Primus Island

• Materia: From memory comes great power—the power to protect entire worlds...
• Materia: With this power and you, Mog, we can...we should be able to save this world.
• Mog: You can count on me, kupo!
• Mog: I shall lead our heroes to the Torsions' epicenter!
• Mog: Together we will eradicate the threat and bring whoever is responsible for this madness to justice!
• Materia: It will not be nearly so easy as you think.
• Materia: The heroes you speak of are scattered across realms, each looking to fulfill their own destinies.
• Mog: Don't you worry, kupo! I've got it covered!
• Mog: I've already found four warriors willing to fight for our cause.
• Materia: I see them now. The mighty Warrior of Light...
• Materia: A young boy who harbors tremendous magical powers...
• Materia: A man whose love for his family surpasses all...
• Materia: And a young girl who has grown into herself during a time of war...
• Mog: And that makes four, kupo!
• Materia: Indeed. It seems you are more than equal to the task.
• Materia: Time, however, is not on your side.
• Materia: Even as we speak, the Torsions continue to spread and evolve at an unprecedented rate.
• Mog: Which is precisely why I must leave soon, kupo! Before I go, though, I have one question. What of Master Spiritus?
• Materia: What of him?
• Mog: You know he is plotting something, kupo! Should we not move to stop him?
• Mog: Or do you not trust me enough to tell me, kupo...?
• Materia: He and I... We are as day and night—eternally divorced.
• Materia: But he is none of your concern.
• Mog: What if our methods of dealing with this issue were to collide with his plans?
• Materia: I trust that your warriors will find a way to overcome any problems that may arise.
• Materia: They will be guided by the light after all.
• Mog: ...Very well, kupo.
• Mog: Now I really must get going. Already another Torsion has opened!
• Materia: Go forth, and see that the world is not met with destruction.
• Mog: Leave it to me, kupo!
• Materia: These Torsions destroy even the cycle of battle.
• Materia: I only hope that it is not too late.
• Materia: If the world were to fall to ruin, it would mean I have failed as protector and god...

• Garland: Pathetic.
• Warrior of Light: Nnh...!
• Garland: With you out of the way, the light shall soon succumb to darkness! Then there will be no stopping me!
• Garland: Now begone from this world!
  

(Garland slays the Warrior of Light)

• Rem: Are you all right?

(The Warrior of Light awakens with Rem, Vivi and Mog by his side)

• Warrior of Light: Where...am I?
• Vivi: M-monsters! Over there!

• Warrior of Light: A Goblin? Allow me to handle this.
• Mog: Kupo! Then allow me to teach you how to fight!
  

(Tutorial: BRV Attacks, HP Attacks, BRV Breaks, Final Blow)

• Mog: Kupo!? More enemies!?
• Vivi: L-let us help!
• Warrior of Light: Thank you.
  

(Tutorial: Switching Targets)

• Mog: That Goblin doesn't have much bravery. You might be able to inflict a BRV Break, kupo!

• Mog: To think that you were able to take on such fearsome beasts and live to tell the tale... You're incredible, kupo!
• Rem: Sir, are you all right? Earlier you seemed—
• Warrior of Light: I'm fine. Thank you... Rem, was it?
• Rem: Yes. And this is—
• Vivi: Vivi. I am Vivi.
• Vivi: Mog found and rescued me when I was first transported to this world.
• Warrior of Light: So you, too, are warriors possessed of the light, brought here for some explicit purpose?
• Mog: That's correct, kupo!
• Mog: Lately, Torsions have been threatening the safety of our world. You're our last hope of finding and closing them, kupo!
• Vivi: The monsters appeared from one of these Torsions, didn't they?
• Rem: And we're the only ones who can seal them?
• Rem: I feel that's far beyond our capabilities.
• Mog: You can do it, kupo! Have a little faith.
• Mog: There's a small Torsion nearby. Let's make our way there and seal it off, kupo.
• Vivi: Okay!
• Mog: I'll assist you in any way I can, kupo.
• Warrior of Light: Very good. We shall be counting on your support, then.

• Mog: The knock back icon is your chance to perform a chain attack, kupo!

(Tutorial: Knock Backs)

• Mog: Oh no! A Flan, kupo! Good thing it's weak to Vivi's Fire spell!
• Vivi: F-Fire? Okay, I'll give it a try!
  

(Tutorial: Vivi uses Fire to BRV Break the Flan)

• Mog: Good job! Keep it up, kupo!

• Mog: It's an Iron Giant, kupo! One strike from that thing can be trouble!
• Mog: Use Shining Shield to protect Vivi, kupo!

