Employee Dialogue
After assigning duties to an employee, they can be found in the open world at their designated attraction. If an attraction has multiple employees, the one that appears is randomized.
Basima the Fifth
| Employee | Details | Staff Resume | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rarity: 5 | Hello, Fantasyland's upper brass! I'm Basima the Fifth, author of a number of academic papers on animals. As you can see, I'm a big fan! And I've heard your Mellow Manor just so happens to have lots of animals, including huge finches and squirrels raised on special feed, and well-trained Fungi and elemental lifeforms! I've seen the tamer in charge of feeding and training your animal friends, and I'm sure she and I have a lot in common! We're both interested in studying how humans, animals, and friendly elemental lifeforms can coexist harmoniously! To this end, the Mellow Manner [sic] provides a perfect case study... so if you hire me to help, I promise I'll make it worth your while! | ||

Basima the Fifth: Adorable!
- (Talk to Basima the Fifth)
- Basima the Fifth: I'm not saying everyone else isn't cute, but finches are definitely the cutest!
Who's the second cutest?
- Basima the Fifth: Oh, that's not something I've given much thought to...
- Basima the Fifth: Squirrels are fluffy, fungi are springy...
- Basima the Fifth: Then there's slimes, they're all pudgy and soft and adorably slow — not that I've stroked one.
- Basima the Fifth: If I had to give my appraisal, I'd say... I really can't decide!
The same goes for your mindset!
- Basima the Fifth: Huh! Are you saying my mindset is "cute"? Thank you for the compliment...
- Basima the Fifth: If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought there was anything special about my mindset. I'm used to it, after all...
- Basima the Fifth: In that case, I'm going to work extra hard to try and spread my mindset to as many guests as I can...
- Basima the Fifth: Then the whole world can be cute together!
That's the spirit! Make sure to enjoy your work!
- Basima the Fifth: Hehe, thank you for giving me the opportunity. This job is so great! The next time you need someone, let me know.
Bold Bang Bouldern
- (Idle quote)
Bold Bang Bouldern: Gotta be careful not to hurt my back...
- (Talk to Bold Bang Bouldern)
- Bold Bang Bouldern: Hey there! Great hero and magnificent leader, I await your command! How may I be of service?
And you are...
- Bold Bang Bouldern: I'm just a humble wrestler from the Collective of Plenty. I doubt you'd remember me, even if I introduced myself properly...
- Bold Bang Bouldern: Which is why I've decided to style myself as "Utterly and Indisputably Vanquished Foe of the Mighty Varesa." At the very least, it should help me stand out from the crowd!
- Bold Bang Bouldern: When Varesa was still only a few years old, she gave me an absolute pummeling. She picked me up one-handed and carried me out of the ring. How about that for a story, huh... Surely that's memorable enough?
I command you to earn 10,000,000 Mora!
- Bold Bang Bouldern: Wow, you must really believe in me! I'm not sure the whole park brings in that much money, let alone this one attraction...
- Bold Bang Bouldern: I've been helping Varesa make deliveries for a good few years now, and I've never seen a transaction even close to that big!
- Bold Bang Bouldern: As a boss, you must make a decent amount from dividends, right?
- Bold Bang Bouldern: How about... you buy a 10-year membership at Coach Iansan's gym? They buy the full set of ultimate courses. Trust me, that's a guaranteed winner right there!
Just focus on doing a good job.
- Bold Bang Bouldern: Understood! I won't let you down!
Brest
- (Idle quote)
Brest: Not fast enough...
- (Talk to Brest)
- Brest: I can't help feeling like it's not fast enough. It would be great if we could modify things to speed up the experience for our guests. Maybe if we installed a void generator on the front and some sort of propulsion device on the back...
Are you planning on firing our guests out like cannonballs?
- Brest: Of course! This is supposed to be a thrilling attraction, after all! The faster the ride, the more exciting the experience!
- Brest: That said, what with this being an underwater attraction, you should really be comparing things to torpedoes rather than cannonballs...
