Dickson/Gameplay (XC1)/Dialogue

This page lists all of what Dickson says during gameplay in Xenoblade Chronicles.

As a guest, Dickson has significantly fewer lines than a full party member, and several of them cannot be heard in regular gameplay (without cheats):
 * He cannot be the party leader, his level is fixed, and he only appears in two specific battles.
 * The fights in the prologue cannot be executed poorly without a lot of intentional effort, such as standing idle and allowing the enemies to attack without countering.
 * The battles he is in begin immediately. The player must lose and try again for "battle start" lines to play.
 * He has gems equipped that prevent him from ever becoming toppled or incapacitated.

Battle start
''The lines that play are based on the difference in of the enemy and the party leader. Black-tagged enemies trigger "overlevelled" lines, red-tagged enemies trigger "underlevelled" lines, and those in between are "equal-levelled".''

 * Ah!

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.''
