Story

Ship

The party (and what's left of Granseal's population) is on the high seas. Sarah quickly gets seasick.

Kiwi
April Script

[Sarah], look there!

Final Script

[Sarah], look!

Sarah
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sorry, Kiwi...I can't
play with you now...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sorry, Kiwi...I can't
do anything right now....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Kiwi
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thanks, Sarah!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Thats not what...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
That's not what...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Kiwi has, in fact, spotted land.

Sarah
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral, we can see
the continent!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral, we can see the
mainland!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral tells the King.

Granseal
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oh yeah?...that's good...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oh, that's good...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral tells the captain to land the ship...into the coast. This would wreck the ship, but since they're going to tear it apart for lumber anyway, it doesn't matter. So, into the shore it goes.

In the ship's hold, deconstruction (Literal, not literary) is already underway.

Jaha
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're going to break the
ship up into pieces and buildou
r new town....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're going to break the
ship up into pieces and build
our new town....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Jaha realizes that means they can't go back to Grans Island now.

Sarah
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Shut up. Everybody knows.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Be quiet! We know that.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

To curtail Jaha's apparent idiocy, she asks him to help pull up a particularly persnickety plank.

Jaha
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Heave! Heave!
Uuuooooowwww!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Heave! Heave!
Come oooooooooon!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Jaha manages to uproot the plank...and his body. He flies out of the ship, leaving a Jaha-shaped hole in its side.

Sarah
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
It's OK. It's a good
lesson for Jaha!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
That's okay. Jaha needed
a bath anyway.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
Again, the translators spice up the game's dialogue by injecting more humor.

Meanwhile, with Kazin and Bowie...

Kazin
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Bowie, bring it up
to the deck first.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Bowie, bring that plank
above deck.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

In a shocking development, Bowie brings that plank above deck. He offloads the plank to a gray-haired gentleman.

Father
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We need many more planks
to for the new town!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We need a lot of planks
for our new town!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

In a significantly less surprising moment, a sailor walks onto the deck and starts screaming about stuff.

Shopkeep
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What's wrong?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
One of my friends has not
returned from the north
cliff yet.
It shouldn't take this long.
He may be in a trouble.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
One of my friends has not
returned from North Cliff.
He may be in trouble.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The early scripts are inconsistent with having North Cliff be the actual location name or just a descriptor. It's the location's proper name in the final draft.

Oh. The ship captain asks Bowie if he can help. Since the captain literally can't take no for an answer, Bowie agrees to help the sailor.

Jaha
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Bowie, wait! Waaait!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Bowie, wait! Wait!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

A still soggy Jaha runs back onto the ship, and the rest of the crew emerges from the hold.

Kazin
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I think it's too dangerous
to go to a strange place
without friends.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I think it's too dangerous
out there alone.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
OK, OK! I got it!
It would be safer to go
as a group. Let's go.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
And...
It would be safer if we came
along. Let's go.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The line in the April script seems to be coming from the sailor, but the final script's dialogue comes from an anonymous member of the force.

The crew heads to North Cliff.

North Cliff

At the foot of the cliff, the second sailor is stuck sideways. After fighting another gaggle of ghouls, Bowie helps the sailor up. The first sailor asks what happened.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
...Oooh...unh...a big rock...
is falling down on me...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oooh...unh...a big rock...
fell on me....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The first sailor asks where this supposed "rock" is.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You...and...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
It's...humph...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The second sailor notices Bowie's magnificent presence and asks why he came.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What a fool! We came to
help you.
You would be dead if we
were not here.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What a fool.
We came to help you!
You would be dead if we
hadn't come.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Then the second sailor remembers...the rest of the story.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
A huge rock suddenly
fell on me after you had
left here.
I must have fainted.
Anyway, thank you.
Look at that?
The tunnel is now blocked
by the rock.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
A huge rock fell on me after
you left.
It must have knocked me out.
Anyway, thank you.
Look at that!
The tunnel is blocked by
a rockslide.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Everyone looks over to where the tunnel entrance is...somehow. He's right.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
There might be some
treasures inside....
But, it's too late.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Treasures may lie within....
I guess we'll never know.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], let's go
back to the town before we
meet any more monsters.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], let's go back
to the ship.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
Obviously there's no town there yet, but come on. He just got hit on the head with a boulder.

Western Coast

The ship is gone now. In true SimCity-esque fashion, the new, more compact Granseal springs up from the ground.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow, there's our town!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow, there's our new town!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Their work done, Bowie, the sailor, and the other sailor who looks just like him head into their new town.

Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They worked hard to
re-build their new town.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They worked hard to rebuild
their new town.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They worked hard to build
their new town.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
The narrator, however, isn't subject to any boulders from within the narrative, and as such has no excuse for this.

Area Dialogue

Slade helps out the only way he knows how.

Slade
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Pull out a nail, hey!
Pull out a nail!
Wow, this fun!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Boy, I sure hope Jaha
can swim....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

A sailor below deck mentions North Cliff's importance.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They're mining stones for
our buildings at the
north cliff.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They're mining granite for
our town at North Cliff.
