Midhir
Tifa and the others head into Midhir and explore the town…
BALD MAN BY ENTRANCE NPC
Ahoy there, beautiful! This here’s Midhir—village of ocean currents. It’s a tranquil village with hot springs. The ideal place for us old folks to live out our carefree lives. It may not be peaceful outside, but it’s still nice and quiet here.
If Tifa enters the Item Store to the right, a woman is running around the store, followed by a baby white chocobo.
ITEM STOREKEEPER
Welcome! We can only accept cash, but we’ll offer free smiles in return. …At least, we would, but… …that customer over there has purchased everything! We’ve got nothing left! …Gotcha! Just a little joke, eh? Now, what can I do for you?
The Item Store opens and once Tifa is done purchasing…
Thank you! Please come again!
Special Note: This shopper NPC appears in all three of Midhir’s stores. She has three sections of dialogue and the player can talk to her in any order, by going in and out of the stores, to access them. This is just one way to do it. The baby chocobo can also be accessed in any of the stores with her.
RUNNING SHOPPER WOMAN NPC
I heard that huge moon’s about to fall on us! It’s no joke! I’ve gotta start stocking up on the essentials! Come on! Out of the way! Move it! Move it!
If Tifa is not carrying Mimetite Greens and tries to talk to the baby chocobo…
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX
Chocobos only like humans who can give them their favourite greens.
If Tifa is carrying Mimetite Greens, she can talk to the baby chocobo.
TIFA
You’re very friendly all of a sudden. Oh, so that’s it… You’ve got your beady little eyes on my Mimetite Greens!
-
Give it some Mimetite Greens
-
I can’t spare anything
TIFA (Give it some Mimetite Greens)
Tifa kneels down.
Well, okay. Eat up.
Tifa gives the chocobo Mimetite Greens.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX
The chocobo looks like it enjoyed the greens.
If Tifa has already gotten the Forbidden materia from the baby chocobo…
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX
Dined and dashed.
Tifa puts her head to her hands, seemingly trying to hold back a giggle.
If the party has not collected the chocobo’s materia…
TIFA
Hehe! How cute! I could just tickle you!
-
Tickle its wings
-
Tickle its tail
-
Tickle its feet
-
Tickle its belly
-
Tickle its neck
-
Tickle its head
Tifa tickles the baby chocobo and the chocobo moves in reaction depending on what was tickled.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its wings)
The chocobo looks happy.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its tail)
The chocobo looks ticklish.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its feet)
The chocobo looks angry.
The chocobo rams into her and Tifa falls to the floor. She stands back up.
TIFA
Oh, don’t scare me like that! I thought I was a goner!
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its belly)
The chocobo looks shy.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its neck)
A green materia orb pops out.
Obtained Forbidden materia from the chocobo!
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX (Tickle its head)
The chocobo looks bored.
TIFA (I can’t spare anything)
Tifa shakes her head.
Sorry, little guy. I can’t give you anything.
Back outside, on the right side of the town, there is a woman in orange pants.
ORANGE PANTS WOMAN NPC
I haven’t seen you people before. Are you outsiders? How are things looking out there? What with the earthquakes and Meteor, I’m starting to wonder if it really is the end of the world. What a kick in the teeth. Life can be so cruel at times.
Inside the Materia Store, the same Running Shopper Woman NPC is running around the store with the baby chocobo still following her.
RUNNING SHOPPER WOMAN NPC
Oh, it’s you again. Have you come to hoard goods, too? Well, don’t even think about cutting in Everything in this store is MINE! And, trust me, I’ve got money to burn. I’ve been saving like mad for times such as these. Come on! Out of the way! Move it! Move it!
MATERIA STOREKEEPER
Welcome to my shop of tranquility and rest. …At least, we would, but… …that customer over there has purchased everything! We’ve got nothing left! …Hehe! Only joking. Now, what can I do for you?
The Materia Store opens and once Tifa is done purchasing…
Thank you! Please come again!
