East End Shops

Batahn’s Technicks

Rabanastran (man speaking to other man at bookshelf): Technicks are skills that let you do things no magicks can. Stealing treasures from your foes, stanching wounds… Well, you should know!

Rabanastran (woman talking to red bangaa): My friend here was just telling me about the Salikawood, a great forest that lies beyond the desert, even the mountains. It was once part of the Kingdom of Nabradia, but no one has claimed it since Nabradia’s fall.

The Sandsea

Rabanastran (man sitting at table with woman): The marks from the hunts on the notice board are trouble enough, but I hear there are even tougher hunts out there… The really difficult hunts don’t go up on the boards at all. You can only find out about them through a clan. Huh, they must be some marks…

Tavernmaster: There was a bangaa from the Empire through here, said he was lookin’ for help with something… Can’t for the life of me remember what, though. I do remember he said he’d be out at Westgate. If you’re curious about what he wanted, you can always go ask him yourself.

Rabanastran (black bangaa at bar): Some paths may only be navigated on a chocobo. Not many, to be sure, but they’re there. You need a careful eye to spot ‘em.

Barkeep (man near base of stairs): There was a tremendous explosion in the west, yes? And the Rains have come to Giza, yes? Of course, it had been the Dry for some time… I suppose the one has nothing to do with the other, yes?

Barkeep (woman on balcony): I’m so glad all of our patrons can use the balcony again. Before the war it was such a lively place, but no so since the Imperials had come. If he never does another thing for us, I’ll still be grateful to our new consul.

Yugri’s Magicks

Rabanastran (woman in pink, yellow, and blue browsing bottles): D’you see that Imperial just there? Word is he was caught ducking his duties in the Sandsea and ordered to stand watch here instead.

Earnest Seeq: Wanted to try out me magicks, so I heads down to the Ozmone Plain. Saw me a garif, and bein’ as you don’t see ‘em every day, I a-followed him. Along the way we passes this cave, and curiosity gets the better of me. So I steps in, but the beasts in there… You best not even know! The garif kept right on past that cave, and he had the right of it.

Panamis’s Protectives

Rabanastran (man in tan and yellow browsing curio): Did you ever notice the guard on the second floor of the Sandsea? I think he may have been caught loafing about on the job. Now he’s been moved over to Yugri’s Magicks, but I doubt that will make any difference.

Rabanastran (red bangaa speaking to woman): Rain may fall and sandstorms may whorl, but I’ve not seen anything to match the coming of the Rains in Giza! The villages empty, and I’d swear the lay of the land itself seems to change! Neither the time nor the place to find yourself lost!

Amal’s Weaponry

Rabanastran (tan bangaa in green vest): Can’t say as I know for certain it’s Lord Vayne’s doing, but the guards do seem to be getting on better with people than they used to. You can be sure the guards aren’t too pleased by it. I’d hate to be whoever or whatever they’re taking their frustrations out on.

Sherral: In addition to my inspections, I’ve been assigned patrols as well. The combat can be trying, I’m not ashamed to admit. I suppose I had let myself grow soft… Mayhap this is just the proper medicine.

Amal: Take the Amal challenge! You’ll not find weapons of higher quality! [shop menu]

Migelo’s Sundries

Rabanastran (woman in pink top and headscarf): They lost contact with the Imperial Fleet out west of Rabanastre. They wouldn’t have flown into jagd, would they? That would be suicide.

Rabanastran (orange seeq): When I was growing up, I heard all manner of stories about the great hume-king Raithwall.

Rabanastran (man talking to tan bangaa): South of Giza Plains? That’s the northern tip of Kerwon. You’ll find races you’ve never even seen in Dalmasca down that way.

Rabanastran (woman in pink, green, and tan): Relations between Archadia and Rozarria haven’t been good. The Rozarrians couldn’t have been glad to see Rabanastre fall to Archadia.

Migelo: Making trouble with the Imperials, sneaking into the sewers… never know which way the wind blows with you, m’boy! Now you’re traveling the world! I won’t try to stop you, though. Just you be sure to look after Penelo while you’re at it, eh?

Rabanastre

Aerodrome

Flights to Bhujerba: Good day, sir. This counter serves travelers wishing to book passage to Bhujerba. We have ships fitted with shops and amenities, or if you prefer to sleep during your journey, ships with only private cabins. Whichever you choose, the price is the same. We will show you aboard as soon as you’ve purchased your ticket. Passage is 200 Gil. How would you like to travel?

>By leisure craft.

Thank you, sir. Enjoy your flight.

>By private cabin.

>I’ve changed my mind.

Do come again.

Bhujerban (man leaning against counter): Have you come to book passage on an airship, friend? Each counter serves a different destination. Pay your fare there. If a given counter is empty, that route is not currently in service, but give it some time and it should open again.

Southern Plaza

Rabanastran (boy in blue by westgate): Hey, Vaan. Penelo’s with you now, right? Phew! What a relief! I know we can count on you to keep her safe, no matter what happens!

Rabanastran (kid walking on south side of fountain): I was so worried about Penelo, I couldn’t even work. But thanks to you, everything’s back to normal again! Heh, heh.

Rabanastran (boy squatting against the wall by East End exit): I heard all about how you saved Penelo, Vaan. You’re practically a hero!

East End

Bucco: What’s that? Penelo’s with you? Phew! I guess all that talk about her bein’ kidnapped was just talk. I was worried for nothin’.

Migelo’s Sundries

Rabanastran (woman in pink and blue headscarf and top): I’ve heard the Imperial Fleet was gathering near Bhujerba. Do you think they were spying on Dorstonis?

Rabanastran (man talking to red bangaa): Migelo had been sulking about for a while, but he finally seems to have cheered up. Not sure why, but I’m not complaining.

Migelo: Ah, Penelo! You’re all right! Those sky pirates got you tangled up in some nasty business. [Penelo looks as though she has something to say; the scene fades out and back in] What!? Don’t tell me you’re off running about with those sky pirates, too! Vaan I can understand, but you, Penelo? …Ah, I see. I suppose I have been a bit over protective of you. It’s time you made your own decisions, your own mistakes. Do as you feel you must. Whatever trouble you might get yourselves into will only make you stronger, I’m sure. Yes, yes. [Vaan and Penelo look overjoyed] When you want to come back, you’ve only – No, no, you go about your adventures until you decide for yourselves it’s time. And until then, don’t worry yourselves about the shop or any of your friends. Just leave all that to Migelo, you hear? Now that that’s decided, we should get down to business. If you’ll be traveling, you’ll be needing sundries, yes? Well, sundries we have!

Migelo (x2): Keeping busy, are you, Vaan? You needn’t worry yourself about the store. I won’t be closing just because you aren’t around. No, there are plenty of other hard-working youths to pick up your slack. Off with you now! We’ll be here when you get back.

Yugri’s Magicks

Sotted Imperial: What’re you starin’ at? Come to have a good laugh, have you? Blast that rumor… The whole bloomin’ town’s talkin’ about it… But they’ve got it all wrong. I was given orders to stand watch at this shop. That’s why I don’t get over to the Sandsea as much as before, right?

The Sandsea

Tavernmaster: That Imperial’s finally left the place… and good riddance! Can finally get some peace ‘round here. That’s what people come to the Sandsea for!

Barkeep (woman on balcony): We won’t be seeing those Imperials around here anymore. The Consul’s implemented a new policy to see the watch behave as they’re meant to. I don’t think any policy will help that one Imperial, though. I hear he’s off hiding somewhere, in his cups as usual.

Rabanastre After The Sandsea

East End

Bucco: Hey, Vaan? I heard… I heard Penelo was kidnapped. It’s not true… is it?

Migelo’s Sundries

Kytes: Migelo’s finally back, but Penelo still hasn’t shown up. I hope everything’s okay.

Rabanastran (man chatting with bangaa): Migelo’s here all right, but is it me, or does he seem a little tired today?

Rabanastran (woman in pink headscarf): Migelo showed up, but he paid hardly any attention to my questions. I wonder what’s on his mind.

Migelo: What a terrible thing to have happened! You’ve got to see that Penelo gets back home safely, Vaan!

Southern Plaza

Rabanastran (boy in blue and green on south side of fountain): Oh, Vaan! I heard all about Penelo bein’ kidnapped. You’re gonna go rescue her, right? I know there’s nothin’ I can do to help her, but I’m sure you can do it, Vaan. I just know it!

Rabanastran (boy in blue near westgate): Hey, I just heard that Penelo was kidnapped… I sure hope it’s some kinda joke. But what if it’s not? The other day she seemed really down, and now this… I’m worried.

Lowtown

North Sprawl

Balzac: Sorry, but I can’t let you back inside. Outsiders such as yourselves would only be in the way. You and Captain Ronsenburg would do well to keep from drawing any unwanted attention. Avoid using your real names and you should be safe enough. Few people are like to recognize you by your face alone.

Old Dalan’s Place

Rabanastran (boy at right): Friend of mine ran into a viera out in front of the Sandsea. I dunno what exactly happened, but he sure thinks it’s a big deal.

Rabanastran (woman at left): A sword of the Order of the Knights of Dalmasca… Why give this to you now, of all times?

