Aeris:
You know what? This is the first time I've ever left Midgar...
Really? ...You worried?
Aeris:
A little, ...no, maybe a lot. But I have my bodyguard, right?
It's dangerous. You sure you want to go?
Aeris:
I thought you'd say that!
Barret:
We told Aeris's mom to go somewhere safe, so Marlene should be safe too.
Yeah, she should be
Aeris:
She said she didn't want to stay in Midgar anymore. ...Maybe it's for the best.
Hmm, I don't know
Aeris:
Stop it, Cloud! I'm worried too.
To the Northeast, there's a town >called, Kalm.
The food at the Inn's so good. >Why don't we head there first?
You're right. >I've heard lots about that town before. >Cloud?
About Sephiroth, >and about the crisis of the Planet...
Red XIII:
I'm going back to my hometown. I'll go with you as far as that.
Tifa:
...I guess this is the start of our journey...
You hate traveling?
Tifa:
...I don't know. But, I don't have anywhere else to go. So I guess it doesn't really matter whether I like to travel or not.
It's dangerous. You sure you want to go?
Tifa:
......Mmm. But you know, it should be all right if you keep your promise.
Walk off the screen
Cloud:
Then...
Let's stay here for a while
Let's go!
Barret:
We need a group leader for our journey. 'Course only me could be the leader.
Tifa:
You think so...?
Aeris:
It would have to be Cloud.
Barret:
^#$^%...... awright. Go Northeast to a town called Kalm. If something happens, we'll meet up there.
Barret:
'Sides, we can't have 5 people strolling down the fields. It's too dangerous. Split us into 2 parties...
Have Red XIII and the person you want to date in the party
If neither girl is in the party
Aeris:
...Unexpected
Tifa:
...combination.
Tifa:
Well, have fun with just the guys.
If both girls are in the party
Barret:
...Thought you'd do that.
If Barret is not in the party
Barret:
Later, at Kalm!
If Tifa is not in the party
Tifa:
We'll see you at Kalm!
Step out

Try to cross Mythril mines before visiting Kalm

Depending on the second member of the party
Barret:
Hey Cloud. If we keep going, we'll never get to Kalm.
Tifa:
Hey, Cloud. Wasn't Kalm right before this cavern?
Silly people at Square made Aeris say Tifa's line
Red XIII:
...We won't get to Kalm even if we go through these caverns.
Depending on the third member
Barret:
Yo, wassup? Can't SOLDIER-man even lead the way?
Tifa:
Kalm should be closer to Midgar.
Aeris:
Cloud! Are you lost!?
Red XIII:
If we're planning to meet at Kalm, we should go back and look for it again.
*** ELM: Kalm ***
First entering the town
Depending on the third member
Barret:
This is Kalm.
Tifa:
So this is Kalm?
Aeris:
We've reached Kalm.
Red XIII:
......looks like we've reached Kalm.
Second member
Barret:
Yo, I'll be waitin' at the inn... Hurry up and get your butt over there!
Tifa:
Everyone's waiting at the inn. Let's go Cloud.
Aeris:
I wonder if everyone's there already. Let's hurry over to the inn!
Red XIII:
We're supposed to meet at the inn. ......Shall we go?
Third member
Barret:
Get over here!
Tifa:
Let's go Cloud.
Aeris:
Well then, I'll go on ahead.
Red XIII:
Let's go Cloud.
Try to leave town
Cloud:
Barret and the others are waiting for us at the inn.
Man with orange hair:
Aw, c'mon! Listen to me! Got anything interesting to say?......
Go into inn, go upstairs
*** ELMINN_1: 1st floor of inn ***
Inn keeper:
Mr......Cloud? Your party is waiting for you on the 2nd floor.
*** ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f ***
Aeris:
Cloud, you're late!
Barret:
Yo man, you're late!
Cloud:
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Aeris:
Guess everyone's here now.
Barret:
So let's hear your story......
You know, the one about Sephiroth and the crisis facing the planet.
Let's hear it all.
Cloud:
......I used to want to be like Sephiroth, so I joined SOLDIER.
After working with Sephiroth on several missions, we became friends.
Barret:
You call that a friend?
