Tidus
- Auron: [as Lady Yunalesca prepares to battle them] Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
- Kimahri: Yuna needs Kimahri. Kimahri protect Yuna.
- Rikku: Well, I'm fighting!
- Wakka: I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break!
- Lulu: You can always run.
- Wakka: Hah! I'd never forgive myself-no way! Not if I ran away now. Even in death, ya!
- Lulu: Hm. My thoughts exactly.
- Tidus: Yuna! This is our story! Now let's see this thing through together.
- Tidus: [voiceover] I thought about a lot of things, like where I was, what I'd gotten myself into. I started to feel light-headed, and then, sleepy. I think I had a dream - a dream of being alone. I wanted someone - anyone - beside me, so I wouldn't have to feel alone anymore.
- Maester Seymour Guado: [as Yuna's guardian's step forth] Ah, of course. "Protect the summoner, even at the cost of one's life." The Code of the Guardian. How admirable. Well, if you are offering your lives, I will have to take them.
- Yuna: Maester Seymour. I trust my guardians with my life, but they are also my friends. I will not stand by and watch them be hurt.
- [She brings out her staff]
- Yuna: I will fight you, too!
- Tidus: All right!
- Wakka: M-Maester Seymour!
- Maester Seymour Guado: So be it!
- Tidus: Wait. This is a dream?
- Fayth: Precisely.
- Tidus: A dream? Are you crazy? I don't have time to be dreaming now!
- Fayth: You're wrong. It's not that you're dreaming; you *are* a dream.
- Tidus: Huh? Wait a sec.
- Fayth: Long ago, there was a war.
- Tidus: Yeah, with machina, right?
- Fayth: Yes. A war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. Bevelle's machina assured their victory from the start. Spira had never seen such power. The summoners of Zanarkand didn't stand a chance. Zanarkand was doomed to oblivion. That's why we tried to save it - if only in a memory.
- Tidus: What did you do?
- Fayth: The remaining summoners and the townspeople that survived the war... They all became fayth - fayth for the summoning.
- Tidus: The summoning... you mean Sin.
- Fayth: No, I mean this place. A Zanarkand that never sleeps.
- Tidus: What?
- Fayth: The dreams of the fayth summoned the memories of the city. They summoned all the buildings, all the people that lived there.
- Tidus: The people... What, they're all dreams? Me, too?
- Fayth: Yes, you're a dream of the fayth. You, your father, your mother, everyone. All dreams. And if the fayth stop dreaming...
- Tidus: No! So what if I'm a dream? I... I like being here.
- Fayth: We've been dreaming so long... we're tired. Would you and your father... would you let us rest? Both you and your father have been touched by Sin. Sin, the one around whom all Spira - the spiral - revolves.
- Tidus: What are you saying?
- Fayth: You two are more than just dreams now. Just a little more, and maybe... Maybe you are the dream that will end our dreaming at last.
- [Tidus wakes up]
- Auron: [responding to Tidus' query about Jecht] It depends on what you mean by "alive". He is... no longer human. But then, I could feel something of Jecht there in that shell, didn't you? You must have felt him when you came into contact with Sin.
- Tidus: [realizing what Auron is saying] It can't be...
- Auron: It is. Sin is Jecht.
- [beat]
- Tidus: [unable to believe it] No! That's ridiculous! No way! I don't believe you!
- Auron: [unfazed] But it *is* the truth. You'll see for yourself. Come with me.
- Tidus: And if I say no?
- Auron: Every story must have an ending.
- Tidus: [irritated] I don't care about your stories!
- Auron: I see. Sorry you feel that way. Fine, then. Come or don't come. It's your decision.
- Tidus: [yells in frustration] What am I supposed to say? You tell me it's *my* decision! But I don't have a choice, do I? *You're* the only one who can tell me what's going on here, anyways! I have to go with you! I *have* to!
- Auron: Irritating, I know. Or are you afraid?
- Maester Seymour Guado: [appearing in front of Tidus and Rikku] Ah, the son of Jecht.
- Tidus: Rikku, run ahead and tell Auron!
- Rikku: You are not fighting him alone!
- Tidus: Just go! *Go!*
- Maester Seymour Guado: Now is your time to die. Prepare yourself, son of Jecht.
- Tidus: Not if I can help it!
- Kimahri Ronso: [approaching with the others] Save some for Kimahri!
- Maester Seymour Guado: [noticing Yuna] Ah, Lady Yuna. It is a pleasure.
- Lulu: Yuna!
