Abby (Promo)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
And I vote to bring in the new year by splittin' some stuff in two!
Let's start with this rice cake or whatever... This is supposed to be split in two, right? Or is this supposed to be busted up?
But whatever! Result's the same either way, right? Here we go!

Abby: That's the first sunrise of the year! Ooh, look how pretty it is!
Bobo: Bobo (It fills me with determination to carry on.)
Abby: And it's so round! Ahh, don't it just make you wanna split it in two!
Bobo: Bo! (Why do you have such a violent imagination!)
Abby: Heh heh! I knew you'd agree, Bobo! You think so too, don't ya, (Captain)?
Bobo: Bo... (Haha... This is going to be another long year...)

Abby: Happy New Year to you, (Captain)! And to you too, Bobo!
So, Bobo, cough up the New Year's rupies for me and (Captain)!
Bobo: Bobo? Bo... (This little... Trying to take money from a bear...)
Bobo... (I guess I am an adult after all... And technically older than them...)
Abby: Don't tell me... You don't have any rupies for us?
Fine... I guess that's just the way you are...
How about I give you something instead!
Bobo: Bobo! Bo... (What! Abby... I knew you were a sweetheart...)
Abby: Here you go! It's a colorful bug I caught in the Lumacie woods! With lots of legs too!
I know you love these! Enjoy the meal!
Bobo: Bobo... (I knew it was too good to be true...)

Abby: Hey, (Captain)! Bobo has something for you!
Bobo: Bobo! (As a grown man... I mean, as a grown bear, I felt it only right to give you a New Year's gift, (Captain)!)
Abby: Lucky you, (Captain)! Mm, that fruit looks so good!
Bobo: Bo! (I got tired of getting bugs from Abby for New Year's and needed a chance of pace...)
Abby: Ehehe! Thanks, Bobo! Look how happy (Captain) is!
Aw, what a friendly bear. You deserve something special, Bobo...
Bobo: Bo... Bobo! (Please, no! I've done my part! Now to make a break for it!)
Abby: There's no need to be shy! I made sure to get you bugs aplenty!

Albert (Event)

Are you having a nice New Year's, (Captain)?
It'll surely be electrifying.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I hope I can rely on you this year as I did last year.
Oof, my knees... Ah, the view from here is amazing...
Hm? Something on your mind?
What? No, I didn't say anything about my knees. You need to get your ears checked, (Captain).
Geez... We just started the new year. Can you give me a break with that old man stuff? I'm hurt...

Hello, (Captain). I'm gazing at the setting sun.
The first sunrise of the year is a thing to behold, but the same could be said of the first sunset, correct?
What's wrong, (Captain)? Come closer.
Come join me in watching as the sky turns a deep, dark blue.

Ah, (Captain)... Happy New Year...
No, nothing major happened. It's just that for my first dream of the year...
Everyone was calling me Old Man Sparky...
From the kids in town to Mina, Mona, Mena, Vyrn, and you...
I know the new year's only just started, but I'm not that old yet, am I?
Huh, you'll let me cry on your shoulder? Er, thanks, but no thanks. You're too kind, (Captain)...

Alec

New Year's sure is great! Doesn't it get you excited?
It feels like no matter how bad anything was before, something great is definitely coming!
That's why I like it so much. So let's get crazy! Happy New Year!

Heya, (Captain)! I just can't wait to eat!
Eat what? That! That thing! That snack that's white and... squishy.
You know, the one everyone was eating last year!
Right, Mochi! Yeah! Those were so good. And they were fun to make together.
Well, what are we waiting for? I'll go get everyone in here.
You prep the cooking stuff!

(Captain), play with me!
We're gonna use rackets to swing this feathered ball.
I saw everyone else doin' it—figured I'd give it a shot too! I've got everything ready right here. C'mon, it'll be fun, (Captain)!
Hm? What am I doing wrong? Everyone else made it seem so easy...
Aw crud, you got me good! This is harder than it looks!
Sure was fun though, right? Hey, what's with that smirk, (Captain)?
Loser gets crayons all over their face? Hey, you're supposed to say that beforehand!
Ack, stop it! It tickles...
Humph, I bet you're doodling weird stuff all over my face!

(Captain)! Play with me again! Like last year!
But this time, nothing weird happens to the loser! Got it?
This year we battle with spinning tops! Here we go!
Gotcha! I win this one!
Haha! I win again!
...
Dang... There shoulda been a penalty for losing...

Aliza (Event)

Happy New Year!
I want to come flying out of the gate this year like you wouldn't believe!
Hm, I wonder how strong I'll be able to get by next year?
Of course, I'll gladly train with you, Captain!

A whole new year, a whole new me! Say, (Captain), what's your resolution for this year?
What? Haven't decided yet? Oh, come on, you've gotta have a New Year's resolution!
Me? To get stronger of course!
Huh? It's the same as every other year's?
S-so what!

Happy New Year! And full speed ahead to the south!
Hehe, I opened up a fortune cookie and it said to go south. That's why I'm gonna sprint south as far as I can.
You wanna join me, (Captain)?
Yay! Off we go then!
Hm? What's with all the clamor?
Ah! Over there, (Captain)! Look, they're holding a festival!
I had no idea a New Year's festival was being held so close to home! I guess I hit the jackpot in a way with that fortune cookie!
Hehe, I can already tell this is gonna be one fantastic year!

Happy New Year!
Huh? Are you still half-asleep?
Well, I guess it's still before sunrise, so it's a bit earlier than usual.
But we can't waste time like this! We gotta get started on our first practice of the year!
Come on! Let's run up to the top of that mountain. If we start now, we should be able to get there in time for the sunrise!
No problem! I know we can both do it!
Huh? You wanna race all the way to the top? Good idea!
All right, then let's do it.
Ready... Go!

Aliza (Water)

Happy New Year!

Almeida (Summer)

Happy New Year! This is my first time celebrating the new year from the skies! I just love the breeze up here.
It sure is cold, though. Valtz is warm all year round, so I never thought to buy a coat.
You won't find me using a hand warmer though; the Valtz in me won't allow it!
I sure could use a sweater though, Captain.

Yaaawn... So sleepy... Ah, happy New Year. Hoo boy, was last night a doozy.
We had a girls-only pajama party in Io's room. It was fun and all, but...
Halfway through, the conversation started to shift to me... Then they just kept firing questions at me left and right. Almost felt like an interrogation.
They asked me things... Things I wish they didn't...
Brrr! I think I need to go take a bath!

Happy, happy New Year!
Last year was full of so many ups and downs, but we're still kicking!
I'll put everything I have into making the perfect weapon this year too!
What about you, (Captain)? What are your plans?
If there's anything I can help you with, let me know!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Lookin' forward to another fun-filled year together!
So I overheard some people saying how the decisions you make today sets the tone for the rest of the year. That's when I had an "aha" moment.
I'm gonna pound the anvil with all I got today! That'll get me closer to forging the perfect weapon!
Ever seen sparks scatterin' like snowflakes on a New Year's day? Now that's different!
Hey, if you're not busy, why don't you come watch me work? Having a buddy around really gets my hammer going!

Amira (Promo)

Happy New Year!
Mmm! This tastes great! I love the new year!
Rackam! Katalina! I want more food! Gimme more meat!

...
I won't be drinking this year. Last year I got an earful for making too much noise.
So I'll be nice and quiet this year. You keep it down too, (Captain).
Food? I guess I'll have some... quietly.

Hap... Happy New Year.
We're only supposed to eat the new year food after wishing everyone a good year. So I came to wish you well.
Katalina! I wished everyone a good year! Can I eat now?
She said to bring you along! Hurry! I'm hungry!

Mmm, these New Year's dishes look so good. There's all kinds of different bites to try.
But each portion is tiny... I can't get full on just these.
Grrr...
Huh? I can have all of yours, (Captain)?
Yaay, thanks! This is awesome! So awesome!
Oh yeah, let's go for a walk in town after this, (Captain).
There'll be lots of food stands since it's New Year's.
I'll show you the yummy hot spots as thanks for your food. So keep giving me more when you can.

Andira (Event)

Hmm? What is it? Oh, it is New Year's already?
So what's going on? I'm still so sleepy... I was up late last night.
Well, I guess it's not so bad having this kinda day once a year.
I'm looking forward to this next year with you, Captain. Happy New Year. And good night.

Happy New Year, (Captain). Looks like another great year is ahead of us.
Hey... Why are you looking at me like that?
What? You want to make sure I'm gonna do it right this year?
Last year was just a coincidence! A sleep fairy put me to sleep!
Huh? You want to hear more about this sleep fairy? Well, I don't have to explain it to you!
Gulp... Anyway, as you can see, I'm doing just fine. You could even call me a shining example of how to stay awake!
Stop looking at me like that! I'm not even sleepy at all!
If you're so worried about me, you can keep standing there staring! I'm not going to sleep!

I challenge you to a New Year's badminton duel! I'll serve... Oh, the loser gets their face drawn on!
Yah!
Take that!
Whoa, too far...
Aw... I missed!
Alternating from left to right... That's no fair. How am I supposed to get there in time?
Fiiine, go ahead and draw on my face already.
Grr... If it's come to this, I'll just use my trusty staff as a paddle.
Take this! Haha, easy! Gotcha! Yah!
All right! I won, I won!
Hahaha! What do you mean, this isn't fair? I just leveled the playing field.
Hee-hee... Now what should I draw on you...

(Captain), do you know what day it is today? Right! It's New Years!
What's your New Year's resolution? How do you want to spend this year?
How about you tell me all about it? And then whenever you see my face, you'll be reminded of all you want to accomplish.
I'll always be by your side, so don't worry about me leaving!
My New Year's resolution is to always be with you, (Captain)!
Hehe... That'll make it so both of us accomplish our goals! Two birds, one stone!

Ange (Halloween)

Happy New Year!
What? There's a New Year's card for me? But who would... Oh Julian!
It's from Julian! Haha, looks like he's in good spirits.

Happy New Year!
I got my fortune just now. Do you know what it means?
Hmm "Outlook looks very good."
So it's saying I'll have good luck, right?
I see. That means I can look forward to the princess of my destiny!
You think I should wait for the right moment? Now what's that supposed to mean, (Captain)?

Happy New Year, (Captain)! It's going to be a good one.
New Year's is a time of festivities, a time when beautiful ladies dress in their best. Sadly there are also scoundrels with leery eyes.
Let's go, (Captain)! We have a duty to patrol the streets and protect innocent princesses from knaves!
And since we'd already be out for a walk, we can enjoy the sights and sounds of the new year!

Ah, yes, the dawn of another new year! Let us celebrate a new chapter in our lives together!
No, that's not quite right...
The new year begins only after I've celebrated this momentous occasion with you!
Hm, I'm not sure that gets the idea across...
(Captain)! Come with me to—
Ah, (Captain)! H-how long have you been standing there?
From the start? Oh no... I can't believe you saw me practicing...
Please forget everything you just saw and come with me for a New Year's shrine visit! Quickly now!

Anila (Event)

Heheh... When I think about spending the new year with all of you...
It's like I'm all filled up with warmth and happiness! This year will surely be special with you!

Now then, it seems we've made it to another new year!
You could say we were busy with all kinds of cleaning at end of the year to sweep in the new one!
Ahem... People come together with friends and family in order to welcome the new year.
In other words, creating joy and warmth with people you love invites a new spirit of good fortune for the new year.
But enough with the speeches...
Now let's celebrate, everyone! It's time to share a feast together!
Heheh... How is it? How is it? Isn't it delicious?

I made you some homemade dishes again this year, (Captain)! Just look! These are my best creations yet!
Heh-heh-heh! You look very pleased... I'd venture to say that you're captivated by this feast!
No need to rush though! Now, hand me a plate. I'll fill it up nice and neat for you, okay?
Some shrimp for your health and longevity, some golden mashed potatoes for wealth, and some herring roe—but not for lots of offspring! It's so our crew gets bigger and bigger!
Now, now, don't be shy! Eat until your heart's content!
When your tummy's nice and full, let's go see the festival at the shrine together!

Ah, I can start to see the altar from here. Looks like all this waiting in line will soon pay off!
By the way, are you familiar with the customs and practices to uphold when visiting a temple?
First, you make a light bow before entering the gate.
Then, once you've cleansed your mind and body with the temple's water, give your thanks before the altar and ring the bell.
Hehe! And that's all there is to it!
Ah, and let's not forget to go right home after the visit.
Wouldn't want to let that thankfulness go to waste—gotta bring all those thanks and blessings straight back home.
And, besides, you can taste some of my delicious New Year's cooking!
Hehe. Are you looking forward to it that much? Oh, you're adorable!
All right, it's our turn to go up! Hehe, what are you going to wish for?

Anna (SR)

Nightmare: Yo, Captain! You ready to party like there's no tomorrow?
Anna: (Captain)... Um, if you have some time for the New Year's party...
Huh, really? Yay! But wait... I, erm...
Not with everyone... But just you, me, and Nightmare...

(Captain)... My grandma always said that plans for the following year start on New Year's...
So I, umm, I...
I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy New Year!
I... I hope I get to travel with you this year too, (Captain)...
Ch-cheers...

Anna: H-h-happy New Year!
Um... I hope that was the best one you heard today?
Nightmare: Heck, you stayed up all night waitin' to say it! Course it was the best!
Anna: N-Nightmare... Erm, it's not a big deal...
I just wanted to be (Captain)'s best...
Because I want to be with (Captain) this year too!
That's my way of wishing for good luck...
I... I'll be here to give you the best New Year's wish next year too, so...
Here's to another good year!

Mmm... Zzz...
Mmm... (Captain)...
Huh!
(Captain)!
Uh, h-h-how come you're here, (Captain)...
Oh... That's right... I wanted to wish you a happy New Year's...
And I wanted to do it before anyone else, so I stayed up all night...
But I couldn't keep waiting, and I fell asleep...
Mmm... I wanted to be your first...
Huh? You came looking for me because I didn't show up?
Really? I can still be the first to send you New Year's wishes?
I, uh... That makes me so happy!
Thank you, (Captain)...
Um, happy New Year. Hope this year's a great one!

Arthur (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Have you come up with a New Year's resolution yet?
My resolution this year is to beat Mordred!
We're always competing with each other in all kinds of things, but it always ends up being even...
But not this year—this is the year I come out on top!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Even though the whole town seems to be taking it easy for New Year's Day, there's a certain excitement in the air.
It's a strange feeling.
But all the Dragon Knights can't take the same day off, even if it is New Year's.
We've gotta defend the peace and protect the King himself after all!
Can't slack off just 'cause it's a holiday!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Thanks so much for taking care of me last year! I'll try not to bother you as much this year!
Can I tell you what my resolution is? I'm gonna score higher than Mordred on our tests!
I stink at tests, so if can do better than him, I'll be the winner overall!
So basically what I'm saying is... Please help me study!

Huff, huff... (Captain)! Happy New Year!
I... accidentally slept in...
For some reason, Mordred decided to give up trying to wake me this morning!
I know I'm the one to blame since I'm so bad with mornings, but Mordred always comes to wake me up, so...
Sometimes I just need more time!
Ah, darn it! I gotta go!
Vice-Captain Vane said he's making some "cute little dishes" today for New Year's!
If I don't hurry, they're gonna eat everything before I get there! Come on, you should hurry too if you want some, (Captain)!

Arthur and Mordred

Mordred: Did you decide on your New Year's resolutions, (Captain)?
Arthur: Back at the orphanage, we'd all get together on New Year's Day and share our goals for the year.
Mordred: We always made a big occasion of it.
Arthur: My goal is to be the best at swordplay out of the Dragon Knights in our age group.
Mordred: Including me, huh?
Arthur: You betcha!
Mordred: Heh. Good luck.
Arthur: What about you?
Mordred: I wanna score a hit off Vane in a sparring match!
Arthur: Whoa! That's so cool!

Mordred: Happy New Year, (Captain).
Arthur: (Captain)...
Mumble... Snooze...
Mordred: Hey! Wake up! You're acting rude in front of (Captain)!
Arthur: Mwuh? Oh... Happy... New... Snore...
Mordred: Ugh. I guess I'll have to use a minty leaf as a last resort and force you awake!
Arthur: Haaaappy New Yeeeaaarrr!
Mordred: Sigh. You're finally up.
I'm sorry you had to see such a display of lethargy to kick off the new year. I look forward to another great year with you.
Arthur: Let's have a fun one this year!

Arthur: Hah!
Mordred: You're wide open! Take this!
Arthur: Ergh... Not so fast!
Mordred: Oh! Wait, Arthur!
Arthur: Nope! No time-outs!
Mordred: Listen to me! It's (Captain)...
Arthur: Huh? (Captain)?
Mordred: (Captain), Happy New Year.
Arthur: Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't notice you there!
Mordred: We were having our first spar of the year.
Arthur: The result of this match could affect things for the rest of the year...
Mordred: Well, that's kind of an exaggeration... We were definitely going all out though.
But now that you're here...
(Captain)! Have a spar with me!
Arthur: Hey! That's not fair, we're not done yet!
Mordred: Haha! (Captain) comes first!
I'm glad you came to find us so early in the new year! I'll be counting on you!
Arthur: Me too! I'm counting on you!

Arthur: Huff... Puff...
Y-you win, (Captain)...
Mordred: Huff... Puff...
We can't even beat you two on one...
Arthur: I thought I'd improved a little since you trained with us last year, but I guess not...
Mordred: Wonder what sets (Captain) so apart from us? Feels like there's more to it than just experience.
Arthur: Yeah, I get what you mean. Think it comes down to a difference in talent?
Mordred: That can't be all it is. You've got to factor in stuff like effort, commitment, and status too.
All right, here's the plan! Arthur—today we're gonna go all out hunting for the secret to (Captain)'s strength!
Arthur: Sounds good to me!
Okay, (Captain). I'm ready for another sparring match!

Arulumaya (Yukata)

It's the start of another year, (Captain). What are your resolutions this time around?
Hm? You want me to see if you'll complete them? Hehe, that's cheating, my dear.
Why, not knowing is half the fun. If you see the winner before the race starts, what would motivate you to run?
It's better to live in the present than worry about the future. Enjoy this year for all that it has in store for you. Believe me. You're going to like it.

Happy New Year, (Captain). That face you're making tells me you've made a resolution. And it looks like a good one.
Let me offer you some advice for the new year.
Whether you fulfill your resolution depends on your resolve. What's that? You wanted a fortune?
The future isn't so easily swayed. Which makes hard effort on your part indispensible.
That's what makes everything we do so important.
Remember these words well. They are far more important than any fortune.

This year may have its ups and downs... Ah, but I bet it will be a lively time, (Captain).
Oh, that wasn't a remark about your fortune. Just my own little prediction, you could say.
Many people will cross your path, and their intentions may be good or evil. It's all right if you end up influencing each other, but be careful not to be swept up by them.
And don't lose sight of what you wish to do... as well as what it is you must do.
Oh, listen to me going on and on! Lecturing you at the start of the year... Do forgive me!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's have another good year together.
This year you'll travel even further to new horizons, making even more connections along the way.
A lot may happen, including times of strife and trouble... Let all of it become your wisdom. The important thing is to enjoy the journey.
Hehe, a vision? Not quite. More of a gut feeling.
The steps you'll take today will surely lead to a brighter tomorrow.

Arusha

Hmm... What to do... This one looks interesting too...
Oh my! (Captain)? Ahem... Happy New Year!
What am I up to? As a matter of fact, I'm trying to decide on my first book of the new year.
I thought I'd start with something I hadn't read before...
But now I'm thinking it might be better to start things off with an old favorite.
It feels like the first book's going to set the tone for the rest of the year, so...
I just can't decide... Oh! Maybe I should have you decide for me, (Captain)!

Look, (Captain)! A black cat!
Some say it's an unlucky omen, but no... I don't think that's right!
Since black cats can see clearly even in the shadow of night, they can look out for monsters and are even treated as symbols of fortune in some places!
Of course, every island is different, but you'd be surprised at how many of them welcome black cats as auspicious creatures!
I mean, cats are supposed to be lucky animals anyways, so... Ah... Achoo!
Oh, it's coming this way... Achoo!
It's so... c-cute, but... Aaah... choo!
Kerchoo! Achoo... Haaachoo!

Mmph... Why is this so tough... I should be able to handle thirty books on my own...
Huh? Why'd they get so light—
Oh, (Captain)! Thank you for helping me!
I've been airing out the old backlog all day.
Little bugs get into the books, so I've been exterminating them by exposing the pages to dry air.
Ever since I was a little girl, it's always been our custom to get the archives in order during the new year.
If I don't get everything sorted, I just don't feel like I can start my year off right.
Huh? You'll help me carry the rest of the books into the next room?
Oh, oh, that would be a big help!
Thank you so much! That's a load off my shoulders.

Coo... coo... Mmm-mm?
Ahh, (Captain)? Mmm?
Ahh! (Captain)! Sorry! I think I nodded off!
Every year I do a bit of New Year's cleaning, but this time the sun felt so warm.
Yes, I should be more careful, shouldn't I? I could catch a cold sleeping out here.
Even worse, my books could've been blown away by the wind! I'll be more vigilant from now on.
Huh? This drink will help me warm up? Don't mind if I do!
Thank you, (Captain). Oh, and also... Happy New Year!

Aster (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
My resolution is to be more helpful to you!

I want to wish you a very happy New Year, (Captain)!
My goal this year is to be a useful member of the crew!
Ehehe. If I make this promise with you, (Captain), then I'll definitely be able to do it.
I'm going to work real hard not to embarrass myself in front of you!
Please watch over me, (Captain)!

Looks like New Year's fortunes are being given out, (Captain)!
I want to pull for my fortune too! Can I?
Heehee, thanks!
Okay, here I go!
What's it say, what's it say?
B-bad luck?
Aw... That's too bad, but divine will is divine will.
You think the rest of what's written in the fortune is more important?
Hm, hm... You're right! There's a lot of valuable advice from the heavens written here!
Yes, I should take every piece of advice to heart. I'm going to do my best this year!
Please look forward to it, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Metera told me she would let me play pin the arrow on the Sutera this year!
But I better blindfold myself and practice first!
Would you mind helping me? You will? Thank you!
Okay... Here's the handkerchief! Make sure I can't see anything!

Augusta

Happy New Year!
Ah, (Captain). I think I had a little too much yesterday.
It was a shock to see Lyria eat so much though.
I didn't think she could fit so much in her stomach.
Lyria's really something, huh? Maybe she's not from this world? Ahaha, sorry! Must be the food talking.

Ah, home sweet home... Thanks for accompanying me back to my hometown, (Captain).
So how do you like our parties here? I hope you're enjoying yourself.
You're impressed with how we go all-out? Ahahaha! I guess it can seem like that if you're not used to it.
But for me, the livelier, the better. I might be conservative elsewhere, but that's because I prefer to rock out at parties like these.
You up for a tango with me, (Captain)? Because now's your chance!

Happy New Year! I was just about to put my resolution on paper.
My goal's to take on all kinds of challenges and make this year a fun one!
(Captain), why don't you write your resolution down too? No need to be embarrassed—it's all about doing what feels right in the moment.
Even one resolution will make you excited to take on another year. Go ahead—be brave and dash one off!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Yawn... I'm still reeling from all those drinks last night...
Since we have the day off, I'm just going to kick back and relax.
You were up pretty late last night too, (Captain). If you're still feeling pooped out, maybe we can spend a lazy day together.
Haha, there's more than one way to spend a New Year's!
"Work hard, play hard" as they say, and this is my way of playing hard!

Ayer (Summer)

What's with all the festive nonsense? Like I care about the new year. It's just another day if you ask me.
Plus I hear other skydoms have different ideas of when New Year's is, and even the meaning changes depending on the custom. What's the point of celebrating this?
Huh? Yeah, I read it in a book a long time ago. Don't you dare call me a bookworm!

Yawn... Man, I'm so tired. Hey, Captain, your crew's freaking weird.
Making a racket from sundown on Near Year's Eve until sunrise on New Year's day. What's all the fuss about?
They even invited me to go make mochi. Like you'll ever catch me doing something so damn tepid again.
Huh? Y-yeah, I did it once. So what? If you don't make New Year's mochi, you can't enjoy New Year's adzuki porridge, right?
Hey! I didn't do it so I could stuff my face! I did it for all these brats we got running around on the airship!

Damn it. Are you kidding me with this... Listen, (Captain), I need you to talk with my sister.
Tell her she and I aren't that far apart age-wise, so stop giving me a New Year's gift.
When is she gonna stop treating me like a ki—hey. What's that in your hand?
You got a New Year's gift from Sis too? Where's your pride as the captain?

Yawn... Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Happy New Year?
Right, it's today... Not that it matters...
New Year's resolution?
I don't wait until January 1st to think about that stuff.
You keep resolutions near your heart. Always.
What? I'm not a nerd! I stick to my goals. That's all.
Just you wait... This year, I'm going to wipe that smirk off your face.

Baotorda

I wish you a happy New Year.
Your future is the sum of each year's experiences. I hope this year bears fruit for you as well.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Nothing can replace the time I've spent on the crew.
I hope that I too will be of some worth to your future...

Happy New Year. I actually bought some eggnog, so would you care for a glass, (Captain)?
It's loaded with nutrients and believed to be effective for recovering from exhaustion.
After such an exciting year, I think it's just the drink for you, (Captain).
I say we partake to kick off the new year. May the coming year bring further health and prosperity.

Pant, pant...
Phew... Oh, if it isn't (Captain).
Happy New Year. Did you come to watch the first sunrise?
I was taking my first sprint of the new year. Did I surprise you?
Running with all of my might along these mountain roads allows me to reflect upon the things I should do in the upcoming year.
I believe I'll take another lap. Would you like to join me, (Captain)?

Barawa (Event)

Hmm? So it's New Year's Day, is it? I guess I had a little too much fun last night with Eugen and the boys. Hah hah hah.
Well, I better get to work. Hah hah. Call it tradition, but I always find myself cleaning my tools the morning after a long New Year's Eve.

Yawn... Ah, sorry, Captain. Happy New Year!
Should we get on with the big annual cleanup? I'll work on the pipes.
I worked on the pipes last year too? Well, I figure a big guy like me should really get in there and give 'em a good scrubbing, you know?

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hm? Why the puzzled look, (Captain)? Surprised to see me so energetic for the new year?
To tell the truth, I've been waking up and going to bed early to go along with my weight training! Ha-ha-ha!
The key to building muscle is a balanced diet, a good night's rest, and a sweaty workout routine.
Thanks to that, I'm as healthy as a horse no matter how many colds I catch! So you can count on me all year round this year, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Let's get on it already! Got to go to a shrine for the start of the new year. I've resolved to solve all the mysteries that come my way!
Hm? Why am I so chipper you ask?
Well actually I've been able to keep my New Year's resolution of sleeping and rising early each day!
Because of that, I always have time to clean my pipe bright and early!
Time to wash up and get ready for a new day, (Captain)!
This year sure is looking up! Hahahaha!

Beatrix (Halloween)

Happy New Year!
Woo! Let the primal beast hunt begin!
We'll take 'em down, one by one, and the Society will have to recognize me! Recognize my skill! Recognize my existence!
That's what I'd be saying if I hadn't met you first, (Captain). I was rash and impatient.
From now on I'm going to take it nice and slow. Together with you.
Right, (Captain)? You and I are partners for another year! Heheh...

Heheh! I get to spend another year with my favorite captain! I know you can barely contain your joy!
Who could resist smiling when I'm around? Huh? You... disagree?
Oh... I see...
That was a joke? So you are having fun, right? Don't lie!
Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who—ack! It's nothing!
Um, can you not tease me this early into the new year? How inconsiderate!

All right, (Captain), let's go to the shrines!
Heheh. I'm gonna wish for a year's worth of blessings for everyone!
But you know, it doesn't feel like something I would've wished for before.
Guess I've changed a little, huh?
Ahaha! It's all your fault, (Captain)!
You should take responsibility with another fun year to spend together.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
A lot of stuff happened this year...
Stuff so fun and so dangerous that there's no forgetting it...
...
I just... don't want to lose the things that I care about the most.
So this year I'm going to be stronger than ever! Just watch me!
That way you and I can be sure to stay together forever... Hehehe...
Let's make this year a good one, (Captain)!

Blazing Teacher Elmott

You want to stay up past your bedtime tonight?
Fat chance! Run off to bed, kid. And pull the covers tight. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Yo, gimme your hand. Huh? Don't be a baby about it.
You did well to survive for another year. You're more resourceful than I give you credit for.
Now don't go getting hurt this year either.

Happy New...
Well, someone looks tired. Guess you stayed up to watch the sunrise last night.
Maybe it's 'cause the air's so clear up here, but that was one beautiful fireball.
Heh heh heh. Man, I hope one day my flames can be as pretty as that.

Hyahaha! They're swelling up nice and big!
Hey, relax. I'll be done roasting these in a jiffy.
Wash your hands, get some drinks ready, and wait for Blazing Elmott to serve 'em up!
You and the rest of the crew had a heck of a time beating the mochi, and now it's my turn to scorch the little munchies to a perfect texture.
Whoa, hands off. Wouldn't wanna burn yourself now.

Bridgette and Cordelia

Cordelia: Here I come, Bridgette!
Haah!
Bridgette: Impressive, dearest Cordelia! Now it's my turn!
Yaaah!
Cordelia: You're not bad yourself, Bridgette!
Hm?
Bridgette: Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Cordelia: (Captain), happy New Year.
Bridgette: What's that? You didn't want to interrupt us? Well, it's true we were pretty absorbed in our training...
Cordelia: The start of a new year can be invigorating. In a way, it's the perfect time for a bit of sparring.
Bridgette: (Captain), why don't you join us for a match!

Cordelia: Happy New Year. It's a pleasure for Bridgette and I to welcome in the new year with you.
Bridgette: We're glad to be in the crew!
Of course, we can't rest on our laurels just because it's New Years. The training never stops!
I'm going to keep pushing myself hard, and maybe one day I'll be as strong as Cordelia!
Cordelia: Haha, seeing Bridgette's progress reminds me that I have to keep in shape too.
Would you care to train with us, (Captain)? We'd get a lot more done if there's three of us.
Bridgette: I hope you'll come along too! It'll be worth it!

Bridgette: The New Year's festival is such a blast! I'm so happy to be here!
Cordelia: It's a good thing I finished up my training in the morning. It lets me focus on just enjoying myself.
Bridgette: From sweet wines to yakisoba to cotton candy—they have it all! I'll go buy some!
Cordelia: Wait, Bridgette! I'll come with you—
And off she goes. She's always been the type to just forge ahead once she's made up her mind.
No matter how dire the circumstances, Bridgette never loses hope and keeps trudging on. That attitude has instilled me with bravery as well.
I suppose I could say the same of you, (Captain). I have nothing but respect for your extraordinary heroism.
Bridgette: I got us some sweet wine! What were you two talking about?
Cordelia: Haha, it's nothing. Thanks for the drinks, Bridgette.
Bridgette: Drink up, and you're bound to have another great year! I'm certain of it!

Bridgette: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Cordelia: We really went all out with the cleaning yesterday. That makes the celebration all the more refreshing.
Admittedly, I lack much of the know-how that is needed for an effective cleaning. Bridgette is incredibly good at it though. She gave me a lot of good pointers!
Bridgette: I may have given you some pointers, but I think we can attribute this beautiful sheen to your spectacular muscle power, dear Cordelia.
Cleaning at this rate really requires you to give it your all, right up until the very end!
Cordelia: You're right, and that's a fine attitude to bring to any task, no matter how mundane it may be.
I know that I'm going to have another great year ahead, and it's all thanks to you, Bridgette.
Bridgette: And with you by my side dear Cordelia, I know that I will have an amazing year as well.

Cagliostro (Event)

Happy New Year!
I heard it's common to wear a really cute and strange outfit today. I'd love to wear one too...

Hey, (Captain)! Let's go to a shrine for New Year's!
Huh? What's with that surprised look on your face?
You're being asked out by the cutest girl in the universe, so show some excitement!
Visiting a shrine at the start of the year is a time-honored tradition.
Grumble another word, and I'll wrap you up with Ouroboros... and then drag you there whether you like it or not. Teehee.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I was thinking... Between festive clothing and a shrine maiden outfit, which would you choose?
Hey, don't give me that funny look... It's gotta be one or the other with New Year's, right?
Of course, I'm sure I'd look ravishing in either one...
I just thought I'd pick your brain on the matter.
So what'll it be, (Captain)?
Make me happy with your answer, and I'll make sure you end the day on a really high note!
Your call.

Yawn... So tired...
Hm? These past few days, my experiments are getting more interesting. I will increase my cuteness even m—
What? New Year's Eve? New Year's Day?
Oh!
And visiting a temple!
(Captain)! Let's go out now!
Yawn... Wait...
Never mind. I'm sleepy. I think I'll just snooze through the festivities this year.
(Captain), lay down. Spend some time just catching up on your sleep. It's not so bad...
Snore...

Cailana (SR)

Oh, you're coming too, (Captain)? I'm gonna celebrate by carving some new year waves as the sun rises!
That's the only way to really experience the new year, I say! Let's go!

Happy New Year! I just got back from my first ride of the year! It was the beeest!
Phew. I gotta say, though... I'm beat.
Yawn... I'm gettin' kinda sleepy, actually. Maybe I'll go straight to bed after this...
Say, (Captain), do you want to take a nap together? I get lonely sleeping alone...
Fwaaah... Okay! Then let's hit the hay!

(Captain), wanna go to a shrine for the first time this year?
Come on. I'll go with you!
Huh? Why am I wet?
Duh! Because I was out surfing for the first time this year!
Whew! This is the best way to start a new year!
Oh! Now I need to take the first shower of the new year too! I'll be right back!

This year's gonna be great if I'm already riding such killer waves... Mm... Zzz...
Huh? What! Where did the big wave go! And my ocean!
Oh, good morning, (Captain)! But wait! Wasn't I just surfing a second ago?
Huh? A dream? Really?
Hmph, so what if it was a dream! They say the first dream of the year always comes true, so that just means I get to look forward to the future!
Shoot! I almost forgot!
Happy New Year, (Captain)! We're gonna catch every single wave there is to ride this year!

Cain

I've gotta say, when the year flips over so does my mood!
But it's not like I want to go out of my way to make some impossible resolution.
I think it's important to build on and continue the stuff you've already got going for you.
Making new goals is great, but you've got to appreciate the stuff you've already accomplished, you know?
So this year let's just take things as they come and relax a little more!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Even though today's really just like any other day, it comeshow feels refreshing to know that it's a new year.
Some might feel pressed into changing something about themselves, but I don't see much of a need for that.
At the very least, today's a good day to reflect on the path you've treaded up to this point.
Looking back every now and then helps you ensure that you're headed where you really want to go in life.

Good morning, (Captain). You're quite the early bird today.
Oh, and happy New Year. I hope this one treats you well.
Can you believe it's already been a year? Here's to more joy and prosperity!
Yeah, prosperity... We've come a long way from living in the shadows of the past.
When all you can think about is what happened yesterday, it really opens your eyes.
It's good to work toward the future, but we shouldn't be quick to forget about the important things in our past.
I'm sure there are things that you can't allow yourself to forget, (Captain).
It's not a bad idea to face your past, especially at milestones such as today.

Hrnnngh! Whew...
The first morning of the year sure feels nice. Wouldn't you say, (Captain)?
...
Hey, I was thinking... Would you like to have a spar with me?
Sorry, that was kind of sudden, wasn't it... I just thought it's about time for me to start moving forward.
It's not like everything has to change just because it's a new year.
But I believe that some things have to change in order for other things to remain the same.
But the question is, what are those things? I was hoping you could help me find the answer to that.
You'll do it?
Thanks so much, (Captain)! Then let's get started!

Camieux (Summer)

Happy New Year! I wonder if everyone in the crew and at the shop have made their resolutions yet.
Did you know? My resolution this year is to be less timid!

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to another great year with you!
This year I really want to get over feeling scared. Also, I want to do something about my short temper...
I mean, I can't always ask you to step in and save me, (Captain)!
I'll do better this year, I promise! Just you watch, (Captain)!

Happy New Year to you, (Captain)! Let's make this year another great one!
This year I'll get over feeling scared and having a short temper, I'm going to make a wish at sunrise on New Year's Day.
It's only happening little by little each year... But I'm getting better... I think...
I'm much better than before, you say? It sure makes me feel good to hear you say that!
It might only be a little this year too, but I'm gonna do my best to keep going forward!

I've gotta try harder...
Eeeek! C-c-captain! Why'd you sneak up on me like that!
Oh no... I got scared again...
I guess I just don't have what Silva does...
It's just... Silva began the year with training.
People like Silva, strong people, are never satisfied with themselves. They just keep working at it...
I wanna be like that. So I've gotta put way, way more effort in.
I'm already not very useful, so if I don't try harder I'm just going to become useless.
I'm going to be even better than last year!
You just watch, (Captain)!

Carmelina (SR)

Happy New Year! I want to knock the socks off even more people this year!
So how are we going to pull in the first client of the year? Heh heh heh!

Thank you, (Captain), for sticking with me over the year.
The crew's grown since we first met, and I couldn't be luckier.
Everyone who has joined this crew is skilled in their own way.
I bet if everyone focused on learning the arts, they'd quickly find themselves becoming entertainers of the court! Ahaha!

Phew, am I beat! I put on lots of great shows today.
Of course I'm working on New Year's! When people are on vacation, all the performers come out to strut their stuff.
The shows we do are extra extravagant and full of tradition since so many people have come out to watch.
What's my most impressive trick? Hmm... Maybe when I go through a gauntlet of firecrackers?
I think I've showed you them before. You know, the ones that go pop-pop-pop!
Or are you saying you wanna try running through them with me? Pop! Haha...

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hey! Hey, (Captain)! Do you wanna go to a New Year's festival with me?
The festivities around here are amazing! The sky lights up with fireworks, and all sortsa street performers do their stuff!
When you see it, I know you're gonna wanna put on your own show!
So let's go check it out, okay?

Carren (Event)

Haaappy New Year!
What's my resolution? Hmm... To be a better acting captain!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let the New Year's monster hunting begin! I'm gonna kick some butt!
Don't look at me like that. Where's your sense of adventure?
An adventurer is not made in a day! They must explore, explore, and explore some more! There's no rest for the strong!
Do you feel me? Good! Let's get this year's aventure started!
Follow me, everyone, the stand-in captain!

What do I have planned for today? Let's see... All the missions are done, so pig out and be lazy I guess.
Maybe I'll take a walk at around sunset and find someplace high up to watch the town aglow.
Most people should be at home by then. All those lights make for an epic view.
Hehe, you wanna come with? Sure! Then let's meet in the lobby of the inn after dinner!

Captain! Are you free today?
I heard they were having a festival at a local shrine. Would you like to go check it out with me?
There might be something we can only see if we go! Let's not pass the opportunity up!
Oh? You wanna invite some of the others?
Okay. It'll be more fun that way. I'm liking the start of this new year!
I'm all pumped for whatever may come!

Carren

Haaappy New Year!

Cassius (Event)

Happy New Year.
That is what I hear everyone saying, but why?
Ah, so it is a greeting that welcomes in a new year. Does that alone warrant attention? What significance is there to the start of a new year?
Hmm... I see. The cause for celebration is all the obstacles you and your comrades overcame during that time frame.
Some things cannot be accomplished alone, thus there are situations that necessitate cooperation from friends. Sound reasoning.
Happy New Year, (Captain). I will remember to use this greeting again next year. Please do not die before then.

If I remember correctly, it is customary to prepare traditional dishes to be consumed on New Year's Day.
Black soy beans for warding off evil, herring roe to bring prosperity to one's offspring, mashed sweet potatoes to boost financial fortunes...
The fact that each dish comes with its own meaning is most fascinating.
Although I am still extremely skeptical that eating food will somehow bring wishes to fruition...
But I suppose regularly setting one's expectations is what makes a fossildweller a fossildweller.
Living is all about the experiences. I think I shall try a few of those New Year's dishes.

(Captain). Tell me, what is the purpose of this line? I am unable to see where it starts even after turning five corners. Could this be a line for ramen?
A line for praying at the shrine? What is this shrine that you speak of? What kind of food is praying?
Hm. You mean to tell me that all of these people are here to offer their gratitude for the past year, and to make new wishes at a structure called a shrine.
I do not understand. I cannot think of any merits in speaking to an architectural structure.
But from my experience here in the world of fossildwellers, there must be something extraordinary waiting at the front of this line.
The end's that way. Let's get in line, (Captain).

(Captain), I have caught wind of a dangerous weapon that only appears in the Sky Realm during the start of a new year.
According to the rumors, the weapon is white with viscoelastic properties that allow it to stretch—
Ah. Yes. Similar to the white substance you're holding right now.
You claim what you're holding is the weapon?
I think not. Even I recognize the foodstuff known as mochi.
"It's easy to choke on mochi because of its consistency"?
I have no words to describe how illogical it is for skydwellers to intentionally put their own lives at risk.
No... Perhaps such risk-taking is responsible for the evolution of modern-day cuisine... Hmm, deeply fascinating.
If so, then I shall salute those pioneering forebearers while indulging in mochi.
(Captain), where is the red bean paste? Preferably the unmashed kind.

Cassius (Yukata)

Happy New Year.
That is what I hear everyone saying, but why?
Ah, so it is a greeting that welcomes in a new year. Does that alone warrant attention? What significance is there to the start of a new year?
Hmm... I see. The cause for celebration is all the obstacles you and your comrades overcame during that time frame.
Some things cannot be accomplished alone, thus there are situations that necessitate cooperation from friends. Sound reasoning.
Happy New Year, (Captain). I will remember to use this greeting again next year. Please do not die before then.

If I remember correctly, it is customary to prepare traditional dishes to be consumed on New Year's Day.
Black soy beans for warding off evil, herring roe to bring prosperity to one's offspring, mashed sweet potatoes to boost financial fortunes...
The fact that each dish comes with its own meaning is most fascinating.
Although I am still extremely skeptical that eating food will somehow bring wishes to fruition...
But I suppose regularly setting one's expectations is what makes a fossildweller a fossildweller.
Living is all about the experiences. I think I shall try a few of those New Year's dishes.

(Captain). Tell me, what is the purpose of this line? I am unable to see where it starts even after turning five corners. Could this be a line for ramen?
A line for praying at the shrine? What is this shrine that you speak of? What kind of food is praying?
Hm. You mean to tell me that all of these people are here to offer their gratitude for the past year, and to make new wishes at a structure called a shrine.
I do not understand. I cannot think of any merits in speaking to an architectural structure.
But from my experience here in the world of fossildwellers, there must be something extraordinary waiting at the front of this line.
The end's that way. Let's get in line, (Captain).

(Captain), I have caught wind of a dangerous weapon that only appears in the Sky Realm during the start of a new year.
According to the rumors, the weapon is white with viscoelastic properties that allow it to stretch—
Ah. Yes. Similar to the white substance you're holding right now.
You claim what you're holding is the weapon?
I think not. Even I recognize the foodstuff known as mochi.
"It's easy to choke on mochi because of its consistency"?
I have no words to describe how illogical it is for skydwellers to intentionally put their own lives at risk.
No... Perhaps such risk-taking is responsible for the evolution of modern-day cuisine... Hmm, deeply fascinating.

Catherine (SR)

Happy New Year.
So, are you going to help me again this year? Not like I'm not going to let you out of my sight anyway.
I mean, you know my real name. I can't just let you run away.
So let's stick together. Hehe. We'll be together again this year, and that's a promise. If you break it, I'll turn you to smoke.

You promised... to watch out for me. And I've been so happy ever since.
Which is good, because I'd hate to have to turn you into smoke.
I hope we can be together again this year. That's not a threat... That's my desire.
Hehe.

We've been through yet another year together.
The promise we made two years ago... Are you keeping it? Good.
You know, being together with you is starting to feel as natural as keeping my treasured pendant close.
I guess that means I treasure you too, right? Hehe...
I never let go of treasure once it's in my hands. You understand what I mean, right?
Hehe. Here's to another exciting year, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I don't shake you down or force you to make promises anymore.
But here you are right by my side to ring in another new year.
Your sense of duty is something else.
Haha, no, I understand. You didn't come to see me today out of obligation.
I don't mind being your treasure though... Is that too on the nose?

Cecile

I try to make time for my mom this time of the year.
But she always tells me not to bother if I'm busy with the orchestra.
I have friends all around me, so I'm all right. But my mom lives all alone in that house. I'm always worried she might be feeling lonely.
Hm? You think we should all go visit her together next time?
Thank you. My mom's the single most important thing to me in the world, and that would make her so happy!

(Captain), did you want to come outside for some fresh air? I guess the banquet hall was getting kind of hot and crowded.
The crew members on this ship sure are loud. It was the same whenever we had parties with the orchestra, but we definitely couldn't hold a candle to this racket.
Sigh...
Hahaha... It's strange.
Everyone's eating, drinking, and being merry... But maybe I like this kind of fuss.
You too, right, (Captain)? We have more in common than I thought. Crazy, huh?
Well, I feel better now. Let's get back inside.
Huh? You'd rather stay outside and talk more?
Fiiine. We'll talk until you're ready to brave the banquet again. But it's your turn to talk!

A sprightly tune played on the trumpet beckons from outside the captain's quarters. (Captain) pushes open the door to investigate.
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year.
This song? It came to me in my first dream of the new year.
I'd never heard it before, but it's pretty catchy, don't you think? You do, don't you?
In my dream, I was playing a duet with someone I don't think I'd ever met, yet somehow we played in perfect harmony.
I feel like it was a sign that this year the musical world is just going to burst into full bloom for me.
Well, whatever the year has in store, I'll face it head-on and conquer it with style.
Why don't you set yourself a new challenge too?

If there's one constant to this place, it's the cold weather. I'm used to it, but how are you holding up, (Captain)?
I told you to expect this since you wanted to visit my home for New Year's and meet my mom.
Don't get me wrong. I'm ecstatic you came with me. I told you before how important she is to me.
I should pick up something for her. Can I stop in that shop real quick?
Guess that's the whole shebang... Oh, hey, how 'bout these?
These fancy li'l cakes are molded to look like animals and stuff! Loved these sweeties when I was a kid—
(Crap! Slipped into old habits now that I'm back home...)
Ahem. I'm going to go pay now. I won't be long.

Ceylan (Event)

Happy New Year!
Did you know, (Captain), that certain lands welcome the New Year by watching high-speed miniature airships explode in the sky...
They call it "fireworks". Fascinating, isn't it?

Happy New Year!
(Captain), have you ever heard of divination through the first dream of the year?
In certain regions it's said that what we see in the dream determines our fate for the rest of the year.
I'll look into ways to ensure you'll have a favorable dream, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm so glad I can spend New Year's Day with you. I have a feeling this year is going to be a great one.
By the way, (Captain), do you know what a lion dance is?
In some lands it's a dance done to celebrate the new year and auspicious occasions.
I've never seen one up close before, but somehow I find lions dancing a somewhat frightful thought.
If we have a chance though, I'd love to watch one with you! It'd be a great experience to find out more about other cultures!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I'm excited at the prospect of a fresh new year with you.
I hope we'll get to greet every new year together from now on.
By the way, (Captain), have you ever tried amazake?
Apparently drinking this beverage around the new year is considered good luck in some regions...
Oh, but although the name sounds a bit like sake, I hear it isn't an intoxicant.
What a mysterious beverage. I hope I'll have the chance to sample it one year.
If we find some, we'll have to drink a toast, (Captain)!

Charlotta (Event)

Happy New Year!
This is going to be another great year—forever pure, forever righteous!

Happy New Year, Captain (Captain).
My goal this year is the same as last year's: to live every day forever pure, forever righteous!
I believe it's good to change one's resolution from year to year, of course.
However. I believe some things only come into view after dedicating yourself to the same goal, year after year.
I hope to dedicate myself to improving our teamwork this year, Captain (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Hm? Where are you off to?
A New Year's festival, you say? Well, I think I might tag along then!
Trouble's known to follow a crowd, after all.
We wouldn't want the new year to start off with any unfortunate incidents, now would we?
I'll be there to ensure everyone stays safe. Here's to another year—forever pure, forever righteous!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It looks cold out. I'm from a snow country and thus am accustomed to such weather.
These frostbitten winds remind me of home.
While it does snow all year round, the New Year's snow is particularly special. Every family works together to remove it from the front of their houses.
Huh? You'd like to see my home for yourself?
I would be delighted to show you. And I will be your guide!
Hehe... Someday we'll go together.

Charlotta (Summer)

Chloe (Summer)

This year's been awesome! Still no boyfriend, though, lol.
I'm with you guys right now after all.
Part of me wants to go back to the village to see my mom and everyone else.
But maybe I should work on getting stronger first.
Like, I've gotta get strong enough to protect everyone. Strong like you, Captain!
So yeah, happy New Year! Whoooo!

Ah, (Captain)! HNY!
The shrine's a-waitin' for us!
We totally need to find out which one of us has the better luck this year!
Either way I just know my luck's been on the up and up ever since joining you, (Captain)! ☆

Everyone's got some kind of New Year's whatchamacallit, but what about you, (Captain)? (・∀・)
Me? I want a sweetie-pie for myself! (`・ω・´)
Oh yeah, I wanna get stronger too. But I've had that goal, like, foreverz now.
I'm all for the lovey-dovey stuff. Can't go through life alone, ya know? Getting hitched is kinda like my end goal. lol
(Captain), Lyrina, Vyrnathan, and everyone else in the crew...
I've made so many besties lately. I just gotta keep this up, and I'll nab myself a sweetie-pie in no time! Like, lol. (´∀`)
(Captain)! Wish me good luck in finding that Hottie McHotterson sooner than later, won't you? (ゝω・)ゞ"

Whoo, first sighting of (Captain) in the new year! HNY and all that jazz! Teehee!
I heard everyone's gonna be playing New Year's games. Wanna hang out with me if I go, (Captain)?
Celebrating tradition's kinda like my jam. I mean, you get to raise the roof while you're at it.
There's also the shrine visit, the mochi-munching, and, like, so much more. lolz
Getting to chill with your BFFs is one surefire way to start an awesome new year, don't you think, (Captain)? (~‾▿‾)~

Claudia

A new year has begun, hasn't it?
I have prepared special stationery for you to write your resolutions on. Please use them as you like.

Happy New Year. You mustn't laze about on the first day of a new year.
The year is young. Why not make a goal or two that you wish to achieve?
Me? I will continue to perform my duties diligently, just as I always have.

Happy New Year. As always, please allow me to take care of the menial duties. Now if you'll excuse me.
Yes? Why am I in such a hurry?
Because there's much cleaning to be done. There's dust built up everywhere and trash bags piled high. I absolutely cannot abide by that.
I must go, (Captain).

Happy New Year to you. It's always very easy to end up slacking around this time of year, so we must remind ourselves to be proactive.
I'm about to launch into the first cleaning of the year. Would you kindly assist me?
In order to enjoy the refreshment of a new beginning, the space around you needs a refreshing scrub.
We're at a critical junction here. It's not too much to ask that our captain practice good habits of cleanliness.
And you'll also be able to shake off that winter rust. A two-for-one isn't a bad deal.
Now on your feet please!
I'll polish the floors while you get the windows.

Cucouroux

Happy New Year! Why are your ears beet red? Did you go out in the cold to watch the sunrise?
Wow, they're freezing! Let ol' Cucouroux here warm 'em up for you, okay?
It's bad luck to catch a cold on the first day of the new year, y'know!
Hm? You're cold all over? What to do... What to do...
How about this, then? Huuuug!

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to another year with you, (Captain).
Huh? What's my resolution this year? Hmm...
I want to do my best as a crew member and have fun with everyone. Yeah!
I can hope and wish for fun, but first I need to make sure I'm the best that I can be.
(Captain), whenever I see you frown, I'll be there to turn it all the way upside down!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Are you cold? Your face is so red. Have you been on deck this whole time?
You can't go catching a cold just as the new year begins!
I'm making my mother's secret soup right now, so I'll give you some to warm up!
Why am I making soup? I was thinking of having Silva drink it when she gets back to warm up.
Silva thinks that beginning the year on the right foot is critical to having the rest of the year be just as fruitful, so she went out to practice.
It's pretty cold out which means she should come back before nightfall, but...
Knowing Silva, she might say that harsher environments produce better training results and not come back no matter how dark it gets...
She is a professional though... I want to believe she knows her limits and will come back at a reasonable hour...
It's Silva after all... For the most part she's always got everything together, but she does do silly things sometimes...
I've just gotta be here to support her no matter what she chooses to do!
And the same goes for you, (Captain)! I'll always have your back, okay?

Happy New Year! You came at a good time! Sit down!
Hehe! These cushions are really soft, right? I specifically picked them out!
We've also got some hot tea, sweet snacks and a fluffy blanket.
I prepped the perfect kit for a bit of New Year's relaxation, so let's kick back and relax!
Why did I do all this? Well, that's because you're always busy and never take it easy.
You're going to keel over if you don't take a day off sometimes. Trust me, I've got plenty of experience with this since Silva's the same way.
That's why we're going to take the day off and relax to the max!
If there aren't enough cushions then how about using my lap? I'll clean your ears too while we're at it!

Daetta (SR)

Holy cow, look at all this New Year's food! Mm, so many nice treats!
Ooh, look at the cake shaped like an iron ball!
What's with that look on your face? The adorable iron ball shape makes me want to pig out!

Zzz...
(Captain)... Happy... New... Yawn...
Ehehe... It feels so warm in here...
Food? But I don't want to leave yet!
I guess I'll just have to... grab this tiger by the tail! Rawr!
Ehehe, caught you! Now to lay together under the darkness of the blanket!
Zzz...

I need to take a bull by the horns for a new challenge this year!
It shouldn't be a rat race; it ought to be something that only I can do...
The one and only thing catered to my strengths...
Urgh, my head hurts just thinking about it.
I know! I'll spend the year mulling over it! No one else would spend an entire year coming up with a resolution—except your one and only Daetta!

Happy New Year! (Captain), let's hop over to a temple now.
The two of us can wish for something there. It's sure to come true.
What sort of wish? Well, that's errr... I can't say.
Let me tell you something, though, (Captain)!I wanna make friends. A hundred, two hundred... Maybe more!
The more friends we make, the more fun our trip though the sky will be... right?
Huh... you mean you'll lend me a paw, (Captain)?
Teehee, I think my wish is going to be become reality before I ever make it.

Dante (SR)

Happy New Year.
Have you seen a... hand warmer? They're a mystical object from a distant country, I've heard.
According to rumors, it warms up right in your palm with just a gentle squeeze. And in any weather!
Heh... I'd love to lay eyes on one. That kind of magic is fascinating indeed.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I've done it! I've obtained a heating pad!
Its warmth will penetrate even the coldest of hearts... Heh! I can't wait to experience it!
Hm? Why haven't I used it yet, you ask?
Because Lord Rivera is curled up on it right now, of course! I wouldn't dream of letting my legs intrude on his space!

Hm... Yet another challenge to overcome in my training...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year. May the upcoming year together be full of blessings.
I know! Why don't you join us for a game? Lord Rivera and the others are playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey with me. But as you can see...
(Captain) looks over to find Lord Rivera and the other cats rubbing against the drawing on the wall, occasionally pawing at the picture.
How can one properly attach an appendage in such a state as this? Perhaps that answer is the key to discovering inner freedom!
Without a doubt... I, Dante, shall show you how to master this metaphorical game!

Dante is curled up on top of his bed.
Oh, if it isn't (Captain). You have a puzzled expression on your face.
Are you familiar with how cats sometimes curl up into balls?
Lord Rivera and the others expertly make their bodies round and then sleep in that position.
I'm attempting it myself now... It puts one's heart at ease and brings a feeling of peace quite unlike anything else.
It seems that Lord Rivera and the others particularly enjoy curling up into balls when there's a heater around.
Perfect timing. Would you like to try it out together, (Captain)?

Danua

Danua: Happy...
Gretel: Danua says happy New Year!
Danua: Sniff... Sniff... Achoo!
Hansel: Danua's not a fan of the cold. Warm her up so she doesn't catch a cold.

Danua: Snore... Snore...
Gretel: Hey, Danua! You're gonna catch a cold sleeping there!
Danua: Sleepy...
Hansel: Looks like she's all tuckered out trying to stay up past midnight.
Danua: (Captain)...
Gretel: Hahaha! Sounds like she's running into you in her dreams, (Captain)!
Hansel: Sorry, (Captain). Is it okay to let Danua continue resting her head on your lap?
Gretel: Sigh... I'll go get the blankets!

Gretel: Okay! Do you have a Queen? Yes?
Danua: Um... Here... Hehe...
Hansel: She seems happy to have given her Queen.
Gretel: Danua, it's your turn.
Danua: Two...
(Captain) hands over a Two of Hearts.
Danua: Gehehe... Two...
Hansel: She says now she has a pair.
Gretel: Hahaha! Danua seems to really like Go Fish!

Danua: Sleepy...
Gretel: Hey! It's morning already! Are you going to lay in bed forever?
Hansel: Perfect timing, (Captain). Danua's being a big sleepyhead who won't get up.
Gretel: She won't make it in time for the big New Year's meal. Hurry up and do something, Captain!
(Captain) quickly pulls the covers off Danua.
Danua: Heehee! (Captain)...
Hansel: Mhm... Yes, yes... Danua's happy that you woke her up.
Gretel: Was this her plan all along? Danua's always hungry for your attention!

Deliford (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Did you sleep well? There's nothing better than waking up refreshed to a bright morning.
Huh? You were having a good dream?
Well, that's not a bad thing. But when you open your eyes, what you'll find is reality.
Don't get lost in dreams. You must acknowledge what's in front of you as you walk the path forward.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I was just thinking about all of the travels we had together this last year.
Heh... Looking back now, it seems that nearly every day we were off on a new adventure taking care of one mission after another.
It's been quite a year, (Captain). I do hope next year is just as exciting.
Here's to another year of adventures, and another year of success!

Uh-huh... Mmhmmm...
So you'd like me to use this mallet to pound the mochi in that mortar?
Heh, you don't have a thing to worry about. I'm not about to let any young kids get the better of me.
Here goes! First to draw it back...
And a one... two...
Agh!
M-my back... Nnngh!
I-I'm sorry, (Captain)... It doesn't look like I can take a single step...
Ooouch!

The first sunrise of the new year... What a grand, majestic sight.
It's enough to make these worries about the future seem small and insignificant.
Oh? Why am I worried, you ask? Well, if I were to ever again find myself without a post...
No, no more. This is not a topic to be spoken of so early in the year, and especially not to one as young as yourself.
Besides, do I not belong to this crew now? That's more than enough for me, (Captain). Hah-hah-hah-hah!

Diantha (Promo)

It's New Year's already? Time has really flown by since I joined the crew.
Umm, Captain. I actually don't like fighting all that much, and I just hope it's not becoming a problem.
It's okay? Thank goodness. I wasn't sure what I'd do otherwise.
My priestess studies, instrument practice, and skyfarer duties... There's so much to do, but I'll give it my best this year too!
Here's to another great year, Captain!

Mrgh... The sun's not up yet?
Hm? You're curious as to why I want to see the first sunrise of the new year?
Well, everyone in the crew is just... so... pretty... Yawn...
Zzz...
Ngh... It's so bright...
Huh? Ahaha, sorry for falling asleep. And thanks for putting the blanket on me.
Ah... The sunrise of the new year is so... beautiful. Making a wish while it's within view is the perfect timing.
Wanna do it together, (Captain)?
...
You want to know what I wished for? Hm... That's staying a secret.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Would you like to go to the shrine with me? I want to make a wish.
I could never muster up the courage before, but I told myself this would be the year I finally do it...
My wish? That's a secret. But you'll find out next month.

Wow... Look at all the people here for the New Year's shrine visit. I wonder what they're all praying for.
Me? I pray for the same thing every year—
That I'll continue to improve and become a better person than I was the year before.
Oh, and there's one other huge thing on my wish list.
You want to hear it? Well, too bad—it's a secret.
Don't even tell anyone that I have this secret wish, okay?
The thing I said before? Sure, you can tell people that much.
Because that's more like a personal vow I've taken on rather than a wish, really.
But if it should ever come true...
That'll be when I let you in on the secret, (Captain).

Dorothy

Happy New Year!
This year isn't going to take care of itself! I've got a lot of work to do!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Is this a dream? No... I really do get to ring in the new year with you!
Leave everything to me this year! I'll work harder than ever!

Happy New Year to you! Did you have a nice dream to start the year?
Mine was amazing! You came swooping in on a hawk and delivered eggplants at my feet! I think that means I'll live long and prosper!
Heehee. I'm off to a great start with this vision.

Happy New Year, Master!
Today is one of those days where you just want to laze about, isn't it? Is that what you want to do today too, Master?
Then go for it! I'll take care of all the pressing matters so you can enjoy a full day of luxury.
First I'll get the room warm and cozy followed by feeding you snacks.
See, I know exactly what it takes to make you comfortable.
So relax and put yourself in the hands of good ol' Dorothy!

Ejaeli

Hmm hmm, mmph. (Happy New Year.)
Mmph! Hmm mmm hm. (Let's sing the first song of the new year!)

Hmm mmm, mmph... (It doesn't matter if the new year comes like clockwork. Each one always feels refreshing.)
Hmm... Mm mm mph... (Judging from the time I've spent with the crew over the past year...)
Mmph mm hmm! (We're in store for another fun one.)
Hmm, mmm! (Oh, I can't stop shaking from excitement!)

Hngh mmph hnngh! (Here we go again! Happy New Year!)
Mmph mm. (Every year since I've joined the crew has been a blast.)
Hmmph mmph... (It's so much better than all those years I spent alone...)
Mmph ummph hnngh! (Let's have another great year, (Captain)!)

Mmm... hmm mmph? (Sob... Oh, (Captain). What's wrong?)
Hmm? Mmm mmph... hmph? (You want to know why I'm upset?)
Mmm, hmmph mmm... (Well, I went to the shrine to get my fortune told...)
Mmph... hmmm... mmm... (And... it said I'm going to have bad luck... Sob...)
Mmm, mmph! (Hey, why are you laughing!)
Hmm mmph mmm? (What? My luck can't get any worse than that?)
Mmph, mmm... hmm? (I don't have anywhere to go but up?)
Mmm, hmmph. Mmph. (W-well, you do have a point. My luck's already about as bad as it can be.)
Mmm hmmph. (Thank you.)
Hmm mmm, mmph! (You made me feel a lot better, (Captain)!)
Mmph! Hmm mmm! (Okay! I'll do my best not to lose to some silly fortune!)

Elmott (Summer)

You want to stay up past your bedtime tonight?
Fat chance! Run off to bed, kid. And pull the covers tight. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Yo, gimme your hand. Huh? Don't be a baby about it.
You did well to survive for another year. You're more resourceful than I give you credit for.
Now don't go getting hurt this year either.

Happy New...
Well, someone looks tired. Guess you stayed up to watch the sunrise last night.
Maybe it's 'cause the air's so clear up here, but that was one beautiful fireball.
Heh heh heh. Man, I hope one day my flames can be as pretty as that.

