Maechen
"Do you know what those ruins are from?"
Tidus
"Some old city?"
Maechen
"Correct. A city most ancient!"
"A terrible testament to Sin's power. I tremble every time I see
them."
"Compared to Sin, humans are mere mudpuppies!"
Yuna
"But I believe humans are the only ones capable of defeating Sin."
Maechen
"A good reply. I am relieved
to hear you say that, m'lady summoner."
"Where are my manners? I am Maechen, a scholar. At your service,
m'lady."
"I am on a journey, studying the history of our world, Spira,
seeking its stories and secrets..."
"My travels have taken me to many places, and I am troubled by what
I have seen."
"Fragile smiles on people's faces crumbling at the mere mention of
Sin."
"They are counting on you, m'lady. Give them a reason to rejoin once
more."
"I will."
Lucil
"Lady Summoner, I presume?"
"Yes, I am Yuna."
Lucil
"I am Lucil, captain of the Djose Chocobo Knights."
Elma
"And I'm Elma. We've been charged to guard the Highroad."
Lucil
"There have been reports of a large fiend appearing in this area,
with a taste for chocobos."
"Do take care, Summoner Yuna, if you are to rent any chocobos."
"Thank you. We will be careful."
Lucil
"Good. We should get back to our rounds. Farewell."
Elma
"Our prayers are with you."
"A large fiend..."
"Let's go get him!"
Auron
"Why?"
"It's the right thing to do."
"It's the right thing to do?"
"What'd I say now?"
"Jecht said that a lot, too."
"And every time he said it, it meant trouble for Braska and me."
Woman
"My Lady Summoner!"
Calli
"You're a summoner?"
"Yes. My name is Yuna."
Calli
"I'm Calli."
"Nice to meet you, Calli."
Calli
"Lady Yuna, are you going to bring us the Calm?"
"Yes, very soon."
Calli
"Yay!"
Woman
"We're looking forward to
another Calm, My Lady Summoner."
"I'll do my best."
Woman
"And good luck to your
guardians as well."
"What's the calm?"
"The Calm is a time of peace."
"It comes after a summoner defeats Sin, and lasts until Sin
reappears."
"Sin dies and is reborn."
"I get it!"
"I thought it was weird."
"Yuna's dad defeated Sin ten years ago, right?"
"But Sin's still here! Didn't make much sense till now."
"Wait... If it just comes back..."
"Don't say it isn't worth it... Because it is."
"Even for a little
while..."
"people can sleep in their beds without being afraid."
"That kind of time is worth anything."
"Don't say it isn't worth it."
"Your words that day, Yuna--I remember them well."
Gatta
"Hey!"
"Hey, we saw the game! You guys were great!"
Luzzu
"Congratulations, Wakka!"
Elma
"Hey! Stop loafing around!"
Gatta
"Uh... The lady summoner and her guardians..."
Lucil
"This mission requires our full attention. We've no time to waste!"
"Understood?"
Luzzu
"Yes, ma'am! Apologies, ma'am!"
Lucil
"Carry on."
Luzzu
"See? Keep your head down, say "sir" a lot, and you'll do fine."
Gatta
"Right...sir."
Luzzu
"Hey, Yuna."
"Even though Yevon rejected us..."
"we still believe in you. That won't ever change."
"Thank you, Sir Luzzu, Sir Gatta."
"But, you know... It's not too late for you to go back to Besaid,
and..."
Gatta
"We should be going, sir!"
Man
"We'll defeat Sin any way we can!"
Shelinda
"But Yevon's teachings say..."
Man
"Enough!"
Shelinda
"I-I only meant to..."
"Are you all right?"
Shelinda
"Lady Summoner...?"
"Yes, I am Yuna."
Shelinda
"It is an honor, my lady."
"My name is Shelinda. I am a disciple of Yevon."
"What was all that about? The Crusaders' operation?"
"You mean the one Gatta and Luzzu were talking about?"
Shelinda
"I heard they were to use forbidden machina! I had to stop them."
"Huh? Why?"
"The use of machina is
strictly forbidden by the Yevon priesthood."
"That's bad, ya?"
"Let them use whatever they want."
"They still won't defeat Sin."
Shelinda
"But, it's not about defeating Sin!"
"The teachings of Yevon must be upheld!"
"Yeah! Right!"
Shelinda
"But you don't understand! The Crusaders won't even listen to me."
"And it's all because I'm just a lowly acolyte."
"Don't say that."
"Well, I haven't been a summoner for very long myself, you see."
"Still, I can't put myself down every time I fail."
"People are depending on me. They're depending on both of us!"
Shelinda
"Yes! Yes, you're right, my lady. Absolutely right!"
"Thank you so much, Lady Yuna!"
"Now, I feel I have the courage to finish my training."
"We rest here."
"But, this is an Al Bhed
shop!"
"Is that a problem?"
"They don't believe in Yevon,
and in Luca they..."
"They kidnapped Yuna!"
"Where were her guardians?"
"Sir Auron's just concerned about your health."
"I'm not tired one bit!"
"Well I am."
"As if I could sleep!"
"Check it out!"
"That sunset was different from the one I saw in Kilika. It was
quiet---almost gentle." |
"Whatcha up to?"
"Pretty..."
"Sure is."
"I wish I could live in a place like this."
"Peaceful... Living with a smile on my face every day."
"You can, once you beat Sin,
right?"
"But then a new Sin will be born anyway."
"Well then, you can just beat
it again."
"I wish I could."
"Hey, you can! Trust me! You are the best summoner out there!"
"Yuna, why does Sin always come back?"
"Sin is our punishment for our vanity."
"And it will not go away until we've atoned."
"How do we do that?"
"What did we do that was so bad in the first place?"
"Was it using lots of machina or something? Oh... Wait, was that
such a bad thing, really?"
"It's funny..."
"Ever since I was young, I never questioned it."
"But now that you ask me if it is that bad or not...I don't know."
"There are so many things I don't know."
"Well then, we're the same!"
"Such thinking is very unbecoming of a summoner!"
"Sound like Mika?"
"That's not very nice, you know!"
"You know..."
"During a game, you have to think of blitz and nothing else, you
know?"
"Okay."
"You can't think, "That's a cute girl in the fifth seat from the
right.""
"And you can't be thinking about where you're going to go on that
date, because the minute you do, that's when you lose!"
"You see, uh, Yuna, what I mean is, you really shouldn't worry, you
know?"
"After we beat Sin, that's when you can worry about the future."
"I guess."
"But Yuna, how are you
supposed to beat something big like that?"
"The Final Summoning."
"It's the only way to defeat Sin. The only way."
"With it, we can call the Final Aeon. That's the goal of the
pilgrimage."
"The Fayth of the Final Summoning lies waiting in the far north, to
greet summoners that complete their pilgrimage."
"At the world's edge... in Zanarkand."
"In Zanarkand?"
"She means the ruins of a city destroyed a thousand years ago."
"You sure it's ruins?"
"That's what I've heard."
"You'll see it for yourself soon enough."
"Yuna, come back inside."
"You will go with us... to Zanarkand?"
"Yeah, I'll go."
"I'll go to Zanarkand to see it with my own eyes."
"I knew it couldn't be my Zanarkand. But I had to make sure."
Rin
"Byntuh sa."
"Sorry?"
Rin
"Ah, forgive me, sir."
"I meant to say "pardon me", but it came out in Al Bhed."
"Oh, you're an Al Bhed?"
Rin
"I am Rin, owner of this
establishment."
"Hela du saad oui."
"It means, "nice to meet you.""
"Well helly doo sad wee to
you, too."
Rin
"If you are interested..."
"Al Bhed primers can be found all over Spira."
"Finding them and learning our language might be fun."
"Here, let me give you one in commemoration of our meeting."
"Although you might want to be careful where you speak out
language."
"Yeah, I hear Al Bhed aren't
liked much. Oh, sorry!"
Rin
"Ed ec y crysa."
Woman
"Someone, help! The chocobos!"
"That's our cue, let's go."
Rin
"Thank you for your help. Please, use this."
"To the chocobo corral!"
Rin
"Have you an interest in renting some chocobos?"
"As a token of our gratitude, the first time is free of charge."
"Please ask the attendant if you wish to rent."
Woman
"Thank you so much for saving
the chocobos!"
"Hello! No charge this time!"
Dona
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm a summoner!"
Man
"Sorry, ma'am! No exceptions!"
Dona
"You dare impede a summoner's pilgrimage?"
Man
"Sorry, ma'am! No exceptions!"
Dona
"Useless!"
Clasko
"You have to leave your chocobos here."
"Come on, everyone off!"
Gatta
"Gatta and Luzzu reporting, sir!"
Luzzu
"This is the last of them."
Man
"Good to have you with us. Go on through!"
Gatta
"Show me how to play blitz sometime!"
Luzzu
"Wait around. We'll have Sin beaten in no time!"
Man
"I'm sorry, I can't let you pass."
"Hey, you're a summoner and her
guardians, right? Sorry for the inconvenience."
"What, they didn't tell you?"
"We're bringing Sinspawn from all over Spira here."
"Sinspawn inevitably draw Sin, right?"
"We're going to lure it into a trap!"
"This mission, Operation Mi'ihen, is a Crusader - Al Bhed joint
mission."
"We Crusaders lure Sin in, and the Al Bhed strike it down."
"You see, Al Bhed hate Sin as much as we do."
"They managed to salvage ancient machina."
"They say they're as powerful as the mighty aeons."
"Well, you know machina are forbidden by Yevon."
"Ah...on second thought, let's not go there. Better for you not to
know."
"The Crusaders in Operation Mi'ihen have all been excommunicated."
"My own family won't even speak to me now."
"We have to beat Sin today."
"Otherwise, there's nowhere for us to go."
Seymour
"So we meet again, Lady Yuna."
"Y-Yes?"
Seymour
"You look troubled. Is there anything I can do?"
"Well..."
Seymour
"I see."
Man
"Maester Seymour. Let me show you to the command center."
Seymour
"Hold. I have a request."
Man
"Yes, Your Grace?"
Seymour
"I need to have Summoner Yuna and her guardians let through to the
command center."
Man
"But, Maester Seymour, sir."
Seymour
"Do not worry. I will take full responsibility."
Man
"Very well. They may pass."
Seymour
"It is done."
"Thank you, Your Grace."
"Yuna, it's time to go."
"Oh! Right!"
"Who does he think he is?"
"He's a maester. Better get
used to it, ya?"
"All hail Maester Seymour!"
