No Hero Discount/Quotes

""It doesn't matter how many times you save the day, a good merchant still won't give you a discount on weapons and armor.""

"By the end of the game you are renowned everywhere as the Legendary Heroes, every surviving government and authority figure has rallied behind you, the fate of the world is obviously hanging in the balance, and out of nowhere random passers-by give you a pat on the back and heartfelt good luck wishes.

- Huey, Dewie and Louie, Kingdom Hearts

"Tippi: "But that's preposterous! You can't charge to teach the hero of the prophecy!"
