2000–2099| Woolsey (SNES) | Slattery (GBA) | FF6:ROSE v1.14 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | VICKS: There's the town... WEDGE: Hard to believe an Esper's been found intact there, 1000 years after the War of the Magi... | Wedge: There's the city... Biggs: Hard to believe an esper's been found frozen there a thousand years after the War of the Magi... | Biggs "There's the city…" Wedge "Hard to believe an Esper's been found frozen there a thousand years after the War of the Magi…" | Slattery. |
| 1 | VICKS: Think it's still alive? WEDGE: Probably... ...judging from the urgency of our orders. | Biggs: Bah! Probably just another wild goose chase... Wedge: I don't know... They wouldn't have let us use her unless they were confident that the information was good. | Biggs "So you don't think this is all a wild goose chase?" Wedge "Hrm… Well, I doubt they would've authorized us to use her if the information wasn't good." | Slattery's figure of speech "wild goose chase" superimposed on more literal sentence structure. |
| 2 | VICKS: And this woman, this...sorcerer. Why's she here? I heard she fried 50 of our Magitek Armored soldiers in under 3 minutes. | Biggs: Ah, yes...our witch. I hear she fried fifty of our Magitek armored soldiers in three minutes... Kinda makes your skin crawl, don't it? | Biggs "Ah, yes… our witch…" "I heard she fried fifty of our Magitek armored soldiers in a span of three minutes. Makes my skin crawl just looking at her…" | See #1; "Witch" is the common N.A. replacement for "The girl said to have the power of madou[kWhazit: Sorcery]" in official translations. |
| 3 | WEDGE: Not to worry. The Slave Crown on her head robs her of all conscious thought. She'll follow orders. | Wedge: Relax. With that thing on her head, she's a mindless puppet. The girl won't even breathe unless we tell her to. | Wedge "Relax. With that thing on her head, she's a mindless puppet. She won't lift a finger unless we tell her to." | Slattery, replaced "even breathe" with "lift a finger". "Even breathe" considered too hyperbolic, considering Terra would literally be breathing freely as the line is being spoken. |
| 4 | WEDGE: We'll approach from the east. Move out! | Wedge: We'll approach from the east. Move out! | Wedge "We'll approach from the east. Move out!" | (W) |
| 5 | Long ago, the War of the Magi reduced the world to a scorched wasteland, and magic simply ceased to exist. | The ancient War of the Magi... When its flames at last receded, only the charred husk of a world remained. Even the power of magic was lost... | The ancient War of the Magi… When its flames at last receded, only the charred husk ofa world remained. Even the power of magic was lost… | Slattery, word for word. (Had to pull a few strings...) |
| 6 | 1000 years have passed... Iron, gunpowder, and steam engines have been rediscovered, and high technology reigns... | In the thousand years that followed, iron, gunpowder, and steam engines took the place of magic, and life slowly returned to the barren land... | In the thousand years that followed, iron, gunpowder, and steam engines gave new birth to civilization, and life slowly returned to the barren land… | Mostly Slattery. Slattery's novel "took the place of magic" replaced with "gave new birth to civilization". "took the place of magic" implies that pre-War society at large was built on magic, which is not implied by established lore. (See #2011, #2013 - while the power of Sorcery in principle may have been widespread, actual magic users must have been in the minority) |
| 7 | But there are some who would enslave the world by reviving the dread destructive force known as "magic." | Yet there now stands one who would reawaken the magic of ages past, and use its dread power as a means by which to conquer all the world... | But there now stand those who would reawaken the legendary magic of ages past, and use its dread power to conquer all the world… | Slattery, simplified; The consensus among the sources is that the "who" of this sentence is plural. |
| 8 | Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake? | ...Could anyone truly be foolish enough to repeat that mistake? | Could mankind be on the verge of repeating a catastrophic mistake…? | DarkMage. |
| 9 | An eerie glow surrounds you. Want info about Save Points? <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | A strange light fills the air. Do you want to learn about save points? <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | A strange light fills the air. Want to learn about save points? <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | Slattery. |
| 10 | WEDGE: Let's put her on point. No sense taking any risks. Forward! | Wedge: The girl takes point. And don't waste time on the riffraff! Remember what we're here for. Let's move! | Wedge "The girl takes point. And don't waste time on the riffraff. Let's move!" | Slattery; removed redundant "Remember what we're here for." |
| 11 | WEDGE: The Esper's gotta be in here. Move out! | Wedge: The esper's gotta be here. Let's keep looking! | Wedge "The Esper's gotta be here. Let's keep looking!" | Slattery. |
| 12 | GUARD: Imperial Magitek Armor? Not even Narshe's safe anymore! | Guard: Imperial Magitek armor!? Not even Narshe is safe anymore! | Guard "Imperial Magitek Armor!? Not even Narshe is safe anymore!" | (W & S) |
| 13 | GUARD: Machine-riding, self-important swine! Take this! | Guard: The Empire's got no business here! | Guard "Imperial pigs! You're not gonna have your way here!" | Spooniest merged w/ kWhazit. |
| 14 | GUARD: Narshe's freedom depends on us! | Guard: For Narshe! | Guard "Narshe's freedom depends on us!" | (W) |
| 15 | WEDGE: According to our source, the frozen Esper was found in a new mine shaft. ...Maybe this one... | Wedge: According to our source, they unearthed the frozen esper in a new mine shaft they were digging... This must be it. | Wedge "According to our source, they uncovered the frozen Esper in a new mine shaft they were digging…" "This must be it." | Slattery. |
| 16 | VICKS: I'll handle this. Stand back! | Biggs: I'll handle this. Stand back! | Biggs "I'll handle this. Stand back!" | (W & S) |
| 17 | GUARD: We've got 'em trapped, now! | Guard: We've got 'em trapped now! | Guard "All right! We've got 'em surrounded!" | kWhazit; them->'em. "We've got 'em trapped now" (W, S) considered too cocky of a tone for the very overwhelmed Narshe guards to take. |
| 18 | GUARD: We must defend the mines! | Guard: Defend the mines! | Guard "We must hold the mines!" | Woolsey; "defend" -> "hold [DarkMage]". |
| 19 | Locked. | It's locked. | Locked. | (W) |
| 20 | GIRL: Where am I...? | Girl: Where...am I? | Girl "Where am I…?" | (W) |
| 21 | OLD MAN: Whoa! And I only just removed the crown! GIRL: ...head...hurts... | Old Man: My, my! And I just removed the crown! Girl: My head...hurts... | Older Man "Oh…! And I only just removed the crown!" Girl "…Head… hurts…" | Woolsey; "Whoa!" -> "Oh...! [kWhazit]" |
| 22 | OLD MAN: Easy! This is a Slave Crown. The others had complete control over you while you were wearing it. | Old Man: Easy, there! This is a slave crown. The others were using it to control you. It was robbing you of your thoughts-- making it so you'd do whatever they told you. | Older Man "Easy, there!" "This is a slave crown. It robs whoever's wearing it of their thoughts. The others were using it to control you." | Slattery; Simplified/casualized the definition for slave crown. Slave crown now defined before its relationship to Terra is given. |