Cloud:
Yeah, well......
He's older than me, and he hardly ever talked about himself.
Tifa:
.........
Cloud:
So I guess you'd call him a war buddy...... We trusted each other. Until one day......
Aeris:
...one day?
Cloud:
After the war it was SOLDIER's duty to put down any resistance against the Shinra.
Cloud:
......that was 5 years ago.
I was 16......
*** TRACKIN ***
Cloud:
It sure is raining hard.
Cloud:
Hey, how are you doing?
I'm all right.
Cloud:
I wouldn't know...
I've never had motion sickness.
Cloud:
Everything okay?
Sephiroth:
Hey.
Sephiroth:
Settle down.
Cloud:
They gave me some new Materia.
I can't wait to use it.
Sephiroth:
...just like a kid.
Cloud:
You going to brief us about this mission?
Sephiroth:
...this isn't a typical mission.
Cloud:
Good!
Sephiroth:
Why do you say that?
Cloud:
I joined SOLDIER so I could be like you.
But by the time I made First Class, the war was already over.
My big hopes of becoming a hero like you ended with the war.
That's why I always sign up whenever there's a big mission. Kind of a way to prove myself.
Cloud:
Say, how do you feel, MISTER Sephiroth?
Sephiroth:
...I thought you wanted a briefing?
Sephiroth:
Our mission is to investigate an old Mako reactor.
Sephiroth:
There have been reports of it malfunctioning, and producing brutal creatures.
First, we will dispose of those creatures. Then, we'll locate the problem and neutralize it.
Cloud:
Brutal creatures... Where?
Sephiroth:
The Mako Reactor at Nibelheim.
Cloud:
Nibelheim...
Cloud:
That's where I'm from.
Sephiroth:
Hmm...hometown...
Sir...s, something strange just crashed into our truck!
Sephiroth:
That would be our Monster...
Battle: Dragon
*** ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f. ***
Cloud:
Sephiroth's strength is unreal. He is far stronger in reality than any story you might have heard about him.
Aeris:
So... Where do you come in?
Cloud:
Me? I was mesmerized by the way Sephiroth fought.
Tifa:
.........
Cloud:
......and then we reached Nibelheim.
*** NIVGATE ***
Sephiroth:
How does it feel?
Sephiroth:
It's your first time back to your hometown in a long time, right?
Sephiroth:
So how does it feel?
I wouldn't know because I don't have a hometown...
Cloud:
Ummm...how 'bout your parents?
Sephiroth:
My mother is Jenova. She died right after she gave birth to me. My father...
Sephiroth:
What does it matter...?
Sephiroth:
All right, let's go.
Soldier on the left:
It's so boring, being on watch.
You want to do what we always do?
Cloud:
Shall we practice?
Practice... oh, you mean practice my pose.
Does someone in SOLDIER always have to be careful about what other people think?
...How did it go?
...Was it like this?
Cloud:
Good job!
I really don't want to be in SOLDIER.
Just sit tight, it's your job, right?
Cloud:
I'll come and talk to you once in a while. Just stick with it.
Soldier on the right:
Psst... (You keep wandering around here and you'll get in trouble.)
Sephiroth:
The Mako smell is pretty bad here.
Go into town
Barret:
Yo wait a minute!!
Barret:
Isn't that, um...?
Barret:
The name of Sephiroth's mother...
*** ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f. ***
Barret:
I remember Jenova. That's that damn headless spook livin' in the Shinra building.
Cloud:
That's right.
Tifa:
Barret, would you please let us hear what Cloud has to say? You can ask questions later.
Barret:
Tifa, I was only......
Tifa:
Okay Cloud, continue.
Aeris:
It's a reunion of childhood pals!
Cloud:
......I was really surprised with Tifa.
*** NIVL: Nibelheim ***
Cloud:
...The town was quiet.
Everyone must be staying in their houses, afraid to come out because of the monsters.
No, maybe they're afraid of us...
Sephiroth:
We leave for the reactor at dawn. Make sure you get to sleep early.
Sephiroth:
All we need is one lookout, so you others, get some rest.
Sephiroth:
Oh, that's right...
