Tidus
"I have no idea what
I was thinking when I ran after Sin that day."
"But before I knew what I was doing, there I was chasing him down
like a thief at market."
"Maybe I was angry, maybe I wanted to go home."
"I kept thinking of Zanarkand, and my old man."
Jecht
"What?"
"They say you don't practice anymore, that you're gonna retire."
Jecht
"Let them talk."
"I'm still the best."
"They say you're no good
'cause you drink all the time."
Jecht
"I can quit drinkin' whenever I want!"
"Then do it now."
Jecht
"What did you say?"
"You just said you can!"
Jecht
"Heh. Tomorrow, maybe."
"Why not today?"
Jecht
"Why do today what you can leave for tomorrow?"
"There he goes again...crying!"
"I thought I sensed my old
man there."
"Somewhere..."
"Or maybe it was just Sin's toxin playing tricks on my mind."
"How many died today?"
"People die, and Yuna dances."
"When will she stop dancing? When will it stop?"
"Yuna won't stop dancing--not until Sin is gone."
"Those were my thoughts then...I think."
Auron
"I see you're still here."
"Huh?"
"Many stories ended here
today..."
"But..."
"Yours goes on, I see."
"What?"
"Sin had come and gone, but I remained here."
"A swift retreat."
"Satisfied?"
Kinoc
"What do you mean?"
"Those who turned from Yevon
died while the faithful live on."
Kinoc
"The past ten years have changed you, I see."
Seymour
"You do not look so well."
"But now more than ever, you must be the people's strength, their
confidence."
"Anyone else would be expected to show their sorrow."
"But you...are a summoner. You are Spira's hope."
"Until Sin is defeated, you must not relent. Do you understand?"
Yuna
"Yes. I understand."
Seymour
"Are you afraid?"
"Yuna, take me as your pillar of strength. As Yunalesca had her lord
Zaon."
"Lady Yuna. Until next we meet, farewell."
"Sin is Jecht."
"Yeah, for a while there, I
thought I could feel him."
"But that doesn't mean I believe you."
"Sin is Jecht. He came here
for you."
"So he killed all those people
just for a chance to see me?"
"That's what Sin does."
"He wanted to show that to you."
"Do you know why?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"So you would kill him."
"As long as he is Sin, Jecht will keep killing."
"He wants you to stop him."
"You gotta be kidding."
"How do you know all of this, anyway?"
"I'm not done talking to you! Don't you run away!"
"You're the one running."
"Hey, you two! Hurry up!"
"She's awfully cheerful."
Kimahri
"In dark times she must be. She must shine bright."
"Now are dark times. Yuna tries hard."
"We should help her, then."
"If we worry, she tries
harder."
"Do not frown."
"Don't worry, be happy?"
"Kimahri try, too."
"Smile! Let me see."
"Hey! How much longer till Zanarkand?"
Wakka
"Still a ways."
Lulu
"First down the Moonflow to the Guado city of Guadosalam..."
"Then we cross the Thunder Plains to the temple of Macalania."
"Oh, boy."
"And before that, we get to pray at the temple in Djose!"
"We can't just skip all that?
Can we, huh?"
"I have to pray to the fayth in every temple in order to earn the
Final Aeon."
"That's a summoner's training."
"She's gotta prepare mind and body, all just to get ready for the
Final Summoning."
"Must be tough, Yuna."
"I'll be fine with you here!"
"Hey, new guy."
"Uh...me?"
"Who else?"
"What can I do for you, boss?"
"Don't tell Yuna you know
about Sin and Jecht."
"You know her..."
"She would...distance herself from you."
"We do not want that."
"I see, I think."
"Yeah, but even if I did say something, no one would believe me, you
know?"
"Yuna would."
"Ah...you have a point."
"Come to think of it...did I really have to know about Jecht?"
"What about my feelings?"
"Better than you finding out at a critical moment, becoming
emotional."
"What? Me, emotional?"
"I heard you were quite the
crybaby."
"Yeah, maybe when I was a
kid."
"Maybe even a little now. Just a little."
"Hey!"
"I still don't buy your story, you hear?"
Lucil
"Yuna, it is good to see you and your companions are well."
"Yourselves as well, Captain. We were worried. Praise be to Yevon!"
Lucil
"We escaped with our lives, but our troops were decimated."
Elma
"Of all our chocobos, only this one made it."
Clasko
"We make pretty poor Chocobo Mounted Forces without chocobos."
Lucil
"We turned our backs on the teachings and cast away our faith."
"This...this is our just reward."
"Is that the Djose temple?"
"Awesome!"
"The Lightning Mushroom Rock.
It only opens when a summoner is addressing the fayth."
"That means another summoner's
already in there."
"Another summoner?"
"What if it's Dona?" |
"We have to hurry."
"Right! In we go!"
Isaaru
"I beg your pardon, but may I
ask your name?"