| 23 | GIRL: I can't remember a thing... OLD MAN: Don't worry. It'll all come back to you...in time, that is. ......... | Girl: I can't remember a thing... Old Man: Don't worry. It'll all come back to you... In time, that is. Girl: ... | Girl "I…can't remember anything…" Older Man "Don't worry. It'll all come back to you… In time, that is." Girl "……" | Woolsey/Slattery; "a thing" -> "anything". "a thing" considered too poetic/dramatic. |
| 24 | My name... ...is...Terra... OLD MAN: Impressive! I've never heard of anyone recovering this fast...! | Girl: My name is...Terra... Old Man: Impressive! I've never heard of anyone recovering so fast. You must be made of tougher stuff than most... | Girl "My name…is… Terra…" Older Man "Impressive…! I've never heard of anyone recovering so fast." "You must be made of tougher stuff than most…" | Slattery; "so fast" -> "this fast [Woolsey]". Includes Slattery's "You must be made of tougher stuff than most", which is analogous to "Strong will you have there. [kWhazit]". Woolsey's rendering omits Old Man's explicit acknowledgment that there must be something unique about Terra. |
| 25 | SOLDIER: Open up! Give us back the girl and the Empire's Magitek Armor!! | Guard: Open up! We're here for the Magitek armor pilot! | Guards "Open up!" "We're here for the Magitek Armor pilot!" | Slattery; split into 2 speakers as in FF6j. |
| 26 | SOLDIER: Open this door! We want that girl! She's an officer of the Empire! | Guard: Open this door right now, and hand over that girl! She's an agent of the Empire! | Guards "Open this door right now!" "Hand over that girl! She's an agent of the Empire!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery; split into multiple speakers. 2 speakers instead of FF6j's 3, since there are only two guards shown outside. |
| 27 | Terra: Empire...? Magitek Armor...? | Terra: Empire...? Magitek armor...? | Terra "Empire? Magitek Armor…?" | (Unused) (W & S) |
| 28 | OLD MAN: Look, I have to get you out of here! I don't have time to explain! | Old Man: There's no time to explain! You need to get out of here! These fools aren't going to listen to reason... | Older Man "There's no time to explain. You have to get out of here!" "These brutes aren't going to listen to reason…" | Slattery; Novel "fools" -> "brutes" (see Woolsey #32) |
| 29 | OLD MAN: Over here! | Old Man: This way! Quickly! | Older Man "This way, quickly!" | Slattery; Reformatted into a single sentence. |
| 30 | A mysterious young woman, controlled by the Empire, and born with the gift of magic...... | A mysterious young woman, born with the gift of magic, and enslaved by the Gestahlian Empire... | A mysterious young woman, born with the gift of magic, and enslaved by the Empire… | Woolsey; "controlled" -> "enslaved [Slattery]". Exchanged second and third lines (as in FF6j), making the intro read more chronologically. Iconic phrase "gift of magic" is NOT replaced by "power of sorcery [kWhazit]" -- impact on the overall magic/sorcery distinction is insignificant. |
| 31 | Please enter a name. | Please enter a name. | Please enter a name. | (Unused) (W & S) |
| 32 | OLD MAN: Make your way out through the mines! I'll keep these brutes occupied! | Old Man: Make your way out of town through the mines! I'll try to buy you some time. | Older Man "Make your way out of town through the mines! I'll try to buy you some time." "Now hurry…!" | Slattery + "Now hurry! [kWhazit]", line omitted by Woolsey & Slattery. |
| 33 | Got her! | Guard: There she is! | Guard "There she is!" | Slattery. |
| 34 | She's up there! | Guard: Up there! | Guard "Up there!" | Slattery. |
| 35 | KEFKA: My sweet little magic user...! Uweee, he, he! With this Slave Crown I'll practically OWN you!! | Kefka: My sweet little magic user... Uwee-hee-hee! With this slave crown, you'll be all mine! | Kefka "My sweet little magic user… Uwee-hee-hee!" "Once this slave crown touches your head, I'll practically OWN you!" | Woolsey, reformatted; "With this Slave Crown" -> "Once this slave crown touches your head (DarkMage)", w/r/t literal "If I put this manipulation band on you [kWhazit]" |
| 36 | Terra: No! Get away from me! | Terra: No! Get away from me! | ~~~ Terra "No! Get away from me!" | (Unused) (W & S) |
| 37 | GESTAHL: We stand on the brink of a major breakthrough! In the days to come, we'll witness a total revival of magic! GESTAHL: It is our destiny, and ours alone, to take this mystic force and claim what is rightfully ours! | Gestahl: Soldiers of the Empire! We stand at the dawn of a new age! Gestahl: The lost power of magic has returned to us! We are the chosen ones! | Gestahl "Gestahlian Empire!" "We stand at the dawn of a new age. At last, the lost power of sorcery has been restored unto us!" "Destiny has charged us to take this mystic force and claim what is rightfully ours!" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey & edited for style. Slattery's novel "Soldiers of the Empire!" -> "Gestahlian Empire!" ("Gestahlian Empire" appears in FF6j on the following page of the same caption.) |
| 38 | CID: This is my finest work. These Magitek converters combine the power of magic with machines... | Cid: This is my finest creation... Magic and technology joined as one... The ultimate machine! | Cid "It's my finest work--combining the powers of sorcery and technology into one ultimate machine…" | (Unused) Slattery merged into Woolsey's tone, updated to use Sorcery as the distinct term for "madou" |
| 39 | GESTAHL: With our new-found power, nothing can stand in our way! Hurrah!!! Long live Emperor Gestahl!!! | Gestahl: The time has come for us to claim our rightful dominion over the world! Gestahl: Nothing shall stand in our way! "Hurrah!" "Long live Emperor Gestahl!" | Gestahl "It is time… The world beckons!" "With such overwhelming power at our command, nothing shall stand in our way!" Soldiers "Hurrah!!" "Long live Emperor Gestahl!!!" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey & edited for style. |
| 40 | OLD MAN: Took you long enough! How goes the robbing and plundering trade? | Old Man: Took you long enough! Busy with all the robbing and plundering, I presume? | Older Man "About time you got here. Busy with all the robbing and plundering, I presume?" | Slattery; "Took you long enough [Woolsey]" -> "About time you got here [DarkMage]". |
| 41 | Locke: I PREFER the term treasure hunting! OLD MAN: Ha! Semantic nonsense! Locke: There's a HUGE difference! | Locke: I prefer the term "treasure hunting"! Old Man: Ha! Semantic nonsense! Locke: There's a huge difference! | Locke "Robbing and plundering!? Call it 'treasure hunting', if anything!" Older Man "Ha! Semantic nonsense!" Locke "Pfft. There's a huge difference!" | Page 1: kWhazit, adapted to wording set up by #40. // Page 2+: Slattery. "Tsk tsk [kWhazit]" -> "Pfft" (certainly an editorial decision). |
| 42 | Locke: Anyway, were you the one who sent for me? OLD MAN: Yeah. There's a girl I'd like you to meet. | Locke: Anyway, is there something you need me to do? Old Man: There is indeed. ...I met the girl. | Locke "Anyway, why did you send for me?" Older Man "Well. As luck would have it, I met the girl." | Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit, edited for style. |
| 43 | Locke: ......!? This better not have anything to do with that Magitek-riding, imperial...witch!!! | Locke: ...!? You don't mean...? | Locke "…!? You don't mean…the witch-girl??" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey. The script needs more than one use of the term "witch" before #124 |
| 44 | OLD MAN: Imperial troops are pursuing her even as we speak. This town is no match for the Empire. Our independence can only be assured if we join forces with the Returners, an underground resistance movement. That girl wasn't responsible for her actions. We must get her to understand our dilemma! | Old Man: The city guard is pursuing her as we speak. This city has the strength to stand up to the Empire, but it won't use it... The people are just too stubbornly independent to join an underground resistance group like the Returners. I tried to explain that the Empire was controlling the girl, but they wouldn't even listen... | Older Man "The city guard is pursuing Miss Terra through the mines as we speak." "This city is capable of standing against the Empire, but it refuses to put its strength to good use." "The people are just too stubbornly independent to join with an underground resistance group like the Returners…" "I tried to explain that the Empire was controlling the girl, but they didn't want to hear it." | Slattery; lightly edited for style. "Miss Terra" inserted; It would seem unlikely that Locke would know Terra's name otherwise. |
| 45 | Locke: All right... I think we'd better help her... | Locke: All right... So, you want me to get her out of Narshe? | Locke "I see… So, my job is to get her out of here?" | Mostly new; based on Woolsey & kWhazit. |
| 46 | OLD MAN: Agreed. Make your way first to Figaro, and talk to the king. | Old Man: That would be the idea. Make your way to Figaro for the time being... | Older Man "That would be the idea. Take her to Figaro for now, and talk to the king." | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey. |
| 47 | Treasure hunter and trail-worn traveler, searching the world over for relics of the past... | A treasure hunter and trail-worn traveler, searching the world over for relics of the past... | A treasure hunter and trail-worn traveler, searching the world over for relics of the past… | Slattery. |
| 48 | GUARD: Now we gotcha! | Guard: Now we've got her! | Marshal "Now we've got her!" | Slattery; "Guard" -> "Marshal" used to match the Marshal enemy name. |
| 49 | Locke: Wonderful... There's a whole bunch of 'em... | Locke: Wonderful... There's a whole bunch of 'em... | Locke "Wonderful… There's a whole bunch of 'em…" | (W & S) |
| 50 | Kupo... | Kupo... | "Kupo…" | (W & S) |
| 51 | Locke: Moogles...! Are you saying you want to help me? | Locke: Moogles... Are you saying you want to help? | Locke "Moogles…! Are you saying you want to help?" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey. |
| 52 | Kupo!!! | Kupo!!! | Kupo!!! | (W & S) |
| 53 | MOOGLE: Use us to save Terra from the guards! Need more information? <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | Moogle: Use us to protect Terra from the guards! Would you like an explanation? <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | Moogle "Use us to protect Terra from the guards!" "Need an explanation?" <Choice> Yes <Choice> No | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey. |
| 54 | You'll fight using 3 different groups. Press the Y Button to switch between them. Your job is to defeat the commander of the guards before his men reach Terra. Save her, or else... | You'll fight using 3 different groups. Press Select to switch between them. Defeat the leader of the guards before his men reach Terra, or the battle's lost! | You'll fight using three different groups. Press the Y button to switch between them. "Defeat the marshal before his men reach Terra, or the battle's lost!" | Slattery; "leader of the guards" -> "Marshal" (see #48). |
| 55 | Terra: Unh... | Terra: Uhhhn... | Terra "Unh…" | (W) |
| 56 | Locke: Thanks, Moogles! We're in your debt! | Locke: Thanks, moogles! We're in your debt! | Locke "Thanks, moogles! We're in your debt!" | (W & S) |
| 57 | Locke: I think this switch'll... | Locke: This switch oughta... | Locke "This switch oughta…" | Slattery. |
| 58 | Locke: Eh? You back with us now?! | Locke: Eh? You back with us now? | Locke "Eh? You back with us now?" | (W & S) |
| 59 | Terra: You...saved me? Locke: Save your thanks for the Moogles! | Terra: You...saved me? Locke: Save your thanks for the moogles! | Terra "You…saved me?" Locke "Save your thanks for the moogles!" | (W & S) |
| 60 | Terra: Uhh...I can't remember anything...past or present... | Terra: Ugh... I can't remember a thing... It's like my mind's trapped in a fog... | Terra "Ugh… I can barely remember anything… recent or otherwise…" | Woolsey; "Uhh" -> "Ugh [Slattery]"; "can't remember"->"can barely remember", since Terra will demonstrate a valid recollection in her very next line; "past or present" -> "recent or otherwise", since the present is not a subject of memory. |
| 61 | Locke: You have amnesia?! | Locke: You lost your memory!? | Locke "You have amnesia!?" | Woolsey, reformatted. |
| 62 | Terra: A man said my memory would come back... Locke: Give it time. You're safe with me! I give you my word! Terra: ??? Locke: I won't leave you until your memory returns!! By the way, this secret entrance might be useful some day. Don't forget about it! | Terra: A man said it would come back...eventually... Locke: So, you've got amnesia... Don't worry! I won't leave your side until your memory returns! Terra: ...? Locke: I'm not gonna up and abandon someone just because they lost their memory! I'll keep you safe! I promise! | Terra "A man said my memory would come back…eventually…" Locke "Memory can be like that… Don't worry. I'll protect you for sure. No matter what!" Terra "…??" Locke "I mean… I'm not gonna just up and abandon someone when they've lost their memory!" "I'll keep you safe. I promise!" | Slattery, adapted to #61; "So, you have amnesia..." -> "Memory can be like that...." - Locke's wistful comment (lit. "Memory...") modified from Slattery to sound more distracted, less deliberate. |
| 63 | MAN: You mean, THIS young woman...?! | King: You mean, this young woman is...? | King "You mean, THIS young woman…!?" | Woolsey, reformatted; Label "MAN" -> "King" |
| 64 | Terra: Who do you think you are? | Terra: Who are you? | Terra "Who are you…?" | Slattery; ellipsis added to emphasize Terra's disorientation. |
| 65 | MAN: Oh...sorry! | King: Oh...my apologies! | King "Oh… my apologies!" | Slattery. |
| 66 | MAN: How rude of me to turn my back to a lady! | King: How rude of me to turn my back to a lady on our very first meeting! | King "How rude of me to turn my back to a lady on our very first meeting!" | Slattery. |
| 67 | The young king of Figaro Castle, ally to the Empire, and a master designer of machinery... | The young king of Figaro Castle, Imperial ally, and champion of the technological revolution... | The young king of Figaro Castle, bound in alliance with the Empire, and a champion of high technology… | Woolsey w/ kWhazit & DarkMage |
| 68 | Edgar: I am Edgar, King of Figaro. | Edgar: I am Edgar, the king of Figaro. | Edgar "I am Edgar, King of Figaro." | (W) |
| 69 | Locke: Surprised someone like me knows a king? | Locke: Heh... Surprised that someone like me knows a king? | Locke "Not bad, huh? Someone like me, knowing a king?" | DarkMage. |
| 70 | Locke: Talk to you later! | Locke: Well, I'll catch you two later! | Locke "Well, I'll see you two later!" | Slattery merged w/ kWhazit |
| 71 | Edgar: So...you're an Imperial soldier! No problem. Figaro and the Empire are allies! Please, relax while you're here. It's not in my blood to harm a lady. | Edgar: So, you're an Imperial soldier, right? Don't worry. Figaro and the Empire are allies. Feel free to rest here for as long as you'd like. It's not in my blood to harm a lady! | Edgar "So, you're an Imperial soldier! Not to worry. Figaro and the Empire are allies." "Feel free to rest here for as long as you like. It's not in my blood to harm a lady." | Slattery, lightly edited for style w/r/t kWhazit |
