• "Sir Bogard asked me not to tell you, but..."
• "The fall from the airship left his legs in ruin."
• "And since that day he has silently cursed himself for being unable to help those in need."
• "But then he would tell us there was a young man who would come and save us all."
• "We all thought it naught but the ramblings of an old man..."
• "...that is, until my niece and I found you and your chocobo."
• "That steed of yours nearly died carrying you to safety."
• "Perhaps she, too, knew that you were special–that you were a reason for hope."
• "The professor's been tending to your bird ever since, though there's still the chance she may or not make it. You'd best see her before..."
• "Try not to bear Sir Bogard any ill will. The poor man has suffered enough..."

Shopkeeper (Jadd Residence)

• "Only thre blood-red tears of a gorgon can break a curse. How do I know this? How do you NOT know this?"

Sumo

• "Don't die on me, Will!"
• "Will, we can talk about this later!"
• "Gemma Knights? Tree of Mana? What are you–? Will! WILL!!!"
• "I won't forget this, Will."
• "I guess It's now or never!"
• "The Dark Lord and his court mage, Julius!"
• "What are they doing here?"
• "Time to make my exit!"
• "I–I'm alive! But where am I?"
• "If it's Bogard you seek, I may be able to help."
• "I wouldn't think of leaving you alone out there, what with the duchy's minions about. My name is Sumo."
• "Pardon me, sir, but I seek a man named Bogard. Might you know where I can find him?"
• "Thinking? I...uh...er..."
• "Oh! Uh...yeah. I was thinking the exact same thing."
• "Right... Good night..."
• "Fuji! She's gone!"
• "Fuji!"
• "Let's get out of here. Seomthing feels wrong about this place."
• "I say we don't stick around to find out."
• "Are you alright? The count didn't...I mean..."
• "She's not my maiden..."
• "My what...? Ah!"
• "...Mother?"
• "The what?"
• "A traveler who helped me back at Kett Manor. I'll find where he went!"
• "Your sister–Amanda–sacrificed her life to save you from Davias's treachery."
• "Fuji! Where are you!?"
• "Julius? But you've been helping me! Why?"
• "Let her go, or I'll–"
• "Fuji..."
• "Wh-Where am I? Where's Fuji!?"
• "I'm going after them!"
• "My thanks, Sir Cibba."
• "Ugggh... That'll hurt in the morning..."
• "I am in your debt. Might you be Watts?"
• "Sir Bogard! Forgive me. I wasn't able to protect Lady Fuji..."
• "Fuji!"
• "I'll circle around and wait for you on the other side!"
• "Wish me luck!"
• "We must hurry. The ship is about to take off."
• "Gah!"
• "I... I can't..."
• "Wh-Where am I? The pendant! It's gone!"
• "Was I dreaming? I could've sworn I heard Amanda's voice... But that's impossible..."
• "What was that!?"
• "Oh, hello there!"
• "Stop following me!"
• "You think I'm your mother! Alright then, come with me!"
• "Would you like to go for a ride?"
• "Wait here, girl."
• "Amanda! I know it was you who took my pendant. Why did you do it?"
• "What do you mean?"
• "You could have told me..."
• "Alright. Come on, Amanda. Let's save your brother!"
• "The gorgon!"
• "There must be another way."
• "I...I can talk with Davias."
• "Maybe I can convice him to change your brother back."
• "Amanda! Are you hurt?"
• "I can't do that, Amanda! We'll...we'll go back to Sir Cibba! He'll know a way to cure you!"
• "I'm sorry, Amanda."
• "Forgive me..."
• "A friend of your sister's."
• "Amanda was...important to me, too. I have vowed to make the man who did this to her pay. You...could join me."
• "Your melodies...are magic?"
• "I must get back that pendant...but..."
• "Parting gift?"
• "Thank you, Lester."
• "Uh-oh..."
• "I guess there's no turning back now."
• "Fuji! Are you in there!?"
• "I... I lost the pendant. I fear it may already by in the Dark Lord's hands."
• "You know that won't be easy."
• "Enough talk! It's time you paid for what you did to Will!"
• "Fuji. You'd best find a place to hide. I don't want to lose you again."
• "Something's wrong... This isn't the real pendant!"
• "Where is Fuji? With the Dark Lord fallen, that leaves only..."
• "I must get to the Great Waaterfall!"
• "Fuji!"
• "Fuji?"
• "Fuji! Are you alright!?"
• "Julius!"
• "Don't do it, Fuji! Come to me!"
• "What did you do to her, Julius!?"
• "Wait!"
• "I... I can't move. So it all ends here..."
• "Wait... Is that...?"
• "Bogard! You're alive!"
• "You're wrong, Sir Bogard. I couldn't save Amanda and I couldn't save Fuji."
• "I am a failure. Your hope is wasted on me."
• "Enough! I'm no knight!"
• "And I was a fool to listen to those who thought I could be!"
• "You're a Gemma Knight! Why don't you save the world!?"
• "Hm?"
• "How can I say not to those eyes?"
• "Holy Sword... You don't mean Excalibur, do you?"
• "Where is it now?"
• "This can't be the blade that conquered Vandole, can it?"
• "The Dime Tower? But I heard it was buried in the Crystal Desert. How are we supposed to find it, let alone raise it?"
• "But this is just a rusty old piece of junk."
• "But what if the sword doesn't deem me worthy?"
• "Does this mean...the tower has risen from the desert?"
• "The bridge! What now!?"
• "Sounds like a plan!"
• "Alright, Marcy. Now jump!"
• "Right. Whatever. Enough talk, Marcy. Use your...uh...thrusting proposals so we can put this place behind us!"
• "Marcy! Noooooo!"
• "Fuji!"
• "Not if I can help it!"
• "The spell. It's broken!"
• "We did it, Fuji. Julius is no more."
• "It's gone..."
• "That voice...!"
• "I will."
• "Fuji..."
• "Goodbye..."

Watts

• "Where did you come from? I though I was the only one down here!"
• "The one and only! Are you here to help me search for mythril? When then, lead on!"
• "I have a tool for every occasion!"
• "Just imagine all the wonderful things I could create with this!"
• "Why, a full suit of mythril armor might even fool Gaia! I must hury back to the forge!"
• "Sumo! Behold, my new creations!"
• "Equip yourself in these, and Gaia is certain to let you pass."

Woman (Kett Manor)

• "Don't venture too far south, lest you stumble across that infernal nest of lizards."
