- Raubahn has a personal favor to ask of you.
'Tis a rare thing indeed for the Elder Seedseer to enter the fray...
|
Never thought I'd have the chance to fight alongside the Admiral herself! We'll make her proud!
|
I have asked Urianger to look after Krile. He will keep her out of harm's way. Though, after what she has endured, her physical well-being may be the least of our worries...
|
Worry not for her safety. Look thee to the east.
|
|
Right, then. I must go to my men. I shall be leading the first charge through the breach.
|
|
Then we shall head to the front.
|
Pipin has command of our artillery outside the gate. He'll not be hard to find.
Ah, but before you go, I have a final favor to ask.
Give this to my son. He will understand.
|
Worry not for her safety. Look thee to the east.
|
There's no need for explanations. When he sees it, he will know.
|
'Twould seem our position here is secure...
|
<Player's Grand Company Rank> , Alphinaud. Hm? What is that you've got there?
|
 Cutscene start.
|
|
By the Twelve, this is...this is Tizona!
|
|
The Bull of Ala Mhigo's legendary sword, forged from two cursed blades...
|
This sword is a symbol of everything my father fought to achieve. A weapon claimed on the bloodsands, and with it fortune and glory. Its flames consume the unworthy, but by fire was he reborn.
That he should bequeath it to me now...to carry on his legacy...
Well, I shall endeavor to deserve it. But I'll be damned if this is his final battle!
Once we begin, there will be no respite until it's over. Are you ready, my friends?
Very well. Brace yourselves. This should be quite a specta─
|
|
Vice Marshal! Vice Marshal! Imperial unit approaching from the north!
|
|
Aiming to destroy our artillery, are they? How many?
|
|
Total numbers unconfirmed. At least one squadron. But sir─they're wolfmen!
|
|
Ferae Domitae. Bloody hells, that's all we need. Call up the Bloodsworn. Tell them to make ready─
|
Marshal Tarupin, wait!
These “wolfmen” of whom you speak hail from Doma. They were coerced into fighting for the Empire─spirited away to a foreign land and told that if they disobeyed, the lives of their kin would be forfeit.
But their homeland has been liberated. They have no reason to continue serving their imperial masters!
Ere you engage them in battle, I beseech you: grant us a moment to go and attempt to convince them to lay down their arms!
|
|
I am loath to gift our enemy more time to prepare...but if there is a chance that this conflict might be avoided, I suppose we must take it. Go then─but be quick.
|
We will, Vice Marshal.
With me, Forename!
|
| Cutscene end.
|
Our scouts report that the wolfmen are advancing on our position from the north of the city. Convince them to retreat, or we will have no choice but to engage.
|
|
We will wait here for the Lupin to arrive. Steel yourself, my friend. Though I hope to resolve this without resorting to violence, it would seem wise to prepare for the worst...
|
| Cutscene start.
|
|
Honorable warriors of Doma! My name is Alphinaud Leveilleur, and I come before you with news of great import─
|
|
Silence, boy! You stand upon a battlefield. Begone, or be cut down!
|
|
Doma is free! Lord Hien has returned and driven Yotsuyu and the imperials from your lands! We were there─we helped him! There is no need for you to fight for Zenos!
|
|
Lord Hien is dead, and you are a liar! What could a boy such as you do against magitek? Throw stones and spit curses!?
Invoke my lord's name again at your peril. We will suffer no falsehoods!
|
|
I speak only the truth! Put up your weapons, I beg of you! Let us speak as friends and not shed blood in vain!
|
If your claims were true, we would gladly sheathe our blades and embrace as brothers.
But since they must surely be false, we would be traitors to accept! Our lives and those of our loved ones, forfeit!
Words are air! You will prove the truth of your tale on the battlefield, or die in dishonor! |
| Cutscene end.
|
| If you die this day, then we shall know you for liars! |
|
| Truly...? Must we fight to prove that we need not fight!? |
|
| Cutscene start.
|
|
You are no strangers to battle, that much is plain...
I am the White. I am Hakuro! And I will be your opponent! Have at you!
|
| Cutscene end.
|
| Until I am satisfied, we shall fight on! Give me your all! |
|
| On your guard! His strength far exceeds that of his brethren! |
|
| Hah! You have faced a samurai of Doma before!
But I may yet surprise you...
Is that all you can muster, Eorzeans!? Hold naught back! |
|
| Such ferocity...! If he does not relent, we shall be forced to kill him!
...So be it. Moonstone Carbuncle! Come!
Stand within the Carbuncle's wards!
They will grant you strength! |
|
| Enough. You are every bit the warriors you claim to be. |
|
I dream of a day when people accept my words as truth without demanding that I prove them through feats of strength. But come, we must away.
|
You fought with honor and restraint. You could have killed my men, and perhaps even me...but you did not. For this, I thank you.
Warriors brave and true. I pray you tell us of the battle for Doma's liberation.
|
|
We should be glad to do so...
|
...Lord Hien, returned! Such joy this news brings us.
But for Lord Gosetsu to perish in the keep's collapse...to be taken from us by such treachery... There is no justice...
|
What will you say?
1) Eyes forward, Hakuro. He wished for no better death.
2) ...
|
You knew him well. Aye, he would not suffer us to mourn with so much undone. And so we will not. Duty comes before all.
|
|
But I knew the man, and he would not suffer us to mourn on the eve of this great battle. Duty comes before all.
|
All Lupin shall know of Doma's liberation, and of your part in it.
When you breach the gates, we shall turn on the imperials as one. With fang and claw shall we rip open the throats of our masters. This the White swears.
|
|
Thank you. When our war is ended, I am certain that your lord will help us to return you all to Doma.
|
|
Such a curious thing, destiny, to see us meet with friends of Lord Hien in this distant corner of the world. But we shall not keep you─your day is not yet done.
|
|
Come, let us not keep our comrades waiting. We have a nation to liberate!
|
| Voiced cutscene start.
|
|
Ah, you are returned. Were your negotiations with the wolfmen successful?
|
|
The one they call the White was receptive to our words once we told him of Doma's liberation.
They withdrew behind the walls to inform their brethren. If the gods are good, no blood shall be shed between our peoples this day.
|
|
Hear, hear. Now...I think it's time we did something about those gates.
Thaumaturges, forward!
|
|
Give me hellfire! Give me Ifrit's bloody inferno!
|
Now give me a Coerthan winter! Enough ice and snow to bury a behemoth!
All cannons, fire at will! Let no man say we neglected to knock!
Damn that armor! We nearly had it! |
|
Bear witness, my Eorzean brothers and sisters!
Doma is come to pay her debts!
|
|
We will deal with the flying machines!
Forward, my friends! For freedom and justice!
|
|
You heard the man! All cannons, resume firing!
|
|
We're through! The way is clear!
|
| Voiced cutscene end.
|
You do not think he would actually wait until the last... No, no. Of course not. He's no Vidofnir.
|
By the Fury... Did that man just bring down flying armor with a single stroke in midair?
|
The vice marshal's strategy for breaching the gates was most ingenious. A pity he did not account for the magitek armor─but to be fair, they did not account for the Domans either.
|
In entrusting Pipin with Tizona, I've entrusted him with command of the Flames. This time I fight not as a general, but simply a soldier.
|
|
Impeccable timing, those Domans! Come, comrades! The enemy's gate is down! Forward!
