New discoveries in Brave Story: New Traveler!
Meladee likes Leynart. ~gets smacked~ No, really! ;_;
See, I have a tendency to use my warrior-type characters together, so after getting Leynart as a party member, I had them fight together. And I noticed that Meladee’s set of expressions/grunts/hi-yah! changed. They got like, well, super-girly. Like damsel-in-distress-sounding a little. (Normally, when she heals, she says something like “Hang in there!” But if Leynart’s by her side, she goes, “Hora yo” [translates to something like, "Here you go"] in this high-pitched kind of voice…=_=;;)
As you may guess, I got annoyed at that. Then, because my mind just works that way (…OTL), I started wondering if it was because Meladee likes Leynart.
And yes, I tested it, and it would seem Meladee only uses the DID set when Leynart’s in battle with her. =<
Thankfully (for me), I'd already decided that Meladee and Leynart shouldn't be in battle together. I think it had something to do with spells, but I can't remember. Nowadays, Meladee fights with Sogreth, and Yuno with Leynart. Ropple I tend to ignore (>_>;;) (Tatsya you can’t switch out ever.)
Bravesouls
Yuno’s you get from…um, Kutz’s adjunct (can’t remember his name, ;_;), after you meet Kutz, either before or after you go on the mission. (Shuddap, I can’t remember that either. ;;_;;) Her bravesoul lets her hit two targets when she attacks.
Tatsuya’s you get automatically after fighting Rei in the “real world.” Or I think it’s automatic; I think you only get his bravesoul if you don’t die against Rei. Not that I know what happens if you die in that fight, but I highly suspect that even if you die, it’ll o to the cutscene where Rei runs away, and then goes straight to the scene where Tatsuyua tells his party what happens, bypassing the scene the firewyrm king goes, “Rawr, you’re awesome. thumbs up! =D”. Then again, that’s all just speculation. Could be that you really do get it automatically. (But I don’t think so. The Tatsuya-explains and bravesoul cutscenes load separately.) Tatsuya’s supposedly sometimes revives him after getting K.O’d, but I haven’t seen it yet (not like I arbitrarily let him get killed, anyway).
Meladee’s you get at the Firewyrm (Lair? um…). After the Voulgh scene, you’ll want to re-enter there, anyway, for the treasure jars. (The game kicks you out without letting you gain control once in there.) Talk to the Firewyrm King, and he’ll address Meladee as a Highlander, and Meladee gets her bravesoul. Her bravesoul sometimes lets her counter-hit when she gets hit. =D
The rest I haven’t gotten yet, but looking at the above situations, I think I might have missed Sogreth’s. His would probably deal with his son, right? ._.

Every character voice starts to change depending on the unity level. Tatsuya sounded like he was grumbling when he was using Partners in Crime for the first few times, but after awhile he seemed to get excited about it. But never mind about that.
My favourite team? Tatsuya, Yuno and Meladee. It really helps to have 3 healers in one team. (Trying to desperately hide the fact he plays Brave Story to ogle the girls.) When the three of them get their Triple Unity skill: Girl Trouble, it’s definitely worth all that hard work to see Meladee shake some @$$ and act sexy for once.
I wonder how Meladee would look like in Yuno’s costume… *nosebleed slowly trickling down*
