[ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f] End of flashback
Cloud:
......and that's the end of my story.
Barret:
Wait a damn minute! Ain't there more?
Cloud:
......I don't remember.
Aeris:
What happened to Sephiroth?
Cloud:
In terms of skill, I couldn't have killed him.
Tifa:
Official records state Sephiroth is dead. I read it in the newspaper.
Aeris:
Shinra, Inc. owns the paper, so you can't rely on that information.
Cloud:
......I want to know the truth. I want to know what happened then.
I challenged Sephiroth and lived. Why didn't he kill me?
Tifa:
......I'm alive, too.
Aeris:
Seems like a lot of this doesn't make sense. What about Jenova? It was in the Shinra building, right?
Cloud:
Shinra shipped it from Nibelheim to Midgar.
Aeris:
Did someone else carry it out after that? It was missing from the Shinra building.
Tifa:
Sephiroth......?
Barret:
Damn! Don't none of this make sense!
I'm going, going, going, gone!
And I'm leavin' the thinkin' to you!
Barret:
Yo, Cloud! Let's get a move on!
Wait a sec
Barret:
Cloud, what's wrong? You just gonna stand there while Sephiroth heads for the Promised Land?
I ain't lettin' Sephiroth or Shinra get to no Promised Land. If they do, then we're all screwed.
Y'know what I'm sayin'!
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Choose this if you want to date Barret
Barret:
Y'all jes leave it to me!
Is that all?
Choose this if you want to date Aeris/Tifa/Yuffie
Cloud:
Oh brother......
Barret:
Fine! That's good enough.
Right
Barret:
Yo, c'mon let's go!
Cloud:
Oh brother......
Tifa:
.........
Tifa:
Cloud...?
Tifa:
How bad was I when Sephiroth cut me?
Cloud:
I thought you were a goner. ......I was really sad.
Tifa:
.........
Aeris:
I...
Aeris:
The Ancients......Cetra......Jenova...... Sephiroth and myself......
Tifa:
Let's go. Barret's waiting.
Red XIII:
What a fascinating story......

With [PHS], I can see you any time!
Tifa:
Just use [PHS], and you can contact any one of us easy.
Barret:
Long as we got [PHS], we can always reach each other. You use it if something happens.
Depending on the first person in this list who's not in the party
Barret:
Awright then, we're outta here.
Tifa:
I'm going on ahead.
Aeris:
Well, I'll be going.

You can learn Beta from Midgar Zolom if you're strong enough.
To Junon
[SICHI: Marshes] Outside Mythril Mines
Cloud:
Did Sephiroth... do this......?
Talk to party members
Aeris:
Our enemy is someone that could do this...?
Barret:
This Sephiroth guy's pretty strong, I'd say.
Tifa:
Amazing...
Red XIII:
It's a power that we should respect...
Yuffie:

Depending on the third party member
Barret:
Wh, who are you!?
Tifa:
Who are you?
Aeris:
By any chance, are you...?
Red XIII:
...... I hoped I'd never see you again...
Rude:
Do you know who I am?
From the Turks, right?
Rude:
Well if you know, then this won't take long.
Not interested
Rude:
......I'm from the Turks. And don't you ever forget it.
Rude:
It's difficult to explain what the Turks do...
Cloud:
Kidnapping, right?
Rude:
To put it negatively... you could say that.
Rude:
...But, that's not all there is to it, anymore.
Rude:
............
Rude:
............
Sir!
Elena:
It's all right, Rude! I know you don't like speeches, so don't force it!
Rude:
...Then Elena, explain.
Elena:
I'm the newest member of the Turks, Elena. Thanks to what you did to Reno, we're short of people.
Elena:
...Although, because of that, I got promoted to the Turks,...
Elena:
In any case, our job is to find out where Sephiroth is headed.
And to try and stop you every step of the way.
Elena:
Wait a minute, it's the other way around... You're the ones that are getting in our way.
Tseng:
...Elena. You talk too much.
Elena:
Mr. Tseng!?
Tseng:
No need to tell them about our orders.
Elena:
Sorry...Tseng.
Tseng:
I thought I gave you other orders.
Now go. Don't forget to file your report.
Elena:
Oh! Right!
Elena:
Very well, Rude and I will go after Sephiroth, who's heading for Junon Harbor!
Tseng:
...Elena. You don't seem to understand.
Elena:
Oh! I'm, I'm sorry...
Tseng:
...Go. Don't let Sephiroth get away.
Rude & Elena:
Yes sir!
Rude:
...Reno said he wanted to see you after the injuries you gave him healed.
He wants to show his affection for you all... with a new weapon.
Tseng:
Well, then...
If Aeris is in the party
Tseng:
Aeris... Long time no see.
Tseng:
Looks like you got away from the Shinra for a while, now that Sephiroth reappeared.
Aeris:
...so what are you saying? That I should be grateful to Sephiroth?
Tseng:
No...
Well, I won't be seeing too much of you, so take care.
Aeris:
...strange, hearing that from you.
Tseng:
Well then, stay out of Shinra's way.
If Aeris is not in the party
Tseng:
...Where's Aeris? She's not with you?
Cloud:
Aeris isn't with us. She's with the others.
Tseng:
Oh... Then give her my regards.

He-y! Mr.Dolphin!
My name is...... Pri-scil-la! Now you say it.
Priscilla:
Who are you guys? Are you members of the Shinra, Inc.?
Depending on the second party member
Barret:
No! You got it all wrong! We're fighting against the Shinra!
Tifa:
No...stay calm...
Aeris:
No you're wrong! We have nothing to do with the Shinra.
Red XIII:
...we don't get along well with the Shinra.
Yuffie:
Hey watch your mouth! We hate the Shinra!
Cloud:
...that's how it is.
Priscilla:
I don't believe you! Get out of here!
Cloud:
Great...
Depending on the third party member
Barret:
Hey! Look at that!
Tifa:
Look at that!
Aeris:
What's that!?
Red XIII:
Hey! It's a monster!

Whoa, Gawd!
Priscilla:
Be careful Mr.Dolphin!
Cloud:
Hey! Hold on, we're coming!