Hyahaha! They're swelling up nice and big!
Hey, relax. I'll be done roasting these in a jiffy.
Wash your hands, get some drinks ready, and wait for Blazing Elmott to serve 'em up!
You and the rest of the crew had a heck of a time beating the mochi, and now it's my turn to scorch the little munchies to a perfect texture.
Whoa, hands off. Wouldn't wanna burn yourself now.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I truly hope that less people will get hurt this year than last year.
I know that battles are unavoidable and traveling has its dangers... but do try to take care of yourself, (Captain).
Of course I'll do anything I can to help you, so let's make this year a great one!

Mimimimi-miii...
Huh? Ah! (Captain)!
You startled me... I was just warming up my voice...
Don't you feel that the air is a little clearer thanks to the new year? It makes me want to sing.
It feels nice having you around. I never noticed it before.
This year, even if it helps only a little bit, I'll sing for everyone's benefit.
I look forward to where you'll take us, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! A brand new year is upon us!
Have you decided on a New Year's resolution yet?
My resolution is to finally be able to defeat mon...
M-monst...
S-sorry... Just thinking about monsters is making me dizzy.
But don't worry! I've... still got a lot of room to improve!
I know I have a long way to go, but I hope you'll put up with me for another year!

(Captain), happy New Year.
I'm sorry you had to rescue me from trouble so many times this past year.
But this new year, I'm going to try to be more brave like you and everyone else on the ship...
I'll d-do my best to, anyway.
It's kind of hard to say confidently... But this is my resolutionl, and I wanted you to be the first to hear it.
I actually made a song to help encourage me. It's about a fearless warrior who faces every kind of challenge head-on.
Would you mind having a listen?
Thank you very much!
Then without further ado, please listen to this song that's based on you!

Happy... New Year.
My New Year's resolution... is to be more like you and go out more often.
But I don't think I'll start until New Year's is over.
I don't want to be out there with so many people around.

Happy New Year. Looking forward to another year with you, (Captain).
What? Will I go visit a temple to celebrate the new year? No thanks. Too crowded.
I'd rather make frost ornaments in my room than be lost in waves of people.
But if you really want me to go... I guess I'll think about it.

Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to spending more time with you.
Hm? This? It's osechi.
I read about it in a book. Some cultures eat this as a New Year's dish.
I wanted to see if I could make it too.
Would you like to try some? This is my first time making it, so I don't know if the flavor is right or not...
Good idea. Let's eat it together.
Hehe... I like this way of celebrating the new year much more than going to a temple or shrine.

Happy New Year. I hope this year is a good one.
I tried making something else beside osechi this year. This dish is called ozoni.
The books I read say this is an essential soup for celebrating New Year's.
Would you mind having a taste and letting me know what you think?
By the way, the book also mentioned that there are some people who swear by miso stock and others by soy sauce stock.
Which do you prefer?

Eso (SR)

Happy New Year
It feels good to have a fresh start.
This is a very important day to my tribe. The end of one year marks the birth of another.
I pray that my family and the rest of my people are safe and healthy.
I'll be doing my best for the sake of my tribe and my friends on the ship. Let's make this a good year, Captain.

(Captain)! Help!
Streamers! They popped streamers and long ribbons came out!
Now I'm tangled and can't get them off!
Help me, (Captain)!

We have journeyed far together, (Captain).
I feel like we have become family.
Siblings in arms and in spirit.
So for all of you, I must become stronger.
I will protect my family. I will cherish my family. And I will never betray my family.
Please put your trust in me this year too, (Captain).

I drew a New Year's fortune. It said "terrible luck." What does this mean, (Captain)?
I will have the worst possible luck... all year? I cannot... believe this...
Aaah!
Oh. It is only snow from the branches overhead...
I was not scared! Only... on my guard.
If I am cursed with terrible luck, then I must be cautious.
By the way, (Captain). Is a person permitted... to draw a second fortune?

Eugen (Summer)

Happy New Year to ya, Captain!
Here's to another great year ahead!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Heh heh. And what a happy new year it is! It's been great to watch the first sunrise with ya.
Well, it's nice and all to see the first sunrise from an airship, but...
I still think the best sunrise is the one on the shores of Auguste.
I remember standing there with her and Apollo. We all wished it'd last forever.
Oh ho, apologies. Wouldn't wanna talk the sunrise away, heh heh.

Bahaha! It looks like we're facing another new year together, you and me, (Captain).
Honestly though, I feel like the crew has truly become something like a second family to me.
I'm proud to have been able to watch you grow over the years.
Hey, don't give me that look now! Watchin' over you youngsters is my privilege as your elder.
Hm? What about Apollo, you say?
Don't be foolish, that's a whole different story.
But I don't need to tell you that... I'll be upfront and honest with her from here on out.
I may have strayed from the path along the way, but I'm still her father after all... Heh.

It's one of life's mysteries... As soon as the clock strikes twelve on New Year's Eve, beer just tastes better than it did the year before!
Hm? Oh, don't worry your pretty little head, Captain. I'm just a little buzzed, no more. That's the sweet spot!
Now! How about we trade New Year's resolutions?
Hehe... I've actually been cookin' mine up all year.
(Captain), I want you to keep an eye on me an' make sure I stick to it!
My resolution this year is to... Hic! To quit drinkin'...
Aw, damn it. I broke it already...

Ezecrain (Event)

Do you want something or what? You're interrupting my meditation.
What? Happy New Year? I don't remember doing anything to earn your well wishing, but I can see you're trying to do the right thing.
That said, you should know that everything I do is strictly for me... You're so naive.

A new year, huh? I suppose I owe you a great deal. Let me express my thanks.
Why that face? Are you startled by my sudden appreciation?
It wouldn't be becoming of me to forget to give gratitude where it is due.
I am, after all, the parental figure here. Although it's not my intention to be anyone's parent... I just want to show you good manners.

The new year...
Don't give me that silly smile.
The truth of the matter is, I need all of you to accomplish my goal.
I must not forget to show my respect to those helping me.
However, I'm sure your caring nature will be a burden upon us all.
Don't forget that.

The New Year's market? If you're going, then go. There's no reason for me to accompany you. You're old enough not to get lost on your own.
What? At this rate, something unpleasant is going to happen?
In other words, (Captain)... You must have landed in trouble as a result of your talent for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
Good grief... Very well then. I suppose I'll escort you.
If something is to happen, I'll be able to handle it sooner if I'm with you from the beginning.

Happy New Year!
I wish you happiness in the year to come!
Of course, there's no time to dilly-dally. I'm gonna work harder than ever to catch up to Katalina.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
There's something I've been meaning to ask you...
Should I train harder so that I can one day stand beside Katalina? Or should I keep going as am I now so that I can always look up to her?
Katalina was telling me about the importance of New Year's resolutions, but I'm stuck between these two...
Ohh, what to do...

After racking my brain for the longest time last year, I came up with the resolution of training harder to one day stand beside Katalina...
Maybe that was too ambitious of a goal, because I'm fresh out of ideas for this year...
You think I should look at it from another point-of-view? That's a good idea coming from you, (Captain)!
You think I should work on my groove as a girl? I'm not sure I get it... Tidy up my wavy hair? Stand up tall? I don't quite get that either...
Oh no, what do I do? I just want to be more like Katalina! Really, that's all!
Hmm... Aiiiee-hehe!
I think I've got it! Yeah, this'll do it!
Wanna hear about it? Fine, I'll make a special exception just for you! Hope you're ready for it...
"Train even harder to one day stand beside Katalina..." Time to get this down on paper and hang it up on my wall!

What are your thoughts on how last year went, (Captain)?
Lots of happenings, you say? That's the same for me!
My capabilities grew as I continued to chase after Katalina.
I think I was able to gain a step toward her, even if just a small one. It was a good year for me!
I hope this year will be just as good.
I've decided to add one more goal in addition to the one I had last year.
I just don't know what it should be yet...
Um... Hmm... This is tough...
Ah, I got it! I'm going to make this year better than last year! That's what my new goal will be!
You too, (Captain)! Make sure this year is better than the last!

Feather (Halloween)

You ready for the first fisticuffs of the new year, (Captain)?
I've gotta let out all this excitement before I implode!

Here comes the new year! Are you ready for it, (Captain)?
I want to understand you better, (Captain)—and not just through fisticuffs either!
Let's make this the year we really get to know each other!
Kite flying's up first!

How's the new year treatin' ya, (Captain)? As for me, I can't get enough of the crisp morning air!
It feels like the new year is congratulating us on our first step into new horizons.
I went to give Randall my New Year's greetings just now...
But then he and I figured words are overrated.
I realized it the moment he visited my face with a high-flying kick.
I blocked it just in time of course, but a romp with him always gets me all fired up!
So whaddya say, (Captain)? Care for a romp with me? It'll be our first!
Actually, words are overrated. Our bodies already know the answer!

A new year has arrived, (Captain)! Make sure you grab it by the horns!
See, I realized something. I don't actually know all that much about you.
I figured we'd be able to communicate with our fists, that I'd learn everything about you that way. But, nope, part of you is still a mystery to me.
So I say we spend more time doing stuff together this year!
And I don't mean just brawling. We'll go for walks, shopping, whatever!
Now what better way to start than with a trip to the shrine?
We can draw our fortunes, have some sweet sake, and top it off with a round of badminton!

Feena (Event)

La-lala-lalaa! Tasty, tasty sweets, hooray! Yummy, yummy treats, yay!
Hi, (Captain)! I just challenged the entire crew to see who can eat the most dessert!
I'm gonna crush 'em! Well, Lyria might pose a threat, I guess... Nah, my stomach can handle her!

There's not much to do on New Year's day except sleep in...
All the shops are closed too, so there's nowhere to go.
Oh well. Bein' lazy on the first day of the new year ain't so bad, I guess.
Yep. Just for today though!

Happy New Year! Here's to fresh beginnings!
Aren't you tickled pink to have the invincibly cute Feena in your face right from the start?
All right now. We're busy bees today with all the New Year's stuff we gotta do, so splash some water on your face and let's go well-wishing!
Then we'll eat, fly kites, eat some more, and play in the park!
This day only comes once a year! Da-da-dan! Charge!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's see what the fortune cookie says!
Hehehe! Fortune cookie! Cookie! What have you got for me?
Lucky Feena's bound to get super lucky this year!
Pulling out the slip now!
Whoa! (Captain), get a load of this!
It says to leave everything to dearest adorable Feena if you know what's good for you!
Hope you got that, (Captain)!

Ferry (Halloween)

Happy New Year!
My island is always shrouded in fog all year round, so almost nothing ever changes regardless of what time of year it is.
Mmm... But the winds outside the island bring change. It's a fantastically refreshing feeling.
Hehe. New Years... I've been through more than I can count, but this one feels different somehow.
Please show me more new experiences this year too, (Captain).

Mm... I love feeling the first breeze of the new year.
One year fades while the next one brightens. It's a never ending cycle...
Before you came I would spend my days languishing from one moment to the next, but I realize now how important my time is.
Thank you, (Captain). This is all possible because of you and everyone else.

A visit to the shrine, you say?
I'd very much like to go with you, but is it all right for a ghost to be there?
People usually pray for good health, but that's not especially helpful to a ghost who doesn't get sick and doesn't age.
Well, if it does turn out okay for me to go, then I guess I'll pray for everyone else's well-being.

Have you decided what you're gonna accomplish this year, (Captain)?
It's not like you have to make grand plans or anything as long as it's something you'll set your mind to.
Being able to change every day is one of the things only the living get to do.
If you pass the time doing nothing or never trying anything else, it's no different from being dead.
So it's not enough to simply live; having goals is important too.
Why don't I think of a goal too?
Um, because I...
Hehe, actually yeah. Why not? I'll try to come up with something.
A ghost like me doesn't change like you or the rest of the crew, at least not in a way that can be seen.
But as long as I have you guys with me, I'll change slowly but surely. I hope.

Friday (Summer)

Happy New Year! Let's make this another banner year for Premium Friday!
I just got back from visiting all my friends to wish them a happy New Year. Here, this is for you, (Captain)!
Heh. It's a New Year's card in the shape of my FRIED SHRIMP! Isn't it the cutest?
Doesn't that fried-batter gold just make you drool? I'm pretty proud of that.
I hand painted them all, wishing everyone good fortune in the new year with each brushstroke!
Hm? Feeling peckish at the sight of your delectable-looking greeting card?
Good thing I came prepared with a mountain of real fried prawns! Here, take all you want!

Happy New Year! Let's spend this year doing our best to spread the goodness of Premium Friday to all!
Well then, why don't you try drawing your fortune from this FRIED SHRIMP-shaped box? Come on, don't be shy!
Oh, there's your fortune. Let's see...
A golden FRIED SHRIMP!
Congratulations! It's the best one!
What extraordinary luck right from the start of the year! It's my pleasure to present you with... a complete set of the Premium Life Dice Game!
Feel free to play it during the New Year's holidays. It'll definitely help you understand more about Premium Friday!

Friday: Oh yeah! Now that's a keeper!
Ah, (Captain)! Didn't notice you there. I was just capturing the sunrise with my wisestone!
You've never heard of a wisestone before? Sure you have! You saw it when we first met!
Surprised? This board is the product of an ancient technology which allows it to preserve and display various types of images.
Hehe, now do you remember?
Lots of folks bundle up to visit shrines and festivals, but sometimes you just wanna lounge around at home or sleep off a hangover.
That's why I came up with the Celebrate-at-Home system! It allows you to enjoy picturesque shrines and sunrises without ever stepping foot out the door!
I've got the delivery process all figured out. I just strap the wisestone onto FRIED SHRIMP's head like so...
FRIED SHRIMP: Fryyyy!
Friday: And voila! I can capture any image I want!
You can have this picture to commemorate this wonderful day. Big smiles now! A fresh new year looks forward to meeting us!

Happy New Year!
About to head out to the shrines, are we? Then this is the perfect time to give you this!
Heh! Bet you're thinking, "Meh, just another flyer for Alohas." Well, take a gander at the lower right corner!
You'll be surprised to learn that Alohas has installed a fried shrimp shrine on its premises! Doesn't that sound prawesome?
It's not huge by any means, but that doesn't make it any less holy. It was partitioned from a larger prestigious shrine and retains a portion of that divinity.
This compact shrine still provides benefits like blessing households with prosperity, answering prayers, warding off evil, and helping with marriage.
And here's the kicker! Anyone who visits the shrine now will receive a special charm that contains a piece of FRIED SHRIMP's vestments inside!
Now you have even less of a reason not to go!
Let's not waste anymore time! Hop onto the FRIED SHRIMP express line so we can hit the shrine!

Galadar (SR)

I always see the new year as a fresh start, ye know?
No holdin' back now, we'an.
This fresh cake made wi' an iron fist is all yers!
Ye should know tho'-it's really just a steel brick! Bahahaha!
How's that fur a New Year's gift? Gahahaha!

Bwahaha! Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm bein' overly cheerful, ye say?
Mwahahaha! I spend mah days forgin' pipin' steel! That's bound tae make anyone happy!
Why don't ye try it too?
Klink, klank, klonk! Klink, klank, klonk! Och, I just love that sound!
Bwahahaha! Ye can expect another year o' th' best weapons from me, Captain!

Dahahaha! Happy New Iron, (Captain)!
Hm? I've got the holiday name wrong?
Ohoho, I wouldn't call it 'wrong' per se. 'Tis a new greeting I came up wit' just now!
What's that? Now ye want to know the best time to use it?
Ain't it obvious? Ye say it during the birth of shiny new iron!
Happy New Iron!
C'mon, say it wit' me, Cap'n! Happy New Iron!
Dahahaha! 'Tis always a resounding joy to see new iron come into the world!

Dahahaha! Another year's upon us, Cap'n! Happy New Iron!
Ah, what a glad occasion! We're gonnae have a fine year, I can feel it in me bones!
I know! How'd ye like a tour of me forge, eh? Ye can help me temper an' fold, an' we can ring this new iron in proper!
That's decided! So let's be off, an' not a moment tae waste!
Dahahaha! Happy New Iron!

Gayne

Happy New Year! La la la!
Oh, you want to know what I'm doing?
You can't tell? Why, I'm so filled with cheer, I can't help but dance!
Yes, it's true. Hey, are you saying my dance looks silly?
This is my dance to bring in the new year! You don't like it? Well, excuse me...

A top? Is this a new year's tradition where you're from? I spin it like this?
Ooh, how interesting. And look at how straight it stands. What a beautiful spin.
...
Mmm... I can't lost to a toy!
We'll see who has the more beautiful spin, me or that top!
(Captain)? Why are you laughing like that?
You gave me that because you knew I'd do this? I've been had!

Happy, happy New Year!
There's tons of fun to be had at the start of the new year!
Kite flying, paddle games, cards, dice, pin the tail on the donkey... And I just learned how to spin tops!
Maybe I'll even hold a group session for sword dancing sometime!
You're worried about people getting hurt from the swords? W-well... If they simply practice really hard, then it won't be a problem!
I mean, I've heard of kids doing cross-sword puzzles before, so dancing can't be that bad!
Huh? Crossword puzzles have nothing to do with swords?

My... (Captain), you're already up?
There's a delicious smell, you say? Hehe. I've just finished throwing together a warm pot of stew.
You were sleeping so soundly. Poor dear, you must've been exhausted, merry-making well past midnight. So I thought I'd fix you something nourishing.
Hehe. When I was a traveling dancer, I was constantly whipping up meals. I'm quite a good cook, you know?(Captain)And my stews are simply to die for. Helnar used to finish entire pots in a day!
Well, eat up! I've made plenty, so there's no need to rush, all right?

Ghandagoza (Summer)

A most auspicious new year to you! If you want to become a master of the Eternal Rage Style, listen very carefully.
Think not of the start of the year as a time of rest, but as a time to start training.
Practice and hone yourself each day, and one day you might just be worthy of being my greatest disciple!
Gahaha!

(Captain)! You realize it's not the first day of the new year you're observing, correct?
I would forgive you for thinking so...
But, no, what you're really laying eyes upon is an illustrious fighter as he begins a new journey...
A journey to keep his Ghandagozolutions!
And seeing my favored pupil so early in the new year is a sign that I will surely keep them this time.
Bwahaha! So come—let us begin our training immediately!
I don't know what I've been told,
Eternal Rage is my whole soul!
Sound off! One, two!

Captain! A prosperous New Year to you! Prosperitaaay!
Gwahahaha! A most curious greeting indeed.
I recall the days of my training; I once gave that greeting to a martial master I had met in travel.
A fascinating island it was. Every single islander was adept in the ways of the fist. One learned something new at every turn!
Ah! And another fascinating thing!
The islanders would partake of a certain soft, chewy food to celebrate the new year.
It was made from the meat of pigs or fish and wrapped in a skin of thin flour dough. They would then boil it until ready.
How delicious it was! My mouth waters at the thought...
Hmmm. What did they call it...
Go... Gyo... za...
Gwahahaha! The name escapes me.
But no matter! You hunger do you not? Then prepare it for you I shall! I call it...
Ghanda-gyozaaa!

Uh-oh...
(Captain), that bell's about to fall from the shelf! Out of the waaaay!
Phew... Artfully evaded, (Captain).
I'm glad you rang in the new year safely.
Hm? You think I knocked the bell down just to make that joke?
Nuhahaha! Are you able to read my mind?
If you are, then you know my next question.
You think it's whether you've made a New Year's resolution yet?
Very good, (Captain). That is precisely correct.
Let us stay true to ourselves this year as in all years. Understood?
(Captain), Ghandagoza is here beside you!
Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Hi-yappy New Year!

Goblin Mage

Happy New Year!
Let's see... I wanna visit the festival at the shrine!
Feena told me, you see! If you go to the festival there, the gods will give you some shiny things to take home!
If I get a bunch, then I'll give you some!

Happy New Year! I'm gonna get even more shiny stuff for my collection this year!
Is your resolution to get more shiny stuff too, (Captain)? Then let's help each other get lots and lots!

Wow! I wanna ride the airship over there, (Captain)! I saw a big shiny thing!
What did Feena call it... Oh! The New Year's sunrise!
Hurry, hurry! Full speed ahead! We gotta get all the big and shiny sunrises!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Let's get lots of shinies this year!
There were already lots of shinies in the New Year's meal!
They were yellow, and they smelled sweet like chestnuts.
If you eat them, then you can be healthy and collect more shiny stuff!
We've gotta hurry! (Captain), eat together with me!

Grea (Event)

I've never seen the first sunrise of the year to be honest.
I didn't want to go outside knowing how many other people would be out and about.
But I'm not afraid anymore after meeting you and the crew.
So... Um...
Could we all go watch the sunrise together?

(Captain)? Why are you up? It's so early in the morning...
Me? I got up early to see the first sunrise of the year.
Anne and I were supposed to see it together.
But she wouldn't get out of bed for anything...
That's why I came here by myself.
So, (Captain), wanna go see the New Year's sunrise? It'll be just like last year.
And I'd be... I'd be a little lonely without anyone else.

(Captain), happy New Year.
Would you like to have breakfast with me later?
I tried making osechi for the first time. I was hoping to hear what you think of it...
Anne? No, it doesn't matter what you put in her mouth—she finds everything delicious.
You'll join me? Great, let me go wake up Anne.
As soon as she wakes up, the three of us can have breakfast together.

Yawn... Oh, (Captain), happy New Year.
Hm? Am I feeling sick?
No, I'm not sick. I'm swaying back and forth like this because I'm... really sleepy...
I stayed up all night with Anne and the others to see the first sunrise of the year... That's why... Yawn...
I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yawn in the middle of talking... Yawn...
Ugh... Don't laugh...
A-anyway... I'm going to head back to my room now.
I wouldn't want to do anything else to embarrass myself in front of you...
Well, good night, (Captain).

Hazen (SR)

Happy New Year!
Allow me to provide the guidance necessary to make this year a good one.

A new year has arrived. Was this past year one of regret for you?
If so, repent, and devote yourself to making this year one you can remember free of remorse.
If you have no regrets from this past year, that is what matters most. May you enjoy this year as much as the last.
Let's make this another good one, (Captain).

Happy New Year!
But just because this is a festive occasion doesn't mean we should let our minds wander. Let's temper our spirits on this day as well.
Observing the first sunrise of the new year with you, (Captain)... It's a gift.
Oh, but let us not forget that the sun rises every day. We should be thankful for the blessing that is daily life.
And one by one those blessings shall come and go... until we have another wonderful year on our hands.

(Captain), happy New Year's.
The porridge is ready. Would you like to eat together?
I used vegetables from my own garden. I hope this suits your tastes.
Careful now... Eat too fast, and the mochi may get stuck in your throat. We wouldn't want that.
Anyway, I made plenty if you'd like seconds. Relax and enjoy.
The start of another busy year has come upon us... Taking it easy for a day surely can't be all that bad.

Helnar (Summer)

Happy New Year.
I'm glad we've been able to spend this New Year's Eve together.
Heh heh. It's getting late, but I hope you have some great dreams tonight. Well then, good night.

Happy New Year! And what a year it's been!
I'm grateful to be able to travel with you guys. Every day's been an adventure!
I still remember the day I left the island to seek a name for myself like it was yesterday.
I've got to keep honing my skills if I don't want the dream my partner and I share to come to an end.
Yes. To hear the cries of joy coming from the adoring ladies, I won't hesitate to make any sacrifices!
Here's to another wonderful year!

Happy New Year!
I'm glad you came to wish me a happy new year so soon.
My first dream of the year was of you. So I wanted to see you too.
Hmm? What kind of dream was it? Haha. I can't tell you that.
But... if you really insist...
Spend some time with me tonight, and you might get me to spill it.

Happy New Year!
Before I started traveling with you all, every day was filled with practice of my technique.
I wasn't too mindful of time or the passing seasons.
But celebrating the beginning of a new year really makes you feel fresh and new.
This year I'll keep practicing... and put aside time to spend with you all too, naturally.
Heh-heh, have a wonderful year!

Helnar

Happy New Year.
I'm glad we've been able to spend this New Year's Eve together.
Heh heh. It's getting late, but I hope you have some great dreams tonight. Well then, good night.

Happy New Year! And what a year it's been!

Herja (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
But you know, having a calm start to the new year is a first for me.
When my father was still healthy, he'd wake me up early for grueling morning drills. That was after I joined the Iron Spear Agents.
It became our custom to sweat the entire New Year's day training. New-dawn drills we called them.
Ahaha, so would you care to indulge me, (Captain)?
Let's work up a good sweat with some new-dawn drills!

(Captain), happy New Year
This morning the crew and I prepared a traditional Iron Spear's New Year's dish called Osechi.
Would you like to try some? I think it came out well.
We believe this dish brings good luck. At the very least, I hope it will have a placebo effect.
Please do have some.
I wish nothing but the best for you, our leader.
We made a lot, so feel free to take seconds!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I'm deeply grateful we both made it safely through a year filled with so many dangerous assignments.
Thanks to you and the crew, it's been a very fulfilling twelve months for me.
I do have some regrets, however. I feel like my ceding to impure thoughts has caused trouble for all of you.
So would you accompany me on my first shrine visit of the year?
I want to go and pledge not to let my impure thoughts mislead me.
That should strengthen my resolve to diamond hardness. Don't you think?

Recent going-ons in life, an updated training menu... Hm, what else should I write down...
Ah, (Captain). Happy New Year.
Oh, this? I'm writing a New Year's greeting card to my Iron Spear agents.
It's been a while since our last contact. They say no news is the best news, but I think it's still important to keep each other informed.
Not to mention they tend to laze about when I'm not around, so this letter should serve as a reminder to keep their training up.
Funny thing is... When I'm coaching them directly, they really get into it.
All this talk about training has me itching for some action...
All right, (Captain)! Can I ask you to spar with me to get me going?

Io

Happy New Year!
Can I get my New Year's presents now?

Ugh... I was up all night last night, so I'm really sleepy.
This happens to me every year, but I can't possibly stay in bed on New Year's Eve.
Oh, I shouldn't be complaining like this! It's not very lady-like.
So let me just say, happy New Year, (Captain)!

Wow! Is that for me? For New Year's? Thanks, (Captain)!
Oh, wait!
I'm supposed to be a full-grown lady now...
I should be the one giving out gifts.
Wait here! I'll be right back with presents for all the little ones!
Hehe! Of course! What else would you expect from a grown-up like me!

Hey, (Captain)! How would you say I've changed since last year?
I'd say I'm becoming more of a refined lady with every passing day, wouldn't you?
Hey... Why'd you go silent? Say something!
Ah. Nope, nope. Settle down, Io. What's that thing Rosetta always says? "Anger and haste hinder good counsel"?
You've taught me something important today, (Captain).
Heh heh! First day of the new year, and already I'm taking another step on the staircase of refinement!

Ippatsu (SR)

Happy New Year! Now just how many bowls of ramen will I get to eat this year...
The anticipation's killing me!

Happy New Year, Captain! Listed out your new year resolutions yet?
Me? Of course! I have but one! Taste all the ramen I can find!
Ah yes, and exercise it all off.
Ramen always tastes better when you're in tip-top shape!

Happy New Year! Let's make this year a good one!
I tell you, there sure are a lot of good cooks in this crew!
And the stuff they serve up for New Year's celebrations is really scrumptious!
But, you know... Pampering your taste buds like that refines the tongue.
That means I'd better choose carefully which type of ramen to start off the new year with.
Oh, what a luxurious dilemma!

Happy New Year! Here's to another year of travels together.
By the way, (Captain). Are you a fan of mochi?
Did you know that mochi actually goes quite well on ramen?
I thought we'd have some ramen with mochi to ring in the new year.
So what do you say, (Captain)? Let's share our first bowls of the year together.

J.J. (Summer)

Happy New Year, Cap'! Let's go out and have a good time!
Just a little fun with my number one, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! Out with the old year! Bring in that good cheer!
Huh? You don't get it, Captain?
This is my New Year's greeting for you!
If you wanna ring it in, raise the roof and let's begin! Find a cool MC and we'll start the party!
Yo, Captain! This year, J.J.'s bringing it to ya! This is where it's happening!
Happy New Year! Out with the old year! Bring in that good cheer!

New year!
Lotsa cheer!
Goin' to a new frontier!

Get ready 'cause there's gonna be a whole lot more.

Trustin' you , 'cause you a survivor!
Hey! Check it out! Happy New Year, man.

Happy New "Y" to the "E" to the "A" to the "R"!
I'm about to wax lyrical with an acrostic! Chew on this a-e-i-o-u!
A!
Au revoir to last year, but my convictions ain't changed!
E!
Expect me, J.J., to keep doing things my way!
I!
I ain't gonna let nothin' ruin my day!
O!
On the road smilin' toward an endless dream!
U!
Utterin' "oh my gosh!" at the wonders of the skies!
A-E-I-O-U! Comin' atcha, whoo!
That's my creed! How about you, (Captain)? You best figure out your aspirations and step up!

Jamil (Dark)

Greetings on this, the beginning of another year. I hope it is full of many wonders. You're a truly inspirational captain.
Huh? I'm too formal? I'm sorry, that's just how I was trained. H-Happy New Year!
Haha... I feel a bit embarrassed now.

Are you ready to rock the new year, Master (Captain)?
...
Ah, I was simply trying out a more casual New Year's greeting...
Did it seem odd?
Too stiff, you say? Hmm...
Trying to say it naturally is actually quite difficult. But I shall continue to practice.

Happy New Year, Master. I sincerely hope ya have a boss year.
...
Um... That's not really how young people talk, is it? It's difficult trying to match the way they speak.
Hmm... More difficult than assassinations even. I must concentrate harder.

Master, this year I wish to offer you my felicitations in a style more befitting my age.
Prepare yourself... Here I go.
Slappy New-New, best wishes, party hearty, may old acquaintance be forgot, bang out those resolutions, my dude, to Zinkenstill with love, Jamil.
How was that? I asked advice from everyone who patronizes Raduga and decided to combine their suggestions.
From the look on your face, I suspect I missed the mark...
I will begin training for next year.

Jamil

Jasmine (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I wish you good health in the year to come!
You're not worried because I'm here? Oh, come now, don't say that, (Captain).
My medicine's only for those who take care of themselves. Teehee...

(Captain), I made some tea for the both of us!
This is a special herbal mix that cleans the body of toxins!
Let's drink it together for good health!
Here's to another fantastic year, (Captain)!

Rabbit:
Jasmine: Haha. Ah, (Captain), why don't we pet the animals together?
Rabbits are said to be creatures of fortune, so a nice head pat should bring us good luck for the year.
Eep! Oh, (Captain)!
Patting my head won't get you very far! Teehee...

Oh dear, (Captain)! How long have you been waiting outside?
Since how early? But that's still a lot of time before we were supposed to meet...
It makes me happy to know how much you're looking forward to watching the sunrise together.
But you're practically frozen! You're going to catch a cold!
Come over here!
I forgot to bring any hand warmers unfortunately.
So my own hands will just have to do.
Teehee. After the sun comes out, we'll go back to the airship, and I'll fix us some hot tea.
But until then I'll keep your hands toasty.

Jeanne d'Arc (SR)

Happy New Year. I look forward to another great year for us.
The start of a new year is truly a momentous occasion. I always find myself feeling refreshed.
Of course, that's not to say the previous year was spent in waste...
Regardless, I vow to train harder than ever this year!
There's no telling when the chance to save someone will come -- I must be ready for it.
Better safe than sorry, as they say.

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's hope good health finds us this year as well!
I suspect my studies in Orleans will continue to pile up, but that's another reason to stay in good shape.
In order to reach a big goal, one has to take care of all the small things one-by-one.
(Captain), your big goal is to one day arrive at the ends of the skies.
To successfully get there, you should take care not to get sick or injured on the way.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm glad we were able to make it through another year together.
I am a soldier of Orleans, and you, (Captain), are a skyfarer. Both of us have the duty of risking our lives in times of need.
As that is our resolution as well as our pride, we must take care of ourselves in times of peace so that we can give our all when the time comes.
In order to protect that peace and overcome the trials that we may face, this year, let's continue to train ourselves and grow stronger together.