| 72 | Terra: Look, why are you helping me? Is it because of my...abilities? | Terra: Why are you being so kind to me? Is it because of my...abilities? | Terra "Why are you being so kind to me? Is it because of my…abilities?" | Slattery. |
| 73 | Edgar: I'll give you 3 reasons: First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second...I'm dying to know if I'm your type... | Edgar: I'll give you three reasons. First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second...I'm dying to know if I'm your type! | Edgar "I'll give you three reasons: First of all, your beauty has captivated me!" "Second… I'm dying to know if I'm your type…" | Woolsey, reformatted. |
| 74 | I guess your...abilities...would be a distant 3rd. | I guess your...abilities...would rank a distant third. | Edgar "I guess your…abilities…would be a distant third." | Woolsey, reformatted. |
| 75 | Terra: ......? What's with you, anyway? | Terra: ...? What's the matter? | Terra "……? What's the matter?" | Slattery. |
| 76 | Edgar: Guess my technique's getting a bit rusty... | Edgar: Guess my technique's getting a bit rusty... | Edgar "…Looks like my technique's getting a bit rusty…" | W & S, lightly edited for style w/r/t DarkMage |
| 77 | Edgar: Come find me when you feel rested. | Edgar: Come find me again once you've had a chance to rest. | Edgar "Come find me again when you feel rested." | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 78 | Terra: Hmm...I suppose a normal girl would have found him dashing. But I'm hardly...normal... | Terra: Hmm... I suppose a normal girl would have felt something from those words. But...not me... | Terra "Hmm… I suppose a normal girl would have felt something in those words. But…not me…" | Slattery. |
| 79 | Feel free to wander about. | Feel free to wander about the castle. | Feel free to wander about the castle. | Slattery. |
| 80 | Go see the King! | Go and speak to the king. | Go see the King! | (W) |
| 81 | Weapons and items manufactured here are sent to South Figaro. | The advanced weapons and other items we manufacture here are shipped to South Figaro. | {The advanced weapons and other items we manufacture here/We continue to ship our manufactured weapons and goods} {are shipped /}to South Figaro. | Slattery; Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Edgar. |
| 82 | Long ago, a force called "magic" existed. People who used magic were called "Mage Knights." | The ancients once wielded a force known as "magic." Those who mastered the art were called "magi." | The ancients once wielded a force known as 'magic'. Those who mastered the art were called 'mages'. | Slattery; "Magi" -> "Mages" -- In FF6j there is no 1:1 association between the sorcerers mentioned here and the belligerents of the War of the Magi (lit. the Great Magic War). Woolsey uses "Mage Warriors", which is much more specific a term than intended. "Mage (pl. Mages)" is both general enough AND properly recalls the standard job/class name used by previous FF's for sorcerers--something FF6j's writers almost certainly intended to do. The implicit term "Magus (pl. Magi)" in this script would refer to ANY being with magical capabilities. |
| 83 | Scholars the world over are doing research on magic. Silly people, scholars... | Scholars all over the world are studying magic. But you can only learn so much about something without seeing it... | Scholars the world over are doing research on magic. But you can only learn so much about something without actually seeing it… | Slattery, lightly edited for a more frustrated tone. |
| 84 | Ancient texts I'm studying speak of a "1000 year-old city beneath the sand." I wonder what this means, "...when the queen stands and takes 5 steps..." | To think that a thousand-year-old city would be lying buried beneath the sands of this very desert! I found a short passage about the city in an ancient text, but I haven't been able to make much sense of it. "When the queen stands and takes five steps..." | To think that a thousand-year-old city would be lying buried beneath the desert! "I was able to find a short passage about the city in an ancient text. I wonder what this means:" "'…When the queen stands and takes five steps…'" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey; "this very desert" -> "the desert", since Figaro Castle may be in either of two distinct deserts at the time. |
| 85 | I heard the Empire is using something called "magic"... | I heard the Gestahlian Empire got its hands on something called "magic"... | I heard the Gestahlian Empire managed to harness some force called 'magic'… | Mostly new phrasing; "harnessed" taken from Woolsey #87; Restored commonly omitted "power called magic" (lit.) as "force called magic". "Force" better distinguishes the intangible principle/ability "Magic" from the more tangible substance "Sorcerous Power". |
| 86 | The Empire has smashed the 3 cities on the southern continent. Just a matter of time 'til they come up here... | The Gestahlian Empire has already overthrown all three of the other nations on the southern continent. It's only a matter of time before they make their way up here... | The Empire has already smashed all three of the other nations on the southern continent. It's only a matter of time before they come up here… | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey. |
| 87 | Gestahl has harnessed the power of magic. Who can stop him now?! | Now that Gestahl has the power of Magitek at his command, he's set his sights on world domination. | Now that Gestahl has Magitek power at his command, he's taken aim at world domination. | Slattery; "set his sights" -> "taken aim at", as firearms are not common in the world of FF6; Power of Magitek" -> "Magitek Power" to emphasize its tangibility vs. that of the principle/ability "Magic". Magitek (lit. Sorcery/Sorcerous) is treated by this script as the Empire's own "brand" of Sorcerous Power. When the subject of Sorcerous Power comes up in reference to the Empire, the brand name frequently overtakes the general term. By the Returners' Hideout scene, this script makes it quite clear that the two terms are synonymous. |
| 88 | Though Edgar showers his attentions on women, most are too smart to pay any attention to him. | Our king showers his attention on women. Young, old, pretty, or plain... No one is safe! | {/…}King Edgar {showers/keeps showering} his attention on women. Young, old, pretty, plain… No one is safe{/…}! | Slattery; Restores use of Edgar's name; Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Edgar. |
| 89 | His highness said he'd marry me when I get older! | His Highness said he'd marry me when I got old enough! | His Majesty said he'd marry me when I got old enough! | Slattery; "Highness" -> "Majesty". |
| 90 | I wanna marry the king! | King Edgar, how long do you 'spect me to keep waiting for you to propose? Sheesh! | King Edgar! Will you just propose to me already? Pleeease?? | Slattery, simplified & edited for style. |
| 91 | He recently tried to hit on the high priestess... Surely, he's...talked to you? | Not too long ago, the king tried to hit on the high priestess. Oh, did she ever let him have it! I'm sure he's made a pass or two at you already, hasn't he? | {Not too long ago,/…To think} the king tried to flirt with the Matron{ of the castle./…} Oh, did she ever let him have it{! "/…!" "…}I'm sure he's already made a pass or two at {you, hasn't he?/your friend, hasn't he?/his new guest…}" | DarkMage, lightly edited for style. This script uses localized "Matron [Woolsey]" instead of the more-accurate "High Priestess". In the words of Lina Darkstar, "...it's a Shinto thing." |
