What does Loxodont say in Rivals of Aether 2?

[BeginnerBear]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been playing Rivals of Aether 2, and I really like Loxodont. However, I have trouble understanding some of his voice lines in the game. Does anyone have a transcript of what he says, or could someone help me figure out his dialogue?

I’m not a native English speaker, so some of the lines are difficult for me to catch. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Victory/Outro: "You don't deserve power."

Up Taunt: "You're pathetic."

Self destruct: "Its not my time!"

Cant remember anymore off the top of my head.

Thank you for your help!

I appreciate you sharing these lines. They sound really cold and ruthless! I didn’t expect Loxodont to have such a villainous tone—I didn’t originally see him as a bad guy. That was surprising!

Thanks again for taking the time to reply!

Loxodont's basically the main villain of the franchise and framed Forsburn for the death of the previous emperor and father of both Zetterburn & Forsburn (foster) in the 1st game, who was actually assassinated by Loxodont and the Fire Council.

In an alternate future, he got rid of Forsburn & Zetterburn, replaced his body with machinery and rules over the Flame Empire for a century. This is where Clairen comes from, and she travels back in time to kill Loxodont in the past to change the future, pretty much like Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening.

Of the fire characters, Forsburn & Clairen are clearly the most aligned with good (even if "Amateur, tch" for Clairen makes her sound super arrogant), Zetterburn is mostly a clueless and probably borderline "himbo" pawn who believes Loxodont at least in the 1st game, and Mollo from RoA 1 is from Clairen's timeline but after Clairen travels to the past and he's also a freedom fighter.

The only one fire character other than Loxodont who is villain coded and will most likely become a playable character later comes from Dungeons Of Aether (the game where Fleet comes from) and her name is Artemis, though she too is pretty much a pawn.

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! I really appreciate the insight you gave into the lore and characters.

I have to say, I was really surprised to learn that Loxodont is the main villain. I honestly thought Forsburn and Clairen were the bad guys based on their appearances! I started the game because I found the characters so visually interesting, but I didn’t know much about their personalities or roles in the story. To find out Loxodont is actually the villain and that Forsburn and Clairen are more aligned with good was a huge twist for me! It’s made me even more curious to dive deeper into the lore.

If you have any recommendations on where I should look to learn more about the story, I’d really appreciate it!

The most complete game with a standalone story with also added optional bits of lore is Dungeons of Aether. It's also translated in many languages, so maybe depending on what language you speak you'll be more at ease with that one.

Rivals of Aether 1's story mode covers the 8 base characters, but it's pretty barebones and really it's just RoA 2's arcade mode with added flavor text. If you don't already have RoA 1 and aren't interested in it, you can just watch on Youtube the 5-10 minutes worth of story text in there.

Otherwise, you'll have to turn yourself to the Tales of Aether comics, which are centered around Clairen. They're written by the same guy who wrote Dungeons of Aether and the Sonic IDW comics.

Then Lovers of Aether is just an April Fools dating sim alternate universe sh1tpost. A high effort sh1tpost (Forsburn is an hilarious boy failure in there), and though free and has a quiz test in the middle with lore questions, it's irrelevant.

Victory/Outro: "You don't deserve pizza."

Self-destruct: "Mamma Mia!"

It's worth noting that Tales of Aether is currently available through Amazon's Kindle Unlimited service, which offers a free trial if you don't already have it. (Just make sure to go into your membership settings and choose to end your subscription, which will end it after the free trial month and not auto-renew, if you don't want to be charged after the trial ends.)

Thank you for answering my questions! I’ll definitely check out the videos and try Dungeons of Aether as well.

I also tried Lovers of Aether, and it was so much fun! Honestly, it feels like a waste for it to be just an April Fools project. In Rivals, Etalus is such a tough-looking character, but in Lovers of Aether, he was absolutely adorable.

By the way, it looks like today’s update added new voice lines for Loxodont. If you have any info about them, I’d love to hear more!
