His name is Zack.

It's been close to 10 years since >he left for the city, saying that >he didn't want to live in the country...

He left saying >he's going to join SOLDIER. >You ever hear of a Zack in SOLDIER?

Cloud:

Hmmm...I don't know.

If Aeris is in the party

Aeris:

Zack...

Young lady, you know him?

I remember he wrote us 6 or 7 years ago >saying that he had a girlfriend. >Could that have been you?

Aeris:

That can't...

If Tifa is also in the party

Tifa:

Zack...

Cloud:

What happened to you two?

Aeris...

If Tifa is in the party, but Aeris is not

Zack...

Young lady, you know him?

I remember he wrote us 6 or 7 years ago >saying that he had a girlfriend. >Could that have been you?

Tifa:

...No, it wasn't.

Cloud:

Tifa... >What happened?

If neither Aeris nor Tifa is in the party

Cloud:

...Zack.

Zack. >I don't know anything >about that man.

......But >That name sounds familiar...

Why...!?

Have you ever met someone >in SOLDIER named Zack?

Woman:

I can't believe he hasn't >contacted us in 10 years...! >...After all, we're his parents.

Go back outside

*** GONGAGA: Gongaga Village ***

If you visited Zack's house with Aeris

Only talk to Aeris if you want to date her, ignore her otherwise

Cloud:

Aeris...

Aeris:

What a shock... >I didn't know Zack was >from this town.

Cloud:

You know him?

Aeris:

Didn't I tell you? >He was my first love.

Cloud:

............

Aeris:

Zack... >SOLDIER First Class. >Same as Cloud.

Cloud:

Strange, there aren't that >many who make First Class, >but I've never heard of him.

Aeris:

That's all right. >It's all in the past now. >I was just worried >because I heard he's been missing.

Cloud:

Missing?

Aeris:

I think it was 5 years ago. >He went out on a job, >and never came back.

Aeris:

He loved women, a real lady's man. >He probably found someone else...

Aeris:

Hey? What's wrong?

Poor guy

Aeris:

I don't really mind >that I haven't heard from him. >But I feel for his parents.

(...jealous...envious...)

Choose this if you want to date Aeris

Aeris:

Are you...jealous? >Hmm? Hmmm? >Are you, Cloud?

Aeris:

I'm kidding. I'm sorry.

If Aeris really likes you at this point

Aeris:

I was hoping maybe you were...

Aeris:

Let's go, Cloud.

If you visited Zack's house with Tifa

Only talk to Tifa if you want to date her, ignore her otherwise

Tifa:

Zack......

Cloud:

Do you know him?

Tifa:

N, no, I don't know him!

Cloud:

Your face tells me differently.

Tifa:

I told you, I don't!

Cloud:

A, all right.

Tifa:

............

Tifa:

That sounds just like you, >leaving town, and saying >'I'm joining SOLDIER!'.

Cloud:

There were a lot of guys >like that back then.

Tifa:

You must really be something >making it in SOLDIER >out of a group like that.

I really respect you...

I just got lucky

Tifa:

Don't be so humble!

I worked hard for it

Tifa:

Hard work pays off, huh.

If Tifa really likes you at this point

Tifa:

You know...

I'm as proud of Cloud >joining SOLDIER >as if it were me.

Tifa:

Cloud, >thanks for caring.

Get out of the village

*** GONJUN1: Jungle ***

If you heard at least one person's story, and Barret is with you

Barret:

The Shinra build reactors to make money. >And this is what happens.

Barret:

You saw that village. >It's always the powerless that >get victimized by tyrants like Shinra.

The one's with the power control those >without it. >That's just the way of the world now.

I can't let 'em do that. >That's why I formed AVALANCHE to fight 'em.

Barret:

...yo, Cloud >You still gonna fight with us, right?

We need you, man.

You got it

Choose this if you want to date Barret

Barret:

Thanks, man.

Not interested

Cosmo Canyon

*** World Map ***

You have chances to go for Fort Condor battles if you don't break the buggy here. However, if you try to drive buggy past Cosmo...

!?

Cloud:

Oh man...a breakdown? Now?

*** COS_BTM: Cosmo Canyon ***

Red XIII:

I am home! >It is I, Nanaki!

Hey, Nanaki! >You're safe!

Come on, and say >hello to Bugenhagen!

Cloud:

...Nanaki?

Talk to party members

Barret:

I finally made it... >So this is...Cosmo Canyon!

Tifa:

Red XIII seems different, doesn't he?

Aeris:

Cosmo...Canyon? >I wonder if there's any relation >to the planet or the Ancients...

Yuffie:

Hmmm... >Any Materia? >Any Materia around?

Cait Sith:

Hmmm...So this is >Cosmo Canyon.

Guy:

Welcome to Cosmo Canyon. >Are you familiar with this land?

Yes

You lied. >That is something that is not >treated lightly here in Cosmo Canyon.

No

Let me explain.

People from all over the >world gather here to seek the >Study of Planet Life.

If Barret is with you

Barret:

Wooooooooo!

Barret:

I always wanted to come here!

Ummgah! >It's full capacity at present, >so I'm afraid I can't let you enter.

Red XIII:

They helped me some >when I was on the road. >Please let them in.

...Oh, is that so? >You helped our Nanaki? >Please, come in.

Cloud:

Who is Nanaki?

Nanaki is Nanaki. >That's his name.

Guy:

Welcome to Cosmo Canyon. >Make yourselves at home.

Kid near fire:

Yaaay! >Nanaki! >Nanaki's back! >It's all thanks to this flame!

This fire is called 'Cosmo Candle'. >It has burned for generations.

It is a holy flame >that protects this canyon.

I heard once, it only went out once, >long ago.

The elders said something horrifying >occurred, but I really >don't know much about it.

Guy with yellow hat:

So this is Cosmo Canyon... >Quite a mysterious place.

Have you come to seek the 'Study of Planet Life'?

That's it

Yeah? >I heard there's an awesome observatory here. >I'd like to see it if I have a chance.

No

If the buggy broke outside

Oh yeah? >What? The car broka down!?

Why don't you look around Cosmo Canyon, >while I fix the car?

If you didn't break the buggy

Oh, really?

There really isn't much >else to see here.

*** COSMIN7: Item Store ***

Man:

Hello. >Looking for anything in particular?

Talk to Red XIII standing on stairs

Red XIII:

Here is where I was...I mean, >...this is my hometown.

Red XIII:

My tribe were protectors of those >who appreciate this beautiful >canyon and the Planet.

Red XIII:

My brave mother fought and died here, >but my cowardly father left her...... >I am the last of my race.

Cloud:

Cowardly father?

Red XIII:

Yes. >My father was a wastrel.

Red XIII:

And so the mission I inherited from >my ancestors, is to protect this place. >My journey ends here.

Hey! Nanaki--! >You're home!

Red XIII:

Coming, Grandpa!

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

Good timin'. >Let's take a breather.

Tifa:

That's perfect. >Why don't we take a break too? >We can meet back here in a while, OK?

Aeris:

Let's rest for a bit. >There are some things I want >to find out about anyway.

Yuffie:

Rest, rest, rest! >I wanna rest! >There! It's decided!

Cait Sith:

I'm just dead tired. >Everyone, how 'bout some rest?

Guy at the entrance:

Since you're here, why don't >you listen to Bugenhagen's story?

Red XIII:

Cloud, >this is my grandfather, Bugen.

He is incredible. >He knows everything.

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >I hear that you looked >after Nanaki a bit.

Bugenhagen:

Nanaki is still a child you see.

Red XIII:

Please stop, grandfather. >I'm 48.

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >Nanaki's tribe has incredible longevity.

So you see his 48 years would >only be equivalent to say that of >a 15 or 16 year old in human reckoning.

Cloud:

15 or 16!?

Bugenhagen:

He's quiet and very deep. >You thought he was an adult?

Red XIII:

......grandfather. >I want to be an adult.

