(- Male Midlander -)
The Gold Saucer? Can't say I've ever considered visiting the place...
|
(- Male Midlander Gold Saucer Staff -)
Countless wonders await you at the Manderville Gold Saucer!
|
(- Female Roegadyn -)
I daresay that looks like fun!
|
(- Female Miqo'te -)
What a lovely costume!
|
(- Male Highlander Gold Saucer Staff -)
One, two, three...!
|
(- Male Hyur -)
Talk about a stylish outfit!
|
Cutscene start. |
Ah, there you are!
Majestic, isn't it? Of all the displays we painstakingly erected, this may be one that best showcases the Saucer's myriad refined delights. As for the fellow I mentioned... Ah, that's him right over there. |
It keeps spinning in circles... Do you think it's quite all right?
|
All I know is it's making me dizzy just looking at it. Hey, you! Can't you do anything else!?
|
Look, you've angered it! Or perhaps that was some manner of impromptu dance performance...
In any case, I can't say that I'm terribly keen to see what it does next. Not when we have a table waiting for us at the Bismarck! |
So long, spiny whatever-you-are.

The bystanders having departed, Senor Sabotender slumps his shoulders in visible dismay.
|
He's been like this ever since he got here. What say you? Will you speak with Senor Sabotender for me and see if you can ascertain what ails him?
|
Cutscene end. |
I'd give anything to see Senor Sabotender in his usual high spirits again... |
Are you feeling all right? | How goes the campaign? | Give me a spin, will you? | |

My apologies for dragging you all the way over here.

Um...who are you? | Senor Sabotender isn't a real sabotender!? | ||

You saw that just now, didn't you? I did my damnedest to convey the sheer splendor of the Gold Saucer with my usual grandiose gestures, but my audience was clearly unimpressed.
Alas, my gyrations and undulations are merely perplexing poses without the spectacles of the Saucer itself! Would that I could explain in my own words all that they are missing out on! Why don't I, then? Is it not obvious? Because we don't want to reveal to future patrons that Senor Sabotender isn't a real sabotender! ...Not until we've secured their patronage, at the very least. Whilst donning my costume, I am forbidden from uttering even a single word! Such is my plight, you see... At this rate, I will be forced to depart this place having succeeded at nothing but causing quizzical looks and utter confusion. I simply want to join my colleagues in spreading word of the Saucer's splendors across the realm! |
I could explain it for you. | ...And that's where I come in! Somehow. | |
---|---|---|
|
What a kind and generous soul you have, my adventuring friend! Why, your sheer magnanimity brings a tear to my eye...
...More than a few tears, even. But what am I doing here crying? I must prepare to welcome you to our little troupe. Pray let me know whenever you are ready! |
Cutscene end. |
Ready for your first task? Excellent. Before that, however, allow me to give you an overview of our promotional campaign.
We began with a survey asking for people's impressions of the Gold Saucer. Reviewing the responses, we noted that the vast majority of patrons cited the attractions as one of the venue's main selling points. While it is true that our attractions are a highlight, there is─as you are well aware─so much more to the Saucer! So we got to thinking about how best to go about informing the world of our lesser-known delights. I came up with four main features of the Saucer that I hope to promote to people. Which shall I explain first? |
|
...Well? How did that sound? I daresay I've done a remarkable job of distilling the essence of the Saucer's appeal into concise verbiage. Simply remember all of that verbatim, and you'll be ready to help us spread the word of the Saucer wherever you go.
And with that, I do believe it's time for us to get this show on the road. Allow me to see to my preparations, and we can convene at the Aftcastle when we both are ready. Good? Good. |

You cannot help but feel that the crowd is sparser than it was just before.

Senor Sabotender! There you are!
I have urgent orders from our superiors. All staff are to conclude their missions and make preparations to return to the Saucer posthaste! |
System
You can feel Senor Sabotender's piercing gaze upon you. It would seem that he strongly wishes you to return to the Saucer with him.

I take it you'll be coming back as well? If so, pray come to the landing as soon as you're able.

Gold Saucer Guide
Ah! Clearly, you are an individual of discerning tastes. Right this way, my good sir...
|
As you can see, business is booming. I'm pleased to say that we've even welcomed quite a few new guests from Limsa Lominsa.
Clearly, the efforts of my colleagues have paid off in more ways than one─and they could not have done it without you. Master Roland will doubtless be thrilled. Would that we could continue our promotion efforts afield for a while longer... But I fear that we need every able-bodied attendant here at home to deal with the ever-burgeoning crowds. That's your cue, Senor Sabotender! Let's give our guests a warm welcome─Gold Saucer-style! In any event, I thank you. Not only have you helped us to expand our clientele, but─as you can see with your own eyes─Senor Sabotender is back to his typical energetic self. As his colleague and his friend, I cannot begin to express my gratitude. I can, however, offer you this as a small token of our thanks. Till our paths cross again, may fortune smile upon you at the Saucer! |

(- Lyngsath -)
Aye, now this is interestin'...

(- Rhoswen -)
What in the gods' name is keepin' the bastard!?
An' after I went out o' my way to extend an invitation... Still he has the gall to spurn me? Bah! I've a mind to gut 'im the instant he shows himself! |
(- Carvallain -)
The letter said that the duel was to take place here.
...Yet it would seem my opponent is nowhere to be seen. Anyhow, I have no time for this foolery. I will be on my way at once. |
(- Wawalago -)
Why, the Gold Saucer's every bit as wonderful as I imagined─more so, even!
|
(- Kyokyoroon -)
Sparklies! So many sparklies!
