- EPISODE 1 - The Departed
- //MF 2/26: Temp translation for GI build, but I kind of like it as a translation for 旅立った4人 and as a foreshadowing of the radio broadcast talking about the alleged deaths of Regis/Noct/Luna
- With armistice talks entering their final stages, the entire Kingdom of Lucis is overcome with elation at the prospect of a lasting peace with Niflheim.
- Ahead of the signing ceremony, Prince Noctis sets forth from his homeland with his three-man retinue in tow.
- His destination: Accordo, where he will formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.
- //MF 2/26: Temp translation for GI build. Who knows what else they'll cut? lol
- //MF 2/26: Looks like we're gonna have to come up with a name after all :/ EPISODE 15 - Homecoming
- CHAPTER 1
- So...you thinking to fairy tale Lady Lunafreya back to the Crown City?
- Nah, no need to rush to happily ever after.
- Wow. Still can't believe you're actually tying the knot, dude! How does it feel now that it's finally happening?
- Pretty good
- Fine, I guess?
- C'mon, you can't fool me. Any guy would be over the moon to marry her!
- No big deal.
- Yeah, whatever.
- Not sure
- Won't know 'til it actually happens.
- Makes sense. Wait.
- Think...I'll find someone to marry?
- Don't look at me.
- You'd think royalty would've been spared the holdup.
- I know, that's what I thought.
- No one likes a lazy prince.
- Thanks.
- Just saying Lady Luna's in for a rude awakening. Forget the wedding, you'll be late for your own funeral.
- Don't rush me
- I should have it worked out by then.
- Joke around all you want, but you won't be laughing when she's had it with you.
- I'll be fine.
- I can wake up when I have to. Good, 'cause I didn't join the Crownsguard to serve as your human alarm clock.
- Don't even dream of sleeping in tomorrow, unless you'd prefer to swim rather than sail across.
- Heaven knows Lady Lunafreya's waited long enough.
- We'll see.
- Maybe she'll call the whole thing off.
- This is no laughing matter.
- No problem.
- I think I can handle it.
- Yes, it's all fun and games...until we fail to make the wedding and violate the terms of the peace treaty.
- Listen, Noct.
- It's your last night as a free man. You've gotta live it up, dude!
- Live it up how?
- Alright! So what should we do?
- If you jump off the pier, make sure you come back up.
- I recommend not going overboard.
- No thanks
- I'll pass.
- C'mon!
- CHAPTER 2
- Now for the news on the recent Imperial Military action in Insomnia.
- We bring you the latest reports from the crown city.
- Pull over, wanna hear this.
- Niflheim's forces succeeded in transporting the Lucian crystal out of the Citadel today.
- The empire hereby declares control of the crystal. 
- The crystal is reportedly safe and secure in a military facility well beyond the borders of Lucis.
- Meanwhile, within the city, life is returning to normal as the empire continues to provide aid and assuage the fears of local citizens so hard hit by recent events.
- Slowly but surely, the people of Insomnia have put the past behind them to build a brighter tomorrow.
- You believe that?
- Hardly.
- Ladies and gentlemen, this just in.
- Noctis Lucis Caelum, former Crown Prince of Lucis, has reportedly been found dead.
- I repeat, the prince is dead.
- Noctis was the only surviving son of the House Caelum. He leaves behind no siblings nor heirs.
- His death signifies the end of the royal line of Lucis.
- What about Noct?
- He's dead, apparently.
- Umm...
- Just propaganda to discourage any would-be loyalists.
- This concludes the news from Insomnia.
- And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for popular music hour, where we bring you all of today's finest musical entertainment.
- //tl: Wonder if there's a word missing before "popular."
- Without further ado, let's get started with today's first track.
- Doesn't bother me too much.
- Just wait until they find out they're dealing with a dead man.
- The Wall fell, the crown city followed.
- It rained fire around the Citadel. ù€‘’¹
- Hold on. ù€‘’¹
- It was yesterday. ù€‘’¹
- What the hell are you talking about? ù€‘’¹
- The signing had been planned for yesterday. ù€‘’¹
- That's ridiculous. Why were we going to Altissia? ù€‘’¹
- Why indeed. ù€‘’¹
- See for yourself in all the newspapers. ù€‘’¹
- What a joke.
- ...announced that the terms of the ceasefire have been suspended in light of these events. ù€‘’¹
- In addition to the passing of King Regis, we've now learned that Prince Noctis and Tenebrae's Lunafreya Nox Fleuret have also been found dead. ù€‘’¹
- Take heed.
- Never bow out of what you begin. ù€‘’¹
- So long as you carry the blood royal, so long as you carry my name...
- ...carry your head high.
- So, the peace accord fell apart.
- At the signing ceremony, no less.
- Snakes planned it that way all along.
- Can we ever go back?
- //updated 150108
- They either don't know, or don't care.
- I'll make them care.
- //updated 150108
- We need to keep our heads down for now, at least until we know what we're up against.
- So we stay on the road?
- Like we have a choice.
- //updated 150108
- Not a preferable one, at least.
- We'll go where the winds blow, 'til they carry us home.
- //updated 150108
- Go to him.
- Tell him that I am alive, and I am well.
- ...And that he is ever in my prayers.
- Hey!
- Hm?
- Hey there fella!
- What's your name?
- Umbra?
- There, in his collar, a note.
- //updated 150108
- You know this dog?
- //updated 150108
- It's a letter...from Luna.
- Umbra here is a loyal servent of none other than Her Highness, you see.
- Does this mean what I think it means?
- It means Luna made it out alive!
- It would seem.
- Well, not quite the reunion I was hoping for, but at least she's okay.
- //updated 150108
- There you are, Umbra.
- Good dog.
- Thanks for everything.
- Say hi to Luna for me.
- Whoa!
- Unbelievable!
- //Unused What do you do when you're beat?
- Cut your losses, and plan your next move.
- //Unused He saw this comin' a mile away, and you can bet your britches he wasn't goin' down easy.
- //Unused He may have let 'em in, but he didn't let 'em off without a fight.
- //Unused If I know your old man, he put up a last stand they won't soon forget.
- //Unused In the end, though...
- Well...it just wasn't enough.
- //Unused The royal guard was up in arms that day. Now we know why.
- //Unused So both sides knew there'd be no peace.
- //Unused I done said my piece.
- //Unused Can't even remember the last time I saw Reggie. Feels like a lifetime ago.
- //Unused Marshal.
- //Unused About time you showed up.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Huh uh]
- //Unused Unbelievable. You made it all the way here without backup?
- //Unused Yeah. You make it sound like a big deal.
- //Unused It was for us.
- //Unused There's worse to come.
- //Unused So, tell me how this works.
- //Unused Power passes from the old kings to the new through the royal arms.
- //Unused And now, it passes to you.
- To claim the arms is your right and duty as king.
