One year has passed since the last update construction of New Granseal. The Minister is addressing the troops, including Bowie and co.
|
April Script
(cough)...The Kingdom is reviving, as you can see. But, we would be better off if there was no accident. You're too young to spend your time to guarding the country. Although, you are the soldiers of Granseal! Do your best to improve the Kingdom!
|
|
Final Script
(Cough)...our town is being rebuilt, as you can see. But, we will be better off if there are no accidents. You're too young to spend your time guarding our new home. You are the soldiers of Granseal! Do your best to improve our new home!
|
|
|
This flabbergasts the Minister.
|
April Script
Sir Astral, please give them a speech for the king.
|
|
Final Script
Sir Astral, please speak in place of our King.
|
|
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
Astral reiterates the whole "one year has passed" thing, since no one in the room has visually aged at all.
|
April Script
The castle, the town... everything is improving.
|
|
Final Script
The castle, the town... everything is coming along nicely.
|
|
|
...but there's one thing the town is missing: Trade.
|
April Script
We need to make alliances with other countries.
|
|
Final Script
We need to make alliances with other towns.
|
|
|
And that's all for today. The Minister lets everyone go.
New Granseal
Near the castle gate, a soldier and a sailor are discussing a strange bird that's come to town.
|
April Script
People are surrounding the bird. Should we speak to it? It must be a good opportunity to know the continent races. I go to see the bird! Tell the King about it!
|
|
Final Script
People are surrounding the bird. Should we talk to it? It would be a good opportunity. I'll go see the bird! You tell the King about it!

|
April Script
Good timing. They are very excited to have a strange guest today! Why don't you go to see it?
|
|
Final Script
Good timing. There's a strange animal in town. It's very exciting!
|
|
|
At the town entrance, a large crowd surrounds a fat yellow bird. Three children encircle the bird.
|
April Script
Oooo...it's big! I'll hit him with this stick.
|
|
Final Script
Oooo...it's big! I want to touch him!
|
|
|
Translation Notes
The children are a lot meaner in the April script, making the bird's reaction more justified.
The bird quickly dodges. A second boy tries, but he does no better.

The bird yells at the boys to stop. The boys are understandably shocked that the bird talks.
|
April Script
Of course, I do. Is this how greet strangers?
|
|
Final Script
Of course I do. Is this how you greet strangers?
|
|
|
The boys tell him to shut up. As we're going to learn throughout the game, this is an impossible request.
|
April Script
Human are so barbaric. I didn't know humans were so impolite.
|
|
Final Script
How barbaric! I didn't know humans were so impolite.
|
|
|
|
April Script
The boy is about to hit the bird.

The Minister races to the bird's rescue, ordering the boys to stop.
|
April Script
What do you think your doing?
|
|
Final Script
What do you think you're doing?

Translation Notes
This line of dialogue is shared by Chester, Jaha, and Kazin.
In the castle, Astral asks Peter if he's a legendary phoenix. Peter confirms.
|
April Script
But...are we so highborn? I didn't know that.
|
|
Final Script
But...legendary? I don't know about that.
|
|
|
|
April Script
You're really highborn, [Peter]! I read that phoenix serves a god.
|
|
Final Script
You are legendary, [Peter]! I read that a phoenix serves a god.

Volcanon! A great father who created theearth!
|
|
June Script
Volcanon! The great being who created the Earth!
|
|
Final Script
Volcanon? The great being who created the Earth?
|
|
Translation Notes
The "great father" could be a religious reference that was later censored, or just wonky translation.
This is the happiest day of Astral's life. He wants to go with Peter to see Volcanon.
|
April Script
Ah, that's good! To tell the truth, I hurt my wing during this trip.
|
|
Final Script
Ummm...OK. To tell the truth, I hurt my wing during this trip.
|
|
|
Peter wanted to ask for help, but he doesn't want to trouble anyone.
|
April Script
Don't worry. Troubles are good study for these lads!
|
|
Final Script
Don't worry. These lads love trouble.
|
|
|

We're still getting used to this country. He's still needed here.
|
|
Final Script
We're still learning about this country. You're needed here.

|
|
Final Script
[Hero], please take your party and go with [Peter]. Astral, do you agree?

Mt. Volcano is in the east...very far away.
|
|
Final Script
Mt. Volcano is in the east.... It's very far away.
|
|
|
The Minister gives Bowie a gift of 100 gold coins. How generous. The party starts their long journey to the east...

|
|
Judging from this homesick guy, he's right to question their ability.
|
April Script
I can't believe it! Is this Granseal?
|
|
Final Script
I can't believe it! This isn't Granseal!