• Mog: Look! We closed it, kupo!
• Vivi: Now we don't need to worry about those monsters anymore.
• Rem: No, Vivi. You forget that there's more than one Torsion.
• Mog: Indeed, kupo! They've been cropping up all across the land.
• Warrior of Light: And it is our duty to ensure that each and every one of them is closed.
• Mog: You won't be alone! We'll find more people along the way who can help us, kupo!
• ???: Hey!
• Warrior of Light: Is that man a friend of yours?
• Vivi: Mister! We're over here!
• ???: Sorry 'bout that! Was busy inspecting the area.
• Mog: Did you find anything, kupo?
• Sazh: Yeah. There's a big Torsion up ahead. Bet that's where all the monsters are coming from.
• Mog: Kupopo! We only just closed one and you're telling me there's another, bigger one nearby!?
• Mog: Good grief, kupo... Well, I suppose it's nothing we can't handle together!
• Rem: Once we eradicate all the Torsions, will we be able to return to our respective worlds?
• Vivi: Yes, I'm certain of it! That's why we have to do our best to help them!
• Mog: That's the spirit, kupo! Now that Sazh is back, we can go and close the next Torsion!
• Warrior of Light: When this is all over...
• Warrior of Light: I wonder if there will even be a world left for me to return to...
• ???: Filthy rats.
• ???: Little do they know, should all go according to plan, soon they'll be dancing to the beat of my drum.
• ???: Oh, what a spectacular show it will be!

• Mog: Red Bats are pesky creatures that use Flap to dodge your attacks!
• Mog: But Sazh's ability Aim will hit the enemy every time, kupo!

• Mog: Kupo... Skeletons unleash a frightening attack after using Brace.
• Mog: But inflicting a BRV Break will smash it into pieces, leaving it vulnerable for a few turns!

• Sazh: Nasty bats nearly had us back there. Dodge every attack you throw at 'em.
• Mog: That's why we need as many allies as possible, kupo!
• Vivi: Look—there's someone over there!
• ???: Who's there!?
• Mog: P-please, kupo! Lower your fists! We mean you no harm!
• ???: ...You don't appear to be dangerous.
• Sazh: We're not, but I wouldn't blame you if you turned and ran the other way. Just look at us—a talking moogle, a knight...
• ???: You, on the other hand, seem fairly...normal. What is this place?
• Warrior of Light: While I cannot answer that with any certainty, what I can tell you is that none of us are natives of this land.
• ???: You mean...this isn't my world?
• Sazh: No, it isn't. It's dangerous for a little lady like you to be wandering this place alone.
• ???: I'm not alone. My friends are here, too. We got separated earlier.
• ???: I've been searching for them, but I keep running into monsters.
• Mog: Kupo... Up until recently, our land was a peaceful one.
• Mog: It was only after the Torsions started to appear that the beasts began terrorizing us.
• Mog: But I have hope that tranquility will soon be restored by the light, kupo!
• Warrior of Light: Perhaps she too possesses the light.
• ???: ...I do?
• Mog: Yes! Yes, indeed, kupo!
• Vivi: Maybe you can join us, miss?
• ???: Hm... Yes, maybe I should.
• ???: Perhaps then I'll finally be able to find my friends.
• Tifa: I'm Tifa. I look forward to working with you.
• Mog: Welcome aboard, kupo! You look like you can take out more than a few skeletons with those fists!
• Mog: This is fantastic, kupo! Once again our numbers have grown and soon we'll be closing Torsions faster than ever before!

• Warrior of Light: Caution, friends. Someone is nearby.
• Tifa: Wait! That's...
• Tifa: Cloud!
• Cloud: Tifa?
• Tifa: Thank goodness it's you! I've been looking all over for you!
• Mog: You know him, kupo?
• Mog: Well, that makes my job easier! Hello, Mr. Spiky-Head!
• Cloud: A moogle that can talk?
• Tifa: Well, the world we're in right now is—
• Warrior of Light: Now is not the time. It seems we have company.
• Cloud: Stand back. I've got this.
• Tifa: Cloud! You're not alone anymore! Let us help you.
• Mog: Why won't anyone listen to me, kupo?

• Warrior of Light: You were quick to defeat those enemies. I'm impressed.
• Tifa: Cloud, what you're doing is reckless!
• Tifa: You don't know anything about this world...so let's stick together, okay?
• Mog: She's right, kupo! Besides, you possess the will of the light. We can save this world together.
• Cloud: Not interested.
• Mog: Kupo!?
• Sazh: Looks like other worlds also have their fair share of strongheaded soldiers who take on way too much alone.
• Sazh: Cloud, was it? What's your game plan?
• Cloud: There's someone I need to settle things with.
• Sazh: And do you have any idea where this someone is? Sure you don't need any help?
• Sazh: This moogle's the only one who knows anything about this world. Besides, what've you gotta lose?
• Cloud: Maybe you're right.
• Cloud: All right, I'll go with you. Just don't get in my way.
• Sazh: We won't. We're on your side.
• Mog: Then it's settled! Great having you aboard, kupo!
• Tifa: Looks like it's you and me again!
• Mog: The more the merrier! You can never have too many friends, kupo!