- //Unused My duty as king of what?
- //Unused My father never told me anything. Never prepared me for this.
- //Unused Noct.
- //Unused He held up that wall with his life—
- //Unused And the wall slowly brought him to his knees.
- //Unused Huh?
- //Unused By the end, he could barely stand on his own two feet.
- //Unused The cane wasn't merely for show.
- //Unused For all his efforts, the wall couldn't hold back fate.
- //Unused He had to make a choice: what to protect, and what to abandon.
- //Unused And he chose to save one prince.
- //Unused What kind of choice is that?
- How many did he sacrifice in my name?
- //Unused A king is sworn to protect his people.
- //Unused Your point?
- //Unused Look at the facts:
- //Unused The crystal's been taken.
- The enemy remains standing.
- //Unused Many are dead, but more are alive still.
- What hope is there for them?
- //Unused Yes, your father chose to save one prince.
- In order to protect his people—YOUR people.
- //Unused "My" people?
- //Unused Then why didn't he say something? He sent me off with a smile! I was—
- //Unused Completely oblivious...
- //Unused He wanted to tell you, said you deserved to know.
- //Unused But when the day came, he didn't want to be the king.
- //Unused In what time you two had left, he simply wanted to be a father.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Uh sss ch huh ch huh sss huh uh huh huh huh]
- //Unused What gave him the right?
- //Unused SFX
- //[Huh ek]
- //Unused The power of kings goes with you, Your Majesty.
- CHAPTER 3
- You guys hear that "wark"?
- Think it was coming from those stables.
- Sounded more like a "kweh"...
- Let's go settle the debate.
- Anybody else hear that?
- It's a chocobo call!
- And a happy one, at that.
- You speak chocobo?
- It's more of an intuition.
- Says it's a "chocobo post."
- One need look no farther than one's nose.
- The chocobo, a yellow-plumed steed-fowl with a uniquely foul stench.
- Think I could pet one? Please? The feathers look so soft!
- Wonder if we could take some out on a ride.
- No better way to navigate this terrain.
- Hm?
- What's that?
- Come around looking for a chocobo ride?
- Well, you're outta luck—they're not ready.
- I'm sure you're disappointed, but what's best for the birds is best for the riders.
- You won't see anything like it anywhere else.
- That there's no man's land, with scars as old as time.
- No.
- You're messing with me.
- Jared and Talcott!
- It's good to see you.
- Prince Noctis!
- Fear not, Iris is safe with me!
- Please excuse my grandson.
- He has yet to learn his manners.
- It's fine.
- Your Highness is kind, but we shan't impose.
- Come, Talcott.
- Good night, Prince Noctis.
- Iris, what was it like inside the crown city?
- Not pretty. The Citadel took a beating, but most of the outlying neighborhoods made it through in one piece.
- The empire set their sights on tactical targets.
- If there's anything else on your mind, just let me know.
- Yeah, uh, thanks.
- What?
- So...about Lady Lunafreya.
- I keep hearing she was in town.
- Apparently she left right away, but at least it means she's okay.
- Good to hear.
- Hope you get a good night's sleep.
- CHAPTER 4
- Heat emanates from every stone of this oven.
- Everything looks all hazy.
- Even the breeze is hot in here.
- Heat's making me woozy.
- Feeling a tad lightheaded.
- Is it possible for me to melt?
- How the hell does it get this hot?
- We're shielded from the blasts here.
- //ALT: We'll be shielded from the blasts here.
- We're safe here for the time being.
- //ALT: We're safe here for the time being.
- They got backup.
- Great, more of 'em.
- Blasted reinforcements.
- Ugly and persistent, worst kind.
- That's a nice pile we got going.
- Seemingly no end to them.
- Enough of this—time to cut and run.
- Don't we have somewhere better to be?
- Time is on their side.
- We should go.
- So, your head still hurting you?
- Not now.
- Only when it shakes.
- //updated 150108
- Earthquakes and headaches.
- Guess those kinda fit together.
- The Archaean's call would account for the tremors and the pain.
- The phenomenon seems beyond mere coincidence.
- //ALT: Ascribing it to the voice of the Archaean is merely conjecture. Nevertheless, the correlation is undeniable.
- Be nice to chat without my head splitting open.
- Won't get any better on its own.
- Let's pay him a visit so you can tell him how you feel.
- Titan dwells amid the Disc of Cauthess, or so the legends say.
- No living soul has ever stepped foot in the vale, let alone laid eyes upon the Archaean.
- //tl: "stepped in" or "set foot in" They call that place the Forge of Gaia.
- //tl: As an epithet, recommend a small f.
- Oh yeah.
- That definitely sounds like the kinda place I'd hang out if I were a god. A god or a king.
- //ALT: Legends of gods and kings.
- Does the empire even have any idea the prince is out here?
- //The empire even know the prince is out here?
- All these quakes are getting to me.
- //ALT: The quakes are my only real concern.
- You can't worry about everything.
- Just gotta hope it works out.
- //ALT: No use worrying about him.
- Just gotta hope it works out.
- I'm guessing that used to say "Keep Out!"
- Your guess is as good as mine.
- Can't tell.
- I can tell you there's no going back.
- No going back, and only danger ahead.
- I heard a voice...
- You mean... The voice of Titan.
- Keep moving if you wanna hear more.
- No way.
- End of the road.
- The road appears to run through.
- //updated 150108
- Then where there's a will, there's a way.
- Let's go.
- Hey!
- You're not gonna believe this view!
- Hurry up and get over here!
- So hot...
- The view's not bad, but all the heat's making me dizzy.
- Yeah. Feels like the astral shard's about to blow.
- What was that?
- Take cover here!
- Hey, you're on fire!
- Put it out!
- We're not talking sunburns and heat rash here.
- Bearing the brunt of a blast could have fatal consequences.
- Can't just...wait 'em out?
- Out of the frying pan...
- Who wants to lead the way?
- One blast is all it will take out here on the ledge.
- If we don't find cover fast, we'll be toast.
- Long way down...
- Don't think I can take it up here much longer.
- Well, beats the alternative.
- You feel that? It's coming... Go there before it gets here!
- Whaddaya mean?
- Go where?
- In! Go in! Highness! We got you.
- Come on up!
- No time to celebrate.
- Here comes trouble!
- Ugh, it's infested!
- Could be killed!
- Let's not lose our heads.
- Oh boy... Yeeeow!
- No place to hide.
- Let's run. The imperial army!?
- The hell are they doing here?
- Looking for a fight, no doubt.
- Well, they found one.
- Who wants to explain this?
- Hard to imagine they'd follow us here...
- You think there's more of 'em?
- Hmph. Bring 'em on.
- LAPINAKA LPRFSI//the earth
- SPRRI QAKQAPA//shall be reborn.
- The ground—it's crumbling!
- Unbelievable.
- Double-time it!
