialogue belonged to the old man and woman in the plaza. They both react as if you're asking them to help Felix normally and don't say those unused lines. Earlier on, when you see Felix in the river, Dora asks you if you'll help. I believe that this was meant to set a flag - 0 = not helping, 1 = helping. If 0, you get the above lines, if 1, you get the lines that are used. However, saying yes or no to Dora makes no difference, so they might have messed something up and thus the above lines go unused. But that's just a theory. Maybe they were meant to go to other NPCs who weren't there in the end.
I know you can use the map editor and see the lines assigned to the sprites. Though it's not perfect... when I load the correct event and NPC setting for the plaza, I get the woman's line about being unable to use Psynergy, but there doesn't seem to be any dialogue for the old man which is odd because he's definitely there in the prologue. It's the same with some of the other sprites there too.
I'd like to solve this mystery but the TLA editor is a puzzle in of itself. Anybody experienced with the map editor want to offer some tips or help shed some light on this puzzle?