| 92 | Terra: ...... | Terra: ... | Terra "……" | (W) |
| 93 | Ah! King Edgar! | Oh! King Edgar! | Ah! King Edgar! | (W) |

| 96 | These thieves have been terrorizing the vicinity. Stay away from 'em! | These good-for-nothing brigands have been locked up for thievery...and worse! You'd best keep a safe distance. | These thieves have been menacing the region. {Keep your/You'd best keep a safe} distance{!/.} | Woolsey merged with Slattery, edits for style w/r/t Mato; Adaptive dialog for M.C. Edgar or Sabin. |
| 97 | I demand to see Edgar! How dare they keep us in this stinking pit! | I demand to see Edgar! How dare they keep us in this stinking pit! | {/Hey! You're not Edgar, are ya? }I demand to see Edgar! How dare they keep us in this stinking pit! | W & S; Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Edgar. |
| 98 | Hey! Let us outta here! | Ugh, something smells terrible in here! ...Oh! I think it's me! | Ugh! Somethin' smells awful in here! …Oh. I think it's me… | Slattery, lightly edited for tone. |
| 99 | Relax, they're just blowing off steam. But I'm telling you, there's no sense keeping us here! We're just small potatos compared to the real threat lurking out there! And King Edgar knows it! | Relax, my boys are just blowing off some steam. I'm sure King Edgar will let us out of here in no time. We're just small potatoes compared to the real threat lurking out there. King Edgar knows that. | Relax… My boys are just blowing off steam. I'm sure {we'll be/ you'll see us} out of here in no time. "We're just small potatoes compared to the real threat lurking out there… {and King Edgar knows i/Your Majesty knows tha}t!" | DarkMage ("I'm sure we'll be out of here in no time") w/r/t Lina Darkstar(?); Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Edgar. |
| 100 | I'm Lone Wolf, the pickpocket! | I'm Lone Wolf the pickpocket! | I'm Lone Wolf the pickpocket! | Slattery. |
| 101 | MATRON: Edgar's at it again!? He hits on anything that moves! | High Priestess: Edgar is simply unbelievable! First the nurse, now me! The man hits on anything that moves! | Matron "Unbelievable… First the nurse, and now me!" "{Edgar/Your Majesty} will hit on anything with a pulse!" | DarkMage; Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Edgar. |
| 102 | MATRON: Edgar has a twin brother. He was such a nice boy... | High Priestess: Edgar has a twin brother, you know. He was such a nice boy, always thinking of his family... | Matron "Edgar has a twin brother, you know.{ / }He was such a sweet boy, always thinking of his family…" | Slattery; "nice" -> "sweet (DarkMage)" |
| 103 | YOUTH: Brother, What's wrong with father? What's all this talk of his successor? Edgar: Are you blind? Look how thin his face has become! | Youth: Edgar, what's wrong with Dad? Why's everyone talking about a successor? Edgar: Are you blind? Haven't you seen how thin his face has become? | Youth "Brother, is there something wrong with Dad? What's all this talk of a successor?" Edgar "Are you blind? Look how thin his face has become!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 104 | YOUTH: ?......What is it? | Youth: ...? ...What do you mean? | Youth "…? …What do you mean?" | Slattery. |
| 105 | YOUTH: Brother! | Youth: Edgar! | Youth "Edgar!" | Slattery. |
| 106 | YOUTH: Tears......?! | Youth: Are you...crying? | Youth "You're…crying…?" | W & S, edited for style. |
| 107 | Edgar's twin brother, who traded the throne for his own freedom... | Edgar's twin brother, who traded the throne for his own freedom... | {/ }{/ } Edgar's twin brother, {/ }{/ } who traded the throne {/ }{/ } for his own freedom… | (W & S) |
| 108 | MATRON: Yes... His name is Sabin. Oh, he looked so like his father! When he ran away, he was a sweet little child. I wonder what he's like now? | High Priestess: Ah, yes...Sabin. I'm sure he's a fine young man by now. He was just a boy when he left--even smaller than his brother. I often wonder where he is now, and what he's doing... | Matron "Ah, yes… Sabin. I'm sure he's a fine young man by now." "He was just a boy when he left-- even smaller than his brother. I wonder what life has made of him…" | Slattery merged w/ DarkMage & reformatted. |
| 109 | CHANCELLOR: The whole business of the succession was so repugnant to Sabin, the King's brother, that...... ......he fled the castle forever. The succession was settled with a coin toss... | Chancellor: The king's brother was so disgusted by the succession that he fled the castle, never looking back. I've heard tell that the entire matter was settled by the flip of a coin... | Chancellor "Sir Sabin found the matter of succession so repugnant that he fled the castle, never looking back." "I understand the whole ordeal was settled with the toss of a coin…" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey & edited for style. |
| 110 | MERCHANT: I can't take money from the King! Edgar: Look, don't you have a family? Just shut up and take it. | Merchant: I can't take money from the king! Edgar: You have a family, don't you? Just be quiet and take it. | Merchant "I can't take money from the king!" Edgar "You've got family to feed, don't you? Just hush up and take it." | Woolsey edited for style, in part w/r/t DarkMage |
| 111 | MERCHANT: Sir Sabin, I can't take your money! Sabin: Take it! Haven't you heard? My brother says I'm a notorious spendthrift! | Merchant: Sir Sabin, I couldn't possibly accept your money! Sabin: You can and you will! I'll never hear the end of it from Edgar if I run around here acting like I own the place! | Merchant "Sir Sabin, I couldn't possibly take your money!" Sabin "You sure can! I'll never hear the end of it from Edgar if I run around acting like I own the place!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery & lightly edited for style. |
| 112 | Edgar: You've been busy down south! Looking for more cities to destroy? TROOPER: That's for us to know! | Edgar: I hear you've been busy down south, taking over a country or three! Just what is the Empire up to? Soldier: That's none of your concern. | Edgar "I hear you've been busy down south, toppling a country or three! Just what is the Empire up to…?" Trooper "That's none of your concern." | Slattery edited for style, in part w/r/t DarkMage ("toppling") |
| 113 | Sir Kefka!? What on earth do... KEFKA: Outta my way! | Sir Kefka!? What in the world brings you-- Kefka: Out of my way! | Soldier "Sir Kefka!? What on earth brings you--" Kefka "Out of my way!" | Slattery merged with Woolsey |
| 114 | Edgar: Well? How do you like my castle? | Edgar: Well? How do you like my castle? | Edgar "Well? How do you like my castle?" | (W & S) |
| 115 | King Edgar! Someone from the Empire to see you! | King Edgar! There's someone from the Empire here to see you, sire! | Soldier "King Edgar! There's…someone from the Empire approaching!" | Slattery; "There's someone" -> "There's...someone", since without any irregularity of tone, Edgar would have little reason to suspect Kefka in particular; "here to see you, sire!" -> "approaching! (DarkMage)", since Kefka has not yet arrived. |
| 116 | Edgar: Probably Kefka! | Edgar: Kefka, no doubt! | Edgar "That'll be Kefka!" | Spooniest. |
| 117 | KEFKA: Phooey! Emperor Gestahl's stupid orders! | Kefka: Phooey! Emperor Gestahl's stupid orders! | Kefka "Phooey! Emperor Gestahl's stupid orders!" | (W & S) |
