This translation is © 1996 Mark Rosa. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [After defeating Exdeath] All: The crystals!! Butz: They're shattering! [All goes black...] Lenna: What's that!? Faris: Tycoon Castle? Lenna: Are we... back!? [In Tycoon Castle] Minister: Princess Lenna! Princess Sarisa! Welcome back! Lenna: Where's Father? Minister: Unfortunately, His Majesty has passed away... somehow we must all overcome this tragedy... but then, Princess Sarisa has returned to us alive, so... Faris: "Sarisa"... that's my real name? Minister: Yes, Your Highness. Faris: The name Dad gave me? Butz: Hey! Minister: Well, the banquet is all ready! Your friends can join in too! [at the banquet] Faris (in a fancy dress): I can't stand looking like this! Minister: Oh, don't say that, Your Highness! Faris: Huh!? [Faris walks out to throne room] All: Wow, she's so beautiful! Butz (with a heart above his head :): Yeah, she is... Kururu: Butz! You're blushing!! Butz: Oh, shut up... Guard: Dance, everybody!! Dancer 1: Lenna is so beautiful... and Sarisa is too! Dancer 2: So Princess Sarisa has begun calling herself Faris? Dancer 3: I hope Lenna and Sarisa never leave again! If they don't stay here... [Out on the balcony] Kururu: Grandpa... Butz: What's wrong? Are you thinking about Galuf? Kururu: Uh huh. But I'm not sad or anything... just a little nervous. I feel like he wants us to hurry... Butz: OK, let's go then. Kururu: Huh? Butz: Why were we warped back to this world? We'd better look into it. Kururu: Yeah! Kururu: What about Lenna and Faris? Butz: What can we do? They're staying here. [Soldier runs into Tycoon] Soldier: So sorry! But I've got to deliver the news about the bridge in the west! It's all finished!! Butz: Maybe Boko is in that cave over there... Kururu: Who's Boko? Butz: My chocobo that I ride around on. Kururu: Really!? Butz: What? You don't believe me!? Kururu: But Butz, you're pathetic at riding the Hiryuu! Yet you can ride a chocobo? Butz: What are you talking about!? (pushes her) Kururu: Now you've done it! Take THIS!! (pushes him back) Butz: Drat! I'm no match for you... [At the cave] Butz: Boko! Boko: Kue--! Kururu: Hi, I'm Kururu. Nice to meet you. Butz: Kururu, you can talk to Chocobos!? Kururu: Well, just a little. It looks like he wants to introduce someone. (Boko and Kururu talk) Kururu: Wow! He has a wife! Her name is... Koko. Butz: Boko, so you've...! Butz: Boko, I need you to do something... Boko: Kue--! Kururu: He says he understands. Butz: Huh!? Kururu: He knows you've got to go on a long trip. Butz: Is that OK with you, Boko? (Boko talks to Koko) Butz: What's he saying? Kururu: He says he loves her... Butz: Hmph! Kururu: He's asking her to take care of their child while he's gone. Butz: Child!? Kururu: Koko's going to have a baby. She'll wait here for us. Butz: Thanks, Koko! Koko: Kue! [Our heroes hop on Boko and ride around... suddenly, northwest of Tycoon, they fall into a hole!] Butz: Owww!! Kururu: Guess we tried to jump too far... Butz: Boko! This is all your fault!! Boko: Kue! Kururu: You better not hit Boko! Kururu: Butz, what's that!? (Fight with Antlion) Butz: So this a monster nest... oh man, just what we need... Kururu: What'll we do? Boko: Kue... (a rope comes down from above and Butz can't get to it...) Butz: Will you quit that!? Faris (holding the rope): Admit you did wrong? OK, come on up! Butz: Faris!! Faris: Were you just going to leave me back there!? Don't do that again! Butz: But why did you... Faris: Come on, I'm no princess! (laughs) Kururu: Ouch! Butz: What happened? Kururu: I'm OK; it was just this little thorn. (Faris rejoins!) [Then, our heroes happen upon a small cave which wasn't there last time we visited this world... turns out it's Ghido's Dwelling! How didit get here? ...] Butz: Ghido! Hey!! Ghido: Sorry, sorry... I ended up here after the shock of the two worlds merging back into one... Ghido: And I couldn't do a thing! Ho, ho, ho!! Butz: Ghido... you say the two worlds merged into one...? Ghido: Hmmm... the legend couldn't be true, could it? Even I don't believe it... but supposedly, 1000 years ago, Butz's world and Kururu's world were one and the same. Butz: One world!? Ghido: Correct. Butz: Then why did the world split into two? Ghido: To seal off the power of "mu". Butz: "Mu"? Ghido: Yes. A thousand years ago, there was an powerful evil Enuo. The Enuo had the power to control the "mu". The battle continued on for quite a while, but finally the