"The best ways don't always lead to the best results."

"Miserable people forced to live false lives. Always being used by someone... Try hard and you'll be rewarded they say. Lies... Only those close to the top are rewarded without trying. It's the way of the world. Most people have to act the roles given to them... Then again, most of them haven't even noticed they're even acting."

"Our reasons may be different, but we want the same thing. As long as we want the same thing... we won't be enemies."

"Prince or Princess... It doesn't matter as long as they are easily controlled."

"This 'order' you talk about is just a matter of your own convenience!! Using God as an 'order' to control the people is absurd! You have no right to take advantage of the innocent!!"

"You understand, your death won't be waste."

"Even Princesses can die for getting in the way! That's what 'royal blood' is about!"

"Dirty!? There is no 'dirty' when it comes to money. I'm a mercenary. I have to finish the jobs I take. That's called being a pro!"

"People die all the time without you knowing about it! That's reality! You think you can stop something you know nothing about?"

"No 'buts'! You're just a child who doesn't want to face reality! If you don't like it, try living without depending on someone else for a change! But don't come complaining to me if you can't!"

"So that's that? The more I know, the worse you appear."

"'Careful' is more like it. You've got to be careful to survive on a battlefield."

"You must make 'sacrifices' to accomplish anything! Without 'sacrifice' there's no progress, nor history! Look at Ivalice! Corrupt! Someone must change it! Your brothers are trying to do that! Even if it means 'wrong doing'!"

"I don't want to change the world! I just can't allow people to suffer and die because of some elitist's ideas. Change the world? You think anyone really can? I'm not that reckless!!"

"It's because I'm a Beoulve that I don't obey them! The name shouldn't be used for self-gain, but rather for divine 'justice'!"

"Your ideals and actions inspired your people and stirred up the old Noble customs! Your actions have meaning only if they hold true to your ideals..."

"I'm not fighting for thanks. I'm fighting for honor and pride as a Beoulve."

"You don't know the truth! You don't realize you're just pathetic puppets, dancing for the bad guys!!"

"This is the end of the Beoulve's... Names don't matter... What's important is how you live your life."

"You'd sink that low just to live? What a pity!!"

"I wouldn't call selling your soul to the devil, 'human!'"

"How valuable is a 'freedom' you didn't earn yourself? The moment 'pride' is lost, 'freedom' is also lost...!! You lost your freedom when you lost your pride and confidence...!! 'Equality's not something you're given! It's something you fight for!!"

"What do you think you weak humans can do?"

"Don't underestimate us. Killing you is easy..."

"A coffin... just the thing for you. Rest in peace."


Whitman

"I want to be a Calculator! Let's see, what's 5 times 7...?"


Wiegraf Folles

"We must make it so our children don't have to go through what we did. A small stone may only make a small ripple at first, but someday it will be a wave. Even if we have to rust away here!"

"You still don't understand why we won't surrender! What good is talking anyway? Could you make something happen even if you wanted to? You couldn't, could you?"

"You don't understand how hard it is to fulfill your ideal. Even if your ideal is great, it's just a dream if you can't fulfill it! So how can you fulfill it? You need power! That's the politics of the world! I can see it clearly now! You can't fulfill your dreams without power! You say I'm a dog of the church! Go ahead!! I don't care! You can despise me, but I'll be laughing at the end. You'll all submit to me!"

"Governments falsify history only so it favors them. But you can't blame them. Because people always hope for a 'miracle'. Endlessly complaining, lazy, nuisances... that's what the masses really are. Governments give the people what they want... and history repeats itself. Governments might well have taken advantage of their insecurity... But then again, people are satisfied being used..."

"It's because humans are insecure that they rely on 'miracles'."

"I've cared about you being my half-brother but, after all bad blood is bad blood. Not suitable for a Beoulve!"


Zalmo Rusnada

"You 'heretics' don't fear God!! I'll fix you!"

"You audacious fool!! Your actions will disrupt the world order and oppose God's Natural Providence!! Are you trying to rebel against God!?"

"Oh, God... please punish the wicked."


Zell

"I'm quitting smoking tomorrow!"


Conversations:

1) Algus and Delita

Algus: "What rotten luck. Meeting monsters in a place like this."

Delita: "Don't gripe, Algus. It's better than guarding a castle."

Algus: "This is a matter of life and death. How can you say that?"


2) Algus and a Fencer

Algus: "Watch your language! Never talk to nobles like that!"

Fencer: "We're...not...thieves."

Algus: "What did you say!?"

Fencer: "...Nobles never change. You think we aren't human. We risk our lives in the War for this country... But you dumped us afterward. How are we different? Birth? Status? What the hell's rank?"


3) Algus and Miluda

Miluda: "Who do you think you are!? We're not animals! We're human, just like you! There's no difference among us other than our families! You ever been hungry? With only soup to eat for months? Why do we have to suffer? Because you nobles deprive us our right to live!"

Algus: "Human? Hmph, ridiculous! From the minute you were born you had to obey us! From the second you were born you were our animals!!"

Miluda: "Says who!? That's nonsense! Who decided all this?!"

Algus: "It's the Will of Heaven!"

Miluda: "Heaven? God would never say such things! In his eyes, all are equal! He'd never let this happen! Never!"

Algus: "Animals have no God!!"

Miluda: "!!!!"


4) Delita and Ovelia

Delita: "Human, just like you!"


5) Gaffgarion and Agrias

Gafgarion: "What's the use? I gave mine up long ago!"


6) Olan and Thief

Thief: "I don't know who you are. Too bad you stumbled on us."

Olan: "Next time put a sign outside saying 'Thieves' hideout'."


7) Rafa and Barinten

Barinten: "Fool! This is what I get? Revenge for kindness!? Why do you think you're even still alive today! Because of me! I took you out of the garbage! Or did you forget that already?"

Rafa: "Revenge for kindness? You burned the village! You are the one who killed my parents! And you say it's revenge for kindness? No...it's justice!"


8) Dycedarg and Zalbag

Dycedarg: "Fools! Why won't you obey? Why do you defy me? The powerful must rule the powerless ones! It's our duty! Even the once mighty Royal Family has fallen and lost their power! It's only natural for us to take their place! It's the right way to use our power!! Why can't you understand!?"

Zalbag: "Don't you have any 'justice', Brother!? The Beoulve name is only for the brave! You aren't worthy of it, Brother!"

Dycedarg: "'Justice'? I'm embarrassed to think you even said that! You think such pretty ideals can govern the people!? Why are you able to use that sword? Why do you think the people call you a hero? It's all because of me!! Because I dirtied my hands you're here! You should be thanking me, not despising me!!"


9) Ramza and Bar Master

Bar Master: "Welcome. Something to drink?"

Ramza: "Ok... milk please."
