Story

New Granseal Castle

One year has passed since the last update construction of New Granseal. The Minister is addressing the troops, including Bowie and co.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
(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!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
(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!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

This flabbergasts the Minister.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral, please give
them a speech for the
king.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sir Astral, please speak in
place of our King.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ah, I got it.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ummmm...OK, I got it.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral reiterates the whole "one year has passed" thing, since no one in the room has visually aged at all.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
The castle, the town...
everything is improving.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
The castle, the town...
everything is coming along
nicely.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

...but there's one thing the town is missing: Trade.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We need to make alliances
with other countries.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We need to make alliances
with other towns.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
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.

Soldier
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
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!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
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!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The soldier runs back to the castle, making the sailor spot Bowie.

Sailor
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Good timing.
They are very excited
to have a strange
guest today!
Why don't you go
to see it?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Good timing.
There's a strange animal in
town.
It's very exciting!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

At the town entrance, a large crowd surrounds a fat yellow bird. Three children encircle the bird.

Young Boy
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oooo...it's big!
I'll hit him with this
stick.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oooo...it's big!
I want to touch him!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
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.

Young Boy
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow, missed again!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow, he's fast!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Young Boy
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
OK, I can do it!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
OK, my turn!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The third boy tries. Still no luck on the bird-touching front.

Young Boy
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oh, he's quick!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Gosh, he's quick!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The bird yells at the boys to stop. The boys are understandably shocked that the bird talks.

Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Of course, I do.
Is this how greet
strangers?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Of course I do.
Is this how you greet
strangers?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The boys tell him to shut up. As we're going to learn throughout the game, this is an impossible request.

Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Human are so barbaric.
I didn't know humans
were so impolite.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
How barbaric!
I didn't know humans were
so impolite.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
The boy is about to
hit the bird.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Those boys are about to
hit the bird.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Minister races to the bird's rescue, ordering the boys to stop.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What do you think your
doing?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What do you think you're
doing?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Minister approaches Peter and says that they're new here. Peter understands, and the Minister asks Peter to see King Granseal.

New Granseal Castle

The rest of the party members are already before the King.

Chester
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], it must
be an important job.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], something
important is happening.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
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.

Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But...are we so
highborn? I didn't
know that.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
But...legendary?
I don't know about that.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Granseal
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You're really highborn,
[Peter]! I read that
phoenix serves a god.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You are legendary, [Peter]!
I read that a phoenix serves
a god.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
God, ah, Volcanon!
[Luke] calls him a god.
As long as he's here,
nothing can break the
peace of Parmecia.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
God? Ah, Volcanon!
[Luke] calls him a god.
As long as he watches over
us, nothing can break the
peace of Parmecia.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Volcanon! A great
father who created theearth!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Volcanon! The great being
who created the Earth!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Volcanon? The great being
who created the Earth?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
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.

Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ah, that's good!
To tell the truth, I
hurt my wing during
this trip.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Ummm...OK.
To tell the truth, I hurt
my wing during this trip.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Peter wanted to ask for help, but he doesn't want to trouble anyone.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Don't worry. Troubles
are good study for
these lads!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Don't worry. These lads
love trouble.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
More humorous dialogue courtesy of whoever punched up the English script.

Astral realizes that Bowie's been listening to all of this. Bowie is a master of stealth.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're going to Mt.
Volcano with [Peter].It's to the fa
r east!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're going to Mt. Volcano
with [Peter].
It's in the far east!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Minister tells Astral that he can't go.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're still getting used to
this country. He's still
needed here.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We're still learning about
this country. You're needed
here.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The King agrees with the Minister.

Granseal
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], please take you
group and go with
[Peter].
Astral, you agree?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero], please take your
party and go with
[Peter].
Astral, do you agree?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral reluctantly agrees. Peter decides to tag along with Bowie.

Peter
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Mt. Volcano is in the
east...very far away.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Mt. Volcano is in the east....
It's very far away.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Minister gives Bowie a gift of 100 gold coins. How generous. The party starts their long journey to the east...

...Oh, and there's a group of monsters in the way. But not for long.

Area Dialogue

The Minister questions the new soldiers' competency.

Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Judging from this homesick guy, he's right to question their ability.

Soldier
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't believe it!
Is this Granseal?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I can't believe it!
This isn't Granseal!

A maid is sleepy.
