Dialogue[]
Dialogue Set #1[]
Available only before beginning the player's first fight against the Icewind Suite.
- Maillardet: (Sir, ma'amSir, ma'am/
Good ladiesGood ladies), I wish you a good morning, afternoon, and evening! - Maillardet: My name is Maillardet, a researcher with the Fontaine Research Institute. I believe the two of you are here to witness the Icewind Suite?
- Maillardet: According to Mr. Bossuet's original plan, Coppelius and Coppelia are clockwork meka dedicated to the art of dance.
- Maillardet: But after I took over the project, I also added in some of my understanding of Pneumosia...
- Maillardet: So as you can see, not only are they good at dancing, but they are also highly capable fighters!
- Maillardet: However, I believe that there's still much room for improvement. We require large amounts of experimental data to further increase their combat prowess.
- Maillardet: I might have gotten too passionate during the development phase — and from that came two different combat modes for Coppelius and Coppelia based on the differences between Pneuma and Ousia...
- Maillardet: They are Dirge of Coppelia and Nemesis of Coppelius. That is to say, we'll need two times the research data!
- Maillardet: As long as we can iterate on them smoothly, the joy of our success will be doubled.
- Maillardet: And the coming of that joy now rests upon your shoulders, brave warrior!
- Icewind Suite Drops

Good ladiesGood ladies), are you ready to take part in the Icewind Suite? - Try "Dirge of Coppelia."
- (Enter combat)
- Try "Nemesis of Coppelius."
- (Enter combat)
- Tell me about the Icewind Suite...
- Maillardet: What would you like to know?
- What's the story of the Icewind Suite?
- Maillardet: A fine question!
- Maillardet: Like how Coppelius was defeated in a war against temptation, and was thus punished. Or how Coppelia so loved him that she nearly died from grief as a result.
- Maillardet: Or how, to save the imprisoned Coppelius, Coppelia would set out on a journey.
- Maillardet: Or how, no matter how things go, the drama shall end in a lovers' dance.
- Maillardet: Haha! Well, actually, that was just me making some story bits up. I mean, I'm no literary scholar, just a researcher who works with clockwork meka.
- Maillardet: As far as I'm concerned, their function is more important than their story.
- Maillardet: However, if you're that interested in the story... Well, I'll consider.
- Why do they need combat skills?
- Maillardet: Um... Well, actually, Mr. Bossuet was against that at first, too.
- Maillardet: I guess you could consider this... my personal interest?
- Maillardet: See? Now that Coppelius and Coppelia have combat abilities, their dance now exudes elegance as well as power!
- Maillardet: Regardless of what anyone else thinks, I believe that this was a successful attempt.
- Maillardet: Of course, there was a happy accident involved... With Mr. Bossuet's departure from the Institute, there's no one left to reject my research plans!
- Let's do this later.
- Maillardet: The dance floor is always open for you.
Dialogue Set #3[]
Available once the Icewind Suite is defeated but has not respawned.
- Maillardet: Bold (sirsir/
ma'amma'am), the data sample collection and repair of our clockwork machines will take some time, so please wait patiently in the meantime.