- Noct, hurry.
- //Unused You know this guy?
- //Unused Enough not to trust him.
- //Unused Aren't nursery rhymes curious things?
- //Unused Like this one:
- "From the deep, the Archaean calls..."
- //Unused This seems childish even for you.
- //Unused "...Yet on deaf ears, the gods tongue falls,
- The king made to kneel, in pain, he crawls."
- //Unused So how do we keep him on his feet?
- //Unused What, should we knock first?
- //Unused No need, you have a guide.
- One who knows your host like no other.
- //Unused How kind of you to offer.
- //Unused My pleasure.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Chhh yeah]
- //Unused Will the lady grace us with her presence?
- //Unused Iris, beat it.
- //Unused Very well. Suppose it's just us gents then.
- //Unused You really think it'll work?
- //Unused No other remedy has.
- //Unused Worth a shot.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ah ah]
- //Unused We see where he leads,
- //Unused Worst case, drop him.
- //Unused Brilliant.
- //Unused Let's do it.
- //Unused I've never been one to stand on ceremony, but such an occasion calls for an introduction. Please, call me "Ardyn."
- //Unused Well, that's the end of the road.
- //Unused It's been nice knowing you, guys.
- //Unused It's...the empire.
- //Unused Fancy meeting you here!
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ngaaa]
- //Unused This guy.
- //Unused Oh, dear me. You haven't forgotten my name already, have you?
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ee yaaa]
- //Unused Ardyn. Ardyn Izunia.
- //Unused Imperial Chancellor Izunia?
- //Unused At your service.
- I've come to your aid, believe it or not.
- //Unused Let's say we don't.
- //Unused Then an explanation is in order—but this is neither the time nor place. Hurry aboard.
- //Unused Trust me or do not—the choice is yours...
- ...but only one of those options lets you leave here alive.
- //Unused Buried among the rubble, is it?
- //Unused We didn't come all this way to die here.
- We should go. Noct?
- //Unused Fair enough.
- We need to go!
- Some kind of problem?
- I'm afraid these mountains are unsafe for trespassers.
- The army is tending to the issue, yet I must ask you be on your way.
- Luthus. Say wha-?
- Huh?
- The Archaean's memorial is no more.
- There is nothing left for you here.
- Wait.
- What about Luna?
- Her fate is yet unknown to us.
- You would do well to obey your calling.
- No man shall be king that the ring does not will.
- Don't know about you, but that imperial weirdo gives me the creeps.
- Her Highness's brother is not of the empire.
- Why's Luna's brother on their side?
- What other side is there to be on?
- Curious he spoke of the ring.
- Well, I'm "obeying my calling" the best I can.
- We really did a number on it this time.
- D- b- Awwww man.
- Well, it's only natural considering all we've been through.
- Make the call?
- Make the call.
- Like we have a choice.
- Indeed.
- Reckon I'mma have to take her in for a bit.
- Yeah, I know.
- Do you think there's anything you can do?
- I can fix 'er up good as new!
- Please give our regards to Cid.
- And take care of yourself out there.
- Always do.
- I'll call y'all soon as she's ready.
- Y'all just sit tight 'til then.
- What is it?
- I think Titan left me with somethingâ€a gift.
- What is it?
- Like, a gift.
- Yeah, that doesn't really help.
- It's hard to describe.
- Just something I feel in my bones, a power...a presence.
- Sounds like you've received some sort of blessing.
- I only wonder what Titan was trying to tell me.
- Now that it's dead, we may never know.
- He may not be.
- Well, whatever this gift is, it's yours.
- I know.
- Hm?
- I caught that sideways glance, Ignis.
- Someting's up!
- It just moved.
- It's moving!? Wha—?
- Step on the gas and get us out of here!
- One step ahead of you.
- It's a "thing"?
- Whoa! That thing is huge, and it's looking right at us!
- Can anyone explain what the hell that is?
- I can hardly believe it myself.
- It appears to be an adamantoise.
- You mean they're real?
- Ridiculous.
- Everyone knows that's just a fairy tale!
- Yeah? Why don't you tell it that.
- CHAPTER 5
- Hey Noct, it's man's best friend.
- She sent you, didn't she.
- With a letter.
- Any news?
- You crossed the sea to bring this to me.
- The sea?
- Turns out Luna is in Altissia.
- I trust she's well.
- Hey!
- Sounds like you've got a date waiting!
- She say anything else?
- Says she's got something for me.
- Finally!
- Some good news for a change!
- We can cross the sea from Caem.
- It'll take some arranging.
- We'll have to leave the car behind.
- So be it.
- //Unused Gentiana.
- //Unused So, the boy has become a man.
- Much hardship has come to pass.
- //Unused And now the covenant is kept—
- the Landforger shed his grace on the king.
- //Unused Yet the might of earth alone will not suffice to carry the Godstone.
- //Unused Hm?
- //Unused The king has traveled far and wide,
- but only now does his journey truly begin.
- //Unused By mortal words and divine will,
- the blessings of the Six await.
- //Unused The Stormsender's temper the king must first enlist.
- Would he hold the Godstone once more, this path he is to follow—
- //Unused The path paved by the Oracle.
- //Unused Where is Luna?
- //Unused The eye of the storm.
- //Unused Can I...see her?
- //Unused Once the covenant is forged,
- the Oracle and ring will await the king at the Walls of Water.
- //Unused If the king is wise, he will hasten to her...
- for covenants come not without cost.
- //Unused SFX
- //Unused You'd at least heard of Messengers?
- //Unused In legends.
- //Unused Yes, those—the Oracle's divine escorts.
- //Unused Whoa.
- //Unused So we're off to pray for thunder and lightning?
- //Unused If we're to ever have any hope of overcoming the empire, we're going to need a little help from above.
- //Unused Until the crystal is restored, let the storm rage.
- //Unused Guys?
- //Unused Long has it been, Noctis.
- //Unused Ravus.
- //Unused You've accepted the Fulgurian's blessings.
- //Unused SFX
- //Unused Yet you know nothing of the consequences.
- //Unused Watch it.
- //Unused SFX[Djuh]
- //Unused Not good...
- //Unused Be still. All of you.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ungh]
- //Unused Heir to a crown befitting no other...
- //Unused Awful high and mighty for an imperial rat.
- Siding with the enemy to hunt down Luna!?
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ngah haaa]
- //Unused I am the enemy. Never forget this.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Gk ah ah ah]
- //Unused The king's sworn shield.
- //Unused You better believe it.
- //Unused A brittle shield is fit for naught but the smelter.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Nguh huh]
- //Unused Gladio!
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ooo]
- //Unused Hey!
- //Unused Wanna play? I'm game.
- //Unused Should the chosen one die, that too is fate.
- //Unused Right! Enough fun for now.
- //Unused Need a hand, Highness?
- //Unused Not from you.
