There was a strange illness
going around...
You'd get a really high fever
and usually die within a month.
On top of that...
the dead bodies would revive as
zombies It was so scary!

It's very scary!

Translation Notes
The sickness is still spreading, so this shouldn't be in past tense.

There's someone called 'Esper'
who's come here?
Sounds kind of suspicious!

"Esper" is a type of person, not a name.

No medicine seems to cure
this strange illness.
At this point,
the only thing we can do is to
inject life energy into them to
prolong their lives a little...
That's why all these people from
'Esper'have come from afar.

I'm the innkeeper.
To tell the truth I didn't want
our place to be used, but...
With all those empty rooms,
the towns people would have
look at me reproachfully!
How upsetting...
Darn!

Hmm, no commentary from Chaz in the May script.

Everyone,
I entrust Kyra to you!

Final Script
| I trust you to save Kyra.

May Script
Yes, yes...
It was bad luck...
|
|
Final Script
Yes, yes...
It was bad luck...
But with those nurses there,
maybe the worst of times will
also be the best of times...

Translation Notes
Raja's Japanese line is "うーん、うーん...。運が悪かったのぉ...。" which, literally translated, matches the May line. There's a joke that got lost here: He starts out sounding like he's making a groaning sound ("u-n", which could translate as "hmm" or "yes"), then it turns out he's actually trying to say a complete sentence: "ungawaru katta no~o".
The August prototype adds an appropriate joke to the English game.

It was heart-breaking to
see my child looking so sick...
But now,
it's all OK, right?

Final Script
It was heart-breaking to
see my child looking so bored...
But now,
it's all OK, right?
|
|
|
Translation Notes
This seems like a change from the original script...but it's actually more accurate in the final draft! She in fact does say her child looked bored in the Japanese text (ウチの子のつまらなさそうな姿は 見てても つらかったんですけど), so good change here.

squishy, squishy
I'm out of energy.
|
|
Final Script
...Ohhh...
I'm out of energy...
|
|
|
Translation Notes
The first line in the Japanese script, "ふにゃふにゃ" could either refer to mumbling (since this guy was screaming earlier in the game) or signify "limpness" (Since he's out of energy.) Possibly dirty.
Clearly "squishy, squishy" wasn't going to cut it in an English script, so it was replaced by the guy groaning instead.

May & August Scripts
It's looking pretty good,
but it still needs more work.
How tedious!
|
|
Final Script
I'm feeling better, but I still
need a lot more time in bed...
|
|
|
Translation Notes
The Japanese line, "だいぶいいが マダマダじゃわい。マダるっこしいのぅ！！", pretty much matches the May dialogue, but, again, there's some wordplay missing. Raja uses the term "madamada", meaning "Still more to come", then follows it up with "madarukkoshii", meaning "tedious."
The final script just clarifies the May dialogue and is unconcerned with wordplay. Oh well.

This person,
they say his name is Raja?
It's great
that he's getting better,but...
He keeps telling these stupid
jokes and what's more he touches
people's buns...
You guys certainly haven't done
a good job teaching him manners!
