JP - World Tour: Master Quotes and Dialogue
This is a dump of all the master quotes that JP has in World Tour. It includes stuff like his responses to different gifts, or different answers depending on dialogue options for the conversations you have with him. Did my best to group them into sections that made the most sense!
! Note !
It's a bit hard to tell -when- exactly the quotes trigger, since none of that information is in the raw text file. I'm doing my best to remember + context clues to try an contextualize each scenario, but sorry if they get mixed up a bit!!
I also tried to format them so that his different responses to what your avatar chooses to answer with are also distinguishable. Again, posting this as a tumblr post might not have been the best but argh i hate google docs more, so.
ENJOY:
Upon first speaking to him
When the fog clears, you can see the old district from here.
It's a far cry from flourishing, but it is nonetheless a place the teeming masses of Nayshall call home.
To build a fighting arena while leaving such a teeming nexus of humanity to languish is...twisted.
I suppose that's what you're thinking?
It doesn't sit well with me.
I'm not sure how I feel about it.
......
Such debasement is the very nature of growth itself.
For something to thrive, something else must wilt and wither.
A fact of life easily understood to a fledgling fighter such as yourself.
For now, who you are seems of little concern to me.
If it is power you seek, in power I will instruct.
Teach me.
I have but a single request. No need to worry. It's quite trifling.
I don't need your instruction.
......
Unlocking new specials
Very well.
Commit to memory the following move.
///
I have a new kind of power for you.
Go ahead. Try it.
Prompting him to spar
You wish to test your mettle?
(Agreeing): Very well. Be my guest.
(Upon declining): By all means, think on it.
(After match): Well, that's that, then.
///
2. How is your Psycho Power progressing?
Show me, would you?
(Upon declining): Not quite ready, are you?
///
3. Hm. It seems to be time.
Allow me to test you.
(Upon declining): Perhaps my expectations were misplaced.
///
4. I believe you may now prove a match for me. Would you agree?
That I do.
I'm...not so sure about that.
Is that so? Very well, then.
(After sparring, either one of the two):
Very good.
That will do.
(Note: Not quite sure where these belong, but it might be after you spar with him?)
Very well. Seeing one's own moves wielded by others is quite fascinating.
Unlocking JP as an assist in battle
Practical hands-on combat experience is a splendid way to learn.
Let us study together, if you are so inclined.
Misc. dialogue. They change as you gain more bond points with him.
"Master"?
If that is what you wish to call me, by all means, go right ahead.
///
Physical combat is such an irrational thing.
In attempting to strike down your foe, you open yourself to attack as well.
If your goal is to see another human laid low, there are far better methods available, and yet.
///
Looking for meaningless banter, are we?
///
Ask, and I'll be the first to tell you.
I do not believe my skills in combat to be particularly exceptional.
Of course, I don't believe them to be entirely lacking, either.
///
What would I do if someone asked me to teach them my techniques...so that they could best me with them?
I would teach them, of course. Do you take issue with that?
///
My apologies, but I'm not one for small talk.
I struggle to keep track of the topics of gossip, you see.
///
Ah, yes. Victory.
The masses delight in victory, do they not?
Those who ruminate upon what victory truly means, however, are a far rarer breed.
///
I don't particularly care what manner of individual you are.
So long as you don't impede me, that is.
///
Why do I fight?
Amusing. I don't consider what I do "fighting," per se.
But if that's how you perceive things, I suppose I may be a fighter after all.
///
You came to me seeking strength.
A rapacious greed motivates you. I suggest you acknowledge that.
You are a heretic, driven by greed, living entirely within obsessive extremes.
///
We may have discussed this before, but it bears repeating.
Physical combat is an irrational act.
You work tirelessly to master that irrationality.
It's all quite alien to me, I must concede. But if this is what you want, I won't stop you.
///
You said you...wanted to grow stronger, yes?
You have Psycho Power now. Use it to your heart's desire.
///
I believe his name was...Bosch?
His grasp of Psycho Power was far greater than yours.
///
The desire to become stronger is a curious thing indeed.
For living things, it may very well be a natural inclination.
Strength is outwardly useful for survival, for one.
That being said, it is not necessarily the strong who survive.
In reality, to survive...is to adapt.
///
There was a man who went by the name M. Bison.
Those who sought strength inevitably encountered him.
Such was his power.
He wished to bring all things on this Earth under his control, entirely of his own strength.
He earnestly believed he could attain this goal.
This force I command—this so-called Psycho Power...
Bison researched it, seeking a means to amplify his own strength, you see.

I have a question for you.
Do you believe this world to be just?
I do.
Then we are in agreement. The world is a good and righteous place.
I do not.
Ah, so you're a realist? A noble perspective.
There are exceptions, of course. But I believe man is fundamentally good.
By trusting each other and building mutually supportive societies, humanity has prospered.
Goodness inspires amity and trust in others. It is a survival tactic employed by the human race.
Which raises the question—what is evil?
Perhaps evil refers to expropriating the goodness of others for one's own ends.
Myself?
I am merely one of the world's minuscule many, striving every day to do good.
Not unlike everyone else. Heh heh.
Quest - 1
Have you ever given any thought to this thing we call "the economy"?
Formless though it may be, its very existence drives the lives—and deaths—of billions.
To know what drives others to action is one of the fundamentals of combat.
Now go on. Consume. Consuming...is knowing.
