wutai
Special Note: It’s possible to enter while Tifa or Cid are the party leaders. Since Tifa and Cid become party leaders after Meteor, some of the town's dialogue changes too. But, to keep the script simplified, only additional leader dialogue will be included on this page. Dialogue changes among Wutai citizens will be on the World Explore 2 page. Wutai is also accessible without Yuffie, but then Yuffie’s story events don’t unfold and the Turks won’t be there.
​
The party lands on the beach just to south of Wutai. As they approach a hilltop, Yuffie runs up after them.
​
YUFFIE
Wait! Wait! Wait! Waiiiiit!!
​
She runs to catch up with, jumps over the party, turns around, and spreads her arms out as though attempting to stop them.
​
BARRETT
Hey, hey, hey! What’s with you all of a sudden?
​
AERITH
What is it!? Why are you panicking so much all of a sudden?
​
TIFA
W-what the…!? Has something happened?
​
NANAKI
W-What’s happened? Don’t scare me like that!
​
CAIT
Hey, hey, hey! What’s goin’ oan!? Dinnae scare me like that!
​
CID
What the HELL is it!? Jumpin’ out, screamin’ like that!
​
VINCENT
That was sudden. A problem?
​
YUFFIE
I happen to know about this area. Ya see, it gets pretty rough up ahead. We have to… prepare a little.
​
Special Note: According to Yinza’s OG script, the lines of Barrett, Aerith, Tifa, and Nanaki change a little here depending on whether or not Yuffie had stolen from the party before. For some reason, this did not trigger during my playthrough.
​
BARRETT
A-HA! You don’t fool me! You’re up to no good again, aren’t ya?
​
AERITH
Hmmm… Sounds fishy. You’re not planning something sneaky again, are you?
​
TIFA
Really? Well, I don’t trust you. I think you’re just trying to deceive us all again.
​
NANAKI
…sniff…sniff… Smells fishy. If you’re trying to trick us all again…
Or…
…sniff…shiff… I smell a rat. And my nose never lies!
​
CAIT
Is she serious? Ah cannae believe what this girl is sayin’! Then again, ah guess ah’ve no room tae talk.
​
VINCENT
Up ahead? I foresee no danger. Your behavior is certainly suspicious however.
​
CID
Hey, hey, hey! You serious? If you’re thinkin’ on connin’ me, you better think again!
​
Yuffie shakes her head.
​
YUFFIE
N-no! No! It’s really, really tough ahead, and…
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER NPCs
Here he comes! Seize him!
​
Two Shin-Ra Soldier NPCs come and point rifles at the group.
​
If Yuffie was the third party member, then the party leader speaks here instead.
CLOUD/TIFA
Shin-Ra!?
​
CID
What!? Shin-Ra!?
​
BARRETT
Shin-Ra, huh!?
​
AERITH
Oh no! Shin-Ra!?
​
TIFA
Shin-Ra!?
​
NANAKI
It’s Shin-Ra!
​
CAIT
Sh-Shin-Ra…
​
VINCENT
Shin-Ra!
​
CID
What!? Shin-Ra!?
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
Hey, wait! This isn’t him! Th-these guys are…!!
​
BARRETT
Yuffie, I knew it, ya…!
​
AERITH
Yuffie, did you…?
​
TIFA
Yuffie, tell me you didn’t?
​
NANAKI
I knew it, Yuffie!
​
CAIT
No bad, Yuffie. No bad at all.
​
VINCENT
What is the meaning of this? Explain yourself.
​
CID
Yuffie! You’ve got some nerve, kiddo!
​
YUFFIE
I didn’t know! I didn’t know! This one has nothing to do with me!
​
BARRETT
Whaddya mean ‘This one’? So, you WERE plottin’ somethin’!
​
AERITH
This one? What do you mean ‘This one’? So, you WERE up to something!
​
TIFA
This one? Did you just say ‘This one’? So, you WERE up to something!
​
NANAKI
What do you mean ‘This one’? So, you WERE scheming after all!
​
CAIT
This one? What dae ye mean ‘This one’? Got a guilty conscience fer somethin’ else, aye!?
​
VINCENT
‘This one’? An interesting choice of words. You had something else in mind?
​
CID
Whaddya mean ‘THIS one’? So, you WERE up to no damn good!
​
YUFFIE
N-no… Uhh…
​
Special Note: Both these guys are named “Shin-Ra Soldier” in the mod. I changed their names slightly so that they can be told apart in the script.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER 1 NPC
W-what should we do?
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER 2 NPC
Uh… do ‘em in. Don’t think Just do it!
​
They rush toward the group. Yuffie runs on ahead. They fight and defeat the two Shin-Ra Soldiers. One of the party members, checks their pockets.
​
BARRETT
Hey, the hell just happened? I knew somethin’ was wrong! My materia! It’s all gone!!
​
AERITH
What’s happened? I thought something was missing! Materia! My materia! It’s all gone!!
​
TIFA
What’s going on here? Something’s wrong… My… my materia! It’s all gone!!
​
NANAKI
What’s going on? I thought something was strange… My materia! My materia! Where is it!?
​
CAIT
What the heck’s goin’ oan? Ah ken… Somethin’s missin’… Mah materia! It’s gone without a trace!
​
VINCENT
I sensed something was awry. Look at what’s happened… My materia—it has been stolen!
​
CID
What the hell happened? Hey, I knew I was missin’ somethin’… My goddamn materia! Where the hell is it!!?
​
If Yuffie was in the party, Barrett or Nanaki will run up depending on who the other party member is...
BARRETT
Yo, we got a problem… Our materia’s disappeared!
​
NANAKI
W-we have a problem…! All our materia’s gone!!
​
CLOUD/TIFA
If Yuffie was the third party member…
Hey… Where’s Yuffie?
​
CID
If Cid is party leader and Yuffie was the third party member…
Hey… Where’s that little pest got to?
​
BARRETT
Yo… Where’s Yuffie?
​
AERITH
Hey… Where’s Yuffie?
​
TIFA
Hey… Where’s Yuffie?
​
NANAKI
Hey… Where’s Yuffie?
​
CAIT
Och… Where’s Yuffie?
​
VINCENT
Hm… Where’s Yuffie?
​
CID
Hey… Where’s Yuffie?
​
They search around for Yuffie.
​
BARRETT
Waving his arms in the air.
That stupid…! Grrrrrgh! Arrrrrgh! Urrrrrrrrrrgh!! She was after our materia from the start! North! She went north! I’m gonna get the materia back if it’s the last thing I do! C’mon! After her!
​
AERITH
Pumping fer fists up and down.
I’m SO mad! She must have been eyeing our materia from the start. It looks like she’s fled north. Let’s hurry after her and get our materia back!
​
TIFA
Repeatedly stamping her foot.