- Brest: Obviously, this is an amusement park, so safety is paramount. That's why I want to provide reliable protection for every guest — something along the lines of what the clockwork meka are armored in should do.
- Brest: Not to mention a sufficiently thick and cushioned buffer layer to absorb unforeseen impacts.
- Brest: Hmm... Something seems off about this. In order to meet my design criteria, these suits are going to have to be sturdy enough to knock out a Hunter's Ray...
Have you considered the cost?
- Brest: Now that you mentioned it, the ticket price is quite cheap. If we want to rescale these suits for commercial use, the R&D budget alone...
- Brest: If we can boost the performance parameters for use in law enforcement, we could open the suits up for Maison Gardiennage procurement and cover some of the costs that way.
- Brest: On second thoughts... Covering production costs by selling amusement park equipment to law enforcement agencies... It feels like we've got this all backwards somehow.
How about I leave you to figure out the details?
- Brest: Hmm... I'll report back to you when I've reached a conclusion! You've the boss, after all. Your approval is non-negotiable!
Captain Ferment O'Juice
- (Idle quote)
Captain Ferment O'Juice: Hmm... needs more spice...
- (Talk to Captain Ferment O'Juice)
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: I've heard that some animals can ferment food in their stomachs to prepare it for eating. If I do the fermenting for them, then it should save them some effort. Genius idea, huh?
You'd better have a proper theoretical basis for this...
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: Haha, of course I don't! But a chef's intuition can't possibly be wrong — not when it comes to preparing food.
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: And sure, I've been getting a lot of complaints because the flavor isn't quite right. But if you let fear of criticism stop you from trying new things, then you'll never make any progress.
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: If I get it wrong this time, you can call me every name under the sun. I won't shy away from criticism!
Just try not to produce any hazardous chemicals...
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: Of course! I conduct all my experiments in a sealed environment. If they let off any noxious gases, I'll be the first to feel the effects...
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: Once I come to, I'll make sure to destroy the lot. That way, there'll be no risk of wider contamination!
You might need to consider the cost...
- Captain Ferment O'Juice: Don't worry about that — when it comes to experiments like this, I pay out of my own pocket!
Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand
- (Idle quote)
Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: Attention to detail's the key...
- (Talk to Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand)
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: As the Demoiselle's partner and esteemed benefactor of the Spina di Rosula, you, too, are my superior. Please, what would you have me do?
Just make sure you do a good job.
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: That is a matter of course. I will treat every animal in the manor with the same care and attention as I did when serving Monsieur Consigliere.
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: I merely thought that you might have some additional requirements. For example... That I assist our guests in conversing with the animsl, so that they may better understand their viewpoints...
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: Though I may be busy, if you were to have such a requirement, I have... brothers I can call. You wouldn't need to pay another Mora more.
What wonderful attire!
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: Why, thank you for the compliment!
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: You have a certain coldness to you, you stand tall and straight — perhaps you too, might suit... the more solemn attire that we favor in the Spina di Rosula.
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: Were you to dress all in black, with a pair of dark glasses, and conspicuously display your formidable approach throughout the land... I'm sure you could gather your own group of loyal disciples.
I'll be going. Stay focused on the job at hand.
- Consigliere's Ex-Left Hand: As you ordain. I won't take up any more of your time!
Costentin
- (Idle quote)
Costentin: Gorgeous!
- (Talk to Costentin)
- Costentin: Elegant! Exquisite! I'm entirely enamored with these exhilarating improvisations!
I do hope you're working hard.
- Costentin: I unquestionably am! I had two double espressos before I started work — my motivation and energy levels are through the roof!
- Costentin: It's just a shame we don't have enough staff to accompany the guests in their puzzle-solving. All we can do is sit by and provide help when necessary. It could be so much more fun...
Try not to get overly "enamored." You need to maintain focus.
- Costentin: And I surely will! This attraction may lack the urgency and pressure of battle, but these mechanical challenges are not to be taken lightly!
- Costentin: In the name of the Blade Dancer, I assure you, I will ensure that our guests will be entertained by an experience both exciting and safe!
You're really embracing the spirit!
- Costentin: As I eternally do!
Hajanad
- (Idle quote)
Hajanad: Wanna grab a snack?
- (Talk to Hajanad)
- Hajanad: Hehe... Haha... Hooheehahahe... Cheer up, my little animals, I've cooked you a delicious treat...
Could you try sounding a little less... creepy?
- Hajanad: Oh! I'm sorry, looking after these animals is so therapeutic! It's put [sic] me in a wonderful mood... Maybe I got a bit carried away with my laughter.
- Hajanad: I'm a good person, though! I signed a contract and everything. There's no way I would hurt these little cuties!
- Hajanad: Not to mention, as a new research, even if I did flee Fontaine, there's no way I could run away from Spantamad. Please believe me!
- Hajanad: *sigh* It's this stupid laugh of mine. If only I could change it...
Are you feeling cheerful yourself?
- Hajanad: Of course! It wasn't easy for me to become a researcher, so I decided to take a little holiday to celebrate. Then I ran into this celebration in Fontaine, and so here I am, having fun while making a little extra money on the side...
- Hajanad: I should say, the fact I was able to write a conclusive thesis and officially become a researcher was all due to you.
- Hajanad: If you want, I can agree to only take half my salary as a way to show my gratitude.
Be careful what you feed those animals...
- Hajanad: I will! I've committed the safest, most nutritional feed formula to memory. This is a lot simpler than brewing potions, there's no way I can go wrong!
Helene
| Employee | Details | Staff Resume | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rarity: 3 | Work experience: Follow-up development for the Fontaine Research Institute's "Stabilization Mechanism" project, logistics supplier for the Fontinalia Film Festival... Personal strengths: Good sense of teamwork, plus willingness to take on menial or difficult tasks! I'm tough enough to handle any amount of overtime, and I can bear with half a day off every seven days of work! Salary expectations: I'd be grateful for basic bonuses and insurance... But if that's not workable... just don't make me pay to work, alright? Career prospects: Getting converted from contractor to full-time would be a miracle enough — no more job-hopping nightmares, please, by all the Archons... | ||
| Starting Level: 6/7 | |||
| "Outsourced Employee" | Attraction: Ecletic Escapades | ||
- (Idle quote)
Helene: Easy-peasy!
- (Talk to Helene)
- Helene: He—Hello... Do you have a request for me?
Take care of your mental well-being and enjoy your work!
- Helene: I—Is that all? There's no... 100-page set of requirements?
- Helene: Phew... It looks like I've finally caught a break. A nice, easy assignment...
- Helene: Although, at most, it might keep me busy for a couple of months... If only I could work here forever...
I get the impression I intimidate you...
- Helene: Oh, no, I'm not intimidated, just cautious! You know what they say... "Never upset the client." Haha...
- Helene: Besides, given all the help you've lent me in the past, it's important that I show you the proper respect!
- Helene: I can't afford to get fired again. The way the market is right now, it's not a good time to be looking for work as a freelance engineer...
- Helene: I like this position. I'll work as hard as it takes to get the job done!
Not really.
- Helene: I—In that case, I won't disturb you. I should get back to my work...
Ironbelly
- (Idle quote)
Ironbelly: Action!
- (Talk to Ironbelly)
- Ironbelly: The guests are really getting into it. It's very exciting!
Are you wearing a costume?
- Ironbelly: I've been found out. Small wonder you're the boss!
- Ironbelly: I've actually been an extra in quite a few films. One time, I was playing a Fortress of Meropide Guard who took a well-placed knee from a protagonist...
- Ironbelly: My friends and family all said it was my best work — a career highlight! My image has been inextricably tied to this guard costume ever since.
I hope we get more reviews like yours.
- Ironbelly: Just look at all the thrilling mechanisms in this attraction! If we could only add a spooky maze, it would be so much more immersive!
- Ironbelly: But it's important to look out for children and those with heart conditions, so I understand why we can't.
- Ironbelly: *sigh* What if I were to open up a separate... "Ghost House" type attraction?
Don't get too carried away on the job.
- Ironbelly: Don't worry about me. I won't let myself get careless.
Jala
| Employee | Details | Staff Resume | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rarity: 3 | Hi! I heard the Mellow Manor is an attraction home to animals of all kinds, with some specially trained, gentle, and unique lifeforms. I'm really interested to see it for myself! Look, here's my "Wildlife Problem Management Permit," straight from the Maison Gardiennage, so you know I'm trustworthy! Although I'm not great at dealing with park guests, nor have I dealt with business matters in ages, and I've gotten rusty at bookkeeping, but I'll do my best! Compensation is negotiable — I could survive on salaries so low they would terrify most... Although I did just blow through my funds on recent ventures, the grind must go on! A standard wage would save my life, and you'd have my eternal gratitude! | ||
| Starting Level: 1/10 | |||
| "Now an Animal Lover" | Attraction: Mellow Manor | ||
- (Idle quote)
Jala: Be good, now...
- (Talk to Jala)
- Jala: Don't go running off now, little ones. If you're good, we can prepare some delicious food and hold a banquet for you all over at the manor...
R—Running off?
- Jala: Don't mind them, they're perfectly harmless — just so long as they don't break anything. It's just a bit of mischief that can be easily trained out of them.
- Jala: But if they start running around and breaking things, or hurting the other animals, even upsetting the local ecosystem...
- Jala: Well, they would make them an invasive species! In which case, they would need to be dealt with... mercilessly!
What's on the menu?
- Jala: Uh... I guess it would need to be vegetarian...
- Jala: If they need more protein, then we can add some legumes... Cooking isn't really my forte, my experience is more with looking after prey... We could try taking them back to their natural habitat...
- Jala: Oh, that reminds me. I should really do some research on how to properly feed the guests at the manor.
Make sure to look after the animals!
- Jala: It's my duty. I'll see it through to the best of my ability!
King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce
- (Idle quote)
King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce: Zzz...
- (Talk to King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce)
- King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce: Blub!
...
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (You start to question your reasons for employing a Blubberbeast...)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (Was it out of curiosity? Or were you trying to show Navia something different?)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (Whatever the reason... you can't deny that the Blubberbeast is doing a good job. It's probably best to let it get on with its work.)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (Were it not for the Blubberbeast's consummate professionalism, it seems to you that many of the guests to the Mellow Manor might not have purchased tickets at all...)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (In fact, based on this performance, you really should be considering giving the Blubberbeast a raise.)
...Blub?
- King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce: !
- King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce: Blub... blub blub! Blub blub blub! Blub, blub... blub!
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (You causally imitate the Blubberbeast's call, but the creature seems to misunderstand your intent. Believing you to be talking to it in its own language, a wave of excitement washed over the Blubberbeast...)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (Despite its most enthusiastic salutations, you are unable to comprehend its meaning...)
- Observe the Blubberbeast: (You find yourself seriously considering hiring an animal whisperer to teach you how to communicate with certain animals...)
Good Blubberbeast! After work, I'll reward you with a grilled fish!
- King of Grilled Fish in Mint Sauce: Blub blub!
Marine
- (Idle quote)
Marine: Odd jobs, odd jobs...
- (Talk to Marine)
- Marine: Hey there, Boss, look how hard I'm working! Could you see your way to upping my pay? That way, I can buy more gifts for Aeval.
Aeval?
- Marine: Yeah, she's the guide on the Clementine Line aquabus. We used to be colleagues.
- Marine: FOr some reason, they transferred her away. Before she left, she would help me with all sorts of stuff — I've been looking for a way to thank her ever since.
- Marine: But there's me, working away, and I never seem to have the time. It's only recently that I've finally gotten the chance for some recreation.