Happy New Year! It brings me great joy to be able to ring in another year with you.
We managed to spend our peaceful days living in good health and cheer, just as we set out to do.
For the battles that we did fight, we proved to be formidable warriors. I am grateful that the heavens have not yet decreed me unworthy.
We should decide on our goals for this year—the first of which must be to continue diligently training.
As long as we remain dedicated, there is no challenge that we cannot overcome!

Jessica (Event)

Time to celebrate the new year!
This last year passed so quickly. Since I started traveling with you, (Captain), the seasons just seem to fly by.

Cakes, sweet drinks, red-bean soup... There are so many great things to eat for New Year's. It's hard to decide, isn't it?
But people also say it's easy to gain weight this time of year. I better watch my diet.
What's that? You think I shouldn't worry so much?
I can't let my guard down now! That could lead to all kinds of trouble!
We have to be sure to take good care of ourselves.
I suppose that does sound a little preachy, doesn't it?
Hehe. Whenever I look at you, I guess my sisterly instincts start to kick in.

Happy New Year.
It's a beautiful sunrise, huh?
Hehe. What a wonderful, relaxing way to spend the first hours of the new year.
We did so much last year.
What kind of stuff are you expecting to do this year?
I'm so excited to see what'll happen next. Captain, I look forward to our upcoming travels!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Here's to another great one.
All righty then... Today I'll be taking all the little kids on the crew for their first shrine visit of the year. Then—
Hm? You'll go with me tomorrow, so we can take today off to relax?
Hm... I think I'll take you up on that.
The kids will have more fun with you along...
And so will I.
Let's really be lazy today, and tomorrow we'll all go to the shrine together!

Time to celebrate the new year!
This last year passed so quickly. Since I started traveling with you, (Captain), the seasons just seem to fly by.

Cakes, sweet drinks, red-bean soup... There are so many great things to eat for New Year's. It's hard to decide, isn't it?
But people also say it's easy to gain weight this time of year. I better watch my diet.
What's that? You think I shouldn't worry so much?
I can't let my guard down now! That could lead to all kinds of trouble!
We have to be sure to take good care of ourselves.
I suppose that does sound a little preachy, doesn't it?
Hehe. Whenever I look at you, I guess my sisterly instincts start to kick in.

Happy New Year.
It's a beautiful sunrise, huh?
Hehe. What a wonderful, relaxing way to spend the first hours of the new year.
We did so much last year.
What kind of stuff are you expecting to do this year?
I'm so excited to see what'll happen next. Captain, I look forward to our upcoming travels!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Here's to another great one.
All righty then... Today I'll be taking all the little kids on the crew for their first shrine visit of the year. Then—
Hm? You'll go with me tomorrow, so we can take today off to relax?
Hm... I think I'll take you up on that.
The kids will have more fun with you along...
And so will I.
Let's really be lazy today, and tomorrow we'll all go to the shrine together!

Happy New Year. May this year be just as good as the last.
Now then, enough formalities. Let's eat!

Happy New Year, (Captain). You can count on my support this year too.
Know that I'll be right behind you to the ends of the skies and beyond.
Ha-ha. A little too formal, huh? I just thought I'd say it formally to mark the new year.
We can enjoy the fun times only because there are times when we must focus. Balance in everything is what counts.

A splendid new year to you! I hope that our crew continues to prosper.
I intend to work just as hard as before so that you may successfully find your way to the end of the skies.
Haha... I suppose I'm being overly formal for the first day of the new year. But not without good reason.
A fresh year presents a unique opportunity to begin anew. It truly is a splendid time to change one's attitude.

Happy New Year. Here's to another year of journeying together.
I intend to do my utmost to be an asset to your crew, Captain.
Ha-ha. I apologize for being so formal every year.
But I believe it's important for me to put my feelings into words. I appreciate you being willing to hear me out.
Now then, all this formality is exhausting.
What do you say we replenish our energy by enjoying a delicious New Year's meal!

Joel (SR)

Happy New Year! Be sure not to waste this important holiday.
The weather might be chilly, but don't stay cooped up inside. Try and take a walk. It'll warm you up!

If you relax all through the holiday, you might feel sluggish after the holiday's over.
That's what you should try moving around a little. Even food tastes better after some exercise!
Come on! Let's take a little stroll outside! It'll warm you up.
Why don't you wear something light in case you break a sweat? Like a cardigan or something.
And don't forget, you could catch a cold if you don't stay active.
All right! Shall we head out then for a walk?

Huff, huff, huff, huff...
Happy New Year, (Captain)... Me? Well, the morning air felt so fresh, so I went and had a jog.
The weather's great today... You should try some exercise too.
By the way, I saw a crowd of people headed up the thousand-stair path near the mountain while I was out.
They say that if you climb all one thousand steps and make a wish at the top, then it'll come true.
You wanna check it out? Yeah, I figured you'd say that when I told you.
But climbing a thousand steps can be hard on your body, so let's take our time and not rush.
Go get changed and wait for me back here. I'll go make some hot tea to bring along to keep ourselves warm.

Happy New Year. This is a great opportunity for us to make sure we're all in good health.
To that end proper diet and exercise are key.
So I'm gonna go out for a run. There's nothing better than setting and maintaining good habits from the start of a new year.
Hm, you thought I'd say that? You're ready to go running too because you saw my annual invite from a mile away?
Good, both of us are prepped then. Let's get going.
Since we're doing this, we might as well follow up with some intense bodyweight exercises after the run.
To another year of fantastic health, (Captain)!

Johann (Event)

Another year is upon us, which means we're that much further from antiquity.
My resolution is to see all the ruins of old before they vanish.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
We've come to the start of another year, yes? How wondrous.
Last year was quite fruitful. What astonishing discoveries and mysteries await us this year? I can hardly wait to find out!

Say, (Captain), will you partake in a New Year's custom from a different land? All you have to do is write down your resolution for this year.
Yes, I even have the materials all prepared for you. Go for it.
Phew, I'm all done. How about you, (Captain)?
Hahaha. Oh no, I'm not laughing at your resolution.
Someday in the distant future, someone is bound to see our mementos of the past.
I wonder what that person will think of us.
I get the strangest sense of elation when I imagine myself as a small part of the larger tapestry that is history.

(Captain), happy New Year.
It's the start of a new time. What will you do with it? Last year you wrote down a resolution...
Since then I've read quite a few texts and found other quite varied traditions...
Some that have lasted, some that have changed, and some that have vanished...
So many different cultures have crossed so many unique roads. It really is fascinating.
The me of the past would have stopped there.
But now I have you and all the members of the crew.
Why stop at talking when there are so many things we could do together!
That would give me the chance to really feel everything I read for myself!

Joy (Event)

Today is New Year's Day!
Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Joy is happy to be here to say it in bellson.
(Captain), do you want to toll with Joy?
Joy has been practicing to make a beautiful gong!
Gooong!
Gooonnnggg!
Now you try, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! (Captain)!
Joy rang loud and clear!
Do you think Joya is proud? I hope so!
By the way! Everyone will visit shrines soon! Right?
Joy wants to go too!
Mahira... Kumbhira... Vikala... Joy wants to go to all their shrines! Is that okay?
Will you take Joy?
Yay! (Captain)! Thank you!
Joy will get ready to go!

Happy New Year!
You know, Andira said today is for "sleeping in."
It's Joy's first time hearing about "sleeping in" on New Year's. Do you know about it, (Captain)?
You mean, it's spending New Year's sleeping and relaxing?
So not everyone goes to the shrine? I see. There are many ways to spend New Year's!
Okay, Joy will "sleep in" today too. Let's relax together, (Captain)!

Happy New Year!
Take a look—Joy made a kadomatsu! Isn't that impressive?
Joy learned how to make one from Anila. It's simple. Cut some bamboo. Next, pair it with pine decorations like so.
Anila says that they attract good fortune wherever they are placed.
Let's have another happy and enjoyable year together, (Captain)!

Juri (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Keep up the good work!
My father, Lieutenant Galston, and now you.
If there's anything I can do to be of use to the figures I respect, I will happily push myself to the limit!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Can you feel the change in the air? My body is tense with excitement.
I'm going to do everything in my power to help you reach the island of the Astrals!
You can count on me, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm so glad to witness the rising of a new sun with this crew.
From the trust you've placed in me, to the promises I've made with my fellow crew members...
All of it has made me a better person. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I will devote myself to the betterment of the crew! Let's have another good year, (Captain)!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Hm... Judging from your clothing, you train during New Year's too?
Choose: Train with me!
Of course! I'd love to!
I wouldn't mind picking up a few pointers from you!
Juri and (Captain) start by warming up.
Phew...
The New Year's breeze is so refreshing. It really heightens the resolve in me.
Well, then (Captain)... Here I come!
Hyaaagh!

Juri

Karteira (SR)

Happy New Year!
What's that? My New Year's resolution?
Well, you've really put me on the spot, huh?
Ah... There's so many things I could think of, it's hard to pick just one.
Well, maybe I should make you answer instead then.
(Captain), tell me your New Year's resolution!

Heh-heh! Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Now that that's out of the way...
Have a look at this account ledger!
Uh-oh! This doesn't look good, (Captain)...
You've certainly saved up a lot, but you've got quite a lot to go, see...
But this year feels like a good one! You could pay it all back and be free!
If anything, I could help ya out. Get you closer to your goal...
All right! I'm on it! No need to worry because I'll set the interest rates low for ya! Just leave the arrangements to me...
Heh-heh... But I see your debt growin' every day!

Happy New Year! Don't spend all your New Year's allowance in one day!
What? You didn't spend a single rupie? Well, I said don't spend all of it, not don't spend any of it.
Here, here. Have a look at this.
Looks good, huh? They call it "mochi" in the eastern islands.
I took on the task of refining this fine product and making my very own brand of top quality mochi.
I call it... Drum Mochi!
That's right! Named it after this big ol' drum I got on my back.
Eat this and it's prosperity for you! Good business, happy family, great love life, kids do well, all that good stuff! Guaranteed! Oh! I should add on health to the list too.
Heh-heh! Best mochi you'll ever eat! Gives you all sorts of happiness.
So? Think it'll sell good? Might even open a specialty shop for this.
I'll build it on a nice island somewhere. Even if it's small, I could have just a nice little shop. Settle down here... Just... you and me...
Gack! The heck're you makin' me say! Dummy pants! Never mind! Forget everything!

Hehehe... Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Remember that Drum Mochi I sold last year?
They went like hotcakes, just like I figured! Ah, it makes me feel all warm an' fuzzy inside.
And so, back by popular demand, I bring you... Drum Mochi II!
This version is called Lantern Mochi!
One bite will bring you fame, fortune, and professional advancement beyond your wildest dreams!
Hm. You're already top dog on this crew, so I guess it wouldn't do you much good, huh?
Oh, I know! You can be my spokesperson!
If you go around telling folks Lantern Mochi can make you captain of your own crew of skyfarers, you'll sell a million!
Hehehe... C'mon, (Captain)! Time to make some rupies!

Karva (SR)

Happy New Year!
Here's to a year full of traps and thrills! Heheheh! That's my resolution!

The countdown ball for New Year's Eve is always exciting to see, don't you think?
It reminds you of a trap, right? Where a giant boulder drops and comes rumbling your way!
Oh boy, I can't wait to explore more! Hey, (Captain), how about we visit some exotic ruins to search for treasure?
Heheheh... I wonder what the first trap of the year will be!

Ahhh... Hmmm... I think it's great when the new year comes because everyone gets so cheery...
But... all this relaxing just isn't for me. Ahhh...
I want thrills... I want dangerous traps...
Huh? The Grandcypher's on course? For some ruins? Some dangerous ruins where they have heaps of traps?
Thank you, (Captain)! I knew joining this crew was the right idea!

Hee-hee... Ah, (Captain)! I just got word of some ancient ruins, waitin' to be explored!
A new adventure awaits us for the new year!
You'll get to experience new thrills! Not to mention you'll get a New Year's present! Two birds with one stone, right?
What New Year's present, you ask?
Ahaha! Why, there's always thrill and treasure to be found in ancient ruins, silly!
So nick anything you can find and that'll be like your very own New Year's present!
So let's go, (Captain)! No time to waste!
Whoo-whee! How exciting! I wonder what kind of treasures await us this time?

Katalina (Summer)

Captain, it's time to ring in the new year!
Let's go and get started on our first training session!

Happy New Year. It looks like we've safely made it to the beginning of another year.
But I guess we did run into a little trouble along the way!
Hehe. Our travels have been filled with all kinds of ups and downs. I apologize for the trouble.
That said, through it all, we learned that there's nothing we can't overcome if we work together.
At least that's what I think. I look forward to another year with you, (Captain).

We sure have been through some tough times. I'm thankful we're able to reset and reflect on days like today.
It's just a momentary break, but it's a welcome one nonetheless.
Haha. Yes, I'm well aware we don't have time to waste on lounging around, but constantly barreling ahead at full steam is bad for the body.
You always worry me, (Captain), with the dangerous things you get into.
Should I call it bravery—maybe recklessness?
Then perhaps... (Captain), would you care to learn a few techniques? Knowing you're out there fighting with knowledge would—
Haha. Sorry. I was just telling you to take it easy, but here I am also telling you to go as hard as you can.
Seems I need to take this resting business seriously myself.

Sorry, (Captain)... I got lost on the way here and wasn't able to make it in time for sunrise...
The sun's already high and shining.
Hmm? The sunrise is also pretty looking from the mountain path I took to get up here?
Heh, thanks for your reassurance. You're always so kind to me, (Captain).
But I mustn't be spoiled by that kindness.
I'll take this failure to heart and improve myself with a year's worth of activities.
Now then, I guess I should start by leading us down the mountain path.

Keehar

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Today is a continuation of yesterday, tomorrow is a continuation of today, and New Year's Day is a continuation of new Year's Eve.
The present is built by the past and is in turn the reason for the future.
But if we forget the little events that shape our lives, we end up growing more and more listless...
So I think it would be fun to spend New Year's Day thinking about starting a brand new adventure!
Life is a lot longer than the young think! So you better find a way to keep yourself entertained! Ha-ha!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I wonder what adventures wait in store for us!
There might be worry and there might be failure, but there will also be happiness and fun.
I bet this year will have wonderful things waiting just for you, (Captain).
This old man is glad to be of service. Dahahaha!

Rise and shine, (Captain)! It's the start of a fresh new year—and that means the start of a fresh new you!
Listen closely... Time is a fleeting mistress, but we can give meaning to the passage of days with occasions like this.
And that way we can face the start of a new year with a fresh new outlook!
Whoever first established these traditions in the past surely felt the same.
For me, there'd be no greater honor than to leave my mark on this world for future generations... just as they did.
Well... More importantly, I should enjoy my life for the years to come.
So there you have it, (Captain). Wherever the skies take us this year, let's face it together with a refreshed body and mind!

Well, if it isn't (Captain)! Thank you for visiting us here at Raduga so early in the new year.
They say the first person who walks through your door on the first day of the year will symbolize the year ahead.
If it's true, how fortunate my year will be!
Hm? You're not sure what you're supposed to symbolize?
Haha! I suppose it is hard for us to recognize our own value! Allow an old man to tell you what you mean to him.
You're brimming with bravery and kindness, and you're blessed with companions of every sort. Few at your age would go on such a grand adventure.
Thus you symbolize friendship, adventure, and the raw potential of a new year. At least that's the way I see it.
Gahaha! Now that I think about it, you're even more splendid than I thought! Here's to the year ahead, (Captain)! Cheers!

Korwa (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Yeah... I'm a little sleepy. I haven't slept since the date changed.
First I had to jump when the clock struck twelve. Then there was the first shrine visit of the year, and eating a special meal while watching the sun rise...
No time to sleep with all those traditions to get through.
Now I can cross "wish the captain a happy new year" off my list... so I'm going to bed. G'niiight, (Captain).

Hey, (Captain)! A big, warm happy New Year to you! Have you pulled your fortune yet?
If you have, let's share what we got! That's way more fun than keeping it to ourselves!
Afterward we can go chill at our lucky spot, and pick out outfits in our lucky colors!
If your fortune says you need someone to help with your love life, you better believe I'm the one for the job.
I'll tailor a game plan that fits your every need, so don't be afraid to ask!

Are you seeing what I'm seeing, (Captain)? Everyone in town is dressed in their finest!
I've died and gone to fashion heaven! Outfits for special occasions are always so captivating...
In more ways than one! How many people do you think have fallen in love after seeing someone in a new light?
Hehe, maybe a lot of the appeal is because I'm always in school uniform, but you get my point, right?
I should grab the others and get them to dress up too. Wanna come with, (Captain)?
Sweet! I'll get changed and meet you there! Let's kick this new year off right!

Whew... That's that for our first shrine visit of the year. We drew our fortunes, had some sweet sake—the whole shebang.
Guess next is a party at my house! We're gonna have a ton of food prepped, so make sure you show up with an appetite!
What? Did you really think we were done already?
It's not a New Year's celebration unless you've relaxed so hard you become a pile of mush on the floor.
We've still got hot tea to drink, mikan to eat, and a warm kotatsu to snuggle under...
Then once we've got our energy back, it's time for some board games!
We can do our homework together too! The class prez and I promised the Lowain bros we'd tutor them, so you should join us.
Hehe, see what I mean? There's still plenty left to do! Catch you in a bit!

Krugne (SR)

Happy New Year.
Ha-ha-ha. A new year is upon us. Shall we try our luck with a roll of the dice?

Have a roll of the dice, (Captain).
Oh! That's a lucky roll. This year will be a good one.
And that's a fact. The rune dice I made myself are telling you so.
Let's have a good year together, (Captain).

Do I believe in dream divination? What a foolish question, (Captain)...
The only thing I believe in is the rune dice. No matter what I need to predict...
But I've begun to believe in something else since I met you, (Captain)...
Heh-heh... Never mind. It's a little early in the year to be getting sentimental. That's just not me.
But I wish us both luck in the new year. I'll say only that!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Everything okay? Why would you come to me of all people this early in the morning?
You want your fortune told with my rune dice?
Heheh. I hear the New Year's fortune thing they do at the shrines is more popular...
So it's kinda nice to know you'd rather have me tell your fortune.
All right, let's do this.
Here, roll the dice.

Kumbhira (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Ah, the start of a new year. I'd better think of a resolution...
But, wait a minute, what's that large box for?
Wh-whoa! Paper, pencils, tic-tac-toe boards, pin-the-tail on the donkey, fireworks, a ball, and playing cards...
(Captain), it looks like your resolution is to play as many games as possible.
Hehe. I like it. I'll play with you.
But watch out. I've had plenty of practice playing these kinds of games with my brothers and sisters, so I'm pretty good.
So, which one should we start with?

What an impressive shrine. Look at all the visitors today.
It always gets so busy at the Boar Temple when it comes time for New Year's.
Sigh... I hope everyone's okay back there...
All right, I've decided!
I'm going to pray that everyone at the Boar Temple makes it through New Year's okay.
Wha? Shouldn't you pray for yourself before you pray for me?
Ahaha... Maybe we can try offering two prayers.

We made it up the mountain fairly quickly, so there's still time before sunrise.
Are you sleepy? We've been climbing in the dark for a while...
I have hot coffee in my canteen if you want some.
Or would you like to take a nap? I brought a sleeping bag just in case we arrived early.
Don't worry about monsters. I'll keep a lookout and wake you up when it's time.
Ahaha... Is that too much? Sorry, I was so excited I couldn't help but come overprepared.
You want to drink the coffee together? Okay, that sounds good.
We can take our time and reminisce about the past year while we wait.

(Captain)! Happy New Year!
Hm? Oh, this? I wanted to do some calligraphy for the new year, so I'm gathering the supplies for that.
I haven't decided what to write yet, so I'm thinking of just writing whatever comes to mind when I look at the paper...
Wait, I know!
Kumbhira comes up with an idea and begins to move her brush across the paper.
There... Done!
I ended up writing... "Badminton"!
I suddenly remembered I wanted to play badminton with you on New Year's Day, so that's what I wrote.
Hehe. Will you play with me? And of course, whoever loses gets their face doodled on!

La Coiffe (SR)

Happy New Year!
Hee hee, a whole new year starts from this day forward!
I hear there are gardeners on other islands who are still busy even during days like today. It wasn't like that where I grew up, though.
Like, people use pine needles and bamboo to make decorations, apparently.
Hee hee, I wonder what that's like? I really want to try my hand at it myself, sometime!

A shiny, spanking new year is upon us, (Captain)!
Hehe... I just looove this feeling.
You know, when it's kinda cold out, but brisk and refreshing!
I've decided that this year I'm gonna try and act more like a big sister!
A dignified lady, inspiring awe across the sky!
Heh. Nah, I'm just kidding... I don't think I'm ready to act as anyone's big sister just yet.
But you know, I think it'd be really cool...
Hehe... Say, (Captain). Maybe just this once, could you call me your... big sister?
W-wait, wait! I-I was only joking!
Hehehe... Oh, (Captain)... You really are just adorable!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Are you hungry? How about enjoying some osechi with me?
Ehehe... I made it just for you.
Isn't it beautiful? Here's a bamboo leaf, and pine, and aspidistra...
Oh, did you think I was talking about food?
No way. All I prepared were some decorative leafs.
I know it's very simple, but they make food look even more appealing.
Now that I say that... Even these leafs are starting to look tasty!
Ehehe... I'll feed them to you one by one!
Say, "ah!"

Snippity-snip-snip!
Today's the start of an exciting new year, (Captain)!
Ehehe, a bunch of us are preparing a New Year's feast. I'm in charge of vegetables.
I'll be sure to use organic only so that everything's super healthy!
I hope you'll have some and see how refreshing my veggies can be, (Captain).

Ladiva (Holiday)

Oh my! Happy New Year! There's a lot of delicious, healthy food to ring in the new year with, so eat up now!
As for me, I think I'll have a glass of champagne! Cheers!

Oh dear, your eyes look a bit red.
Hehe, late night? That's New Year's for you.
I've prepared a special, nutritious meal to perk you right back up!
It's chock full of my secret ingredient... You guessed it! Love!
Hehe. Eat well, sleep well, and have an amazing new year, okay?

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Have you already had your first dream of the season?
If it was a good one, then you'll have fun all year round!
On the other hand, a bad dream can still help prepare you to get the bad luck out of the way early on.
That's what some people who get bad fortunes at the start of the year do. They keep moving forward regardless and make their own luck.
Am I putting on too much pressure? Haha, I'm just wishing my captain to have the best year possible!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Have you decided on a resolution yet?
My resolution, you say? Well, well...
To love! To love everybody!
Before that, I need to love and take care of my own body and make sure not to catch a cold or hurt myself.
And also remember to smile more... That way I can spread joy to those around me.
I need to prepare myself this year to ensure Ladiva's love reaches lots and lots of people!

Laguna

And what a great new year it'll be!
I'm sure that if we keep traveling together, we'll see all sorts of new places and experience all kinds of great things!
After all, look at everything we did last year! Let's make this year another year to remember.
I look forward to spending more time with you, (Captain).

You're yawning quite an awful lot, (Captain). Did you stay up late last night for the new year?
There's nothing wrong with taking some time off during the new year to renew your strength.
If you'd like, I can prepare some hot milk for you.
A new adventure awaits us tomorrow, so you'll need your energy. Of course, I'll rest up as well.

Happy New Year!
Thanks for having me in your crew. I never would've had the chance to visit and experience so many different locales.
Of course this trip isn't just one big vacation.
Nothing would make me happier than knowing I can help you on your journey, (Captain).
So here's to another fine year of skyfaring together.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hmm? I look sleepy to you?
I guess there's no use trying to hide it... Yes, I accidentally stayed up last night, but I wasn't playing around.
The truth is I got caught up in reminiscing about our journey so far and thinking about what will happen in the future.
With last year coming to a close and a new one just on the horizon...
The feeling of excitement got to me, and it was midnight before I realized it. A bit childish of me maybe, but I couldn't help it.
I prefer to think of it as a natural part of closing the year, and I'd appreicate it if you would too.
But for now, I look forward to the new year with you, (Captain).

Lamretta (Water)

Happy New Year! I'm gonna spend the day purifying my body... in drink!
Okay, time to break out the snacks and hot sake!

Whoo hoo! It's a new year, which means it's time for me to purify my soul the only way I know how! With as much drinks as I can handle!
Glug glug glug glug glug... Whew!
May the drinks this year be even tastier than the last! Hahaha!
Um, (Captain)? Why are you looking at me like that?
Anyway... Let's party just as hard this year too!
Just don't kick me off the ship, okay? Heheh!
With that out of the way... Let's make this another awesome year!

Sigh... What a nice dream...
I was on this nice island with a nice beverage... It tasted like heaven...
Maaan, wish I could drink it again... (Captain), any idea how I could get my hands on it?
If I visit lots of islands, I might find it?
Oh! Guess I found my New Year's resolution!
(Captain), I'm going to go to that island over there and buy all the liquor they have!
H-hey... It was just a joke!
Geez, sorry...
I apologized for just blurting that out, so you don't have to be so grumpy... Okay?

Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Aaaaah!
This is my first drink of the year! (Captain), why you got that big thing with you?
Huh? For the next mission?
B-but the new year just started... And you're already back to work?
Ow! That hurts! Stop giving me that painful look!
O-okay... Okay... I'll help!
There ain't a hangover in the world that that stare wouldn't kick right out of me!
Just don't fire me... Let's have a happy New Year, 'kay!

Lancelot (Event)

Huff... Wheeze... Nghh...
I'm sorry you had to come all the way to this gloomy place for the new year...
But home is where you make it, you could say... So being here is getting easier.
And without a way to train my body, I train my mind instead... I just imagine spreading my wings...

A new year...
Strangely the air feels fresh and light with a new beginning...
Regardless of your circumstances, there's always a desire to make a resolution. Isn't that what today is all about?
What's my resolution, you ask?
Surely it's obvious.
This year I will make my escape...
And I'll raise a glass in celebration with friends... I swear it.

Happy New Year. Thanks for coming all this way to visit me again this year...
I suppose this makes it the third time we've spent New Year's like this...
I had no idea I'd be here this long when I got captured. Who knows what else is waiting for me in this life...
(Captain), how did you spend your New Year's holiday?
Huh? You were in Feendrache? I see... A mission brought you to the kingdom, eh?
Ah, the New Year's celebrations in Feendrache are incredible! The sky fills up with the light and sound of fireworks... Heh-heh, memories bring me back...
Did you see everyone from the Order of the White Dragons?
Oh, really... Well, I'm glad to hear they're all right.
Did you see anything else during your visit then? If it's all right with you, could you tell me how Feendrache is faring?

(Captain) visits a temple crowded with people and hears a familiar voice. They press on to find who it is.

Lancelot: Life is full of ups and downs. And all take the good as they do the bad.
Locked away, beaten, and kept in a cage... All I could think of was how to escape.... And I tested many ways to get out.
And then it hit me. This must be a divine test. Yes... Something to test whether I could arrive at the ultimate truth.
I had to quiet my mind... And listen to the silence. I had to feel the wall at my back... I had to know myself.
Then it all came together.
I was no one. And so I could become anyone!
Now to the point... I wish to tell you all something. Take your hand to your chest and listen.
No rain is unending. No night is eternal. Therefore, hope always exists.
Thank you for your time.

The crowd gives their applause, and in tears, (Captain) claps their hands together lost in awe.

Lancelot and Vane (Summer)

Lancelot: Haaa!
Vane: Whoa!
Ergh! I just can't beat you, Lancey!
Lancelot: But that last blow was really good. I can see the results our training are starting to show.
(Captain), happy New Year. Did you see us sparring?
Vane: Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't see you over there.
Lancelot: You're surprised we're already training when the year has just begun? We actually had this day planned out in advance.
Vane: We're the captain and vice-captain, right? So whenever we go head-to-head people make a fuss.
Lancelot: I've got an idea! Would you like to join us, (Captain)?
Vane: That sounds like a great idea! (Captain), let's spar till we drop!

Vane: And the New Year's feast is ready to be served! Dig in!
Lancelot: Whoa, that looks amazing! Thanks, Vane!
Vane: You too, (Captain). Don't be shy!
Lancelot: This one right here is scrumptious, and this fish as well! You also need to try the beans, and the eggs, and—
Vane: Whoa there, Lancey. I'm glad you like my cooking so much...
But if you put that much on (Captain)'s plate, it's gonna topple over!
Lancelot: Oops, sorry about that. But anything Vane cooks really is delicious, so...
Vane: The feast won't eat itself, so just relax and enjoy the food!
All right, I'm gonna chow down too! Let's see, what should I start with...

Lancelot & Vane: Happy New Year!
Lancelot: You look surprised. Is it our attire? It's the first day of the new year. We thought we'd try dressing for the occasion.
Vane: I actually kind of like formal clothing. Wearing it fills you with this sense of purpose!
Lancelot: Ahem... I shall now proclaim my New Year's resolution!
As captain of the White Dragons, I will strive to be an exemplar to my fellow knights—and do all in my power so that our country of Feendrache may flourish!
Vane: As vice-captain of the White Dragons, I will aid our Captain Lancelot in his duty—and make sure that our knights are never short of good food!
Lancelot: Have you already decided on a resolution, (Captain)?
Vane: That face says you have! Come on, let's hear it!

Lancelot: Hraaagh!
Vane: Oryaaah!
Lancelot: Rgh! The wind blew it away from me!
Vane: Whoo! I win this round!
Oh, (Captain), were you watching the whole time? And before I forget—happy New Year!
Lancelot: You were surprised how intense the match got? Well, we tried not to make too much noise at first...
Vane: I guess we got caught up in the heat of the moment. After all, Lancey's speed is really something else.
Lancelot: Nuh-uh, it's your hard-hitting strikes that deserve all the praise, Vane. I could never hit the shuttlecock back from that far away.
Choose: You're both awesome!
Vane: Oh yeah? Haha, I guess I'm not half bad myself!
Lancelot: Vane, now that (Captain)'s here, why don't we play with the three of us?
Vane: All right. We'll take turns passing the shuttlecock to each other, and whoever drops it first loses. Let's go!

Lecia (Summer)

Happy New Year.
With a new year comes new resolutions... This year I want to continue training, and get just a little bit closer to Father and Monika.

A new year... What should I aim for this year, I wonder.
I'm still continuing my training, so... maybe I should try taking things a little less seriously?
How do you think I should do things this year, (Captain)?
If there's anything you think I should work on, I'd love to hear it!

The first sunrise of the year... It's beautiful.
I should be pretty used to sunrises by now with all the morning training I do...
But there's just something special about today's. I feel refreshed.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Happy New Year, (Captain). May this be your best year yet!

A lot goes into the New Year's meal, doesn't it?
Each dish and each ingredient has its own significance, like good luck or good health for the new year...
Sharing such a meaningful meal with those close to you is the only proper way to begin the new year.
I guess what I want most from you this year is for you to look after yourself...
So I'll research which dishes are supposed to grant you good health!
I'm going to give this ship and her crew everything I've got this year too. Glad to be on board, Captain!

Leona (Yukata)

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I'm looking forward to another good one.
Haha. You're up surprisingly early today.
When Cain decides to skip New Year's, he usually sleeps in until primals know when...
What do you think of early-morning exercise to kick off the year? Care to join me?
I am a warrior after all. I won't put up with lethargy!

Mmph!
Hyaa!
T'aah!
Pant... Pant... Thank you!
Sparring with you on the first morning of the new year... I've got a good feeling this'll be another great year, (Captain).
Everyone should be waking up soon.
I guess that means I have to share you with the others now.
See you later, (Captain)! Let's make this a year to remember!

Ah, the morning sun's especially beautiful today. It seems especially bright, as if signaling new beginnings.
I get the feeling this is going to be a wonderful year.
Haha... (Captain), thanks for joining my morning training from the first day of the new year.
Now why don't we get started?
Okay then...
Ah! W-wait!
I'm so sorry! I forgot to say the most important thing of all!
Happy New Year, (Captain)! It's always a pleasure to be around you!

