Dear Emilia." Polka, rather than telling her mother "I realized that all this time you were guiding me down the wrong path.
Following the battle, rather than stating he's glad he was not able to defeat the party, he instead states "Yes. Frederic Chopin explains more clearly his reasoning for choosing to fight the party. A number of key changes are made to the game's ending sequence.Frederic talks with Salsa and March about March's interest in agogo research, which leads into Salsa scolding Frederic for being "a quitter" and that when something ends, something else begins.Viola confronts Polka and Frederic about their "moping" and gives them a pep talk about moving forward and taking things as they come.
Jazz and Falsetto talk about Claves and remembering the ones who are gone, while living with the ones who still live.Beat, Allegretto, and Frederic talk about what they're going to do after Count Waltz is defeated.The four cutscenes are as such in no particular order: In the PS3 version, all the cutscenes take place in an upper floor of the Double Reed Tower, and revolve more around the other characters pondering their various futures in their respective worlds.Frederic talks with Salsa, March and Viola about "the end of the journey".Frederic talks with Claves about music expression.Jazz and Falsetto express skepticism to Frederic about his belief in their world being a dream.Beat talks about the origins of his camera to Allegretto, Polka and Frederic.In the XBox version, all the cutscenes take place in a black backdrop, and while Beat's isn't as much, they all revolve around the other characters responding to Frederic's philosophical musings.These four conversations are different between the XBox and PS3 versions. After one miniboss is defeated, a conversation cutscene follows, involving various characters depending on the cutscene but always including Frederic. In the Double Reed Tower, there are conversations following each of the four minibosses that are beaten individually.The party then goes on an additional mission to locate the Agogo Queen Mother in order to heal Polka. A new sequence is added in which Polka collapses on the return to Baroque Castle from Aria Temple.There, they navigate their way through a twisted world and learn more about the history of Baroque and Forte. When Serenade and Crescendo come out to investigate the commotion, Serenade's puppy Minuet is seemingly flattened by the mirror, but the mirror turns out to be a sort of portal, and the entire party ends up trapped inside it. An entirely new sequence is added in which, upon attempting to leave the castle, Frederic, Polka, Beat and Salsa come across a pair of soldiers who are bringing a large mirror called Lament to Crescendo's study.A new cutscene is added at the end of Chapter 2, in which the party lands in the waters beneath the Cabasa Bridge and Allegretto tries to save Polka, but is unable to reach her and gets swept away.This dialogue was previously absent, leading Viola's statement "That was about what we expected" when the party arrived at the Cabasa Bridge to feel somewhat apropos of nothing. Following the story of the Sage King, the party discusses the mineral powder and Jazz states that he'll tell the party everything they know while they're walking.A new sequence is added in the game's opening in which Frédéric François Chopin is heard lamenting the fate of his late sister, Emilia, while the Fortuneteller states that a new journey begins and Solfege states "Once again, it all comes to an end.".Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
