Report (Dissidia 012)

Reports are a series of unlockable reports and side stories in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy that become available after the player has completed certain requirements.

Some lines in the reports are highlighted and can be selected. When selected, a cut scene or a series of battles is triggered. The cut scenes show side stories to the main storyline. Battles are sometimes related to the side story, and can consist of a number of rounds. There is no interruption between rounds, so any preparation to the player's character must be made beforehand.

The first seven reports contain contents of the Cosmos Reports from Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Report 1

Report 1 is unlocked by completing Chapter 1 of Treachery of the Gods. The accompanying side story features Kuja and takes place before chapter 1.

He was so small, it was hard to imagine he

was born with such immense powers within.

The state was supposed to take care of him,

but we decided to adopt and raise him

as our own.

One look into those innocent eyes,

anyone would have made the same choice.

We were painfully aware that he was not ours,

but that he belonged to the state. He would be

taken away from us one day, and we knew why.

My husband was having doubts about his latest

assignment. His other inventions—levistones,

airships—enriched people's lives. But not this one.

This was a child, and a tool for war.^[1]

But calamity was upon us. The state had to arm

itself against neighboring states who had

weapons such as Omega and summonable monsters.

He had no choice but to continue his research

in order to protect our peace.

The child was beginning to learn words,

which he tried so hard to string together

in order to communicate with us.

He called me Mama, and my husband Papa.

He never doubted the love between us.

The child made us smile! As we lived in fear

under the threat of war, he gave us such great

joy, however fleeting it was destined to be.

Indeed, our happiness was short-lived.

War had begun.

The child was taken and isolated from us by

the military, which decided to use him early

to put a swift end to the war.

He had grown by then, and more than adequate as

as weapon. The problem was not with his powers.

The problem was he didn't follow military orders.

I was soon detained by emissaries of the state.

The military decided to depend on his "mother,"

figuring he would have to follow my orders.

The child complied...and sealed Omega and the

other monsters. Dwellings in the neighboring state

were reduced to smoldering rubble and ash...

What I saw in the aftermath was hell itself.

...I had no alternative.

If he were not to fulfill his destiny as a weapon,

he would be executed. I had to follow the

military's orders in order to save the child.

Even at the cost of ruining countless other

lives, I desperately wanted to save him.

They wanted my cooperation a second time, but

I resisted, My husband and I were branded as

traitors and incarcerated deep underground.

So many lives lost because of me...

I was overcome with grief

And then I heard about another research

project begun by the military.

The research was on creating similitudes.

The state was seeking to create a copy of me to

control the child according to their will and

repeat the tragedy.

The child's immense powers must have been

worth their efforts.

But I could not accept it

His was a synthetic life, but a life nonetheless!

Why must he alone have to suffer so?

Why must he repeat destruction time and again

Time was running out. I decided to take action

before their research was complete.

We were incarcerated in a cave where
many monsters roamed.

I studied the monster's behavior and used them

to our advantage to break out with my husband.

Running as fugitives, we managed to arrive at the

laboratory where the child was supposed to be kept.

What we found was a similitude of me in the

making...and the child who was no longer himself.

He was emaciated beyond recognition.

And I saw wisps of hatred seething
deep inside his empty eyes.

We had no time to explain much. I only told

him briefly about our situation, and urged him

to join us in our escape.

Just as my husband and I were about to escape

with the child in tow, I was caught by soldiers

and shot

In that instant, I think I heard the

child's sad cry from far away.

But at the same time, my heart was engulfed

by a bad premonition as the color of hatred

in his eyes grew deeper...

I was right

In front of the child was born a tiny rip in the

time-space continuum that quickly grew to an

immense shadow that swallowed everything...

And that is where I lost consciousness

When I came to, the laboratory was in ruins.

The child and my husband were nowhere to be seen.

We originate from a tribe that inherits memories

through ceremony. The knowledge and skills in my

husband were inherited as well.

I had intended to use the teleportation device as

part of our escape, but decided to use it to

return to my tribe. I felt the need to pass on

my memories even if I were to die there and then.

I arrived in the town on the Hawk's Wing, where

my tribe still lived in the middle of a forest.

They were trying to use one of my husband's

levistones to elevate the whole town in order to

escape the shadow that appeared so suddenly.

I told them my plight, and they understood

"So what you just told is all

memory you have inherited?"

Yes.

Memory succession is a dying art

In order to preserve this memory for a

longer time, I thought it best to leave it

in writing.

"Do you think there is any relation between

your memory and the Four Fiends wreaking

havoc on our world now?"

That, I cannot say with any certainty.

But there are curious similarities

as to where things happened.

Where the rip in time-space occurred,

and where the Four Fiends now dwell...

The scenery in both locations match

with what remain in my memory.

"Thank you for sharing your story.

it shall be passed on as recorded."