Dalan: I was just about to look into this Penelo business, and – what? Kidnapped!? So you’re off to the Lhusu Mines with this sky pirate then, are you? Why, that’s in Bhujerba… Can he even be trusted? No time to worry over that now… Listen to me, Vaan. You must hurry to Penelo. And be careful. Careful for both your sakes.

[If you talked to Dalan before going to Migelo’s previously...]

Dalan: What? Penelo’s been kidnapped!? So you’re off to the Lhusu Mines with this sky pirate then, are you? Why, that’s in Bhujerba… Can he even be trusted? No time to worry over that now… Listen to me, Vaan. You must hurry to Penelo. And be careful. Careful for both your sakes.

Migelo's Sundries

Kytes: Vaan, is it really you? I heard you got took off to Nalbina!

Vaan: The Imperials’ll need more than a dungeon to stop me.

Kytes: You broke out of a dungeon? Whoa!

Vaan: Hey, try and keep it down, wouldya? Penelo isn’t around, is she? Out on a delivery, maybe?

Kytes: Nope, haven’t seen her all day. Not like her to up and skip out on work like that. Migelo’s not here either. He went running off somewhere a little while ago.

Vaan: So much for my big welcome. Guess everybody’s busy.

Kytes: I got my hands full watching the shop… and Old Dalan had something for me to do, but I can’t get away.

Vaan: Old Dalan, huh? Tell you what. I’ll go see him for you.

Kytes: Really?

Vaan: Well, nothing better to do.

[If you went to see Old Dalan first, this cutscene won’t occur and this will be the dialogue instead.]

Kytes: Hey, Vaan! I sure am glad you made it back safe! Hmm, a way into the palace? Old Dalan’s your best bet for that sorta stuff. Wish I had more time to talk, but Migelo and Penelo haven’t shown up yet, and I’ve got my hands full.

Rabanastran (orange seeq): Hrmph. Will we never be rid of these Imperials? They’ve been on their best behavior, but an Imperial is still an Imperial. The thought of living out my days under Imperial rule is… an unpleasant one.

Rabanastran (man speaking with bangaa): I haven’t seen Migelo all day. I can usually count on finding him up to his elbows in something or other at the back of the store, but not this time.

Kytes (x2) (if you didn’t go see Old Dalan yet): Thanks for going to see Old Dalan for me. I’m so busy here, I’d never have had time to make it down to Lowtown. I sure hope Migelo shows up soon…

Shop Clerk: That’s quite a stone you’ve got there. If Migelo were here, I’m sure he’d want to take a look, but he hasn’t been in today. Ah, but I don’t suppose you came here for small talk, did you. [shop menu]

Rabanastran (woman in pink top and headscarf): Wouldn’t you know it, the one day I have questions about something I’m looking to buy, Migelo isn’t here. I’ll just have to make do.

Rabanastran (woman in pink and tan pacing at side of shop): The war has really driven up prices. I think it’s made me a bit of a pinchpenny, but let’s call it “responsibly price-conscious,” shall we?

East End Shops

Batahn’s Technicks

Rabanastran (woman speaking with red bangaa): The parade was wonderful, don’t you think? Just hearing the Consul speak, you could tell he’s a man of power and influence.

Rabanastran (woman in blue, red, and pink speaking with moogle): I hear you hunted down the Rogue Tomato and even made it over to the clan hall. Coming along fast, kid.

The Sandsea

Rabanastran/Gatsly: I’m at my wit’s end. If that shipment doesn’t get through… I don’t know what I’ll do. There has to be a hunter out there who’ll do it…

Rabanastran (man sitting at table with woman): I saw you lookin’ at the notice board a while back. How did your hunt go? Well, I’m glad to hear it! You started your next hunt yet? Let me know how it turns out!

Barkeep (woman in white standing by notice board): Never hurts to keep a close eye on the notice board. At worst, you can look over your current hunts, and at best, you may find a new one!

Tavernmaster: How are things with you, Vaan? With all the food and drink orders for the fete, I can’t complain, heh heh.

Tomaj: Ah, Vaan! Defeated that Rogue Tomato, did you? I was worried you might not be ready just yet, but you did a fine job of it! Here. Your bounty for completing the hunt.

[Red & Rotten in the Desert: 300 gil, x2 Potion, x1 Teleport Stone]

[If you visited the Clan Hall after he gave you the Primer...]

Oh, I hear you stopped by the clan hall. You’re one shrewd customer. I’m sure you heard all manner of things from the other hunters, but just take your time to ease into it and you’ll do fine.

[If you didn't visit the Clan Hall...]

You followed through on that hunt like a real professional. I'm gonna let you in on a little something to help you along... Did you ever notice a bangaa standing watch in front of a building in the North End? It might be worth your time to pay him a visit. Show him the clan primer I gave you. He'll let you inside. As for what's there... you'll just have to go see for yourself.

[After this, Tomaj will go back to his "Hi, Vaan. Something I can help you with?" dialogue.]

Rabanastran (black bangaa at bar with Tomaj): ‘Course I didn’t watch the parade. What’s the point in watchin’ the Imperials march about, proud as they please?

Barkeep (man in brown shorts near foot of stairs): Now that the gates are open again, I went to collect some goods, but I, uh, encountered a slight difficulty. Entirely my own fault. I was supposed to go to Giza Plains, but I left by the east gate instead of the south gate. (sigh) What a waste of time.

Sotted Imperial: Just who do you think you are? The balcony is reserved for the Imperial watch. You can toast the new consul from downstairs, boy.

Yugri’s Magicks

Rabanastran (woman in blue, yellow, and white): I’m studying magick so I can protect myself, if I must. It’s not that I don’t trust the new consul, but we each have a duty to keep our city safe.

Panamis’s Protectives

Lively Bangaa: We’re talking about this new consul. He seems a not-so-bad fellow, well-informed and capable.

Rabanastran (man browsing curio): The Consul has gotten off on the right foot. I’ve high expectations of him.

Panamis: Interest you in a piece of armor? If there’s aught to your liking, I’ll have it brought ‘round. But don’t dawdle, I’ve plans for the evening. [shop menu]

Amal’s Weaponry

Imperial/Sherral: Fortunately, His Excellency the Consul has arrived without incident. Naturally, I kept up my weapons inspection throughout the ceremony. A moment of weakness or indiscretion can undo a lifetime’s work. History’s replete with examples of such. Our duty is to enforce the law unerringly.

Amal: Welcome, welcome! I’ll be closing the store early tonight… Special circumstances, you know. Heh, heh. Should be quite an evening, yes. [shop menu]

Migelo’s Sundries

Rabanastran (woman in pink with headscarf): Don’t the Imperials have better things to spend money on than parades? How about putting some meat in our stewpots for starters?

Rabanastran (woman in pink, green, and tan): Migelo was really groveling at the ceremony. Embarrassing it was, yes, but you get the feeling he was only doing what he had to do. There are times to wear your pride, and there are times to swallow it. The trick is recognizing which is which.

Penelo: Migelo’s out getting ready for the fete. Do you think he’ll really call the new consul by his first name? I think he’d sooner die.

Rabanastran (orange seeq): Hrmph. This consul sounds a mite better than the last. ‘Course, I won’t believe it till I see it.

Rabanastran (man speaking with bangaa): Let’s see, what is it you’ve got bubbling away in that head of yours… Maybe you’re planning to sneak into the fete tonight, eh? Ha ha! Of course you aren’t! Even you wouldn’t do something as foolhardy as that.

Rabanastran (man in green shorts near Panamis’s): Heading out to the desert? Mind the guards in the Southern Plaza on your way. They’re ill-tempered enough when they’re not busy closing the gates.

Migelo’s Sundries

Penelo: Did you finish the chores Migelo set you to already?

Migelo: Oh, Kytes is back – he’s been on tenterhooks ever since he walked in the door. Well, so long as he’s not up to any mischief…

Kytes: What’s wrong, Vaan? Aren’t you going to go get that Rogue Tomato? You better hurry up before the ceremony starts. You won’t be able to get back into the city!

Migelo's Sundries

Rabanastran (woman in pink and blue): Always provide for a supply of restoratives before starting a journey abroad. A potion’s ability to instantly rejuvenate health is priceless.

Rabanastran (tan seeq): Hrmph. I don’t know if it’s because of the Consul or not, but things are just a little too on edge around here for my liking. If he thinks tightening his grip on the city will help, he’s got another thing comin’. People will only resent him the more.

Rabanastran (guy in green/blue shorts talking to bangaa): Always have more of a thing on hand than you plan to use, that’s my philosophy. Better than running out of something when you really need it.

Rabanastran (woman in pink top, no headscarf): I was hoping to come across a bargain or two in honor of the new consul’s arrival, but no such luck.

Migelo: Well? Have you found Kytes yet? Bah! I don’t know what I’m going to do with the lot of you… Oh, I’m grateful for your help. You work hard – when you want to. But lately you don’t seem to want to, do you? What was it that set me off complaining? Ah, yes. Kytes. Go find Kytes! He should be at the Sandsea. Hurry now! Time’s a-wasting!