We’ve been tricked! I’ll never forgive her! She wanted our materia right from the word go! She won’t get away with this! I’m pretty sure she ran north… Let’s go after her!
​
NANAKI
Making rawr type motions.
Damn it! Grrrr! Rawr! Raaawr! She wanted to steal our materia from the beginning! …sniff…sniff… North! She’s gone north! I’m not letting her get away… Hurry! Hurry! We have to get our materia back!
​
CAIT
Waving his arms in the air.
Och! We’ve been had! We’ve bin taken fer mugs! She was after our materia from the start. We cannae juist leave like this. Let’s hurry after her. C’moan! Hmm… Which way? North! It’s north! The stars have told me so!
​
VINCENT
Inexcusable… Her only interest was our materia. We can’t leave this be. She ran north. We must pursue her and reclaim it all.
​
CID
The little weasel! She’s taken me for a ride! No doubt about it… That punk was after our materia from the very start! Hmm… Looks like she ran north. Don’t drag your asses! We’re leaving RIGHT NOW! That little brat is history!
​
If the party leader tries to get back in the Tiny Bronco/Highwind to leave…
CLOUD
First, we’ve gotta do something about HER.
​
TIFA
We can’t just leave like this!
​
CID
I’m not lettin’ that damn brat get away!!
They go north and arrive in Wutai and immediately spot Yuffie.
​
YUFFIE
Oh!!
​
Yuffie immediately runs off.
​
If the party enters a small house next to the river, it place will be filled with about 10 cats.
​
If the party leader goes up the stairs to the large, dark grey house.
NON-CHARACTER TEXTBOX
This is MY house! NO-ONE is allowed in!
​
If the party goes over the bradge and into the Weapons Store.
WEAPONS STOREKEEPER NPC
I’m sorry. You see… No. Never mind. Stop by again later.
​
MAN IN STORE NPC
Sorry, but our stock is completely sold out at the moment. What are those, you ask? Uh, no, those are, err… …samples! Yeah, they’re samples. Come back later, okay?
​
Outside of a building with a giant turtle hanging on it, there’s a sign.
​
TURTLE LOUNGE FLYER CAMPAIGN TEXT
The Turtle Lounge flyer campaign is now on! Keep an eye out for Turtle Lounge newsletters, posted in locations all over the world. Six flyers have been posted in total. If you find them, be sure to notify me and claim your prize! All you need to do is read them, but please don’t tear them down. Give other customers a chance.
-Owner of the Turtle Lounge
​
Inside the Turtle Lounge, there is a barkeeper, a man at the bar, and the Turks, Yrena, Rude, and Leno, sitting at a table.
​
BARKEEPER NPC
Hello. Welcome. Are you travelling too? Please, just relax and make yourselves at home. Wutai relies on tourists like you to get by these days after all.
​
MAN AT THE BAR NPC
Hello. Did you know there used to be a Water God in Wutai? They say the god was like a huge snake! We live in a world of Mako now, so not many believe in tales like that anymore. Still, it’s said that the Water God’s scales, and a materia containing the god’s power… …can be found in Wutai and the lands beyond.
​
The party walks up to the Turks.
​
YRENA
Y-you! What are you doing here?
Yrena jumps up out of her seat.
Uh, n-never mind that. You must be all out of luck running into the Turks again. Prepare yourselves!
​
The group takes a fighting stance.
​
LENO
Yrena. Shut up, yeh.
​
YRENA
S-sir!?
​
LENO
Remind me… Why did we come all the way out here in the middle of nowhere?
​
YRENA
W-we’re on holiday. We’re trying to forget about work.
​
LENO
Exactly. You’re going to ruin it for us.
​
YRENA
B-but…
​
RENO
Even the booze’ll taste sour.
​
YRENA
Sorry.
​
The group relaxes and Yrena sits back down. If the party approaches them…
​
YRENA
Hmph. Looks like it’s your lucky day. Now, get out of my sight! Next time we meet, I won’t be so forgiving!
​
LENO
Drink up, Rude! How long have we been a team, eh? Being a Turk’s tough at times, but, after all’s said and done, I’m glad to be one. And I got to meet a bunch of weirdos like you, heh.
​
RUDE
To the Turks. To Leno. Cheers.
​
Leaving the Turtle Lounge and crossing the bridge north, a little kid runs around a building.
​
LITTLE KID NPC
Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? That huge statue, standing proud on the mountain, is Da Zhao. I heard you can climb all the way to the top of it, but it’s dangerous. Be real careful if you try that! A girl with materia? Hmm. No. No-one’s climbed Da Zhao for some time now. Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? I’ve been hearing these weird rumbling sounds coming from inside the materia store...
​
The party enters the store, there’s a Storekeeper NPC and a woman working at the counter.
​
WOMAN AT COUNTER NPC
I’m sorry. I know the sign outside says ‘materia’, but there’s almost none left in Wutai. This has been a backwater village ever since the Shin-Ra Company… Well, you know. If we had a lot of materia, I really think Wutai could flourish like before.
​
STOREKEEPER NPC
We’ve got all sorts here. See anything you like? The store opens and it sells regular items.
​
If the party leader opens a nearby chest…
​
Obtained MP Absorb materia! Yuffie jumps down from the ceiling grabs it and runs away out the front door. MP Absorb materia was stolen!
​
WOMAN NPC
Huh? What? Is something wrong?
​
To the left of the store is a path that leads to a pagoda.
​
MAN WALKING ALONG PATH TOWARD THE PAGODA NPC
Lord Godot resides in the mansion up ahead. He was once an incredibly powerful man, but now all he does is sleep. For one reason or another, Yuffie’s been obsessed with materia for a long time. She’s always hanging around places that might have any. The party runs up the path. At the end, there’s the pagoda, a large temple bell, and a very ornate building.
​
Sometimes, a man in green walks back and forth.
​
MAN IN GREEN NPC
That five-tiered structure over there is called the Pagoda of the Five Masters. The first four Masters have the ability of Power, Speed, Magic, and Martial Arts. The fifth and final Master is proficient in all four disciplines combined. Did you know that the people of Wutai have worshipped Da Zhao and the Water God since antiquity? Legend tells us that the village has been protected by Da Zhao, the Water God, and the Five Masters since time immemorial. Even so, we were outmatched in our last battle. I suppose the legend is just that—a legend.
​
If they enter the pagoda, an old man will be standing there.
OLD MAN NPC
…
​
If they try to run up the stairs…
OLD MAN NPC
Halt! You are not from Wutai, are you?
​
CLOUD/TIFA/CID
-
No
-
Yes
OLD MAN NPC (No)
Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the pagoda. I’m afraid I must ask you to leave.
​
OLD MAN NPC (Yes)
Fie! To deceive people of one’s identity is an absolute affront! Leave the pagoda at once!