"I am Summoner Yuna, from the isle of Besaid."
Isaaru
"As I thought!"
"The daughter of Lord Braska. You have the look of your father."
"My father? You knew him?"
Isaaru
"No, I have never met the
man."
"Ah, my apologies. I am Isaaru."
"I am a summoner, like you."
Pacce
"I'm Pacce. Pleased to meet you."
Maroda
"And I'm Maroda."
"I'm guarding my big brother here."
Isaaru
"Since I was a child, I've always looked up to Lord Braska."
"I wished I would someday become a high summoner like he was."
"You must have some of your father's talent in you!"
"I believe you might someday defeat Sin."
"I...I'm not really... I've only just become a summoner."
Isaaru
"Of course, I've not intention of losing, either."
"So perhaps we should race to see who can defeat Sin first, no?"
"Very well, then. I accept your challenge."
Maroda
"Isaaru!"
Isaaru
"Yuna, I beg your leave. Good luck, to both of us!"
"Yes."
Isaaru
"Hey, you."
"Me?"
Isaaru
"You are Yuna's guardian, no?"
"Maroda's heard a curious rumor. I thought you should know."
Maroda
"I heard it from those Crusaders."
"Seems that summoners have been going out on pilgrimage and
just...disappearing."
Isaaru
"It could just be the fiends got them... but not so many so
quickly."
Maroda
"Sorry I don't know more, but...watch your back."
"Ain't much future for a guardian without a summoner, eh?"
Pacce
"What? What? Whatcha all talkin' 'bout?"
Maroda
"We're talking about doing your job as a guardian!"
Pacce
"Hey, I'm doing good! Right, big brother?"
Isaaru
"Please, be careful."
"Will do!"
Isaaru
"Pacce!"
Pacce
"Oh... What?"
Isaaru
"We're leaving!"
Pacce
"Be right there!"
"See ya!"
"All right! Guardians, at
attention!"
"We are ready."
"All right... Let's do it!"
Dona
"Well, well. You again."
"Still travelling with quite the crowd, I see."
"What is it, Barthello? You know this riffraff?"
Barthello
"You are...Auron, no?"
"What of it?"
Barthello
"Can...I shake your hand?"
"Auron--no, Sir Auron."
"You're the reason I became a guardian!"
"Thank you, sir! This means so much to me!"
"Calling the personal guardian
to Lord Braska riffraff?"
"And you call yourself a
summoner?"
Dona
"Barthello, enough! Get back here!"
"Hang in there, buddy, eh?"
Dona
"You owe much to your father."
"All these guardians... and Sir Auron, too?"
"And I hear Maester Seymour's quite taken with you."
"The world must look different when you're the daughter of Lord
Braska."
"This has nothing to do with my father!"
"I am travelling on my own, as a full-fledged summoner!"
Dona
"Oh, is that so?"
"Then try standing on your own two legs for once."
"Your guardians won't be able to protect you when the time comes."
"We're leaving once Yuna gets
here."
Woman
"She was working until dawn."
"Healing the wounded, sending the fallen."
"Okay... I guess I'll just let her sleep for now, then."
"Morning!"
"What? Morning?"
"Don't worry!"
"But it's morning!"
"I'm so sorry!"
"I-I'll get ready right away! Just a moment!"
"Don't worry! It's okay!"
"Yo! Sleepyhead!"
"Sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"Please forgive me."
"Really, there's no rush...
Here, your hair."
"A summoner with bed hair!
What's the world comin' to?"
"You could have woken me up!"
"We called to you, but with
all that snoring..."
"Hmm...what is it today? Everyone's picking on me!"
"You too, Sir Auron?"
"Once Lady Yuna fixes her
hair, we leave!"
"I hadn't really laughed
like that in a long time."
"It was only later that I realized..."
"The only one really laughing then...was me."
"Laughing must have been the only thing keeping them going."
Lucil
"Off so early?"
"Lady Yuna, you must be exhausted after working so hard last night.
Will you be okay?"
"I feel that I have rested enough. But, thank you for your
kindness!"
"Will you be leaving, too?"
Lucil
"Yes, first we cross the Moonflow, and then we head north in search
of chocobos to replace those we have lost."
Elma
"Once we find chocobos, our Mounted Forces will ride again!"
"Huh? Aren't you missing
someone?"
Clasko
"Captain! Waaaaait for meee!"
Elma
"What took you so long? We're leaving!"
Clasko
"You expect me to keep up with a chocobo!?"
Lucil
"Lady Yuna, I wish you good fortune. Elma! Clasko! Let's go!"
Elma
"Ma'am!"
Clasko
"Eh!? C-Can't I just rest a sec...?"
Elma
"No complaints!"
"Where to next?"
"We cross the Moonflow."
"Gotcha!"
"Moonflow, baby, here we come!"