- Marine: I originally asked Aeval to come with me, but she turned me down. She said soemthing about "There's a big event going on, which means there'll be a lot of passengers to take care of"...
- Marine: So I plan to get her some gifts instead!
Why not Elphane?
- Marine: Elphane? So you're familiar with the "Scarlet Specter"?
- Marine: To be perfectly honest, I've never been her biggest fan. She used to take all the most prestigious jobs for herself — it made me look like I wasn't pulling my weight.
- Marine: Shooting, fighting... Ahem... I mean, she's got almost perfect grades in all the main professional skills.
- Marine: A talent like that, every time a holiday rolls around, she's sure to receive a deluge of gifts. She certainly doesn't need any more from me...
Keep up the hard work!
- Marine: Don't worry, I will! I'll approach this with the same vigor as though I was preparing for battle... Ahem, I mean, preparing for peaceful maritime labor!
Melies
- (Idle quote)
Melies: Good angle, good angle...
- (Talk to Melies)
- Melies: If I can get the lighting effects just right on the key mechanisms, then we should be able to get the perfect shot. But we really need to splurge more on props in the future.
Splitting your attention between work and inspiration?
- Melies: Haha, my apologies, force of habit... I believe everyone in my profession must suffer from the same affliction.
- Melies: See, I'm here working for you on the side to earn money for shooting my next film. How about... you give me a raise?
- Melies: When production's over, I'll give you top billing in the "With Special Thanks To" section of the credits!
You sure your own hard-earned Mora will be enough?
- Melies: I never have enough funds. Balancing the budget is part of a director's responsibilities.
- Melies: Considering the overall requirements of the upcoming picture, I'm inclinded to... reduce the outlay on so-called star actors and reallocate those funds to props, set design, and special effects.
- Melies: After all, there's more to a picture than staring at the actors' faces... Exquisite scenery and richly textured props are key elements, too.
I can see you have a lot to consider, but don't forget your work either.
- Melies: A skilled director is a master of holding multiple trains of thought. Your attraction's in safe hands, I guarantee!
Miss Gardemetiquette
- (Talk to Miss Gardemetiquette)
- Miss Gardemetiquette: ...?
...
- Observe "Miss Gardemetiquette": (The uniquely-named Gardemek appears to nod its head, signaling that everything is fine. You're not sure exactly why, but you're filled with a sense of relief.)
?
- Observe "Miss Gardemetiquette": (The uniquely-named Gardemek signals to you with a series of flashing components. You're unable to decipher its message...)
- Observe "Miss Gardemetiquette": (If you get the chance, you should ask the Maison Gardiennage to teach you how to communicate with the Gardemeks...)
Sorry to bother you...
- Observe "Miss Gardemetiquette": (The uniquely-named Gardemek is no longer looking at you. Its focus has returned to its work. Who knows what problems it might encounter...)
Nusta
- (Idle quote)
Nusta: Adventure stories...
- (Talk to Nusta)
- Nusta: Great hero, it is an honor to be able to work for you.
I feel like we've met before...
- Nusta: That's right! I was fortunate enough to fight against the Abyss alongside you. When the dust settled, we even took a picture together in front of the Stadium of the Sacred Flame!
- Nusta: I never imagined I'd run into you here in Fontaine.
- Nusta: If I'd have known, I wouldn't have tried all those drinks for the first time over at The Rusty Rudder. Standing here in front of you tipsy like this, it's a little bit embarrassing...
- Nusta: Ahem, but don't worry, it's mostly worn off already. I'm in complete control of the situation!
How are you finding the work here?
- Nusta: I love it! Working at a film-themed amusement park is the sort of unique life experience you don't often get the chance to enjoy...
- Nusta: If I hadn't gone and made the stupid mistake of drinking and diving — and losing my wallet in the process — then I'm sure I'd be having even more fun!