• ???: *Sigh* Is there no end to this place?
• ???: Why me? Why do bad things always happen to me?
• Sazh: Huh? Is that...!?
• ???: Wait. Is that an exit over there?
• Mog: Do you know him, kupo?
• Sazh: Do I know him? He's one of my buddies from my world!
• Mog: Kupopo! I sensed a strong will of the light from him!
• Sazh: But he's still just a kid, you know? I mean, he's older than Vivi...
• Vivi: You're really worried about him, aren't you?
• Sazh: Yeah, I have a son of my own, so I can't just... Sorry, this isn't the time to be getting sentimental.
• Warrior of Light: Getting out of here alone is not a simple task. We must find him quickly.
• Mog: Let's help him and get him to join us, kupo!

• Sazh: Hope!
• Hope: Sazh!
• Hope: Where are we? And who are they? And why are they—
• Sazh: Relax, relax. They may look a little different, but they're on our side.
• Mog: Your name's Hope, kupo?
• Hope: Did that moogle just talk? This is some kind of ultra-realistic toy...right?
• Mog: I'm not a toy, kupo! More importantly, I have something I need to tell you!
• Mog: ...And that's the situation we're in right now, kupo.
• Warrior of Light: And you, Hope, also possess the will of the light. You are one of us.
• Hope: The will of the light? M-me? Are you sure?
• Mog: I'm positive, kupo! Trust me.
• Sazh: At any rate, we gotta do something about this world if we ever plan on going back to our own.
• Sazh: So come with us. It's safer that way, you know?
• Sazh: Besides, you'd be doing us a favor! We could use your skills.
• Hope: All right, I'm in.
• Hope: I'll do what I can to help.

• Mog: Hello, kupo! What are you doing?
• ???: ...A moogle? Your kind do not live in the neighboring regions, do they?
• Mog: No. Why, kupo?
• ???: Good.
• ???: This forest's aether is corrupted. I can only hope that the taint has not spread much further beyond this area.
• Mog: Corrupted aether...? Oh, because of the Torsions! That's where the dark energy is spilling from. We're here to close them!
• ???: Torsions?
• Mog: Yes, they serve as an interdimensional portal to our world. That's where the dark energy and scary monsters are coming from, kupo.
• ???: That would explain the sinister presence I felt earlier.
• Mog: The will of the light radiates strongly from you. Will you help us, kupo?
• ???: Hm... Working with a group would certainly facilitate my investigation.
• Mog: Hooray, ku—!
• ???: I am afraid, however, that I must decline. There is another matter I must attend to first.
• Mog: What if we can help you? Would you join us then?
• ???: Perhaps. But before we discuss this any further, I ask that you draw your swords.
• ???: It seems we've been joined by a few uninvited guests.

• Mog: A-are they gone, kupo?
• ???: I believe so. I can no longer feel their presence.
• Mog: Good! So what do you say? Will you join us, kupo?
• ???: Having witnessed your incredible strength first-hand, I would be honored to call you allies.
• ???: Please allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Y'shtola.
• Y'shtola: I am well versed in the art of Conjury, and believe my talents will serve you well.
• Mog: How exciting, kupo! Another friend possessed of the light has agreed to lend a hand to our cause!
• Y'shtola: I take it that having this light is essential to one's ability to close Torsions?
• Mog: That's right, kupo! ...But I don't know how it works...
• Y'shtola: Fascinating... Perhaps there is more to this world than meets the eye.

• Rem: I have a bad feeling about this. The monsters in this area are acting very strangely.
• Mog: That means there's a Torsion nearby, kupo!
• Warrior of Light: Yes. I can feel it...and something else.
• Warrior of Light: Everyone, be on your guard. There is something far more malevolent than mere monsters lurking about.
• Vivi: M-more malevolent than monsters!? I don't like the sound of that...
• Vivi: Wait! Please don't leave me behind!
• ???: Ah... There you are.
• ???: *Sigh*
• ???: Why must you insist on always ruining my fun?

• Mog: That was a close one, kupo! Counter with a summon!

(Tutorial: Summons)

• Cloud: Is that it?
• Sazh: And more importantly did getting rid of it solve our monster problem?
• Tifa: I think so. Their numbers seem to have diminished at the very least.
• Y'shtola: You must remember, however, that this is not the only Torsion that plagues this world.
• Mog: Indeed, kupo! Our job is far from over.
• Mog: But if we continue working together I'm sure we'll accomplish our goal in no time!
• Tifa: Then let's keep going.
• Mog: Yes, kupo! Our next destination: the lands beyond the northern sea!
• Mog: And before you ask how we're going to get there, we'll be going by airship, kupo!
• Sazh: Airship? Excellent. That's just my style.
• Cloud: Are you a pilot or something?
• Hope: Only the best! How could you tell?
• Cloud: I have a friend a lot like him.
• Sazh: Let's go! I can't wait to see how this baby flies!
