Plot[]
Later on in the game, Phil loses his ambition which leads to his soul mate in the other world resort to a life of thievery. His soul mate steals the holy wood from Oliver and refuses to confess that he did so. Thus they travel to Motorville to find out what had happened to him. When he is talked to, he laments on how his inventions only hurt others. When Oliver comforts him, a nightmare attacks.
After defeating the nightmare, Oliver reminds Phil about the ambitions they had shared together in the past. This reveals that Oliver's own heart is full of ambition. He transfers some of the ambition into Phil. Phil shares an embrace with Oliver, with a new goal to not only create the fastest car, but also the safest.
Post Game[]
After completing errands for the Conductor, he will allow Oliver to relive his old dream, driving the Philmobile. They are then transported to the other world where they receive the Philmobile key and then allowed to travel using the Philmobile that was seen during the beginning of the game.
Appearance[]
Phil is shown to be taller than Oliver in height. He has golden blond hair, dark blue eyes, and has round red glasses. He also wears a red polo shirt, blue trousers with a belt, and black sneakers.
Personality[]
Phil tends to be a determined, hard-working person (like Pip). However, he tends to have a mean tongue and is a bit sensitive (and defensive). Despite this, there is a close friendship between him and Oliver, which has been forged since childhood. Oliver says, "He can be kinda mean... and real stubborn... but he's still my best friend. I'm talking about Phil."
He has a hobby of tinkering with machinery, and has seemingly dedicated his entire garage to working on the Philmobile.
Trivia[]
- Phil tends to call Oliver "Ollie" in English.
- Phil and Oliver seem to have known each other when they were younger. (e.g. Oliver had a past memory about crying because Phil was mean to him). However, seeing as the two aren't very old themselves, this is to be expected.
- Phil has a striking resemblance to Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service.
