Unused Audio

To do: Add other files, including Serah's.

As with characters in Final Fantasy XIII, Serah and Noel have quotes for the start of battles, with two variants for normal and strong opponents. Like several other audio files, there are multiple quotes within each file and some are reused, depending on the location they're used in. There are also files that correspond to quotes for using Techniques in the previous game, a feature that is absent in Final Fantasy XIII-2.
