"The... the Scions of the Seventh Dawn labor for Eorzea's salvation. Whenever the realm is threatened, be it by primal, Ascian, Garlean or any other, we take up arms in her defense, that all in Eorzea may live to see a brighter tomorrow."

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

"If this journey has taught me anything, it is the importance─and difficulty─of holding to one's convictions in the face of failure...of striving always to replace one's ignorance with knowledge."

"Your kind is always so preoccupied with what lies ahead, and so we muddle your vision with fog and glamour. But such trickery is easy to see through. Stand very, very still. Think not of where you need to go, but where you are right now at this moment. At this time, in this place..."

"You mean to return. To the world, where you are hailed as a hero. Hear me then. Not as a hero, but as simply… you. As I learned in Ala Mhigo, you are a formidable foe. Stronger than any I have ever faced. Against you, I need bring my all to bear. I need burn through the candle of my life. This is the sole pleasure I know, and it is the sole pleasure I have to share. And so I come before you. To issue challenge and offer singular bliss. If you wish to walk away, I will not stop you. You value life. You do not burn yours save for reasons you deem worthy. Reasons such as those which brought you here. The salvation of a world and its people. The motives of a hero true. But there is more to you than that. You know this to be true. As surely as you know the thrill of pushing your body and soul to their limits. Of confronting ever-mightier foes, dancing ever closer to the precipice wondering if this will be the one to finally, finally… fill the void. Such pleasures, you seek for their own sake, and no other reason. Is this not so… adventurer?"

"A test of your reflexes!"

"...This is another one of those moments where it really doesn't matter what I have to say, isn't it?"

"You name it, I've been punched by it."

"Ask any creature of this star and those above for answers, and they will tell you what suits their fancy. And they would be right to do so. What meaning there is to be found in the petty vicissitudes of your existence must be gleaned by you and you alone."

"It's fiiine. Just work your magic! Magicks. Whichever."

"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!"

"Man should fight for the joy of it. To live, to eat, to breed─lesser beasts snap and howl at one another for this. Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to embrace violence for its own sake. For we who are born into this merciless, meaningless world, have but one candle of life to burn."

"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?"

"Long, after I am gone, though not even my soul remaineth... My love will be with you forever, my dearest children."

"You're late! Late, late, late! I've been waiting for you to summon me ever since you came here! Waiting and waiting and waiting! But my sapling didn't so much as utter my name! Such a heartless thing he/she is! Cold and cruel and heartless!"

"Yes, no cat must go uncuddled!"

"It requires equal levels of passion and patience."

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

"I was afraid to do anything more than watch for fear of making things even worse... But no longer. After all, the path I once walked is now yours to finish."

"I am not normally one for hollow posturing, but in this game of nations, such gestures carry weight."

"All is excruciating pain. I breathe fire and torment. I birth a world of suffering, to mire and plague. In one fleeting moment, lives come and go, ever moving towards the unknown. And in that fleeting moment, they cry for the answer to the question: Why, given life, are they meant to suffer. To die... As fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest. A quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured. To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you. To find joy, even as darkness descends... And amidst deepest despair, light everlasting."

"Alas, the question I posed to thee in Elpis hath remained unanswered these long years. I would hear thy response, Warrior of Light, shouldst thou emerge victorious."

"All of which is a long way of saying: don't make a choice that leaves you alone. Nothing is worth that─especially not eternity."

"Lands that stretch on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong. And amidst it all, a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before. They are my meaning and my purpose. My love. In spite of...or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe. In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward. So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us. No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk."

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

"Take a shower, stinky."

"Alphinaud! I'm about to do a great many stupid and reckless things. Watch my back, would you?"

"La hee, [...]"

"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."

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

"Stand tall, my friend May all of the dark deep inside you find light again This time, tumbling, turning, we make amends Eternal winds from the land ascend Here to lift us that we won't end"

"Darkness and Light. Despair and hope. As goeth one, so goeth the other. Become Light. Become hope."

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

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

"Urianger: Many a time."

"Life is a series of journeys, my friend, and there's no telling what awaits us on the long road. But what's important is to be true to yourself as you walk it. Only then can we hope to be content when we arrive at the end of one─and step forward into another."

"Y'shtola: Thus do we know..."

"One life for one world. A fair exchange─wouldn't you agree?!"

"Go forth, my child, and be as a beacon of hope for Eorzea and the lands beyond, through all the days of thy life."

"Thancred: We've been here before..."

"Estinien: To never give up."

"Ardbert: Let's finish this!"

"Take the flower. Walk free. For you are free─to go where you wish. To believe what you will."

"Alphinaud: We will stand against fate."

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

"Crystal bearer... I am Hydaelyn. All made one."

"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."

"Alisaie: No matter the cost!"
