Melancholy Tyrea

Melancholy Tyrea is a in Colony 6. It is a surprise quest that is automatically triggered and accepted when leaving Colony 6 south toward the Watchpoint Junction after the battle against the Sani Telethia.

Melancholy Tyrea is notable for being the only quest in the game with voiced dialogue, spread over three separate scenes. While it is possible that it was conceptualised as story content that was relegated to side content for whatever reason, the numerical IDs of its cutscenes do not support this theory. It can be considered a precursor of later games' character-specific quests, which are also fully voiced and focus on the development of lesser characters.

In addition, its events are strongly related to the narrative of Future Connected. It is not the only quest that is considered "canonical" in this sense, but it is the most important.
