A few pieces:
Marlene at Aerith’s house
Marlene: 'Guess what? Aerith was asking me lots of questions. Like what kind of person Cloud is. I bet she likes you.'
Kotch tied up in Corneo's basement
Kotch: 'Hey, you’re not them…you’re…please help me.'
(Help him)
Kotch: 'Thanks. You know what? After you left, some Shinra guys forced themselves in here saying things like ‘information leaked’ and ‘good for nothing’. They took the Don somewhere and that’s it…I’m still here. Oops, they’re here again. I’m outta here. See ya.'
Tifa’s father
Man: 'You’re from Shinra, right?'
Cloud: 'Yeah.'
Man: 'Geez, big-headed young kid.'
(or)
Man: 'You’re from Shinra, right?'
Cloud: 'Who are you?'
Man: 'I’m the town’s…Hey…aren’t you Cloud?'
Cloud: 'Do I know you?'
Man: 'Don’t you remember me?'
Cloud: 'You…you’re Tifa’s father.'
Man: 'That’s right. And I want you to stay away from my daughter. We don’t need Shinra’s help to protect our town.'
Gramps at Nibelheim Inn
Cloud: 'What’s the situation with the town?'
Gramps: 'A lot of monsters have been appearing in the last 12 months. Other than that, there’s not much change. Nothing much exciting happens in a little town like this. It was alright when they were building the Reactor…while they were still building it. But, since it’s been completed, it’s been bad. Within a few years, all the trees on the mountain withered away. I don’t know if the Reactor was good or bad…I mean, it’s easy to say that now, but what can you do about it? Anyway, we have to get rid of the monsters. Then, we’ll all be able to relax a bit.'
Letter to Tifa from son of General Store manager
Tifa, how are you?
I just arrived in Midgar eight days go. Yesterday, all of Nibelheim got together to welcome me. The only person that we couldn’t get a hold of was Cloud. But everyone said he wasn’t really that close to us. So even if we asked, he probably wouldn’t have come anyway. Well, enough about him.
Midgar is really something. But to tell the truth, I feel so behind on everything…so out of it. Even the rooms of people in the slums are clean. Right now I’m living in the Slums, but I plan to move to a really nice room like the ones I’ve seen in magazines once I get some money. But, to do that, I guess I have to find a job first.
That’s right, I still haven’t found a job yet. I lied to my parents and told them I found a great job with Shinra Inc. I wonder if it’s too late to go back. Sometimes I think I should have taken over my parents’ store. I just made it here to Midgar, but all I think about is Nibelheim. Hey, Tifa, is that stupid old water tower still working? Is the old man at the Inn doing well? Are my parents still at the shop everyday? Have any monsters attacked? And most of all…how are you, Tifa?
It feels like I haven’t seen you for years. We were all talking about you last night. Everyone likes you. But because everyone idolizes you, I couldn’t very well stab them in the back. I always acted cool, but actually, I was just afraid of being jilted. Wow, if I keep writing like this, this’ll become a love letter. So, I think I’ll stop here. Take care. I’ll write again.
P.S. Write me back, okay?
Sephiroth in Reactor
Sephiroth: ‘This is a system for condensing and cooling Mako energy. At least, it’s supposed to be.'
…
Sephiroth: ‘Ordinarily, yes. But Hojo put something else in here. Take a look.’
Cloud: ‘What is this?’
Sephiroth: ‘Standard members of SOLDIER, like you, are humans who have been exposed to Mako. You may be different from civilians, but you’re still human.’
Cloud: ‘But what’s with these guys?’
Sephiroth: ‘They’ve been exposed to extreme levels of Mako…nothing like the dosage that was done to you.’
Cloud: ‘So they’re monsters?’
Men in Kalm bar
Man 1: 'My old man was a miner, but he couldn’t go to work after the monsters started appearing in the Mythril Mine.'
Man 2: 'Me? I used to work in a coal mine down south called Mythril Mine. After the monsters started appearing, the business went to pot.'
Full Yuffie scenario
(incorrect choices speech in yellow)
*Lying on her back*
Yuffie: ‘Man, I can’t believe I lost…’ (Jumps up) ‘You spiky-headed jerk. One more time…let’s go one more time.’
