"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!"

"Fool. Who are you? No one. Nothing. Once I have reclaimed my heritage, my first act will be to expunge your stain from history's weave. My world will have no need for heroes."

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

"Behold, a sorcerer of eld! Tremble before my glory!"

"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."

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

"Dolorous Bear: Hmph. It would seem that ship has not only sailed, but now returns to harbor, none the worse for its voyage. A pity. We dragged our boots too long on this one."

"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!"

"Remember... remember us... Remember... that we once lived..."

"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!"

"Alisaie: Yes, and I speak fluent Hingan. Come on, there's no point putting this off!"

"The thought of having to bear such a burden for a thousand thousand lives horrifies me. But I would never forsake my duty! I would never forsake my brethren! You do not know me! I've had my fill of your fiction. I will return to my duty...and you will not bother me again."

"Spare me your pity. I have no use for it. If you would do something for me - save our star."

"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."

"Third Sari: Your defeat is inevitable."

"Even now, I do not believe your tale. I would not suffer us to walk such a wretched path. Still, if it must be said... Do not squander it. The legacy I leave you."

"But more than that, the future you seek is not the past we loved. That is why we fought. And why I lost. But though you defeated me, my ideals are inviolate. Invincible."

"And so, as a show of respect to the last of us, I make this declaration. You will not end our journey. That is our answer! The answer of all lives of Etheirys, past and present!"

"Gyoshin: Please at least feign distress over our plight!"

"In darkness seek joy. Surrender not to sadness, and see beyond despair. Walk free, and bear the light for others to follow."

"You who have murdered my brothers─who have taken their selfless labors in service to the one true world and turned them to ash. I see you for what you are. You are death, and only in death shall you serve any purpose."

"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!"

"Alisaie: Hurt...? There wasn't even a fight. I was too late. Too slow. And I thought I could protect you..."

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

"(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!"

"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."

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

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

"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!"

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

"[After the Warrior of Darkness has slumped due to the Light's power, they find themselves in a white void, with Ardbert standing next to them.]"

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Sicard: It's all we know, Captain. If we ain't pirates, what are we?"

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

"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?"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Fourchenault: We will never choose the way of the sword. We will fulfill our mission not through strife and bloodshed, but survival."

"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."

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

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

"Hear... Feel... Think."

"Aymeric de Borel: Upon the souls of they, who sacrificed themselves to pave the way for peace, we will never abandon our cause."