Sephiroth:
You may visit your family and friends.
Guard:
Man... I'm so nervous.
How come?
Look, you never know when a monster's gonna show up, right?
I'm excited.
...That's right. Don't blow your chance to become a hero...
Guy outside:
I heard Sephiroth was coming and got my camera ready.
I want a shot of Sephiroth and a monster.
Take my picture.
I don't take pictures with nobodys.
Better get back in the house, it's dangerous.
All right... So big-headed...
Hey? This guy's a real...
You... Are you Cloud?
Really? So that's how it is, huh?
Guy:
Gosh, Cloud, you've grown up to be a nice-looking lad.
Then take my picture
Let's do this, Cloud. Let me take a picture of you with Sephiroth.
It's dangerous, get back in your house
OK, OK,...... So big-headed... You're just his assistant
Mansion at the top
Cloud:
This Mansion...
...No, I'll come here later.

Cloud:
Up ahead is...Mt.Nibel.
I'll tell you about the time I went into the mountains.
Guy near mountain: "Hmm? You from Shinra?"
That's right!
Geez... Big-headed young kid.
Who are you?
I'm the town's... ...... ......!?
Aren't you Cloud?
Don't you know me?
Cloud:
You're Tifa's...
Right. I'm Tifa's father.

Third house from the bottom
*** NIV_CL: Cloud's House ***
Cloud:
This is......my house. It has nothing to do with that incident five years ago.
Barret:
Yo wait, I wanna hear.
Aeris:
Me too! It's been a long time, right?
Barret:
Tell us more!
You saw your family, right?
Don't want to talk about it
Barret:
Well I ain't gonna force ya...
All right......
Cloud:
I don't know if you could call it a 'family'......
My father...died when I was still very young.
That's why my mom...... was living alone in this house.
Cloud:
Yeah, I saw my mom.
Cloud:
My mom...she was a vibrant woman. Hadn't changed at all.
But a few days later, she died...
But when I saw her, she looked fine.
Cloud:
Uh...?
Ye----s?
Cloud!?
Welcome home, Cloud!
Cloud:
Hi, mom.
Come, come... Let me take a look at you!
Hmmm......
You look so handsome.
So is this a SOLDIER uniform?
Cloud:
......Mom, I...
My, how you've grown.
I'll bet the girls never leave you alone.
Cloud:
...Not really.
...I'm worried about you.
There are a lot of temptations in the city...
I'd feel a lot better if you just settled down and had a nice girlfriend.
Cloud:
...I'm all right.
You should have...
an older girlfriend, one that'll take care of you.
I think that would be the perfect type for you.
Cloud:
......I'm not interested.
Are you eating right?
Cloud:
I'm all right. The Company takes care of me.
Is that so?
You can't cook, right?
I was worried sick about how you were doing...
Cloud...?
You know, Cloud......
.......isn't that right, Cloud?
I will always be your mother...
Cloud:
......Let's stop this......

I thought you might be home.

Tifa:
Cloud...?
Did you go into my room?
Yeah......
Check dresser
Received "Orthopedic Underwear!"
Tifa:
Cloud!!!
It's true
Just kidding. Don't get mad...
Tifa:
...Cloud
We're talking about something really important here.
Check desk
Cloud:
The letter...
Tifa:
Did you read it? My letter?
I'd never do that!
Tifa:
Of course!
Yeah...
Tifa:
You remember what it said...?
I don't remember...
Tifa:
Then, let's go on with the story about Sephiroth.
I remember clearly
Cloud:
I read it...
It was a letter addressed to Tifa from the son of the guy that runs the General Store...
Tifa, how are you? I just arrived in Midgar eight days ago.
Yesterday, all of Nibelheim got together to welcome me. The only person that we couldn't get a hold of was Cloud.
But everyone said he wasn't really that close to us. So even if we asked, he probably wouldn't have come anyway.
Well, enough about him.
Midgar is really something. But to tell the truth, I feel so behind on everything... so out of it.
Even the rooms of people in the slums are clean.
Right now I'm living in the slums, but I plan to move to a really nice room, like the ones I've seen in magazines, once I make some money.
