Follows is my current collection of quotes from Final Fantasy and other Square games. (update: now that this list includes Suikoden and Xenosaga, I suppose it's not even limited to Square games. Ah well.) This file is updated automatically. Please feel free to suggest new quotes for me to add; my e-mail address is at the bottom of this page.

In the beginning there existed only long, long Darkness. Over time, Darkness
grew lonely. The loneliness became a heavy sorrow. Darkness eventually cried
one tear. From the tear were born two brothers: Sword and Shield. Sword said
it could cut all that exists. Shield replied that nothing could even scratch
it. They fell into war. Their war lasted for 7 days and 7 nights. In the
end, Sword breached Shield, and Shield broke Sword. Pieces of Sword rained
down to make the sky. Pieces of Shield rained down to make the earth. Their
battle flashes became the stars. The 27 gems adorning Sword and Shield tra-
nsformed into the 27 True Runes. And thus the world began its life.

looking at things.' She says that's why I'll never amount to much in this
world.
Nash, Iksay Village, Suikoden III

Duck (to Sarah), Le Buque Inn (Luc Chapter I), Suikoden III
Geddoe: Are you the owner of this sword?
Star Dragon Sword: You could say he's my servant. Just my luck, too. First,
it was that man who had more hair than a sloth, and now this guy...
Edge: It's customary for a master to pay for his servant's upkeep, so...

drinking, sleeping... bah! So much trouble!