Upon entering the ornate building, a middle aged man in nice robes will be sleeping.
​
GODOT
…snore… …What do you want? Don’t have …snore… anything much, but… you should be able to …snore… relax here. …snore… Make yourselves at home. …Yuffie? …No. Never heard of her. …snore… …Persistent. I say again—I don’t know of her.
If bothered again, Godot will sit up.
I said I don’t know her! There isn’t anyone named Yuffie anywhere in Wutai!
He stands up.
Who are you…? I’ve spotted quite a few Shin-Ra soldiers around here recently. You wouldn’t have anything to do with that, would you? If you’re causing trouble with Shin-Ra, I’m going to have to ask you to leave. I don’t want them breathing down our neck again.
​
A voice shouts from off screen.
​
YUFFIE
Coward!
​
Yuffie jumps down from the ceiling and stands in Godot’s doorway. He turns to face her.
​
GODOT
Yuffie…!
​
YUFFIE
Are you THAT scared of Shin-Ra? Why don’t you just bow down to them like all the other towns have?
She runs into the room.
These people here are actually fighting Shin-Ra!
​
GODOT
E-enough! What would you know of this?
​
YUFFIE
So you lost one battle, and that’s it? What ever happened to the mighty Wutai I keep hearing about?
​
GODOT
This does not concern a child such as yourself. …And you’re still wearing that atrocious outfit! You ought to be ashamed!
​
YUFFIE
Au contraire. I can wear whatever I like. It’s no-one else’s business. C’est la vie!
​
Godot raises his fists in the air.
​
GODOT
Au contraire!? C’EST LA VIE!!?
He begins to shake with anger.
To think you would go so far as to use outlandish language! My daughter, a… a delinquent!
​
YUFFIE
Whatever! You’re a lazy, sad excuse for a father!!
​
Yuffie runs out of the room and down the hall. Godot begins to chase after her, but stops and goes back to the room and faces a large mural that covers one of the room’s walls.
​
GODOT
Take your things and leave. We cannot afford to oppose Shin-Ra. It is for the good of Wutai.
​
As the party heads back toward the town…
MAN WALKING ALONG PATH TOWARD THE PAGODA NPC
She’s always getting into trouble. …But, then, so is Lord Godot. Like father, like daughter, I suppose. What? Where’s Yuffie? She’s a real character that one. She’ll barge into other people’s houses uninvited and everything. Then she’ll find a good place to hide and stay there. She is still a child, after all.
​
Back in town, there’s a woman wearing maroon by the river.
WOMAN IN MAROON BY THE RIVER NPC
The life of a man flows like water—its source: the ocean of life. A source to which it must return. This is the historical town Wutai. Please enjoy the unusual sights it has to offer. Yuffie? I saw her not so long ago. She must be in one of the houses around here.
​
If the party leader runs into the building closest to Wutai’s entrance point. An old man will be sitting, a little girl will be roaming around, and a screen will be unfolded to the left.
LITTLE GIRL NPC
Oh no, Gramps… More weirdos! They look different to her though, but they’re just as strange!
​
SITTING OLD MAN NPC
Well, well. Long time no see. What have you been up to? Uh, what was your name again?
​
LITTLE GIRL NPC
No, Gramps, this isn’t anyone you know! It’s just some stranger who barged into our house!
​
The party leader pushes aside the screen to reveal Yuffie hiding behind it.
​
YUFFIE
…
​
Yuffie dashes out of the house.
​
SITTIN OLD MAN NPC
Oh, how exciting. You must be friends of my granddaughter?
​
LITTLE GIRL NPC
No, Gramps! And these guys are creepy! They’re rummaging all over the place!
​
If the party leader talks to Man Walking Along Path Toward The Pagoda NPC again…
MAN WALKING ALONG PATH TOWARD THE PAGODA NPC
She’s always getting into trouble. …but, then, so is Lord Godot. Like father, like daughter, I suppose. Now that you mention it, I saw a kid around here earlier that looked a lot like Yuffie… She’s probably up to no good again, rustling about in some corner or other.
​
If the party tries to leave Wutai…
​
BARRETT
Wait a sec! That damn Yuffie’s still in the village! You just gonna leave?
​
AERITH
I don’t think she’s left here. We should stay and look for her.
​
TIFA
Knowing Yuffie, she’s still hidden somewhere in the village. Are you sure we should leave?
​
NANAKI
I don’t think Yuffie’s left the village. Are we still going?
​
VINCENT
It’s unlikely that Yuffie has departed.
CID
You lettin’ that jerk get away!? She’s still in this village!
​
Outside of Turtle’s Lounge, there is a barrel that is wiggling. The party positions themselves to block the escape routes before the party leader opens the barrel. Yuffie jumps out and finds her exits to be cut off. The party surrounds her.
​
CLOUD
You can’t get away this time, Yuffie.
​
TIFA
Time to give up, Yuffie!
​
CID
You lose, Yuffie!!
​
YUFFIE
O-okay. I get it. I’m sorry. You win. I’ll give you back your materia.
​
Yuffie leads them back to her house just as two Shin-Ra Soldiers run into the Turtle’s Lounge.
----------------------------------------------------
The scene changes to inside the Turtle’s Lounge. The Shin-Ra Soldiers run in and approach the Turks at their table. Yrena stands up.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
So, our reports were right—you ARE here on holiday! We’ve finally found him, sir. But we’re going to need the Turk’s help on this mission.
​
Leno takes a drink.
​
LENO
What a drag.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
I… I’m sorry?
​
LENO
We’re on holiday and can’t babysit you right now, okay.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
As I said, w-we’re aware you’re on holiday, but…
​
LENO
If you know, then get lost, yeh? I’m sobering up just listening to you.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
But I thought headquarters gave you the same orders to look for him…?
Leno is silent and takes another drink.
All right! Fine! We’ll capture him without any help from the Turks—you’ll see!
​
The Shin-Ra Soldiers begin to run out. Yrena reaches after them. The soldier who was speaking runs back in.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER
And don’t think headquarters isn’t going to hear about this!!
​
The soldier runs back out. Yrena turns to face Leno.
​
YRENA
Leno… sir… was that a good idea? I mean, is that the way a professional—a Turk—should behave?
​
Leno turns to face Yrena.
​
LENO
Yrena, don’t misunderstand… Those who sacrifice everything for their job aren’t pros… just fools.
Leno goes back to drinking. Yrena turns to Rude.
Rude? Sir?
​
Rude glances at Yrena, then faces away.
​
RUDE
………
​
Yrena shakes her head.
​
YRENA
Well, I don’t buy that! Please excuse me!
​
Yrena stomps out of the Turtle Lounge.
​
RUDE
………
​
LENO
Relax. She’s not a child. Let her have her own way.