- Nusta: But even though every last Mora of my travel expenses was in that wallet, it's not the end of the world... You pay decent wages here, so if I work hard enough, I'm sure I'll be able to make it all back in just a few days!
Keep up the hard work!
- Nusta: Of course! This adventure attraction is a lot of fun, and there's no better motivation to work hard than doing something that stimulates you!
Petit Lumiere
- (Idle quote)
Petit Lumiere: How do I move the Kamera?
- (Talk to Petit Lumiere)
- Petit Lumiere: Wonderful attractions and a wide variety of cinematic themes — it's just like an anthology film! Taking this temp job was absolutely worth it!
You're only here on a temporary basis?
- Petit Lumiere: Indeed. As a film director, it's vital to find inspiration in life. Before this, I worked for a while in a shop and even as a blacksmith.
- Petit Lumiere: I may not be able to adjust to certain types of physical labor, but anything to do with the mind is very much in my wheelhouse.
- Petit Lumiere: If you ever need someone to help you come up with ideas, I'm your man!
Have you found much inspiration here?
- Petit Lumiere: Indeed, I have. Much to my surprise — and delight — I've been inspired to try out some new shooting techniques.
- Petit Lumiere: In my previous works, I've tended to employ restrained, static shots to drive the narrative. Doing so strikes a good balance between the atmosphere and the information conveyed.
- Petit Lumiere: However, after observing these attractions and considering the broader flow of your guests' movements, I've come up with some new ideas on how to frame my shots.
- Petit Lumiere: I'm going to try them out in my next film. I'm hoping they lead to some interesting new effects.
I'll leave you to your observations.
- Petit Lumiere: It's not just about observing. You also need to consider the reasons behind all the fine details.
Roxane
- (Idle quote)
Roxane: Finally, a break...
- (Talk to Roxane)
- Roxane: It's rare to get so much time to relax... Life without target practice is so quiet — it feels kind of strange.
T—Target practice?
- Roxane: It's part of my job. Don't be nervous.
- Roxane: Training for the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol has recently become more intense. We now have to practice shooting three times a week. Each training session requires firing off 120 rounds, with the 10 worst performers having to run 10 laps around the training ground.
- Roxane: A lot of people say it leaves a buzzing between their ears, but once you get used to it, I think it's exciting. It's like... the metallic clang of a hammer shaping iron. There's something uniquely pleasing about it.
- Roxane: Turenna gave me earplugs to wear, but I never use them.
Was your life not quiet before?
- Roxane: I'd say it was very fulfilling!
- Roxane: I plan to become the next exceptional sharpshooter of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. I hadn't taken a day off in three months, so Turenna put me on forced leave and sent me out here to relax...
- Roxane: Otherwise, I could still be training right now!
It's good to relax, just make sure you don't neglect your work.
- Roxane: You can count on me to complete my mission!
Uncle Scimitar
- (Idle quote)
Uncle Scimitar: Needs more impact...
- (Talk to Uncle Scimitar)
- Uncle Scimitar: Well, if it isn't Dehya's friend! So you're my boss this time!
I'm looking forward to working with you!
- Uncle Scimitar: You took the words right out of my mouth! However, you should be aware that due to certain personal habits... I might make some small mistakes.
- Uncle Scimitar: Like when playing the villain, I might get a bit too into it and end up scaring the guests... I've been known to comfort children into tears.
- Uncle Scimitar: Please forgive me if something like that ends up happening!
I feel like we've met before...
- Uncle Scimitar: Really? Oh, yes!
- Uncle Scimitar: You're famous! And aside from that, you're often out and about. I've seen you quite a few times now, but you probably haven't noticed me before.
- Uncle Scimitar: There was this one time — before I knew you were Dehya's friend — where we even went toe to toe. You gave me a solid beating, as I recall. Perhaps I managed to land a small scratch or two...
- Uncle Scimitar: If so, I must apologize. Anyway, it's all water under the bridge now.
Let's get rich together!
- Uncle Scimitar: Alright, I'll work hard to make that happen!
