"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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!"

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

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

"I'm Captain Basch!"

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

"Basch lives!"

"Not a chance! (Pyroclasm)"

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

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

"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."

"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."

"My brother was no liar!"

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

"[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!"

"Go — I will give you wings to fly Cast all your fears into the skyKiss me good-bye, love's mystery All of my life I'll hold you close to me Won't shed a tear for love's mortality For you put the dream in my reality"

"Stairbottom Elder in Old Archades: Word travels fast in this town. New information is born, grows old, and dies in a day."

"Viera in Eruyt Village: It is because the spring remains apart that the flowers bloom."

"Bangaa in Rabanastre: My friend says that o'er 430 revelers came through the Southern Plaza during the big fete! But even if you count the bards... 'Course, he could be countin' the spoony bards, too. That would be another matter altogether. (this is a reference to Tellah's quote from Final Fantasy IV)"

"Cid: And lo! How brightly burned their lanthorn! Casts it back the shadow of Occurian design! Testament that Man's history shall be his alone!"

"Cid: (when using "S-27 Tokamak") (pulls out the S-27 Tokamak) I'm afraid your time here is over! (charges) The curtain falls. (fires) Farewell! (laser hits the crystals, releasing a wall of fire) Ah-hahahahaha-haaaaaa!!!"

"Gilgamesh: Fools! You face the mightiest swordsman in all Ivalice! You face me -- Gilgamesh! Long have I sought the blade of legend; scoured have I the furthest marches, east and west; and now my search brings me here, to you! Your weapons are forfeit to me! Fly, Enkindu! Fly, my faithful companion! I said FLY!"

"Airship Travel Agent: (said if the player has an esper in the party) I'm afraid we can't allow you to board the airship with this...companion. It could interfere with the ship's skystone."

"Prideful Archadian Boy: (if the player uses the Gate Crystal to enter Archades) I saw you come in on the gate crystal. An Ardent, aren't you. No upstanding gentry would use the things. Why leave the city anyway?"

"Vossler: Sky pirates, the future of Dalmasca will not be stolen!"

"Repeated Line: Manufacted Nethicite!"

"Repeated Line: The reins of history back in the hands of Man."

"Mjrn: Stay away!!! Power-needy hume!"

"Larsa: Attention! This is Larsa Ferrinas Solidor. My brother, Vayne, has died honorably in the battle. The Imperial fleet is now under my command."

"Lamont (Larsa): This is what I came here to see. Nethicite."

"Reks: What..have you done?"
