Now the full version of that scene has been found by Shademp, showing a different side of Sephiroth than we got to see in the original game, in addition to a different version of the lines [...]

Unused text from the Temple of the Ancients in which Sephiroth explains the origins of summon materia.

Some untranslated text concerning Chocobos. Not too remarkable. ZZ3 A little snippet of dialogue from the Chocobo Sage. 「海を渡れるチョコボが A chocobo that can cross 生まれるんじゃ。 the ocean will be born. おおっ、それにのぉ」 Oh, but for that to happen… 「『実』が必要じゃ You’ll need a certain type はて、なんの of nut.