...but, to do that, I guess I have to find a job first. That's right. I still haven't found a job yet.
I lied to my parents and told them I found a great job with Shinra, Inc.
I wonder if it's too late to go back. Sometimes I think I should've taken over my parents' store.
Tifa:
Cloud... Do you remember all of it?
No, that's it
Tifa:
Then, let's go on with the story about Sephiroth.
Yeah, I remember it all
Cloud:
Because there was some stuff about me...
I just made it here to Midgar but all I think about is Nibelheim.
Hey, Tifa... Is that stupid old water tower still working?
Is the old man at the Inn doing well? Are my parents still at the shop everyday? Have any monsters attacked?
And most of all, how are you, Tifa? It feels like I haven't seen you for years.
We were all talking about you last night.
Everyone likes you. But because everyone idolizes you, I couldn't very well stab them in the back.
I always acted cool, but actually, I was just afraid of being jilted.
Wow, if I keep writing like this, this'll become a love letter!
So, I think I'll stop here. Take care. I'll write again.
P.S. Write me back, okay?
Check piano
Tifa:
Did you play my piano?
No, I didn't
Yeah, I jammed on it

Cloud:

Go into inn
*** NIVINN_1: Nibelheim Inn ***
Innkeeper:
The, uh... The whole inn's booked up by Shinra for the night.
......?
Cloud...?
Is it you, Cloud?
It must've been two years.
Say, you've really moved up in the world, being under Sephiroth's command.
Innkeeper:
So, what do you need, Cloud?
Where's Sephiroth?
Yeah, he's upstairs.
Give me a room to stay.
It's all reserved for you Shinra people, so I don't mind. But, wouldn't you feel more comfortable staying at home?
Let me know the situation of the town.
First time
Now about the town...
A lot of monsters have been appearing in the last 12 months.
Other than that, there's not much change. Nothing much exciting happens in a little town like this.
It was all right when they were building the reactor.
...while they were still building it.
But once it was completed,it's been bad.
Within a few years, all the trees on the mountain withered away.
I don't know if the reactor was good or bad...
I mean it's easy to say that it was a bad idea now. But now, what can you do about it...?
Anyhow we've got to get rid of the monsters...
Then,we'll all be able to relax a little bit.
Afterwards
It's the same story I always tell. You still want to hear it?
Yeah, tell me again
Repeats story
No, that's all right
Guy in inn:
......Hmmmm
Is Shinra here to get rid of the monsters?
Cloud:
And who are you?
I'm Zangan. I travel around the world teaching children martial arts.
Zangan:
I have 128 students all over the world!
In this town,a girl named Tifa is my student.
Cloud:
Did you say Tifa?
Zangan:
Tifa has good sense. She'll be a powerful fighter.
Zangan:
I want to see some Shinra techniques.
And if you see anything you can use, you might want to incorporate some of my techniques.
Well, good luck.
Go back outside and talk to soldier???
Hey, if you don't calm down, > you won't get a good evaluation...
Talk to Sephiroth on 2F
*** NIVINN_2: Nibelheim Inn ***
Cloud:
What are you looking at?
Sephiroth:
...This scenery...... I feel like I know this place.
Soldier:
We're short one bed...
Talk to Sephiroth again
Sephiroth:
.........
Sephiroth:
...We have an early start tomorrow. You should get some sleep soon.
It's still early.
Sephiroth:
...I'm not going to wake you up tomorrow.
Yeah, let's get some sleep.
Sephiroth:
I've hired a guide to the Mako reactor.
I've heard she's young, I hope we can rely on her...
*** NIVL: Nibelheim ***

Sephiroth:
Hey, stay over here!
Try to go into mountain
Hey, calm down! Wait over here.
Guy in white shirt:
Think they'd let me take a picture?
Top soldier:
I was so nervous. I couldn't get any sleep...
Bottom soldier:
...Late again.
Tifa's father:
If I knew this was going to happen, I would've made mountain climbing off limits...
Inn

Talk to Sephiroth
Sephiroth:
Once the guide gets here, we're heading out.
Tifa's father:
Listen to me, Sephiroth. In case something happens...
Sephiroth:
...Trust me.
