"Nope, we got a new goal now! Our new goal...is victory! To win every match, defeat every opposing team! To bring the Crystal Cup back to our island! That's all we need to do to win! Easy, ya?"

"Du-u-u-u-de! Our Team is gonna rock, ya?"

"This is the only time! The players fight with all their strength: the fans cheer for their favorite team. They forget pain, suffering... Only the game matters! That's why blitz has been around for so long. Least that's what I think."

"Long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big cities with machina-machines-to run 'em. People played all day and let the machina do the work. And then, well, take a look. Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand along with 'em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, just like you said. If you asked me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get out of hand. What gets me, though...is we gotta suffer, 'cause of what some goofballs did way back when! 'Course, we must always repent for our sins! That's important! It's just that, it's hard to keep at it sometimes, you know?"

"Hey! You okay?"

"It's been... long enough. This is your world now."

"Ten years ago...I honored Jecht's last words, and travelled to Zanarkand. I planned to stay there, watching over you. But when Sin attacked Zanarkand that day, I changed my mind. Outside the dream world, life can be harsh - even cruel. But it is life. He wanted you to have a shot at life. I saw it in Sin's eyes. That's why I brought you here, to Spira."

"Ha! Legendary guardian? I was just a boy. A boy about your age actually. I wanted to change the world too, but I changed nothing. That is my story."

"You remind me of myself. Before, the closer we got to Zanarkand, the more I wondered. When we arrived, Braska would call the Final Aeon. He would fight Sin, then die. I thought my mind was made up long before, but as I stood here my resolve wavered."

"That's how it's done!"

"You rely too much on your magicks!"

"Your pain shall be two-fold!"

"Some can't wait to die!"

"Pray! Now!"

"Think later, Yuna!"

"Unbelievable..."

"What a mess..."

"Jecht... Braska..."

"Don't look to others for knowledge. This is your story."

"Every story must have an ending."

"Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so. Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death... only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly."

"There is a saying: "hurry up and wait." It means, prepare quickly so you're ready for whatever comes next."

"She's naive, serious to a fault, and doesn't ask for help. Yuna's easy to read. But hard to guard. Stand by her, always."

"We will protect Yuna from anyone-even a Maester."

"Outside the dream world, life can be harsh--even cruel, but it is life."

"The ferryman asks a high price."

"The red carpet has teeth."

"I am the troublemaker, after all."

"Guard your emotions first, then guard your summoner."

"Once Lady Yuna fixes her hair, we leave."

"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"

"I hate this place."

"It's alright. It's been… long enough. This... is your world now."

"Never futile, but never ending."