| 118 | KEFKA: Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of nowhere? These recon jobs are the pits! | Kefka: Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live out in the middle of a stinking desert? These recon jobs are the pits! | Kefka "Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live out in the middle of a stinking desert?" "These recon jobs are the pits!" | Slattery. |
| 119 | KEFKA: Ahem...there's SAND on my boots! | Kefka: Ahem! There's SAND on my boots! | Kefka "Ahem… There's SAND on my boots!" | W & S, reformatted. |
| 120 | SOLDIERS: Yes, Sir! All set, Sir! | Soldiers: All gone, sir! | Trooper "Sir! All clean, sir!" | Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit. |
| 121 | KEFKA: Idiots! | Kefka: How pathetic! | Kefka "{Idiots/How pathetic}!" | Dynamic: Woolsey for Figaro, Slattery for Thamasa. |
| 122 | Edgar: I thought we were allies! What are you doing in my domain? | Edgar: You wouldn't be thinking of invading my kingdom next, would you? We have an alliance... Soldier: An alliance? With this miserable little sandpit? Don't make me laugh! | Edgar "You wouldn't be thinking of invading my kingdom next, would you? We remain allies, after all…" Trooper "Allies? Hah! The Empire, and a puny little country like this…!" | Page 1: Based on Slattery: Edgar is not complaining about a few Imperials showing up, but rather that the Empire at large is poised to invade. "We have an alliance... [Slattery]" -> "We remain allies, after all..." in order to keep the word "allies [Woolsey]" rather than "alliance (FF6j)". // Page 2: Rodimus Primal merged with kWhazit |
| 123 | Edgar: What brings Kefka, humble servant of Emperor Gestahl, into our lowly presence? KEFKA: A girl of no importance recently escaped from us. We heard she found refuge here... | Edgar: What brings Emperor Gestahl's own court mage, Kefka, to my humble castle? Kefka: A girl of no importance recently escaped from us. We heard she found refuge here. | Edgar "What brings Emperor Gestahl's own court mage, Kefka, to my humble abode?" Kefka "A girl of no importance recently escaped from us. We heard she found refuge here…" | Page 1: Slattery; "my humble castle" -> "my humble abode", as there is no specific use of "castle"; still keeping something of Woolsey's "lowly presence". // Page 2: (W) |
| 124 | Edgar: Hmm...this wouldn't have anything to do with this "witch" everyone's been whispering about, would it? KEFKA: Lies! She...merely stole something of minor value. Is she here? | Edgar: This wouldn't have to do with that "witch" everyone's been whispering about, would it? Kefka: Lies! She merely stole something of minor value. Is she here? | Edgar "This wouldn't have to do with a certain 'witch' everyone's been whispering about, would it…?" Kefka "Lies! She merely stole something of minor value. …Is she here?" | Slattery, lightly edited for style. |
| 125 | Edgar: That's a tough one! | Edgar: That's a tough one... | Edgar "That's a tough one…" | Slattery. |
| 126 | Edgar: You see, there're more girls here than grains of sand out there. I can't keep track of 'em all! KEFKA: I'd hate to be you if we find out you're lying... Mwa, ha! | Edgar: There are more girls in here than grains of sand in the desert. A man couldn't possibly keep track of them all! Kefka: Oh, Edgar... You know you only stand to lose by trying to hide her from us! Hee-hee-hee... | Edgar "You see, there are more girls here than grains of sand out there. I can't possibly keep track of them all!" Kefka "Oh, Edgar… You know you only stand to lose by trying to hide her from us! Mwa, ha!" | Page 1: Woolsey slightly expanded w/r/t Slattery. // Page 2 Slattery; "Hee-hee-hee..." -> "Mwa, ha! [Woolsey]"; Early ROSE efforts replaced "Oh, Edgar..." with "How pathetic..." because, while Slattery's addition of a transition is appropriate, Kefka does not use Edgar's name here in FF6j -- but in the long run, Slattery's line is far superior. |
| 127 | KEFKA: I truly hope nothing happens to your precious Figaro...! | Kefka: I truly hope nothing happens to your precious Figaro! | Kefka "I truly hope nothing happens to your precious Figaro…!" | (W & S) |
| 128 | Locke: I'd say that guy's missing a few buttons... Edgar: ... Where's Terra? | Locke: I didn't like the sound of that... Edgar: Where's Terra? | Locke "I'd say that guy's missing a few buttons…" Edgar "Where's Terra?" | Page 1: Woolsey. More interesting than faithful translations, for example "I didn't like the sound of that...[Slattery]" or "I can't stand those guys...[kWhazit]" -- Note: If Slattery is most faithful, then Woolsey skips out on some added ominous tone-setting. No regrets. // Page 2: Slattery. |
| 129 | Edgar: Take her to her room... | Edgar: Take her to her room... | Edgar "Show her to her room…" | W & S; "Take" -> "Show" (DarkMage) |
| 130 | Edgar: I'd love to chat with you, but the Chancellor and I must plan our strategy. Sometimes I hate being a king! If you'll excuse me. | Edgar: I'd love to stay and chat, but the chancellor and I need to do some planning now. Being a king's not all tea and crumpets. If you'll excuse me... | Edgar "I'd love to stay and chat with you, but the chancellor and I need to do some planning now." "Being a king isn't always fun, sadly. If you'll excuse me…" | Page 1: Slattery. Note: "chancellor" is plural in FF6j. Page 2: DarkMage, lightly edited for style (", sadly"). |
| 131 | Locke: Follow me. | Locke: Follow me. | Locke "Follow me." | (W & S) |
| 132 | Locke: Don't you worry 'bout a thing! I'll... Terra: You're Locke, right? Edgar told me about you. Is it true you're a thief? | Locke: Sorry, I didn't mean to drag you around like this without giving you a chance to rest. I'm-- Terra: Locke, right? ...Edgar told me about you. Is it true you're a thief? | Locke "Sorry for putting you through so much before we could even get acquainted. I'm--" Terra "Locke, right? Edgar just mentioned a bit about you. Is it true you're a thief?" | {Note: This caption is almost certainly a holdover from an early draft of the script where Terra does not meet Locke until after Edgar. The result is a glaring continuity error on page 2.} Page 1: Mostly new, with Slattery's structure. "drag you around [Slattery]" -> "putting you through so much" to emphasize Locke directly affecting Terra's state of mind (kWhazit: "...make you feel uneasy"). "without giving you a chance to rest [Slattery]" considered an error, since Terra WAS given a chance to rest after first talking to Edgar; "before we could even get acquainted" used instead: to emphasize that, indeed, Locke has not yet introduced himself to Terra, and that this would be a good time for him to do so. // Page 2: Slattery; "...Edgar told me about you." -> "Edgar just mentioned a bit about you.": Slattery is more literal, but it screams "continuity error!", since we never see Edgar say anything to Terra about Locke. The new rendering instead points to a brief off-screen window of opportunity where Edgar could have said such a thing to Terra: The scene of Kefka's approach, during which Edgar would have been exiting the great hall, potentially accompanying Terra, before handing Terra off to Locke, after which we see Edgar walking outside to meet Kefka. |
| 133 | Locke: That's TREASURE HUNTER! | Locke: I'm a TREASURE HUNTER! | Locke "I'm a TREASURE HUNTER." | Slattery; Exclamation point removed so that Locke isn't completely blowing up, but the caps are retained. Still getting a bit testy! Tone influenced by Lina Darkstar. |
