==Story==
===Act 1, Ch. 6: The Wastelands of Domina===
Summoned into the conflict by Materia, Mog recruits this prankster monarch in the Domina Wastelands. When a local chocobo informs Mog of an old man nearby, Bartz speculates it could be Galuf, a suspicion reinforced when a manikin of him attacks. Galuf is found lying, apparently unconscious, in the Domina Wastelands. When Bartz and the others rush to help, it turns out that he was simply asleep. When Bartz greets him, Galuf asks "Who are you? And... who am I?" as a joke before greeting Bartz happily. After the situation is explained, Galuf takes it in stride thanks to his past experience of traveling between different planets.
Later, Galuf gathers with Shadow, Sazh, Laguna, Steiner, and Yang to have a relaxing conversation away from the more youthful party members. They discuss their family left behind, and Galuf notes Shadow has been mumbling about a daughter in his sleep. When Sazh turns the inquiries on Galuf, he feigns amnesia, to their exasperation.
===Lost Chapter: Balamb Whiplash===
Galuf first meets Quistis shortly after a group led by Laguna discovers and then recruits her in a lava field near Capta Est Tower. At the time, although Laguna was from her world, he was summoned from before a time when he had met her. While exploring together, Galuf's and Quistis' group encounters Squall and Zell, who become the first from their world to recognize her. They warmly welcome her, and Quistis immediately notes with surprise Squall’s concern for her well-being, to which Galuf and Steiner reassure her that this concern for his comrades is typical of his demeanour in this world. At this point, Galuf and the others take a break to explain the warriors' full situation to Quistis. 
After leaving the lava field and traveling along the coast, Galuf joins Quistis as she recounts to a few of her comrades what was happening in her world to the moment before she was taken up into the world of respite. Quistis recalls losing her position as instructor at Balamb Garden and she remembers fighting Ultimecia, but realizes that there remain large gaps in her knowledge as a result from her use of guardian forces. Galuf and Faris commiserate and reassure her, both having experienced bouts of memory loss in their own worlds. The conversation moves towards how the gods of the world have intentionally imposed similar bouts of selective memory loss upon all the warriors of light, as to keep them focused in their fight against the Torsions.
===Lost Chapter: The Power of Valor===
Cater joins the ranks of the warriors of light as they search for a torsion that had opened up in the area. Galuf is with her when she finds and successfully closes the torsion, and commends her on her strength. This invites a comment from Vincent, who pairs his compliments to her talent with a critique of her hubris, upsetting her with his lecturing.
As Rem and King try to temper Vincent's comment to help Cater understand him, Galuf notes that Yuffie and Cater are in many ways alike. Yuffie is upset by the implication, which in turn offends Cater, and the two yell at each other while Galuf notes that his point had just been proven. Yuffie demands to know if she had ever been as annoying as Cater is. When she is met with an awkward silence, Galuf and the others walk away, leaving Cater and Yuffie to themselves.
===Act 2, Ch. 8: Whither the Wind Returns===
After Bartz had given his memories to his Dark Manikin, the team searches for it to restore him. They come across their own Dark Manikins and recover their lost memories. Galuf becomes aware of his future in his home world, and reassures his granddaughter that they hadn't have time to worry about him. After recovering Bartz's brilliance, Galuf and Bartz discuss knowing about their futures in their home worlds. Galuf remarks how Dorgann's son had grown well.