----------------------------------------------------
The scene changes to the inside of Yuffie’s house. Yuffie is standing there, twiddling her hands, and facing down at the floor. The party leader is staring at her.
​
YUFFIE
I know. I know. The materia. It’s in a safe place. Follow me.
​
The party follows Yuffie down to her basement. It’s designed to be a training facility. A large purple rug sits in the middle of the room. On the wall, there is a flyer.
​
TURTLE FLYER #6
You haven’t truly been to Wutai until you’ve had a drink at the Turtle Lounge! To find us, keep an eye out for the big pot located at the entrance.
​
YUFFIE
I’ve been hearing ever since I was little… …that Wutai was a lot more bustling and powerful before I was born. And now look at it—just another tourist trap. We were defeated in the war and found peace, but something was lost in the process. Now, Wutai is… That’s why… if I had lots of materia, I know I could…
​
Yuffie starts to cry.
​
CLOUD
Sorry, Yuffie, but I don’t care about the history of Wutai or your feelings. You’ve got our materia, and we want it back. If you give it to us now, we’ll drop the whole thing.
​
TIFA
I’m sorry, Yuffie. I know how you feel, but we need materia too. We can’t just let you have it. Please understand.
​
CID
Taps the back of his head.
Dammit, Yuffie! We haven’t got time to listen to your life story! If you want materia, go get some of your own! That’s the end of it!
​
YUFFIE
I know. I know that as well as anyone… That …sniff… switch. The lever on the left. The materia’s …sniff… there.
​
BARRETT
Ain’t nothin’ we can do about it.
​
AERITH
I feel sorry for her, but…
​
TIFA
Now, the materia…
​
NANAKI
Maybe we were too harsh on her…
​
CAIT
Well… time tae get our materia back.
​
VINCENT
We had no alternative.
​
CID
Hmph. None of our business.
​
The party leader runs to the switches.
​
CLOUD/TIFA/CID
-
Flip the left lever
-
Flip the right lever
Regardless of the lever pulled, a cage comes down on top of the party members, who are standing on the purple rug.
​
BARRETT
W-what the hell’s goin’ on!?
​
AERITH
Eyaaaaah!
​
TIFA
Eyaaaaah!
​
NANAKI
W-what are you doing!?
​
CAIT
W-what’s this!?
VINCENT
!?
CID
Wha…!?
​
YUFFIE
If left lever was flipped…
Ha, ha, ha! Never trust anyone that easily!
If right lever was flipped…
Ha, ha, ha, ha! You should pay attention when others are talking!
​
YUFFIE
The materia’s mine… Tough luck.
Yuffie begins to run up the stairs, but heads back down to face them.
You want your materia? Then you’ll just have to find me, won’t you? Now, that rings a bell… Heh, heh. Rings a bell. I could give you suckers 100 hints like that one, and you’d still never work it out.
Yuffie runs off up the stairs.
Buh byyye!
​
If the party leader tries to leave without releasing the others…
BARRETT
Yo! Get us outta here!
​
TIFA
W-wait! Don’t just leave us here!
​
AERITH
Hey! Don’t just leave us!
​
NANAKI
Help us out of here first!
​
CAIT
Och! Help us oot of here first!
​
VINCENT
Don’t abandon us!
​
CID
Hey! Get us outta here!
​
The party leader flips the lever back, which raises the cage and frees the others. They go after Yuffie. Heading inside the Turtle’s Lounge, Leno and Rude are still drinking at the table, but Yrena is gone.
​
BARKEEPER NPC
Things have been kind of rowdy since you came to town. What’s going on?
​
Special Note: Supposedly, there is extra dialogue from the barkeeper here if all six flyers are looked at. But, for whatever reason, I was unable to access it. Perhaps from not installing the Gamma 3 patch.
​
LENO
… We’re on holiday, which means we won’t be calling on you. That’s not an invitation for a drink in case you’re wondering, so don’t go getting all chummy!
​
RUDE
………
The party heads over to the bell near Godot’s house. The gate to the bell is open. When the party leader rings the bell, a hidden door is revealed. Going inside the secret door, they find Yuffie being abducted by a man wearing black.
​
YUFFIE
Let go! I-SAID-LET-GO! Hey! O-o-o-ooooow! Who do you think you…? Argh! What are you doing!?
​
CLOUD
You’re…!
​
TIFA
Urgh! It’s you!
​
CID
Wh-who the hell’re you!?
​
SINESTER VOICE TEXT
Hihe… …hehe…
The camera pans to reveal Corneo. The black suited man is standing to the left of Corneo, still holding Yuffie.
Hiheee! Hihehehe!
​
CLOUD
Corneo!
​
TIFA
Don Corneo!
​
CID
Whaddya think you’re doin’?
​
Corneo raises his arms above his head.
​
CORNEO
Hihehe! I’ve finally found a new chicky. Two for one, in fact. Hihehehe!
​
CLOUD/TIFA/CID
Two!?
​
The camera pans up further to show a back staircase. On the staircase, another person in black is seen holding Yrena.
​
YRENA
H-hey! Let go of me! You’re gonna regret this!!
​
The men in black run up the stairs.
​
CORNEO
Hiheee! Hihehehe!
​
Corneo follows behind them up the stairs.
​
If the party leader exits out the secret passage that he came from and goes to Godot’s house through the front, they’ll find two Shin-Ra Soldiers blocking the entrance to the water god shrine.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER 1 NPC
Listen up! He has to be around here somewhere! Find him, no matter what!
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER 2 NPC
Salutes.
Yes, sir!
​
Following Corneo up the stairs, three Shin-Ra soldiers come in and block the entrance, cutting Corneo off. Corneo holds his hands above his head.
​
SHIN-RA SOLDIER 1 NPC
There he is! It’s Corneo! Don’t let him get away!
Corneo looks back and forth between the party and the Shin-Ra Soldiers, realizing that he is surrounded.
Charge!
​
The Shin-Ra Soldiers charge at Corneo, who dodges to the side. They end up colliding with and fighting the party instead. After defeating the soldiers, the party finds that the room is empty as Corneo has escaped. While leaving Godot’s house, they spot Leno and Rude running past.
​
LENO
Hmph. Corneo’s still only good at making a run for it, eh?
​
RUDE
Yrena…
​
LENO
Let’s go, Rude. We’ll give him a taste of what the Turks are all about.
Rude takes off ahead.
Then again…
Leno turns to face the party.
…he has Yrena. That could make things a little tricky, yeh? So… yeh.
​
CLOUD
Fine. Corneo’s kidnapped Yuffie, too. And without her, we won’t get our materia back.
​
TIFA
All right. Corneo’s kidnapped Yuffie, too. And without her, there’s no way we’ll get our materia back.
​
CID
Ugh… Guess we have no choice. That rat took off with Yuffie as well. We’ll never get our materia back without her!
​
LENO
Don’t misunderstand. We’re not joining forces. Let’s just think of it as staying out of each other’s way, eh?
​
CLOUD
I’m cool with that. It’ll be a sad day when we cooperate with the Turks. Now, where the heck did he run off to?
​
TIFA
Same here. You’ll forgive me if we don’t shake hands on this one? Now, where has that Corneo run off to?
​
CID
D’ya think!? We’d be the first to refuse a deal with the Turks! Now, where the hell did that sleazeball Corneo run off to?
​
LENO
Heh. I know him almost too well. Thin about it… What place sticks out the most here in Wutai?
​
Leno runs on ahead. Following along the path, if the party talks to Man Walking Along Path Toward The Pagoda NPC.
​
MAN WALKING ALONG PATH TOWARD THE PAGODA NPC
She’s always getting into trouble. …But, then, so is Lord Godot. Like father, like daughter, I suppose. Oh yeah, I saw two girls being carted off to Da Zhao a minute or two ago. They were all tied up in rope… I guess that’s the latest craze? Come to think of it, one of them looked a lot like Yuffie…
​
When talking to Little Kid NPC…
LITTLE KID NPC
Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? That huge statue, standing proud on the mountain, is Da Zhao. I heard you can climb all the way to the top of it, but it’s dangerous. Be real careful if you try that! Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? I saw something! …An old man in flashy clothes running towards Da Zhao. It sounded like he was saying ‘Hiheee’ or something. He was really fast… I couldn’t believe my eyes!
The party heads to Da Zhao, numerous human figures that are carved into a mountainside. They spot Leno and Rude standing at the entrance.
​
LENO
You finally got here. We’re going to split up into two groups. Do what it takes, but don’t endanger Yrena, yeh? And, don’t worry, we won’t do anything to harm Yuffie or whatever she’s called. For now, that is.
​
Leno and Rude run on ahead and then take two different paths that fork off from eachother.
​
If the party follows and talks to Leno…
LENO
We don’t have time to fool around! The enemy’s not gonna wait, yeh!?
Leno runs off.
​
If the party follows and talks to Rude…
RUDE
………
Rude runs off. As the party continues up Da Zhao, Rude will be spotted standing in front of a cave.
RUDE
………
Rude runs in. Following inside, Rude is seen staring at a wall of fire.
RUDE
………
Rude runs off.
​
If the party leader tries to walk through the fire…
CLOUD
Whoa!!
He takes a couple quick steps back.
It’s impossible. Those flames would fry us in an instant.
​
TIFA
Eyaaah!
She takes a couple of steps back.
We can’t get past this!
​
CID
Holy heat!
He takes a couple of steps back.
I love a nice hot bath, but this is ridiculous!
​
If the party goes all the way to the top, they’ll find Leno.
LENO
Thought you’d picked up his awful scent here too, eh? Looks like we were way off. He can’t have run far though.
​
Leno runs off. Eventually, Corneo is found standing on a platform shaped like a hand, while observing Yrena and Yuffie. Yrena and Yuffie are tied, one on each eye, to the face of one to the Da Zhao statues.
​
YUFFIE
LET…ME…GO!!!
​
CORNEO
Hihee! Scrumptious! Delicious! I think I’ve found my new hobby. Which girl will it be? Hihehe…hee…
Corneo runs in front of Yrena.
This one?
​
YRENA
H-hey! I’m a Turk! You’ll never get away with this!!
​
Corneo runs in front of Yuffie.
​
CORNEO
Or maaaybe… THIS one?
​
YUFFIE
Oh, GAWD… If I knew this was gonna happen, I would’ve taken rope escape training more seriously!
​
CORNEO
Hihehehehe!!! I’ve made my choice! My companion for tonight shall be… …This spunky girl!
​
YUFFIE
GROSS-NESS! Don’t mess with me, you old perv! You don’t even have any materia!
​
Corneo starts dancing.
​
CORNEO
Oooooh! I love it when they play hard-to-get! Oh yeah!
​
CLOUD
From off screen.
That’s as far as you go!
​
TIFA
From off screen.
Hold it right there!
​
CID
From off screen.
Hey, hey, hey! Hold it right there!
​
Corneo jumps back to the edge of the platform.
​
CORNEO
What? Who said that!?
​
The party runs onto the screen.
​
YUFFIE
Gah… Cloud!
Or…
Gah…Tifa!
Or…
Gah… That old fart, Cid!
​
CORNEO
Hihee… Long time no see.
​
CLOUD
I’d never forget YOU.
​
TIFA
That fall from the trap really hurt!
​
CID
God might forgive a sleazeball like you, but I won’t!
​
BARRETT
Midgar’s laughing hyena!
​
AERITH
You never learn, do you?
​
TIFA
That fall from the trap really hurt!
​
NANAKI
Let them go!
​
CAIT
Listen, old man, there are better ways o’ hittin’ oan girls, even if ye’r no popular.
​
VINCENT
Not that I care, but your approach leaves much to be desired.
​
CID
God might forgive a sleazeball like you, but I won’t!
​
CORNEO
Silence! None of you can fathom how I’ve suffered since then…
Corneo stops and turns around, pensively.
It’s a long story, but…
​
CLOUD
I’m not interested. Let Yuffie and Yrena go!
​
TIFA
We don’t want to hear it! Just get them down already!
​
CID
I don’t give a crap. You’re gonna let ‘em go, or I’m gonna get rough!
​
Corneo turns back around.
​
CORNEO
You guys are… serious. Oh boy, oh boy! I’m not fooling around either. Why did you have to kill my cute little Abzu? Maybe you should have some fun with my new pet. At least then you might stay out of my way, so I can find a bride! RABZUuuu! Here, boy!
​
The party fights and defeats Rabzu.
​
CORNEO
Wait! Just wait a second!
​
CLOUD
Shut up!
​
TIFA
Say your prayers!
​
CID
You just don’t know when to quit, do ya, ‘Daddy’?
​
CORNEO
Just listen. It won’t take long. Why do you think a scoundrel like me would swallow his pride and plead for his life?
​
CLOUD/TIFA/CID
-
Because he’s ready to die
-
Because he’s sure to win
-
Because he’s clueless
CORNEO (Because he’s ready to die)
Hihi… WRONG!
​
CORNEO (Because he’s sure to win)
Hiheeeeee… Bingo!
​
CORNEO (Because he’s clueless)
Hihee… CLOSE, but no cigar!
​
Corneo pushes a button. Yuffie and Yrena flip upside down.
​
YRENA
Eyaaaah!
​
YUFFIE
Agh! My head feels like it’s about to pop! You’re gonna be sorry!
​
CORNEO
Once I push this button, they’ll fall head over heels, and you know what we’ll have then? SQUASHED TOMATOES!
​
CLOUD
Damn!
​
TIFA
Coward!
​
CID
You’re a nasty piece of work!
​
BARRETT
Don’t dare more that filthy hand of yours!
​
AERITH
Nods at Corneo.
A-all right…
​
TIFA
Coward!
​
NANAKI
Grrrr!
​
CAIT
Ye’r disgustin’!
​
VINCENT
…!
​
CID
You’re a nasty piece of work!
​
CORNEO
If Tifa, Aerith, or both are the party members…
I think I’ll be taking your girl as well.
​
CORNEO
Hiheheheheheeee! Looks like I’ll have the last laugh!
​
From off screen.
​
LENO
No. That would be us, yeh.
​
CORNEO
What? Who said that!?
​
Leno walks on screen.
​
CORNEO
The T-Turks!
​
Everyone turns to face Leno.
​
LENO
You signed your own death warrant when you leaked that information. We’re going to take care of you… personally.
​
CORNEO
H-have it your way, but they’ll be coming with me!
Rude runs in from behind and throws an object at Corneo.
Urgh!
​
Corneo falls over and clings for life to the edge of the platform.
​
LENO
Good timing, Rude.
​
Everyone turns to Rude, who pumps his fist in the air.
​
RUDE
…It’s my job.
​
The party turns back to facing Leno, who walks over to Corneo and puts his foot on Corneo’s hands.
​
LENO
All right, Corneo. Just listen. It won’t take long. Why do you think we went to the trouble of teaming up with these losers to find you, eh?
-
Because we’re ready to die
-
Because we’re sure to win
-
Because we’re clueless
CORNEO
Two! Number two!
​
LENO
Nope. They were all wrong.
​
Leno grinds his foot into Corneo’s hand.
​
CORNEO
Wait! Sto--!
Leno steps back. Corneo lets go and falls.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
​
Leno, watching Corneo’s fall, runs his hand through his hair.
​
LENO
The correct answer was…
​
Rude pumps his fist in the air.
​
RUDE
…Because it’s our job.
​
YRENA
Th-thank you so much, sir! You came to my rescue…
​
Leno turns to face Yrena.
​
LENO
Don’t be such a kiss-ass Yrena. You’re a Turk. You’re one of us, yeh?
​
YRENA
Yes, sir!
​
Special Note: Tifa only says this line if she is party leader.
TIFA
Th-thanks.
​
BARRETT
Never thought we’d be saved by the likes of you.
​
AERITH
Thanks for your help.
​
NANAKI
Let’s just say… you helped us out.
​
CAIT
So ye dae have some good in ye.
​
VINCENT
It would appear that we owe you our gratitude.
​
CID
I, uh… Thanks for helpin’, I guess.
​
RUDE
………
​
Leno’s phone rings and he answers it.
​
LENO
…Yeh, it’s me. Yeh, yeh… I’ll get right on it.
​
YRENA
Was that the company?
​
LENO
Yup. They want us to find Cloud and the gang…
​
Leno puts away his phone and turns toward the party. The party gets into a battle stance. Rude pumps his fist.
​
RUDE
Are we on?
​
Leno runs his hand through his hair.
​
LENO
Nah, we’re off duty today.
​
The party, still facing Leno, relaxes their stances.
​
YUFFIE
I hate to interrupt, but… GET-ME-DOWN!
----------------------------------------------------
The scene changes back to the inside of Yuffie’s house. Yuffie is shuffling from party member to party member, returning all of the materia to them. When done, Yuffie steps back.
​
YUFFIE
Phew. Perfect. Just as it was before.
​
CLOUD
What the…? You’ve put them all over the place.
​
TIFA
Wait. What’s this? You’ve put them all in the wrong place!
​
CID
What the hell is this? They’re all in the wrong damn place!
​
YUFFIE
Huh? Oh, come on. What’s the big deal? Don’t be so picky! Well, that sure was a close one, huh? Yeah, normally I would’ve kicked their butts… BAM, BAM, BAM!
Yuffie begins to punch the air and then faces away from the group.
That Corneo guy’s unbelievable.
Behind her back, the party exchanges looks and nods at one another.
I’d rather have to deal with my dad than him.
The party begins to walk out the door.
Oh, and those Turk guys. I guess they aren’t all bad, right? At least you got the materia back safe and sound. Now, let’s get back to our journey and…
Yuffie turns around and notices that the others have left.
…Hey! W-wait!
She runs into her room and grabs something.
Oh, all right. You can have this one back, too.
She runs back into the living room.
Here… Look! Look!
Yuffie holds the object in the air.
Ta-daaa!!
Obtained MP Absorb materia!
​
YUFFIE
Standing there. Still holding the object in the air.
…
She runs out the door after the party.
Come on! PLEASE! Well, I don’t care what you say! I’m coming with you! And… don’t expect me to slip up next time…
----------------------------------------------------
The party is back in the open world. If they return to Wutai, Yuffie can now climb the pagoda.
​
WOMAN IN MAROON BY THE RIVER NPC
Materia and the life of man are one and the same; they both must return to the ocean of life.
​
If the party enters the Weapon’s Store…
MAN IN STORE NPC
I’m terribly sorry about before. Yuffie stopped me from selling anything to you. But you’ve worked things out now, correct? Well, then, buy away!
​
WEAPONS STOREKEEPER NPC
Hello, and welcome! We’ve got some of the finest blades, direct from the furnace. So, strike while the iron’s hot!
​
Back outside, if the party leader talks to the Little Kid NPC that is running around the building…
​
LITTLE KID NPC
Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? That huge statue, standing proud on the mountain, is Da Zhao. I heard you can climb all the way to the top of it, but it’s dangerous. Be real careful if you try that! Why a statue of Da Zhao? Hey! Hey! Guess what!? Guess what!? I… don’t know!
​
Yuffie and the party head to the pagoda.
​
If Yuffie is in the party and the group try to go up to the second floor without fighting…
GORKY
Halt! Miss Yuffie, you cannot climb to the second floor until you have defeated me.
​
If the group talks to Gorky…
GORKY
Ah, Miss Yuffie. Will you be climbing the Pagoda of the Five Masters?
​
YUFFIE
-
I guess so
-
You must be joking! (If selected, nothing happens.)
GORKY (I guess so)
Then I, Gorky, the Master of Power, will be your opponent on the first floor.
​
A kid runs down the stairs from the second floor.
​
SHAKE
Hi! They call me Shake. I’m gonna be watchin’ your battle with Gorky.
​
GORKY
Have at you!
Yuffie and Gorky make their way to the battle space in the middle of the room. The others stand off to the side to watch.
Power form!
​
Gorky transforms into a gargoyle like beast and begins to fight Yuffie.
​
If Yuffie loses the fight…
GORKY
If I may pass comment? I feel further training is in order. That was most disappointing.
​
Shake runs to the entryway that leads to the bottom of the stairs and blocks it.
​
SHAKE
Nope! You have to beat Gorky first. Stop makin’ a mockery of our pagoda!
​
YUFFIE
Shaddup! Shaddup! SHADDUP!
​
If Yuffie wins the fight...
GORKY
It seems I found defeat, Miss Yuffie…
​
YUFFIE
Obviously!
​
SHAKE
Hmm, I thought you were just a crazy tomboy, but you handled yourself pretty good. Let’s see how you do on the next floor…
​
Shake runs upstairs.
​
If the party leaves and comes back without Yuffie…
GORKY
Only those with the utmost courage could have stolen Miss Yuffie’s heart.
​
If the party goes upastairs and talks to Shake without Yuffie…
SHAKE
You don’t belong here! The Pagoda of the Five Masters is only for people trained in the martial arts of Wutai!
​
If Yuffie is with the party and they try to head upstairs without talking to Shake…
SHAKE
Hey! Hey! Don’t ignore me!
​
YUFFIE
Who’s next?
​
SHAKE
You blind? I’m right here!
​
YUFFIE
Huh? A puny brat is my opponent? Hah! You know nothin’! I’m way stronger than some dumb, little girl!
​
YUFFIE
W-what did you just say!?
​
SHAKE
Ha, ha… Now who’s the brat? Don’t act all big ‘til ya can get past me, the Master of Speed!
​
YUFFIE
I’ll show ya!
​
SHAKE
Well, you have the fire of an adult. Got the guts to go with it?
​
YUFFIE
-
Enough yappin’! Let’s fight!
-
I’ll forgive you… this time.
CHEKHOV (Enough yappin’! Let’s fight!)
So… it would appear that Gorky has been defeated at last?
​
SHAKE (I’ll forgive you… this time.)
So, when it comes down to it, you’re all mouth. Just as I thought… a big, dumb brat!
​
If the option to fight was selected, after speaking, Chekhov will come down the stairs.
CHEKHOV
Very well. I, Chekhov, shall witness this battle.
​
SHAKE
Here we go, brat… Speed form!
​
Shake jumps and transforms into a penguin like creature. He begins to fight Yuffie.
​
If Yuffie loses the battle…
SHAKE
Hahaha! BRAT, BRAT, BRAT!
​
Chekhov walks to the entryway that leads to the bottom of the stairs and blocks it.
​
CHEKHOV
If you desire entry to the next floor, you will have to defeat Shake.
​
YUFFIE
Shaddup! Shaddup! SHADDUP!
​
If Yuffie wins the battle…
SHAKE
Whoooa! Not bad!
​
YUFFIE
Obviously!
​
CHEKHOV
Ho, ho, ho! It is long since I was tested. How I have ached for this day…
​
Chekhov walks upstairs.
​
If the party leaves and comes back without Yuffie…
SHAKE
You guys are a buncha amateurs compared to me!
​
If the party goes upastairs and talks to Chekhov without Yuffie…
CHEKHOV
I have nothing to discuss with you.
​
If Yuffie is with the party and they try to head upstairs without talking to Chekhov…
CHEKHOV
Do not make light of me in thinking you may pass through here unnoticed.
​
If Yuffie and the group talk to Chekhov, Staniv will come down the stairs.
STANIV
So… Shake hath met defeat. Chekhov, how long hast thou waited?
​
Staniv walks over to the side of the room to watch the fight.
​
CHEKHOV
A shame her luck must end here. Staniv, you are to keep watch.
​
YUFFIE
Keep dreaming. I’ll show you that youth is strength!
​
CHEKHOV
Little girl… foolish words invite nasty burns.
​
YUFFIE
-
Bring it on! I’m a pyromaniac!
-
I don’t fight old ladies
CHEKHOV (Bring it on! I’m a pyromaniac!)
Ho, ho, ho! Let us see how well that impudence serves you after a battle with the Master of Magic.
​
CHEKHOV (I don’t fight old ladies)
Ho, ho, ho! The impudence you would expect from a child in need of weaning.
​
STANIV
Chekhov awaits thee.
​
Staniv walks to the entryway that leads to the bottom of the stairs and blocks it.
​
If the option to fight was selected, after speaking, Chekhov will take a few steps forward to the battle area.
CHEKHOV
Magic form!
​
Chekhov transforms into a creature with four wiggly arms.
​
If Yuffie loses the fight…
CHEKHOV
Ho, ho, ho! What could an immature girl have to teach me?
​
STANIV
Be this the potential of man?
​
Staniv walks to the entryway that leads to the bottom of the stairs and blocks it.
​
YUFFIE
Shaddup! Shaddup! SHADDUP!
​
If Yuffie wins the fight…
CHEKHOV
Y-you defeated my techniques…
​
YUFFIE
Obviously!
​
STANIV
Intriguing! Much time has passed since a display of my true power.
​
Staniv walks upstairs.
​
If the party leaves and comes back without Yuffie…
CHEKHOV
Having that girl as a companion must prove tiring?
​
If the party goes upastairs and talks to Staniv without Yuffie…
STANIV
We shall not have this audience without Miss Yuffie.
​
If Yuffie is with the party and they try to head upstairs without talking to Staniv, Staniv will make a karate chop like motion in the air.
STANIV
Ha!
​
The entrance to the upstairs stairway closes.
​
STANIV
Up to the fourth level, it is our tradition that a Master bear witness to the battle below. Verily, this should be considered the summit. That is to say, no man hath defeated me—the Master of Martial Arts. Wouldst thou still make the challenge, I wonder?
​
YUFFIE
-
You betcha!
-
Pass! PASS!
STANIV (You betcha!)
Thou pleases me. Now, observe…
​
STANIV (Pass! PASS!)
Thou hast come far. But only through struggle wilt thou find verity.
​
If the option to fight was selected, Staniv will take a few steps forward into the room…
STANIV
Martial form!
​
He transforms into a creature who swings around a mace like weapon and begins to battle Yuffie.
​
If Yuffie loses the fight…
STANIV
Woe! My true power must remain in shadow…
​
YUFFIE
Shaddup! Shaddup! SHADDUP!
​
If Yuffie wins the fight…
STANIV
How? How can this be!?
​
The doors to the upper floor open.
​
YUFFIE
Obviously!
​
Gorky walks into the room from the bottom floor.
​
GORKY
Splendid! It’s hard to believe your skills have reached this level…
​
Shake runs into the room from the second floor.
​
SHAKE
Haha! Maybe you’re not the brat I thought you were.
​
Chekhov walks into the room from the third floor.
​
CHEKHOV
Naturally. Even I met defeat.
​
STANIV
Thou wilt be observed by the four of us on the most high. Let us proceed to our audience with the gentleman above.
​
Staniv goes upstairs and the others follow. Upstairs on the fifth floor, Godot is standing near the middle. The other four masters are standing along the edge, ready to observe.
​
If the party leaves and comes in later without Yuffie in the party…
GODOT
Oh. Not bad at all.
​
If Yuffie is in the party when they follow upstairs.
GORKY
…
​
SHAKE
Shhh!
​
CHEKHOV
…
​
STANIV
…
​
Once Yuffie and group talk to Godot…
YUFFIE
D-dad!?
​
GODOT
Welcome, Yuffie.
​
YUFFIE
Why? Why the heck are you…?
​
Godot flexes and then goes into a martial arts stance.
​
GODOT
You will question me only with your techniques! Do not hold back. Come at me as though you mean to kill me! If you do not, I will kill you!
​
YUFFIE
W-wait!
​
Godot runs into the middle of the room.
​
GODOT
Prepare yourself! OMNI FORM!
​
He takes a stance and transforms into a giant creature with three faces. He then fights Yuffie.
​
If Yuffie loses the fight, she will be laid out on the floor while Godot flexes…
YUFFIE
Dammit!
​
GODOT
What in heaven’s name…? Come back when you have improved your techniques!
​
When Yuffie tries again…
YUFFIE
I’ll show ya this time, you lazy, old fraud!
​
Godot flexes.
​
GODOT
Oh… Have you improved at all? Then come at me with all you have… OMNI FORM!
​
Godot transforms into a giant creature with three faces. He then fights Yuffie. After Yuffie wins the battle, both lie on the floor, panting.
​
YUFFIE
…heave…heave…
​
GODOT
…huff…puff…
​
YUFFIE
Not… bad… P…Pops.
​
GODOT
You too… have… …improved.
​
YUFFIE
Ha… Haha…
​
GODOT
Heh, heh…
​
Yuffie starts laughing harder.
​
YUFFIE
Ha, ha, ha!
​
Godot joins her in laughing.
​
GODOT
Wa, ha, ha, ha, ha!
​
The screen fades to black. When it changes back, Yuffie and Godot are up off of the floor.
​
GODOT
It is time I gave this to you, Yuffie… The materia of the Water God.
​
Godot tosses the materia at Yuffie. Obtained Leviathan materia!
​
STANIV
But, Lord Godot… He who conquers the Pagoda of the Five Masters and receives the materia of the Water God… It is our tradition for that person to remain here as the new master.
​
YUFFIE
TRADITION, TRADITION, TRADITION… I’m sick of hearing that word! It’s so stupid!
​
GORKY
You forget yourself, Miss Yuffie!
​
YUFFIE
So, what about all of you with your limited power? Are you satisfied being cooped up in this pagoda all day long?
​
GODOT
Yuffie!
​
YUFFIE
You too, dad! All because you lost the war! Just look at what you’ve done to Wutai!
​
CHEKHOV
What does she mean?
​
YUFFIE
You’ve turned Wutai into a cheesy resort town peddling to tourists. You should be ashamed! The Da Zhao statue and the water god weep!!
​
GODOT
…
​
SHAKE
Pity… I was right about her after all.
​
YUFFIE
W-what did you say!?
​
GODOT
Yuffie… Forgive me. It is my fault.
​
GORKY
What!? Lord Godot!
​
GODOT
Losing the war… turning Wutai into this. It was all my doing.
​
CHEKHOV
Lord Godot!
​
GODOT
Silence! All of you! Yuffie… I was like you before I was forced to know war. But, after losing, I began to think. Is strength a tool we use to defeat our enemies… …or merely a means to flaunt our egos? Those who rattle their sabres invite more of the same—that is what leads to war. And if that is so… are we no better than Shin-Ra?
​
YUFFIE
…
​
GODOT
I understand that you seek out materia for the good of Wutai. But the reason I sealed me power away was also for Wutai. I understand now… both are necessary. Power without will is meaningless. And will without power is equally so.
​
STANIV
Lord Godot…
​
Godot faces the party leader.
​
GODOT
You there. Please allow my daughter to accompany you. You have both the will—and the power!
​
BARRETT
Fine. But I don’t want no more funny business with my materia… Got it!?
​
TIFA
After hearing that, how can we say no?
​
AERITH
All right. We’ll take good care of your daughter…
​
NANAKI
As long as she doesn’t cause trouble again!
​
CAIT
W-well, since ye insist, ah guess we cannae refuse.
​
VINCENT
Hmph. She may come along if she so wishes.
​
CID
Well, with ol’ Cid at the helm, you can put your mind at ease!
​
CLOUD
Shrugs.
I guess we do have the will and the power… Anyway, she can come with us.
​
TIFA
Crosses her arms in a thinking pose.
After hearing that, how can we say no?
​
CID
Well, with ol’ Cid at the helm, you can put you mind at ease!
​
GODOT
Go, Yuffie… …so that the true power of Wutai may flourish!
​
Yuffie walks over to Godot.
​
YUFFIE
Dad…
​
GODOT
I will lead the Five Masters until your return. Go! And come back alive!
​
YUFFIE
… ……Obviously!
​
Everyone files out of the room except for Yuffie and Godot. As Yuffie begins to follow them…
GODOT
Hold.
​
Godot runs over and begins whispering in Yuffie’s ear.
​
GODOT
The materia those people have in their possession… Once the battle is over, will they still have need of it?
​
YUFFIE
Dad!!
​
GODOT
Go! Fight to the bitter end! And then return home… …with the materia!
​
He places his hand on Yuffie’s shoulder. She begins to laugh.
​
YUFFIE
Hehehe… Count on it!
​
She runs down the stairs after the others. Afterwards, the party can talk to the five masters again. Each of whom are back on their respective floor level of the pagoda.
​
On the first floor…
GORKY
Miss Yuffie, we pray for your continued fortune in battle.
If Yuffie is not in the party when speaking to Gorky…
Oh, it is you! How fares Miss Yuffie?
​
On the second floor…
SHAKE
I got told there’s a rare item in an underwater pipe somewhere… They said some moster has it, but that you can’t just steal the item.
If Yuffie is not in the party when speaking to Shake…
Has that little brat grown up yet?
​
On the third floor…
CHEKHOV
Do not bring shame on the good name of Wutai. Go now… and fight well.
If Yuffie is not in the party when speaking to Chekhov…
That girl is incapable of change. A long toil awaits you.
​
On the fourth floor…
STANIV
Miss Yuffie, thy feelings for Wutai are shared by Lord Godot. Please forget that not.
If Yuffie is not in the party when speaking to Staniv…
Please look after Miss Yuffie.
​
On the fifth floor…
GODOT
Go! Fight to the bitter end! And return with the… …Uh… …And return safe and sound!
If Yuffie is not in the party when speaking to Godot…
Please take good care of that ma… …MADAM! Yes, uh, take care of that young madam…

The party leaves Wutai and continues on their journey.