| 134 | Locke: On the surface, Edgar pretends to support the Empire. The truth is, he's collaborating with the Returners, an organization opposed to the Empire. I am his contact with that group... | Locke: On the surface, Edgar pretends to support the Empire. Truth is, he's collaborating with an underground resistance group called the Returners. I serve as their go-between. | Locke "Edgar officially sides with the Empire, but that's only to keep up appearances." "Truth is, he's collaborating with an underground resistance group called the Returners. I serve as their go-between." | Slattery, edited for style. "On the surface"/"pretends" considered a bit too casual for referring to a high-profile binding agreement between two heads of state -> "Officially" used instead, which, like "On the surface", implies that there is more going on than what's on paper. |
| 135 | Locke: The old man you met in Narshe is one of us. Terra: Empire...but I'm a soldier of the Empire...! | Locke: The old man you met in Narshe is one of us, too. Terra: The Empire... But, I'm an Imperial soldier...! | Locke "The old man you met in Narshe is one of us as well." Terra "Empire… I'm an Imperial soldier…" | Page 1: Slattery, lightly edited for style. // Page 2: kWhazit. |
| 136 | Locke: That's not true! They were using you! Things are different now. | Locke: Not anymore. They were using you. That's all! Things are different now. | Locke "Not anymore. They were using you. That's all! Things are different now." | Slattery. |
| 137 | Terra: I don't understand... What should I do? | Terra: It's just... I don't know what I should do. Whenever I try to think, it just makes my head hurt even worse... | Terra "I just…don't understand. What am I supposed to do? The more I think about it, the more my head hurts…" | Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit & Slattery. |
| 138 | Locke: I can't tell you what to do. You don't have to decide right now. You'll soon find your way... | Locke: All that matters is that you make your own decisions from now on. You don't have to think too hard right now. You'll know what you want to do when the time comes. | Locke "The important thing is that you're free to make your own decisions from now on." "You don't have to think too hard right now. You'll find your way soon enough." | Slattery, edited. "All that matters is that you" -> "The important thing is that you're free to": Locke is not giving direction to Terra, or turning her focus away from her discomfort, but rather putting a positive spin on her predicament in order to offer reassurance. In FF6j Locke is saying something like "It [your discomfort] just goes to show that you have your own free will from now on." // Page 2: Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit |
| 139 | Terra: But how will I know which way is right... | Terra: But how will I know which choice is right...? | Terra "My own decisions…" | New; Based on Slattery #138 ("your own decisions"). In FF6j Terra contemplates Locke's words, repeating them in the first person ("My own free will...") |
| 140 | Edgar: ...? What the...?! | Edgar: ...? What in the-- | Edgar "…?" Edgar "What in the…" | Slattery, reformatted. |
| 141 | Edgar: What's happening? SOLDIER: It's the Empire! It's Kefka! | Edgar: What's going on? Soldier: It's the Empire! Kefka, he-- | Edgar "What's going on!?" Soldier "It's the Empire! Kefka, he…!" | Slattery. |
| 142 | Edgar: What are you doing? | Edgar: What do you think you're doing!? | Edgar "What do you think you're doing!?" | Slattery. |
| 143 | KEFKA: Bring me the girl. Now! Edgar: I don't know what you're talking about! KEFKA: Then... welcome to my barbecue!! Uwa ha ha ha! | Kefka: Bring me the girl. Now! Edgar: I have no idea what you're talking about! Kefka: Oh? Then...enjoy the barbecue! Hee-hee-hee! | Kefka "Bring me the girl. Now!" Edgar "I told you, I have no idea who you're talking about!" Kefka "Oh? Then… welcome to my barbecue!! Uwa, ha, ha!" | Page 1: (W & S) // Page 2: W & S merged w/ kWhazit. // Page 3: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 144 | FIRE!!! | The castle's on fire! | Soldier "FIRE!!!" | (W) |
| 145 | Fire! Fire! Heh, heh heh... | Fire! Fire! Heh-heh-heh... | Trooper "'Fire! Fire!' Heh, heh, heh…" | Woolsey, reformatted. |
| 146 | Edgar: Get ready...! SOLDIER: Yes, Sir! | Edgar: Get her ready... Soldier: Yes, sire! | Edgar "Get everything ready…" Soldier "Yes, sir!" | Spooniest; Woolsey's exclamation point removed to match FF6j's tone. |
| 147 | KEFKA: Changed your mind...? | Kefka: Had a change of heart? | Kefka "Had a change of heart…?" | Slattery; lightly edited to match Woolsey's tone. |
| 148 | Edgar: I guess I have no choice... | Edgar: It seems I have no choice... | Edgar "It seems I have no choice…" | Slattery. |
| 149 | Edgar: Or maybe I do! | Edgar: ...Or perhaps I do! | Edgar "…Or perhaps I do!" | Slattery. |
| 150 | KEFKA: Ackk! Shameful that a king should flee, leaving his people behind! How utterly delightful! | Kefka: Oh, my! The brave and noble king abandons his people to save his own skin! How utterly delightful! Hee-hee-hee! | Kefka "Oh, my! The brave and noble king abandons his people to save his own skin!" "How utterly delightful! Hee-hee-hee!" | Slattery. Note: Woolsey's use of "shameful" right before "delightful" is actually pretty great here, and perhaps warrants reconsideration. |
| 151 | Edgar: Jump! | Edgar: Jump! | Edgar "Jump!" | (W & S) |
| 152 | Locke: Yahoooo! | Locke: Yahoo! | Locke "Yahoooo!" | (W) |
| 153 | Edgar: OK! Dive now!!! | Edgar: All right! Sink her into the sand! | Edgar "All right! Dive!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery |
| 154 | SOLDIER: Figaro Submerge Mode engaged! | Soldier: Figaro Dive Mode engaged! | Soldier "Figaro Submerge Mode engaged!" | (W). Note: Speculation: Slattery avoids "Submerge" here, and uses "Dive" instead, as though the word "Submerge" ought only be used with reference to liquid. |
| 155 | CHANCELLOR: No one can touch the people of Figaro! | Chancellor: Witness the glory of Figaro! | Chancellor "Now! Behold Figaro as she dives into the great golden ocean! Enjoy your front-row seats!!" | kWhazit. |
| 156 | Edgar: Bravo, Figaro!!! | Edgar: Bravo, Figaro! | Edgar "Bravo, Figaro!" | Slattery. |
| 157 | KEFKA: Go!! GET THEM! | Kefka: Go! KILL THEM!!! | Kefka "Go! KILL THEM!!" | Slattery. |
| 158 | KEFKA: Son of a submariner! They'll pay for this... | Kefka: Son of a sandworm! You'll pay for this! | Kefka "Son of a submariner! You'll pay for this!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 159 | Locke: This is great! | Locke: That was great! | Locke "This is great!" | (W). Note: Riding on a chocobo, wind blowing in everyone's hair, still in the process of ditching the empire -- Locke is definitely speaking in the present tense. |
| 160 | Terra: Was that a bad person? I... I'm scared... | Terra: Were those bad people? I...I'm scared... | Terra "Were those the bad guys? I… I'm getting scared…" | Page 1: kWhazit, edited for continuity. In FF6j, "Where those bad people [Slattery]" implies Terra has not already learned about THE "bad people", the Empire, from Locke. One may speculate this is Terra having a memory lapse, but it is more likely a continuity error (See #162). "Were those the bad guys?" is used instead. FF6j's "I'm scared" -> "I'm getting scared": This feeling must be actively developing, because Terra was just kicking the bad guys' butts in good spirits during the previous battle scene. |
| 161 | Edgar: Terra, there's someone I'd like you to meet...! | Edgar: Terra, there's someone we'd like you to meet... | Edgar "Terra, there's someone we'd like you to meet…" | Slattery. |