(Upon quest completion)
Well done. So? Any impressions?
I think I've made a realization.
I'm not sure I understand.
Splendid.
Whether you've gained something from this matters little.
At times, an expected profit exerts more power over individuals than the profit itself.
And the world's economic engines are no different.
Quest - 2
You're aware of the insurgent group within this country, are you not?
Intel I've acquired suggests money to fund their operations will be changing hands...
What do you suppose we should do about that?
For now, allow me to show you where the exchange will be taking place.
(Upon quest completion)
You found the scene of the exchange? Goodness.
So. How much was there?
200,000 zenny.
Quite the impressive sum. You can go ahead and keep it. It's only fair compensation for a job well done.
Zero zenny.
(I can't find the quote!!! but he says something like "oh you let them get away that's unfortunate, I would have let you keep the money too but oh well")
A Memory from JP - 1
Was there something you wished to ask me?
Tell me about the terror attacks in Nayshall.
Ah yes. The terror attacks. An organization financing The Suval'hal Martial Arts Tournament sought to make fraudulent financial transactions. To do so, they worked with anti-government forces to cause a bombing scare in the city. I suspect you already know this, but the organization in question is the US-based Masters Foundation. In the midst of all that chaos, it seems Ken Masters, the foundation's vice chairman, resigned from his position. Was he driven to commit such heinous acts out of a blind lust for power?
Tell me about the alleged money laundering.
My, straight to the point, I see. Allow me to provide a straight answer, then. Nayshall's financial infrastructure is built upon cryptocurrency technology. If you're inquiring as to whether it's possible to use such a system to launder money...the answer is yes.
Regrettably, what I've told you is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
All I can say for certain is this: People seek the answers they wish to hear.
A Memory from JP - 2
The Suval'hal Martial Arts Tournament?
What of it?
Tell me about Bosch.
Ah, you refer to the individual who brought a bomb to the awards ceremony. He detonated himself while the entire world looked on. Truly shocking.
Tell me about the Champion Belt bomb.
The bomb was likely intended for the master of ceremonies. That is to say...myself. Anti-government forces believe that eliminating me will return Nayshall to its former glory. They are mistaken.
That incident spurred further pressure against the anti-government forces.
Hardly surprising, considering innocent children almost became collateral damage.
Such acts cannot be condoned.
But what's done is done.
This may very well be the end of the tournament. Or perhaps it will continue.
Either is fine by me.
A Bond with JP - 1
Have you ever owned cats?
I have one by the name of Cybele.
When he was a kitten, so winsome and charming, he picked up a curious habit.
He would chase his own tail endlessly. Around and around in circles.
And what do you suppose Cybele did one day?
He caught the tail he had been chasing all that time...and bit it clean off.
Indeed, his own tail.
His thought process in this endeavor confounds me. Did he not realize the tail was his own?
Or perhaps he was keenly aware, and continued in the act regardless?
......
A bobtail he may have become...
But he remained winningly handsome. Stunningly so.
A Bond with JP - 2
As its name suggests, Psycho Power is influenced by the strength of one's psyche.
Without a strong mind to support it, great power will always remain out of reach.
A heart subjected to power beyond its control will shatter.
We discussed M. Bison, leader of Shadaloo, did we not?
I worked under him, managing the organization's financial matters.
A financial officer hardly requires martial prowess. And yet...
I desired Psycho Power. And I attained it.
Why, you ask?
I suppose I wanted to see the world through the same lens as Bison.
But what of you?
Bison sought to rule the world through violence and fear. Once you make his power yours...
How will the world look to you then, I wonder? Hahahaha...
A Bond with JP - 3
You selected me as a teacher of your own volition.
Or so you think. Isn't that right?
Reflect upon the human will for a moment. To what extent are your actions conscious acts?
There's a famous experiment. A person thinks, "I wish to move my arm," and does just that.
But in reality, it is only after moving your arm that your brain thinks upon it.
Fascinating, is it not?
The sensation of willfully choosing something only occurs after the choice has been made.
In which case...what do you believe you've chosen by studying under me?
"I wish to become stronger," perhaps? Was it truly you who thought that?
A Bond with JP - 4
Once, there was an organization called Shadaloo.
They ran an experiment. It attempted to imbue a large number of test subjects with Psycho Power.
By force, in most cases. Goodness, Shadaloo was simply dreadful.
Subjects without a propensity for Psycho Power were broken by it utterly, and perished.
Only a select few had this aptitude, and even fewer endured the training necessary to master such power.
You are one of those lucky few.
Or perhaps... Perhaps Psycho Power chose you.
But you are free to interpret things as you please.
Gifting him stuff!
(One of the three upon prompting gifts)
Why, thank you.
Thank you. I humbly accept.
Appreciated. I suppose I should thank you.
(Given a generic gift)
Yes, quite impressive. I'm sure there's someone out there who would enjoy this.
(Given Antique cards)
Oh? You're giving me trash? A good luck charm, you say? Hrm.
In any card game, using old cards is forbidden. That's a fundamental rule, I'll have you know.
(Given an Absurd Check)
You're giving me a check? I used these all the time for work, once upon a time. A check can be used in all manner of ways... Even if it bounces.
Attaining skill mastery
I'm hardly an expert when it comes to Psycho Power. With that said...
I sense in it something akin to bloodlust.
To wit, your savagery outstrips my own.
This I impart unto you: Strength... is meaningless.
You must be disappointed.