humans defeated him using the Twelve Legendary Weapons. But even they couldn't destroy the "mu" that the Enuo had created. So, as a last resort, the people split th crystals into two parts. And since they split the crystals, which keep the world in balance, the world itself split in two. And in the gap between the two worlds - the "Cleft of Dimension" - they sealed off the "mu". Butz: So what Exdeath was saying was true... Lenna: Returning the world to its original state... Faris: But the crystals were lost... Butz: The wind won't come back... the blessings of earth and water, the power of fire... they're gone, never to return... Kururu: Hey! This splinter hurts! Butz: Exdeath! Exdeath: Fwa, ha, ha... I turned myself into a little splinter, and I've been waiting for this very moment! My real objective is to get my hands on the power of the "mu" that's been sealed up in the Cleft of Dimension! Butz: What!? Exdeath: So that's why I had to return the world to its original form! Fwa, ha, ha! Ghido: It looks like the Cleft of Dimension is going to appear in this world! Faris: Is that where the "mu" is? Exdeath: Yes! That's the thing I'm after! And now I shall obtain the ultimate power, the power of "mu"! Butz: Not if we can help it! (Exdeath hits Ghido and Butz, and Tycoon is sucked into the "mu"!) Kururu: Tycoon Castle! Faris: Lenna!! Exdeath: Excellent! Behold, the power of "mu"! The ultimate power which shall devour everything! And soon it'll be all mine! Faris: Lenna! Why yoouuu----!!!! (Our heroes are shot by Exdeath) Exdeath: Die, you stupid fools!! Exdeath: Why you... you turtle! (Ghido and Exdeath fight) Exdeath: Hmm... you're not too bad! Ghido: Don't forget.. I've been around for 700 years! Exdeath: Now I'm all-powerful!! Stupid cretins! (At the Ancient Library) [I translated the quotes from all the scholars, since they're pretty important. But the numbers are the order in which *I* talked to them, so... by the way, I started in the lower left and went clockwise.] Scholar 1: It should take a while before Exdeath gains control of the "mu"... Scholar 2: Since the two worlds have combined into one, the Sealed Castle of Koozer should lie to the east of Tule. Scholar 3: Hmmm... if you put the two worlds together... that means the Ancient Library would be here... ah, now I get it... Scholar 4: Split the crystals in two, and the world splits in two... the power of "mu" wouldn't be sealed up if that hadn't happened. Scholar 5: Says here that there's a city sealed up in the Cleft of Dimension, where they've got fantastic magic, weapons, and armor from a thousand years in the past... Now that the Cleft of Dimension's appeared, I wonder where that city would be...? Scholar 6: Cid and Mid headed off the Crescent Island, and they haven't come back yet. Scholar 7: Since the world's merged into one, the Book of Sealings has become one as well.. Scholar 8: It's written here that there's an evil forest and cave sealed up in the Cleft of Dimension. Scholar 9: It's all useless anyway... even if we do manage to defeat Exdeath, the crystals are gone... Scholar 10: Exdeath's really a tree... I suppose that's why he turned himself into a splinter... Scholar 11: Supposedly, the places where the Slabs are located are guarded by Gargoyles. Scholar 12: Please prevent Exdeath from getting the power of "mu"! Shall I read to you from the Book of Sealings...? [Side note: Talk to the people on the top floor to get the Song of Magic (Maryoku no Uta) for your Bard.] [After passing the Ancient Tree uneventfully, (^_^;) our heroes arrive at the Desert] Butz: The quicksand's stopped! Kururu: Since the crystals shattered, the power of the earth is gone... Faris: The earth's weakened! (Fight with Gargoyles; the Book of Sealings rises up) Kururu: The Book of Sealings! "The place where the slab rests, sealed away with spirits of the past, guarded by the earth..." [Journey through the Pyramid; note that there's no boss at the top!] Got the 1st Slab!! Butz: Huh!? Kururu: There's some writing on the slab... "Bahamut, King of the Dragons,"... (Shot of the place where you landed the airship, way back in World 1... still remember this? ^^) Kururu: The peninsula's sinking!! (Bahamut flies through the air) Butz: Here he comes! Bahamut: I'll be waiting for you... at the top of the Northern Mountain... Faris: Look! The airship's floating this way! [On the way back, at the Ancient Tree] Kururu: Hiryuu! Faris: Lenna!! (Lenna's been possessed by Meryujiinu) Butz: Lenna! Snap out of it! Lenna: Now I've acquired this body... Faris: Lenna! (Exdeath's theme) Exdeath: Go, Meryujiinu! You who've been sealed in the Cleft of Dimension for a millennium... Butz: Exdeath! Exdeath: Fwa, ha, ha... the monsters in the Cleft of Dimension have now become my servants!! Butz: Urgh... Faris, Kururu: Lenna! Stop!! Exdeath: Killed at the hands of your own friend!! Fwa ha ha ha.... Butz: Exdeath... Exdeath: But first I'll do away with that turtle friend of yours, right in front of your very eyes! (The Ancient Library is sucked into the "mu"!) Exdeath: Soon, the whole world shall kneel down before me!! Fwa, ha, ha!!!! Butz: Len... na... ... stop... (The Hiryuu's desperate attack separates Lenna's body from that of the monster!) Butz: Now!! (Fight with Meryujiinu) Butz: Lenna! Lenna: Butz, I... Faris: Lenna! Lenna: Faris, Kururu... the castle... I was trapped in the darkness too... Faris: We understand... try not to talk... (Lenna rejoined!) [Back on the airship] Lenna: The entrance to the Cleft of Dimension is where the castle used to be... Kururu: We've gotta hurry! Before Exdeath gets the "mu"! Faris: But Ghido said we'd never be able to win with the strangth we've got now... Butz: But the Twelve Legendary Weapons in the Sealed Castle of Koozer... let's hurry up and go there! (Cut scene in the Cleft of Dimension) Exdeath: This power of "mu"... can't I control it? "Mu"!! Show me your power!! Go! Destroy the world!! Show me the true power of "mu"!! (Several cities are sucked into the mu) Kururu: Towns are being sucked into the "mu"!! Butz: Exdeath!! Stooooopppp---!!! (The Moogle Forest gets sucked into the mu) Moogles: Kupo--!! Kururu! Kupo!! (Lix gets sucked in as well) People in Lix: Buuuutz--!! Heeeelp! Lenna: Oh my... Faris: Butz, your home... the town of Lix... Kururu: My gosh... this is... Butz: Aaaargggghhhhhh------!!!! (Butz flies the airship around the world several times ^_^) [At Illucia, the Town of Illusion] 1: We live in the Cleft of Dimension... travelling through time... 2: This is the town of illusion... it drifts through the Cleft of Dimension... 3: You can speak to us!? Have we returned to the real world? 4: In the Cleft of Dimension, time stops in this town... 5: A milllennium ago, I saw it... the world split in two... 6: A strange bird showed up here... 7: There's a Phoenix Tower in the desert. Supposedly, that's where a dead dragon will revive in the form of a phoenix... 8: The evil mage Enuo who tried to take over the world using the power of the mu... he was sucked into the "mu" and disappeared. 9: This town is an illusion; it appears and disappears... We're travellers who come to life once every thousand years... Hey, that would make a nice song! What do you think? 10: Now that time has returned to this town, does that mean that the "mu" has reappeared? Bartender: The Enuo was immortal. But in exchange for acquiring the power of "mu", he lost his invulnerable body. 12: You know what I think I'll do? ... Yeah, that's the ticket! I'll ride all the way around the world on a chocobo! 13: There are two of each kind of merchant in this town. [Cut scene before entering the Shrine on the Solitary Island] Exdeath: Ah, my servants! Monsters of the Cleft of Dimension! Those warriors who are being guided by the light of the crystals are now after the ancient slabs... we mustn't let the slabs fall into their hands! The consequences would be disastrous! Monster: We'll stop them! Exdeath: Go, my monsters!! And I shall have the power of "mu" for my very own! [Back at the shrine...] "The place where the slab rests in an island shrine, guarded by the wind..." [After defeating the boss "Stalker"] Got the 2d Slab! The Fork Tower, where the ultimate white magic lies, is opened! Kururu: There's something written on the slab... "The tower where the ultimate white magic lies... the Fork Tower... is split into two parts. If the two magics at the top of each tower aren't taken simultaneously, the tower will explode." [At the Fork Tower] Kururu: The tower'll explode if we don't take the two magics at the same time...? Butz: So we have to split into two groups... (Split into two parties... which side will Butz go on?) [Repeat this for all four members.] [At the top of the Strength Tower] We've got to take them at the same time! People at the other tower: Got it! [Battle with "Minotaur" and "The All-Knowing"; get "Holy" and "Flare"] Butz: The tower's disappearing! (Go into the Catapult to meet Cid