Inside Nibelheim Reactor:
(the rest)
Sephiroth
“This is the reason for the malfunction.
This part is broken.”
“{Cloud}, close the valve.”
Sephiroth
“Did you close the valve?”
Sephiroth
“Why did it break?”
Sephiroth
“……Now I see, Hojo.”
“But doing this will never
put you on the same level
as Professor Gast.”
Sephiroth
“This is a system that condenses and
freezes the Mako energy……
that is, when it's working correctly.”
“Now……what does Mako energy become
when it's further condensed?”
Sephiroth
“Right, normally.
But Hojo put something else in there.
……Take a look.”
Sephiroth
“Look through the window.”
Sephiroth
“Normal members of SOLDIER are humans
that have been showered with Mako.”
“You're different from the others
but still human.”
“But, what are they?
They've been exposed to a far
higher degree of Mako than you.”
Sephiroth
“Exactly.
And it's Hojo of Shinra
that produced these monsters.”
“Mutated living organisms produced
by Mako energy.
That's what these monsters
really are.”
Sephiroth
“No……”
Sephiroth
“……Was I?”
Sephiroth
“……Was I created this way, too?”
Sephiroth
“Am I the same as all these monsters?”
Sephiroth
“You saw it!
All of them……were humans……”
Sephiroth
“……Ever since I was small I've felt……”
“……that I was different from the others.
Special, in some way.”
Sephiroth
“But……
not like this……”
See the Crisis Core iteration of some of the script above in the video below, plus an added scene that begins at 2:20.
After 2:19 Sephiroth only has one more line though, which is at 5:02.
"Whether your words...are lies created to deceive me...or the truth, that I have sought all my life...it makes no difference. You will rot."
...
Sephiroth
“Mother, I'm here to see you.
Please, open this door.”
Shinra Mansion, Basement:
Sephiroth
“……An apparently dead organism
was found in a 2000 year old
geological stratum.”
Sephiroth
“Professor Gast named that organism, Jenova……”
Sephiroth
“X Year, X Month, X Day.
Jenova confirmed to be an Ancient……”
Sephiroth
“X Year, X Month, X Day.
Jenova Project approved.
The use of Mako Reactor 1 approved for use……”
Sephiroth
“My mother's name is Jenova……
Jenova Project……
Is this just a coincidence?”
Sephiroth
“Professor Gast……
Why didn't you tell me anything?
……Why did you die?”
Sephiroth
“Let me be alone.”
...
Sephiroth
“Ha, ha, ha……”
Sephiroth
“Who is it!?”
Sephiroth
“Hmph……traitor.”
Sephiroth
“You ignorant traitor.
I'll tell you.”
“This Planet originally belonged to the Cetra.
Cetra was an itinerant race.
They would migrate in,
settle the Planet, then move on……”
“At the end of their hard,
long journey, it was said
they would find the Promised Land
and supreme happiness.”
Sephiroth
“But, those who disliked journeying appeared.
They stopped their migrations,
built shelters and elected to
lead an easier life.”
“They took that which the Cetra
and the Planet had made without
giving back one whit in return!”
Sephiroth
“Those are your ancestors.”
Sephiroth
“Long ago, disaster struck the Planet.”
Sephiroth
“Your ancestors escaped……
They survived because they hid.”
Sephiroth
“The Planet was saved
by sacrificing the Cetra.
After that, your ancestors
continued to multiply.”
Sephiroth
“Now all that's left of the Cetra
is in these reports.”
Sephiroth
“Don't you see?”
Sephiroth
“An Ancient named Jenova was found in
a 2000 year-old geological stratum.”
Sephiroth
“The Jenova Project.”
Sephiroth
“The Jenova Project wanted to produce people
with the powers of the Ancients……
Or, the Cetra.”
Sephiroth
“……I am what was produced.”
Sephiroth
“Yes.”
“Professor Gast, leader of
the Jenova Project and genius
scientist, produced me.”
Sephiroth
“Out of my way.
I'm going to see my mother.”
Before Leaving Midgar:
Reactor #1, Cloud's seizure:
Watch out!
This isn't just a reactor!!
^The
Early Material Files reveals that the line above originates from dialogue by Sephiroth. I think a more accurate retranslation would be "Beware! This is no ordinary reactor." but that's just my guess.
Sector 5-6 road, Cloud has quick flashback again:
In my veins courses the blood of the Ancients.
I am one of the rightful heirs to this planet!
Back in Shinra Mansion:
Sephiroth
“Being here brings back memories.”
Sephiroth
“Are you going to participate in the Reunion?”
Sephiroth
“Jenova will be at the Reunion.
Jenova will join the Reunion,
becoming a calamity from the skies.”
Sephiroth
“……I see.
I don't think you have the right to participate.”
“I will go North past Mt. Nibel.
If you wish to know……then follow……”
I think that's all I have to contribute.
That's already way more than I was expecting or hoping for!