- //Unused Come, come, after all we've been through.
- Who can you trust if not your friends?
- //Unused Right. Wait, what?
- //Unused Spare us your mockery.
- //Unused I couldn't be more sincere.
- We hereby withdraw.
- //Unused How's that?
- //Unused Because fate has seen fit to bring us together.
- Your untimely end would be most unbefitting.
- //Unused Nor would it be very honorable of me to kill you.
- I, of course, have my own interests to protect.
- //Unused You of all people should understand. You are the king.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Ch heh]
- //Unused Ah, a brave and noble soul, your good father.
- Hoping against hope, defying the enemy to his dying breath.
- //Unused Little good that did the crown city, of course.
- But can you readily relinquish the crystal?
- //Unused No telling what havoc the powers-that-be may wreak next,
- though I can say they're hell-bent on finding that ring.
- //Unused Nay, High Commander?
- //Unused What is the Line of Lucis without its crystal?
- What rightful heir would not fight to reclaim it?
- //Unused I hold the kings of eld in the utmost esteem.
- Alas, it will not do for your line to end here, now will it?
- //Unused You're serious—you'll just be on your way?
- //Unused When next we meet, it shall be across the seas.
- //Unused I believe you have a courtship to consummate.
- //Unused Just so happens we have business of our own with the tutelary deity. Don't we?
- //Unused Fare thee well, Your Majesty, and safe travels.
- //Unused Hey!
- //Unused Next time? We finish this.
- //Unused You guys know that guy?
- //Unused Ravus Nox Fleuret....
- Elder brother of Lady Lunafreya.
- CHAPTER 6
- //Unused Oh, Gladdy. What's wrong? I let you down.
- I never made it to Caem. The empire came while you were gone. We kept quiet about Noct, nobody said a word.
- //Unused It didn't matter—it didn't stop them.
- //Unused Poor Jared, it all happened so fast.
- //Unused Iris, what happened to Jared?
- //Unused He just kept bleeding... We couldn't save him.
- //Unused Oh no.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Uh huh]
- //Unused SFX
- //
- //Unused It's not right.
- We should've been here.
- //Unused But I won't let the empire get away with it. They'll pay for what they've done.
- //Unused I doubt the empire has intentions of stopping us—they've certainly had their chances.
- //Unused That does not, however, assure the safety of our allies.
- //Unused I don't think it's worth the risk. We can manage by ourselves...far as I know.
- //Unused It's not that I disagree. It's just...
- //Unused We will go to Caem.
- //Unused We've got everything planned out.
- All our things are packed and ready.
- //Unused How can we stay here?
- //Unused Each of us left so we could help our prince. It was true for Jared, and it's true for Talcott.
- //Unused Really up for this?
- //Unused Yes.
- //Unused Noct, let us.
- //Unused That boy thinks the world of you.
- You're all that's keeping him going.
- //Unused We all go.

- Don't we know her?
- 'Fraid so.
- Ugh.
- Do you think she remembers us?
- One of us, at least. Quite the unexpected reunion.
- Those guys your friends or something?
- You appeared to be on good terms. Who? Biggs and Wedge?
- They're more "subordinates" than they are "friends," but I trust 'em all the same.
- The whole "bromance" thing is cute and all, but I expect a little more backbone out of my "recruits."
- Anyone volunteer to be captain?
- I bet I could do it.
- I volunteer Ignis.
- You up for it, Prompto?
- I am now!
- Excellent! Time for the real "training" to begin.
- Hey, Four-Eyes. I sense a lot of potential in you. Let's see how you handle this.
- Well, I daresay I won't be able to wield it with the same finesse as you.
- You can learn.
- Yeah, Iggy! She can teach you.
- You guys slack off while I was gone?
- The girl? You fight 'er?
- Nope. Befriended her.
- Just like that?
- It's complicated.
- How complicated?
- I dunno how to explain it. She's not so bad.
- Not-so-bad sounds good to me. Here's to new friends.
- CHAPTER 8

- I ain't gettin' any younger. Bring 'em over!
- //Unused Whoa, it's Cor!
- //Unused What brings the marshal to the coast?
- //Unused An old friend. Just dropped in on him. Ended up dropping a ton of errands on me.
- //Unused Then we started catching up on old times and didn't stop.
- //Unused So, you ship out tomorrow?
- //Unused Yeah.
- //Unused Something I been meaning to tell you.
- //Unused What's that?
- //Unused I'm sorry.
- Sorry I failed to protect your father.
- //Unused More than that.
- I'm sorry I'm alive, and he's not.
- //Unused It all happened on my watch.
- I wasn't strong enough.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Uh heh]
- //Unused Sunnuva bitch with the most grit.
- That's what a king is.
- //Unused In his day, Reggie was one stubborn ol mule.
- That boy could raise hell with the worst of 'em.
- //Unused And he knew a king never backs down. Never showed one single goddamn speck of weakness.
- //Unused The day you left, he knew what he was in for.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Yeah]
- //Unused Was nothin' nobody could do about it, is all I'm tryin' to say.
- //Unused Yeah, I realize that.
- //Unused Well, that's all in the past now.
- And you come a long way since then.
- //Unused You done a good job running about,
- and it's done you good in turn.
- //Unused It's true. You're stronger now.
- //Unused Hey, don't act so surprised.
- //Unused Reggie may be gone, but I can still see him now—in you.
- //Unused One thing.
- Don't forget about the boys by your side.
- //Unused I wouldn't.
- //Unused Out here, you'll find they're all you got.
- The years'll go by, but that bond? It'll never break.
- //Unused Same time, you gotta see it the other way, too.
- //Unused You take it for granted the bond won't break and don't bother talkin' truth no more, well...
- //Unused It hurts like hell.
- //Unused SFX
- //[Nnnm]
- //Unused Look, I know he had you to raise.
- And I'm sure he had his reasons.
- //Unused Just you hear what I'm tellin' ya:
- your brothers give more 'an just their lives for you.
- //Unused Trust in 'em. Always.
- //Unused Okay, boat'll be ready in the morning.
- CHAPTER 9
- Head to the rendezvous point.
- Board the imperial assault craft.
- Sever the cables attached to Leviathan.
- Dodge Leviathan's attacks.
- Join Gladiolus.
- Stop Leviathan's tidal wave.
- Defeat Leviathan.
- The Summit
- Bound by Destiny
- The Trial of Leviathan
- Listen to Luna's address.
- Search for survivors.
- Make at yourselves at home.
- Something to wet your whistle?
- Regis sent word of your visit in advance, before all that...unpleasantness.
- So— Noctis, Gladiolus, Ignis, and Prompto, if memory serves.
- You've come a long way.
- Not without a purpose, I presume.
- Much is afoot, what with the Hydraean, the Oracle, and the empire all converging on our fair city.
- Word travels fast in Altissia.