Lukahn, please let me ask you one question

before we finish.

The Warrior of Light, the one you predicted

would save the world from this calamity

with crystal in hand, is he really coming?

"I am called an oracle, but I am

actually a historian."

"History must always converge. I feel faint

One Man's Monologue

I heard a voice speak to me as I laid

dying-and that voice was my own.

My words were the only clues I had of the

realm in which I found myself-in which I

assumed time has been frozen for 2000 years.

The life of endless solitude felt like a

nightmare from which there is no waking.

In the present, I no longer have an interest

in carrying my future self back to the past.

But 2000 years is excruciatingly long.

As I imagined the hatred building inside me

that would eventually and inevitably lead to

make an irreparable mistake, all I could do

was cower in fear.

As I wandered, I happened upon a man who had

lost sight of what to protect-and learned that

this realm was not 2000 years in the past.

With the man was a woman without warmth,

and a giant beast curled into a ball.

The beast spoke; he was struggling to

deny his own destructive nature.

I could not help but reach out to him.

I often think of the start of the cycle.

I as Chaos summon me from the future;

once summoned, I become Chaos.

This cursed cycle could not have started unless

one other than myself carried me to the past.

I wonder if the truth will ever be revealed.

The beast often spoke of whence he came-of

ships that used wind to sail the skies, of

precision machines that moved like humans.

His stories were considered "lore" in my realm.

Intrigued, we told one another about ourselves

and imagined where we would return.

I shall give a name to this beast one day.

Record of Experiments -01-

• Record 000

Agreed on pact with Shinryu.

Gave my physical being for everlasting soul.

Chaos and Cosmos also seemed to have reached

respective agreements. Their souls are now

worthy of gods.

• Record 001

Cosmos summons memories.

Begins using them as her pawns.

Chaos follows suit.

One possesses mind of extreme strength.

Such fortitude leaves one puzzled...

Possible deep connection to Shinryu?

• Record 002

The summoned, debilitated though battle,

are purified by Shinryu.

Their memories are returned to the state

of when they were first summoned.

Three damaged bodies, unable to withstand

purification, have perished.

Side Story: Hope Beyond

Record of Experiments -02-

• Record 003

The door to the Rift made its mark in this

realm by leaving gateways to other realms.

Some among the summoned have begun taking

control of these gateways.

Shinryu attracts the gateways, which in turn

are influenced by memories in the realms.

• Record 004

A question I have never entertained

before has now seized my mind.

Is my memory unclouded?

There is an abundance of ore in this realm.

It may be worth the effort to create

another manikin as perfect as Cosmos.

• Record 005

Attempts at embedding my own memories into

manikins fail.

Like the "failures" in my old experiments,

they do not retain human likeness.

No complete memory transplant could be done.

Side Story: If We're like Them

The Onion Knight wonders about the manikins' origins and questions his own memories.

What Chaos-the weapon born amidst the

war-brought upon the world was not peace,

but fear, despair ...and more warfare.

Chaos would later lose someone

precious before he was locked into an unknown world.

There he was given another order: to

create a path to the door to the Rift.

Through countless battles,

Chaos gained immense strength.

But the path was not to be found.

The scientist Cid-who had originally

forced him into the cycle-was losing

hope of ever finding his way home.

Then we were shown new hope-not from

gods, but from powerless pawns.

In the midst of battle, pawns of discord discovered a door where the experimental "failures" had been discarded in the past. They used the door to their advantage.

Pawns of harmony were pushed to the brink of extinction in the struggle against these "failures."

But they did not give up.

The few pawns that had remaining strength destroyed the door to the Rift and sent the "failures" to oblivion.

That was the path that led to the Rift.

Cid was now convinced that all hope was now lost.

But he was wrong from the start—ever since he was a scientist.

For force never resolves anything. Hope is realized not through force, but through passion, determination, and faith.

As this realm vanishes, I pray—that the warriors return to where they belong...

When he was still a child, Chaos was very much attached to his creator and his wife.

He never questioned his love for them, nor his mission to gain strength.

Because that strength was to protect the people from threats—to save the world.

But when his powers began being used for destruction, Chaos began to feel a hatred for Cid.

And when he became aware of his own demise, he imprisoned his own creator into "the other realm"—of nightmares from which you can never wake.

The memory of "her" from which I derive... The defeats that constitute the memory of the "goddess of harmony"...

With all of my memories regained, I lighted on this land and saw a most beautiful sky of blue.

This realm, long lost within the Rift, is likely destined for eventual disintegration.

All shall become a phantom, leaving nothing behind—as if nothing had ever existed.

And yet, I remain convinced—

That even after the passage of eons, peace in the world—once sought by the father and son--can be restored again.

By the warriors who have departed from this world with crystals in their hands...