Phew... Appreciate the training match, (Captain)!
Thanks to you, I've come to a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.
Haha... More than anything else, I'm glad I got to start off the new year by sparring with you, (Captain).
It's something I regularly look forward to. Taking in the refreshing air while training has such a bracing effect on me.
...! Ahaha... That definitely wasn't my stomach growling just now...
Oh, all right. I know I'm not fooling anyone, but...
It's just really embarrassing. I always get so hungry after exercise...

Lilele (Summer)

Happy New Year!
It's the start of a brand new year! How does that make you feel?
I feel fresh and ready to take on whatever this year has in store!
I'm going to keep aiming to be the sky's top idol this year too!
Hm? Why're my goals the same each year?
Well, what's wrong with that! I'm starting afresh each year!
I'll start anew and sing for you this year too.
Every Day Is a New Year's Day!

Lile-Lilele! Happy New Year!
And you know what that means! Ready?
Lilele on the stage. Only for you, it's a New Year's Lilele song.
A special New Year's performance just for you! I'll sing for you. Now and forevermore.
Even if everything else fades away, I hope this song stays with you.
I call it Snow White Calendar.

It's L-L-Lilele! Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I've been counting down the days to today.
Okay, here we go! Three, two, one...
Lilele on the stage! A special New Year's performance just for you!
Recently I've realized: maybe dreams are better left as dreams.
Even if I can't be like Djeeta and the other idols...
I can still bring my songs to as many people as I can.
(Captain), as long as you're by my side, listening to my voice...
I'm sorry! I shouldn't be saying things like that.
I lost track of the real Lilele for a moment there. Let me get back in the saddle.
This is for you... New Year, Old Me.

It's the start of a bright and sparkly new year!
I haven't forgotten my goal of becoming the number one idol in the skies!
Hm? Aside from that, what's my resolution for this year?
Hmm... Let's see...
I know! For you and I to form a duo!
In other words, let's sing together.
Here, let's start off by practicing with this etude.
It's called Welcome the Sun!

Lily (Event)

Happy New Deer! Um, let me try that again...
Happy Stew Year... Okay, one more time! Just one more!
Sigh... Phew...
Here I go... Happy New Year! See, I got it! I'm ready for a year of new happy! Huh?
Whew, this isn't easy. But have no fear! I'll try again next year!

Ha-ppy New Yea-r!
I did it! Last year I kept fudging the words, so this year I practiced a lot.
Okay! Now to say it once and for all! Ready... Go...
Happy New...
Meep!
I fudged it again... I should have practiced adding "ready" and "go" too...
Oh well. Next year I'll get it!

...
Okay, I can do this!
Happy New Year!
Ehehe, it came out perfect this year!
Lyria trained me really hard, and I put in so many hours practicing for it to come out so naturally.
You're impressed? You think I did a good job?
Teehee, I got a compliment from (Captain)!
I'll do my best this year too!

Happy New Year! May we have many more good times together!
Ehehe... There, I said it.
Hng...
Staying up late to welcome in the new year was really fun.
I somehow get the feeling I'll be seeing a really nice dream tonight.
Mm, I can't wait to feast on mochi pie with you and Lyria...
It doesn't matter if I'm in bed, or if I'm up and about... I feel blessed either way....
Zzz...

Lina

Happy New Year!
I'm happy to spend this day with you, (Captain)!
The beginning of the year really brings back old memories, the kind that make me tense up!
Ahaha. I mean, being a shopkeeper's daughter and looking like this, I kinda get self-conscious.
Hehe. Anyway, let's have another great year!

Lowain (Event)

All Three: Out with the old... and into the happy new year!
Tomoi: Which reminds me, y'all decided on a New Year's resolution yet?
Lowain: Mine should be obvious, dude—landing the goal with Kat!
Elsam: But that's no different from last year. Think bigger. man! Try something more real!
Lowain: What, you guys have plans already too?
Tomoi: Saving up cash for me! Rupies get you everywhere in life, man!
Elsam: Whoa, talk about coincidence! That's a big hit with girls these days too, you know.
Lowain: Meh, could you guys be any lamer... Don't you think so, Captain?
All Three: Give us some New Year's money please!

Elsam: Gahaha! You guys gotta check out this greeting card from what's-his-face back from my hometown! He gushes about his kid!
Lowain: A former player turnin' into a dotin' parent type of thing? Oh shoot, check out those child handprints. Totes adorbz, man.
Tomoi: Now it's his turn to give money to kids whenever New Year's rolls around. It's, like, generosity city.
Elsam: How 'bout we send the kid some money too? We never said congrats for the guy's wedding; this'd make up for it.
Lowain: Sounds like a plan. I'll throw in my life's savings.
Tomoi: ...
Two rupies? Four from Sammy and twenty from me... Wait, this ain't even enough to pay for postage...
Lowain: Don't throw in the towel yet! There's gotta be somethin' we can do with twenty-six rupies!
Ah, (Captain)!
All Three: New Year's money please!

Tomoi: Got a New Year's card from what's-his-face. Dude practically wrote a book about his kid, man. Sent me, like, three pages worth of stuff.
Lowain: That's crazy. Kid's handprint is already this much bigger than last year's.
Elsam: Hella crazy. We can't let this daddio show us up.
Tomoi: Time to go hunt for a partner then.
Lowain: Is this the year I suit up and propo—
Put a ring on Kat?
Elsam: We could ask Korwa to make you a suit fit for a king.
Tomoi: How much cash you guys got?
Lowain: Ten rupies.
Elsam: I win. Twenty for me.
Tomoi: So with my hundred that makes a hundred thirty. That's like five times what we scraped up last year. We in the big leagues now, boys.
Lowain: Nah, that ain't even enough to buy a look from Korwa.
Elsam: Sounds like a job for (Captain)!
The Trio: New Year's money please!

Lowain: Whoooaaa! Look at this New Year's card!
Tomoi: What'd what's-his-face send this time? Is his kid's handprint even bigger than ours this year?
Lowain: Nope. There's another tiny one.
Tomoi & Elsam: What!
Lowain: This is no joke. Dude's lapped us twice already.
Tomoi: Okay, okay, check it. You gotta send him back a card with a big ol' happy family portrait. Mom, Dad, and Baby makes three.
Lowain: Y'mean, like, we steal some rando's family portrait, and paint our faces over theirs? That's so crazy it just might work.
Elsam: Yeah. Might be our best plan yet. But, uh, who's gonna be the baby?
Lowain: Gotta be Sammy, right? I betcha Lunie could whip us up a pretty badass portrait. Dunno if we can afford her, though...
Tomoi: I got the medicine. Lunie's been lookin' for models to polish up her drawing skills. She even said she'd shell out!
Lowain: I don't know if we've got that X-factor... But maybe we can sit still long enough to earn ourselves a portrait.
Elsam: Just in case the modeling fee ain't enough to pay for it... (Captain)!
The Trio: New Year's money, por favor!

Lucius (Fire)

Happy New Year.
Whenever a new year arrives, I reflect on everything that's happened on my journey up to that point. Where will my path take me?

Happy New Year.
Take this time to reflect on your future course.
(I myself have taken many lives... That's something I can never forget.)
Use your time wisely so as not to live with regret later on, (Captain). That's all I wanted to say.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
What? You seem surprised.
Perhaps you've noticed the change in me, my decision to start down a new path in life.
I don't intend to brood forever after all.
As long as I continue on my previous path, I'll only know struggle.
So please keep watching over me and Teena as you have been.

The morning sun is dazzling, (Captain).
During my long stint in the prison that was revenge, I hardly ever bothered to lift my head toward the sky.
It's probably been ages since I last saw the sun in this way. What a sight it is.
I have you to thank for showing me the importance of moving forward.
I'm eternally grateful. I hope this year serves you well.

Ludmila

Ahahaha! Happy New Year! I bet you'll get to eat some delicious fungus this year! Haha!
Huh? Oh, that? Hahaha! It's just some food I made to celebrate! Hahaha!
Haha! Of course there's loads of mushrooms in it! Who do you think made it? Hahaha!
Hehehe. Take a bite and let me know how delicious it is. Bwahahaha!

Ahaha! (Captain), happy New Year!
Hehehe! This year I made some more fungus osechi!
Ahaha! But this year, I've added new varieties to the-hehe-mix!
Hahaha! Don't worry! There aren't any poisonous mushrooms in this! Hehe!
How do I know? Ahaha! That's easy!
Hehehe! I taste-tested this food myself!
So eat up with no worries! Ahaha!

Bwahahaha! Happy New Year!
I made some New Year's feast and mochi soup this year! Ahaha!
Why don't you—hehe—eat some too? Hehehe... Ahahaha!
I used some special dried mushrooms for the stock—hahaha—and it tastes pretty good! Ahahahaha!
Bwahahaha! Ha... Haa... Haha! D-don't worry about me.
I just haven't stopped laughing since I tasted the soup! Hehe, hahahaha!

Hehe, hehehe! Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year! Wahaha!
What am I doing up so early? Heh, I wanted to get fresh mushrooms to cook with, heehee!
Aha, hahaha! So I went up into the mountains, hehe, and, haha, grabbed some!
Found a really weird bunch, heehee, hehehe! So my New Year's is off to a really great start, ahaha!
It's a real tasty mushroom, hehe, perfect for osechi!
Pffft, haha! I'll make sure to share some of it with you, ahaha!
It'll be cooked real well, promise. Hehe, ahaha!
Sorry, haha, I'm just so happy about it, I can't control myself, bwahaha!

Lyria (Event)

Happy New Year.
I'm sure this year will be filled with all kinds of fun too!

Happy New Year!
Our journey was pretty tough last year, but I had lots of fun too!
I wonder what this year will bring...
Maybe new places to go... Or new friends to meet! It's all so exciting!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hehe! Just thinking about another year's beginning makes me so excited!
I'm so happy I get to spend another year with you!
(Captain), I hope this year is just as amazing as the last was!

Happy New Year.
Ahahaha! For the first morning of the new year, I overslept just a little bit...
But spending down time with everyone like this is also fun.
Spending time with you, (Captain), in busy times or relaxing times is always something that I love!
Let's make this year the best year possible for everyone!

Mahira (Event)

Ugh... So sleepy... Oh, good morning, (Captain).
Last night, for the first time in my life, I stayed up all the way through New Year's.
I sure have grown a lot... Hehehe. I can't wait to brag to my family about it!

Happy New Year! Did you see the rise of the first dawn?
I stayed up all night long this year! This is the second year I've been able to do that! I'm such an adult.
Or... was that all a dream? Oh well, maybe next year I'll be able to see the sun rise.

Happy New Year. I look forward to another fun year together.
You're wondering if I was able to wake up yesterday?
Teehee. I actually made a device to help me with that. I call it the Wakey-Clucky.
I set it to sound off and peck me on the chin at a specific hour.
But we entered the new year as I was building the device.
Though I was technically awake the entire time, I felt no sense of accomplishment...
I guess I'll have to wait till the next New Year's to actually use the Wakey-Clucky.

Mm... (Captain)? Good morning...
Wait... Why are you the one waking me up?
What about the Wakey-Clucky? Hmm? Seems like it went off on time.
Oh, I see. It was too quiet, and I didn't hear it.
Thanks for waking me up instead, (Captain).
But this is no good. Before we go watch the sunrise, could you wait a second? I just need to tweak the Wakey-Clucky.

Malinda (Event)

Malinda: Gyoo gyoo, gyooyoo!
Vania: Happy New Year, Bloodkin!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo!
Vania: What's that, Malinda? You say you want a present for New Year's?
Malinda: Gyoo?
Vania: Good idea! I want one too! Pony up, Bloodkin!
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo! Gyoo!

Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: Aha! Malinda thinks playing with you on New Year's Day is even more fun than chasing butterflies!
And I think so too! Heeheehee!
Malinda: Gyooo!

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo!
Vania: Wah! You're going to show us the first laugh of the year?
Watch Malinda closely, (Captain)!
Malinda: Gyoo.
Vania: Huh? You bowed? Um, are you pretending to be Feldrac?
Ahahaha! You're sooo cute! We have to go show this to him!
Malinda: Gyoo.
Vania: Ahahaha!

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo!
Vania: Hm? A New Year's prayer?
Wow! How do you even know about such a thing, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyogyoo! Shloop, shloop!
Vania: So you think we'll have a good year if we stick our tongues out? And the better a job we do, the better our fortunes?
Okay then, I'll give it a shot!
C'mon, you too, Bloodkin!
Blegh!
Malinda: Shloop!
Vania: Bleeeegh!
Malinda: Shlooooooop!
Vania: Whoa, we can't stick out our tongues the way you do, Malinda! This is beyond us!
Meh! Hehe, you're the silliest dragon there ever was, Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo!

Mariah

Happy New Yeaaawn. Phew. I stayed up all night, and now I can't keep my eyes open.
Wanna take a nap?

Happy New Year! It's not because of any particular change, but the new year always feels refreshing.
What's my New Year's resolution? Hmm, good question.
I suppose I'll try to be less of a burden on you and Lyria.
I'm going to live life to the fullest, and cherish every second of it.
Huh? Yeah, you do have a point. I should already be doing that, not just aiming for it as a resolution...
Ack! You're right, I'm sorry! I won't be reckless in life! I promise!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
This line up of grub to ring in the new year is so good!
Assorted greens, cakes, stew... Oh, and you can't forget the drinks! Already got a full plate, eh?
I know it feels great to loaf around at home, doing nothing but eating and drinking.
But it doesn't do the body good, haha.
Oh, you want to have a mini sports tournament then?
I'm game. Let's take this outside. Don't come crying to me if you lose though.

(Captain), happy New Year!
It's cold outside and because I stayed up, I'm sleepy. These are the perfect conditions for an afternoon nap!
But first I want to eat some osechi. Then after that I'll have some rice cakes boiled with vegetables...
That's the plan!
After that I'll go visit a temple to celebrate the first day of the year!
(Captain), how about you join me on this relaxed New Year's day! It'll be fun!

Mary (SR)

Happy New Year! Say, wanna go check our New Year's fortunes?
The word fortune just has a great ring to it, you know!

Oh. Are you awake? Good morning... Oops! Happy New Year!
Today's just another day. I mean, there's no big diff between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day...
But for some reason, it feels special. I even woke up at dawn... Ha-ha! You too?
But in truth, today is special because every day is special. It's easy to forget though...
Or whatever! Oh, let me know when you're up and ready. Wanna go get our New Year's fortunes?

Happy New Year! Let's make this year another good one, (Captain).
Heh... Another good one... It's a little unusual for me to stick around this long with someone...
Ah, you see... until I met you and the crew, I'd only team up with people for short spurts.
But journeying with all of you has taught me all sorts of things... Like what it means to pull together and look out for each other.
Taking without giving is not my thing though. So, for all that you've given me, I'll pay you back tenfold. Promise!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Here's to another fun-filled year.
What do you say we visit the shrine today?
I can't wait to check our New Year's fortunes!
I love checking that stuff. Can't say I exactly believe in it though.
But seeing a positive forecast for my fortunes is such a great feeling.
And a negative forecast tells me I need to watch out. So it works out either way.
Besides, testing lady luck is how I prefer to live my life!

Meg (Event)

Ursula! Make sure you don't go biting anyone else's kite!
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year.
Ursula got so excited seeing those kites blowing in the wind. She probably mistook them for other flying sharks.
I tied a string to Ursula's tail fin so she could pretend to be a kite. It also works as a leash just in case anything happens.
Ursula's an important friend, so I try to share in some of her interests.
I hope you can become good friends with Ursula too, (Captain). I'm looking forward to another great year with the crew.

Great timing, (Captain)! I was just making some treats for New Year's. Think you could taste this for me?
As requested, (Captain) gives the food a taste.
How is it? I'm pretty confident that it turned out well.
The taste's plainer than you'd expected? Then that's perfect!
Oh, did I not tell you? This is for Ursula.
I'm not sure what Ursula likes exactly, but lighter seasoning is probably better health-wise.
Sorry for not explaining! But don't worry, I've got something prepared for you too!
Here, this one's yours! Dig in!

No, no, no! I'm gonna be late!
Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'll find anywhere!
Or that's what I thought, until I found myself in a skyfaring crew and suddenly everything changed! There's still a lot I have to learn, but I'm doing my best!
Eep!
Ouch.. Geez, watch where you're going!

  • Choose: No, you!
    What'd you say!
  • Choose: Are you all right, my little kitten?

Huh? Wait... (Captain)?
S-sorry about that... I'm supposed to be getting a New Year's card from Mari in the mail, so I got ahead of myself and just started running...
H-happy New Year! I-I-I'll see you around! Sorry about what happened!
Ack, I went and bumped into (Captain) of all people, right from New Year's! I'm so clumsy... Talk about a crazy start!
Just what's gonna happen to me this year!

No, no, no! I'm gonna be late!
Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'll find anywhere!
I'm an eighteen-year-old plain Jane member of (Captain)'s crew who definitely doesn't stand out.
Everyone else on the crew though is amazing. I have my hands full just trying not to get in their way...
Eek!
Ouch... Watch where you're going, Meg!

  • Choose: Silly girl.
  • Choose: A sea urkin's stuck in your hair.

Urk... (Captain)!
I'm s-so, so sorry! I was afraid I'd be late for my meetup with Mari at the shrine, and...
Gah! Meg, you big dum-dum! Is vacationing the only thing in your head? Goofing up already on the first day of the new year?
Here's hoping this is not a sign of things to come!

Meteon (Event)

What're you up to in here, (Captain)? Making a resolution for the new year? Ahh...
Perfect timing. Let me get in on this. Huh? You're surprised I'm doing this kind of thing? I make resolutions too, y'know.
It's important to set goals. Just throwing resolutions out there without seriously going after them isn't how I do things.
How do I put this... It helps put things in focus for me. Making your resolutions come true is all up to you.
Either way, I like the feeling of working towards something one step at a time.

Ah, (Captain). There you are.
I was wondering if you'd wanna go for a ride and see the morning sunrise. You know, to start the year off right.
Flying across glistening fields of snow as the light of dawn dissolves into the white powder, illuminating the sky—there's nothing quite like it.
It's a spectacular sight... I want you to see it with me.
So come on, let's go for a ride! What do you say?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I don't mind just taking it easy on an occasion like this, but...
Filling ourselves with New Year's treats and then slacking under a kotatsu all day...
Isn't gonna do our bods any favors!
Hahaha! Put on too much weight, and you're gonna have trouble getting into the cockpit of a speedship.
Best watch out!

Wow, you're pretty good, (Captain)! It's catching the wind pretty well and staying up there.
You know, flying a kite might look easy at first glance, but it actually takes a bit of skill to get it going.
And if you let it catch too much wind, it'll rip right out of your hands and fly away...
Whoa, watch out!
Phew... Are you okay? I know you're having fun chasing after the wind, but you've got to watch where you're going still.
I know I'd rather not see you ironically fall to the bottom of a cliff because you're busy staring at the sky.

Milleore

Another year gone by, eh?
I've never stayed in one place for this long before. Can't say I don't like it around here.
Well, here's to another year, (Captain).

Happy New Year! Another one for the record books.
I wonder if they're doing the same thing right now... Hm? It's nothing. Just some personal stuff.
I've probably talked about them before. My best friend. And I just suddenly remembered them...
We always spent the new year together, so watching the sunrise really brought back memories.
Next year I'll probably end up thinking of you, (Captain).
You... and memories of watching the sunrise like this. Together. Let's make this a good one.

Happy New Year.
...
It's funny... I used to think I'd be just fine being alone, but now I can't imagine spending the new year without you.
The times I've seen with my best friend, the times I've seen with you...
I'm collecting more and more precious memories all the time.
There may be a day I'll have to part with you and the crew...
But even then, I'll still remember the times we shared.
...
Nothing. Just talking to myself. Here's to another good year.

Happy New Year.
Is something wrong? What's that scowl for?
Are you concerned about what I said last year? That there will come a day when I leave this crew? I might've said something like that.
But I have no intention of departing anytime soon. I'm satisfied with my pay, and our relationship isn't bad.
So we're not about to become enemies. You can relax about that.
To put it a bit differently, I like you.
Let's make this year a good one, (Captain).

Mimlemel and Pun-Kin (Halloween)

Mimlemel: I'm ready to see the first surise of the new year, but my wheels might as well be on grease.
Pun-Kin: Zzz... Mmng... Just five more minutes of nappy time, please, Princess...

Mimlemel: Snooze...
Pun-kin: Princess! Time to get up way early before the first sunrise of the year!
Princess? Um... Is that a no-go for the sunrise?

Mimlemel: I got to see the New Year's sunrise. Nice job, me.
Pun-kin: Hey, don't I deserve some praise too for waking up so early? Mng... Yawn...
Mimlemel: Huh? Why does the carriage suddenly feel so much weightier?

Pun-Kin: Princess! I want to try going to the shrine for New Year's!
Why don't we invite (Captain) and go together?
Mimlemel: I'm tired. New Year's is a busy day. I watched the sunrise, then ate some food to celebrate.
Time to focus on recovering. I'm staying home for the rest of the holiday.
Pun-Kin: What, you're going back to sleep, Princess? Come on, let's go visit the shrine and get our fortunes told!

Mimlemel and Stumpeye

Mimlemel: I want cake...
Stumpeye: Wait. Cake's bad fer yer teeth. Have some fruit instead.

Mimlemel: Pfff... Pfff... No sound. Is it broken again?
Stumpeye: Girl, that ain't Hornsby. It's a buncha bamboo glued together. Now rinse out yer mouth and eat some New Year's snacks.

Mimlemel: Sleeping-in... Totally sleeping-in...
Stumpeye: That's a big no-no, Mim! You'll catch a cold sleeping on toppa me! At least crawl into a futon, would ya!
(Captain)! I'll carry her over to the futon, and yer gonna tuck her in!

Mimlemel: Fortune-telling? Meh...
Stumpeye: C'mon, Mim! It's all part of the New Year's fun and games.
Stumpeye: Maybe you can help out, (Captain)! Can I trouble ya to draw a fortune slip in her place?
Stumpeye: Try to pick out a lucky one if ya can!

Mimlemel

New Year!
Is that for me? Yeah, I'll take it.

I don't want to go outside. Tootle-too.
Tootle-too!
I just want to sleep.

Here's a New Year's card. I wrote my name on the back. I'll leave what's inside up to you, okay?

This year's resolution?
Tweedle-deedle-doo!
There. Very lofty if I do say so myself.

Mina

Happy New Year.
It's time for a fresh start. Have you already decided what your resolution is?
My resolution... is to make sure both the Sky Knights and this crew have a safe year ahead.
I'll give it my all. That's what I'll do.
You know, the more time I spend with you, the harder it's become to be apart from the crew.
Though I know it's my duty to lend my strength to Albert and the Sky Knights...
Lately I've wanted to help out more and more around here.
Hehe. Let's make it another great year, (Captain).

Oh, it's you, (Captain). You're up early this morning—it's still before dawn.
So am I? Well, maybe you're right—
Maybe I'm not in any position to talk.
Once the sun comes up, the town is going to come to life. I was just sitting here in silence so that I could be ready.
Aaah, the night's almost come to an end. Happy New Year, (Captain).
As long as I'm a part of your crew, I'll do everything that I can to serve you all. Take good care of my sisters again this year if you would.

Happy New Year! Please keep watching over my little sisters this year... even if they are a bit annoying sometimes.
Yes, I'm letting them sleep in.
We were out patrolling late at night, and it's not every day that they get to rest. They deserve this.
You don't need to worry about me. The brisk wind woke me up early this morning.
A walk with you, (Captain)? Ah, sure... I wouldn't mind that.
(Was (Captain) worried about whether I'm getting enough time off? That's so considerate.)
(That must be one reason that Albert trusts the captain. What a deep person.)

Happy New Year.
As the sun rises on this first day of the new year, I've been thinking about the type of person I want to be.
I have to keep improving myself, to be the best sister I can be, to be the best acting captain I can be.
Speaking of which, do you plan on refining your equipment, (Captain)?
It's just I also planned on upgrading mine as well.
You're right. If we plan together, then we can proceed more efficiently.
(How strange. I had the feeling that if I waited here, (Captain) would show up.)
(Have I suddenly grown reliant on the captain?)
(I will have to devote myself to greater training so I can repay my debts.)

Mirin (Light)

Good morning! Want to come look at this kadomatsu? It's a new year's decoration!
Don't you think the bamboo is really interesting? It's cut diagonally at a nice angle. But who do you think sliced this one?
Haha! Nope, not me! It was actually Katalina.
It's already the new year... Can you believe it? Time flies when you're traveling!

(Captain)! Happy New Year!
Embracing the new year while in a foreign land is as equally refreshing as it was back in my country.
I can't say if it's the overall atmosphere or whatnot, but there must be some sort of commonality that all places in the world share.
I'm reminded of the festive New Year's celebrations back home.
In my hometown, everyone would revel in the family get-togethers.
We'd partake in yummy food in addition to all sorts of fun and games, like Pin the Tail on the Donkey...
You're not familiar with it? I'll show you next time we get a chance. I hope you're looking forward to it.

The new year's here, (Captain)!
And here's a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, as promised!
So, to play, first you hang up this big picture of a donkey...
Then you take this tail and—you see how this end is sticky? You try to attach it to the donkey's behind.
I wouldn't be so confident. It's harder than it looks.
Eh? You don't see what's so hard about it?
Oh, I forgot! We need to blindfold you!
Now let's see you try to pin the tail on the donkey!
Ahahahaha! No, that's my face! Ahahahaha! That tickles!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! This may be a little early, but I challenge you to the first duel of the year!
Ta-da! Sugoroku! In my hometown, sugoroku's a classic game for New Year's. Behold!
Hehe, I know what you're thinking... This sugoroku set looks a bit special, doesn't it?
This is actually something I made together with Mother and Father when I was little. It's one of a kind!
We made it with a fantastical setting, taking place in a cruel world where you must endure the harsh penalties written on each space... A game of life and death!
A penalty where everyone tickles you, and one where you get sandwiched between other people... Or the one where your nose gets tickled...
Let's get everyone in the crew to play together! Hehe. To battle!

Mishra

Wouldn't it be a great way to start the new year by admiring my beauty?
Hehehe, I know that feeling all too well.
It's the feeling of rebirth, of wanting to see something of incredible beauty. That's just the natural order of things.
Thus you may gaze at me to your heart's content.
...
...
Hmm?
Have you already had your fill? How humble of you.


Happy New Year... is what I should be saying, but more importantly, what are you wearing?
Your clothes are stained and your hair is absolutely outrageous.
Listen up. Beauty is an art you must work each day to perfect.
That you cannot even arrange yourself properly is a sign that you lack discipline in this art!
What? This year you want to be properly educated in all things beauty?
Well, I never... I must praise you on your efforts to better yourself.
All right... This year I expect you to show me how knowledgeable you become in the art of beauty.
I hope that you will at least learn to find attire that is becoming of the beautiful.

The first day of the new year is the key to what follows. Or so they say.
Gather the other crew members.
In a civilized manner, I need to inspect everyone to see how committed they are to beauty.
If anyone should have less than perfect skin from staying up too late at night, or eating too much, or show any other signs of decay...
Hehe... They will not escape my wrath so easily.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I hope you continue to put effort into understanding beauty this year.
Speaking of which, you look supremely tired. Did you pull an all nighter over the new year?
Hehe. You don't have to be so reckless. But I won't criticize you further than that.
Here, this is a new medicine I synthesized.
My goal was to create a poultice capable of blasting the patient's sleepiness into the stratosphere.
Of course, I still need to test its effects on a willing and sleep deprived guinea pig... Looks like my look has turned around in the new year.
Don't be shy. Drink this whole flask. Down the hatch now.

Morphe and Phoebe (Event)

Phoebe: Spoogly googly... Wheee!
Morphe: Phoebe! Stop lying around! The new year is here!
Phoebe: There's no better way to spend New Year's than sleeping at home, you know.
Yawn... You should go to sleep too, Captain.
I'll use my powers to make sure your first dream of the New Year is extra special.
Morphe: Hey! (Captain), Phoebe, get up! I want to go and see the fireworks!

Morphe: Wow... The first light of the new year is amazing, right, Sis? Right, (Captain)?
Phoebe: Uh... It's pretty... cold...
Morphe: Hey! Sis, you scared me... Why'd you gotta go and cling to me out of nowhere?
Phoebe: Shiver... My back is still cold...
(Captain)... Hold me... from behind...
Morphe: Golly, Sis... You just want us to baby you all the time. That's no good!
Phoebe: Shiver... Hold me!
Morphe: Hey! That hurts! Let go of me!

Phoebe: Zzz... Hehe...
Morphe: Aw, c'mon, Sis. Don't tell this is what you meant by "taking it easy on New Year's..."
Ah! (Captain), happy New Year!
Here's to another great year!
Phoebe: Zzz... Teehee...
Morphe: Phoebe sure seems to be having a lot of fun. I wonder what kind of dream she's having.
Have you already had your first dream of the year, (Captain)?
Maybe you can have my sis tell your fortune when she wakes up!
Phoebe: (Captain)... Lyria... Morphe... Happy... New... Zzz...

Morphe: Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year! Let's have another great year!
Phoebe: Slappy New-New!
Morphe: Phoebe! New Year's greetings are important. You have to say it properly!
Phoebe: Jamil taught me that one, so I'm sure it's proper!
Morphe: He did? Well... If he said it, then it can't be as casual as I thought...
Phoebe: Anyway, (Captain), Syr's going to teach us how to fly a kite. Would you like to join us?
Morphe: Yeah, would you? We'd love to have you!
Morphe: Phoebe, when did we add kite to Raduga's menu? Did somebody catch some on the last island? I can't wait to see what they taste like!

Naga

Happy New Year, (Captain)
I've heard that on an island somewhere it's tradition to give envelopes full of money for New Year's.
Hehe. You know, I wouldn't mind getting one of those from you sometime.
What? That's only something parents give to their children? Don't be so stingy, Captain. Well, in any case, have a happy new year.

Happy New Year.
The reason I'm able to celebrate this new year is you, (Captain). It's all thanks to you.
When I was facing times of desperation, you saved me. And for that I thank you.

Scathacha asked me why people celebrate New Year's.
To a true dragon, which lives eons, the passing of a year might seem no different than the passing of a single day.
When I spoke with her about that, I had to remind myself she isn't exactly human.
I guess it's a good sign that I forgot about that. She just acts so normal now!
And with both her and you around, I want to ring in as many new years as I can.

Happy New Year. I'm beyond joyous that we'll enter the new year in good health and spirits.
You never know what can happen in life. I may be young, but I know this.
It's imperative that we endure times of trouble in order for us to truly treasure those peaceful moments.
Ahem, I seem to have gotten carried away. Preaching on the first day of the new year... My apologies, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain).
The first sunrise of the year is more beautiful than any other.
To be able to gaze upon it with everyone warms my heart.
Yet I do not know how many New Year's sunrises I'll be able to gaze upon in the years to come.
If it were up to me, I'd be the first and the last to fall.
Nonetheless I shall do my utmost to ensure that every member of our crew is able to enjoy this magnificent view next year.
Worry not. I have no intention of endangering my life. I merely spoke of my resolve.

Narmaya (Valentine)

Happy New Year!
Say, (Captain)... Wanna go watch the sunrise together?
It's a little far from here, but the mountain I used to be cooped up in had the prettiest sunrises.
When I think about the possibility of watching a sunrise like that with you, (Captain), I... well...
It fills my heart with glee, honestly. So, (Captain)? Looking forward to watching the sunrise with me?
Hee hee! Then let's go!