- Sometimes even truth, if you see past the tinge of imperial propaganda.
- Yeah.
- Niflheim casts a long shadow.
- Ironically, the terms of our independence grant the empire free reign to come and go as they please.
- Don't be fooled by this sightseer's paradise, lads—You're not in Lucis anymore.
- Speaking of which, I trust the Regalia served you well?
- [Aaah] Thirty years gone by since I toured the continent with her.
- All this time I'd fancied this place my home, but loss has shown me otherwise.
- Your dad's friend seems like a cool guy.
- Just wonder how he ended up here.
- I can totally picture him in the crown city.
- Any thoughts?
- Not really.
- Would it be rude to ask about eats?
- Has that ever stopped you?
- No idea what kind of fish they have here… …but if you catch it, I'll eat it.
- Must've been quite the earful.
- You can say that again.
- Sounds like you've got something to sleep on.
- Indeed.
- Perhaps a quick word then?
- About?
- The goings-on in town.
- Best you know your roads before you arrive at a conclusion.
- Hey, it can't hurt to ask, right?
- Sure.
- What makes you so sure the imperial army's coming?
- After they felled the Archaean in Lucis, one can surmise it only a matter of time before they come to Altissia.
- The empire's not content ruling all the land—they want the heavens as well.
- Hence they'll come for the Hydraean, which I imagine should come as no surprise to you.
- Call me a cynic, but I have my misgivings about the Honorable Madam Secretary.
- Then ask away. What proof do we have that Lady Lunafreya is in the government's care?
- You mistrust Camelia, and I don't blame you.
- But ask yourself this: Why would they open the Hydraean's altar, which is of no good to them without the Oracle?
- Of course, it's "no good" they'll be up to, letting her summon the Hydraean to a military massacre.
- There IS this one thing that's been on my mind.
- Cool if I ask? Go for it.
- So, what's the "Serpent's Rage?"
- An old sailor's tale we might see for ourselves.
- In short, the Sea Goddess wrought havoc before entering her forced slumber.
- Perhaps she slept it off, or perhaps not—an "unsettling" prospect for politicians.
- They'll guard Lady Lunafreya, so long as you fight off the imperial army, yes?
- That's the long and short of it.
- You must think it a fool's errand.
- Yet it is a gambit, not pure sacrifice—they wager that you will claim the might of the Hydraean.
- Lady Lunafreya is loved and revered.
- Turning her over to the empire would amount to political suicide, but that hardly stops them from using her for leverage.
- All is fair in love and war, particularly if it turns out you can bring true peace.
- This is not the utopia Insomnia was.
- Here, each acts only in his own best interests.
- We stand divided against an empire that has come to bear down upon us, much as it did Lucis.
- Your heart is yours to follow.
- Just see to it that you proceed with caution.
- Should you ever need it, Maagho is at your disposal. As am I, of course.
- Sleep well, lads.
- Well, guess we need to go give her our decision.
- Like there was any other option.
- So long as the empire is involved, our choices will be made for us.
- My dear Camelia, it's been a while.
- Oh, I won't be staying long.
- So, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- I heard about your distinguished guests.
- You've an ear for gossip.
- Hardly any match for yours.
- Do you flatter me?
- Must you doubt me?
- Old habits.
- Hmph.
- It's time we broke them.
- Curious.
- That who I think?
- Who? Who?
- Gentlemen, I won't waste your time.
- My name is Camelia Claustra.
- First Secretary of the Accordo Protectorate.
- You should know we have Lady Lunafreya in our care.
- ...For the time being.
- I am inclined to surrender her to the empire.
- What? But not before I weigh the words of the King of Lucis.
- When you're prepared to discuss terms, come to my estate.
- Once the rite is complete, we'll give them all we've got.
- We knew we'd have to take on the empire sooner or later.
- Then it's settled.
- Per the agreement, we will guarantee the Oracle's safety... ...insofar as it does not endanger our people.
- Once the empire attacks, I cannot—will not—be held responsible for her.
- Abandoning her at the altar?
- There's nothing to stop her from running.
- And nothing to stop me from going there now.
- Except the terms of this agreement.
- I won't let you jeopardize the lives of my people.
- Yet we're supposed to take a deal that'll cost hers?
- It's hardly a death sentence.
- The girl can fend for herself.
- Against an entire army?
- If you'd prefer, I could deliver her to the empire right now.
- You wouldn't...
- You've quite the penchant for picking on Lucian men.
- And you the penchant for eavesdropping.
- A skill I acquired here—
- My ears are all that's kept me in business.
- Certainly wasn't your manners.
- There is a play, once you know all the angles.
- We move our king to the fore to keep the pawns out of harm's way, while our pieces offer support from the back rank.
- Of course, our dear queen here is in no position to abet the enemy.
- Hmph.
- She has an ostensible allegiance to maintain, which is why she's alerted her imperial superiors to your presence.
- She did!?
- It's nothing personal.
- She wishes to keep the empire in check as you do, but can't afford to tip her hand.
- Should we prevail, she benefits by having her masters cast out of the capital.
- And should we fail, she ingratiates herself with them by having delivered the king.
- I'd hoped at least His Majesty would understand.
- I am First Secretary of Accordo.
- My loyalties lie with my people, and nowhere else.
- The liar-in-chief in a land of snakes.
- In her role, honesty is a luxury that can be ill afforded.
- You'll engage the empire as agreed.
- How you do so is up to you. But don't forget: the Oracle is in our custody.
- If you value her safety, you'd best behave yourselves.
- Same to you.
- We'll take care of the empire, but if you pull anything before the covenant— we'll take care of you next.
- I can't promise something I can't help.
- Of course.
- You certainly opened up to them, though.
- What can I say? I have a soft spot for the young and tragic.
- They've lost Regis, they've lost the crystal…
- Was it so long ago the last Oracle was taken from them?
- We've seen the empire go mad these ten-odd years.
- That we have.
- Holding my walls won't matter when the whole world crumbles.
- What about Luna?
- Then I'll just go to the altar right now.
- You're leaving her for dead.
- No two ways about it.
- No deal.
- Same to you.
- Alright.
- If worse comes to worse, you can threaten to throw the trident into the sea—then they'll listen.
- In the meantime, it will be well guarded.
- Better than the Oracle herself.
- Understood.
- I shall reclaim it at the altar.
- You'll be escorted by imperial soldiers.
- I know.
- Think of it as a necessary evil in order to forge the covenant.
- I am in your debt.
- Easy to see why they all adore you.
- Once it's over, you may go as you please, but you do so without our protection.
- So be it.
- You'd better get going.
- Your public is waiting for you.
- The wedding day arrives, but alas, without the bride.
- Of course, we've come for the Hydraean, and you've gone to such lengths to prepare.
- Merely my duty.
- Ah, but for an outsider to lead the imperial army must be a battle in and of itself.
