Story

Mitula Shrine Exterior

After passing through the gates of Tristan, a priest blocks the entrance to Mitula Shrine proper and denies the force entry.

PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral...what should
we do?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral, what do we do
now?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral thinks for a bit, then asks Bowie what he would do.

BowieP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I...ah...not sure.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I'm not sure.

PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], there's no
choice!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], it's obvious!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I agree. We have to see
the storytellers to hear
the legends.
Get past the line!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I agree. We have to see the
storytellers and listen to
the legends.
Make a break for it!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Priest
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wait, wait. Be good in
the holy shrine.
Or, we have to tell you
the truth.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wait, wait. You must not
enter the holy shrine.
So be it! Let the truth be
known!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The "priest" starts teleporting back to the shrine's doors, turning into an evil armored knight.

Dark Knight
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Go away! The devils
already occupy this
shrine! Ha, ha!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Go away! The devils already
occupy this shrine!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Devils again!
[Hero], go!

Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Devils again!
[Hero], attack!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Helmeted Man, Helmeted Man
Helmeted Man hates Tow-Headed Man
They have a fight, Tow-Headed wins
Tow-Headed Man

At the shrine doors, a voice from the off welcomes the force.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I heard that voice from
the other side of the
door...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I heard a voice from the
other side of the door.

I'm Zalbard. One of the
greater devils.

I'm Zalbard. I'm one of
the greater devils.

Sir Astral....
The greater devil who
attacked Bedoe was as
strong as Volcanon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral...
The greater devil that
attacked Bedoe was as
strong as Volcanon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Zalbard wonders if Peter's talking about Odd Eye.

Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Did he fight against God
Volcanon at Bedoe?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Did he fight against
Volcanon at Bedoe?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Yes, and he lost.

Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't believe it!
Odd Eye is the strongestleader
among us.
But, we can't contact him
these days...
It's good news for me.
If I get the jewel, I can
take his place.
Now, come into the shrine.
Mitula is here.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't believe it!
Odd Eye is the strongest
devil among us.
But, we haven't been able to
contact him lately.
If I get the Jewel of Evil, I
can take his place.
Now, enter the shrine.
Mitula is here.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
PeterP

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What should we do?
A greater devil is
inside...

What should we do?
A greater devil awaits us
inside.

Sir Astral?

that name...before....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I think I've heard that

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral paces about for a bit, lost in thought, before Peter makes him come to.

Astral

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Whhhhhhat?!

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Whhhhhhat?

Mitula Shrine

Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
My pleasure! Nice to meet
you.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What a pleasure!
Nice to meet you.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We can't leave the continent
to the devils.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ohh....
He's ugly, isn't he?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
This conversation was rewritten extensively.
Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I got some information from
Geshp....
There's not chance for you
to win!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What?!
You dare insult me?!
I've never...
For that you will die!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The translators tried to give each of the greater devils a distinct personality at the cost of staying true to the material. Some of it works, some doesn't.
Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Are you ready for your death?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Are you ready to die?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Apparently not.

Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Grr...impossible...
Why...do I have to die?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Grr...impossible!
Why...do I have to die?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral demands to know where Mitula went.

Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I don't know...I have no
idea.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I don't know...haven't seen
her.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

After a beat, Zalbard falls over, and the Ground Orb falls out of his robe.

Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oops! Earth Orb....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oops! The Earth Orb....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oops! The Ground Orb....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
Only in this scene is the object referred to as the Earth Orb. It's the Ground Orb in every other mention.

The Ground Orb fills the room with a piercing light!

Zalbard
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't endure the light
now...ohhh....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't endure the light....
Ohhh....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thanks to the Earth Orb,
we finally defeated Zalbard.
The light from the Orb was
full of holy power.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thanks to the Earth Orb, we
finally defeated Zalbard.
The orb released holy power
in it's light.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thanks to the Ground Orb, we
finally defeated Zalbard.
The orb released holy power
in it's light.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
It's a bit surprising that the naming issue wasn't fixed until after the June draft.

Mitula emerges from the statue of Mitula (natch) at the back of the room. Seems logical. She picks the Ground Orb up, deposits it back into the statue like a quarter in a coin slot, and thanks the force for their work.

Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oh, nice to see you, Sir
Astral.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oh, nice to meet you,
Sir Astral.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral's slightly flustered by Mitula's recognition.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Please advise me.
What should we do now?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Please tell us, what should
we do now?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

She doesn't know.

PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You don't know?
But, you're a goddess.
You should know our future,
right?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't say.
But, why? You're a goddess.
You know our future, right?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What?!
But, why? You're a goddess.
You know our future, right?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The first line in the June script uses an incorrect pointer that was fixed in the final draft.
Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I'm not Volcanon. I never
advise people. Even if I
could prevent a death.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I'm not Volcanon. I never
tell people the future, even
if it could prevent death.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral doesn't like the whole "death" part of this conversation.

Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Zeon is an unimaginably
strong creature.
If he's attains full power,
I...even Volcanon...could
not stop him.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Zeon is an unimaginably
strong devil.
If he attains full power,
I, even Volcanon, would not
be able to stop him.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
So we have to defeat him
before he revives completely.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
So, we have to defeat him
before he revives completely.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
His power is now sealed
in the Jewel of Evil.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
His power is sealed in the
Jewel of Evil.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
That's why he wants the
jewel!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
So, that's why he wants the
jewel!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Then, we keep the jewel
forever.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Then, why don't we keep the
jewel forever.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Arc Valley is the place
where evil power gathers
and increases.
He can recover his power
if he stays there long
enough.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Arc Valley is the place where
evil power gathers.
He will recover his power
if he stays there long enough.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You said, Arc Valley?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Did you say, Arc Valley?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Mitula explains that humans call the place Granseal or Ancient Tower.

Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Granseal is named from the
symbol in the tower.
It seals the ground.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Granseal is named for the
symbol in the tower.
It seals the ground.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I see. The tower seals
the ground...!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I see.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
This change saves text space while losing nothing of importance.

Mitula starts to vanish from the shrine. Astral asks where she's headed.

Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Down to the ground.
To save the people.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Down to the surface.
To save the people.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Are you going to abandon us,
as well as Volcanon?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Are you going to abandon us,
as Volcanon did?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Is it not ironic? OK, I'll
give you a hint.
Listen to the legend from
the storytellers before
you go to Grans Island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Well...no.
I'll give you a hint.
Listen to the legends from
the storytellers before you
go to Grans Island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
It is not ironic.
Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You can't kill Zeon, but
we might help you if you
can weaken him.
And...listen [Hero]!
You are the chosen one
to have the holy jewel.
We need your help to seal
Zeon again.
Find the holy sword.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You can't kill Zeon, but
Volcanon and I will help you
if you weaken him.
[Hero]!
You are the chosen one.
You have the holy jewel.
We need your help to reseal
Zeon.
Find the holy sword.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral asks where this sword could be.

Mitula
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Somewhere in Grans.
Your jewel will lead you
to....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
It's in Grans.
Your jewel will lead you to...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
It's on Grans.
Your jewel will lead you to...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Before she can get that last part out, Mitula disappears from the shrine.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Mitula, Mitula!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Mitula, Mitula!!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Peter asks, again, why they should do now.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We have to go to Arc
Valley in Grans Island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We have to go to Arc Valley
on Grans Island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Before visiting the storytellers, the force go to the room on the opposite side, discovering a different statue than the one in the main room. The statue comes to life!

Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I feel...a warm and gentle
power returning me to human.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I feel...a power returning
me to human.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Well...the evil has gone!
Did you chase them away?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Hey! The evil is gone!
Did you chase them away?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Peter asks Bowie who his woman is. She recognizes Bowie's name and knows they're from Granseal, further confusing Peter.

PeterP
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Yes, we are...but who are
you?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Yes, we are, but who are
you?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Do you know how long I've
here as a stone statue?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Do you know how long I've
been here as a stone statue?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral, still not knowing who she is, asks the question again. She's Taya, and Mitula told her about Bowie, Peter, and Astral.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Mitula?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
She did?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Yes. She is so worried
about your future...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Yes. She was worried about
you.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The April script's line fits better with the following line; the change in tense here doesn't make a lot of sense.
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You are fated to fight
against the evil, Zeon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You are fated to fight Zeon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But, she is unable to help
you. It's an order from
God Volcanon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But, she is unable to help
you. It's an order from
Volcanon.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Taya
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But, I'm here for her.
I'll go with you and help.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But, I'm here for her.
I'm here to help you.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Taya joins the force! She also reveals that an ancient ship in Nazca should be able to take the force to Grans.

And now, finally, the storytellers.

Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Arc Valley is a dark place
where evil gathers.
He who rule Arc Valley is
the King of the devils.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Arc Valley is a dark place
where evil gathers.
He who rules Arc Valley is
the King of the Devils.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Lucifer, Dark Sol, and Zeon
fought desperately to obtainArc
Valley.
The fighting of the devils
caused a storm with thunder
and lightning.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Dark Sol, Dark Dragon, and
Zeon fought desperately to
obtain Arc Valley.
The fighting of the devil
kings created a mighty storm.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
This is probably the biggest script change in the game and needs some explaining.
Dark Sol appeared in the first Shining Force, but Lucifer never appeared proper.
This is his only mention in the entire seires.
Dark Dragon was also in the first Shining Force game, but it was created by Dark Sol.
So, there's no way that it could have been one of the three demon kings.
This was translated correctly, so the change from Lucifer to Dark Dragon was deliberate.
Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Zeon won. And every devil
named him the King of the
Kings of devils.
The other two kings envied
him. They sealed his
power inside the jewels.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Zeon won. And every devil
named him the King of the
Devils.
The other two kings envied
Zeon. They sealed his powers
inside the Jewel of Evil.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
One part of translating from Japanese is figuring out when to pluralize things from context.
Anyway, Zeon wasn't sealed in both jewels, just the Jewel of Evil.
Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Zeon lost all his power
and fell to the earth,
deep into the valley.
His moan destroyed the
mountains and the valley
was buried by the debris.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
When Zeon lost his powers,
he fell to Earth, and created
a giant crater when he hit.
His moan destroyed the
mountains and the crater
was buried by the debris.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
力を うしなったゼオンは アークバレーの ひのうみにのまれる
ゼオンのなげきは 山をくだき たには ゼオンとともにうもれる

"When Zeon lost his powers, he was engulfed by the sea of fire in Arc Valley.
His moan destroyed the mountains and trapped him in the valley."

This is translated more or less correctly in the April script, though it's condensed a bit.
"Fell into the valley" was rewritten to "fell and made a crater" by an unknowing editor.
(Translation: Joe)
Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Grieving over the fight,
a god of wisdom created the
power of light.
The power of light choose
a brave man and gave him a
sacred sword.

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Grieving over the fight, the
God of Wisdom created the
Jewel of Light.
The Jewel of Light chose a
brave man and gave him a
Holy Sword.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
賢き神は 悪魔の戦いをかなしみ ただしき力を つくり上げる
"Grieving over the fight, the God of Wisdom created the Force of Righteousness."

Again, this is something translated better in the April draft.
The Jewel of Light isn't mentioned at all in the Japanese storyteller message.
(Translation: Joe)
Storyteller
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
With the sacred sword in
his hand, the brave man
fought against two devils.
The sword contained the
holy power. The two devils
were defeated.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
With the Holy Sword in
hand, the brave man fought
against the two devil kings.
The Holy Sword contained
holy power. Thus, the two
devil kings were defeated.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The final script clarifies the "two devils" to be the other two devil kings.

In the event of Zeon

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
まんがいち 悪しき力はたらく時 神の力 また貴い人をえらばん
ただしき力を しんじるがよい! 剣をとり 悪魔のくちにくらわせよ

"If by some chance his evil power returns, the power of the gods will again choose a noble
man. Trust the Force of Righteousness! Take the sword and strike the devil's mouth."

The "Believe us" part of this text was made up wholesale by the translators.
"Anther choose a brave man" is a messy way of saying "Again choose a noble man"
(Translation: Joe)

Tristan

An armored birdman flies in from the south and does a loop around the area before stopping to face the force.

Skreech
April Script

Yes, he's [Hero],

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

He introduces himself as Skreech from Bedoe. Remember the bird that fell on Bowie's head?

Skreech
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero] saved my
life in Bedoe.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero] saved my life
there.

Skreech

Peter briefly questions how Skreech grew so quickly before dismissing the issue entirely. Oh, and Skreech joins the force! Onward to Pacalon...