I'm making New Year's mochi!
Which kind do you want, (Captain)? How would you like it to be cooked?
Whatever I like? Aw, you're so nice, (Captain).
In that case, you'll have a full course of mochi! I'll be back with them in a second, so just sit tight.

(Captain)... Will you listen to your big sister's little problem?
See, I'm a fair bit shorter than you aren't I? Even though I'm supposed to be the big sister here...
Because of that, I can't cuddle you right when it's cozy time...
So... do you think it would be weird if my resolution this year is to get taller?
Or... do you think I could ask you to crouch down for me when we cuddle?
Ehehe. Well, problem solved, then!
All right! Time to give your big sister a hug!

There's a good-luck katana known as the goshintou...
That cleaves through misfortune for a path to prosperity.
The katana I use isn't meant for such a feat, but...
Maybe I can be your good-luck charm for the year if you don't mind, (Captain).
I'll be sure to safeguard you from anything and everything.
Here's to another fantastic year of skyfaring, (Captain)!

Nezahualpilli (SR)

Happy New Year!
Ahh, the start of a new year is always so refreshing! Let us raise our glasses in celebration!

The new year signals a fresh start for everything.
It doesn't mean we're starting over from scratch. Rather, consider it a fresh perspective on things.
I am proud to welcome this day with you.
Here's to another fantastic year, (Captain)!

Hm... The sunlight of the new year always brings out the purity in my heart. Do you not feel the same way, (Captain)?
Ah, you must be sound asleep. It's not so often I get to take such a close look at your face... You've truly matured.
Our journey continues as usual tomorrow, (Captain). But now it's time for rest; you've certainly earned it.
Yawn... Perhaps I should get in a few winks as well.

How bright the sun of the first morn shines!
As the sun gives us clarity of sight, in the same way do I hope to light a way for my people.
Just like you do.
You are like a beacon of hope for us, (Captain). I speak for all the crew on this.
I long to see my people once again. This time as one worthy to be their chieftain.
Haha. I think that qualifies as a New Year's resolution.
This is going to be the year, (Captain). I know it!

Nicholas (Event)

It's a new year already? Wow, I've been a crew member for a long time.
Thanks for having me, (Captain). Being here has allowed me to accomplish everything I could've hoped for.
And thanks to the amazing test facilities, I've been able to improve my suit's capabilities, too!
Right, then! Let's usher in the dawn of another great year!

Hey there, (Captain)! The new year has begun!
What's my goal this year? Hmm... Let me think... Oh! I want to be more involved in helping you get things done!
I want to be in charge of supervising. Like watching you all work and making sure everyone comes home safely.
It must be the mechanical engineer in me. I watch things get made, and I watch the machines in action. I never want to see anyone get injured...
I guess I have the same feelings about the factory as I do for the battlefield.
So... Take me on more missions! Here's to looking at you, kid!

Happy New Year.
This year's resolution, huh... Don't upset Marie, I guess.
Hahaha... Nothing funny about it though.
This one time Dr. Rashomon, Hallessena, and I made a miniature Gigantes, and...
Well, we used a lotta red steel... The three of us got a real earful from Marie.
Hooo... That gave me goosebumps.
So this year, I'll change my ways and be more careful she doesn't find out...
Ah! Wait, you didn't hear that!
(Captain)! Please! Promise me you won't tell her!
Haha...

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Looks like we made it one more spin around the sky!
I have to say, this time of year is always a struggle. For some reason I get more repair calls than I know what to do with.
I guess everyone is pushing their machines too hard, maybe even ignoring the little warning signs along the way.
It might be a little busy, but I get to see all sorts of breakdown. Always a great chance to learn.
Machines are like living creatures. Lots of weak points that are hard to see just from a quick look.
It's all about looking at the design and seeing where you can make improvements. Nothing beats the feeling of stumbling upon the perfect solution.
Like right now I'm designing a robot that won't require maintenance for ten years! My resolution is to finish it! Haha!

Noa

Happy New Year.
So, (Captain), are we all ready to go for a stroll to the shrine?
Oh dear. You look sleep-deprived. Just what were you up to last night...
Ah, you stayed up late with Rackam and the others.
Hmm, you can't go out in public looking like that, sleepyhead.
Go wash your face and get ready. I'll wake up Rackam and the others in the meantime.

Happy New Year. Very well, let's go, then. No, not to the temple.
Hehe. You sure look mystified right now.
I'd like you to accompany me to the annual celebration of our ship before its first flight of the year.
This ceremony is extremely important for the ship.
And as the captain, I would like you to be there alongside Rackam as he stands at the helm.
Hehe. But don't worry. It's not exactly a formal affair.
The first winds of the new year will be glorious. As long as you have a good time, I'll be very pleased.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I assume you've gotten your fortune for the year already?
You can't overlook the fact that navigating the skies requires a bit of luck here and there.
Besides, who wouldn't be happy with a positive outcome?
Well, whatever the outcome, good or bad, I'll always be with you and the Grandcypher.
That's why I want you to continue your journey with peace of mind.

Happy New Year.
So what do you say we take our first flight of the year? Beginnings are everything after all.
It could be fun to wish for good fortune with a jaunt through the sky, and divine our fate this year in the clouds there.
It wouldn't be fair to keep Rackam waiting! What do you say we get going?

Novei

Happy New Year!
Hey, Captain! You look bored stiff standing out here like this... You need something to do?
Why don't we go out for a New Year's feast? I'm starving!
C'mon, I know a great place! What's that? I'm being awfully casual?
What can I say? Augusta's influence must be rubbing off on me.
Anyhow, it's my treat, Captain!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hehe. Last year things got a little out of hand, so this year I plan on taking it easier.
Shall I play you a song? I'll put my soul in it to welcome the new year for you!
A superb tone echoes across the deck of the Grandcypher.
Hehe. I'd call that a successful performance. Well, it's almost time for the banquet to start. Let's head back.
The two head back to enjoy the New Year's feast. Time gets away from them, and night soon falls.
Haha. I win again! This liquor that Tina always complains about isn't so hard to drink after all.
Huh? (Captain)? Yay! Happy New Year! Not drinking? Here, have a sip of mine!
The party's almost over? What're you talkin' about? It's just getting started! But I feel kind of dizzy...
Aaah... (Captain), your arm's really warm... Snooze...
Hehe... I win... Snore...

Caaaptaaain! Happy Neeew Yeeear! Hic!
C'mon, (Captain), less shing! Anna one, anna two... Whoa, whoa, whoa... Whoooa, whoooa, whoa...
Whuh, this? Issa shong Lyria taught me. Lyria's voishe iss shooo purty...
Nuh-uh. Donn wann enny water. Now shing, (Captain)! Shiiing!
Whoooa, whoa, whoooa! Whoa, whoa, whoooaaa!
Yeeeaaah! Happy Neeew Yeeeaaar!
Gyeeheehee... Zzz... Snort... Zzz... Sho... happy...

Zzz... Mmm... I can't... drink anymore...
Mm... (Captain)? Huh? I fell asleep? I wasn't... ashuleep!
Why you... If you shay that... C'mere!
Hahaha! You make... a cooomfy... bed...
Shooo... waaarm... Mmm...
Me likey...

Olivia (Event)

Happy New Year. Let's make this year better than the last, (Captain).
Haha. This is my first time to celebrate the beginning of a year.
Perhaps it's because I'm a primal beast. I've lived for so long... One year passes as quickly as one second.
However, it is interesting. The days I've spent with you do not feel so fast.
Perhaps your crew has captured my attention.
When I am with you and the others, I learn so many new things. It's all extremely interesting.
(But is that because (Captain) is the singularity?)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
We're celebrating yet another new year together. It feels...
Ah, never mind. I look forward to spending the upcoming year with you too.
I hope our coming adventures are fruitful.
(How long will I be able to accompany these children of man on their journey?)
(I need to free my brethren to ensure victory for our leader... How much longer will it be until the day comes?)
(All I can do now is continue preparing myself until the time is right.)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Do my eyes deceive me, or are you prepared for an outing? Where are you heading?
Hm, you're heading to the shrine to pray for the year ahead? A custom of the children of man, I take it.
You want me to accompany you? Praying would be a bit... Never mind...
I shall pray for the continued safety of this crew and its members.
(There is no way my true prayers for this crew would be answered...)
(But as long as things continue smoothly, I suppose there's no harm in praying for everyone's continued health.)

Happy New Year, (Captain). The year has only just begun, and yet you are already busy.
From shaping mochi to shrine visits and kite flying... That is a packed schedule.
You'd like me to join? Very well. I am not opposed to enjoying the entertainment together.
What is it that you children of man say? "New Year's Day paves the way for the rest of the year." Keeping busy from the start is admirable.
(Since when have I been so interested in the activities of the children of man...)
(I'd heard that every new year brings a fresh perspective, but... surely I haven't changed that much with each one that passes.)
(I mustn't forget that these peaceful days we spend together are nothing but a lie. It would be foolish to lose myself in them...)

Owen

Happy New Year, (Captain). Here's to another top-notch year together.
By the way, you're up awfully early.
Ah, as for me, I woke up to watch the first sunrise.
I like to make my New Year's resolutions as I face the dawning of a new day.
It's a tradition of mine that I've followed every year.
Hm? Have I made this year's resolution yet? Of course I have!
I promised to practice one thousand sword swings every single day.
A lot of sword swings, isn't it?
I want to become stronger than I am right now, but there are no shortcuts along the path to strength.
There are more and more things that have become important to me. I do this for their sakes.
What about you, (Captain)? What are your goals for this year?
Oops! It's about time I started my sword practice.
Please tell me another time! Now if you'll excuse me!

Ha!
Hugh!
(Captain), happy New Year.
What am I doing? Pounding mochi.
They say that if you eat mochi on New Year's, you'll live a long life.
So for everyone's sake, I am here preparing it.
Would you like to help me, (Captain)? All right, I'll flip it and you hit it.
Mochi made by our two hands will benefit all.

(Captain). The princess and I mean to celebrate New Year's day at a shrine. Would you care to accompany us?
Choose: I'd be happy to.
In that case, could you wait here for just a moment?
It seems they are not yet done changing...
Yes. Because it is New Year's Day, the princess insisted that she and Grea be dressed in their finest.
...! Please excuse me. I will go and make sure everything is all right.
Oh, but first I have something I must say to you.
(Captain), happy New Year. May fortune continue to smile upon you.

That day we watched the sunrise together, (Captain)...
I said I would practice swinging my sword one thousand times a day.
Actually... I've been practicing my sword swings every day since then, over these past few years. It's become my routine.
Have you decided on your resolution for this year? If you haven't yet...
How would you like to practice swinging your sword with me for a thousand times every day? We could even have a spar after that.
What do you think, (Captain)? Let me know!

Pamela

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I look forward to spending more time with you.
By the way I left a greeting card in your room earlier. I hope you'll take a look later.
Hm? Why didn't I give it to you directly? Erm... that's a good point! Sorry, I'll go and get it right now!
Huh? I don't need to? But I, umm, err, well...
I'll be sure to personally deliver it next year!

Happy New Year! I made this card for you. Go ahead. Take it.
(Captain) opens the card to see a heartfelt message written in beautiful script.
Getting last year's card to you was kind of a mess, so I made sure to personally deliver this one.
Huh? You wrote me a card too? Thank you.
Wow... It's beautiful. You really have a way with words.
I love it. I can't wait to hang it up in my room.

Sigh... I checked my New Year's fortunes, and it's bad luck for me...
"Is something bad going to happen to me this year?" I can't help but keep asking myself...
Hm? You think that if things are bad now, then it can only get better?
Hm, yeah. I like that way of thinking!
My New Year's fortune stated that I should stay foolish and hungry for knowledge! So I'll try to keep my pride in check for everything I do!

Look! The sun's peeking out from the horizon!
Haha, I guess that's my cue to say happy New Year!
As a child, I used to watch the first sunrise of the year with my family.
But enjoying the view with a good friend I've been through so much with is just as fun!
This year, I hope to give even more people calm and peace through my performances.
What do you hope to accomplish throughout the year, (Captain)?

Paris (Event)

I like it when the new year is upon us. It puts me in good spirits.
It's the perfect time for all people, good and bad, to reflect on themselves and take the first step in a brand-new journey.
What sort of year do you want this to be, (Captain)?
As for me I think I'd like to overcome my distaste for rice cakes this year.
Humph, do you find that funny? But taking the first step is crucial for making big achievements.
(Captain), why don't you decide on a small goal for yourself?

Last year I made a resolution to overcome my distaste for rice cakes, but it was easier said than done, to say the least...
As a man, I couldn't leave my resolution unresolved. As such, I recently entered myself into a rice cake making contest.
And for some reason, the rice cakes that I made were surprisingly delicious.
Things taste better when you make them yourself, you say?
I see. It does make sense that you would feel a unique sense of joy from things you put your own effort into.
I'm actually not quite fond of mint, either. Perhaps if I applied the same method again...
It's decided, then. When it gets a bit warmer, I'll try growing some of my own leaves. A splendid idea, yes?

A new year begins. Have you written down your resolutions yet, (Captain)?
Last year I decided to overcome my distaste for mint, starting by growing my own mint leaves.
Due to my hectic schedule, the stalks outgrew the pot before I realized how much they'd grown.
For a plant to have this capacity to grow came as a shock to me. It taught me that this is what life is all about.
I'm lucky to learn a lesson from something that I've always kept at arm's length.
Don't let fear stop you from facing a weakness. Keep that lesson close to heart.
Is there anything you find difficult to face, (Captain)? Then allow me to help you. We shall brave the unknown together.

Happy New Year.
I'm glad you took the time to return to Verona just to wish me a happy New Year. Make yourself at home.
Oh, I was about to make the rounds in the city.
Thanks to the progress of the reconstruction efforts, the entire city plans to usher in the new year.
But amid all the joy, there are some individuals who might take things too far.
In order to ensure that everyone has a safe celebration, I will personally patrol the area.
Hm? You're offering to come patrol with me?
Hm. As our guest, I was hoping you'd enjoy the pleasures of the festivities. On the other hand, it would also be rude of me to refuse your request.
Then as the next best thing, I shall give you a tour of the revelry as we make our sweep.
Seeing non-locals having fun too would certainly prove that all the sweat and tears shed for reconstruction wasn't in vain. Please enjoy all that Verona has to offer.

Pengy (Event)

Happening news year!
Got a resolution for the new year?
Mine's to be 120% Pengier!

Happy New Year!
Well, (Captain)? Gonna sleep through new year's morning? Sounds good to me!
Yawn... Sleeping through New Year's rules so much...
Peco peco! Pen! Pen! Peno Peno Gwaa!
Pegy pegu pegu...

Nnngh... (Captain)? What? Breakfast?
Say Happy New Year?
Wait, what? When did that happen? I can't believe I missed it!
Last thing I remember is taking an afternoon nap. I didn't think I'd sleep through the rest of the year!
Hey... I guess you could say I'm a time traveler now! Hyahoo!

(Captain)! Haaappy New Year!
See, see? This year I'm an early bird too!
And it's all thanks to your advice!
Getting to see the sun rise made me happy, pegu!
Yawn...
Now that I've got my worm, I suddenly feel all sleepy...
Aren't you sleepy too?
Let's flock together for a nap!
Mm, mm...
Gonna be another good year, (Captain).

Percival (Event)

Happy New Year.
I am still short on vassals... (Captain), will you still accompany me on my journey to find more?

I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me this past year. It's hard to believe so much time has passed since we first met.
We've battled fierce foes, but you've stayed by my side through thick and thin.
You believe in me and trust me with your life. And for that I'm deeply grateful.
So can I depend on you to serve by my side again this year?
Heh... I'm counting on you, Captain.

Look, the sun peeks over the horizon. What a sight to behold.
Having perfect weather to see the first sunrise is the sign of a good start to the new year.
You really looked out for me last year and met my every expectation, (Captain).
It's thanks to reliable people like you that I can continue to build what I deem to be an ideal kingdom.
I hope this year will be no different. Will you continue on at my side?
Heh. That's what I like to hear.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm delighted to be able to greet another year with you by my side.
Feendrache wasn't built in a day. I intend to spend this year seeking to determine what makes an ideal kingdom.
Hm? You think I ought to go into town with you?
I see. By taking part in the New Year's festivities, I can broaden my views on the people and culture of the town itself.
In that case, give me a moment to change into appropriate attire for New Year's.

Philosophia (SR)

Happy New Year!
I hope I get to debate more with you this year. You could even wax philosophical every now and then...

I'd sure like to debate with you again this year...
Heheh... But not just about philosophy. We could talk about anything!
Ha-ha! Let's make another great year together, (Captain)!

The new year is here, so I was thinking that it's the perfect time to talk about what philosophy is exactly.
Ha-ha... If you already know that much, then this should make for an interesting discussion...
To put it simply... Philosophy is to ponder the fundamental truth of things and ideas all around us.
Some say philosophy is the pastime of intellectuals and thinkers...
(Captain). Were you snoring just now? Are you sure? Really?
Humph! Don't tease me like that... Or else I'll have to tease you back!
Ha-ha! I'm looking forward to an all new year of your curious expressions!

If you eat just one piece of mochi from the New Year's zoni soup... Munch munch... It's still zoni, right?
And if you eat another... Nom nom... It's still zoni, isn't it?
But if you keep on eating even more...
...
A-ha! It's no longer zoni but rather an empty bowl.
What is the essential form of zoni anyway? What do you think?
Hm? There's enough for seconds and thirds?
Teehee... Well, that's certainly convenient. We'll have to test this out one more time.

Predator

The wind feels great.
(Am I getting too emotional? I thought I'd already lost that soft side of me...)
...!
(Captain), were you around this whole time?
Hm? You think the breeze'll feel even better if I take off my mask? I suppose so.
Yeah, this is definitely better.
Huh? My New Year's resolution?
I'm sorry to say it's not the usual happy stuff. I only care to destroy the Acier family,

What an awe-inspiring sunrise.
I didn't think I'd be watching another year pass while being a part of this crew.
Oh no, I don't hate being here or anything.
I'm just bitter that I haven't been able to achieve my goal thus far.
So this year I'll definitely...
And once I make my dream a reality, I'll focus every ounce of my being to make yours come true, (Captain).
Hehe. Promise.

Oh, you like it? Thanks. I guess it was worth cooking up some New Year's dishes after all.
Hm? There's something on your mind? You don't have to be so reserved about it. I'm always willing to listen.
...
Are you feeling okay, (Captain)? No, of course I don't use my claws to cut meat or vegetables.
I use a kitchen knife like everyone else...
Okay, that's enough jokes out of you, kiddo.

Gah, it says I'll have my worst luck ever this year! I was expecting more out of you, New Year's fortune...
Yours says you'll have great luck? Sheesh, why can't I ever catch a break...
No, this is no time to indulge in petty jealousy. I'll just keep trying until a better one turns up.
What! What do you mean you can't draw fortunes as many times as you like?
But think about it. If this one is the worst luck, it can only get better from here, right?
I have to believe there's a happy life out there. And it starts with getting better luck!

Rackam (Holiday)

Heya, Captain! Happy New Year!
They say each part of the sky has it own way of celebrating the new year! How do you celebrate back home?

Happy New Year to ya, (Captain)! Here's to another good year.
Man, I get excited just thinkin' about where the Grandcypher is goin' to take us this year.
No matter how old I get, nothin' beats the excitement of adventure.
Haha. People might laugh at me for it, but that's all I can think about.
Anyways, leave the piloting to me! I'll get ya to where ya wanna go!

Hey, (Captain). I was thinkin' about our course for the new year.
Not so easy flyin' the ship around or gettin' an accurate reading of the climate.
I'm workin' too hard on New Year's Day? Heh-heh. Well somebody has to. The Grandcypher doesn't get to take a holiday.
And that means I don't get to take one either.
Oh? Getting a compliment from (Captain), the captain of our crew, on New Year's Day. Must be a good omen!
I swear I'll get you to Estalucia. You're in good hands!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hold out your hand.
There ya go. That's a little pocket money for ya.
Hey, hey, hey! What're you lookin' so surprised for?
Whaddya mean, am I feelin' okay? Geez... Is it that outta character for me to spoil you a bit?
Well... Y'know... Maybe I've grown into the big brother role a bit.
I'm not gonna be the same ol' Rackam this year. Haha, just you watch!

Rackam

Heya, Captain! Happy New Year!
They say each part of the sky has it own way of celebrating the new year! How do you celebrate back home?

Happy New Year to ya, (Captain)! Here's to another good year.
Man, I get excited just thinkin' about where the Grandcypher is goin' to take us this year.
No matter how old I get, nothin' beats the excitement of adventure.
Haha. People might laugh at me for it, but that's all I can think about.

Randall (SR)

Hm? You want me to reach in there and pull out my fortune for this year?
Humph. I'm not one to argue with what the heavens ordain.
You shall not meet the one you seek.
Hgrah!
Who needs fortunes? These things never come true anyway.

Hey, (Captain). I'm not doing no stupid New Year's prayers this year. That stuff don't work.'
I'd rather rely on the strength of my kicks to find my way in the world.'
This year I'm gonna find my ultimate rival—and send him flying with one blow.'
So listen up, (Captain)! You're gonna be right beside me as I aim for these new heights!'
The strong beckon the strong. And your strength is real. With you here, I'll definitely find him.

(Captain), check out these fish I caught.
Where I come from, it's a New Year's tradition to chow down on fish for good luck.
This one's an amberjack. They say it's good for prosperity.
One of these and I'll be on top of the world! That's just my way of saying I'll be stronger than ever!
You and I are having a bout right after this! You better not run!

Here comes another year.
(Captain), got a question for you. You think I got any tougher last year?
I mean, 'course I did. But I don't feel it. And you know why? It's 'cause of you!
You powered up so fast. It's like I hardly changed, in comaparison.
Well, guess it ain't all bad. Feels good, knowing I got a strong rival to kick into the dust!
Got my resolution figured out too. I'm gonna one-up you!
You get tougher too, you hear? The crazier the goal, the more pumped I get!

Razia (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain). This one's going to be as good as the last.
Okay, next on the list is...
Hm? Oh, I'm making sure I wish everyone a happy New Year today.
Just one of my duties.

(Captain), happy New Year!
Do you want to go out for a walk?
Decisions made on New Year's Day are the keys to a successful year, right?
Just don't mention the Zeyen today, got it?

(Captain), happy New Year. Looking forward to more time with you.
Gah... This morning we're having ozoni?
It's not that I hate it... But I can only recall stained memories...
I... Long ago, I got mochi stuck in my throat... After that I just couldn't stomach it...
But put your fears at ease. That won't happen again. I will chew properly.
So stop looking at me with those eyes.
Very well. I will try it.
This mochi really stretches...
Nom, nom... And the taste is quite good...
Thank you. That was pretty tasty.
Gah... Why those eyes?
Choose: I'm glad you didn't choke.
Humph. I too have grown.
I don't make the same mistake twice!

Hah! Hunh! Yah!
Oh, it's you, (Captain). Happy New Year.
What am I doing? Please, it's obvious. Pounding mochi!
It's said that if you eat mochi on New Year's Day, you'll live long and well.
And that's why I'm making mochi, but, um... It's a bit hard on my own.
Well, no. Actually, some of the crew were helping out just now.
But our timing wasn't the best, so I might have... With the mallet...
N-no, you're wrong. I am not clumsy! Our timing was off—that's all!
R-really! S-stop looking at me like that!
Ugh. J-just finish me off! I'd rather die than be looked at like that!

Redluck

Hey, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
I invited a few other folks to help make some celebratory New Year's grub.
A good year starts on day one, I always say. And if I'm gonna make it into the belly-battle record books again this year, I gotta start now.
Bwahahaha! Let's make this a great year, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hey now, don't be shy! I ain't about to start another food fight!
Lemme tell ya, that could get real sticky real quick.
Let's hold off on the food fightin' for now and enjoy us a New Year's meal together!

Ooh, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Good to see you around. If you've got some time to kill, whaddya say to walking around that town with me?
Word is they've got a belly-battle planned. It's sort of a New Year's thing for them.
And I can't just sit idly by while a belly-battle takes place! It's up to me to liven things up!
I'll be able to perform that much better if you're there to cheer me on.
Actually, why don't you join too?
Dahaha! Just kidding. No pressure if you're not interested.

Yo, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
I'm headed over to the orphanage. You wanna come along?
What for? Come on now. Who else is gonna give the kids their New Year's pocket money?
They look up to me as a heroic skyfarer, so I've gotta play my part!
Whoops! Almost forgot.
Hold out your hand, (Captain). Here's your pocket money. Dahaha!

Reinhardtzar

Many in the crew are just eating up this New Year's celebration...
But if you ask me, this is precisely the time we should have our wits about ourselves.
I know it's a time for festivities what with it being a new year and all...
But when the entire town is too busy making merry, arrant knaves will see the town as ripe for the plucking.
Surely you wouldn't want to be caught up in any of that.
Nor would I want those close to me to be met with such harm. Be careful out there.

Happy New Year. Time just flies by, doesn't it?
Let's see...
Hm? You wanna know my plans for later?
Nothing much. I'll be training in the mountains like always.
Breaking out a good sweat while taking in the fresh air's not a bad way to start the new year.

Well, well, looks like a new year is upon us. Last year was a pretty tough one though.
Hope this year goes smoother. Guess that might be hoping too much.
In any case today is an auspicious occasion.
You should take the day off, (Captain), and try to recharge.
Cain and the others have put out a New Year's spread. I'm gonna head off to some training now, but I'll see you at the feast later, yeah?
What's with the face? You want me to rest too?
Nah, I get restless if I'm not doing something. I'll be more relaxed if I'm moving.
You might think I'm a disagreeable kind of guy, but I promise I've got your back this year.

Huh? (Captain)?
What are you doing here first thing in the morning? If you wanna wish for good luck, this year's lucky direction is—
You've been waiting for me so you could join me for my morning exercises?
Haha... I guess you know my training regimen by now. New Year's or not, I've gotta put in the time every day.
I do it 'cause I have to, though. You didn't have to get up this early just for me.
Enh. I guess I don't mind the company.
Let's greet the new year drenched in honest sweat.
Oops, almost forgot my manners. Happy New Year, (Captain). Lookin' forward to the next one.

Richard (SR)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I think this is the year I hit the jackpot. That's the kinda happy new year I'm hoping for.
No, wait...
If I never lose a bet, then I'll be beset with misfortune all year round...
...
Okay, well, maybe moderation is the key here. Let's see how this year plays out.

Cheers to the New Year, (Captain).
Oh... That's right. You're not ready for the hard stuff yet. How about a New Year's gift, then? Even a gambler can be generous sometimes, you know?
You ready? There are three bags before you. One large, one medium, and one small.
Now which one is your gift in? Choose wisely... Otherwise, I'll have you—
Oh? That's not generous at all, you say? Haha... You've got me there, I must admit. But a test of pure luck is always a thrill, is it not?

Happy New Year, (Captain).Check this out. I pulled "super bad luck" for my New Year's fortunes.
Sounds like I'll be drowning in my own sorrows. What a way to start the year, huh?
Hehe. Actually, there's another way to read this...
It means my luck's so bad that it's good. It's like I've got a giant "W" on my chest for "Win."
I suppose I oughta test this theory with a game of chance.
Hope you're looking forward to some New Year's money from me later, (Captain).

So you got a super lucky draw, (Captain)? Good on you.
Me? I got a regular lucky draw.
Hehe, not the greatest, but not the worst either. I guess that means it'll be a plain ol' year for me.
Maybe I should just be glad some horrible disaster isn't going to befall me.
In a way, finding joy in even the smallest things in life like this is the key to happiness.
Huh? What's so funny?
You find it strange for a gambler to not have grander ambitions? Haha!

Rita

I see... So the new year is here.
It's no matter. I don't feel anything particular about the holiday. Everyday is the same to me...
You're having a party? I'm sure the children will be bouncing in excitement. I suppose I could go if it's not a bore...

A festival at the shrine? I'm not interested...
I mean, someone like me showing up near the shrine is bad luck, right?
Just think about it. A zombie... At a shrine... For a festival...
I couldn't even laugh at something so silly!

Hmm... Going to watch the first sunrise of the new year, are you? Strange. Seems to me it would be like any other sunrise.
It helps you reflect on things to come? Really now... Well, color me intrigued. I think I'll come along with you.
After all, zombies are more accustomed to dusk than they are to dawn.
Hehe. Which means a zombie's new year technically starts when the sun sets on the first day. At least that's what I feel.

Happy New Year. Here's to another 365 days together.
Well, this is quite the feast. What's that in your bowl? New Year's stew?
I see...
No, nothing's the matter. Just... make sure you chew, all right?
Mochi's a pain to fish out, once it gets stuck in your throat.
Not that you need to worry. You've got a doctor standing right here, after all.
And if even my skills were to fail... Well, then I'd turn you into a zombie.
Hehe. I jest.

Robertina (Promo)

'Tis the season for a good tuba cleaning! Hmhmhmm.
Oh look, is this a nack? Here's another... and another!
Let's see this should be the last one... Oh look, there's a bunch more. My goodness, it's never-ending!
Hahaha, you look surprised. I'm only kidding, of course! I snuck those snacks in there just now!

Ohhh... I can feel it! The first sunrise of the new year, brimming with new energy!
Oh, there you are, (Captain). Try spreading your arms out and take in the glory of the sun.
Can you feel it now, (Captain)? Overflowing with power, right? If only I could be so luminous...
All righty... Can't let this energy go to waste! It's time for my annual...
New Year's pushups! One, two, three, four...
Nintety-nine... One hundred!
Pant... I finally... finished! Aww... Yeah... Woo-hoo...
(Captain)... Huff... Puff... Let's have another... great year... together!

Man... My first dream of the new year was amazing...
You want to know what I dreamed about? Okay, I'll make a special exception and tell you.
I dreamed that an envoy of the tuba god brought me a message!
It said, "Remain humble and diligent." Don't those words speak right to your heart? It really left an impression on me!
All right! Time to get started right away with some push-ups. Here we go!
What's that? I'm not even using my tuba? Heehee. You're forgetting the part about being humble! It's always important to work on the basics.
I'll play the tuba when I'm done with this, so make sure to listen to my first performance of the new year!

One, two, three, four...
(Captain)! What can I do for you so early in the morning?
Oh, you could hear me counting? Sorry for startling you.
I've been working out since the break of dawn to show I've been following the will of the tuba god for the past year.
After furthering my training, I understand the tuba on an even deeper level now. Listen to the fruits of my efforts.
Buh-babuhm! Ba-buuuhm!
Come on, I was waiting for you to say something! You just let me sing an entire song!
Looks like l need to have you join me for some serious strength training.
Hehehe! I guarantee you'll see results, so just trust me and let's get moving!

Robomi (Event)

Happy New Year to you, Captain.
The first sunrise of the new year has been confirmed.

Presence of initial sunrise confirmed.
Excluding fluctuations in climate, no significant variation in daybreak patterns has been detected over time.
I affirm that next year the same sun will be observable upon the horizon.

Recording third observation of New Year since making initial contact with (Captain).
Happy New Year, (Captain).
Nicholas has performed maintenance on my armor. Checking color, luster, and frame... Condition: excellent.
Performing New Year confirmation... No problems detected. Ready to observe.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
The New Year's sunrise reminds me of fighting through the night and then bathing in the morning sun.
I am very happy to spend this calm morning with you right now, (Captain).
Let's have another great year.
I hope you aren't left with any regrets in the months to come.

Romeo (Event)

Happy New Year.
Juliet. The years may change, but my thoughts of you and my hope for Verona's reconstruction never will!
I will return, my Juliet. Please wait just a little longer!

Juliet... No matter where you are, how far you may be, for as long as we are under the same sky, I shall be with you again.
Oh, how I long to be with Juliet once more...
Hm? C-Captain! How long have you been standing there!
I should just go meet her?
N-no! I can't! How can I possibly face her with my work still undone!
But thank you for the concern. It's good to know you're thinking of me.

