Proto:Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals/Gruberik

This is a sub-page of Proto:Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.

It seems that the prototype kept several conventions of the Lufia 1 Ancient Cave as placeholders.

Gruberik

Note: The prototype uses 「幻の宝」which means "Illusory Treasure" or "Phantom Treasure". Both the final Japanese version and the North American translation use "Iris Treasure" instead.

Dialogue with NPCs outside:

• Woman in green dress

Japanese	English
この街に来る人は、みんな、みはてぬ 夢をいだいている人ばかりなの。 あなたも、そんな一人かしら？	Every explorer who comes to this town comes with a dream to fulfill. I wonder if you're one too?

• Man with blue hair near entrance

Japanese	English
いにしえの洞窟は強いモンスターが 多いぜ。入るんなら、せいぜい気を つけるだな。	There are many strong monsters in the Ancient Cave. If you go there, take utmost care not to get hurt.

• Old man

わしも若い頃は、いにしえの洞窟で あばれまわったもんじゃわい。 わしは、地下20階まで降りた事も あるのじゃぞ！	When I was young, I always used to run around in the Ancient Cave. I made it all the way down to the 20th level once!

Dialogue with NPCs inside buildings:

• Man blocking the stairs

Japanese	English
50GOLDで、仕事をしょうかい しますよ。どうします？	I'll go do my patrol duties if you pay me 50 Gold. How about it?
<option 1>50GOLDはらう。 <option 2>やめる	<option 1>Pay 50 Gold <option 2>Quit
(selected first option) では、奥へどうぞ。 (man walks away, you can now access the staircase)	(selected first option) Well then, please enter. (man walks away, you can now access the staircase)

It should be noted that Lufia 1 had a mechanic where you paid 50 Gold to enter the assignment building. It seems Lufia 2 also had assignments planned in this respect.

いにしえの洞窟は、そのパーティの リーダーの方のレベルと同じ階まで しか、降りる事ができないんです。	In the Ancient Cave, you won't be able to descend to a floor number that's higher than the level of the leader of your party.

• Bunny girl

Prototype	Prototype translation	Retail JP	Retail NA
ここは、幻の宝をならべる場所ですの。 でも、まだ一つもならんでませんのよ。 かなしいですわ。	This is the place where the Phantom Treasures will be placed. But none of them have been found yet. It's so sad.	ここは、イリスの宝をならべる 場所ですの。 でも、まだ一つもならんでませんのよ。 悲しいですわ。	All the Iris Treasures are to be displayed here, but, sad to say, there are none here yet.

There's no inventory item checks when talking to the bunny girl in the prototype; the "no treasures found" message is the only dialogue she has.
