"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."
"Thancred: Weve been here before..."
"Reckless, the lot of you—like bloody pirates! Well, I wont waste my breath trying to talk you round... On account of being a pirate myself. And a pirate who shrinks from a challenge is no pirate at all!"
"Is that all!? O Lady of the Vortex! O mighty Garuda! Of all primals, the most terrible. I say again...IS─THAT─ALL!?"
"Tell me...for whom do you fight? Hmph! Do you believe in Eorzea? Eorzeas unity is forged of falsehoods. Its city-states are built on deceit. And its faith is an instrument of deception. It is naught but a cobweb of lies. To believe in Eorzea is to believe in nothing."
"And when the dust of battle settles, it is ever the strong who dictate the fate of the weak. [...] Only a man of power can rightly steer the course of civilization. And in this land of creeping mendacity, that one truth will prove its salvation."
"Now... now I have you! Stay with me! Focus on my voice! Let expanse contract, eon become instant... Throw wide the gates so we may pass!"
"This tragedy, greater even than the Seventh Umbral Calamity, must be undone. If history must be unwritten, let it be unwritten. Become what you must. Become...the Warrior of Darkness."
"Though it meant depriving a world of its champion, I had to try─for in saving the First, you would bring salvation to the Source as well. But what manner of host harangues his guest in the middle of the road? Let us continue our talk within the Crystarium."
"Despite appearances, I am an old man─one burdened with many...difficult memories, some too painful to recall."
"When I was a boy, many long years ago, I yearned to stand tall as the heroes of eld. But like a fool seeking to pluck the star from the heavens, my every attempt to reprise their deeds fell short... And then, one day, an all but forgotten dream from my youth stood before me, in the flesh. So it was that a new adventure began..."
"I have given you nothing, Praefectus. You have earned it. That will be all. Dismissed."