I want to grow up to be able to >protect you and the village.

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >No Nanaki. >You can't stand on your own yet.

Bugenhagen:

To do that now would >destroy you in the long run.

Bugenhagen:

Reaching up into the heavens, threatening >to snatch the very stars from the great >city of Midgar. You've seen it, haven't you?

Bugenhagen:

Well, that's a bad example. >Looking up too much makes you >lose perspective.

Bugenhagen:

When it's time for this planet to die, >you'll understand that you know >absolutely nothing.

Cloud:

......When the planet dies?

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >It may be tomorrow, or 100 years from now... >But it's not long off.

Cloud:

How do you know this?

Bugenhagen:

I hear the cries of the Planet.

Cloud:

What's that?

Bugenhagen:

The sounds of the stars in the heavens. >While this goes on, planets are born, and die.

Cloud:

What was that?

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >That was a scream from this planet.

Didn't you hear it? As if to say... >I hurt, I suffer......

Red XIII:

They have come here on a journey >to save the planet.

Why don't you show them >your apparatus?

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >To save the planet? Ho Ho Hoooo!

Bugenhagen:

But, then again, I guess it >wouldn't hurt to show him.

Bugenhagen!

Several odd looking >people have come.

Bugenhagen:

The whole place has gotten >busy all of a sudden.

Red XIII:

He brought friends too. >I'll go get them.

Red XIII:

Cloud, >please call one of them.

Only three people can fit >in grandfather's machine.

Bugenhagen:

Don't worry. >My machine won't run away. >You go and invite your friends.

Whoa! Shootin' stars!

Look, look! A shooting star!

Aeris:

Hey! A shooting star!

Yuffie:

Wh, what the? A shooting star?

Depending on party members

Aeris:

Wow, how wonderful.

Tifa:

Oh! This is amazing!!

Yuffie:

Whew!!

Barret:

This's really somethin'!

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. Yes, it is something, >isn't it?

Well, let's get to >the subject.

Bugenhagen:

Eventually...all humans die. >What happens to them after they die?

The body decomposes, and returns to >the Planet. That much everyone knows. >What about their consciousness, >their hearts and their souls?

Bugenhagen:

The soul too returns >to the Planet.

And not only those of humans, but everything >on this Planet. In fact, all living things >in the universe, are the same.

The spirits that return to the Planet, >merge with one another and roam the Planet.

They roam, converge, and divide, >becoming a swell, called the 'Lifestream'.

Lifestream... >In other words, a path of >energy of the souls roaming the Planet.

'Spirit Energy' is a word that >you should never forget.

A new life...children are >blessed with Spirit energy and >are brought into the world.

Then, the time comes when they die >and once again return to the Planet...

Of course there are exceptions, >but this is the way of the world.

I've digressed, but you'll >understand better if you watch this.

Spirit energy makes all things possible, >trees, birds, and humans.

Not just living things. But Spirit energy makes it possible for Planets to be Planets.

What happens if that Spirit energy were to disappear?

...the end of life as we know it.

Bugenhagen:

......These are the basics >of the Study of Planet Life.

Cloud:

If the Spirit energy is lost, >our Planet is destroyed...

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. >Spirit energy is efficient BECAUSE it exists >within nature.

When Spirit energy is forcefully extracted, >and manufactured, it can't accomplish >its true purpose.

Cloud:

You're talking about Mako energy, right?

Bugenhagen:

Everyday Mako reactors suck up >Spirit energy, diminishing it.

Spirit energy gets compressed in the reactors >and processed into Mako energy. All living >things are being used up and thrown away.

In other words, Mako energy >will only destroy the Planet...

*** BUGIN1A: Observatory ***

Bugenhagen:

The story of the planets... >and those who lived with them...

You want to know more? >Then you must listen to >the words of the elders.

Check Bugenhagen's machine

Bugenhagen:

Ho Ho Hoooo. That's a machine only I can use.

Bugenhagen:

Nanaki? >His father a coward?

So that's it... Nanaki's been >thinking that all this time...