Back outside, if Tifa goes up some steps and talks to a woman in a blue dress, who is standing by the Weapon Store…
BLUE DRESS NPC
Roll up! Roll up! It’s a steal! Everything must go! We’ve got the best weapons and armours—the likes of which you won’t find anywhere else. First come, first served, darn it! You there! Don’t just stand around! Come inside! Welcome! Welcome! There’s no need for formalities! Go on in! Don’t be shy! Step right up! …I’ll never understand why my husband decided to set up shop in such a laid-back place. …sigh…
If Tifa enters the Weapon Store, the Running Shopper Woman NPC with the baby chocobo is there again.
RUNNING SHOPPER WOMAN NPC
Argh! There’s no time! That moon could crash down on us at any minute! When it comes down to it, the world’s about having possessions! That way, you can get by wherever, whenever! So, I’m gonna spend, spend, spend! Shop ‘til I drop!!
WEAPON STOREKEEPER
Welcome to my charity shop—a place of love and courage! What can I do for you today?
The Weapon Store opens and once Tifa is done purchasing… Thank you! Please come again!
In the back of the store, there is a door. If Tifa knocks on it…
TIFA
No good. Looks like it’s locked.
If Tifa heads back outside along the upper walkway, there’ll be a man in purple.
MAN IN PURPLE NPC
Hey there. Wanna hear a secret? That skinflint’s chocobo has a beautiful green stone hidden under its wing! Must be a jewel or something? The chocobo certainly doesn’t need it...
If Tifa already has the Forbidden materia from the baby chocobo…
Hey, you got that green stone from the chocobo, didn’t you!? I’m so jealous!
If Tifa has not knocked on the backdoor inside the Weapon Store yet, near the Man In Purple NPC, Tifa will bend down to look at something on the ground.
TIFA
Huh? What’s this? There’s something stuck here… Looks like a key. It’s stuck real good. Oh, whatever! I’ll let it go for now.
If Tifa knocks on the Weapon Store door and comes back to the spot with the key…
TIFA
Come on. There has to be a way to get it out. If I just move this, and… push that… All right! It came loose!
Obtained Beat-up, Useless, Rusty Old Key!
If Tifa knocked on the Weapon Store door first before discovering the key…
TIFA
Huh? What’s this? There’s something stuck here… Looks like a key.
Obtained Beat-Up, Useless, Rusty Old Key!
Inside the house by Man In Purple NPC, there will be an old man and woman and a maid.
OLD WOMAN NPC
You’re telling me no-one knows when that huge ball of fire is going to rain down on us? I can’t believe what’s happening. How could it end up like this?
OLD MAN NPC
Ancient Weapons? The end of the world? I’ll have non of that malarkey! I’m gonna live to be a hundred! There’s tons of stuff I have left to do. I’m making a start this instant. And just what have Shin-Ra and Soldier done about this, eh? Nothing but a bunch of self-serving layabouts!!
MAID NPC
True, I’m a fair maid, but don’t let that fool ya. I buy and sell accessories on the side. You’ll never be ashamed wearing these—only the finest quality! So how about it? Feel like buying something?
The Accessory Store opens and once Tifa is done purchasing, Maid NPC will bow.
Thanks, hun. Come back anytime.
If Tifa returns to the Weapon Store door with key…
TIFA
I know… What about that rusty old key? Maybe I should give it a shot.
-
Use the Beat-Up, Useless, Rusty Old Key
-
Better not
TIFA (Use the Beat-Up, Useless, Rusty Old Key)
Yeah, this should do it.
Tifa tries to put the key in the door.
Hmm? It’s a tight fit…
Tifa tries a little hard and a loud breaking sound happens.
Eyaaah! Oh no! It snapped off! I can’t get it out!
Weapon Storekeeper NPC turns his head toward Tifa.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
Is something the matter?
Tifa jumps.
TIFA
…Ulp!
