Mission list . 01 - Pond Scum . " The gelatinous rube beside that pond is the very ectopudding I seek ! I need only slay it to avoid becoming a Cie ' th . " " How many years must it have been since I left the village in pursuit of that vile pest ? My brand will not wait forever . I must kill it , and quick . And then , when I awaken from my crystal slumber , I can help to repair the ruin it left in its wake . . . " 02 - Goodwill Hunting . " Time runs short . Today is the day I put an end to that troublesome uridimmu ! The problem , I fear , will be the pack of loyal gorgonopsids . The master alone is a worthy enough foe . Must I face the hounds as well ? " " Alas . . . if it must be so , so be it . " 03 - Massif Contamination . " I must hurry to the Yaschas Massif . For the ugallu — lord of its peaks — is my prey . Yet those peaks loom distant on the horizon , and already my limbs refuse the urgings of my mind . Please , obey but for a few days more ! " " Would that I could still the passage of time . . . " 04 - A Hero ' s Charge . " You mean to tell me my Focus is to hunt that one - eyed adroa that plagues the Ascendant Scarp ? Did I really need to be made a l ' Cie to go hunting ? Did I not do that every day ? Are l ' Cie not meant to fight Cocoon ? Is that not the reason I left , boasting of the feats of heroism I would accomplish ? " " . . . Am I never to return home again ? " 05 - Joyless Reunion . " So , I ' m told to rid the world of Edimmu . She was prowling the Tsumitran Basin last I heard . " " Perhaps it is time to pay her a final visit , and join her as a Cie ' th . I could not bear to raise a weapon against my own wife , after all . Not even if her mind is no longer her own . " 06 - No Place Like Home . " At last , reason to be thankful for the gift of l ' Cie power ! I am charged with slaying a munchkin maestro — the very creature which brought devastation upon my home I left behind . " " When I have put an end to this demon , and saved the village . . . please , bear my crystal to the forum . There I shall rest , never to leave my beloved home again . " 07 - Bituitus , the Pillager . " The Undying — fearsome Cie ' th who defy fal ' Cie will , driven by an intense loathing of all that lives . The Pillager , Bituitus , is of their number , and it is my fate to seal his . " " Villages that survived the war remain unsafe , for his path of destruction sweeps through them all . Even my own fell before him . The demon is said to make his fastness in the Paddraean archaeopolis , but he will find no sanctuary from me there . " 08 - The Eleventh Hour . " A rakshasa lurks along the route to the Yaschas Massif , and I ' m supposed to hunt it down ? I think I ' ll pass ! If it ' s crystal or Cie ' th , my life is over anyway . I might as well make the most of it ! From here on out , I live for " me " ! " 09 - Heave - ho . " Even with the power of a l ' Cie — a kaiser behemoth ? Really ? So I have the choice of being gored to death beside that pond , or wandering the wild as an eternally damned Cie ' th ? Lovely . " " All those years of hard work and careful planning of this ! I should have lived more for the moment . " 10 - Hollow Hope . " The war claimed my family . The war claimed my home . This focus is my last remaining hope . " " I long for the release of crystal sleep . Perhaps when I wake the world will be a better place . I should hurry and destroy the ambling bellows raising havoc on the steppe ' s northern highplain . " 11 - Pride Before a Fall . " My focus this time appears to be dispatching an adroa on the Archylte Steppe . I don ' t know how many years have passed since the fal ' Cie last called upon me , but there seem to be more beasts about . " " Not that it matters . Provided I can complete my Focus and retain my master ' s favor , I will never die . And a little hardship is a small price to pay for an eternity of peaceful dreaming . " 12 - Geiseric , the Profane . " The Undying — fearsome Cie ' th who defy fal ' Cie will , driven by an intense loathing of all that lives . Geiseric , the Profane , is of their number , and my Focus is his doom . He is said to lead a horde of Cie ' th on the steppe ' s western benchland . " " To think you would become such a Cie ' th , Geiseric ! You , who would not harm a fly . Whatever part of you lingers in that grotesque prison of crystal and flesh must suffer . I will set you free my friend . " 13 - Eternity Unpromised . " It is a cruel and contemptible contest the fal ' Cie have devised , but one from which I may not yet absent myself . We assembled l ' Cie must overcome innumerable obstacles as we compete to slay the goblin chieftain on the northern highplain . The prize ? Freedom from bondage as a l ' Cie . " " I will win , be made human again , and return to propose to my lover , from whose arms the tyrant fal ' Cie stole me . " 14 - Defender of the Flock . " A sahagin infestation threatens the steppe chocobos who roost at the Font of Namva — those gentle souls I ' ve known since I was a child ! " " The great and merciful fal ' Cie heard my plea , and granted me the power to save them , I may never again be able to feel the warmth of their golden down , but I can think of no happier way to spend eternity than watching over them from the water ' s edge . " 15 - Tribal Warfare . " There are other l ' Cie who share my Focus . The first to complete it is the winner , with freedom from this l ' Cie fate as his prize . But for all who have tried , none have yet survived . " " . . . So I guess that will make me the first ! No more being a fal ' Cie tool for me ! Just need to take out that goblin chieftain on the northern highplain , near the range of the behemoth king . . . " 16 - Surrogate Slayer . " My dear , sweet sister set out with her grandiose dreams of saving the chocobos , but never returned . I have sought her crystal high and low , but it is nowhere to be found . Can it be that she turned into a Cie ' th ? No , she will return — she must . But until she does , there is no one to defend the flock . " " Perhaps if I complete her Focus , the fal ' Cie will set her free ? I will set out for the Font of Namva at dawn , and put an end to the sahagin ' s predation ! " 17 - A Widow ' s Wrath . " A Pulsework champion that had been working the Mah ' habara Subterra Subterra has gone haywire , and is now raising chaos on the steppe ' s northern highplain . It is my Focus to see the automaton deactivated — a duty which I undertake not only at the fal ' Cie ' s behest , but for my husband , whom the accursed machine butchered . " " By all that is sacred , I will not rest until I have torn it washer from bolt ! " 18 - So Close , Yet So Far . " Who designed this place ? It ' s a maze of dead ends ! How am I supposed to find the ambling bellows ? Knowing it ' s in a twilight cavern doesn ' t help much when I ' m trapped in a maze of the blasted things ! " " Curse my luck . I ' m running out of time . I ' d every intention of fulfilling my Focus , and now I ' m going to end up a Cie ' th ! " 19 - Triangle of Tragedy . " Time is of the essence . He must not defeat me in this ! I must be the one to slay the uridimmu at Sulyya Springs . " " We were always together — he , my princess and I — but it was he who won her love . Were " he " now to turn to crystal , I fear it would break her heart . . . and so it must be me ! Then my princess can live out her days in happiness , as a princess rightly should . " 20 - Words Unspoken . " When father told me he was leaving us , I struck him full in the face . I can still remember the look in his eye to this day . . . just as I ' ll never forget the way he picked himself up and left without a word . I found out later that he had turned to crystal . It pain me now to think of how I never made any attempt to understand how he suffered under the burden of his Focus . That is why I must triumph over the goblin chieftain near Taejin ' s Tower — so that someday I can tell him that I am sorry . " 21 - A Tremulous Terror . " Brave soul , head my plea and we shall bring light to your dark path . " " Know that a gelatitan holds my power thrall within this spire . Slay it and I shall once more be free .

" The Undying — fearsome Cie ' th who defy fal ' Cie will , driven by an intense loathing of all that lives . Mithridates , the lone , is of their number , and his undoing is my burden . " " It is said in life he once loved music . I can but hope the notes sounded by the elevator in Taejin ' s Tower descending from the apex might lure him out , and allow me to restore a touch of harmony to the discord of the tower ' s tainted song . " 28 - Faded Glory . " This timeworn ghost town is Oerba ? I hardly recognize the place ! Could the ceratosaurs I ' ve been sent to destroy have done this ? And even if they did , what purpose would it serve to eradicate them now ? Are the fal ' Cie planning to raise a new village in this white wasteland ? " " Well , whatever they intend , I suppose I ' d better get to the harbor where the creatures nest . . . " 29 - Faltering Faith . " The cloven spire of Taejin ' s Tower forms the bridge between the Archylte Steppe and the outlying lands . Yet a rampaging juggernaut now bars all passage , and I have been charged with its disposal . " " Why do the fal ' Cie value that place so ? Why do they protect it , and yet stand idly by when our village is threatened ? I sense the place must guard some secret of theirs . . . " 30 - Syphax , the Insidious . " The Undying — fearsome Cie ' th who defy Fal ' Cie will , driven by an intense loathing of all that lives . Syphax , the Insidious , is of their number — a number of which I am tasked with bringing low . " " My mark dwells in the abandoned dig Cie ' th lair deep withing the bowels of Mah ' habara Subterra . He ' s a treacherous foe , to be sure , but one I must overcome if I am to see my crystallized beloved again . " 31 - Newfound Purpose . " It doesn ' t much matter if it ' s destroying a Pulsework champion in the Haerii archaeopolis or picking flowers in the yard — if it ' s my Focus , I ' m going to do it . Life was boring before , with nothing to live for . But now I ' m a l ' Cie , I have a Focus — and life is beautiful , the clouds have parted , and . . . and there are " rainbows " ! Cie ' th or crystal , it ' s all the same to me — so long as I can put myself to the test , challenge my own limits , and win ! " 32 - And Then There Was One . " Fate is not without a sense of irony , it seems . I am commanded to hunt the amam that stalks a pond in the steppe ' s western benchland — just as the rest of my family were once charged , to their doom . They are Cie ' th now , and I alone am left to put an end to the abomination ' s bloody reign . " " I am coming for you creature . I will have my revenge . " 33 - A Parent ' s Pledge . " I have been charged with putting down a stray adamanchelid that wanders the steppe ' s eastern tors , no doubt seeking its lost parents . " " What kind of monster could preform such a deed ? Not a day goes by I don ' t recall the pain of losing a child to a rampaging beast . Would I now subject other parents to that fate ? No , I forsake my Focus . The cycle of suffering ends here . " 34 - Zenobia , The Butcher . " The Undying — fearsome Cie ' th who defy fal ' Cie will , driven by an intense loathing of all that lives . Zenobia , The Butcher , is of their number , and I , of her line . But I go now to stay her blade , as my father and his father before him once attempted .

" " Entreat with the Undying Attacus , whose blade is hate made manifest , and become one with life ' s circle again . " 52 - Head in the Clouds . " Why do men dream of flying ? And why must we be without wings ? True , a nest of vipers hangs in our sky . Yet were the sky the province of all things harmful to life , still would I gladly soar amongst the clouds .

Then again , crystals cannot fly , and some Cie ' th can . . . " 53 - Freedom from Fear . " Curse my luck ! I ' ve lost it again . Last I saw , it was heading in the direction of . . . where ? The southern part of the Yaschas Massif , perhaps ? Damn that zirnitra and its wanderlust ! It ' s caused me so much trouble , I think I ' d kill it even if that weren ' t my Focus ! " " . . .

" We five l ' Cie are the Shepherds who see the caravan safe from harm . Though we act as one , it falls to me to fulfill our Focus , for I am the leader , and what manner of leader would shirk his most onerous of duties ? I could not abide such shame .

" I ' ve been given the Focus of eliminating a stampeding adamantortoise in the eastern tors of the Archylte Steppe .

I would be enraged if someone attacked " my " child ! It just seems so wrong . . . " 64 - The Doomherald . " Vercingetorix , bane lord of the Undying , lives on . But how ? I smote the fiend ' s ruin so long ago it seems an eternity . Yet it was my Focus then , as it is now , and at his end I turned to crystal .

There do I go , to bury the beast as many times as I must . "
