- Celes: I'm a general, not some opera floozy!
- Gau: Come on, Mr. Thou!
- Sabin: I told you! Mr. Thou's that one, over there!
- Sabin: Kefka! Wait!
- Kefka: Wait he says! Do I look like a waiter?
- Kefka: You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet!
- Kefka: Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? These things... I'm going to destroy!
- Celes: You want to live in this world the way it is? No? Then do something about it!
- Kefka: Run, run, or you'll be well done!
- Shadow: In this world, there are many like me who have killed their emotions. Don't forget that.
- Terra: But I want to know what love is now!
- Kefka: There's nothing like the sound of hundreds of voices screaming in unison.
- Kefka: I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence!
- Cyan: The world before the fall, Lovely is the light of dawn, Noble is the heart of man...
- Terra: It's not the result of one's life that's important. It's the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life... and love. It's enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring.
- Kefka: I don't like this little hamlet. Burn it!
- Kefka: Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of nowhere? These recon jobs are the pits!
- [kneels down, then stands up]
- Kefka: [to a couple of soldiers who are with him] Ahem! There's *sand* on my boots.
- Kefka: Oh, goody, it's general Celes, the traitor! This'll be fun!
- Kefka: Triad! Your first victim has stepped forward! Show this useless old man your true power!
- Kefka: [after killing Emperor Ghestahl with the Waring Triad] Oh dear... Well, I guess I was a bit hasty in calling you a useless old man before... NOW you're useless!
- Kefka: They'll pay for this...
- Setzer: My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!
- Locke: [after mugging a merchant for his clothes] It's a little tight, but the price was right.
- Strago: No! A 'kid' like me doesn't know the meaning of defeat!
- Sabin: You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?
- Locke: I *prefer* the term treasure hunting!
- Arvis: Ha! Semantic nonsense!
- Locke: There's a *huge* difference!
- Edgar: Please, relax while you're here. It's not in my blood to harm a lady.
- Terra: Look, why are you helping me? Is it because of my... abilities?
- Edgar: I'll give you 3 reasons: First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second... I'm dying to know if I'm your type... I guess your... abilities... would be a distant 3rd.
- Terra: What's with you, anyway?
- Edgar: Guess my technique's getting a bit rusty...
- Terra: Hmm... I suppose a normal girl would have found him dashing. But I'm hardly... normal...
- Edgar: There're more girls here than grains of sand out there. I can't keep track of 'em all!
- Vargas: Fate made us train together, and fate will send you to your doom!
- Shadow: Leave us. The dog eats strangers...
- [first lines]
- Narrator: Long ago, the War of Magi reduced the world to a scorched wasteland, and magic simply ceased to exist. 1,000 years have passed... Iron, gunpowder, and steam engines have been rediscovered, and high technology reigns... But there are some who would enslave the world by reviving the dread destructive force known as "magic". Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?
- Emperor Gestahl: We stand on the brink of a major breakthrough! In the days to come, we'll witness a total revival of magic! It is our destiny, and ours alone, to take this mystic force and claim what is rightfully ours! With our new-found power, nothing can stand in our way!
- Edgar: What brings Kefka, humble servant of Emperor Gestahl, into our lowly presence?
- Kefka: A girl of no importance recently escaped from us. We heard she found refuge here...
- Edgar: Hmm... this wouldn't have anything to do with this "witch" everyone's been whispering about, wouldn't it?
- Kefka: Lies! She... merely stole something of minor value. Is she here?
- Edgar: That's a tough one! You see, there're more girls here then grains of sand out there. I can't keep track of 'em all!
- Kefka: Son of a submariner!
- Edgar: Please, relax while you're here. It's not in my blood to harm a lady.
- Terra: Look, why are you helping me? Is it because of my... abilities?
- Edgar: I'll give you three reasons: First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second... I'm dying to know if I'm your type... I guess you're... abilities... would be a distant 3rd.
- Terra: What's with you, anyway?
- Edgar: Guess my technique's getting a bit rusty...
- [leaves]
- Terra: Hmm... I suppose a normal girl would have found him dashing. But I'm hardly... normal...
- Gau: Thou thou! Thou thou! Thou thou! Thou thou!
- [Cyan turns away]
- Gau: Mr. Thou! You angry... me? Mr. Thou! You angry... me?
- Sabin: Listen, his family was just...
- Gau: Me understand. Me sorry. Me not a bad person.
- Terra: [seeing Sabin for the first time] Brother? At first glance, I thought he was some bodybuilder who had strayed from his gym...
- Sabin: I'll take that as a compliment.
- Ziegfried: Ah! The ox bellows!
- Ziegfried: If I were you, I'd take gramps here and run.
- Locke: That's treasure hunter!
- Arvis: Semantic nonsense.
- Locke: There's a *huge* difference!
- Cyan: I am Cyan, the retainer to the king of Doma. I am your worst nightmare.
- Sabin: Thou art such a pain in the - Confound it, I'm starting to talk like you!
- Locke: Call me a treasure hunter or I'll rip your lungs out!
- Celes: General Leo...
- [places flowers on his grave]
- Celes: People only seem to want power. Do they really want to be like me? I... I wanted to learn so much more from you...
- Man in Narshe: Narshe is a neutral city. We want no war here. But that #@%!* empire won't listen.
