Talking to roos as a human

[Copyrighted Name]

Don't know if this is news or not, but I was playing Ys II Complete and found out you can talk to the roos in human form! They all speak using runes (a la The Hobbit), but I was crazy enough to "translate" their sentences. Here's what each of them says:

Baeroo: ......
Luke: Hello human
Luroo: Ridiculous.
Bruce: Please lend money*
Plute: Nihonngo wakari masuka
Tareroo: How do you do
Turoo: Don't touch me
Neroo: ...zzz...

* The "ea" in please is a single rune. I presumed it was a combined "ea" sound because that's the only thing that makes sense.

And yes, Luroo's sentence is the only one with a period, at least to my recollection.

Interesting! But I do not understand what you mean by runes. Screenshot?

FM-77~! You've had to have seen them in the games before!!!

These things --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes

I don't think I've seen them in games, but I have seen them in reality. I am Scandinavian, after all, haha. There are actually some old findings with runes right here where I live.

My post was poorly constructed. I meant that I haven't seen any runes in Ys 2, so I wanted to see a screenshot from the game with them.

Well, if you don't talk to them as Adol-Roo, they'll get all >:E at him and spew Runes.

Blurry photo for yooouuuuuuu:

Also, the Ultima games have runes everywhere. DDDD:

Wow that pretty cool, I never new that when I was human, cause I played the PCE Ys for the first time a couple months before when I finally found some roms and when I got the eternal games I went threw it a little too fast. So I didn't talk to the roos when I was human, though thinking about it now is a little sad, even if I did I wouldn't know their were ruins until later on anyways.

Weird. I tried to talk to the Roos in the PCE version as a human and Adol just attacked them.

Talking to them as humans is ETERNAL and COMPLETe exclusive. XD

Everywhere else you kill them. The poor things. =s (They're strong btw.)