Tifa turns to face the Weapon Storekeeper NPC.
Uh, no, it’s just…
Tifa turns away from him and puts her arms in a thinking pose.
What am I going to do?
-
Lie your butt off!
-
Own up and apologize
TIFA (Lie your butt off!)
Tifa turns to face Weapon Storekeeper NPC and waves her right arm frantically in front of herself.
Nothing! I was just thinking how nice this door looks is all.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
Hahaha! Really? Well, thanks.
Weapon Storekeeper NPC turns back around and Tifa relaxes.
TIFA
Whew. That was close. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth though…
If Tifa looks at the door again…
The key’s snapped off inside. I can’t reach it. … H-How did it get there?
TIFA (Own up and apologize)
Tifa turns to face Weapon Storekeeper and poses with her hands placed behind her back.
I’m… I’m so sorry! I forced the key in, and it broke off.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
Huh? Key? …To that door?
Tifa relaxes her body and nods.
Hah, hah, hah! That’s a good one!
TIFA
???
Weapon Storekeeper NPC hops off of the stool that he was sitting on and laughs.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
Of course it broke off! It’s a wall! I just painted a door onto it.
Tifa shakes her head.
TIFA
What!? It’s not a real door!?
Weapon Storekeeper NPC nods.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
That’s right. I painted it on there to make it feel like you could pass through into another world. Sorry I made you panic. It’s not much by way of apology, but please take this…
Weapon Storekeeper NPC holds up his hand.
TIFA
Really? Thanks, I guess.
Tifa walks over and takes what’s in Weapon Storekeeper’s hand. Obtained Cursed Ring! Weapon Storekeeper NPC hops back onto his stool and turns his head back toward Tifa.
WEAPON STOREKEEPER NPC
Who wouldn’t want a door like this? One that could take you into another world! You know, it’s weird, but I have this nagging feeling I might just pass through it someday…
TIFA (Better not)
I’d better not. It looks like it doesn’t fit anyway.
A little down the road from the entrance and various stores, Tifa comes across a lone gray dog.
TIFA
What’s the matter, you scruffy little thing? You look kinda lonely.
Tifa kneels down in front of it as it whines.
Lost the one you love most? Only a fool would let that happen…
Down the way, two older men begin to speak. One is bald.
BALD OLD MAN NPC
…I guess it’s been about a week now since that spiky-haired young fellow washed up on the shore.
OLD MAN NPC
Aye, that was a sad sight, aw right. It was kind o’ strange though—him graspin’ oan tae that enormous sword. Maybe this is a bad omen, if ye know what ah mean? An’ what aboot those mysterious blue eyes?
Tifa turns her body toward the speakers.
TIFA
What!?
Tifa stands up and turns to face them.
W-wait a minute!! What did you just say!?
Tifa runs over to the talking old men.
Excuse me. That young man you were talking about…
BALD OLD MAN NPC
A villager found him on the coast up ahead. About a week ago, I think.
OLD MAN NPC
Poor kid. Ah bet he drifted in from somewhere really far away.
Tifa faces the other party members.
TIFA
Cloud! It must be! It’s Cloud!!
BARRETT
What!?
NANAKI
So he IS here!
YUFFIE
BINGO!!
CAIT
Jackpot!
VINCENT
We’ve found him at last.
CID
Heh. I’m made up for ya, Tifa.
Tifa faces the old men again.
TIFA
Where is he? Is he safe? Where is he!?
The Bald Old Man NPC turns and points to a building further up the road.
BALD OLD MAN NPC
He’s up ahead. At th’ clinic.
The Bald Old Man NPC turns back to face Tifa. Tifa looks at the building.
TIFA
He’s alive! Cloud… Cloud’s alive!!
Tifa runs toward the building.
Cloud!!
BARRETT
Uh? Yo, Tifa!
NANAKI
Wait!
YUFFIE
HEY! Wait up!
CAIT
Hold oan!
If Vincent or Cid are in the party, they say nothing, but just run after Tifa.
The party members run after Tifa as she heads into the clinic. Inside, there is a doctor and another room. In the other room, a nurse stands in front of a blonde man slumped in a wheel chair. Tifa looks around.
TIFA
Cloud!?
The doctor turns to face Tifa.
DOCTOR
Oh my… The way you ran in, I thought Meteor had crashed down or something!
TIFA
I’m sorry, but I heard a friend of mine is being treated here.
The doctor crosses his arms.
DOCTOR
A friend?
The doctor uncrosses his arms and nods.
Oh… the young man. Your friend is in the next room. But I must warn you, he—
Tifa turns her head toward the doorway of the other room.
TIFA
Here?
She faces the doctor and nods.
Excuse me!
Tifa runs into the other room.
Cloud!?
The nurse moves out of the way with her head held low. The wheelchair rolls forward, showing that the young man is Cloud. The doctor walks to and stands at the doorway entrance into the room. The other party members come running into the clinic through the front entrance.
TIFA
Oh, Cloud! I’m so glad you’re okay!
Tifa takes a few steps closer as Cloud’s head begins to move al around as if Cloud is in a daze.
…!? Cloud?
CLOUD
Uh…aaa…?
Tifa takes two more steps closer, standing right in front of Cloud.
TIFA
W-what’s wrong? Cloud!?
CLOUD
Aaah… googah…
TIFA
Cloud! What’s happened to you!?
The doctor turns away from Cloud and Tifa and crosses his arms.
DOCTOR
Mako poisoning. A severe case, I’m sorry to say. It appears that this young man has been exposed to extreme levels of Mako energy for a prolonged period of time. It’s unlikely that he has any idea who, or where, he is. Poor fellow. He probably can’t even hear you. His mind is elsewhere. Somewhere far away. Where no-one’s ever been. All alone.
The doctor drops his arms and shakes his head. Tifa slightly turns her body toward the doctor.
TIFA
No!!
Tifa turns back to face Cloud.
BARRETT
Damn.
NANAKI
Shakes his head.
This is so… cruel.
YUFFIE
Lowers her head.
You’re kidding, right!?
CAIT
Lowers his head.
Aw naw.
VINCENT
…
CID
Shakes his head.
That’s heavy.
Tifa falls to her knees.
TIFA
Cloud…
DOCTOR
Ahem! Shall we excuse ourselves a moment?
The doctor turns to face the front entrance of the clinic.
Let’s wait outside.
With the exception of Vincent, as the party members leave, they look back at Tifa and Cloud before exiting.
If Barrett is one of the party members...
BARRETT
…
As the party members leave, they are followed by the doctor and then the nurse. Tifa stares at Cloud for a few moments before her arms and head collapse and lean forward onto Clouds legs.
TIFA
Why? Why did this have to happen?
Tifa lifts her head back up to look at Cloud.
Please, Cloud… answer me. Tell me you can see me—that you can hear me. Please!
Tifa’s head and arms slump back to Cloud’s legs.
I made it this far. I want to believe the memories we share are real. This can’t be happening… It’s just too cruel.
Tifa shakes her head.
Oh, Cloud! I…
Meanwhile, the doctor, nurse, and party members stand outside the clinic.
BARRETT
Yo, Doc, be honest a sec. What’s… What’s gonna happen to Cloud? Is he gonna get better?
NANAKI
Nanaki stands on his haunches and crosses his arms.
Will Cloud be all right, Doctor?
YUFFIE
Hey, Doc, is Cloud going to be okay? Will he get better?
CAIT
Hey, Doc. What’s the deal? Is Cloud gonnae be awright? We juist want the truth.
CID
Listen up, Doc. Why don’t ya cut the crap? What’s gonna happen to Cloud? Is he gonna get better?
The doctor crosses his arms.
DOCTOR
As I said, he has Mako poisoning. I’ve never seen a case this bad. Mako energy holds a vast amount of knowledge, and it all poured into his head in an instant. An ordinary person wouldn’t have stood a chance. It’s a miracle he’s still alive!
BARRETT
Shakes his head.
You can say that again. Fallin’ in the Lifestream, an’ bein’ washed up way out here…
NANAKI
You’re right… His body was completely covered in the Lifestream.
YUFFIE
Shakes her head.
You don’t say? I mean, he fell head first into the Lifestream!
CAIT
Scratches the back of his head.
Ye can say that again. He’s bin drenched in the Lifestream.
CID
Shakes his head.
You ain’t kiddin’. I mean, he fell into the Lifestream and got washed up way out here.
The doctor drops his arms and looks at both of the party members.
DOCTOR
But, remember, a glimmer of hope can be found anywhere. You mustn’t give up. If you lose all hope, he’ll have nothing left to live for.
NANAKI
Yeah, he’ll recover! After all, he was in Soldier.
YUFFIE
Yeah, that’s right. Besides, WE’RE here for him. He’s just gotta get better!
CAIT
Aye. Cloud’ll get better! Wi’ all his friends worryin’ aboot him, he’ll make sure of it.
CID
Cid crosses his arms.
Hope, eh? I guess that’s all we got.
Special Note: Barrett has more lines here than the other party members.
BARRETT
He turns away from the group.
Hope, huh?
Barrett crosses his arms.
Hey, let’s get real. Do I really wan’ him back? What’s he done for the world? What can he do for us from here on? He may be nothin’ more than Sephiroth’s handyman.
DOCTOR
Is something the matter?
Barrett turns back to face the group and shakes his head.
BARRETT
Nah, it’s nothin’.
Tifa walks out of the clinic.
TIFA
…
BARRETT
You okay?
NANAKI
Are you all right, Tifa?
YUFFIE
You okay, Tifa?
CAIT
Are ye awright?
CID
You okay?
Tifa nods.
TIFA
Yeah… Sorry I made you worry. There’s something I need to tell you.
Tifa walks back into the clinic and the others follow. Inside the clinic, the party members stand near the clinic’s entrance, facing Tifa. Tifa is standing in the room with Cloud faced away from everyone.
TIFA
This might be obvious, but…
Tifa turns to face toward the others and nods.
I… want to stay by his side.
Tifa turns her head slightly toward Cloud.
BARRETT
Yeah, mebbe that’s for the best. …For both of you.
NANAKI
Yeah, I think that’s for the best!
YUFFIE
Yeah. You gotta be true to yourself.
CAIT
Kind o’ makes me wantae switch places wi’ Cloud, knowin’ that ye’r his nurse!
VINCENT
Yes, you must trust your instincts.
CID
You don’t need to explain anythin’.
Tifa lowers her head.
TIFA
I’m sorry. And now of all times…
Tifa lifts her head back up.
BARRETT
You got nothin’ to apologize for. We’ll come back an’ check on ya.
NANAKI
That’s all right. We’ll stop by now and then.
CAIT
Nae need tae be so polite. We’ll stop by again sometime.
YUFFIE
No biggie. We’ll pop in again later.
VINCENT
Do not concern yourself. We shall return at a later time.
CID
Don’t worry. We’ll drop in again soon.
BARRETT
Hang in there, Tifa. Take care of Cloud.
NANAKI
Good luck, Tifa. Take care of Cloud.
CAIT
Hope Cloud gets better soon.
YUFFIE
Take care of Cloud. Hang in there, Tifa.
VINCENT
Attend to Cloud.
CID
Hang in there, Tifa. Take care of Cloud.
Tifa lowers her head.
TIFA
Yeah.
Special Note: This dialogue happens if Barrett is one of the party members.
Barrett turns to face the clinic’s entryway, but then turns his head to Tifa.
BARRETT
Oh, and uh, Tifa. I don’t like askin’ this, but… …are ya really sure he’s the guy you grew up with an’ not some sorta Sephiroth shadow?