Tifa:
I'll be all right, Dad!
I have two men from SOLDIER with me.
Tifa:
I'm Tifa. Nice to meet you!
Cloud:
Tifa! You're the guide?
Tifa:
That's right.
I just happen to be the number one guide in this town.
Cloud:
It's too dangerous! I can't involve you in something like this!
Sephiroth:
Then there's no problem if you protect her.
Sephiroth:
...Let's go.
Ummm...
Mr. Sephiroth! Please let me take one picture for a memento!
Tifa, can you ask him for me too......?
Cheeeeese!
Great, thank you!
I'll give each of you a copy once I get it developed!
*** MTNVL2: Mt. Nibel ***
A Mako Reactor was built in Mt. Nibel.

I hate myself for asking you this, but...
Don't take your eyes off of Tifa! Hurry up and go back to her side!
Inn
*** NIVINN_1: Nibelheim Inn ***
Zangan:
Oh? Did you come crying home?
Innkeeper:
Hey, you want to rest?
Yes, please
It's already been paid for. Go on, get some rest.
Forget it
Go up mountain path
*** MTNVL3: Mt. Nibel ***
Tifa:
It gets harder from here! Follow me!
Soldier:
Let's hurry.
Another guy??
I'm all right. >You watch yourself too, Guide.
Tifa:
Uh...the bridge!!
*** MTNVL4: Mt. Nibel ***
Sephiroth:
Everyone seems to be all right. Can we get back to where we were?
Tifa:
These caves are intertwined, just like an ant farm...
Oh, and Sephiroth... There seems to be one person missing...
Sephiroth:
It may sound cold, but we've got no time to search for him. We can't go back now, so we must go on. We'll travel together from here.
Go up-right into cave
*** NVDUN2: Mt. Nibel Cave ***
Cloud:
What's this?
Tifa:
A mysteriously colored cave...
Sephiroth:
It must be the Mako energy. This mountain is especially abundant in it. That's why the Mako Reactor was built here.
*** NVDUN3: Mt. Nibel Cave ***
Cloud:
...And what's this?
Sephiroth:
A Mako fountain. It's a miracle of nature.
Tifa:
It's so beautiful...
Tifa:
If the Mako Reactor continues to suck up the energy, this fountain will dry up too...
*** NVDUN31: Mt. Nibel Cave ***
Sephiroth:
Materia. When you condense Mako energy, materia is produced.
It's very rare to be able to see materia in its natural state.
Cloud:
By the way... Why is it that when you use materia you can also use magic too?
Sephiroth:
You were in SOLDIER and didn't even know that?
Sephiroth:
...the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients is held in the materia.
Sephiroth:
Anyone with this knowledge can freely use the powers of the Land and the Planet. That knowledge interacts between ourselves and the planet calling up magic......or so they say.
Cloud:
Magic......a mysterious power...
Sephiroth:
Ha, ha, ha !
Cloud:
Did I say somethin' funny?
Sephiroth:
A man once told me never to use an unscientific term such as mysterious power! It shouldn't even be called 'magic'!
I still remember how angry he was.
Cloud:
Who was that?
Sephiroth:
Hojo of Shinra, Inc.... An inexperienced man assigned to take over the work of a great scientist.
He was a walking mass of complexes.
Tifa:
A Mako fountain... So this is where the knowledge of the Ancients is.
*** MTNVL6B: Nibel Reactor ***
Tifa:
We finally made it. We sure took the long way though.
Cloud:
Tifa, you wait here.
Tifa:
I'm going inside too! I wanna see!
Sephiroth:
Only authorized people are allowed in. This place is full of Shinra's industrial secrets.
Tifa:
But!
Sephiroth:
Take care of the lady.
Tifa:
Mm, man!
Tifa:
Better take real good care of me then!
Go into reactor, talk to Sephiroth
*** NVMKIN21: Nibel Reactor(Int.) ***
Cloud:
This is ......Jenova, right? The lock won't open...
Sephiroth:
This is the reason for the malfunction. This part is broken.
Cloud, close the valve.
Sephiroth:
Did you close the valve?
Check the pod that Sephiroth was looking at, then talk to Sephiroth again
Sephiroth:
Why did it break...?