The first sunrise of the year... The clear skies today make it all the more beautiful.
All of Verona should be watching the same sunrise we are.
Juliet... How I wish I could spend this New Year's day with you.
I know this is an important time right now, but I can't return just yet. Not until I grow to be someone I can be satisfied with.
Wait for me just a while longer, my love. Until we meet, take comfort that we look upon the same sky.

So this is osechi, a typical fare served during New Year's?
What a veritable trove of ingredients, pleasing on the taste buds and the eyes.
Furthermore, each type of food is a petition to bring good fortune throughout this year, correct?
There are so many goodies to choose from... It's like a dish that tells a story.
It was only through leaving Verona that I learned of this particular custom.
Thus I expect Juliet to be unfamiliar with it, considering she is still in our homeland.
Sigh... How I wish I could introduce her to this tasty delight.

Rosamia (SR)

Looks like we've entered the new year. Though I hate making a big fuss about it—I prefer to celebrate quietly.
As for my New Year's resolution, I'll be more than content if we can settle the score with the empire once and for all.

You're up early. Can't wait to start the new year, right?
I made breakfast. Doesn't it look good? Go on, try a bite, (Captain).
(You've always taken care of me. This is the best I can do to show my gratitude.)
Not like it matters. It's just leftovers anyway.
Um, ignore that. I got my thoughts mixed up, that's all.

Fortune cookies...
Humph, how absurd it all is.
Look at them crowding about the storefronts... (Captain), what's with the smirk?
You bought a few in advance? Not like I really care, but I'll have one.
...!
Bad luck, it reads!
Humph, thank you for the cookie nonetheless, (Captain).

You're going out shopping to start the new year? I see...
(Well, there's nothing I want right now, so I'll refrain from joining.)
I would go with you, but I bet it will be crowded, and I was thinking of taking a nap in my room.
...
Oh you don't have to look so upset that I can't accompany you.
Sigh... Fine, fine. I'll go with you.
But in exchange you have to promise that you won't horse around too much. I would hate if people started to stare.
Ugh, and right as I say it, there you go. I know you're happy right now, but please calm yourself!

Rosetta

So another year has begun.
I wonder what kind of year this one will be.

(Captain), happy New Year! Have you already decided what your resolution will be?
If you just keep your goal in mind, then you can easily strive to attain it.
I suppose you could think of it like putting a support on a plant.
Even without one it will still grow. But with one it will grow majestically.
Hehe. Since it's the beginning of a new year, I thought I'd give you something interesting to think about.

Hehe. Look at that face. (Captain), you're like a fine wine that gets better with time. I really believe that.
You know... The road ahead will only grow more perilous.
But you'll get through it. I'll make sure of that.
What? Is that a hard pill for you to swallow?
Hehe. I suppose it would be... No one can blame you.
Yet, I... No... We're sure.
(Captain), no matter where life tries to take you, I know you'll make your own path.

(Captain), happy New Year.
Oh, you look tired. Hehe. Did you stay up late yesterday?
You know what they say about starting the new year in poor form; the remainder will follow suit.
No matter what you do, no matter how well you prepare for the days to come, time will just pass you by...
And then it will be the next year before you know it.
It's all right to indulge yourself every now and again, but I don't think you'll be able to be productive if you get sleepy by midday.
Let's make sure we bring out the best in one another this year, okay, (Captain)?

Rosine (SR)

A happy New Year. I hope we all prosper this year.
I always get nostalgic when we welcome in a new year.
I hope you have a wonderful and enjoyable year!

Happy New Year! I hope it's a good one for you! Here, I got this for you, (Captain).
This is a New Year's gift from grandma. Hehe. Of course you're the wonderful captain of this crew.
But you're also like a cute little grandchild to me.
My responsible dewdrop, (Captain). Keep taking care of everyone this year.
I may be an old woman, but I'll always be by your side, (Captain).

Happy New Year! I have some spending money for you, (Captain).
It doesn't matter how old you get, you'll always be my cute widdle princeGran is the Main Character/princessDjeeta is the Main Character.
There's no need to be modest. It's a grandmother's job to spoil the kids.
Heehee. Have a wonderful year.

A happy New Year to you, (Captain).
I prepared New Year's money this year too. Please, take it.
Hehe, you've got quite the puzzling power. Just seeing your smile is enough to convince me to do this again next year.
I suppose I'll have to do my best and live a long life to see your adorable smile for years to come.
But let's focus on this coming one for now. I'm looking forward to it.

Ryan (SR)

Happy New Year.
I came along to learn what true courage is.
Looking back, it seems like I made the right choice.
But I'm sure I'll learn a lot more from you in the coming year.

Heheh... This is the second year in a row I've been able to spend New Year's with you, (Captain).
I'm so glad to have met you.
Here's hoping for another fantastic year, (Captain).

Happy New Year.
This is the third one I've celebrated with you.
Time's gone by so fast ever since we met up.
I look forward to continuing my travels with you, (Captain).
Here's to another fantastic year.

(Captain), happy New Year. The town's always so festive for the occasion.
I was just wondering why there's so many people gathered. Turns out they're here to check out their New Year's fortunes.
Let's see...
"Super good luck," it says! Hooray for me.
"You can expect good health and lost items returned. And if you have a little sister..."
"Wish her well with her new significant other."
This is absurd! How can it possibly know I have a little sister?
Kunlun... Who could her romantic partner possibly be...
(Captain)! Steer a course for my hometown on the double!

Sahli Lao

Happy New Year! Here's to a new year and new adventures!
I hope this year will be even better than the last!

Wind direction, check! Wind velocity, check!
(Captain)! It's time to fly the New Year kite—I mean—time for the aerial scout's test flight!
Quick, quick! You have to get up! You promised you'd fly it with me! Yeah, you said so yesterday!
Oh, and by the way... H-Happy New Year!

Captain! Happy New Year!
Hmm, it seems the town is abuzz with New Year's celebrations.
This year I want to try taking on a challenge. I'll build my courage up with that.
Hm? L-look, (Captain)!
What an amazing bow and arrow you've got as a decoration. Do you mind if I hold it?
Huh? It's a talisman to ward off evil?
I'm sorry! I got a little over excited there before knowing what it was...
Sigh...
I still have a long way to go... Just have to keep at it, that's what.
I hope I can learn from your example this year, (Captain)!

(Captain)! Happy New Year!
It's the beginning of a new year. Let's get ourselves ready for the challenge!
So then, what do you say we go take a trip into town?
There are food stalls and events galore! The whole place is coming alive.
Simply put, there's a world of temptations out there.
What better test of equanimity could there be than to bring ourselves into close proximity of those temptations?
A-ah, don't get me wrong. This is just a part of training!
Come now. We should hurry!

Sara (Event)

Happy New Year!
My New Year's resolution? I want to be able to express myself better... What's yours?

Happy New Year, Captain!
My New Year's resolution is to improve on cooking, sewing, and laundry.
Volenna's really good at all of them, so I'm asking her to teach me. Once I get good, I'll be able to help everyone!
Huh? What's wrong, Captain?
You've been good, so you want a New Year's gift? Well, I can give you a hug at least!
You're so good to everyone, and we all depend on you, so you deserve this hug!

...
Um... Happy New Year, (Captain). Let's have another great year!
I woke up early enough to see the morning sunrise today. It was a weird feeling...
Something as simple as the sun rising over the horizon shouldn't be such a big deal.
But for some reason, for someone like me to greet the new year like this...
I can't seem to find the words, but...
Sniff...
Hee hee, isn't it weird? I'm starting to cry, even though I'm so happy!

Zzz... Zzz...
Yawn... Hm? (Captain)?
Good morning...
Huh? It's Ne—
Gasp!
When did I fall asleep!
Lyria and I were trying to stay up all night to see the first sunrise of the new year...
Oh? It's almost that time, so you came to wake us up?
Wow! Thank you!
Let's get everyone on the deck to see it!
Lyria. Lyria, Wake up.
It's the first sunrise! Let's go watch it!
I bet it will be so beautiful!

Sarya (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Here's to many more solved mysteries in the year ahead!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My goal this year is to solve ten mysteries in a day!
Huh? There aren't that many mysteries for me to solve?
I don't think so, (Captain)!
There's gotta be plenty of mysteries left in the skies that nobody's even found yet!
I've still got a lot to learn, but I'm going to work hard this year to become the best detective I can be!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It's hardly been a day into the new year and already I have another shocking incident on my hands.
Detective Barawa gave me a new year bonus! I can't believe this!
I know funds are tight for the detective; how did he come up with the money? This is a case!
Hm? That aside, how will I use the money? Hmm, I wonder...
Maybe I'll get a swimsuit to celebrate... No, it's a little early in the year for that. I feel like it might be a waste just letting it sit in the piggy bank too.
I can't do it! I can't decide! Analysis paralysis is paralyzing me!
(Captain)! You have to help me! Help me think of a good way to use this money!

Yawn...
H-happy New Year, (Captain).
Ah, New Year's break is so nice... With no responsibilities to worry about, I can just take things easy...
It's nice to have times when you can just turn off your brain and relax... Hehehe...
How would you like some of that sweet alone time for yourself, (Captain)?
Of course, such a lifestyle naturally leads to greater love handles, but that's nothing a good diet and exercise can't fix...
Wha? There's a huge New Year's sale happening in town right now?
Let's go, (Captain)! We need to get out there and collect all the data we can if we're gonna get the best deals! It's time to put on our thinking caps!
Just running around out there should help cut down on all the yucky surplus around our waists! Let's do this!

Sarya

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Here's to many more solved mysteries in the year ahead!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My goal this year is to solve ten mysteries in a day!
Huh? There aren't that many mysteries for me to solve?
I don't think so, (Captain)!
There's gotta be plenty of mysteries left in the skies that nobody's even found yet!
I've still got a lot to learn, but I'm going to work hard this year to become the best detective I can be!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It's hardly been a day into the new year and already I have another shocking incident on my hands.
Detective Barawa gave me a new year bonus! I can't believe this!
I know funds are tight for the detective; how did he come up with the money? This is a case!
Hm? That aside, how will I use the money? Hmm, I wonder...
Maybe I'll get a swimsuit to celebrate... No, it's a little early in the year for that. I feel like it might be a waste just letting it sit in the piggy bank too.
I can't do it! I can't decide! Analysis paralysis is paralyzing me!
(Captain)! You have to help me! Help me think of a good way to use this money!

Yawn...
H-happy New Year, (Captain).
Ah, New Year's break is so nice... With no responsibilities to worry about, I can just take things easy...
It's nice to have times when you can just turn off your brain and relax... Hehehe...
How would you like some of that sweet alone time for yourself, (Captain)?
Of course, such a lifestyle naturally leads to greater love handles, but that's nothing a good diet and exercise can't fix...
Wha? There's a huge New Year's sale happening in town right now?
Let's go, (Captain)! We need to get out there and collect all the data we can if we're gonna get the best deals! It's time to put on our thinking caps!
Just running around out there should help cut down on all the yucky surplus around our waists! Let's do this!

Selfira (Event)

Happy New Year. Are you ready for it?
I can't wait to head back out there together with you and face ever newer challenges.

Happy New Year! What do you think the new year will bring? Oh, my heart is pounding with excitement!
Am I being too lax? Yeah, I know danger comes with the job. Such is the life of a skyfarer.
But I came from a tiny village out in the boonies. I never got to explore the outside world.
Adventuring through the skies with you and the crew is the most fun I've ever had.
Thank you for bringing me onboard, (Captain). I'll do my best not to slow you down.

Come on, (Captain)! How long do you plan on staying in bed for?
The town is buzzing with excitement for the new year. Let's go out there together.
Hm? You want to sleep in all day?
No way! I'm going to pull you out from under those sheets myself if I have to!
...
Fine. This is the perfect chance to play for you my newest piece: Cacophony of Loud Noises.
Oh, you're up? Well, get your shoes on and let's go for that walk.

(Captain), happy New Year!
Haha, I definitely wasn't expecting you to drop in just to say hello.
You made it pretty clear last year about how you'd be staying cooped up in your room for the next New Year's.
I'm glad you're here though. I have tickets for an upcoming concert.
Exactly two of them. Would you like to go with me?

Sen (Holiday)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I was so happy when everyone welcomed me aboard the airship last year.
Um, so this year.... Can I still travel with everyone?
Yay! Thank you everyone! I'm going to do my best this year. Please watch over me!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I've already decided on my New Year's goal.
Hehe. I want to learn how to speak cat!
Hehe. After I figure it out, I'll teach you too, (Captain)!

Mng... (Captain)... Happy New Year.
Sorry... I'm still half-asleep...
You know how they say the wish we make to the first sunrise of the year comes true?
So I tried hard to be a morning cat today... Only to fall asleep again.
It's too bad... Maybe next year.
That reminds me—(Captain), care to watch the next New Year's sunrise with me?
I'm absolutely pawsitive that I can get up early if you're the motivation!
Ehehe, it's a promise then?

Yawn... Where are you, Mr. Sun?
This New Year's, for sure... I'll watch the sunrise... Can't fall asleep... Yawn...
Phew... Gotta get a hold of myself. But it's so warm next to you... I'm getting sleepy...
Want to see... a beautiful sky... With (Captain)... And make a wish...
Mmh... It's so bright... Mr. Sun?
He's very round and very orange... So this is what he looks like on the first day of the year...
Uh... Um... My wish... My wish is...
Yawn... Let me sleep... For just a little while...
Zzz... Zzz...

Sevastien

Happy New Year, (Captain). This year will be one to remember, I'm sure.
Ahh, but what a fine day to welcome the new year.
So, might I interest you in a few special New Year's dishes prepared by yours truly?
Oh, they would be quite lovely with tea—shall I put some on?
Ah, I've almost forgotten. I have some candy gifted to me from a friend. I'll set it out as well.
Haha. Oh, dear me, pardon this old man for rushing you. I do get carried away at times.
Indeed, it won't do but to spend the new year at leisure.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Have you decided on a New Year's resolution, (Captain)?
Every clear goal that you accomplish through small, deliberate steps carries meaning.
One who lacks a stern will cannot lead in my humblest opinion.
Heh heh... But you don't have any need of such cautionary words, do you?
If you should ever stray or come into doubt, you know where to find me.
While I am aging, I do wish to be of any use I can to you.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
This is a bit sudden, but would you care for a meal? I put quite some effort into it, so I daresay it'll taste quite good.
Ah, but be careful with the mochi. It has a way of getting stuck in your throat.
Now, I haven't taste-tested it yet, so if you would allow me the first bite.
Chomp. Heh-heh. I must say, this isn't bad at-
Urk! Th-the mochi's... Gotten stuck!
Just a jest, (Captain). Were you surprised?
Hohoho, forgive me. These pranks are a bit of a bad habit.
Still, that was quite the expression you had on, (Captain). Looks like the new year has some good things in store for me, after all.

(Captain), would you like to have something to eat for New Year's?
I've prepared a number of dishes in hopes that you'll stay healthy this year as well. Please, help yourself.
If there is anything else you'd like to have, don't hesitate to let me know... Oh? Me?
Ha ha, I see. You're worried that I haven't had time to relax myself.
Yes... I suppose it wouldn't be good to worry about others' health only to have my own decline.
Very well. Then I shall take your advice and rest for a while.
Perhaps you'd like someone to feed you? Open wide... Ha ha, I am only joking.

Sevilbarra (Event)

Hmm... Oh, it's you. So even the master has come to see the first sunrise of the year.
You can get quite a view here on the deck, you know. Seeing the whole thing is rather refreshing.
Though it helps alleviate some pain, there is still some that won't go away that easily. But I guess that's just the way it goes.

(Captain), happy New Year!
...
Ah, sorry...
I was just thinking about how there are so few times for congratulations anymore.
I'm kinda surprised to hear myself say that so casually...
Time sure can change a man. For better... and for worse...

...
Mm? Ah, (Captain)! You're also heading out to see what the first day of the new year has to offer?
Huh? I've got a scary look on my face?
Apologies. The new year brings out my serious side, I'm afraid.
Although I'm not so good at letting go of my worries either, don't fret about me.
Fine, fine. I won't be too hard on myself. That's a promise.

Hey, (Captain). What's with the brush? Ah, preparing for New Year's calligraphy, I see.
You're having trouble getting the ink to show?
Haha, give it here. Let's see how I do.
Seems to work all right. Try holding it like this, (Captain).
Hm? You want me to practice calligraphy with you?
Erm, I think I'll pass. I don't exactly have the best handwriting, you know.
(The feelings I bear in my heart are not meant to be put on paper...)

Shao

Happy New Year, (Captain)! A new year always brings good fortune.
Surprised to hear me say that? Well, I'm the type to really treasure these occassions.
I'm looking forward to the New Year's bash! Ah, but let's not go overboard with merriment and overeating.
That would mean more work for me. And seeing that it's a holiday, I'll have to charge extra.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My, my, it's interesting how things've worked out. I had originally intended to stay with your crew for only a short time...
But another year has already passed aboard this ship.
It seems like I'll be around for a bit longer yet.
I'm looking forward to where you take us, (Captain).

(Captain), happy New Year.
Did you get a chance to see the sunrise?
I went to take a look just as I woke up.
Hey, what's with the face? It's not exactly my job to make sure you wake up early, you know?
All right, fine. I'll be sure to give you a wake-up call next year. Promise.
That's assuming I'll still be with you guys at the time, of course.

(Captain), have you had osechi before?
It's traditional New Year's fare in some parts of the skydom. You must try it. It's a treasure trove of nutrients.
Ingredients include black beans, chestnuts, kombu, and shrimp. They're often used in medicinal cuisine, you know.
They're most beneficial for your kidneys, which are said to store the "essence" of life. That means those ingredients can slow the effects of aging.
If you continue to eat osechi, you may be able to live long and yet not grow old. Why, it's the spring of eternal youth.
Heh-heh, how interesting it would be if that were true. Let's hope for more research on the salutary effects of osechi, shall we?

Sig (Event)

Happy New Year!
I have to get ready for the New Year's feast. I can't let the crew outdo the strongest woman of the high seas!
Aye, but Rosetta's a different beast altogether. Even I might have to raise the white flag.
Phew, the world is vast yet. I must keep up the training!

Phew... Looks like I lost to Rosetta again this year. I'm just no match for her taste in drinks.
But then there's Katalina. Hehe... She thinks she can compete with the big girls? How cute...
You want to know what happened? Well... sorry, but that's a secret! I'll tell you when you're older!

Aye, drink up, drink up. The time of ending and beginning is the best part of the calendar.
We can talk and drink into the wee hours of the morning with the new crew members who've joined us this year.
Bring on the wine, I say. Doesn't matter if it's a weekday or if we're in battle, a Brew Eternal like me is always up for a swig. What's a Brew Eternal, you ask?
It's the name me and Rosetta came up with. It means I'm one of the ten best liquid connoisseurs in all the skies! You'll see for yourself when you get older.

Mmmm!
Nothing beats closing out a year and welcoming another with a hearty brew!
Ooh, look at the time. I didn't even realize the sun is about to come up.
Guess that's my cue to hit the shrine for its first visit.
Wait, no. I can't go smelling like a fish that swam in a rum barrel. That would be plain rude to the holy spirits.
I'll just take a little nap to flush it out of my system before I head out again.
How 'bout it, (Captain)? I assume you'll be joining me in my listing?

Skull (Event)

It's a new year! Another totally awesome year is just getting started!
What? You don't know if it's gonna be a good one yet? Don't go talking like that!
I'm here, aren't I? As long as I'm around, it's gonna be the bestest most free-est year ever!
Come on, (Captain), let's make it a good one! Yeehaw!

Another year passes. And I'm definitely getting bigger.
This new year is just starting, and I can really feel it.
But this isn't enough! I've gotta get bigger! I'm gonna be totally huge and free!
Heh heh! Better keep an eye out for me, (Captain)!

Congrats! It's the new year! Woohoo!
Check this out, (Captain)! I brought something to celebrate the occasion!
See! Um... They're called fire... Um, fire walks? Hah! Forgot what they're called!
Anyway, they fly really high in the air and then explode in a glittery shower.
Well, let's get this party started! Just gotta light the wick here...
Wait! This isn't a—it's a bomb!

We got through the yeeear! Happy, happy! We did it!
And you know what New Year's means—fireworks!
Hehe, I studied all about them. Don't you think I'm great for being able to learn like this!
Last year I brought a bomb, but this year I've got the real deal!
But I don't have a fuse... How should I light these things up? Well, whatever will work...
Huh? I need some sort of cylinder? You mean I can't just light the insides...
You gotta tell me sooner! I already set 'em on fire!

Sophia (SR)

Happy New Year!
Want to know my New Year's resolution? This year I'm going to make it through my pilgrimage!

My New Year's resolutions are to make many more friends and to deepen my understanding of the Zeyen ways.
I may be on a bit of a roundabout path, but I believe it's a necessary experience in order to grow.
After all, it's the little detour I took that led me to meeting you, (Captain)!
I'm still in training, but I'll work my hardest as both a Zeyen priestess and a member of your crew.
I'm looking forward to journeying by your side this year!

Happy New Year! Thanks to you, I was able to learn so much more about the Zeyen faith last year.
But for every new thing I learned, new questions began to form in my mind...
I didn't think that mastering the teachings would be easy, but I'm reminded about how much time it will take.
There's no rush, you say? Heh-heh, you're right... If I rush myself and lose sight of what's important, then it defeats the purpose entirely.
(Captain), please be sure to show me lots more this year on our journey!

Happy New Year! I appreciate everything you did last year.
It was so satisfying to travel from island to island and meet all those new people together, (Captain).
I still have much to learn as a priest, but I intend to keep progressing step by step.
What sort of year do you think this will be? Heh-heh, I can't wait to see.
(Captain), please accept my heartfelt prayers that the light of hope may shine on your path.

Soriz (Event)

Happy New Year!
Make sure you train as hard as you can! If you want iron muscles, you can't skimp a single day!

Yawn... Now that was a New Year's dream worth flexing to!
A gaggle of gorgeous gals were all vying for the chance to ring in the new year with some fireworks...
Wait. What if that wasn't a dream, but a vision of things to come?
All right, (Captain)! I'm gonna go grab some New Year's fireworks. Time to see if I can make this dream a reality!

Hey! Happy New Year! Who knew the first morning of the year could feel this good?
Training in this air gets me revved up!
You too, right? Yeah, thought so!
All right, then let's get to it! Drop and give me fifty! Go on! Drop!

Whew! Training's all done!
How was it, (Captain)? Isn't training while breathing in the clean air of the new year an amazing feeling?
Good health is an important asset to any skyfarer!
Whoa, what was that sound? Oh, was that your stomach growling?
After a good workout, your body craves food. That's proof that you're good and healthy.
All right, let's race to our rooms! If you win, I'll buy you any snack you want!
Hey! Get back here, (Captain)! You can't get a head start while I'm still in the middle of talking!
You'll be eating my dust in no time! Just you watch!

Spinnah (Holiday)

Happy New Year! I can't believe a whole new year has already arrived.
Look at this spin blade. It's spinning even more than usual.
We've got to do something special to celebrate the new year. Any ideas?
I've got it! We can spin tops like I've heard of in stories!
(Captain), today's the day we spin all the tops!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! We've spun by one more year, huh? Don't spin out now!
Hm? This? I've attached a thread to my spin blade.
You don't know about kites? Lots of people play with them for New Year's.
Alas, when the wind is blowing this strongly, a regular kite would just spin ceaselessly, without gaining any height.
Kites just aren't made to handle that kind of rotation.
So I had a thought: If you fly something that was born to spin, you'd have no problems, right?
That's why I've turned this spin blade into a kite! The possibilities of the spin blade are endless!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Another year has begun to spin.
Have you ever heard of a New Year's game called battledore and shuttlecock?
You use a wooden implement known as a battledore to bat around a feathered ball called a shuttlecock.
I tried using a spin blade in place of the shuttlecock. It proved difficult.
The blade would spin off in an unexpected direction whenever struck.
As much confidence as I have in controlling it with my fingers...
Using a battledore is a different story. The mysteries of the spin blade are many.
Anyhow, would you care to accompany me for some battledore and spin blade practice, (Captain)?

Well, (Captain)? It's New Year's. What say we bring out the mochi stack?
I've got one right here. But instead of an orange, it's got a spin blade for a topper.
You want to know why I replaced the orange? Of course I have a reason.
We've all been there. It's time to slice the mochi, but you can't get it to crack.
That's where spin blades come in. Your typical kitchen knife will slide right off, but this revolving beauty can cut through anything.
You could also set the spin blade on top of the mochi and let it spin. This thing can keep going for weeks.
Treat it like fortune telling. The longer it whirls, the better luck you'll have. With spin blades, the possibilities are endless.
And I wish you a year just like that—filled with infinite possibility and zero limits!

Stan (Event)

Happy New Year!
My resolution this year is to become strong enough to be worthy of protecting Aliza.
To do that, something tells me that fighting alongside you is gonna be indispensable, (Captain).
I'll be counting on you, (Captain). Let's make this year another good one!

I still have much to learn until I can call myself a man truly worthy of protecting Aliza...
But you know, I feel like I've really grown, traveling the skies with the crew.
That's why this year, I resolve to become even stronger! Heh, at this rate... I may even be able to beat you in a fight soon, (Captain)!
Cough, ahem... Whoa, hey! I was only kidding... Put your weapon away!

(We made it through another year...)
I don't know who to thank, but I really am grateful about seeing another year.
Say, (Captain).
How long do you think it'll take before we get to Estalucia?
Huh? You have no clue?
Haha! All right... That's how it is, huh...
But I'll keep pushing along just the same!
I know one day, we'll get there!

When you kinda just let life go by, you end up losing sight of what's really important. You forget about stuff...
But when you watch the first sunrise of the year, it's like all of that comes back.
It's weird, but... It really gets you motivated, you know?
Hey, what do you mean that's funny, coming from me?
I think I mature every year—not by much, maybe, but yeah, there's change.

Suframare (Summer)

Happy New Year! Vyrn, (Captain), let's make this year the best we can!
It's time for the first lesson of the year!

Happy New Year.
(Captain), don't forget to wash your hands and gargle regularly.
Studying will be so much harder if you catch a cold.
Even Vyrn is doing it, you know.
Haha. Well, that's enough lecturing for today. It's going to be another wonderful year of studying, (Captain)!

Listen to this, (Captain)!
I've finally been able to catch a glimpse of Vyrn releasing magic from a staff...
In my dreams at least. Haha... Brings me to tears though.
To make this dream a reality, we need to study hard this year too!
That goes for you too, (Captain).

Achhooo!
Sniffle... Because of the snow machine I made that went haywire during my special class, I got sick...
Although I'm used to the cold, that was a bit too much... If I worried you, I apologize...
But... Hehe... Vyrn is taking care of me. He brings me warm tea...
Achoo! I feel kind of special...

Sutera (Event)

Wishing you all the best in the new year, (Captain)!
Time to get a head start on the year! Let's train in the crisp and cool air, shall we?

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with you.
I'm going to keep up my training and do my best to be of use to you and the rest of the crew!
Best to get a head start on day one. I'm going to start archery training right now!
If it's okay with you, (Captain), want to tag along? The crisp, cool air out there is going to feel great!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
It's kinda embarrassing to admit, but I'm not a morning person... My resolution this year is to start waking up earlier!
It feels good to start your day early like this. Now that I'm up, it's off to training I go!

Why hello, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
That's right! I've just returned from a training session.
I'm not much of a morning person, but I thought I should fully experience the start of the new year, so I headed out before dawn.
It was so refreshing working out in the cool air under the clear sky of a new year!
I feel like a whole new me! I really should make a habit of getting up early, instead of saving it for special occasions.
I'll be religious about my training, so I can render another full year of faithful service to the crew!

Sutera (Fire)

Wishing you all the best in the new year, (Captain)!
Time to get a head start on the new year! Let's train in the crisp and cool air, shall we?

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with you.
I'm going to keep up my training and do my best to be of use to you and the rest of the crew!
Best to get a head start on day one. I'm going to start archery training right now!
If it's okay with you, (Captain), want to tag along? The crisp, cool air out there is going to feel great!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
It's kinda embarrassing to admit, but I'm not a morning person... My resolution this year is to start waking up earlier!
It feels good to start your day early like this. Now that I'm up, it's off to training I go!

Syr (Event)

Happy New Year! Here's to another great one!
Hey, I heard of this thing called a lion dance! If you can defeat a lion you'll have good health all year round! Let's go take one down!
Huh? What! That's not how it works?

(Captain)! Happy New Year!
What am I working on? Writing my New Year's resolutions!
For each one you get done, you get a wish, right?
Huh? That's not how it works?
What! Then what did I write all these for!

Hmm... Do people really wear this on their heads?
Oh! (Captain)! Happy New Year!
What am I doing? I heard that in some places they have new-year parties and wear new-year rats, but...
Every time I put this rat on my head, it tries to run away...
Huh? It's hats not rats?
Oh no! Th-then what should I do with this rat? R-release it in the forest? O-okay...

Hm... How to use this?
Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Huh, this thing? I bought it in town a little while back. It's called a top!
Yeah... Someone in the store said that people play with it on New Year's...
It looks like the string came off the wood part...
I heard that you use the string to spin the top, so I figured it was like a yo-yo...
Do you think maybe it's broken?
Huh? Give it to you? Do you know how to spin a top, (Captain)?
(Captain) wraps the string around the top and sends it spinning rapidly onto the floor.
Whoooa! It's going around really fast! So that's how you do it!
Ahaha! This is really fun, isn't it? (Captain)! Show me how to spin the top!

Tanya (SR)

Happy New Year!
My days have been so much better since meeting you this year. Let's make next year a good one too.

We faced many scrapes on our journey last year, (Captain), but I cherish the days we spend together.
My journey was lonely... And went on and on in darkness...
But in that endless path, I found a light.
A light to keep me from stumbling... To bring me warmth...
(Captain), you're the light that brightened my path.
And I don't ever want to lose it. I'll be by your side this year as well, so... let's have a good one.

(Captain), happy New Year... to you.
Are you on your way out somewhere?
A festival... at the shrine?
Oh... W-well... do you think I could come along?
You came to invite me, huh? Sorry, I should've let you speak first... But thank you.
Truth is... I want to try harder this year to grow closer to the crew.
I'm not good with words... But everyone's so nice that it's not enough to meet them halfway...
This year I'm going to change... So keep your eyes on me!

Happy New Year.
We've had quite a busy yet fulfilling year, haven't we? Looking back on it all, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to have met you and the rest of the crew.
Thank you, (Captain). From the bottom of my heart.
I was thinking, however... What can I do in return for everyone?
I see... Thank you. I know I can trust you, (Captain). It was thanks to you that I was able to change after all.
But I can be better... I know I can keep getting better.
Instead of waiting for others to talk to me, this year I'll try starting more conversations on my own.

Teena (Valentine)

Happy New Year!
No, I'm okay. Oh, don't worry, it's nothing. It's just something my brother did.
He was supposed to hand out New Year's gifts to the kids in the crew, but he got the time all wrong.
Aaah, he can be so irritating.
But it wouldn't be right for me to change him. I just have to toughen myself up!

Teeheehee.
Guess what? My brother gave me a New Year's letter.
But when I opened it, all it said was "have a good year".
Maybe this is his idea of a joke? On the other hand, he had such a serious look on his face when he gave it to me. I don't know.
Hehe... It's so like him to do something like this though, so I can't help but laugh.

There! All done!
Oh! Happy New Year, (Captain).
I've figured out my resolution for this year. I want to take the time to learn.
I've always talked about it, but now I'm actually going to give it a shot. I want to read as many spell books as I can so that I'll be able to use higher-level magic.
It probably won't be the same as my mother's magic.
But it'll have the same power to help anyone in need that she always had.
You're rooting for me? Why, thank you, (Captain). Teehee.