Tifa lifts her head to face Cloud.
TIFA
Huh? I mean… he must be.
Tifa shakes her head.
No… I know he is!
Barrett turns to Tifa and nods.
BARRETT
Okay, long as you’re sure. Sorry about that.
Barrett turns back to face the clinic’s entrance.
BARRETT
We’re headin’ back to the Highwind.
NANAKI
All right, we’ll head back to the Highwind.
YUFFIE
Okay, we’ll head back to the Highwind.
CAIT
Well, ah guess we’ll be headin’ back tae the Highwind.
VINCENT
Swooshes his cape and theatrically points toward the door.
Very well, then. We shall reboard the Highwind.
CID
Okay, how’s about we head back to my ship?
------------------------------------------------------
Back on the Highwind cockpit, Barrett takes a few steps forward and stands in front of the viewing window. Cid is asleep on the floor next to the pilot, while Cait, Nanaki, and Vincent stand back a ways, looking at Barrett.
BARRETT
What’re we gonna do now?
Barrett turns around, takes a couple of steps forward, and looks at everyone.
Well? There’s gotte be somethin’? An’ don’t go tellin’ me we have to wait for Cloud to get better!
Cait takes a few steps forward toward Barrett.
CAIT
Uhm ah’ve got some info.
BARRETT
Oh? So, you’ve moved up to counterspying, eh!?
Cait takes a couple steps closer to Barrett.
CAIT
Och. Ah turned mah back oan Shin-Ra long ago.
Cait turns around to face the camera.
Both ‘Gya, ha, ha’ and ‘Kya, ha, ha’ are up tae somethin’. Wantae eavesdrop?
------------------------------------------------------
Back in the conference room of Shin-Ra Headquarters, Heidegger and Palmer sit at the meeting table, while Reeve stands. Rufus walks into the room and runs his hand through his hair. Rufus turns to face the other men.
RUFUS
Now then. We’re faced with two pressing issues… One—the destruction of Meteor. Two—removing the barrier surrounding the Great Glacier and defeating Sephiroth. Any thoughts as to our strategy?
HEIDEGGER
Gya, ha, ha! We’ve solved problem one. Meteor will soon be history! The plan’s already in motion. We’re currently in the process of recovering Huge Materia from each region.
Rufus crosses his arms in a thinking pose.
RUFUS
I see…
Scarlet enters the conference room.
SCARLET
Huge Materia is a special type of highly condensed materia. It’s compressed and formed inside Mako reactors.
Scarlet turns to Rufus and briefly shimmies.
The energy contained in it is 330 times greater than normal materia. Kya, ha, ha! Isn’t that just fabulous?
She turns back toward the other men and makes a wide gathering motion with her arms.
We’ll gather up all the Huge Materias and then ram them into Meteor.
She turns back to Rufus and shimmies again.
There’ll be an enormous explosion. Meteor will be quite literally blown to pieces!
RUFUS
You’re going to ram Meteor? But do we have the technology?
SCARLET
There’s no cause for concern, sir. But our first priority should be to focus our efforts on retrieving the Huge Materia.
HEIDEGGER
We’ve recovered it from Nibelheim. Only Corel, Fort Condor, and one other remain. I’ve already dispatched troops to Corel. Gya, ha, ha!
------------------------------------------------------
Back on the Highwind, Barrett waves his arms in the air.
BARRETT
Corel!
Barrett lowers his arms. He turns to face the others.
What more can they do to Corel!?
NANAKI
Huge Materia… It’s materia that’s really… huge in size. I’ve heard about it. I got told that if you bring normal materia close enough to it, something great can happen. And because we’re going to need the power of materia…
Barrett nods.
BARRETT
…We can’t let any of the Huge Materia fall into Shin-Ra’s hands!
Barrett nods again.
Besides, when Cloud gets back, I wanna show him some. He’ll get the shock of his life.
Cait bounds a few steps forward toward Barrett.
CAIT
Oh, so what’s aw this, then, Barrett? After everthin’ that’s happened, ye want Cloud back tae, aye?
Barrett turns to face the window, looks up, then turns back to face the others.
BARRETT
Hey, I ain’t never had no problem with him. Thing is… …every group’s gotta have a leader.
Barrett pounds on his chest.
An’ that’s me! …Is what I used to say. But I ain’t cut out to be no leader. I never got that ‘til recently.
Barrett takes a few steps toward the others and turns to face the window.
So, that jus’ leaves……
Barrett turns to face Cid, who is still sitting on the floor sleeping.
CID
…zzZ…zzzZ… …zZ… …?
Cid wakes up, stands up, and turns to face Barrett.
Wha…? What’s goin’ on?
Barrett nods.
BARRETT
You’re our new leader.
CID
Pain in the ass. Forget it.
Barrett shakes his head.
BARRETT
To continue the fight, we need you an’ the Highwind.
Barrett sweeps his arm to show the ship’s cockpit.
This is the ship that’ll save the planet—an’ who’s runnin’ it? You are! That’s why you’re our leader. ‘Cause no-one else can do it.
Cid turns to face the camera and clenches his fist.
CID
The ship that’ll save the planet, huh? That sounds like the stuff of legends to me.
Cid taps the back of his head.
I just felt it right there…
Cid nods and does an arm circle set.
I’m the man. Damn right I’ll do it.
Barrett nods.
BARRETT
Well, let’s get down to business. The operation room’s waitin’ for ya!
Cid turns back to face Barrett and nods.
CID
Yeah!!
Cid runs out of the cockpit. When Cid makes it to the end of the catwalk…
BARRETT
Yo! Cid! When you’re ready, head for the Corel reactor. C’mon, Mr Leader! Hurry it up!
YUFFIE
Cid… taking orders?
Cid turns to face Yuffie, who is bent over. If he walks over and checks on her…
I know you’re dyin’ to talk to a babe like me, but… …I need to be alone. Sorry. Ships make me …urk…
If Cid goes back to the cockpit…
COCKPIT CREWMAN 1 NPC
Keep it up, Captain!
COCKPIT CREWMAN 2 NPC
Captain, you were born to play leader!
TRAINEE PILOT (Lv 5)
Yaaargh! Congratulations on becoming the new leader, Cap’n!
If Cid heads back out of the cockpit and talks to the crewman working outside the Operation Room.
CREWMAN NPC
I have my hands full right now, so I’ll have to keep working. Is everything okay?
CID
-
What are the airship controls?
-
Let’s have a chat
CREWMAN NPC (What are the airship controls?)

[D-Pad Down] Increase altitude
[D-Pad Left] Turn left

Huh? You hadn’t forgotten, had you, Captain? Oh, I get it… You were just testing me.
CREWMAN NPC (Let’s have a chat)
I’m so sorry. I can’t chat right now. I’m in the middle of something very important.
Inside the Operation Room, a large crewman stands in the corner.
LARGE CREWMAN NPC
Hello, Captain!
Cid enters the cockpit area again.
BARRETT
Yo, Mr Leader… hurry it up!
NANAKI
Hey, Cid, let’s see Cloud and Tifa from time to time.
CAIT
Hm. There’s Huge Materia at Corel, Fort Condor… …an’ ah forgot where else. Come oan! Think! Where was it!?
VINCENT
Cid, I envy your burning passion. My capacity for emotion melted away during the long slumber.
TRAINEE PILOT (Lv 6)
Yaargh! Are we leaving?
CID
-
Yeah! Go!
-
No (If selected, nothing happens.)
TRAINEE PILOT (Lv 6) (Yeah! Go!)
Yaargh! We’re off!
If the player selects to go back to the Highwind’s cockpit again, Cid will tap his head.
CID
Uh, let’s see… Where should we head off to? Corel of Fort Condor?
The Highwind takes off making its way to Corel.
