Final Fantasy XII

"[to a comatose Reks] I got you some of those flowers you like. Galbana lilies, remember? You used to say how they smelt nice, how pretty they were...Remember? [pause] The King. Did you... Were you really a part of it? Even if... Even if you were... Captain Basch must have tricked you into it!"

"My brother was no liar!"

"Hating the Empire, getting revenge... It's all I ever thought about. But I never did anything about it. I mean, I realized there was nothing I could do. It made me feel hollow, alone. And then...I'd miss my brother. I'd say stuff like "I'm gonna be a sky pirate", or some other stupid thing. Just anything to keep my mind off it. I was just...I was running away. I needed to get away from his death."

"You know what? I'm through with it - I'm through running. I'm ready to find my purpose. To find some answers, some reasons."

"Got a surprise for you! / How 'bout some of this! (Red Spiral)"

"You're mine! / I've got it! (White Whorl)"

"Not a chance! (Pyroclasm)"

"Basch lives!"

"Don't listen to Ondore's lies!"

"I'm Captain Basch!"

"I'm Captain Basch fon Rosenburg of Dalmasca!"

"Who said anything about strong? You'll make it. You got good friends."

"I confirm what Judge Magister Gabranth and Larsa Solidor have said here. Please. Stand down your attack. The war is over. Ivalice looks to the horizon. A new day has dawned. We are free!"

"I am simply myself. No more and no less. And I want only to be free."

"Even with power, we cannot change what has passed. What is done, is done."

"In all Dalmasca’s history, not once did we rely on the Dusk Shard. Our people resolved never to use it, though their need might be dire...That was the Dalmasca I wanted back. To use the stone would be to betray that."

"[During Quickening Level 1: Northswain's Glow]: "I must endure!""

"[During Quickening Level 2: Heaven's Wrath]: "I must be strong!""

"[During Quickening Level 3: Maelstrom's Bolt]: "I must...believe!""

"You're a sky pirate, aren't you? Then steal me! Is that too much to ask?"

"Dalmasca does not forget kindness, nor ill deed done. With sword in hand, she aids her allies, sword in hand she lays to rest her foes. This nethicite must be my sword. I will avenge those who have died, and the Empire... will know remorse."

"An Atomos? All skiff, no ship. Hardly fit for a leading man..."

"Believe what you want to, whatever it takes to make you happy. What's done is done."

"I am the leading man. Might need to do something heroic."

"Vaan, the Strahl's in your hands! You'd better take care of her, you hear? If there's one scratch on her when I get back--"

"More Nethicite. No wonder they invaded."

"The Ifrit is playing with fire, and I'd rather not get burned."

"Vitality before violence."

"There's a proper way to do everything."

"With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man."

"Hmph. I daresay I've soiled my cuffs. If a dungeon's waiting for us at the end of the night, it had best have a change of wardrobe."

"Yes, [the mimics] drink all the electricity, but they'll give it back to you if you ask nicely. Sticking them with a sword helps, too."

"Not many Viera where you come from, thief?"

"Incidentally, what is the going rate for rescuing Princesses these days? Food would be a good start -- the good stuff, mind you."

"It's not easy being this popular, you know."

"Remember what curiosity killed. Just a friendly word of advice."

"[During Quickening Level 1: Fires of War] I never miss! or Please...on your guard!"

"[During Quickening Level 2: Tides of Fate] Let me show you how it's done! [as the tidal wave is about to wash over enemies] "Heads up!" or "Ha!""

"[During Quickening Level 3: Element of Treachery] Here she comes! (when the meteor approaches)"

"...Driver! Faster, if you please. I would be loath to expend any of the violence of my present mood on my companions."

"If I could protect but one person from war's horror, then I would bear any shame. I would bear it proudly."

"I could not protect my home. What is shame to me?"

"The time has come to tell you the truth of it."

"Let them watch. I know something of cages."

"I want you to take me to Balthier. Even caged birds need wings."

"I had someone more important to defend. And defend her I have."

"We are the arbiters of our destiny."

"(to Judge Gabranth) Then come! Wield your hatred and crush me. I welcome it!"

"Archadia's Emperor is freely chosen by Her people. I am but an elected official and nothing more."

"One of these days, I'll fly an airship of my own. I'll be a sky pirate, free to go where I will."