This is bad... You don't think she's dead, do you?
Priscilla!!
Nope...she's not breathing...
Hey, that's it!
Young man, CPR, now!
Cloud:
Mouth to mouth!?
Cloud:
But,... she's just a girl......
Depending on party members
Barret:
C'mon Cloud.
Tifa:
Cloud, what are you going to do?
Aeris:
Cloud, hurry!
Red XIII:
You know I can't.
Yuffie:
Do it, Cloud!
What? You don't know how? Come over here, I'll show you.
Cloud:
Guess I gotta do it...
Just take a deep breath, hold it in. Then breathe into her.
Hurry up and do it!
Push the [Square] button once, and it starts the CPR gauge. Push it again, and it stops the gauge.
Understand? Once more Got it
Wait for the meter to max out and reset 4 times
What are you doing!? Hurry up! Breath deeply and give her mouth to mouth!
That's still not enough!
Blow at least 41 units of air
Priscilla:
Uh...ugh...
Hey hey! Priscilla, are you alright?
Talk to the lady by the town entrance
[UJUNON1: Under Junon]
Hey, come in for a while.
[JUMIN: Under Junon] Inside the lady's house
I heard what happened. You've done so much for Priscilla.
You all must be tired. If you want to get some rest, stay here.
Make yourselves at home.
Depending on the second party member
Tifa:
Take a rest?
Barret:
I'm gonna relax for a while.
Aeris:
Want to rest?
Red XIII:
Shall we rest?
Yuffie:
Wanna rest?
Cloud:
Yeah...
We'll try later
If you choose this, you'll have to go outside and come back here to choose to rest
Hmmm...
Let's get some rest
No time to rest
Let's rest
...That reminds me
You again?
...Who are you?
...You'll find out soon. ......But more importantly, 5 years ago...
5 Years ago...Nibelheim?
When you went to Mt. Nibel then, Tifa was your guide, right?
Yeah...I was surprised.
But where was Tifa other than that?
...I dunno.
It was a great chance for you two to see each other again.
...You're right.
Why couldn't you see each other alone?
...I don't know. I can't remember clearly...
Why don't you try asking Tifa?
...Yeah.
Then, get up!
Hey wake up. Wake up, Cloud!
Cloud:
Tifa...
When Sephiroth and I went to Nibelheim, where were you?
Tifa:
...We saw each other, right?
Cloud:
The other time.
Tifa:
No...it was 5 years ago. I don't remember.
But, something seems strange outside. Cloud, come quick.
Tifa:
Cloud, come here. Everyone's here.
Aeris:
What are you thinking?
A new battle is available at Fort Condor. New optional dialogue is available in Junon.
[UJUNON1: Under Junon]
Talk to party members
Aeris:
I heard that girl regained consciousness.
Barret:
Seems like something's goin' on up there!
Tifa:
Doesn't it seem a little strange? Everything getting so noisy all of a sudden...?
Red XIII:
Does this have something to do with the Shinra?
Yuffie:
What's this loud music? It's giving me a headache!
Go up to Priscilla's room
Cloud:
Are you all right now?
Priscilla:
Umm...thanks for helping...
Priscilla:
I'm sorry , I mistook you for one of those Shinra, Inc....
Cloud:
That's all right.
Priscilla:
I'll give you something SPECIAL!
If you can carry more materia
It's an amulet. Take good care of it, ok?
Received "Shiva" Materia!
If your materia bag is full
It's at my house, so come by later to pick it up, ok?
Barret:
What's that music? It sure sounds lively.
Priscilla:
I heard they're rehearsing the reception for the new Shinra president.
Barret:
Rufus!? I gotta pay my respects.
Priscilla:
Grandpa and grandma told me this beach was beautiful when they were small.
But after the Shinra built that city above, the sun stopped shining here, and the water got polluted...
I was raised on that story and hate Shinra so much, I could die!
Aeris:
You think Rufus is thinking about crossing the ocean from here, too?
What? Does that mean Sephiroth already crossed the ocean?
Red XIII:
Cloud, didn't you finish Rufus off?
Barret:
We gotta get to the town up there... Mebbe we could climb the tower?
Priscilla:
No! No! There's a high voltage current running underneath the tower. Don't wander near it, it's dangerous!
Priscilla:
But...you might be able to if Mr.Dolphin helps you. Follow me!
Tifa:
High voltage tower......
I guess this means Cloud'll be all right.
Aeris:
Yeah, better leave it to Cloud!
Red XIII:
We're counting on you, Cloud
Cloud:
Hey!!
Cloud:
Wait a second!
Talk to party members
Tifa:
Don't you just hate this?
Aeris:
You're probably right.
Barret:
Yeah, I'd like to take a good look at the new President of Shinra, Inc.!
Red XIII:
That looks like a Shinra soldier.
Yuffie:
Aren't you going to follow her?
Go down to the beach, talk to Priscilla
[UJUNON2: Dolphin Offing]
Priscilla:
Wait a minute.
Barret:
Now ain't that something! I ain't never seen no Dolphin jump like that!
Priscilla:
Pretty cool, huh? When I blow this whistle, Mr.Dolphin jumps for me.
Here!! This is for you, Cloud!
Cloud:
A gift? What am I supposed to do with it!?
[Square]button Blow the whistle and call the dolphin.
Just go into the water, blow this whistle, and Mr.Dolphin'll jump you to the top of the pole!
Cloud:
Jump to the top of the pole?
See that rod sticking out at the top? If you jump just right, you can climb to the top of the town.
Barret:
Good luck Cloud! If you make it, we'll follow you!
Whoa, I'll hold the PHS for you. It'll break if it gets wet.
You wanna jump with Mr.Dolphin?
Explain it to me again
This will repeat the instructions
Sure
Swim too far out
Priscilla:
Did you drown? It gets deeper the farther you go out.
Swim too close to the tower
Priscilla:
There's high voltage running through the bottom of the tower. Don't go near it...
Swim back to the beach
[UJUNON3] Beach
Get out of the water?
Yes
No
Don't move at all, just blow whistle twice to get up
I'll pass
You can choose this before jumping up to reach another battle at Fort Condor.
Priscilla:
Come back whenever you want to see Mr.Dolphin!
Go down the platform, enter the building

I'll go first! Now you watch close and do as I do, rookie!
Just sneak into the back of the line when you see an opening.
Now listen up! This parade's gonna be broadcast live on Shinra TV, around the world!
If you look bad, the whole Junon army will look bad. Remember that and don't screw up!
OK! Jump in when I give you the sign!
Just sneak in from the back! Don't mess up the row!

Good! We made it.
Oh! President Rufus!
Hey! Line up and shut up!
Don't make a move!
Try to move
Hey!
Rufus:
How's the job?
Rufus:
What happened to the Airship?
Heidegger:
The long range airship is still being prepared.
It should be ready in about three more days. Gya haa haa!
Rufus:
Even the Air Force's Gelnika?
Heidegger:
......Gya haa haa!
Rufus:
Stop that stupid horse laugh.
Things are different than when father was in charge.
Heidegger:
Gya...
Rufus:
Is the ship ready?
Heidegger:
Yes Sir, we'll get it ready quickly.
What a disaster.
Heidegger was really irritated...
The man in the Black Cape's been roaming the city, but we can't find him.
Cloud:
Man in a Black Cape?
He showed up two or three days ago, and killed a few of our soldiers.
He disappeared right after that. There's a rumor going around that it was Sephiroth.
Attention! Dismissed!
Hey! Hey you! You messing with the army?
Who cares?
What if I am?
You're too lazy!! No break for you!!
Get over here!

Talk to the soldier on the left side of the lift
Oh! How's it going!? If you're looking for Junon dock, it's over there!
Talk to the soldier again
This lift goes to the Shinra section...
Ever since that Black-caped murderer... But we can't use it because we're all on red alert.
[JUNONR2: Upper Junon] Street by the diagonal lift
Talk to the soldier on the right side of the lift
President Rufus is being sent off at the port.
You'd better hurry.
[JUNDOC1A: Junon Dock]

Looks like you need more practice.
With things looking like this, you better be ready for pay cuts...
Heidegger:
Gya haa ha...!! Here's a special bonus for you!!
A token of the President's kindness! Don't forget it!
Received "Silver Glasses"!
If Rufus's mood is between 60 and 90
HP Plus is arguably the best reward here. It's a useful materia and the Force Stealer can be bought sooner for a cheaper price.
Rufus:
Very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Heidegger:

A token of the President's kindness! Don't forget it!

A token of the President's kindness! Don't forget it!
Received "Force Stealer"!
Rufus:
Once the word gets out that Sephiroth's here, Cloud and his friends will show up, too.
Heidegger:
We'll crush them as soon as we find them!
Rufus:
We can't have them get in our way.
Heidegger:
Leave it up to me, sir! Gya haa ha!
Rufus:
I thought I told you to stop that stupid laugh...
Heidegger:
Gya......
All right! Dismissed!
That was close.
Heidegger's been really edgy lately.
Because Hojo disappeared, leaving a letter of resignation.
Heidegger's been forced to take care of that investigation, too.
Hey--! I thought you were dismissed!
We got some cleaning up to do! Hurry up!
Try to walk away
Red XIII:
Hey, hurry. You're the last one.
Cloud:
How did you get here?
Red XIII:
A dolphin gave me a ride.
Priscilla remembered the dolphin after you climbed the pole. But, you mustn't be mad at her.
Get onto the ship
Cloud:
We'll cross the ocean, to the new continent.
...even if we are wearing Shinra's uniforms...
