leave his body, HAAA!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Did...I fail?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Did it work?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The evil spirit flies away. King Granseal gets back up and Astral tells him he was possessed

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What are you talking
about? Tell me.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

about the mission.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
That's all the info I can

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

Can you go right now?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

After the soldiers leave, the minister turns to the party.

Is he really all
right? Really?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Is he going to be OK?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You don't have to
worry so much...
but anyway he is old.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Don't worry about him.
If he dies, it doesn't matter.
He's old anyway.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

After the minister is finished being a dick, the King comes down to the throne room. He asks for the minister

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Here I am.
What's wrong with you?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Here I am.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The King says that Astral just came to.

Granseal
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Astral said, he feels
an ill omen behind
the tower and Gizmo.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
A historian called
Hawel lives in the
west of Yeel.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

lives northwest of Yeel.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The King relays Astral's request to send soldiers to get Hawel.

Got it.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I understand.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ah, I understand.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

After the minister and King parrot each other for a bit, the King says he has a good idea

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Either do I.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
As do I.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

King Granseal asks if Bowie and co. can go to Yeel to see Hawel.

If Bowie says No...

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Do you refuse the
King's order?
Answer again!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You refuse the King's
wish?!
Answer again!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Not wanting to be trapped in an endless loop, Bowie agrees.

Granseal
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thank you.
Depart to see Hawel
immediately.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thank you.
Depart to fetch Hawel
immediately.

Granseal

And so the force prepares to go west. At the town entrance, the dwarf Jaha finally makes his appearance.

Jaha
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Here you are!
You came so late!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Here you are!
I've been waiting.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Annoyed that he missed going into the castle, Jaha joins the force! The group exits town...and is immediately attacked by monsters.

Dammit.

Area Dialogue

Granseal Castle

After the evil spirit's escape, the guard to the Sealed Tower is in a sorry state.

A soldier in the king's bedroom is a bit rattled.

Meanwhile, a soldier tries to explain the situation to Princess Elis.

Are you going to see
Mr. Hawel?
I wouldn't let you go alone
if I weren't...
I trust you, son.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
Astral isn't Bowie's father, obviously, it's meant to be used as an old-person term of affection.

The castle workers try to cope with what's happened, and the messenger from Galam got freaked out. A reasonable reaction.

Mother
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
The errand from
Galam have left.
He was in such a
flurry and hurry.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

small village beside
the mountain.

get to my country.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Yeel? Yes, it's a small
village near the mountains.
Travel nortwhest to get there.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
A small bit of detail (How the man knows about Yeel) was removed to squeeze the message into three lines.

A pet shop / zoo has opened up. One mother's reason for not taking her son is completely different between scripts.

Mother
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I don't think it's
educative for children.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I don't think it's right
to hold animals captive.

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He looks so sad...

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png

I feel sorry for him.

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Bok-bok-bok.
Bok-gawk!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Bowie's mother praises Bowie just before he heads out for Yeel.

surprised in the Heaven.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Good luck, [Hero].
Your father would have
been proud of you.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

This is the first of several explicit religious references that were rewritten to be more ambiguous.
