Zidane's quote


"You don't need a reason to help people." (FFIX)
"No cloud, nor squall shall hinder us!" (FFIX)
"Sometimes, you can't think everything out. You have to listen to your heart." (FFIX)
"I had a whole speech ready for her. But it would've been a lie! How could I lie to her!?"(FFIX)
"It's a big fat lie! That's not how I feel at all! That's not how I feel... at all." (FFIX)

Squall's quote


"... Whatever."

"What am I supposed to say about other people's problems?"

"Everyone has to take care of themselves. I don't want to carry anyone's burden."

"I'm more complex than you think."

"I'd rather not talk about it."

Loveless (Interpreted)


Act I (Interpreted)
The infinite mystery
The gift of the goddess is what the three men seek
But their fates are scattered by war

One becomes a hero, one wanders the land
And the last is taken prisoner

But the three are still bound by a solemn oath
To seek the answer together, once again

Act II (Interpreted)
Though the prisoner escapes, he is gravely wounded
His life is saved, however
By a woman of the opposing nation

He begins a life of seclusion with her
Which seems to hold the promise of eternal bliss

But as happiness grows, so does guilt
Of not fulfilling the oath to his friends

Act III (Interpreted)
As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey

He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends

Though no oath is shared between the lovers
In their hearts they know they will meet again

Act IV (Interpreted)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
in my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
the wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Interpreted)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Somnus Nemoris


Somnus Nemoris (Dream of the Wood)
The kingdom sleeps
and children sacrify theirselves day by day
until they extinguish,
and they will never awake.

This tragedy destroys,
in front of them,
every beloved thing.

And in this never-ending night,
Look there, the real vision
on the edge;? I will see you
and the next morning the time will awake.

Loveless


Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice
