For those who don't know, the Tales RPG often have a system to display optional conversation between the game protagonists, which are not directly tied to the game scenario but sometimes give more precision on characters or on some story points from before the game. Some examples on Youtube. These are known as "skits" and are displayed as the characters 2D portraits talking and being animated on the screen. I thought this was a good starting point to try to understand how the game works, and thus tried to find the files related to these skits on the disc. What I'm exposing in this article is work that took me about 3 to 4 months and ended at the start of April.

(And it's probably way past geek, into some brave new world of anti-social, goober but I think we can all relate to that, Justin.)
