"How many years have come and gone since that day? How many years have I waited for this moment. For the one who stood alone against the storm...For the one they called...the Warrior of Light."

"This tragedy, greater even than the Seventh Umbral Calamity, must be undone. If history must be unwritten, let it be unwritten. Become what you must. Become...the Warrior of Darkness."

"Though it meant depriving a world of its champion, I had to try─for in saving the First, you would bring salvation to the Source as well. But what manner of host harangues his guest in the middle of the road? Let us continue our talk within the Crystarium."

"Despite appearances, I am an old man─one burdened with many...difficult memories, some too painful to recall."

"Who would choose to remain here, in this dying realm, when they might go elsewhere and begin anew? Not I. And thus...thus did I use you!"

"At journey's end, an opportunistic thief makes off with the hero's prize. A paltry way to end a chapter, I concede. Yet your tale will continue, and my role in it will scarcely be remembered."

"People cried out in despair, "There is no hope. We are finished. Mankind is finished". Then others raised their voices in answer. "Though we be beyond salvation, those who came before may yet be saved. We will forge a crossroads, and pave the way for a different future. By the wisdom of our forebears we will prevent this Calamity from ever having come to pass"."

"The Warrior of Light has been our unbroken thread. Where others would stumble and fall, he/she would rise above. Where others would break and run, he/she would carry on. The Warrior of Light's tale is one of unyielding bravery. To tell it was to feel courage; to hear it was to feel hope. It was a breath of inspiration in an age of suffocating shadow."

"Promise me you'll take me on your next adventure. A journey. Together. That's all I ask."

"If I were to tell you that this isn't the end─that we will meet again─would you believe me?"

"Never─in the past, present, or future─have I found only happiness. To live is to be ever beset by hardships great and small. Yet it is in adversity we find the strength to strive for the next moment of peace, and the next, no matter what trials we face."

"Time and time again, it seems that Allagan something-or-other are either the cause of or the solution to our problems."

"We fought and we fought and we fought...until there was no one left to fight. We won...and now our world is being erased from existence."

"We did everything right, everything that was asked of us and still─still it came to this!"

"I don't remember when it was that I learned regret wasn't worth the bother. You get numb to it all over the years. The lost comrades, the broken promises, the abandoned principles─just more nagging burdens to ignore."

"Why did you spare me? Why? What have I done to deserve this mercy!?"

"He has given his all for liege and land, and we will ask no more."

"I shall make of Doma a land where children laugh and none need live in fear."

"Would you be “happier” had I a “good reason”? (Jullus: What?) If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome?"

"Duty...honor...morality...all constructs of convenience, when put to proof."

"A test of your reflexes!"

"You came from beyond, didn't you!? From beyond the rift! How wonderfully exciting! What a brave and reckless and marvelous thing you did! You've the heart of a pixie, you do!"

"We fae folk live forever, but such is not your virtue. To strive for a dream you will never see─to sow seeds that others might one day taste the fruits of your garden─that is the beauty of your kind. Burn bright and shine as only you can."

"[Rejoice and revel, for the Kingdom of Rainbows is forever young.]"

"No lands must remain beyond our grasp. Go forth. Conquer. Rule."

"I should be the one to sigh."

"Just once...might we not seek to find common ground? For good or ill, I am immortal. Provided I have the inclination, I can always begin anew. Scheme and conspire to my heart's content."

"So come. Shed your preconceptions. See beyond the unscrupulous villains you take us for."

"(After Emet-Selch retrieves Y'shtola from the Lifestream) What a touching reunion that was. It fair brought a tear to the eye. But as we both know, such tender moments are nothing if not momentary. Before long, they will remember their many differences, and return to squabbling."

"Really. I have no need of deception─and even if I did, I assure you: you would find it quite indistinguishable from the truth."

"What? You thought ancient beings like us incapable of crying? Well, rest assured that if your heart can be broken, then so can mine!"

"Alas, it is not your grand scheme that will succeed, but ours."

"Behold, the coming oblivion. 'Twas the end of our era, and the beginning of our great work."

"And lo, vile beasts did rise, / Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash. / Thus did the first doom befall us. / It would not, however, prove the last. / For soon did the sun bend low, scorching earth and boiling seas. /Thus did the second doom break us. / Yet it was neither claw nor flame, but our very sins- /Stacked to the heavens where they took root, corrupting its halls— / Thus did the third doom undo us."

"And you! Why waste your final moments in futile defiance? Weary wanderer─you've no fight left to fight! No life left to live!"

"The victor shall write the tale, and the vanquished become its villain!"

"My dormant bretheren, dream now of a dark tomorrow... By our gathered might must we reclaim these vain reflections. In Zodiark's name, I beseech you!"

"Should I surrender this fight, what will become of it all...? What will become of our triumphs? Our hopes? Our...our despair? What of this anguish which yet burns in my breast even after the passing of eons? No, no, no! I will not let it all be for naught!"

"Herein I commit the chronicle of the Traveler. Shepherd to the stars in the dark. Though the world be sundered and our souls sent adrift, where you walk, my dearest friend, fate shall surely follow. For yours is the Fourteenth seat - the seat of Azem."

"In uncertain times, naught but the simplest words of wisdom will suffice. That which lives is destined to die. Love leads to loss. Every beginning has an end. Treasure every moment, every step of your descent. And there in the depth where souls and stars rest─find your truth."

"I am Elidibus, emissary─bearer of the word of the one true god. And we shall meet again."

"I have borne witness to many such miracles at your side, and would do so again. This is but another obstacle in the road. So come, let us travel it. Drag me though wonder and danger, as you are wont to do, and I shall endeavor not to slow you down."

"Has the laws of man grown so twisted in my absence that it is now permitted to lay hands upon an emissary?"

"And you would remember us? You do forget yourselves. There is no common ground to be found between you and I. Nor do I require any. I have my duty."

"Ere long I will come for you, Warrior of Darkness. And I will save the world."

"For Elidibus is my name. And my mission. Guiding my every deed."

"No! NO! It will not end here! Champions from beyond the rift, heed my call! The time is come to deliver your brethren from darkness! My heart's sole desire is a world free of sorrow. Join with me now in hope and prayer...for the salvation of all!"

"An invocation of eld... Though not Hydaelyn's making... What are you? No─it matters not! You are the enemy, and you will fall! Even should it cost me everything, I will not forsake my duty!"

"Why are you surprised? Did I not say this would be my final act? Lord Zodiark is no more. There's nothing for me here. The ones I love and long to see again are waiting. In that promised land, beyond memory and dream... Now go, Warrior of Light. Go...and do not look back."

"Give Tataru a hug from me, all right?"
