Setting Out:

Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.

Ciaran: So this is a different world from the one we live in?
Materia: That is correct.
Materia: And I wish for you to fight as one of my warriors.
Ciaran: Fight? But I already have work to do...
Materia: You possess a strong will.
Materia: You held fast to your memories on your long journey. We need that will.
Ciaran: There are lots of strong people out there. Does it have to be me?
Materia: ...The crystal guided you to me.
Ciaran: The crystal...?
Materia: A different one from that in your world. It is one that wishes for the warriors' respite.
Materia: We, the gods, created this world as a land of respite...
Materia: It was once a place where battle-weary warriors from other worlds could rest.
Materia: I took away their tragic memories to give them peace of mind.
Ciaran: You took away...their memories?
Materia: I once thought depriving them of such painful memories would bring them tranquility.
Materia: But reality was different. They now seek those lost memories.
Materia: They claim that, no matter how painful those memories are, they are what strengthen their wills.
Ciaran: ...I feel the same way. You were mistaken, Materia.
Materia: I couldn't understand... But I regret what I did.
Ciaran: You can't hold on to all of your memories. Some spill out here and there.
Ciaran: But having them stolen is...sad.
Materia: This world is no longer one of respite. It is being threatened by monsters and those harboring ill will.
Materia: Please, lend us your strength.
Materia: Your journey has been unlike the others.
Materia: Those experiences will be a new guiding light to my warriors.
Ciaran: Alright. I'll give it my best shot.
Ciaran: I'm nothing like those heroes that appear in tales, so there might not be much that I can do...
Ciaran: But this is a journey of hope for the future?
Ciaran: If that's what they're traveling for, then I hope I can help them.

Pleasant Meetings:

Mog: Kupo! I sense a new friend over that way!
Ciaran: Hey there!

(Ciaran arrives)

Ciaran: Thanks for finding me. I thought I was lost.
Warrior of Light: Are you one of Materia's warriors, too?
Ciaran: Seems that way.
Ciaran: My name's Ciaran. Materia told me to come here.
Yuri: Hey, Chelinka. He looks like a Clavat, doesn't he?
Chelinka: I think you're right, Yuri.
Layle: So we're the same tribe. He doesn't look like a bad guy to me.
Rem: A friend of yours?
Yuri: No. But he might come from a similar world to ours.
Layle: Just like me and these twins here. Our worlds have some tribes in common.
Ciaran: So you're also Clavats. What a relief... I thought I'd be the only one.
Yuri: Maybe from our past or our future...somewhere in the infinite possibilities, no doubt you're out there somewhere.
Rem: Just hearing "Clavats" is enough to put your mind at ease?
Chelinka: As the tribes go, Clavats are said to have very peaceful temperaments.
Yuri: We're often called the tribe of unity and friendship.
Sazh: No kidding. That apply to you, too?
Layle: Can't say. I'm just one Clavat.
Layle: There are plenty of argumentative ones, short-tempered ones...
Yuri: Right. Rather than focusing on tribes, it's more important to look at the way we each live our lives.
Chelinka: There are bad Clavats out there, and lots of kind and warmhearted people from other tribes.
Layle: Exactly. And you can usually tell just by looking if a Clavat is up to no good. And he doesn't look it at all.
Yuri: If anything, he's got good-guy vibes just gushing outta everywhere!
Chelinka: I know what you want to say, Yuri, but pick your words better...
Warrior of Light: Very well. We believe you. Let us fight together to save the future.
Ciaran: Oh, um... Gotcha, so it is that kind of journey.
Ciaran: It might be some time until I get the hang of things. I'll take it slow for now.
Sazh: Easy-going fella.
Rem: Hehe. But it's good to have someone like that around.
Warrior of Light: Indeed. I can tell that there is a comforting warmth about you.
Layle: You seem pretty skilled. You must have plenty of experience under your belt.
Ciaran: I don't know... I've spent some time on the road, but I don't know if that makes me "skilled."
Ciaran: Still, I'll do what I can. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
Yuri: Great! Welcome to the team!
Sazh: I can't believe Materia's dragging more kids into this fight.
Layle: Kid? He's older than me.
Sazh: Wh-what!?
Sazh: Geez, my bad. I thought I could tell, but I guess it's different in other worlds.
Ciaran: Don't worry about it. There are lots of things I don't understand, either.
Ciaran: I hope you'll all take your time telling me about yourselves, too.

Memories:

Cecil: What did you hear from Materia, Ciaran?
Ciaran: Why do you ask?
Cecil: We are warriors that were summoned by Materia, but we no longer move according to her orders.
Cecil: Her way of thinking and ours are somewhat different, so we want to know what's on her mind.
Ciaran: I heard that you're confronting the memories that you lost.
Tidus: We forgot a lot of important things, so we're trying to get them back.
Ace: ...Those who've forgotten can't even discern what they've lost.
Ashe: ...Yes. I...may not have all my memories either.
Vivi: It's sad to think of forgetting something, so we're taking our memories back little by little.
Ciaran: I see... Hmm...
Ciaran: It seemed like a part of Materia was afraid of you facing your memories.
Ciaran: She seemed unsure if losing them was a bad thing, or if those painful memories would weigh you down too much.
Ciaran: I think I was chosen because of that.
Vivi: Really? Why?
Ciaran: There were beings in my world who ate memories.
Tidus: Ate memories!? That's terrible...
Ciaran: ...But people eventually forget things, don't they?
Ciaran: They would feed off of people's fading memories as part of the world's natural cycle.
Ciaran: One lost control and spread a lot of unhappiness, but forgetting is part of life.
Ciaran: You can't hold onto every single memory. It's natural to forget things.
Ace: You mean that memories can sometimes be a burden...
Ciaran: One of those beings taught me that memories are like a pack we carry into the future.
Ciaran: If it becomes too heavy, it can weigh you down.
Ciaran: If it's too light, your journey will end before you've gained anything.
Ciaran: A traveler's journey into the future nurtures his or her heart, and becomes a source of new life.
Ashe: Memories can be a burden... I wonder if that is the case for me...
Cecil: There may come a day when I can also think that way, that it's natural to forget some things...
Ace: ...We believe that forgetting is a divine blessing. That for everyone else, memories are something they dwell on trying not to forget.
Ciaran: I heard a bit about your world and your crystal...
Ciaran: But I can't give you answers. What's right probably depends on the world you're in.
Ciaran: But if you feel warmth from your memories, I think you should cherish them.
Ciaran: Even if you forget a lot of things, having warm memories close to your heart is what makes a journey wonderful.
Ace: Warm memories...close to my heart...
Ace: I see... Even if the future is uncertain, they'll light the way.
Ciaran: No matter what memories you have, you're on a journey with hope for the future, right?
Cecil: Right. Without getting caught up in the past...we believe that there is light in the future.
Ciaran: Then what's say we get a move on?
Ciaran: Even if the light is faint, you'll reach your destination as long as you keep going forward.