Sephiroth:
...now I see, Hojo.
But, even doing this, will never put you on the same level as Professor Gast.
Sephiroth:
This is a system that condenses and freezes the Mako energy... that is, when it's working correctly.
Now...what does Mako energy become when it's further condensed?
Cloud:
Uh, umm......Oh yeah! It becomes a Materia.
Sephiroth:
Right, normally. But Hojo put something else in there. ...Take a look.
Talk to Sephiroth
Sephiroth:
Look through the window.
Cloud:
Wh...what is this!?
Sephiroth:
Normal members of SOLDIER are humans that have been showered with Mako.
You're different from the others, but still human.
But, what are they? They've been exposed to a high degree of Mako, far more than you.
Cloud:
...is this some kind of monster?
Sephiroth:
Exactly. And it's Hojo of Shinra that produced these monsters.
Mutated living organisms produced by Mako energy. That's what these monster's really are.
Cloud:
Normal members of SOLDIER? You mean you're different?
Cloud:
H...hey, Sephiroth!
Sephiroth:
N...no ......
Sephiroth:
...Was I?
Sephiroth:
...Was I created this way too?
Cloud:
...Sephiroth.
Sephiroth:
Am I the same as all these monsters......
Sephiroth:
You saw it! All of them...were humans...
Cloud:
Human!? No way!
Sephiroth:
...I've always felt since I was small...
That I was different from the others. Special, in some way.
Sephiroth:
But... not like this...
*** BLACKBG9 ***
Am I ......human?
I didn't quite understand what Sephiroth was saying at that time.
I was even more surprised by that fact that Shinra was producing monsters.
*** ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f. ***
Barret:
Damn, Shinra! The more I hear, the more I hate 'em!
Tifa:
......who would have ever thought the Mako Reactor held a secret like that.
Red XIII:
That would seem to explain the increase in the number of monsters recently.
I think we should listen carefully to Cloud. Don't you think so Barret?
Barret:
(Why you talkin' to me!?)
Save game and take a rest
Barret:
Yeah, mebbe so. Wanna take a breather here?
Save point
Barret:
......I get it.
Keep talking
Barret:
Hmph! Pokin' his damn nose in where it don't belong. Cloud! Why don't you finish that story?
Red XIII:
(Phew......)
Aeris:
Tifa... You were waiting outside then?
Tifa:
......Yes.
Cloud:
We returned to Nibelheim. Sephiroth confined himself at the inn. He didn't even try to talk to me.
Tifa:
Then all of a sudden he just disappeared, right?
Cloud:
We found him inside the biggest building in Nibelheim.
Tifa:
The villagers used to call it Shinra mansion.
Cloud:
Long ago, people from Shinra used to live in that mansion...
*** NIVL ***
Man in white shirt:
What's Sephiroth doing?
Zangan:
There's nothing that'll harm the town, right?
Why...?
Cloud:
...Why do you ask?
Zangan:
The Shinra showed up to eliminate any information that could be an embarrassment to the company...
You pick these things up when you travel as much as I do.
No way!
Cloud:
It's Sephiroth. He would never do that.
Zangan:
...Oh my. You sure do have faith.
Tifa's father:
Until we know that there's no danger, we're not moving.
Go into mansion
*** SININ2_2: Mansion, 2f. ***
Soldier on 2F:
There's no sign of Sephiroth, but I know I saw him go into this room...
Go into basement
*** SININB31: Mansion, Basement ***
Sephiroth:
...an organism that was apparently dead, was found in a 2000 year old geological stratum.
Sephiroth:
Professor Gast named that organism, Jenova...
Sephiroth:
X Year, X Month, X Day. Jenova confirmed to be an Ancient...
Sephiroth:
X Year, X Month, X Day. Jenova Project approved. The use of Mako Reactor 1 approved for use...
*** SININB41: Mansion, Basement ***
Sephiroth:
My mother's name is Jenova... Jenova Project... Is this just a coincidence?
Sephiroth:
Professor Gast... Why didn't you tell me anything? ...Why did you die?
Sephiroth:
Let me be alone.
