	:No problem! For the statues, they don't have idle animations. They're static like the statues of the heroes. For the dragons, it's a bit complicated. They have hundreds of textures that have an animation cycle separate from the model itself, which means one cycle of the joint animation won't sync up with the pattern animation, and it's pretty jarring. If you look at the ultimate dragon in-game for example, it has spots of light on it that spreads over the model - that's the pattern animation. There are a few other monsters with two or more animation cycles, but it's either not noticeable that it doesn't sync up, or I can remove certain textures without sacrificing the integrity of the animation, if that makes sense. I did manage to completely remove the pattern animation from the ultimate dragon, but it wouldn't be faithful to how it appears in-game. The two animation cycles would eventually sync up so I might try again in the future, but that would require a lot of frames.

			:::I believe they are grouped in a way; for example, in the dialogue for Femiscrya, the nun's response before and after apprehending Kirk Buzzer will appear in the same place in their respective sections. The duplicates could be removed, with the very top section becoming the main part with changed dialogue being derivatives, such as Femiscrya -> Before arresting Kirk Buzzer, with the derivatives only containing unique party chat and dialogue pertaining to that event. Although, that might be more time-consuming than your method. As for VI's party chat, it would amount to around 251,770 words. This is assuming that the player's name is one word.

			:::Also, I would like ask you about images. There is some artwork files that were made for games like Dragon Quest I + II, and whose file names include the plus sign present in the title. However, when you click on the file page such as the following image here, it will simply bring you to a blank page without the plus sign:
