Wee hee hee! (Ha ha ha! This Tower of Bab-il connects the ground and underground. Rubicant has already moved all the crystals to the upper world! And I shall annihilate the dwarves with my Super Cannon! Ha-hah-hah! in the SNES version)
- Who: Dr. Lugae/Lugeie
- Most interesting...You combine your strengths to overcome foes stronger even than yourselves. You are fine warriors indeed. Lord Golbez himself will find you no easy opposition. I pray the day comes that we can fight each other again. (Well... now I see why Golbez had a hard time with you. Weak people can join forces... I admire you, warriors! Farewell. in the SNES version)

- Sarisa. Forgive me. I wasn't able to do anything for you. Lenna. Sarisa. Unite your power, and Bartz. Please. Protect them.
- The world still needs you!
- Who: King Tycoon
- Notes: Character is dying after saving the group from an attack by the crystal fragments. He is referring to Faris, his long-lost daughter, by her real name when he says "Sarisa". He says the second line when he returns as a spirit during the ending. In the GBA translation, he says that he "wasn't much of a father" to Faris.
- Of course I knew. But, there was no way I could send you. Warriors of the Crystal, it's up to you guys now. Galuf, Bartz, Lenna, Faris. Don't worry. I'll come to help you again.
- Go! Warriors of the Crystal!
- Take your chance!
- Who: Xezat/Zeza
- Notes: Zeza is trapped in the power room of the Barrier Tower, which is about to explode, and is communicating with the party with a device similar to a walkie-talkie. He admits that he knew that taking the role that he did in the mission to destroy the Barrier tower would cost him his life. He says the second line in unison with the other Warriors of Dawn when they return as spirits just before the final battle. He says the third line instead of the second when encouraging the player to fight Exdeath in the Game Boy Advance version.
- Bartz... Lenna, Faris... My dear Krile... Exdeath... Exdeath... Destroy him...
- It's still too early for you to come where we are!
- Who: Galuf
- Notes: Galuf died from wounds sustained fighting Exdeath, and said the first line but lived on as a spirit. After the player defeats Exdeath, he says the second line to the party when they are in the Void before departing.
- Smash Exdeath's illusion! The last of my life. With everyone's power I'll send it to you in Exdeath's castle!!
- Go! Warriors of the Crystal!
- Destroy Exdeath!
- Who: Kelgar
- Notes: Character is dying, and hears from Galuf's spirit that the party is facing an illusion in Exdeath's castle. He gives the last of his life to dispel that illusion with the help of his fellow werewolves. He says the second line in unison with the other Warriors of Dawn just before Bartz confronts Exdeath. He says the third line instead of the second in the Game Boy Advance version
- Enough of this. Die!
- Who: Necrophobia
- Notes: The first line is said just as Necrophobia casts Flare on Gilgamesh, who has arrived to help the party against him. Gilgamesh then uses Exploder, killing both of them. The second line is if the party reduces Necrophobia's hit points to 0 before Gilgamesh arrives.
- I believe that's MY line!!!
- Who: Gilgamesh
- Notes: Gilgamesh catches up with the party, which is fighting Necrophobia, to help them in order to save himself from being remembered as a weakling. Gilgamesh says this line in response to Necrophobia telling him to die, before using Explode, killing himself and Necrophobia.
- NOOO! WHY!? The Void was mine to command! How could it- Uwaaah!!!
- I am Neo Exdeath! All memories...dimensions...existence... All that is shall be returned to nothing. Then I, too, can disappear... ...forever!!!
- Who: Exdeath/Neo-Exdeath/Exodus/X-Death
- Notes: First line is said after player defeats Exdeath in the first phase of the final battle, and the Void consumes him. The second line is said after he transforms into Neo-Exdeath. It has been suggested that the two are separate individuals, hence the two quotes.
- These are my companions who fell as we fled the Empire... And I will give you my power as well...
- You must stop them. There must not be a second War of the Magi...
- Who: Ramuh
- Notes: Character turns himself into Magicite in order to help the group combat the Empire, which is using Magitek in its plans for conquest, similar to the War of the Magi 1000 years before. Ramuh fades from the world by the end of the game.
- K-Kefka...! Y-you're insane...
- Who: General Leo
- Notes: Character has realized that Kefka and Gestahl planned the peace talks with the Espers in order to claim their Magicite. He says this when he is fighting with Kefka, who tackles him to the ground. Kefka then says that he will tell Gestahl he had to kill a traitor, and then kills General Leo.
- The world is about to learn...the meaning of...fear...
- Who: Emperor Gestahl/Gastora
- Notes: Character had planned to take over the world with the power of the statues, but was betrayed by his accomplice, Kefka, and realizes that Kefka will destroy the world in his insanity. The Emperor attempts to stop Kefka, but Kefka strikes him down with his magic, and throws him off the Floating Continent after Gestahl says this.
- Cough... hack... ACK!! While I can still talk, I... wheeze... pant... want to thank you... cough!
- Who: Cid
- Notes: If the player fails to save him from his illness, he will say this when he is close to death. After he says this, the player will find him dead the next time he or she enters the house to check on him. It is possible to save him, though.
- Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all!
- The end comes... beyond chaos.
- Who: Kefka/Cefca
- Notes: The first line is said just before fighting the party, and is from the Advance version. The second line, which is taken from the original game, is his last words if he charges up for his special attack, "Goner" before being defeated.
- I have to go now... ...I'll always love you... You must now cast off the anguish you've been harbouring inside for so long... Today I set your heart free. You must learn to love yourself again, and regain your self respect. ...... Phoenix! Be reborn again!! And give your power... to Locke!!
- Who: Rachel
- Notes: Character is temporarily revived with the help of the Phoenix Esper and says these words before dying.

After Barret defeats him in a duel and tells him of Marlene being alive, Dyne tells him that his hands are "too stained" to carry her any more, gives Barret her pendant, says this line, then commits suicide.

- Who: Aerith Gainsborough

- Who: Queen Brahne
- Notes: Character is dying after Kuja manipulates Bahamut into attacking her fleet, and is speaking to her (adopted) daughter Garnet. She had previously led Alexandria against the other kingdoms in a quest for power after her husband's death and under Kuja's influence (although he denies it).
- [Kuja: Any last words?] Your power... is meaningless...
- You are on your own now. Zidane...take care of Kuja. ...and protect the crystal. Farewell... [Zidane: Garland, wait! Garland!] Even if I were created to serve one purpose alone, I do not regret being born to this world.
- Who: Garland
- Notes: Character had created the genomes Kuja and Zidane as part of his plan to restore his world of Terra. Kuja, however, rebelled against him, and gained the power of Trance to use to further his own ends. Garland says the first line just before Kuja throws him to his death, and says the second line before fading away, after his spirit informs Kuja of his limited lifespan, and tells Zidane of his and Kuja's origins.
- This is not the end. I am eternal... ...as long as there is life and death...
- Who: Necron
- Notes: Character had concluded, based on Kuja's destroying the Crystal, that humans feared death and that the world should be returned to the void. Zidane's party, however, defeated it and destroyed it, at least temporarily.
- After you guys beat me, I had nothing left... nothing more to lose. Then, I finally realized what it means to live... I guess I was too late.
- Who: Kuja
- Notes: Character has lost to Zidane's group after realizing that attempting to gain power and become immortal was futile and being thwarted in his attempt to destroy the world. He has teleported Zidane's party to safety, but after Zidane returns to be with his "brother" in his final moments, he says these lines and dies.
Final Fantasy X
[edit]- Ah... Zaon... Forgive me... Spira has been robbed of the light of hope... All that remains is sorrow.
- Who: Yunalesca
- Source: Final Fantasy X
- Notes: Character, a long-dead unsent spirit, had instructed summoners to perform the Final Summoning, a ritual that temporarily stopped Sin but killed the summoner and caused one of their guardians, chosen as the fayth, to become the Final Aeon and be possessed by Sin as it reformed. She attacks Yuna's group for refusing to perform it, and is defeated and sent to the Farplane after suggesting that there is no permanent way to defeat Sin and that the Final Summoning can no longer be used. Zaon is her husband.
- [Rikku: Wait, gramps! Who's Yu Yevon?] He who crafts the souls of the dead into unholy armor. An armor called Sin. Clad in it, Yu Yevon is invincible. And the only thing that could have pierced that armor, you have destroyed! Nothing can stop it now.
- Who: Grand Maester Mika
- Source: Final Fantasy X
- Notes: Character, who had died long ago and remains as an unsent spirit has learned that the party has defeated Yunalesca, and believes that Spira will be destroyed now that the summoners can no longer use the Final Summoning against Sin. He sends himself to Via Infinito.
- Yuna... you would pity me now?
- So it is you, after all, who will send me. But even after I am gone, Spira's sorrow will prevail.
- Who: Maester Seymour Guado
- Source: Final Fantasy X
- Notes: He says the first line after Yuna and her guardians defeat him in Macalania Temple. He dies but is not sent to the Farplane, and thus continues to exist as an unsent spirit. He says the second time when the party defeats him for the final time inside Sin. In the second line, he is referring to Yuna, who is sending him, thereby ending his existence as an unsent spirit, as she had attempted to do so during when he had tried to force her to marry him.
- This is your world now.
- Who: Auron
- Source: Final Fantasy X
- Notes: Character had died long ago, and existed as an unsent for the game's duration. Yuna notices that he is being sent, and is temporarily reluctant to send him. He appears briefly as a spirit in the Farplane of Final Fantasy X-2.
- Yuna, I have to go. I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand. Goodbye!
- Who: Tidus
- Source: Final Fantasy X
- Notes: Character is a "dream", and defeating Yu Yevon ends his existence, but he returns in the "good" ending of Final Fantasy X-2.
- Can we?
- Who: Shuyin
- Source: Final Fantasy X-2
- Notes: Character, a tormented unsent spirit, had attempted to destroy all of Spira so that he could disappear. However, the spirit of his lover, Lenne, appears and tells him to go with her to the Farplane. Shortly after he asks this question, they depart.

- [Gabranth: Forgive me.] Prey be quick.
- Who: Judge Drace
- Note: Gabranth is forced to execute Drace for treason.
- [Balthier: Was there no other way?] Spend your pity elsewhere. If you are so set on running, hadn't you best be off? Fool of a pirate.
- Who: Dr. Cid
- Note: Having been defeated by Vaan's party at the top of the Pharos Tower and slowly dissolving into Mist, Cid advised his son (who had just helped destroy him) to get moving before the Sun Cryst's energy bursts.
- I, Judge Magister, condemn you to oblivion!
- Who: Reddas
- Note: He destroyed the Sun Cryst and then it explodes in a gulf of flames at the top of the Pharos Tower. Reddas was caught in that explosion and that killed him.
- From the Undying Ones the World is freed. You shall not tread this path alone. Together we go. Come.
- Who: Venat
- Note: Dissolving into wisps of light that enter Vayne's body as it fulfilled its reason to exist.
- Won't Cid be eager to learn what has happened here. History begins anew.
- Who: Vayne Solidor
