| |
| *''"At last, you've come to."''
| |
| *''"Calm yourself. Julius saw the lady aboard his airship before departing westward."''
| |
| *''"Then you'd best prepare for the journey. While young, you exhibit many of the traits of a Gemma Knight. Take this."''
| |
| *''"If you find yourself inflicted with corruption, this spell will draw the taint from your body."''

| * (After defeating Ifrit) ''"Deep within the desert, you will find a cavern containing the ruins of the empire. There, raise aloft Excalibur, and the tower will emerge from the sands like a mirage."''
| |
| * (After defeating Ifrit) ''"Do not be fooled by appearances, Sumo. the sword is a fickle mistress."''
| |
| * (After defeating Ifrit) ''"She will lend you her strength only once she has deemed you worthy."''
| |
| * (After defeating Ifrit) ''"If you are a true Gemma Knight as Sir Bogard and I believe, then we have nothing to fear."''
| |
| * (After defeating Ifrit) ''"You mustn't worry over matters beyond your control. Now go!"''

| |
| * ''"Finish your business and be on your way."''
| |
| * ''"Amanda? If I recall, that foolish girl said she was making for the Shifting Sands–a labyrinth hidden deep in the desert."''
| |
| * ''"None have ever returned from that accursed place. Why she would go there is beyond me."''

| |
| | |
| ==Dwarf 3 (Dwarf Cave)==

| * (Mysterious Traveler) ''"I heard your friend has gone missing. If the locals are to be believed, disappearances are not uncommon."''

| * (Mysterious Traveler) ''"An imperial airship approaches!"''
| |
| * (Mysterious Traveler) ''"Come, milady. I shall see you to safety!"''

| * ''"I was not completely certain that Lady Fuji was a direct descendant of the line of Mana..."''

| * ''"Once again you re too late, boy. The power of Mana is mine."''
| |
| * ''"Lady Fuji! Raise the pendant to the heavens and recite the spell to reverse the cataract's flow."''
| |
| * ''"Manipulating the soul of a single girl is but a simple thing..."''
| |
| * ''"...for he who carries the blood of the Vandole Empire."''
| |
| * ''"Now, I shall reclaim what my ancestors lost. Fuji! Say the words!"''
| |
| * ''"Now fall!"''
| |
| * ''"Late as ever, I see. The ceremony has just come to a close."''
| |
| * ''"The Lady Fuji and I have been wed."''
| |
| * ''"And soon, the world will bow down to the might of a new Vandole!"''
| |
| * ''"Fool!"''
| |
| * ''"Witness the true power of Mana as you drown in a sea of rage and despair!"''
| |
| * ''"That was but a fraction of my might!"''

| |
| * ''"Come on."''
| |
| * ''"How about a change of tune?"''

| * ''"That was for my sister! Now hand over Sumo's pendant!"''
| |
| * ''"You're going to Crooked Boulder, aren't you."''
