The "Talk" command has been added to the preparation so that you can listen to conversations that affect your choice of sortie before you go out. For example, in Chapter 13, Selphina and Saffi have a conversation event with benefits such as obtaining items, so those two will speak.
When you see all the conversations set up in the chapter, the command will be grayed out. If you run the command while it is grayed out, you will see the same content again from the beginning.
This system is mainly intended to provide information on the strategy, but it might be fun to include dialogue that shows the backbone of the story, like the base conversation in FE10.
