Meeting in the Forest:
Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.
(Rem starts to cough)
- Rem: Cough, cough...
- Aerith: Are you okay, Rem? You've been coughing for a while now.
- Rem: I...I'm fine. It's just a little coughing fit...
- Rem: Cough! Cough, cough!
- Aerith: Rem!?
- Lenna: There's nothing little about it. Doesn't it hurt?
- Yuna: Stay still. I'll heal you!
(Yuna heals Rem)
- Rem: Cough, cough! Cough...!
- Aerith: I'll help!
(Aerith heals Rem)
- Rem: Cough, cough... Huff...
- Lenna: It's okay... It's okay now.
- Yuna: Magic doesn't seem to work... Maybe it's ineffective against sicknesses from other worlds...?
- ???: Please, use this!
(Arciela arrives)
- ???: This thyme moss should help suppress the cough. Quickly now!
- Aerith: Thyme moss...?
- ???: How do you feel?
- Rem: Better, thank you...
- Aerith: Thank goodness, Rem!
- Lenna: It looked like that medicinal herb helped calm your cough.
- Yuna: By the way, who are you?
- ???: Oh, how rude of me. I'm—
(The party hears a monster roar)
- Lenna: That voice...!
- Aerith: Monsters! We'll have to do introductions later, I suppose...!
Princess of Adoulin:
- Rem: Thank you for earlier. I feel much better now.
- Cater: I appreciate you helping my friend!
- ???: I'm glad I could help.
- Arciela: My name is Arciela V. Adoulin.
- Arciela: From one of the Twelve Orders in the Sacred City of Adoulin.
- Lion: Sacred City of Adoulin...? Would that by any chance be to the far west of the Middle Lands?
- Lion: I heard that they were recruiting adventurers to help develop Ulbuka.
- Arciela: Oh? Then you must be in this forest as pioneers...
- Cid: It seems like this lady doesn't have a clue what's going on.
- Auron: Then we had better explain it.
- Arciela: ...I see. I thought it was strange that I couldn't see the spirits.
- Arciela: But to think that I'm not in Ulbuka, let alone Vana'diel...
- Rem: Everyone here was summoned from a different world by a god.
- Lion: I'm also from Vana'diel. I passed through a Torsion just like you did.
- Arciela: ...I'm not sure I understand. Why is thyme moss growing here if we're in a different world?
- Cid: Probably because this world was made to look like ours.
- Auron: Or perhaps because your world and this one are connected by a Torsion.
- Arciela: Is it because I came here...?
- Cater: No, no! It's not your fault!
- Rem: You saved me, Arciela. I can't thank you enough.
- Auron: It's not easy to judge whether to help complete strangers or not.
- Cid: In short, we like you, miss!
- Arciela: Th-thank you! I'm happy to hear that.
- Lion: As you can see from these woods, Vana'diel is in trouble...
- Rem: In order to save our worlds and get back home, we need to gather brilliance.
- Cid: So will you help us? Rejection would be hard for us to stomach at this point.
- Arciela: I can't stop here. I have a duty to the people of Adoulin...
- Arciela: Please, let me come with you. I want to help!
- Cid: Well, well! You look like a sheltered noble, but you've got guts, kid!
Forest Witch:
- Zack: Alright, guys! We're almost out of the woods! Just follow me!
- Ace: Is it really a good idea to follow him...?
- Quistis: Indeed. Having him lead makes me very nervous...
(Arciela arrives)
- Arciela: Wait!
- Arciela: There are poisonous plants growing over there. And I can sense monsters.
- Zack: Wh-what!? How did you know that?
- Zell: Oh, brother...
- Arciela: Let's go this way instead. It's a safer route out.
- Quistis: You really saved our necks, Arciela. You're very well versed in the forest.
- Zell: You know a ton about medicinal plants, too! Almost like you've lived in the woods before.
- Ace: Arciela? Is something wrong?
- Arciela: ...I just remembered how they used to call me a witch back home.
- Zack: A witch? But why?
- Arciela: I've had the power to be attune with nature ever since I can remember.
- Arciela: Before I knew it, people started ridiculing me of being a witch protected by the woods.
- Arciela: This power has caused me unhappiness. I've even dragged in people around me...
- Quistis: That's terrible.
- Zell: A witch, huh...
- Zell: We have something like that in our world. She's a sorceress who somehow made it here...
- Ace: You mean Ultimecia.
- Quistis: Sorceresses often used their great powers as a weapon to become dictators.
- Quistis: Because of that, people came to hate them. But not all sorceresses are evil...
- Arciela: People hated them, too... Just like me.
- Zell: What are you saying? You're completely different.
- Zell: You're nothing like Ultimecia at all!
- Ace: You saved Rem, and you helped us avoid danger.
- Zack: You do have a mysterious power, but how you use it is up to you.
- Zack: So even if you're a witch, you're a good one!
- Zack: So, how about it?
- Arciela: Thank you, everyone. You're right. I need to be more positive!
- Arciela: If I can save someone with this power, I don't care what people call me!
- Zack: That's the spirit! Now let's get going!
(Zack runs off)
- Arciela: Wait, Zack! Not that way!