Get out
Sephiroth didn't come out of the Shinra Mansion...
He continued to read as if he were possessed by something, and not once, did the light in the basement go out......
*** SININ2_2: Mansion, 2f. ***
Soldier:
Sephiroth seems different.
*** SININB31: Mansion, basement ***
Sephiroth:
Ha, ha, ha ......
*** SININB51: Mansion, basement ***
Sephiroth:
Who is it!?
Sephiroth:
Hmph...traitor.
Cloud:
Traitor?
Sephiroth:
You ignorant traitor. I'll tell you.
This Planet originally belonged to the Cetra. Cetra was a itinerant race. They would migrate in, settle the Planet, then move on...
At the end of their harsh, hard journey, they would find the Promised Land and supreme happiness.
Sephiroth:
But, those that disliked the journey appeared. Those who stopped their migrations built shelters and elected to lead an easier life.
They took that which the Cetra and the planet had made without giving back one whit in return!
Sephiroth:
Those are your ancestors.
Cloud:
Sephiroth...
Sephiroth:
Long ago, disaster struck this planet.
Sephiroth:
Your ancestors escaped... They survived because they hid.
Sephiroth:
The Planet was saved by sacrificing the Cetra. After that, your ancestors continued to increase.
Sephiroth:
Now all that's left of the Cetra is in these reports.
Cloud:
What does that have to do with you?
Sephiroth:
Don't you get it?
Sephiroth:
An Ancient named Jenova was found in the geological stratum of 2000 years ago.
Sephiroth:
The Jenova Project.
Sephiroth:
The Jenova Project wanted to produce people with the powers of the Ancients...... no, the Cetra.
Sephiroth:
...I am the one that was produced.
Cloud:
Pr...produced!?
*** SININB41: Mansion, basement ***
Sephiroth:
Yes.
Professor Gast, leader of the Jenova Project and genius scientist, produced me.
Cloud:
How...how did he...?
Cloud:
Se...Sephiroth?
Sephiroth:
Out of my way. I'm going to see my mother.
Go outside
*** NIVL_B1: Nibelheim ***
He---y! Is anyone here?
Give me a hand!
Zangan:
Hey it's you! You're still sane, right?
Zangan:
Then come over here and help me!
Zangan:
I'll check this house. You check that one over there!
Man in white shirt:
...Hey, Ummm... Am I going to die?
Soldier:
...Sephi...roth
Zangan:
Hey, what about the other houses?
Cloud:
Terrible...
Sephiroth... This is too terrible...
*** NVMKIN1: Nibel Reactor(Int.) ***
Tifa:
Papa...
Tifa:
Sephiroth!?
Tifa:
Sephiroth did this to you, didn't he!?
Tifa:
Sephiroth... SOLDIER... Mako Reactors... Shinra... Everything!
Tifa:
I hate them all!
*** NVMKIN21: Nibel Reactor(Int.) ***
Sephiroth:
Mother, I'm here to see you. Please, open this door.
Tifa:
How could you do that to papa and all the townspeople?
Tifa:
...You promised... You promised that you'd come...... when I was in trouble...
*** NVMKIN31: Nibel Reactor(Int.) ***
Sephiroth:
Mother, let's take this planet back together.
I've thought of a great idea. Let's go to the Promised Land.
Cloud:
Sephiroth...
Cloud:
My family! My hometown! How could you do this to them!?
Sephiroth:
Ha, ha, ha ...... They've come again, mother.
Sephiroth:
With her superior power, knowledge, and magic, Mother was destined to become the ruler of this Planet.
*** Video ***
But they...
Those worthless creatures
are stealing the planet from Mother
But now I'm here with you
So don't worry
*** NVMKIN32: Nibel Reactor(Int.) ***
Cloud:
What about MY sadness!? My family...friends... The sadness of having my hometown taken away from me!?
It's the same as your sadness!
Sephiroth:
Ha, ha, ha ...my sadness? What do I have to be sad about?
I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet.
Sephiroth:
I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?
Cloud:
Sephiroth... I trusted you...
Cloud:
No, you're not the Sephiroth I used to know!
*** ELMINN_2: Inn: 2f. ***
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!