- You've spoken to Lady Lunafreya?
- No.
- That obstinate secretary, standing in the way.
- While you rush off to slay the Hydraean for your poor sister's sake.
- I know the price of the covenant.
- First the Archaean, then the Fulgurian, and soon the Hydraean!
- Tragic...yet were the bond to be severed...
- The Oracle is not your concern.
- ...the world would be the daemons' for the taking.
- Your presence is not required.
- And then there's this.
- My arm, what of it?
- The pitiable fate of one spurned by the light...
- And you wished only to be its champion.
- Meanwhile that recalcitrant vagabond is chosen.
- I understand more than you can know.
- You do seem rather...well-acquainted.
- Acquaintances are the means by which I keep an ear to the ground and an eye on the heavens.
- One doesn't live to my age without making a few friends.
- We suffered great losses slaying the Archaean, and this battle should prove no different.
- Should the chancellor insist on staying, I must insist on appointing guardsmen for your safety.
- Most kind of you to care for my...well being.
- Pryna...
- Pryna!
- Such a terrible storm.
- My poor escort... the waves ate him alive.
- You...
- Most perceptive, must run in the family.
- You're holding onto something that doesn't belong to you.
- And I'm supposed to collect it.
- But on second thought, you keep it.
- We can't have a king without a ring, now can we?
- And do remind him about the Crystal.
- I want him to know his imperial friend is behind him.
- You have time enough to carry out your errand.
- The question is, have you the willpower?
- Of course you do, you're dying to see him!
- The anticipation is killing me as well!
- Ah, to see the look on his face as he watches his beloved die before his eyes!
- Come, sweet prince!
- Your bride awaits!
- I will pass the ring to the rightful king.
- The rightful king... will restore light to the world.
- And then, at long last, those in thrall to darkness shall find peace.
- Luna!
- Ladies first, sweet Lunafreya.
- Good luck finding peace.
- I'm coming.
- Hold on!
- Noctis...
- Luna!
- Back with us?
- In body.
- And spirit?
- How long was I out?
- Days.
- The worst has passed.
- The empire's withdrawn altogether.
- Collateral damage was minimal.
- Yeah?
- Still...damage was done.
- Lady Lunafreya couldn't be saved.
- I'll summon the others.
- Will you eat?
- Sure.
- Very well, though it may take a while.
- What happened to you?
- Ah, well, in the name of the greater good, many sacrifices had to be made.
- But, far more lives were saved, owing to the valiant king.
- The other two?
- They suffered no wounds.
- Right.
- Umbra came by...left that for you.
- CHAPTER 10
- Look around, but don't miss our stop.
- While you're up, could you go and check if the dining car's still full up?
- I know it's hard, but you gotta stay focused.
- Try not to overthink things.
- Er, dumb question, but would your glasses help?
- Can't even see as far as my feet.
- Full house.
- We're pulling in.
- Remember, it's on you to claim this power.
- Don't expect Ignis to follow (in his state).
- Now arriving at Cartanica. This is Cartanica.
- It's not the hassle, it's the risk.
- You'd better sit this one out.
- I can't sit idly by.
- Let me join you. Please.
- Careful out there.
- You said yourself it's no cakewalk to the tomb.
- I'll let you keep an eye out for the wildlife.
- We'll take the old quarry lift down.
- Let's take it nice and slow.
- It's not like old times.
- Whatever it takes.
- Preparations in order?
- All set.
- Just a sec.
- Just gotta make it in.
- We're a foreign species in this environment.
- Mind we don't end up prey.
- Right, gotcha.
- Whoa, check it out.
- Whoa... There's this tree, and it's massive.
- We've reached the foot of the greatwood.
- Footing's bad. Watch your step.
- As best I can.
- Go at your own pace, we'll wait.
- So, everything else looking alright?
- Figuratively. If only my eyesight would return.
- Well, at least you made it back.
- Honestly, I thought you were a goner.
- Not seeing any better at all?
- No.
- You know there are ways you can help beside being with us in person.
- I know.
- Do you understand that, Noct?
- Don't need you to tell me.
- Guess it's not your problem.
- Let's double time it back.
- If I never see another one of those it'll be too soon.
- That would stink, amirite?
- Still wouldn't stink as bad as that attitude.
- Hey, I've got an idea: Maybe you can just mope the empire to death?
- You lookin' for a fight?
- You got any in you?
- Aw, c'mon guys...
- Has night fallen?
- Um, yeah.
- Hmm… The nights grow longer by the day. Can't just be the season.
- If the train's going to be unloading there, why don't we unload a bit?
- If it'll help Noct move on.
- Sure, let's check out Tenebrae.
- Hey look, prince charming's back.
- What?
- He never left.
- And they lived happily ever after.
- All's well that ends well.
- Don't you love how trains let you just sit back and enjoy the ride?
- So, we're gonna roll through Tenebrae.
- Not before visiting the royal tomb at Cartanica. And the train'll just wait for us.
- How's the eyes?
- The wound's improved, but my sight has not...
- You wanna pass on Cartanica?
- No, I should be fine, given a bit more time. Forgive me, Noct.
- Once past Tenebrae, it's on to, uh, Niflheim.
- We've a chance to take a brief furlough in Tenebrae, courtesy of the first secretary.
- Camelia comes through.
- That's great! Should we...drop by?
- I don't know.
- Goddammit, how long you gonna mope like this?
- We're not stopping in Tenebrae. You know where we're headed and what we're out to do.
- So get a goddamn grip already.
- I've got a grip. That's why I'm here.
- Don't give me that crap.
- What're'you-- Not when you won't wear the ring, let alone look at it.
- She gave her life so you could do your duty, not so you could feel sorry for yourself.
- And Ignis, he took one for you. You should be apologizing, not him.
- But no, first you drag your feet and put it on him for not being able to drive us.
- Then when the Secretary goes out of her way to book the train for us, you make them drag the Regalia on board!?
- To be fair, it was Camelia who offered first...(with the Regalia)
- Think you got it bad? Take a look around! Your eyes still work.
- Where're you off to? I need some fresh air.
- A moment.
- Is everything okay?
- No, it isn't. And I can't let things remain as they are.
- While I can understand your frustration, I can't bear to listen to it any longer.
- Let's be frank: My vision hasn't improved, and probably won't. Yet in spite of this... I would remain with you all.
- To the very end.
- Sorry, but I object. War is a matter of life and death.
- But we'll be there (to help him)! It's not about us looking out for him.
- Then he should be free to choose.
- There's more to it than just what he wants!
- I know full well! I won't ask you to slow down. If I cannot keep up, I will bow out.
- What says His Majesty?
- You don't have to do this.
- Whatever obligation you feel, I release you from it.
- Noct.
- Having said that, I can't send you away. It feels...wrong somehow.
- The hell kind of a decision is that?