and Mid again) [Acquiring the Submarine] Mid: Almost done! Kururu: Cid's doing his best. Mid: My grandpa... he thinks that it's all his fault that the world turned out like this... Kururu: But it's not because of his... Mid: Yeah, he knows that. So now he wants to make sure that his inventions are used for peace. Cid: All finished! Cid: If you want to go underwater, select "down" and press the "A" button. Butz: Thanks, Cid! Thanks, Mid! Cid: Butz... We can't wield swords or anything... all we can do is technologial stuff. Cid: But we'll do everything we can! We'll leave the rest to you... Butz: OK, let's go! Lenna: So now we can go under water? Faris: There's another slab under the ocean floor... Kururu: Take care of Cid! Mid: Come back again sometime, OK... (While chasing the third slab, our heroes find themselves in... the Dwarf Kingdom!) Dwarf 1: Lali-ho!! We've only got 5 people, but it's still a great kingdom, lali! Dwarf 2: Do you know the "Magic Lamp"? If you go back to where you were before, the lamp's power'll revive. Dwarf 3: Lalibo's off digging a tunnel, lali! Says he's gonna go all the way around the world! Lalibo: I've dug all this way, but there's something weird about the ground above, lali! Must be forest up there. (Shot of map) (The 5th dwarf is selling some equipment in the other room.) (In the Istory Waterfall Cave) [B7F] Got the 4th slab! Little red monster: That slab... I can't let that out of my hands... If Exdeath gets the "mu", a world of us monsters will be born! And I can't let you interfere!! (Leviathan crushed the monster!) Leviathan: My power of water cleanses and flows over everything... and you who have the power to fight the "mu"... I'll never give it to the likes of you! (Fight with Leviathan) Call Monster "Leviathan"! Odin: So, you came here to defeat me? But I haven't the time to fight with you... I'll give you 1 minute; is that all right? (Say yes, and...) After a minute passes, I shall slice through you without mercy. Do you still wish to fight me? (Fight with Odin) Odin: Enough! Call Monster "Odin"! [At the top of the Northern Mountain] [Bahamut flies to the mountain] Bahamut: You who open the seals... defeat me, and my power will be yours! (Fight with Bahamut) Call Monster "Bahamut"! [Pirates' base, revisited] Faris: Syldra! I knew you were still alive! Butz: Hey Faris, what's going on? Lenna: Yeah, what are you looking at? Faris: But... but Syldra was right there... Kururu: He's called Syldra? Faris: Kururu!! You see him!? Kururu: Syldra's spirit says that he wants to help you, Faris... Faris: Really...? Kururu: Syldra's so sweet. Call Monster "Syldra"! Pirate: Chocobos are so cute once you get used to 'em! I wonder if Koko's baby'll be born soon... Drunk pirate: Hic--! Koko: Kue! Kue! Kururu: She says to be careful. Thanks! Pirate on bridge: One time my uncle rescued this little girl in the water... she kept calling herself "Farifa", we named her "Faris". Pirate: Our captain's really the princess of Tycoon! Get a load of that! Old guy: That bird Boko's feeling all better now! They're even gonna have a child! Ha ha ha! (Exdeathian laugh) Pirate: We're so selfish... that's the pirate business for ya! Pirate: 'Cause of the earthquake, this base ended up being connected to that cave... Pirate: Don't worry, Captain. We'll be OK while you're gone! Another drunk pirate: Captain--! I love you so much! Hic--! [At the top of the Phoenix Tower] [Lenna's flashback scene] Lenna: You mean there's nothing we can do to save Mother? King: I tried doctors... the sickness can only be cured with the tongue of a Hiryuu. King: Lenna! What do you think you're doing with that knife!? ... I can't believe you! King: Wait! Jenica: I'll handle this. Jenica: Lenna! If you kill that Hiryuu, they'll become extinct. And... your mother dearly loved that dragon. Even then, you wuld cut out its tongue? (If you answer "yes") King: You fool! (He hits Lenna) (If you answer "no") Jenica: Your father comes here every day and grieves. But... it's all right. Lenna: Oh... Mother... (she cries) The Hiryuu became "Phoenix", and entrusted its spirit and power to Lenna... Call Monster "Phoenix"! Lenna: Thank you... Hiryuu... [In the sunken Tower of Worus... remember that one crystal chip that you just couldn't get? ^_^] Gogo: Finally I've got the great power of this crystal chip. And I won't give it to anybody! So just do as I say and drop it! (If you don't...) Gogo: My name is Gogo! The famous Mimic! Since the secret to being a Mimic is mimicing... I'm going to do whatever you do! If you fight, I'll fight... If you use magic, I will too. If you do what I do, you can surely win! (Fight with Gogo...?) Gogo: I give up! Just like I said! If I don't do anything... you mimic that! That is, it's OK if you don't do a thing. That's what being a mimic is! You passed! Farewell! (Casts "Degeon" = "X-Zone") [Entering the "mu"!] Kururu: What's that!? Lenna: The entrance to the Cleft of Dimension! Faris: We're being sucked in! Butz: We're gonna fall into the "mu"! [After desert part...] Monster:We monsters, who've been sealed here in the Cleft of Dimension for a millennium... Exdeath has released the power of "mu", and a world of darkness shall be born! Our world!! You won't stand in our way... you'll die here in the Cleft of Dimension! Thanks to our dark powers!! Fwa ha ha... [There's no boss in the ruins part] [After forest part...] Karophysteli: Now it's time for a little nap in the forest... forever!! (Fight with Karophysteli) [Then comes a waterfall/cave, then you enter a room with some books..] Apanda: So, you got this far... But nonetheless your lives have come to an end! This book is a dimensional switch, and your fates were sealed the moment you disturbed it! (Fight with Apanda) Book from 1000 years ago: Suddenly it appeared in the sky! Omega, the monster without a soul! And the Shinryuu that followed it... even the brave warriors with the Twelve Legendary Weapons are no match for them! Best not to disturb them; let them rest quietly in the Cleft of Dimension... Mage's book: At last I've got it... the secret of Giga Flare! During the instant when he powers up his magic, he's defenseless! [This refers to... well, you'll see!] [Deeper into the Cleft of Dimension] Gilgamesh: Butz? Is that you? If it is, say so!! All these monsters are so scary... and I can't find the exit... I think I'm gonna cry! ... But where did you come from? Butz: Well, we entered the "mu"... etc., etc... Gilgamesh: Ah ha! Then we can get out! Butz: ... Gilgamesh: (realizes that Butz can't leave) Oh... well then... surely we'll meet again! If we're still alive, that is... but we will meet, I'm sure of it! And we'll fight as friends! Until then... [During the fight with Necrophobia] Butz: Gilgamesh! Gilgamesh: Well, there's still time! I wasn't about to go into history looking like that! Necrophobia: Hey, what's going on here!? I suppose I'll do away with you, too! (Necrophobia fights Gilgamesh) Gilgamesh: (to Necrophobia) Hmph! Gotta hand it to you; you're top-notch! You can even defeat the great Gilgamesh...? Gilgamesh: Kururu... your father was such a strong man... Kururu: Grandpa... Gilgamesh: Faris... if you were to fall in love, you might be more feminine... Faris: ... Gilgamesh: Lenna! You're so kind to all living things... don't ever forget that gentle spirit... Gilgamesh: Butz! I wanted to duel with you one-on-one... you have such good friends! Butz: Gilgamesh... Necrophobia: Die!! (casts Flare) Gilgamesh: (to Butz) You're supposed to say that! [After saving at the point created by Necrophobia, our heroes meet Exdeath!] Exdeath: Too late! Fwa, ha, ha!! At last I've got it! The ultimate power... power that can rule the entire world! The power of... "mu"!! And now I'll dispose of you meddling fools! First, your friends!! Watch me suck them into the "mu"! [Exdeath sends some more towns into the "mu"] Butz: Stooop!! Exdeath: Fwa, ha, ha!! Now I'll make you disappear into the mu as well! [Exdeath creates "mu" in front of Butz and the party and sucks them in!] Dorgan: Butz, get up! [The Four Braves of Dawn suddenly appear! Galuf, Kelgar, Zeza, and Dorgan!] Butz: Dad! Zeza! Kelgar! [Galuf appears] Kururu: Grandpa!! Butz: Galuf!! Galuf: Presenting... The Light Warriors!! Butz, Lenna, Faris and Kururu... while we hold back the "mu", defeat Exdeath! Only you, the Light Warriors, can save the world from the darkness! Go!! Exdeath: What?? Why is the power of "mu" disappearing!? Aaarrghhh... take this! Lenna: Father! Faris: Dad! The Four Braves of Dawn: Now! Go defeat Exdeath! Go, Light Warriors! [Our heroes nod to one another] Butz: Here we come, Exdeath!! [Fight and Exdeath gets sucked into the "mu"!] Exdeath: Why...!? I had the power of "mu"... What the... Arrrrrrgggghhhh!!!! Neo-Exdeath: I am NeoExdeath... I shall destroy all memory, all existence, and all dimensions... then I too shall disappear... forever!! [You've reached the final battle!! You can do it!! ^^]
