#lost audio

And yeah I know it can probably be summed up as “Quinn was being a shithead.”

Long story short, after much much much toil of trying to surf through computer- and audio-nerds' jargon and decidedly untrustworthy-named websites, I was finally able to crack the .acb and .awb audio files that people were able to preserve of the Dragalia voice cast! (If you've never heard of those audio files, well then, now you know where I was starting at, too... Let's just put it this way - it's an audio file that even audio players/editors like Audacity aren't equip to handle, at least ordinarily.)

And as you might suspect from the title, Phares had three voice lines that go unaccounted for in his actual unit anywhere in the game. Strangely, all three I'm guessing seem to hail from The Blood That Binds event, which makes it doubly strange since, well, we didn't get voiced events here.

Transcripts in order (and hopefully the actual voicelines, if you want to take a listen!):

"We have our belief in possibility to thank for our retaking the Halidom."

"It's been so long since we were all together, and yet fate prevents us from enjoying it."

"A summons from Leonidas? I have a bad feeling about this..."

Also not sure this one is truly lost per se but it's certainly a line not recorded in the wiki despite being 'accessible' (for however a very short window in-game) in the form of his summon quote, which is: "Let us begin our inquiry into truth!"

Hm, actually, before I post, I think I might take a guess that these are instead lines for him on the homescreen while the event was active, which might make them not 'unknown' per se but certainly inaccessible now, since I highly doubt anyone caught ordinary gameplay of all of them occurring.

so basically on the original mid-late '90s website for Decal (an obscure San Francisco punk band I like that I talk about a little bit on my pinned post) there's....this section of the site (called Homemade Spaceship) which i assume was a side project of Decal's lead singer/lead guitarist Bob Conlon. (screenshot of main menu below)

another interesting thing is not one, but TWO (and maybe even three if you count the main-main menu) pages on the site that this strange amalgamation is on POSSIBLY INDIRECTLY mention the Homemade Spaceship site having some kind of audio:
