@@PlanetariBeats Yes. Very sad and heartbreaking indeed. Not only is our speedy hero slowing dying, but he's losing his memory as well. Poor Sonic.......😢😭

@@ataladin87 it just startled me lol, it was completely silent otherwise save for the background music and I wasn't expecting to hear Sonic suddenly say something out of the blue after minutes of nothing
I really wish these played while your were moving around. I can appreciate making them idle only, as though while Sonic stops to take in the view he thinks about his friends and past adventures. However staying still is such a rarity in this game and as a result you miss a lot of this genuinely great dialogue.
Probably gonna have the cyber energy corrupt him and cause him to lose his memories, same with his friends, maybe the memory tokens would actually bring back his friends memories that’s why their called well “memory tokens”
this actually makes that “cyberspace is revolved around sonic’s memories” thing make sense along with the rumors that sonic was going to deal with regaining his memories or smthn like that
@@Zero_de_Nova there are chances that the Phantom Ruby, The End, Chaos and the Chaos Emeralds are all connected.

sonic just experienced the same thing shadow has experienced, except sonic experienced it a bit worse, sonic got tricked by the end like how shadow got tricked by black doom and at last they both lost memories, but the difference is that shadow has only forgot his past which is not that bad while sonic was not only losing the memories of his past, he was losing all of his memories, what actaully happened is the end was taking over sonic's mind, sonic was losing everything he remembered, he forgot why he is doing what he needs to do, he forgot what his name, he is saying robotic and spooky lines like objective complete, he was taken over, what tails meant about sonic stuck between realites he meant he is stuck between the reality and cyberspace, he still physically in his world but his memories, his powers and almost everything was in cyberspace, the same thing happening to the end but in an opposite which makes the end different, the end is still in cyberspace but his memories, his mind and half of his powers are inside sonic's body, that's what actaully happened.
So one person confirmed on Twitter that they heard the "My name is..." line while standing idly on this island. It just seems like these lines are EXTREMELY unlikely to trigger.

There's a line similar to one of these here that I encountered, I forgot if it was at the desert or volcano island, but Sonic says "It's so hot here, but why do I feel so cold?"
A nice detail they should of added was during gameplay, Sonic had the corruption effects. He did in the cutscenes, but not during the player segments. Also it would be cool if the screen had a corruption effect.
@Sunset's Channel his idle changes to the head holding on Chaos, and then changes yet again on Rhea to be him hunched completely over, hands on his knees, breathing heavily enough to visibly see it
As you progress, Sonic's idle poses will change depending on how many of Sonic's friends have been freed from their red orb prisons. He will have some random poses at the beginning of the game. After freeing Tails, he looks tired in cutscenes and in-game, while idle, he will have this slightly pained look with his left hand pressed against his forehead. I wish there is a more visual effect though. Currently, you have to deliberately notice it.

@@Braveheartbronie I know right? He's using vocabulary similarly to The End which has been in his head for the whole game! Maybe by that point he can only remember the objective The End is telling him to complete.
These lines are seriously disturbing... Don't get me wrong, I love this new level of depth these lines create as it just makes what's happening to Sonic all the more heartbreaking and tragic and really adds on to just how dire the situation is. Still, when you really think about what's happening to Sonic as he says those things, it's really quite terrifying...
Man that would have sold how serious Sonic's corruption was getting. Him make one of those quotes before a tower, heck even HALF of them, would show just how bad he was getting. I'm glad that they are least got the idle animations showing how he's strugglin.
@@forestreflection2066 huh, here I thought it was going to be a unskippable tutorial. At the end I idled too long and I was lectured what to do by the guilding voice. The one that tells Sonic about the Titians? That one, plus I couldn't move. This was on the final island too...
I think as he was getting corrupted, he was being split between realities. Like Amy said, it feels detached. His mind and body were struggling to stay together while he was inflicted with the cyber energy.
Honestly, while Island 4 is pretty much just exposition island with nothing to do, it did such a good job with setting up just how dire Sonic's situation is. Seriously, I've never felt this tension before in any other Sonic game. I like that you can see that he's in pain and losing energy all throughout the island, but what would've made this even better is if they did some "Storytelling through Gameplay" - something like the buffed boost not working even if you had Max rings, or you can't do tricks at all, or your acceleration gets reduced - just to hammer in the point that Sonic is growing weaker with every step he's taking.
Imagine too if they REALLY sold that. Maybe with each second tower his abilities will all drop, and we're talking enough your players will notice. I imagine some people would go into the settings like ayo is my game glitching? But when you try to change the sliders (like max boost speed, acceleration etc) it will NOT LET YOU. As simple as a "zzt" sound, or worse, what if you heard ambient spacey noises or growling, almost like The End knows what you're doing? I think that'd have been amazing, and the amount of "OH SHIT" as players really, really realise that this is exactly what they want... that this is essentially you freeing something sinister.
@@Benjamin-vl2oh I'd argue hes been shown it. When he pushes tails into the elevator home in colors to fight the nega wisp armor, when he was angry at eggman for brainwashing tails, when he played him being locked up on the death egg like it was no biggie, him being in the rookies mind when they face infinite, etc.
Gosh, if it was about memories... I think we'd have a better story, it would make sense how the cure would be his friends to inhabit him... Also, kinda chilling when he said "Objective... complete." It's as if he became one of the machines he fought. Darn I would've wished they kept it
Hearing sonic and eggman's voice being different again just keeps hitting me. Sonic really felt like he matured, as well as eggman not sounding too much like an insane person.
Daaaang some of these are dark. Rogers voice acting was so on point. Even when Sonic looses to the corruption and cries out in pain- THAT was when Roger making me tear up without saying a word. Talented guy.
Those lines aren't unused, they come if you stay enough time in Rhea Island. I did enough time to hear the line "Push! Through it! Endure!". Poor Sonic... His suffering is so sad to see... We can see him be in a lot of pain, weakened, and even losing his memories... My god it's so cruel! And Roger Craig Smith's performance really rocked here, I felt Sonic's pain very well! Poor sweet guy...
I agree and tbh hearing him in this game shows the range he has. ESPECIALLY that full corruption scene and the scream he let out. I felt really sad for what was happening to sonic.
The fans complaining about Roger is a thing I will never get when he clearly shows his chops are good here. Can you really imagine Jason cartoonish voice trying to sell those lines, I can't.
It really baffles me how much hate Roger gets when hes a really good VA and forgets a lot of times its sega's direction and not him. They finally given him an opportunity to do what he does best. Honestly a perfect fit for serious tones with Sonic
0:47 Shadow The Hedgehog: Your name is Sonic Sonic The Hedgehog: Why does that name haunt me? It’s the only thing I can remember? *Shadow The Hedgehog smiles*
I kinda wish they had shown the cyber corruption physically spreading each time you complete a tower, but that would've likely been hard to implement with the colors of the moves/boost as well as making it even more heartbreaking and emotional
I can say for a fact these weren't cut. They're indeed idle dialogue on Rhea Island. You just have to wait long enough, as they seem to occur randomly while not doing anything. One other that I got that wasn't included here: "I'm still here...aren't I?"
@@tailsfan11westandwithukraine I'm not sure exactly what triggers them. You can wait a long time and not have one pop up at all. Other times, it can happen as quickly as 10 minutes. Sometimes, it's Sonic saying something. Other times it's just the 'voice' telling you tips on how to progress. There is idle dialogue for the Cyberspace stages, too, which may or may not occur when standing still for a while.
@@mitchelljohnson1198 maybe some of them only appear in the middle of a play through. Every other island’s uncut dialogue, not including the stage levels, has been heard by me. I’ll test this out one time, but I still have my beliefs that they simply don’t happen on my console, the Switch. What console or device are you playing on?
Poor Sonic.........He's literally fighting for his life and the lives of his friends here. 😢 It's even more profound, tragic and quite frankly terrifying because by this point, he's almost fully corrupted, rapidly beginning to lose his memory and is literally running to his death. 😢😭 And he's NOT in denial either(I know that he had to reassure Amy and especially Tails when he saved them and even sent Tails off on a mission, but I'm pretty sure he wanted to spare his dear friends the mental agony of watching him weaken). In fact, I'm pretty sure that by the time he saves Tails, he's at the very least starting to realize what's happening to him. He KNOWS he's going to die. And yet, he soldiers on, refusing to give up and determined to save everyone, regardless of the consequences. This is exactly why I love Sonic! 💖 He's such a brave, sweet and heroic soul. 💖
This is silly but I genuinely found these lines heartbreaking. It's extraordinary isn't it how fond of a character you can be. I've been playing Sonic since day one and I own every single Sonic game in existence too so I guess that's why.
It seems like they were going to have it so that accumulating so much ‘corrupted data’ was starting to ‘overwrite’ Sonic’s memories. Possibly with that of the Ancients. Kinda like what happened in Stargate SG1 with O’Neill after he got that Ancient archive downloaded into his head.
From what I heard, the "my name is" line and most of these are in game, just you have to be idle for a long period of time and there's no moment in the game where you'll be standing still for that long. I do think if they went a bit farther with him losing his memories and being more corrupted would've been nice to see. It'd be a bit sad/dark but I think a darker sonic plot isnt a bad thing
The “Objective… complete.” line seems a bit out of place to me. Seems more along the lines of something Sage or Omega would say. Makes me think that instead of just memory loss the cyber energy rewrote his brain like a robot. Or maybe it was originally supposed to be Sage taking over his mind much like the she did with the ancient robots and Titans. Would’ve been interesting story wise because while Sage would’ve been trying to take over Sonic’s mind he would’ve been trying to convince her to be good and ultimately winning her over
To me its sounds like the kind of language The End uses while in Sonic's head. I guess it would make sense that Sonic would say that since... pretty much everything else in his mind like memories and stuff is gone except for the voice in his head? That's my interpretation of it anyways.
We need to remember Sonic is no longer the same happy hedgehog from years ago, he is older, his voice is deeper(of course its because of the voice actor changing but yeah) he is losing speed, he is just hitting the old age like anyone else in the world, and he still keeps fighting...he is the best hero anyone could ask for.
Thanks for all the dialogue videos so far. It’s too difficult for me to hunt them down in game, so I hope you’ll keep doing this. I’m counting on you. 🙂
These totally were meant for when he's being corrupted and in the final stages of it during the tower level. It is hard to say if these are truly unused though as i discovered Sonic will say stuff when idled or playing for an extended period(found out while trying to set up my capture card)he randomly said a line about missing Tails running behind him and it actually startled me. But they do kinda explain how it feels as that is left a little vague. But the way sonic describes is was kinda what i assumed it felt like anyway, glad to know i was right lol.
I feel like these lines are supposed to trigger differently during your normal playthrough after each corruption but looks like the writing team scrapped it, a bit disappointing since we could've seen sonic actually struggling a lot more making the game feels much better if these lines are actually used. Too bad they ended up with Sonic being AFK for a short time and then awakened using the Power of Friendship... So much potential scrapped.
Well to be fair, his awakening makes sense since Tails, Knuckles and Amy just re-uploaded themselves to Cyber Space so Sonic wouldn't have to endure their collective burden. Logically, it would work both ways with Sonic becoming corrupted or the others being digitised. From a game standpoint, that also adds a story explanation as to why they're still digitised if you were to go back to past islands for conversations as opposed to just game logic.
i think the different idle poses and the cutscenes show pretty well how sonic is struggling against the corruption and i think that the friends going back into cyberspace to help him finish the fight was cool tails also took charge for once
Actually, I got one of these lines once. I believe a lot of these lines people think got cut actually weren't, and are instead supposed to be played when leaving sonic alone for a bit. It's just that nobody gets them because you don't really stand around doing nothing a lot in a sonic game
good lines but i think the cutscenes in between each tower convey what sonic's going through really well already, and entirely through his movements as well, so i'm honestly glad they're rare and easy to miss. if anything i think sonic's silence speaks more. like sonic the hedgehog, sonic "funny quip machine" the hedgehog, is so dead-set on fighting through hell, saving his friends, and ignoring anyone that tells him he should stop that for once he doesn't want to say a damn thing til he's done
Its the fact when his friends had to handle to corruption in the DLC, they were shocked at how painful it was, Tails even saying that he never thought it was as bad as it was
It really would have been interesting to see how the Cyber corruption would have impacted Super Sonic. Would the Emeralds neutralise the corruption, or would Sonic still be fighting it even in his strongest form?
The emeralds should neutralize the corruption They have been show to have restorative and healing powers. In 06 sonic is ressurected via their power, in generations he and classic sonic are beaten senseless by the time eater but the chaos emeralds heal them, in sonic X he got dragged by an eggman mech but the emeralds healed him when he went super, in the comics he burns a certain sickness away when he goes super.
Super Sonic does look winded when he gets bit by the Knight Titan before pushing through and continuing to fight. You can argue thats because of the corruption, since when against Final Titan (which should be stronger), Super Sonic just has the same animation from when he gets hit by Giganto and Wyvern.
I don't think super sonic can neutralize cyber energy, but I do think that it might give him a boost instead of corrupting him due to the cyber energy actaully being created from the chaos emeralds, if they do not give him a boost then maybe it just changes his look but not getting effected.
I just got to Rhea island on my third play through and I decided to stand still for a bit to see if the lines would play. Got “You’re almost free, guys” after like 10 minutes of standing still
If I had to guess these might’ve been for when sonic climbs those towers before getting fully corrupted and getting paralyzed (?). Probably before or during hitting the buttons or climbing the towers.
He sounds like he’s pushed himself to his limits. Poor Sonic. I feel so bad for him. He looks like he wants to give up. But he knows he can’t. He has to keep going to save his friends
This fits along with one of the earlier leaks that sonic was going to lose his memory to a degree in some form or fashion. Also would make sense for the story trailer since in it he seems to barely remember Amy. Seems the story was initially going to have a little bit of a darker tone, but was scrapped
0:46 Paying homage to Eminem But in all seriousness, this would've helped the corruption of Sonic have more impact, because the true tragedy of it was only brief in the final product

@@Braveheartbronie I know right? He's using vocabulary similarly to The End which has been in his head for the whole game! Maybe by that point he can only remember the objective The End is telling him to complete.
Sonic feels like he's fully not there but keeps moving
These lines are seriously disturbing... Don't get me wrong, I love this new level of depth these lines create as it just makes what's happening to Sonic all the more heartbreaking and tragic and really adds on to just how dire the situation is. Still, when you really think about what's happening to Sonic as he says those things, it's really quite terrifying...
Sonic doesn't have enough memory in his memory card.
cool pfp
Is his memory card set correctly?!
“Objective… complete.”
He’s… he’s becoming a different person…
Man that would have sold how serious Sonic's corruption was getting. Him make one of those quotes before a tower, heck even HALF of them, would show just how bad he was getting. I'm glad that they are least got the idle animations showing how he's strugglin.
Actually these lines are used but it's when you leave sonic idle for a few minutes
@@forestreflection2066 huh, here I thought it was going to be a unskippable tutorial. At the end I idled too long and I was lectured what to do by the guilding voice. The one that tells Sonic about the Titians? That one, plus I couldn't move.
This was on the final island too...
@@michaelsleeman2443 they are rare I enountered the first 2 while sitting idle on one of the towers.
I think as he was getting corrupted, he was being split between realities. Like Amy said, it feels detached. His mind and body were struggling to stay together while he was inflicted with the cyber energy.
Honestly, while Island 4 is pretty much just exposition island with nothing to do, it did such a good job with setting up just how dire Sonic's situation is.
Seriously, I've never felt this tension before in any other Sonic game.
I like that you can see that he's in pain and losing energy all throughout the island, but what would've made this even better is if they did some "Storytelling through Gameplay" - something like the buffed boost not working even if you had Max rings, or you can't do tricks at all, or your acceleration gets reduced - just to hammer in the point that Sonic is growing weaker with every step he's taking.
Imagine too if they REALLY sold that. Maybe with each second tower his abilities will all drop, and we're talking enough your players will notice. I imagine some people would go into the settings like ayo is my game glitching? But when you try to change the sliders (like max boost speed, acceleration etc) it will NOT LET YOU. As simple as a "zzt" sound, or worse, what if you heard ambient spacey noises or growling, almost like The End knows what you're doing? I think that'd have been amazing, and the amount of "OH SHIT" as players really, really realise that this is exactly what they want... that this is essentially you freeing something sinister.
These dialogues, man. Sonic bumping himself up while struggling against the pain reminds me a lot of Spider-Man.
I mean Sonic is the game version of Spider-Man
@@Jet_Genesis720 He is. But he hasn't shown that side of him for a decade because of the writting.
I know and it’s great we see this side of him again
@@Benjamin-vl2oh
I'd argue hes been shown it.
When he pushes tails into the elevator home in colors to fight the nega wisp armor, when he was angry at eggman for brainwashing tails, when he played him being locked up on the death egg like it was no biggie, him being in the rookies mind when they face infinite, etc.
Sonic and Spidey are definitely alike
I love both characters
I like how sonic went from having a cocky personality to have a personality like guts and asta never giving up
So I'm pretty sure Sonic's acting that way because of the corruption.
Whaaaaat? No way.
@@cornbreadpapi shut up
@@cornbreadpapi the sarcasm 😂
You don't say...
@@cornbreadpapi Yeah it's hard to spot so you really have to pay attention to all these hints in order to figure it out.
Gosh, if it was about memories... I think we'd have a better story, it would make sense how the cure would be his friends to inhabit him...
Also, kinda chilling when he said "Objective... complete."
It's as if he became one of the machines he fought.
Darn I would've wished they kept it
WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
But they did keep it. Cyberspace has been shown to revolve around memory. And if you sit still for too long, sonic will say these lines.
Just a clarification for everyone in here. This lines aren't scrapped they play randomly when you're idle. (Sorry for my bad english)
no worries, your english is great
thank you for letting us know btw, that’s really cool
Hearing sonic and eggman's voice being different again just keeps hitting me.
Sonic really felt like he matured, as well as eggman not sounding too much like an insane person.
I have never heard sonic in so much pain before
Sonic Unleashed?
Black knight??
Forces??
@@ataladin87 Forces? 🤣
@@DaxisChaos not even black knight
@@ataladin87 forces no because they told us he was torture if he was in pain he wouldn’t be telling stupid jokes
Daaaang some of these are dark. Rogers voice acting was so on point. Even when Sonic looses to the corruption and cries out in pain- THAT was when Roger making me tear up without saying a word. Talented guy.
Those lines aren't unused, they come if you stay enough time in Rhea Island. I did enough time to hear the line "Push! Through it! Endure!".
Poor Sonic... His suffering is so sad to see... We can see him be in a lot of pain, weakened, and even losing his memories... My god it's so cruel! And Roger Craig Smith's performance really rocked here, I felt Sonic's pain very well! Poor sweet guy...
Is it just me or is the "I'm so cold now, numb" line chilling?
Roger is one hell of a voice actor, it's a shame that most fans find him a poor fit for the character.
I agree and tbh hearing him in this game shows the range he has. ESPECIALLY that full corruption scene and the scream he let out. I felt really sad for what was happening to sonic.
The fans complaining about Roger is a thing I will never get when he clearly shows his chops are good here. Can you really imagine Jason cartoonish voice trying to sell those lines, I can't.
@@ozmintheobserver I definitely can’t see Jason selling that and I love Jason’s work.
@@ozmintheobserver Jason is good for me though. Well, all of the Sonic's VAs were good enough for me.
It really baffles me how much hate Roger gets when hes a really good VA and forgets a lot of times its sega's direction and not him. They finally given him an opportunity to do what he does best. Honestly a perfect fit for serious tones with Sonic
I just discovered another related dialogue on Ares Island. “It’s so hot here…so why do I feel so cold?
0:27 the video visuals glitched for a second there on my end. Strangely fitting.
0:47
Shadow The Hedgehog: Your name is Sonic
Sonic The Hedgehog: Why does that name haunt me?
It’s the only thing I can remember?
*Shadow The Hedgehog smiles*
I kinda wish they had shown the cyber corruption physically spreading each time you complete a tower, but that would've likely been hard to implement with the colors of the moves/boost as well as making it even more heartbreaking and emotional
Ian did say they had to change the story a lot as the game's structure took shape.
I can say for a fact these weren't cut. They're indeed idle dialogue on Rhea Island. You just have to wait long enough, as they seem to occur randomly while not doing anything.
One other that I got that wasn't included here:
"I'm still here...aren't I?"
Are you sure? I stood idle on that island for hours, and nothing was said. Or are they cut from the Nintendo switch version?
“I’m still here… aren’t I?” makes a FANTASTIC contrast to the song “I’m here”
Seriously, how did another player get these uncut voice lines while I got nothing? It doesn’t make sense.
@@tailsfan11westandwithukraine
I'm not sure exactly what triggers them. You can wait a long time and not have one pop up at all. Other times, it can happen as quickly as 10 minutes.
Sometimes, it's Sonic saying something. Other times it's just the 'voice' telling you tips on how to progress.
There is idle dialogue for the Cyberspace stages, too, which may or may not occur when standing still for a while.
@@mitchelljohnson1198 maybe some of them only appear in the middle of a play through. Every other island’s uncut dialogue, not including the stage levels, has been heard by me. I’ll test this out one time, but I still have my beliefs that they simply don’t happen on my console, the Switch. What console or device are you playing on?
This shows how much he really cares for his friends.. that he would put his life on the line for them.
I figured out how to trigger them! You have to be idle in the 4th island for 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes being idle is a voice line.
To get these voice clips. You have to be idle in the 4th island after beating the 3rd island
Poor Sonic.........He's literally fighting for his life and the lives of his friends here. 😢 It's even more profound, tragic and quite frankly terrifying because by this point, he's almost fully corrupted, rapidly beginning to lose his memory and is literally running to his death. 😢😭 And he's NOT in denial either(I know that he had to reassure Amy and especially Tails when he saved them and even sent Tails off on a mission, but I'm pretty sure he wanted to spare his dear friends the mental agony of watching him weaken). In fact, I'm pretty sure that by the time he saves Tails, he's at the very least starting to realize what's happening to him. He KNOWS he's going to die. And yet, he soldiers on, refusing to give up and determined to save everyone, regardless of the consequences. This is exactly why I love Sonic! 💖 He's such a brave, sweet and heroic soul. 💖
Sad that someone who enjoys running cant even feel it
I love how Mr. Flynn showed Sonic being weak as he did in the Metal Virus saga.
that was even more painful than the metal virus for sonic.
this would have made sense along with the way he didn't answer sage in the cutscenes near the end, and he was going forward through pure willpower.
0:47 MY NAME IS VIKTOR REZNOV, AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!
I know "Push through it. Endure." is used in the game. I heard the line in Ouranos Island in between activating the towers.
This is silly but I genuinely found these lines heartbreaking. It's extraordinary isn't it how fond of a character you can be. I've been playing Sonic since day one and I own every single Sonic game in existence too so I guess that's why.
It seems like they were going to have it so that accumulating so much ‘corrupted data’ was starting to ‘overwrite’ Sonic’s memories. Possibly with that of the Ancients.
Kinda like what happened in Stargate SG1 with O’Neill after he got that Ancient archive downloaded into his head.
Seeing an SG-1 reference in a Sonic comment section just completely floored me, didn't realize there was a bigger overlap than just me
From what I heard, the "my name is" line and most of these are in game, just you have to be idle for a long period of time and there's no moment in the game where you'll be standing still for that long.
I do think if they went a bit farther with him losing his memories and being more corrupted would've been nice to see. It'd be a bit sad/dark but I think a darker sonic plot isnt a bad thing
The amount of potential this game had was crazy, even though it delivered.
Hopefully a dlc Or a frontiers 2 will happen
@Intersonality a dlc Maybe
A sequel on the other hand
@@muanims now that's a possiblity
@@muanims I would love a sequel
This aged like wine @@muanims
Roger doing a stellar performance right there, or maybe a "snazzy" performance?
Oh, Nice 06 Reference
HAHAHA One
The “Objective… complete.” line seems a bit out of place to me. Seems more along the lines of something Sage or Omega would say. Makes me think that instead of just memory loss the cyber energy rewrote his brain like a robot. Or maybe it was originally supposed to be Sage taking over his mind much like the she did with the ancient robots and Titans.
Would’ve been interesting story wise because while Sage would’ve been trying to take over Sonic’s mind he would’ve been trying to convince her to be good and ultimately winning her over
To me its sounds like the kind of language The End uses while in Sonic's head.
I guess it would make sense that Sonic would say that since... pretty much everything else in his mind like memories and stuff is gone except for the voice in his head?
That's my interpretation of it anyways.
Man every time I see clips of this game the more I like the story it's great to finally see that side of sonic that we haven't seen in a while
We need to remember
Sonic is no longer the same happy hedgehog from years ago, he is older, his voice is deeper(of course its because of the voice actor changing but yeah) he is losing speed, he is just hitting the old age like anyone else in the world, and he still keeps fighting...he is the best hero anyone could ask for.
Thanks for all the dialogue videos so far. It’s too difficult for me to hunt them down in game, so I hope you’ll keep doing this. I’m counting on you. 🙂
I’m crying over this he loves his friends so much dbuhrvdihvdug
The title should be “Sonic is losing his memories.
These totally were meant for when he's being corrupted and in the final stages of it during the tower level. It is hard to say if these are truly unused though as i discovered Sonic will say stuff when idled or playing for an extended period(found out while trying to set up my capture card)he randomly said a line about missing Tails running behind him and it actually startled me. But they do kinda explain how it feels as that is left a little vague. But the way sonic describes is was kinda what i assumed it felt like anyway, glad to know i was right lol.
When a guy can barely say his own name, that’s how you know there’s something wrong.
Sonic: My name is....MY NAME IS...? What's the next lyric. I FORGOT HOW TO SING MY NAME IS
I feel like these lines are supposed to trigger differently during your normal playthrough after each corruption
but looks like the writing team scrapped it, a bit disappointing since we could've seen sonic actually struggling a lot more making the game feels much better if these lines are actually used.
Too bad they ended up with Sonic being AFK for a short time and then awakened using the Power of Friendship...
So much potential scrapped.
Well to be fair, his awakening makes sense since Tails, Knuckles and Amy just re-uploaded themselves to Cyber Space so Sonic wouldn't have to endure their collective burden. Logically, it would work both ways with Sonic becoming corrupted or the others being digitised. From a game standpoint, that also adds a story explanation as to why they're still digitised if you were to go back to past islands for conversations as opposed to just game logic.
i think the different idle poses and the cutscenes show pretty well how sonic is struggling against the corruption and i think that the friends going back into cyberspace to help him finish the fight was cool
tails also took charge for once
Actually, I got one of these lines once. I believe a lot of these lines people think got cut actually weren't, and are instead supposed to be played when leaving sonic alone for a bit. It's just that nobody gets them because you don't really stand around doing nothing a lot in a sonic game
@@monovailable oh no way! :O im replaying it to try and 100 percent the game, so im gonna do just that and see if i get any of these lines
“Lines removed game ruined 0/10”
good lines but i think the cutscenes in between each tower convey what sonic's going through really well already, and entirely through his movements as well, so i'm honestly glad they're rare and easy to miss. if anything i think sonic's silence speaks more. like sonic the hedgehog, sonic "funny quip machine" the hedgehog, is so dead-set on fighting through hell, saving his friends, and ignoring anyone that tells him he should stop that for once he doesn't want to say a damn thing til he's done
"You know who else has dementia?"