- [Yuna gets ready to send Seymour to the Farplane]
- Maester Seymour Guado: A sending? So soon? Let me say something to the last Ronso before I leave. Your's was... truly a galant race. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One... after another...
- [Seymour laughs]
- Kimahri Ronso: [realizing what Seymour is saying] No...
- Yuna: Kimahri...
- Maester Seymour Guado: You could end the suffering of this poor Ronso.
- Yuna: I don't understand you!
- Maester Seymour Guado: Allow Kimahri to die and release him from his suffering. Spira, is consumed by the spiral of death. To destroy - to *heal* Spira - I will become Sin with your help Lady Yuna. Come, Lady Yuna.
- Auron: Don't listen to him!
- Maester Seymour Guado: [to Tidus] Once I become Sin, your father will be free again.
- Tidus: [frusturated] Ah, what do *you* know?
- [takes his sword and rushes towards Seymour]
- Maester Seymour Guado: Pitiful mortal...
- [the unsent Seymour begins transforming into Seymour Flux]
- Maester Seymour Guado: Your hope ends here! And your meaningless existence with it!
- [after defeating Seymour Flux]
- Tidus: [exhausted] And *stay* up there!
- [after defeating Seymour on Mt. Gagazet]
- Yuna: He will become Sin... with my help? With my help, Sir Jecht will be free once again once.
- Auron: Lies. Forget them.
- Yuna: You know something! Tell me!
- Tidus: Sin's... my old man.
- Wakka: [stunned] You hit your head?
- Tidus: My old man's Spira's suffering.
- Yuna: Even knowing... that Sin is your father... you know... I must...
- Tidus: Yeah... Let's go get him!
- Lulu: You would fight your own father?
- Tidus: No problem there...
- Wakka: Are you sure this isn't some toxin dream?
- [Tidus shakes his head]
- Wakka: That means... Chappu... I'll just pretend I heard nothing. I'm confused, ya? Why'd everything turn out like this?
- Auron: We'll find out soon once we reach Zanarkand.
- Tidus: Who is this Yu Yevon guy?
- Lulu: Lady Yunalesca also mentioned him.
- Rikku: Wait, gramps! Who's Yu Yevon?
- Maester Yo Mika: He who crafts the souls of the dead into unholy armor. An armor called Sin! Clad in it, Yu Yevon is invincible. And the only thing that could have pierced that armor, you have destroyed! Nothing can stop it now...
- [vanishes in a cloud of pyreflies]
- Wakka: [angrily] Bah! Disappear on us, will ya? Rotten son of a shoopuf!
- Lady Yunalesca: [after the group defeats Yunalesca] If I die, so does the Final Aeon. And with it, Spira's only hope.
- Tidus: Then we'll find Spira a new hope!
- Lady Yunalesca: Fool. There is no other way. Even if there was... even if you did destroy Sin... Yu Yevon the immortal would only create Sin anew.
- Tidus: [confused] Yu Yevon?
- Lady Yunalesca: Ah... Zaon... forgive me... Spira has been robbed of the light of hope; all that remains is sorrow.
- [Lady Yunalesca dies]
- Tidus: [as Jecht transforms into Braska's Final Aeon, possessed by Yu Yevon; draws sword] I promise this'll be quick! Hit me with all you got, Dad!
- Tidus: [about to fight Yu Yevon] Guys. This is the last time we fight together, okay?
- Wakka: Huh?
- Tidus: What I'm trying to say is... after we beat Yu Yevon... I'll disappear.
- Lulu: What are you talking about?
- Tidus: I'm saying goodbye!
- Rikku: Not now!
- Tidus: [brings out sword] I know it's selfish, but this is my story!
- Auron: [Maester Seymour finds the group, surrounded by bodyguards, one of them carrying Maester Kinoc's corpse]
- [shocked]
- Auron: Kinoc!
- Tidus: [to Seymour] Why, you - !
- Maester Seymour Guado: I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes, chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... now he has no worries, he has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber, all the pain of life is gently swept away. Ah, yes.
- [Seymour turns to Yuna]
- Maester Seymour Guado: So you see... if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end, don't you see? Do you not agree? That, Yuna, is why I need you. Come, Lady Yuna. Come with me to Zanarkand, the lost city of the dead. With death on our side, we will save Spira, and for this... I will take away from you your strength, Yuna, your life, and become the next Sin. I will *destroy* Spira! I will *save* it!
- Tidus: You're totally *nuts!*
