 Speeches are activated by a game scripts which calls a ''character'':''group'':''key'' name to be played. Characters are defined in <locale>/strings/characters.nsx file (also can be defined in any other .nsx file under <locale>/strings/ in the [character] group). Groups are speech groups, defined inside NSX files in the ''[speech_<groupname>]'' style. There are separate groups for kain monologues, scene speech, gossip etc. Keys are key name inside speech groups, a value given to that key sets a text for speech.
-Character+Grops+Keys form an unique speech, which have a text (a value of key) and matching sound file. The sound file path is expected to be: <basepath>/key.ogg or / <speechbase>/key.wav. The ''basepath'' is a basepath for speech files which are set per-character in the [speech] group (defined in very top of speech.nsx). For example, basepath for speech of kain character is 'speech/kain/'.