"My mom"
I forgot
Shadow???
Its the fact when his friends had to handle to corruption in the DLC, they were shocked at how painful it was, Tails even saying that he never thought it was as bad as it was
It really would have been interesting to see how the Cyber corruption would have impacted Super Sonic. Would the Emeralds neutralise the corruption, or would Sonic still be fighting it even in his strongest form?
Not his strongest form.
The emeralds should neutralize the corruption
They have been show to have restorative and healing powers.
In 06 sonic is ressurected via their power, in generations he and classic sonic are beaten senseless by the time eater but the chaos emeralds heal them, in sonic X he got dragged by an eggman mech but the emeralds healed him when he went super, in the comics he burns a certain sickness away when he goes super.
@@alexius-lmp that's true, although this is his strongest form in the game.
Super Sonic does look winded when he gets bit by the Knight Titan before pushing through and continuing to fight. You can argue thats because of the corruption, since when against Final Titan (which should be stronger), Super Sonic just has the same animation from when he gets hit by Giganto and Wyvern.
I don't think super sonic can neutralize cyber energy, but I do think that it might give him a boost instead of corrupting him due to the cyber energy actaully being created from the chaos emeralds, if they do not give him a boost then maybe it just changes his look but not getting effected.
I just got to Rhea island on my third play through and I decided to stand still for a bit to see if the lines would play. Got “You’re almost free, guys” after like 10 minutes of standing still
If Sonic lost his memory throughout the game I probably would’ve cried. Lol
Sonic re-enacting the dark years of his career.
This would have made the 6 towers chapter much more intensive
Roger’s voice acting is so compelling!
@0:46 "Ficky Ficky Slim Shady!"
Shadow: First time?
If I had to guess these might’ve been for when sonic climbs those towers before getting fully corrupted and getting paralyzed (?). Probably before or during hitting the buttons or climbing the towers.
And here’s where the fandom does the magic
Sonic Frontiers: The Dark Descent
This really shows how bad his condition is getting, to the point where he can't even form complete sentences... Or ever complete thoughts
The game would have been darker and sadder if this was the plot
It would have been better tho
He sounds like he’s pushed himself to his limits. Poor Sonic. I feel so bad for him. He looks like he wants to give up. But he knows he can’t. He has to keep going to save his friends
These lines are made for when you go idle he’ll start talking
Showing this struggle of not feeling your own body and losing memory sure is quite frightening.
…Slim Shady???
Anyways, Roger’s delivery is intense at times from what I can hear in clips.
This fits along with one of the earlier leaks that sonic was going to lose his memory to a degree in some form or fashion. Also would make sense for the story trailer since in it he seems to barely remember Amy. Seems the story was initially going to have a little bit of a darker tone, but was scrapped
This video is going to be looping over and over again in my brain. I will not be over this for awhile
Dont worry guys he didnt lose his memory, he was just singing "My Name Is" by Eminem
A Confusion So Thick You Forget Forgetting
God dang it, it's always the emersive lines that get scraped!
seeing Sonic hurt actually makes cooler
Happy someone at the writing team realized this
0:46 Paying homage to Eminem
But in all seriousness, this would've helped the corruption of Sonic have more impact, because the true tragedy of it was only brief in the final product
Egg man infected his brain so that it slowly makes sonic lose more memories and more until he doesn’t remember anything
My concern for Sonic's well-being due to his condition in this video drive me to find this whole thing extremely scary and terrifying
That’s Crazy seeing sonic like that.
I hope Roger keeps his performance as Sonic like this for the next game! He really makes Sonic sound mature.
You could tell how much he was suffering as he got corrupted..