Back room of second floor

*** COSIN1_1: Elder's Room ***

Elder Hargo:

Ahh, here it is.

My job is to gather all the >legends and the knowledge of the planet >and to make a book.

Then, even when I return to the planet, >the children may still be >taught about many things...

Elder Hargo:

Mmm? Oh, we have guests. >Good, good.

Elder Hargo:

I know, I know.

You came to ask me something, right? >Am I right?

It's about the Promised Land

Elder Hargo:

...The Promised Land. >So you want to know...?

There is no one place called >the Promised Land. >That's what I believe.

No no, it does exist. >Hmmm......you can say that too.

In other words, >it doesn't exist for us, >but it did for the Ancients.

The Promised Land is the >resting place of the Ancients.

The life of the Ancients is one continuous >journey. A journey to grow trees and plants, >produce animals, and to raise Mako energy.

Their harsh journeys continued throughout >their lives...

The place they returned to after >their long journey... >Their burial land is the Promised Land.

Huh? Supreme Happiness? >I believe that, for the Ancients, >it was the moment that they were >able to return to their Planet,

At that moment they were released >from their fate, and gained their >supreme happiness...

At least that's what I believe. >I really don't know whether or >not it's the truth now.

Not really

Elder Hargo:

Oh, that's not what you're here for?

I'd appreciate it if you don't talk >to me about such foolish things as >legends and old wives tales.

By the way, those that came >with you are all >at the Cosmo Candle.

Are you leaving?

Guy at the entrance

*** COS_BTM: Cosmo Canyon ***

Leaving already? >But it appears your friends still want >to learn more about the planet...

Is it possible to get out of town at this point? If so, Fort Condor awaits.

Door near flame

*** COSIN3: Pub "Starlet" ***

Elder Bugah:

Mmm...

Elder Bugah:

What is it?

The story of the Ancients...

Elder Bugah:

You can't talk of the Ancients, >without mentioning Professor Gast.

He used to come here sometimes.

He was a Shinra scholar who spent >his life studying the Ancients.

He was a serious person, never would >have figured he'd be with the Shinra.

Must've been about 30 years ago, >when he found the corpse of an Ancient. >He was elated!

If I recall...he named it 'Jenova' and >was doing a lot of research...

One day, he showed up here, >looking real distressed.

He was mumbling something about Jenova >not being an Ancient and that he'd >done a terrible thing...

He's been missing since then. >I heard that he never >went back to Shinra

So, if you ever see Professor Gast, >I want you to tell him...

That the old man that likes to drink >in Cosmo Canyon, wanted to hear >about the Ancients.

Well, there's lots to talk about,

but most things about the Ancients >are all legend and folk tales, >and no one knows the truth.

Nothing

Elder Bugah:

...hmm. >That's no fun... >I wanna tell a story.

Elder Bugah:

By the way, your friends are >all in front of the 'Cosmo Candle'

Are you all leaving now?

Barret:

...Really? >To save the planet?

Do I even got a to go on?

Will they...... >...will they ever forgive me?

...Right now, I really don't know. >But I know one thing.

What is it...?

It feels like... >it feels like you're going far away...

You really, really are...... >you...right?

Red XIII:

...Long ago.

Red XIII:

...When I was still very small. >We were all around this flame...

Red XIII:

No, never mind...

Cloud:

What happened?

Red XIII:

It's about my parents.

When I talk about my mother, >I am full of pride and joy...

And that's fine. >...But when I remember my father, >my heart is full of anger...

Bugenhagen:

...You really can't forgive your father...?

Red XIII:

Of course. >He......left mother for dead.

Red XIII:

When the Gi tribe attacked, >he ran off by himself, leaving >mother and the people of the Canyon!

Bugenhagen:

...Come, Nanaki. >There's something you should see.

Red XIII:

...?

Bugenhagen:

The place may be dangerous.

Cloud. >Will you and one other person come with us?

Barret:

...Where're they going?

Tifa:

Can I go too?

Aeris:

I wonder what he wants to >show Red XIII...?