Cloud: ‘Alright.’
Yuffie: ‘I won’t lose this time. Take your time and get ready. Holler when you’re ready.’
Cloud: ‘Not interested.’
Yuffie: ‘Thinkin’ of running away? Stay and fight!’ (shakes guard arm) ‘Fight, I said. C’mon…what’s the matter? You’re pretty scared of me, huh?’
Cloud: ‘You’re gonna lose again.’
Yuffie: ‘Wh…what? Now I’m really mad. Make fun of me, will ya? Just watch'
Cloud: ‘…petrified.’
Yuffie: (laughs) ‘Just as I thought. What do you expect with my skills? Good luck to you guys too. If you feel up to it, we can go another round. Later! I’m really gonna leave. Really.’
Cloud: ‘Go ahead.’
Yuffie: ‘Oh yeah? Then do whatever you want.’
Cloud: ‘Wait a second!’
Yuffie: ‘What is it? You still have somethin’ for me?’ So is that it? I know you want my help because I’m so good. You want me to go with you?’
Cloud: ‘You kiddin’?’
Yuffie: ‘Oh yeah? Then do whatever you want!’
Cloud; ‘…that’s right.’
Yuffie: ‘Heh heh…thought so. You put me in a spot. What should I do? But if you want me that bad, I can’t refuse. Alright, I’ll go with you.’
Cloud: ‘What’s your name?’
(Yuffie disappears, stealing gil)
Cloud: ‘Let’s hurry on.’ (walk off)
Yuffie: ‘Huh? Hey wait. I’m Yuffie. Good to meetcha. Heh…just as I planned. Now all I have to do is…a little this…and a little that…hey wait for me. Here, I’ll give you back the money I stole from you.'
(If at any point you choose the wrong option, this dialogue appears:
Barret: ‘She’s gone. So what was all that about?’
People of Gongaga
1: ‘No matter how much I pray, it won’t bring our grandson back. Three years ago when the Reactor exploded, my husband…Do people really need Reactors to live? Aren’t there more important things in life? People can live without the Shinra’s Mako reactors.’
2: ‘Shinra built the Reactor, without even thinking about the town’s safety. And, this is the result. One day, there was a huge explosion. many townspeople died in it. It’s been a while since the explosion, but you can still find pieces of it left all over town.’
3: ‘This is Gongaga village. Many people died here in a Mako Reactor explosion. The Shinra people told us that everyone would be happy once the Reactor was built. But, all it brought us was sadness…’
Zack's parents with Aerith and Tifa in party
Man: ‘You a traveler? Hey, wait, that glare in your eye…you in SOLDIER?’
Woman: ‘Oh, you’re right. Don’t you know anything about our son?’
Man: ‘His name is Zack.’
Woman: ‘It’s been close to ten years since he left for the city, saying that he didn’t want to live in the country…’
Man: ‘He left saying he’s going to join SOLDIER. You ever heard of a Zack in SOLDIER?’
Cloud: ‘Hmmm’ (frowns and thinks) ‘…I don’t know’
Aerith: ‘Zack…’
Man: ‘Young lady, do you know him?’
Woman: ‘I remember he wrote to us six or seven years ago saying that he had a girlfriend. Could that have been you?’ (Cloud turns to look at her and she quickly shakes her head)
Aerith: ‘That can’t…’ (leaves)
Tifa: ‘Zack…’ (leaves)
Cloud: ‘What happened to you two?’
Man: ‘Have you ever met someone in SOLDIER named Zack?’
Woman: ‘I can’t believe he hasn’t contacted us in ten years. After all, we’re his parents.’
Zack’s Letter
(translated from hidden files - apologies but I've forgotten who translated it)
To Dad and Mom,
How are you?
I'm sorry for suddenly rushing out of the village. The truth is that I really wanted to become a SOLDIER. I thought that saying that would worry you...I'll work hard as a SOLDIER.
P.S. I've managed to get a girlfriend.
JUST AS A TOTAL SIDE NOTE...
Has anyone ever wondered why President Shinra uses the phrase 'you must be the one who quit SOLDIER and joined AVALANCHE'? It's quite clearly wrong as Cloud was never in SOLDIER. Pisses me off every time.
