Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Harp's Timbre:

Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.
(While the party is surrounded by Skeletons, Celes defeats one)

Rydia: Take that!

(Rydia defeats a Skeleton)

Cid: Raaah!

(Cid defeats a Skeleton, but more appear)

Celes: Tch...! There's no end to them...
Cid: And I'm runnin' outta gas. We need to do somethin' or else—

("Edward's Harp" plays)

Cid: ...What's that noise?
Rydia: It sounds like a harp.
Rydia: It couldn't be...!

(The Skeletons are defeated)

Celes: Look! The monsters collapsed!
Cid: What the heck's going on here!? Those monsters fell down the second they heard that music!
???: Thank goodness. It looks like I made it just in time.

(Edward arrives)

Rydia: Edward! It really was you!
Edward: Good to see you again, Rydia. Are those the warriors from other worlds?
Celes: Is he a friend of yours, Rydia?
Rydia: Yeah! That music sounded familiar, so I had a feeling it was him!
Edward: A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Edward Chris von Muir.
Edward: I heard about your plight from the goddess. She said that the dimensions are—

(A Scorpion appears behind the party)

Cid: Hey, watch out!
Edward: What? Waaah!
Rydia: Edward! Ohhh, you're as oblivious as ever!
Edward: Here it comes!
Celes: We can talk later. Everyone, get ready!

The Bard Edward:

Cecil: Are you alright, Edward?
Edward: Haha. That was a close one. Thank you, Cecil.
Cecil: Allow me to introduce you to our friend Edward.
Irvine: I see you play a harp. Are you a bard or something?
Yang: Precisely, Lord Irvine. Though he is more than your average bard.
Yang: For he is actually the prince of Damcyan.
Faris: Royalty masquerading as a bard? You've got some weird hobbies.
Edward: For generations, the Damcyan royal family has been both merchants and minstrels.
Edward: It seems the skills of the latter flow more strongly in my blood, however...
Mog: I'm glad they do, kupo! Your song saved us!
Yang: I expected no less of Lord Mog. It seems he has already noticed.
Irvine: Noticed what?
Cecil: The timbre of Edward's harp can seal the powers of monsters.
Cecil: This isn't the first time his music has saved us from trouble.
Irvine: No way! I've never met anyone like that before. That's incredible!
Faris: You don't look it, but you're a fighter! I had you all wrong, Edward.
Irvine: When you fell over earlier, I thought you were a complete coward, but...
Edward: Coward!?
Edward: I guess...I am a coward...
Cecil: No, Edward.
Cecil: You are a kindhearted and brave man.
Yang: Indeed. Even when you were bedridden, you aided us with the song from your harp.
Yang: You are a trustworthy ally.
Irvine: Whoops! I guess I should've been clearer. That was just my first impression!
Faris: You seem about as delicate as you look, though.
Mog: But his courage is true, kupo! Without a doubt!
Mog: I want you to use that courage to help us save our worlds! Will you come with us, kupo?
Cecil: I hope you will, Edward.
Yang: Lend us your strength once again. Everyone here wishes it so!
Edward: Thank you...
Edward: If you insist, I will gladly join you on your journey.

Courageous Heart:

(Edward defeats a group of Skeletons)

Edward: ...That should do it. We can keep going now.

(The rest of the party arrives)

Cecil: Thank you, Edward. You're as reliable as ever.
Rydia: I know! You're so different than the Edward back then.
Vivi: What do you mean?
Rydia: When we first met Edward, he had just lost someone very precious to him...
Rydia: He was always crying.
Rydia: And when we would fight, he would always hide from the enemy!
Edward: I would prefer you didn't speak of that...
Hope: I remember being just like that a long time ago.
Edward: I would like to hear about it...if you don't mind, that is.
Hope: I always pushed the responsibility onto someone else in a fight and only ever thought of running away...
Hope: But Lightning made me realize that nothing would change if I kept running.
Vivi: I was also afraid of fighting. Even now, I get scared sometimes...
Vivi: But when I'm with everyone, I understand... Not doing anything is even scarier.
Edward: I see... So I wasn't the only one who was weak at the start.
Firion: No one is born strong.
Firion: We become strong when we find a reason to fight or something to protect.
Cecil: Love for one's companions turns into extraordinary courage...
Cecil: You are proof of that. So you can hold your heads up high.
Edward: ...You're right. I became strong because of my friends.
Rydia: So no more hiding?
Edward: ...I think not. I want to protect everyone.
Vivi: ...I think you and I can get even stronger, Mr. Edward.
Vivi: Because I want to protect all of our friends, too.
Edward: I won't let you down. I will hold the courage you gave me in my heart!
