Genomes
This page contains many major plot spoilers so if you have not finished the game,
you may want to stop reading now! |

"Welcome home. This is the place where you belong. The place to which you
shall offer yourself... is here." (Mikoto) |
| |
|
"We possess no age. We were built this way. In time, we will receive souls.
Then our bodies will begin to grow." (a genome) |
| |
|
"Gaia's blue light causes pain to those of us who were created by the civilisation
of Terra. Pain resistance is also part of adaptation to the environment." (a genome) |
| |
|
"The waxing and waning of the moon, the respiration of the planets... Motion
in stilness, stillness in motion..." (a genome) |
| |
|
"A planet's colour indicate its shape... Gaia is blue, Terra red. When the
souls of Terra and Gaia mix, Terra will be integrated into the larger Gaia... Souls flow... as the planets
turn... The flow of souls means that a planet has life... The stoppage of souls means that a planet is dead...
A planet's shimmer is its breath, a sign of life-activity caused by the cycling of souls." (a genome) |

"So, this is what you wanted to show me?" (Zidane)
"Yes. I am glad you understand." (Mikoto)
"I don't wanna understand! Sorry, but I'm not like that. I mean all these guys with tails,
who look just like me... They're just a bunch of zombies." (Zidane)
"They are my peers. We are Genomes. We live in this village." (Mikoto)
"Genomes? Is that what they're called?" (Zidane)
"Not just them, but you and me too. It is the name of the seed given to all of us. Its name
is Genome." (Mikoto)
"Talk about a let-down. Who would've guessed that the home I've yearned for would be a
dump like this. No wonder I never found it. It's not even on Gaia!" (Zidane)
"Why are you not happy? You have returned to the place of your birth." (Mikoto)
"Happy? You guys can process that emotion? Look at 'em! Look at their blank faces!" (Zidane)
"What can we do? After all, we are made that way. And we are built to watch over each other
and work together as soulless Genomes." (Mikoto)
"What's it all for!? Get to the point! How come I grew up on Gaia if I was born here?
I'm alive! I have a soul! Why is everyone here so..." (Zidane)
"Because you are... special." (Mikoto)
"What!?" (Zidane)
"We are vessels. You were given a geater purpose. The will of Garland is absolute." (Mikoto)
"Garland? Who's that?" (Zidane)
"Garland watches over this planet. His mission is to restore the people of Terra." (Mikoto)
"Restore the people of Terra? You mean people besides these guys here?" (Zidane)
"They are merely vessels. So am I, and so are you. But the true people of Terra have
been asleep for ages, waiting for their time to come. When the time is right, the light of this planet will
change from blue to red, and Gaia will become Terra." (Mikoto)
"Wait a sec! So the people of Terra are out to take over Gaia!?" (Zidane)
"What else can there be? Terra has always absorbed new planets to survive. And when the
time comes, the souls of the people of Terra will occupy the Genomes. Such is the restauration of the people
of Terra." (Mikoto)
"Why do they have to be so tedious!? Why don't they just wipe us out with like they did in
Alexandria!?" (Zidane)
"Once, Garland tried to use a more forceful method, but failed." (Mikoto)
"Then he should just quit and leave Gaia alone!" (Zidane)
"Because of his failure, he was forced to wait a long time... To wait until Gaia's civilisations
gained tremendous power: The power to use eidolons." (Mikoto)
"So that's why you attacked the summoners' village and destroyed Alexandria?" (Zidane)
"Planets have a cycle of souls. Souls are born from the planet, and then return to it.
Garland planned to gain control of that very cycle... and you were supposed to help him achieve that." (Mikoto)
"What!?" (Zidane)
"Garland is waiting for you. Come... He awaits where the souls sleep. The floating
castle, where souls bide their time until their restauration... Pandemonium. Will you not say farewell to
your friends?" (Mikoto)
"I don't care what I am... I was born here, wasn't I? If so, then I am an enemy of the
people of Gaia." (Zidane)
"You learn quickly." (Mikoto)
"Make no mistake. I won't join your side. I just... If we are actually relatives, then...
then I want to take care of this little family matter myself." (Zidane) [teleports away]
"He went to find out the reason of his existence. Heaven grant the wandering
souls eternal respose." (Mikoto)

"What are you still doing here? We need to evacuate!" (Zidane)
"What's the point? They're only empty vessels..." (Mikoto)
"Stop talking like that! Do you really believe what youjust said!?" (Zidane)
"... Unlike the rest of them, Garland gave me a soul, that I may replace you and Kuja.
But Garland is dead. Terra will soon be destroyed. What's the point?" (Mikoto)
"I asked myself the same question..." (Zidane)
"Did you find an answer?" (Mikoto)
"No... but maybe the point is to just try. It's gonna be hard... but I've got my friends.
It isn't so bad. You'll have to find the answer yourself. It'll be hard, but you can do it." (Zidane) |

"It's like watching kids play." (Amarant)
"It's not their fault. They've only just begun to live their lives!" (Freya)
"Can lost time be recovered?" (Amarant)
"I don't know... But there's only one thing we can do. We must protect them from
anyone who tries to take their time away from them!" (Freya)
