Final Fantasy X Complete Script

Chapter II: Besaid Island

Wakka: (Yevon bow in slow-motion) Go ahead, you try.
Tidus: Hm. Imitates a bit clumsily)
Wakka: Hey, not bad. (slaps shoulder) Okay, now go present yourself to the temple summoner. (Leaves)

Narration: Any blitzball player would know that prayer. It was the blitzball sign for victory.

Crusaders Lodge (last hut on left)

[Tidus finds at a table poring over chart]
: Hey, you! You were attacked by Sin...right? Recently was it?
Tidus: I think so.
Gatta: So, Sin can't be far, right? You're not hiding anything, are you?
Tidus: Why would I?
: If Sin's nearby, it'll attack the island for sure. But it hasn't. I wonder why?
Tidus: I'm sorry. I really don't know anything. To tell the truth, I don't even know what the Crusaders are.
Gatta: You're kidding, right?
Luzzu: Sin! The toxin! Gatta, tell him who we are!
Gatta: Yes, sir! (stands, salutes) The Crusaders are sworn to battle Sin! We have chapters throughout Spira, accepting all who wish to join our struggle! The hero Mi'ihen formed the Crusaders eight hundred years ago as the Crimson Blades. Later, our ranks grew and we called ourselves the Crusaders. We've been fighting Sin ever since!
Tidus: What, you've been fighting eight hundred years and you still haven't beat it?
Gatta: (Stammers)
Luzzu: Well, we've steered Sin away from towns many times! And that's all we can do. Nobody's ever been able to defeat it. Our mission as Crusaders is to protect the temples, towns, villages, and people of Spira.
Tidus: So then whose job is it to defeat Sin?
Gatta: Is Sin's toxin really this bad, sir?
Luzzu: It does seem rather bad...
Luzzu: We could just tell you, but I think it better for you to try and remember. Go pray at the temple. Perhaps Yevon will help you regain your memory.

¬Gatta: But soon, we may be able to finally defeat Sin. We've got a plan–one that'll go down in Crusader history!

¬Luzzu: We've been excommunicated from Yevon. We must go, now. Everything is riding on our next...our last battle!

Wandering Village Square

Note: In Besaid Village, there's one of each NPC model, and you can follow them around if you're really patient. They say different things in different parts of the village. My nicknames are based on comments they drop at different times.

: I heard the Sin toxin got to you. Took your memory, eh?
I'd be happy to teach you anything you've forgotten, sonny.

What's Sin?How could you forget Sin? I can't say I don't envy you, though. There's many who would give anything to forget the pain Sin has brought. Sin appeared a thousand years ago, a raging demon intent on reducing Spira to rubble. Everyone in Spira lives under Sin's shadow. But to forget Sin...well, I'd consider yourself lucky, eh?
¬Something else you'd like to know, eh?What's toxin?The foul vapors that boil from Sin's hide are evil indeed...One breath, and it will taint the very core of your body. People who get too close to Sin forget even the most important things. Just like you, eh?
¬Something else you'd like to know, eh?What's Yevon?How wretched you must be, to have forgotten the teachings of Yevon! The teachings are the only salvation for those who suffer becasuse of Sin. I'm sure you followed the teachings, before the toxin got to you, of course. Go pray at the temple, and all will return in time.
¬Something else you'd like to know, eh?What's Zanarkand?Zanarkand was once a great city in the far north of this land. Now it lies in a ruin, destroyed by Sin a thousand years ago. Such was its punishment for relying too much on machina.
¬Something else you'd like to know, eh?No, thanks, I'll pass. [after receiving at least one answer, becomes...] No thanks, gramps.

¬Gramps: Maybe if I remind you of some things, you'll remember who you are! (Menu opens again)

: Me favorite's Lord Ohalland, ya? Spitting image of me old hubby.