- I've always been able to tell what was troubling you, since our childhood days. Listen to me, Noct: what's done is done.
- You needn't torment yourself on my account.
- I will conquer this adversity and prove my worth, if only you'll let me.
- I can't show you from afar, and what's more... I want to be there when you rise as king, to see it with what sight I have left.
- Let's do it.
- We can do it.
- We can get ourselves killed.
- We've got the spoiled leading the blind.
- Gladio, make no mistake, Noct will take the ring, once he is truly ready.
- Alright already.
- Doesn't make us any safer now.
- Watch your backs.
- I'm sorry.
- You have enough to worry about.
- One less thing now.
- Yeah, yeah...
- CHAPTER 11
- Oh dear, a deadend!
- I've no where to run...
- Now look what you've done. You've held the train for the firing squad!
- The tunnel collapsed, and that was the last I saw of him.
- Explains the blast I heard.
- We'd best clear the train of all civilians once we reach Tenebrae.
- We've already shaken the imperial army.
- You DID encounter the Chancellor aboard.
- THINK I did.
- ALT: That's what I saw.
- That alone gives us cause to take every conceivable precaution.
- What the─?
- You guys seein' this?
- It's sand. And…snow?
- On the map this was a stretch of desert.
- That's half right. The other half is frozen.
- The remains of the Glacian. She's supposed to have been dead a long time.
- If the Frostbearer can project her essence upon this terrain, she met yet be able to grant you power.
- Huh? Guys?
- The hell is going on?
- This is hardly citadel fare.
- Pity your father's outburst killed all the chefs.
- You bastard!
- Ignis?
- Back with us?
- Thought you might've dozed off, seeing how you didn't respond.
- Prompto, you notice anything...odd?
- Uh, can't say I have.
- Did I miss something?
- Gladio, did something strange happen?
- I don't know. If it did, I didn't see it.
- I take it you're not hurt.
- I'm fine.
- You can make your way here, then.
- Gladio is with me.
- Gotcha.
- All good on your end?
- For the time being.
- All right. I'm on my— Gotta go—company.
- What in the world...?
- You made it, and you even ditched the daemons.
- Aranea. The hell happened here?
- You should see the manor, come with me.
- Just come on, I'll fill you in along the way.
- The daemons wrought havoc?
- There's more to it than meets the eye, speaking of which.
- Long story.
- Oh.
- Where's your chipper little sidekick?
- Wish we only knew.
- Sorry to hear.
- So if it wasn't the daemons, that leaves… The imperial army.
- The army that you fight for.
- Fought for.
- My men and I are in the search and rescue business now.
- Huh.
- Why the attack on their own territory?
- A "royal welcome," they called it.
- Orders were to leave nothing standing.
- Petty, I know.
- They'd already sent a unit after your train.
- More like a battalion. Call him "Chancellor Overkill."
- So it's Ardyn.
- The Chancellor is running some circus.
- I can't figure out what Ardyn is up to for the life of me.
- He has all this power at his fingertips, yet all he wants to do is mess with us?
- The chancellor has the empire in the palm of his hand.
- No idea what to make of him, not even sure it was him on the train.
- Whether acting as friend or foe, he plans a way forward for us.
- If the train attack was his handiwork, I fear for what may become of Prompto.
- Me too.
- Strange, to commandeer an entire army, but elect not to bring its full power to bear.
- Perhaps I'm fortunate I can't see what 's become of the once-beautiful manor.
- I can only imagine the grief of the people, who did nothing to deserve this.
- CHAPTER 12
- Hmph, seems I've gotten cold feet.
- Ravishing as the day you died.
- ...Where've you been hiding all this time?
- Good show, Noctis!
- I feel I've earned the right to call you "Noct."
- For a moment I felt death's chill wind, such is the might of the gods.
- But then I remembered I'm immortal, such is my blessing and curse.
- Oh, but the pain was very real.
- You've wounded me, "Noct."
- Showing off our toys?
- Look what I found!
- ALT: But I'm not bitter, look what I found.
- Ah, but of course you're more concerned about WHO I found. Hm?
- Ah-ah-aaah! You mustn't take what's not yours.
- Where is he?
- "He"?
- The little gunman's a short shot away.
- Where? Where else but Gralea? Your last stop.
- I'm sure he'd be delighted to see you. And you might even find your crystal!
- With all these daemons about, you could certainly use it.
- Gods help you, "Noct."
- Your friends's lives are on thin ice.
- I think they're out cold!
- This is no time for the cold shoulder.
- Get away from them!
- He who hesitates is lost.
- Is a door all it takes to stop you?
- Hmph, seems I've gotten cold feet.
- Ravishing as the day you died.
- ...Where've you been hiding all this time?
- Ignis, Gladio─wake up!
- What happened to him?
- Frozen.
- What was that?
- Ardyn. Falling to pieces.
- CHAPTER 13
- A friend in need is a friend indeed.
- Far as she'll go.
- ALT: That all she wrote?
- Far enough.
- ALT: It'll do. She saved our lives.
- There's nothing you could've done to save her.
- Guess not.
- Was a good ride.
- Hate to just leave her here.
- She's in no shape to move?
- We'll come back for her.
- And on we walk.
- Slowly but surely.
- Noctis... I have waited...
- Ravus!?
- Good...You saw her.
- Beware...Ardyn...
- Blood of the Oracle...I bear you this.
- The sword...of Regis.
- So you had it.
- What did they do to you?
- My king, my calling is done.
- Before naught remains...of my flesh...
- What?
- Take mercy...upon my soul.
- Reclaim the godstone, and deliver us from darkness.
- I will.
- The most fascinating tidbit about your dear Prompto...
- Despite all appearances to the contrary, he's acutally a native of Niflheim! Who'd have guessed!
- Shit shit shit.
- ALT: I'm done for.
- To liven things up, I thought I'd take you on a stroll down memory lane.
- Of course, memories decay with time.
- Sadly, the sister went off into the deep, but I've brought the brother back as best I can.
- Don't be shy, you're hardly strangers.
- No...that can't be him.
- Wait a sec.
- What do you mean "him"?
- Who are you seeing?
- Ravus.
- Unbelievable.
- I wanted to finish it between us, but not like this.
- He was a person...
- Made into a daemon.
- But is it truly the work of imperial science?
- Show me.
- The light...
- My arm... How!?
- I was...unworthy.
- Must see to...the Oracle's calling!
- Death!
- O, King!
- Deliver...me!
- Regis!
- Noctis!
- Show yourself to me, O King!
- Let it be done...now!
- Yes... End this pain!
- Ardyn! Curse you...
- Who... Who are you!?
- At last...free of flesh.
- Hear me, my king.
- Answer...your...calling.
- Shine your light unto the world.
- And banish the darkness.
- Allow me to regale you with a tale.
- In an age long past, an incurable scourge ravaged mankind.
- Invisible to the naked eye, it twisted men into monsters, the likes of which you've seen.
- In Lucis, there lived a savior who could cure the afflicted.
- The crystal had yet chosen no king, and only the savior could grant the people succor.
- His body would come to host myriad daemons, that countless lives be spared.
- Yet for this he was persecuted─by the Lucian king.
- Noct, killing you as a mortal will bring me scant satisfaction.
- Claim the crystal's power. Arise as its champion!
- Only once the crystal and king are no more can I know redemption.
- Come back soon.
- I shall keep your friends company until you are ready.
- The King’s Light is yet faint.
- When it shines the equal of the Stone, I, Bahamut, shall pledge my blade unto him.
- Enter now into Reflection.
- Gather unto the ring the Light that will purge the scourge of the stars.
- When the time is come, the Usurper shall know defeat at the hands of kings true.
- The Chosen shall embody the Stone, the mortal will...returned to naught.
- Returned to naught? I just...fade away?
- (My life for the power to save the world...)
- I'll do it.
- I'm not ready.
- Wait, no! Lemme outta here!
- The Light waxes full, O King.
- Go forth to the throne and cast out the darkness, that the Stone's Light may reign.
- CHAPTER 14
- Enough playing around!
- Chosen, indeed!
- Chosen to die.
- You make my blood boil!
- Oh!
- That could have been...unpleasant.
- Is that really the best you can do?
- Perhaps it's time you threw yourself on my mercy.
- It's futile, you know!
- Let it be done, until only one remains.
- Time I taught you some manners, boy!
- Let the games...begin.
- No. Now they end.
- The ten years you spent accumulating your power...
- ...I spent assimilating daemons and accumulating mine.
- It is from my body the daemon spawn begin.
- Thence they go and make daemons of men.
- Ah, to see the hollow shell of a king... ...with no one to protect.
- Well, let's have it, then.
- You and your Crystal...
- ...against all I have become.
- For who's sake?
- You won't be around to see it.
- A war...of attrition, then.
- The Crystal uses you. Drains you of life.
- It plays you all for fools.
- You should all thank me.
- In the dark, you would know peace.
- You claim to know me.
- You fancy yourself benevolent and worthy...
- When your beloved died...
- ...you lay watching, powerless to stop it!
- And now you dare speak down to me?
- You are strong, I admit it.
- I may not last much longer.
- Curse you kings and your iniquitous Crystal!
- Vengeance was to at last be mine!
- If not for you.
- I hate you with all my being!
- Quite a son we raised, eh Aulea?
- I think it is long time we rested.
- FLASHBACKS
- Ah, the young prince is recovering well.
- Who...?
- Gentiana, a Messenger.
- The prince has read of our kind?
- Oh! I tried to, but I only know what Luna told me.
- Lady Lunafreya.
- Yeah, Lunarffr...Luna.
- It is heartening to see the future King and the Oracle enjoy such familiarity.
- The fate of our world may depend on it.
- Prince Noctis.
- It's open!
- Uh, come in.
- How are you feeling today?
- Gentiana?
- Merely...well-wishing.
- Ah, how thoughtful of you.
- So, did she frighten you?
- Maybe...just a little. She's gone.
- An old trick of hers. Here one minute, gone the next.
- She gives me the creeps.
- Funny you should say that: even my brother grows timid around Gentiana.
- Even Ravus?
- Yes, but you've nothing to fear. The Messengers have our best interests at heart. In time, you will see.
- ...If you say so.
- EPISODE GLADIOLUS
- Are you one of the former Shields of the King?
- One of the first, tasked with defending the Founder King from his brother.
- From his own brother?
- Rather, what remained of him. What the general and I saw was a man-turned-monster.
- What twisted him we cannot know, but the king lost a staunch ally that day and gained a mortal enemy.
- The general feared this was a harbinger of horrors to come.
- Thus, he sealed his soul within these walls, that another Shield should one day seek his counsel.
- The general has but a sole desire: to entrust his power to one who vows to defend the king.
- Yet simply swearing allegiance does not suffice.
- His power is likewise a privilege, and longing alone does not afford one this right: it must be earned.
- Surely you understand what is sought in his successor...
- If you do not, peer deep into your soul.
- EPISODE IGNIS
- I see my suspicions were correct.
- Bravo.
- But why have you aligned yourself with the darkness?
- I like to think the darkness has aligned itself with me.
- After all, we share a mutual odium of those thrust into the light and beloved by all, hailed by the masses as their "chosen savior." And what is your aim?
- Why, to bring the King to his senses.
- With your sister's help, of course.
- The forces assaulting the altar have withdrawn on Ravus's orders.
- Take down the imperial forces in the city center,
- or head straight to the altar to save Noctis.
- No place for the meek.
- You might be of use after all.
- Off with its head!
- Body blows will yield little.
- Strike low!
- Take out the missile pods.
- Knock the generator out.
- Set your sights on the light.
- Hit it!
- The core will explode!
- Take cover!
- Sacrifice my memories
- EPILOGUE - Words
- EPILOGUE - Goodbyes
- To be continued...
- SOME OF CONVERSATION UNUSED + CUT
- Well, about time we found a place to hole up.
- Oh yeah, we better. Wouldn't want Ignis to feel "unkempt."
- You take pride in your poor hygiene?
- Couldn't sleep at all last night, but then I had the weirdest dream.
- Never knew you to be a dreamer.
- Always wake up before I can remember anything.
- What I wouldn't give for that.
- You are a pretty deep sleeper...like under the ground deep.
- Never heard you sneeze before.
- I take that as a compliment.
- I suppose you would.
- He's green behind the ears, thinks the world revolves around him.
- //updated 150108
- Indeed.
- He's still a good kid.
- You neglected to mention finicky, awkward, and recalcitrant.
- Little harsh.
- Not if he is to be king.
- You miss home?
- Nope, can't say that I do.
- What about you?
- //updated 150108
- I like it out here.
- You don't have to worry about acting like a prince.
- Your Highness acting unprincely!? Perish the thought!

- //updated 150108
- You're acting like an idiot.
- //updated 150108
- You should try it sometime. Once you're married, it is game over, buddy.
- Game's already over, far as I'm concerned.
- It ain't over 'til it's over!
- //updated 150108
- Take a load off. There's nothing you can do.
- //updated 150108
- Is this Afrojack!?
- Turn Up the Speakers!
- Shall I leave this on?
- Hell yeah.
- Bet you're feelin' the need for speed.
- Like I've got The Spark.
- Then what're you waiting for?
- Rev it up!
- He's Unstoppable.
- Who is?
- Afrojack.
- Who else?
- Yeah, this beat is Dynamite!
- You got that right.
- Think he'll be on again?
- You can count on it.
- Gotta say, I had no idea he was popular outside the city.
- Hardly surprising.
- His is an appeal that transcends borders.
