"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."

"Yda: *Getting into a fighting stance* Over my dead body! Hyah!"

"Papalymo: Save your japes or it be our limbs they're fetching."

"Papalymo: Ah, but where are my manners?"

"Yda: Pleased to meet you!"

"Papalymo: I am Papalymo, and the tactless woman beside me here is─"

"Baderon: Aye, such a task was on the books. “Was,” mind. I'm afraid that ship 'as already sailed, friend."

"Dolorous Bear: Ah. Might you be the adventurer who accepted the job of investigating Sastasha?"

"Sari: How observant of you. You have uncovered master summoner Sari's greatest masterpiece: an artificially sentient evocation matrix."

"Emet-Selch: Every hour of every day. But never you mind about that."

"Count Edmont de Fortemps: A future shaped by choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen."

"Papalymo: *wake* Where are we? Near Gridania, you think?"

"Yda: *stumbling a bit* Ugggh...My head..."

"Yda: Take a look around. It's oblivious, isn't it? The quiet, the calm, the beautiful flowers. There's only one place it could be! The great beyond. I do believe we're dead, Papalymo."

"Nanamo Ul Namo: I do not ask that we set aside the decades of conflict and conquest─that we simply choose to forgive and forget. I ask only that in choosing to remember we do not also forsake our compassion and morality, for without that, there can be no reconciliation. Only death without end."

"Montichaigne: Furthermore, while our decision may well've been the correct one, we cannot simply bull our way through these disagreements without inviting doubts or objections."

"[Yda and Papalymo, after being found by the Warrior of Light, starting to wake up after a teleportation spell brought them to the Tweleveswood.]:"

"Papalymo: Oh, Rhalgr take you and your great beyond!"

"Your road goes ever on, as does your story. As does your legacy. Such is the hero's lot─to touch the lives of countless others..."

"Lamitt's Shade: Ardbert, you stubborn idiot. You sweet boy. You never did understand what you meant to me..."

"You don't scare me! I have a giant hammer!"

"Lyna: (after tripping on an injured leg and falling) I...am fine... Completely...and utterly...fine! Better than fine! Hale and hearty and still alive to mourn those who are not. Who I failed to protect when they needed me most."

"Fight and struggle. Seek salvation by your own hands. Though the losses be grave, endure them. Though the victories be hollow, claim them."

"Minfilia: Coming together, providing for one another─that's the only way forward I can see. Since all of our heroes are gone, we'll just have to make heroes of ourselves."

"Almet: "History is learned, not lived". [...] We see the past through our own eyes, and speak of it with our own words. Thus do we come to understand it, in our own way. But this is not the same as remembering."

"Yda: *notices the Warrior* See? Look, here's a psychopomp come to guide us along. Nana, is that you?"

"Curtis: Dying is easy, soldier. Living is harder. Rest. Mend. Regain your strength. You'll need it in the days to come...and mayhap one day we will need it too."

"Curtis: Spoken like a true patriot. But liberty should not be the end in of itself. Liberty is the chance to build something better. A stronger, more prosperous home for our people. It's not quick or easy work, and it is never truly finished─but if you neglect it, then sooner or later, you look up to find you've traded one tyrant for another."

"Grimcogg: You were there, in the middle of it all, strong as a hundred men! A bulwark against the tide of eaters that threatened to overwhelm us! And now you've brought me a sandwich!"

"Lina Mewrilah: I may or may not have overheard our friend the dramaturge utter the word "fetch" a time or three during your last conversation. Don't let it discourage you. I know these tasks would be far from simple were it not for the trust you have fostered with the people of some half-dozen nations."

"Isildaure: Our journeys are not ended by the attainment of riches or fame. It is an unquenchable thirst for the unknown that drives us into the wilds time and again. Even if I explored the world for a thousand years, I would never grow weary of this life."

"No would-be hero could fail to answer this call. For who among us does not yearn for salvation?"

"Moren: (to the Crystal Exarch) "When all falls down around you, rise up". Those were your words. "There may come a day when all hope seems lost. But even should the rest of the world give in to despair─we shall not. We shall fight on, that our children and our children's children might know a better tomorrow"."

"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!"

"My people. My brothers. ...My friends. Stay strong. Keep the faith. At duty's end, we will meet again. We will. We will. The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it."

"I am Elidibus! And it is my duty to steer mankind and the very star upon their true course. This I swore to...to someone. We spoke, and I swore...what? What did I...? This pain, this torment...is nothing! No more than must be suffered to deliver the world from its doom! No more than any of you malformed creatures have known! Even should you lose all that is dear to you. Even should it cost you your life... You bear the burden and fight on, kicking and screaming until your last breath is spent!"

"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!"

"You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present. Cannot unmake the sorrow and suffering fated to come. In full knowledge of this, will you still entrust your life to your foe and make the journey?"

"(as "Ardbert") But this land is our home. And if it is to remain so, now and forevermore, it is we who must protect it. The time to rely on saviors from afar has passed. It is you who must rise. You who must become the new Warriors of Light!"

"To me, Warriors of Light! I am salvation given form... Mankind's first hero...and his final hope! For victory, I render up my all!"

"Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us. May You have...the joy of it. The burden...and the solitude. It falls to You now─You and Your champion─to save our star."

"The people of your time call this the aetherial sea-a name I quite enjoy. For it teems with life, every soul a star on its journey."

"Cocobezi: But should your arcane conflagrations ever fail you, remember my last line of defense: unabashed sobbing."

"Yuyuhase: Pray do not take it personally, my friends. You are the victims of harsh economic conditions."

"Knowledge seeks no man."

"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."
