Yooo want info? Nice info? "Clink clink"? Yooo know "clink clink"?
I've recently come to the conclusion that Prince Trion is strikingly similar to Laguna Loire.
On the one hand, this is kind of horrifying, since he may end up ruling San d'Oria someday. On the other, it strengthens my belief that San d'Oria is better then everyone else and I truly made the correct decision in choosing it as my city.
The following is part of a cutscene I played through/watched this afternoon. Trion doesn't actually appear in it, but it's about him. I think it is hilarious.
CONTEXT: You, the player (Hisime, in this case), have been running around the Near East's western capital of Al Zahbi. When you report to the Mithra in charge of the mercenaries, Naja Salaheem, for something to do, an Elvaan, Raillefal, walks in. He makes a pain of himself and eventually runs back out after Naja insults him and his strange western name (she never says it right. She calls him Riffle) too many times. You chase him across town until you pay one of the Qiqirn (which, by the way, are adorable) to tell you if he's seen anything - then you confront the Elvaan, who is really the elder San d'Orian prince, Trion.
Trion eventually sends you back to San d'Oria to deliver a letter to Halver, who is the king's "right-hand man."
This results:
Halver: Hisime. As you are likely aware, all matters concerning the royal family pass through me.
What have we here? A letter...with writing so terrible I cannot even read that I am the intended recipient.
This carrion worm scrawl... I have seen its like before... The person who entrusted you with this message... The "Lord of Illegibility," as I would call him...
I am certain... This letter is from the heir to the throne of San d'Oria, the Prince Royal, Trion I d'Oraguille!
(Hisime/The Player's Character shakes her head, no.)
Halver: I am mistaken, you say? This letter was written by one Sage Raillefal?
But this chocobo scratch could only be the work of Prince Trion...
I shall prove it to you. I have long attended to the prince and encountered many opportunities to decipher his...unique...style of writing... A moment, if you will...
...
??? Astril Condes...? Astrul Wand...? Uar? This truly is atrocious...
I have no doubt this letter is from Prince Trion! But I am afraid I cannot make out the meaning...
Rahal: Monarlais Halver. You look troubled. Perhaps I may be of assistance?
Halver: !
General Rahal. Your offer of aid is most generous, however...
Rahal: No need to be so humble. You have one of Trion's indecipherable letters, do you not?
Halver: How could you know...?
Rahal: I have my sources...
Some days ago, Prince Trion abandoned the signing of some official documents... He placed a mannequin in his chair, and fled the chateau in the dead of night...
Halver: At least it was not a forest hare this time...
Rahal: That is when I had Travialce here shadow the prince's movements. He has had training in the arts of the ninja.
Travialce: Sir. Prince Trion first made his way to Mhaura and passed himself off as an adventurer.
Halver: Dear Altana... A member of the royal family traipsing about as an "adventurer"...
The court will be mortified.
Travialce: From there, His Highness boarded a ferry bound for the shores of Aht Urhgan...
Halver: Aht Urhgan!?
And then?
Travialce: I quickly slipped aboard as well, and guarded the royal person from the shadows. The ferry safely arrived in Al Zahbi with the prince none the wiser of my presence. After entering the city, Prince Trion headed straight to a mercenary company and apparently signed some sort of contract.
Halver: A contract!? Surely not with his own name? This could escalate into an international crisis!
Travialce: There is nothing to fear on that count. His Highness travels the Empire under the assumed name of "Raillefal."
Halver: So no one in Al Zahbi is aware of his true identity?
Travialce: I wouldn't say that, milord... The price is wearing a suit of gilded gold plate and is not subtle in his information gathering.
Halver: Great Goddess... Then he is not disguised at all?
Travialce: No, milord.
Pieuje, Trion's far-less-amusing brother, eventually turns up and translates the letter properly, and everyone discusses what to do with the worrying information.
Also, while I was chasing Trion, in all his shiny gold armor glory, around Whitegate, I was laughing myself ill at his pathetic attempts to blend in. When you're allowed to call him on his true identity, he freaks out, denies everything, and wonders how he, Trion, could... er, oops? You have found me out.
I am so glad Trion appears to be having a large(ish) role in the ToAU story line! Elvaan in general are ridiculously amusing, but Trion is so over the top. You spend a fair amount of time around him obtaining Rank 10 for San d'Oria, but I have Rank 10, so I don't get to see any new idiocy from him.
Trion! I heart you (and everyone else in your bizarre family) forever. Never stop being such a tremendous dork!
I will try to stop spamming about my game that nobody plays now. \o.O/