(Captain), happy New Year!
Hm? You're wondering what all these fancy meals laid out on the table are for?
They're for today's New Year's lunch. I prepared each and every one personally.
Haha. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I think these turned out great this year.
I hope you like yours.
Hm? You think I made too many?
Oh, that won't be a problem. I'll have my brother finish off any leftovers if it comes to that.
Well then, guess I'd better call everyone here.
There's nothing better than a festive meal to kick off the new year.

The Lowain Bros

Haaappy New Year, bro! I'm ready to party like there's no tomorrow!
Huh? You wanna know my New Year's resolution? To score a date with Kat one of these days!

Lowain: Yo, Sammy! Can you bring me the chopped veggies?
Elsam: I'm on it, dude.
Lowain: Tommy, get me some dried spaghetti!
Tomoi: You need me to drain the pasta? I'm on it.
Lowain: Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year, man!
Elsam and Tomoi: Happy New Year.
Lowain: Man, you seriously helped us big time last year! I'm so glad to be on the crew, Captain!
Elsam and tomoi: Me too!
Lowain: Ah, my bad. We shouldn't be greeting you while cooking.
Elsam: I don't know about this New Year's party, man. Everyone's ordering so much that I don't know if we have enough food to keep up.
Tomoi: It sure is a fun challenge though, even if we're just helping.
Lowain: Anyway, did you guys see Kat's...
Elsam and Tomoi: Ki-mo-no?
Lowain: Oh yeah! I only caught a glimpse, but she looked so good in it!
Elsam and Tomoi: Totally, man!
Lowain: All right, bros! Let's get this next dish out, then we'll go take a peek at Kat's kimono!
All Three: Waheey!

Lowain: Sup, (Captain)! We're chillin' out to celebrate the new year!
Tomoi: This past year's seriously kicked butt, and we'll just have to keep it up for the next one.
Elsam and Tomoi: Whoa, (Captain)! No offense, but you're lookin' a bit emo!
Lowain: Our captain's just beat from welcoming in the new year. C'mon, bros, let's do what we do best!
Ready, set...
Dude!
Elsam and Tomoi: Dude!
All Three: Duuuuude!
Lowain: Three, two, one...
All Three: Waheeey!

Lowain & Tomoi: Happy New Year!
Lowain: Sammy's just about done flying his kite.
Elsam's Voice: Wahey!
Tomoi: I think we're breakin' new ground with this free-form style of kite-flyin'.
Lowain: We figured doin' it on the deck of the G. Cyph can't be all that safe, so we made sure to tack on a lifeline.
Tomoi: See, Lowain went zoom and ran right off the deck. Good thing we were prepared.
Lowain: I thought I was a goner for sure, but man, what a thrill...
Elsam: Huff... Huff...
Whew... That was the bomb!
Lowain: Climbing up the kite via the lifeline is hella tough, I gotta say.
Tomoi: You gotta try it out, (Captain)—kite-flying like you've never experienced it! Whaddya say?
Elsam: Pant... Wheeze... Seriously though?
Do we even need a kite for this?
Lowain & Tomoi: Good point.

Therese (Event)

Oh, Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Whew... I'm glad I did it right this year!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Okay, time to go!
Where? Why, the dueling arena, of course!
Haha! I'm already gettin' excited for the first duel of the new year!

Happy New Year! Let's go to the park!
Huh? What do you mean, "why?"
You're so forgetful! We're going to the arena they made right next to it for a duel!
My heart is racing. I can't wait to crack a few bones on the first day of the new year!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I went to get my fortune before my first duel of the new year. And guess what...
Haha! Look! It says I'm going to have terrible luck! I've never gotten that before!
I bet this means I'm going to fight some crazy strong opponents this year!
I like the sound of that. Bring it on! It doesn't matter how strong they are—I'll pulverize them!

Therese

Oh, happy New Year, (Captain)!
Whew... I'm glad I did it right this year!

Oh... (Captain)... Happy New Year. Is this outfit... unusual for this time of year?
Everyone from the Jewel Resort already left to go home, but I'm still wearing this outfit anyway. Err...
It's not my favorite, but I guess I'll keep wearing it.
I hope you'll come to the Jewel Resort again this year...

Happy New Year... I'm looking forward to... I-I can't say it...
I finally thought I could stop wearing this, but then... Miss Christy said, "this year feels like one that needs a bunny..."
I also have to tell you that... For the New Year, all the members of the Jewel Resort will be in bunny outfits...
Oh, Miss Christy... The year's zodiac signs aren't decided based on somebody's whim... She knows better...

Happy New Year, (Captain)... Yes, I'm dressed like this again...
Lady Christy remarked that the bunny outfit is most positively lovely, and so...
Everyone on staff at the Jewel Resort plays the role of a bunny for the start of the year.
Hm? You don't seem all too surprised, (Captain).
You remember hearing about this last year too?
Ah, right... Just goes to show how much of a bunny aficionado Lady Christy is...

Tyre (Yukata)

The first day of the year always makes you want to get a resolution going, doesn't it?
This year's going to be the year I'm really going to buckle down, train, and grow to new heights!
And one day, maybe... just maybe she'll look at me differently. Wait...
No! Bad Tyre!
Such shameful thoughts! And on the first day of the year!
Impropriety aside, I will continue to do everything I can to support the crew this year!
If I keep doing that, my dreams might just come true!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! You can count on me to be fully devoted to the crew again this year!
Oh! By the way, would you like to try some of this candy?
I happened to hear about this custom, so I prepared these treats for my lovely crewmates!
It seems that most New Year's presents actually involve cash, but... Unfortunately, my wallet simply doesn't have the breadth to go around, you see...
Someday I'll become a worthy knight—one who can prepare proper New Year's gifts for the entire crew!

Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year! Thank you for having me again this year.
This may have been a bit presumptuous of me, but I went ahead and got you candy instead of New Year's money!
Here it is! It's a coin-shaped chocolate. I hope you like it!
How does it taste?
Heh, I'm just glad you seem to have taken a liking to it!
It's all about the little things, really—and little by little I'll try to be the best I can be to make everyone happy this year!
I've still got much to learn, but I have you to thank for all of your guidance and encouragement over the years!

(Captain), happy New Year!
In lieu of the usual New Year's rupies tradition, I've prepared treats instead! These come highly recommended by Jeanne herself!
The round, golden chunks of delight bear a resemblance to rupies... Though that may be stretching it a bit...
Extremely buttery and smooth, they are quite popular nowadays. Please, try one.
Of course, I say this knowing that I may not exactly qualify as an adult worthy of giving out New Year's rupies.
You saved my hide multiple times last year as well, (Captain), and seeing you in action up close has taught me so much.
I haven't done nearly enough to pay you back for all you've done for me, but I promise to make this a year where I continue to grow and mature as a skyfarer!
May we have another fine year together, (Captain)!

Ulamnuran

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
It's important to really buckle down at the beginning of a new year.
For example, I'm preparing to make my stunts even more spectacular, and bring even bigger smiles to the world!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I can't wait to see what kind of islands we go to this year!
My goal's the same wherever we decide to go, of course.
Hm? What goal? Aw, c'mon, (Captain)! Are you seriously asking that?
My goal's to get as many people smiling as I can!
Same as always you say? Haha! That's because it's the grand unifying goal of my life!
I want you to watch too, (Captain). Then you'll never forget to smile! Don'tcha know!

Happy New Year! Here's to another good one, (Captain)!
Just thinking about this whole new year is getting me excited!
You know what this calls for? An epic performance in the streets!
I'll start everyone's year off with a bang!
Won't you come and watch, (Captain)? I've got something very special lined up!

Yawn...
Starting the new year by sleeping in... I mean... I can't be bothered to get out of bed...
That gives me an idea. I'll take the day off!
I'll just stay in my fluffy bed all day long...
Yawn... Haha... It's so warm...
Beds are amazing... They make everyone happy...
I wanna do that... This year, I'll give it my best shot...
Zzz...

Vane (Event)

Hey there! Happy New Year!
Today's the perfect day to kick back, relax, and do whatever you feel like doing! Because we're going full steam ahead starting from tomorrow!

Hm, looks like I get to visit home for New Year's. I can't wait to see everyone!
Wanna tag along, (Captain)? It's a boring place, I admit, but I'm sure we'll find something interesting to do!
So you'll come? All right! This is gonna be a great homecoming!
I mean, it's a privilege to be able to show a valued friend the place closest to my heart.
Yep! I'll definitely have to show you around!
I want to take you to the shrine Lancey visits every year... and maybe his favorite restaurant... Oh yeah! We can also join the New Year's festival!
Although doing all of that once is gonna suck up all your energy... Ah, it's fine. We'll have plenty of time to deepen our friendship!
Hm? Don't worry about lodgings. You can stay at my place. I'll even whip up something tasty!

I'll be heading back home for New Year's again. Wonder what the gang's been up to?
Are you gonna come again this year? Wahaha! Of course you're welcome to!
Actually, there are some people I want you to meet.
First there's the granny by the port. Then there's riverside granny, and forest cabin granny—
Hm? The only people I know are old ladies?
Whoa, you're right! What can I say, I'm a grandma's boy!
They used to look after me all the time when I was a kid. The town's got nothing but good people.
So you coming? Awesome! The grannies will be happy to meet you too.
Aw yeah! This trip home just got a hundred times funner!

Happy New Year! Did you get good sleep?
Hm? Me? I just came back from delivering something to the elderly people who live near me.
I was doing a little bit of jogging around the neighborhood when I was asked to do a few errands. And then everyone paid me in food!
It was great! I got some of boiled dishes and some dried food too!
Hey! I have an idea! Come to my place in a bit and we can share all this!
Plus, there's a bunch of food left over from what I made on New Year's!
So will I see you later?
Great! Then I'm off!

Vania (SR)

Wah! This is my first time watching a New Year's sunrise!
I've never seen it so red and round before. And it feels really warm...
My face feels a little hot too. No, it's okay, it doesn't hurt!
It's a nice, gentle feeling. Hmm, now your face is turning really red.
Okeydokey, a new year is waiting for us, Bloodkin!

Looks like it's you and me again this year. Heeheehee...
I said I'd bite you, and this year I mean it!
Then you'll really be my bloodkin! I hope you're ready!

Snooze... Have to go out for the first dawn... but so sleepy...
Bloodkin... Carry me to the deck... And it's cold so wrap me in a blanket...
Mm... New Year's sun is so round and orange... like an egg sunny-side up...
Snore...

Happy New Year, Bloodkin!
Bloodkin, can you give me a piggyback ride?
The first sunrise of the year's coming up, and I want the best view I can get!
Please, please, pretty please?
No? Ehehe, I'm coming up on your shoulders anyway!
Whew, much better!
Wow... Your hair's so swishy and smells so nice, Bloodkin...
And you're so warm to the touch...
Ahh...
Yawn... I'm getting sleepy...
Hey, Bloodkin... You'll be with me this year too, right? Yawn... Zzz...

Vanzza (SR)

The new year is here. What a wonderful day... Better go and make the first cake of the year.
Ha-ha. Why don't you come and help?

The new year is here. But I... I still...
I still haven't found anything to aid my search!
I'm sorry...
You don't want me to apologize? Because I've helped the crew?
It's enough to make you cry...
No, it's nothing. You're too nice for your own good, as usual.
The old me used to fear your kindness. But after traveling with you, I realized it's saved me countless times.
Thank you, (Captain). Let's have a great year.

Heh-heh! The crew members are having a ball with the celebration. Did you need something, (Captain)?
You want me to help you make some mochi snacks, huh? Hm, then hand me that mallet and let's get to mashing! Oh yeah!
Ready? Here we go!
One!
Two!
Say, what's this goo turning into? It sure looks moist and chewy... Huh? So that's why they call it mochi...
Heh-heh! Ha-ha-ha!

Happy New Year. It's always a delight to welcome in another year.
Come to think of it, (Captain), we've known each other for quite some time now.
I never thought I'd come to trust anyone other than Acorazada.
But I have you to count on now, (Captain).
Let us fight together this year as well. You have my trust.

Happy New Year.
I hope the new year brings you much good fortune and I wish you safe passage on your journey.
Hm? You'd rather make my wish come true, instead of yours?
Hehe, I appreciate it, Captain, but that doesn't seem possible.
You see, my wish will come true when the time comes for me to leave this ship. But I don't want to leave just yet.

Wait... I must apologize in advance, but stop where you are.
Just for today I need you to keep away from me.
Even touching or talking to me would cause unspeakable evil to befall you.
I'm talking about what will happen to your wallet.
Don't you remember?
Any contact with me leads to money problems.
Not to mention that today is the first of a new year. I hear that some people give money on this holiday.
There can be no worse omen... So don't come near me.
Gasp!
What are you—
Stop! Why would you... Even though I bring misfortune...
Hehehe...
I can't believe you... (Captain), you really are different.
Don't say I didn't warn you, okay? I don't want you mad at me when bad things happen...

(Captain), happy New Year.
What are you doing? I warned you last year that when you get close to me, money problems ensue.
Or did you have no such difficulties last year? Didn't the crew want a New Year's gift that cost you a pretty rupie?
Hm. That may have been a silly question. You aren't the type to worry about such small things, are you...
I know that any price is a small one to see the smiling faces of the crew... Which in turn would put a smile on my face... I can see it now.

Happy New Year. Dawn is dazzling today, isn't it?
With the first day of the new year comes the first laugh of the new year. I thought I'd try my hand at stand-up comedy, you see.
To tell the truth, I have secretly been practicing every night for this performance.
Was it because I fear failure, you ask? Heh-heh. Not in the least.
Even if my performance were to fall short, I am certain the members of this crew would encourage me with their smiles.
I believe every person on this ship possesses a kind heart. Of course, that includes you as well, (Captain).

Vira

Happy New Year.
May I get even closer to Katalina this year...

It's the start of a new year, (Captain).
When I lived alone in Albion, I never thought anything of it.
But now I have Katalina, these endlessly liberating skies... and you, (Captain).
The prospect of another year of happiness fills me with unfettered joy.

Hmm... What a bind.
Ah, (Captain). I thought of going to visit the local temples for the new year; it seems to be a custom in this region.
But I realized I have nothing to pray for at the temple.
I'm able to stay by Katalina's side every day in our travels, and you're here with me as well.
I'm not sure what more there is to want.
But I think if I did have to pray for something... I suppose I might ask for this happiness to never end.

(Captain), happy New Year.
What do you say to going to a temple? After inviting Katalina of course.
I've made up my mind.
No matter how happy I am, I can always be happier.
For that happiness to continue, I will need you and my Katalina...
That we can continue our journey is what I'll wish for at the temple.

Volenna (Event)

The curtain has been drawn on a new year. We should rekindle our ambitions by aspiring to accomplish something new.
What will I aspire toward? Hmm. Let me think...
...
I guess I'm hoping to smile a little more.
Hah... You think that's funny? I'm being serious. Very serious.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My smile? Yeah... It's actually been a New Year's resolution of mine.
You see, it can be kinda... difficult. Smiling naturally doesn't come easy for me.
People tell me it's simple, but they're wrong. That's not the case at all.
Anyways, if you think of any good practice methods, please let me know.
If Sara always sees me looking so serious, she'd probably get worried, you know?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm... My New Year's resolution? You want to know that right off the bat?
Yes, that's right. I'm resolving again this year to learn how to smile naturally.
I tried again and again last year, but it didn't quite pan out. So this year is going to be the year...
Hm? You mean there's already something less than natural about my way of thinking?
You could just be right, (Captain).
I guess so... Maybe what really matters is where your heart is...
Well now, I thought I'd learned how to control my emotions.... But it seems that might've done more harm than anything.
I'm grateful for your advice. This is going to be the year that I do a bit of hard work to advance.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm? What's a natural way to smile? I'm not too sure about that myself...
Well, Sara's been saying that I've been smiling a lot lately, and Jin seems to agree.
I guess you don't really realize these things until someone tells you, huh?
In the end, there're a lot of things you don't know about yourself.
For example, having come this far, I can't believe I ever thought to let Sara just die like that...
People change without realizing it themselves.
I hope I can continue to change for the better—I'll have to keep working hard this year too.

Walder (Event)

Happy New Year!
There's kite flying, badminton, and pin the tail on the donkey... Your pick! I won't lose!

Happy New Year!
And many more to come!
Mmm! Feels like a fresh start!
I heard that people like to visit shrines or get new year's fortunes to celebrate.
Heheheh! I'll show you luck of a wild spirited, valiant woodland warrior and forest ranger!
Whoa! I got the luckiest fortune!
I'm the best! Did you see, (Captain)?

Happy New Year! Come on, let's go pull our fortunes for this year!
My fortune came out as super good luck last year. You think I can't pull it off again two years in a row? Hey, you know I don't play by the rules!
Heh-heh-heh! I'll show you how I roll!
Whoa! Did... did I really just get the same awesome luck twice?
I'm the man! And I'm also a little scared! What do you make of this, (Captain)?

Happy New Year! Something tells me this one's gonna be jam-packed with adventure!
Heh! It's the first day of the year, but it's already filled with excitement.
I wanted to give New Year's money to all the kids on the ship, and more than last year too. But then I realized that would totally clean me out.
But a ranger never gives up! So I decided to have a giant New Year's cash blowout.
Hahaha!
Sigh, I wanted a new scarf for myself...

Will (SR)

Happy New Year!
When I think of New Year's, I think slimes, don't you?
That slurptacular texture is just like a sumptuous holiday pudding.
Oh, they're so cute. I just want to eat them up! Don't you?

Happy New Year. No time to sleep in now! We must get ready to depart!
What's the hurry you ask? I have to write the first monster journal of the year, of course.And tomorrow I write the second journal entry. And the third after that. Ah, the monsters... they are waiting for me!

Happy New Year! I bet this year's going to be great!
Hm? You had your fortune read? As it just so happens, I did too. Looks like I'm in for terrible luck. How thrilling that is.
Look at what was written!
I was told that I would encounter a number of unknown perils throughout our journey and to beware of menacing dangers!

Sigh...
Oh, (Captain). A moment of your time?
I went to the shrine today to draw my fortune slip, but all that's written on it is doom and gloom.
Here, read it for yourself.
"Stability at home, protection from illness, fortuitous wealth awaits..."
Nothing at all about brushes with monsters!
Where are my near-death experiences? My staredowns with rare beasties? Believing the unbelievable? I was hoping for something more thrilling.

Wulf and Renie (Halloween)

Wulf: Thank you, (Captain). And a...
Happy New Year to you too.
I didn't know you used that expression like us. We werewolves use it, but...
Renie is so indifferent to seasonal events...
With just the two of us... it gets hard to remember what is acceptable to say.
(Captain), we... look forward to another year with you.

Wulf: (Captain), happy New Year.
Renie: ...!
Wulf: Renie.
Renie: Happy New Year...
I did it. Can we go back to our room already?
Wulf: Sigh... I hope you don't mind her manners, (Captain).
We're sure to be relying on you very much this year as well, so I asked Renie to greet you at least.
It may not have been the most cordial of greetings, but I suppose we can take it one step at a time.
We look forward to another great year with you, (Captain).

Wulf: (Captain), is that you? Staying up late to celebrate the new year? I understand.
Renie and I are doing the same. She insisted on seeing the sunrise later.
And she'd rather stay awake instead of waking early.
She's waiting in our room while I grab a midnight snack for us.
There's a fifty-fifty chance she won't manage to make it until morning.
You'll stay up with us? I'd appreciate it greatly if you would.
Renie will have an easier time if she has someone else to talk to.
Let's hurry along then. Hopefully she hasn't fallen asleep while I've been gone.

Renie: Mrg...
Wulf: Are you still sleepy, Renie? Let me tuck you back into bed.
Renie: Like I said, I'm fine...
Wulf: Sigh...
Sorry, (Captain). As much as I appreciate your invite to see the sunrise together...
It appears Renie needs more rest, even if she was looking forward to this.
Renie: Bad Wulf.
Why does (Captain) get all the attention? I want a piggyback ride...
Wulf: Of course, Renie. My back's all yours.

Yaia (Holiday)

Happy New Year!
Hey, so, I made lots of New Year's treats for everyone. Do you think they'll like them?
You think so? Ehehe. I sure hope so!

Hey! Listen, listen! I always make New Year's treats, but this year I made a New Year's song too!
Oh happy day, time for snacks!♪
Lots of little treats, New Year's snacks!♪
Special goodie goodies, made by Katalina—♪
Yes, you heard right! Katalina helped me make these snacks! Here, try some!

New Year's feast, New Year's feast... Guess how I decorated the food—I put a sticker of Charley Horse on it!
Huh? I did good? Hehehe, thank you!
I get a present as a reward? Yay! Thank you, big broGran is the Main Character/sisDjeeta is the Main Character!
I shall never forget this splendid gesture.
I sound cool? Hehe, I heard Daddy say that once!

Mochi, mochi, mochi! Stretchy, squishy, mochi!
Oh, Big BroGran is the Main Character/SisDjeeta is the Main Character! Look, I'm making New Year's soup.
Daddy said that New Year's soup is a must for the new year!
Oh, by the way! What do you like in your soup, Big BroGran is the Main Character/SisDjeeta is the Main Character?
Red miso? White miso? Or just plain soup?
I'm gonna make this New Year's soup just the way you like it!

You (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Yep, I know what New Year's resolutions are.
My goals for this year are to learn how to be more fashionable and to completely stop grinding my teeth.
That way I can be more womanly like Sis Yuel and Sis Societte, you know?

  • Choose: Aren't you cute enough as you are?
    What the! Since when am I cute!
  • Choose: Bro Kou will be happy to hear that!
    Th-this has nothing to do with him!

Gimme a break! Teasing me is no way to start off the new year!
Damn it... It hasn't even been a day yet, and I already started grinding my teeth again!
Tch. That one doesn't count! You're gonna help me kick the habit, (Captain)!

(Captain)! Mochi sure is fun, isn't it? See how they puff up when you grill them?
When you bite into it, it's chewy and stretches... but the puffy parts are thin and crispy!
Then you dunk it in this sauce, right? It gets all sweet and sticky, and tastes so good!
I'm really loving this! It's my first time having mochi, and it's so much fun! Not to mention delicious!
How do you like to have your mochi, (Captain)? I wanna know!

Streeetch.
Haha! Look, (Captain)! This mochi's really stretchy!
Sis Yuel and Sis Societte hammered some mochi and made these! Amazing, right?
They're super chewy and taste really good... I want to try hammering mochi sometime too...
Choose: Let's make some together.
You mean it? Can I really try hammering mochi?
But Bro Kou told me that you need to be in sync with your partner when hammering mochi...
But I'm sure the two of us'll be just fine! Let's start making some!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hm? You've got a present for me? What is it...
Wait, it's rupies! What's this for? Did I help you out with something?
Oh... I didn't know there was a custom like that!
Okay, then I guess I should give you some New Year's rupies too!
Huh? No need? But then it'll only be me getting a present...
Okay, how about we go to a festival at a shrine together then? I'll treat you to some things there! Haha!

Yuel (Event)

I hear the sunrise is a real beauty this time of the year!
How about we go watch it together? It'll be quite a climb though if we want the best view!
But hey, come wit' me and you'll be just fine!
Let's make tracks! Ahaha!

(Captain), where's my New Year's present?
You don't have one for me? Aww, but why not?
Because we'll be together this year too? Mm, fair enough...
It's okay if ya won't give me a present. I still want to be with ya—Hey, look what ya just made me say!
Enough about New Year's gifts! Let's go out fer a night of fun, (Captain)!

This marks the third year we've been able to spend New Year's Day together, (Captain).
It got me thinkin'... Maybe we oughta do something to mark the occasion?
I know! You can watch as I do funny imitations of other folks in the crew! We'll get our first laughs of the year!
Startin' wit' Lyria—
Aw, what's with the look? Tch... Now you spoiled the mood.
Hm... How 'bout we pay a visit to the shrine?
It's settled then! Best get ready right away, cuz I'm goin' ahead! Ahaha!

Hey, hey! After we're done with our New Year's prayers and such, how about some special pillow kebabs from yours truly!
Ahaha! There's nothin' better for such an auspicious occasion! Go ahead and buy thirty dozen for me!
You're gonna love the textures—crispy fried coating, a chewy mochi inside, all skewered together with crunchy vegetables!
Ooh, then it's slathered in some secret sauce from Akino and grilled until it's good n' juicy! Mm-mm-mm! Perfect!
The more you chew the more you can taste that sweet, saucy flavor!
Oh, I haven't even mentioned the health benefits yet! Eat some now, and you'll be ripe and rarin' to go for a full year!
Go ahead, buy some!
How about it, (Captain)? I'll throw in a l'il somethin' extra if you take the plunge now!
Why am I hawkin' these 'babs? Oh, this old guy from Akino's runnin' a food court for the New Year's festival, and I'm helpin' him out.
He said I could have fifty percent of whatever I sell!
That's why I'm gonna sell a big, ol' stack of 'em! I'll be rich enough to welcome the new year with style! Ahaha!

Yuisis (Yukata)

Happy New Year, Boss. Let's hope it's another big year for the crew.
The start of the year's always a good time to tighten things up.
So, Boss, are you gonna get changed?
Huh? For the speech, of course. You've gotta wear something with your tag on it, right?
It's a mark of respect. Everyone knows that.
That's what I always used to do back when I was with the old gang.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to our new adventures together this year.
I prepared a New Year's meal for you today.
I'm pretty good at this kind of stuff. I used to make New Year's meals as a child with my sisters.
Cooking up your own meals for holidays is said to bring great fortune.
And the tastier it is, the more fortune will come your way.
Or so I hear, at least. So I made it extra delicious!
I'm sure you're gonna love it, (Captain).
Oh! Before that I should wake the others first.
I mean, the first meal of the new year should be enjoyed together with everybody, right?

(Captain). Happy New Year. Out with the old, in with the new.
Would you be up for visiting the shrine with me later?
To celebrate the occasion of course. I'd like to offer my prayers to the gods.
Hm, you want to know what I pray for?
For all in the crew to be safe and in good health, of course.
It's only a given. After all, I consider everyone in the crew to be family.

Hehe. This new year is shapin' up to be a good one already if I'm spendin' the first sunrise with you.
Are you cold? Drink this and you'll warm right up.
Don't worry. Sake it may be, but even someone your age can drink sweet sake.
Oh, look up. The sun should be risin' soon.
But before that, I've got somethin' important to say.
Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm eager to see what fun's in store for us this year.

Zaja (Halloween)

The new year begins...
Hehe, refreshing. I used to celebrate this day with my companions, but that was mostly just us beating up each other.
In any case I'll be relying on you again this year, friend.

I would call this feeling in my heart gratefulness. I'm grateful that I can enter a new year with a friend.
You've seen the visages of the company I kept before. It was no doubt frightening.
But even so you gave me a chance. I hope you will keep thinking that way.

The first sunrise of the year is a beautiful thing.
...
I wonder if my friends at the bottom of the sky are watching it too.
You say they are?
... Yes, friend. You're probably right.
Let's have another great year, (Captain).

Nnn... (Captain)... Happy New Yeee—
Mmph... Sorry... There's nothing very wrong with me...
I actually just threw my back out doing heavy lifting as part of year-end cleaning...
And there are so many chores to do as it is... Sorting out weaponry, preparing food...
Hm? You'd like me to take it easy and leave things to the others?
But... Would that really be okay?
Mmph... Got it. When you look me straight in the eyes like that...
Sigh... I guess it may not be so bad to take New Year's off...

Zehek (Event)

Happy New Year. This is surely the year I cure myself of this sickness.
Cough... Ungh... Haa... Haa... You'd best make sure you don't catch a cold either.

Urgh... C-cough! Agh... Huff... Happy... New... Hack!
Urghh! Ugh! Cough! Wheeze... Cough... Huff...
Haah... Sorry about that... My magi—Uurgh... I... won't let it take over! Huff... Wheeze...
Wheeze... Whew... Hahaha... Umm... I... Sorry you have to see me like this...
Sigh... What a way to start the year, huh?

(Captain)... Urgh, ack... Huff... Hufff... Happy... Ngh... New Year...
Rgh... Aaarrggghhh! Sorry... My magic... Yaaargh... Pant... Wheeze...
Okay, I've calmed down a bit... How odd that I didn't feel anything at all this morning.
Huh? Oh, I got this little slip of paper detailing my fortune at the shrine.
It says that my ailment will be cured eventua—Rgh... Maybe just not so soon...
I don't truly believe a slip of paper to have any magical power, but I do find comfort in the message.
But enough of that... Huh? You want me to read more of the message, (Captain)?
"Save others to save yourself." Hm, I see...
Cough...
Rgh... Aack... Graagh! Huff... Puff... So that's what I must do, eh?
Ungh! Yaargh! Huff, huff... I'll see to it...

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It's important that I start the year off with a proper New Year's greeting—which starts wich proper sitting posture.
Anyhow, my body feels quite sound today... Perhaps an omen that this year will be the year I overcome this curse?
Heh... I don't know how this year's gonna turn out for me, but let's make it a good one, (Captain).
I thought I might go to a shrine later today and...
Ngh... Guh, graaaurgh!
Sorry... My legs went numb after sitting like this for so long. Could... could you wait until I can move again?

Zeta (Event)

What'd you say? You wanna use my spear to send up fireworks for the new year?
Don't be stupid! You can't use my spear like that... Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch though...

Huh? You wanna do that again this year? Well... all right.
Stand back! Here it goes!
Spear of Arvess! Show us your power as we celebrate the new year! Resolute Blast!
I'll admit that special attack looked pretty cool, but I'll be in hot water if we don't cut it out now. You can count on it...

Ahhh... The new year is finally here. But we had some pretty wild adventures last year, huh?
Hm? You had some fun? Ha-ha! Way to look on the bright side, (Captain)!
Well, I guess my year wasn't so bad either...
I learned once again that I can always count on you to back me up in a pinch...
Ha-ha, don't make that face! Are you that surprised to hear that from me? I'm not stingy about giving kudos to those who deserve it.
Now then, I think it's about time we get this New Year's party started! Let's go, (Captain)!

Hrng...
H-Happy New Year, (Captain).
Me? Yeah, I'm completely bushed. We've had a lot going on at the Society. I'm actually so tired, I'm ready to go back to bed...
I don't think I can do this anymore without your help, (Captain). The situation at the Society gets worse every year...
Ah, sorry for grumbling during what's supposed to be a happy New Year. I don't usually show this side of myself to others.
...
Mng... Why can't every day be like today?
Yawn...

Zooey (Event)

Happy New Year.
So skydwellers celebrate the beginning of a new year. Interesting. Much like these mochi.
They're curiously chewy, and extremly... delicious. The red-bean soup is also kind of sweet.
This New Year's tradition relly is... excellent.

(Captain), I challenge you.
Stay calm. I don't mean to a duel, but to battledore.
The winner is allowed to draw all over the loser's body.
Hehe. I know a lot, right? I did my homework.
Let's get this party started. I'm going to draw faces all over your body.
By the way... How exactly do we know who wins in battledore?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
As an envoy of the Divine Generals, I've decided to perform my priestess duties.
For those who cannot make the trek to a shrine, I will travel to them and wish them well.
A good idea, correct? Before that, I will bless you.
I made up my mind that you would be my first. Hehehe... Come to my side and receive my blessing.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
That's right, I'm wearing this outfit to do my duty as a traveling priestess.
Last year it was a great success, so I'm going to visit every island again this year to spread that same joy.
You're first on my list, of course, (Captain).
What? You want to come with me?
Haha... I wouldn't mind at all. That will give me more chances to grant you blessings...
No, wait. That would throw off the blessing balance.
But I'd like to bring you with me to see everyone's smiling faces... I'm so torn...