| 162 | Locke: We're members of the Returners. Edgar: Our mentor, Banon, would certainly like to meet you. "Magic" is going to be the key to winning this war. | Locke: Like I told you before, we're members of the Returners... Edgar: Would you be willing to meet our leader? Magic is going to be the key to winning this war. | Locke "Like I told you before, we're members of this underground organization--the Returners." Edgar "Would you be willing to meet Banon, our leader? Sorcery is going to be the key to winning this war." | Slattery merged w/ kWhazit. For continuity, uses Slattery's "Like I told you before," where no such phrase exists in FF6j. In FF6j, this line forgets that Locke has already told Terra about the Returners (#134). In fact, this whole scene seems to be unaware of Locke's previous conversation with Terra (see #160). |
| 163 | Terra: "Magic"... | Terra: Magic... | Terra "Sorcery…" | kWhazit. |
| 164 | Edgar: Terra has magical powers. That Esper seemed to...react to her. Can there be some connection? Terra: I haven't the foggiest! It just seems natural to me that I have the use of this power... | Edgar: That esper reacted to your magical powers. There's got to be a relationship... Terra: I don't know any more than you do. These powers just come naturally to me. | Edgar "You have sorcerous powers, Terra. And as we've gathered, that Esper reacted to them." "Can there be some connection…?" Terra "I haven't the slightest idea! These powers just come naturally to me…" | Woolsey, updated to use the second person (Slattery & kWhazit); "magical" -> "sorcerous" (kWhazit); Added "As we've gathered", since Edgar is speaking on, at best, third-hand information. |
| 165 | Edgar: But no HUMAN is born with the powers you seem to have, and... | Edgar: But no human is born with the powers you have! | Edgar "But no human is born with the powers you have!" | Slattery. |
| 166 | Edgar: I apologize. Terra: What should I do...? Edgar: I'm sure the Empire is going to come after you... If they get their hands on you again, the world's finished... Terra, you want to understand your own powers, right? | Edgar: Forgive me. Terra: ...What should I do? Edgar: The Empire will be coming after us. They want your powers for their own. And if they get them, the world is done for... Terra, you want to understand your own powers, don't you? | Edgar "Forgive me." Terra "…What should I do?" Edgar "The Empire will be coming after us. They want control over your power and its secrets." "If they get their hands on you again, then…the world's finished." "Terra, you want to know the truth about your own powers, don't you?" | Page 1 & 2: Slattery. // Page 3: +"and its secrets" (kWhazit). // Page 4: Woolsey, edited for tone. Note: Woolsey changed the line from Terra's power falling into the Empire's hands to Terra herself falling back into the Empire's hands. // Page 5: Slattery; "understand" -> "know the truth about" (kWhazit) in order to fit with edits to #167. |
| 167 | Edgar: Then I think we need to consult with Banon. Terra: ...... | Edgar: Then I think you should meet with Banon. He may be able to help you find out more about why you have them.

The one to whom the esper responded. Terra: Esper...? Edgar: It seems the Empire had complete control over her. | Banon "So, this is the girl… the one to whom the Esper responded." Terra "Esper…?"

| 279 | BANON: Stay where you are! | Banon: Hiding from the truth won't change it! | Banon "There'll be no running from it!" | New; Somewhat maintains the ambiguity of FF6j lit. "No fleeing!" -- (Is Banon speaking literally, or figuratively? [Issue raised by Lina Darkstar]). Woolsey makes it explicitly literal, Slattery makes it explicitly figurative. |

| 281 | BANON: Perhaps you've heard this story? Once, when people were pure and innocent, there was a box they were told never to open. But one man went and opened it anyway. He unleashed all the evils of the world: envy... greed... pride... violence... control... All that was left in the box was a single ray of light: Hope. | Banon: Perhaps you've heard this story before? Once, when people were still pure and innocent, there was a box they were told never to open... But someone went and opened it anyway, unleashing all the evils of the world... Pride...envy...greed...wrath... gluttony... The only thing that remained in the box was a single ray of light: hope. | Banon "Perhaps you've heard a story like this before…?" "Once, when mankind was still pure and innocent, there was a box that everyone was forbidden to open." "But one person went and opened it anyway, unleashing all the evils we see in the world: Envy… Greed… Pride… Wrath… Coercion…" "The only thing that remained in the box was a single ray of light: Hope." | Slattery, edited for style; Uses Woolsey as starting point for the 5 vices, rather than Slattery's novel use of the 7 deadly sins; "violence" -> "wrath", "control" -> "coercion". |

| 336 | BANON: We all know that the Empire is using Magitek power in battle. The point is, how has the Emperor created it? | Banon: We all know that the Gestahlian Empire is using its Magitek power to wage war. The question is, where did they get that power? | Banon "As we all know, the Empire has been using its Magitek power to wage war." "The question is, how did Gestahl obtain this power?" | kWhazit merged w/ Slattery. Using "Magitek" for "sorcerous / of sorcery". |
| 337 | Edgar: I had Locke look into the rumor that the Empire is forcing the world's finest scholars to study Espers. | Edgar: I had Locke dig around for information. It seems the Empire has been gathering scholars from around the world to study espers. | Edgar "I had Locke dig around for information." "It seems the Empire has been gathering scholars from around the world to study Espers." | Slattery, reformatted. |
| 338 | Locke: All the trouble in Narshe is over an Esper, too... | Locke: Narshe's esper was also the reason for the Imperial assault there. | Locke "The trouble in Narshe was over an Esper, too…" | Woolsey, "is" -> "was" for clarity. |
| 339 | BANON: Right... | Banon: Well then... | Banon "Right…" | (W) |
| 340 | Terra: You mean there's some connection between Espers and Magitek? BANON: I can only recall one thing linking Espers with Magitek power... | Terra: Are you saying there's some kind of connection between espers and Magitek? Banon: Espers and Magitek... Only one possible link comes to mind. | Terra "Are you saying there's a connection between Espers and Magitek?" Banon "Espers, and a sorcerous power like Magitek… Only one possible link comes to mind." | Page 1: Slattery, edited for brevity. // Page 2: Slattery; Added clarification "Magitek" -> "a sorcerous power like Magitek". This is where the revised script makes explicit the pseudo-equivalence between "Magitek" and "sorcerous power" (See #87); a necessary addition somewhere early in the script, also needed here in particular since this is the point at which the conversation topic turns from the Empire to the War of the Magi. |
| 341 | Edgar: You don't mean... BANON: Indeed! The ancient War of the Magi... | Edgar: You don't mean... Banon: The War of the Magi. | Edgar "You don't mean…" Banon "Indeed! The War of the Magi." | Woolsey; removed "ancient" w/r/t Slattery, kWhazit. |
| 342 | No! "It can't be!" | No! "That's impossible...!" | Returners "No!" "That's impossible!" | Slattery. |
| 343 | Locke: My Grandma used to tell me stories about magical machines... Could they have been true? | Locke: My grandma used to tell me bedtime stories about magical machines... ...Those stories were true? | Locke "So, those bedtime stories my grandma would tell me… they had some truth to them after all…?" | kWhazit, edited for style. Note: Woolsey and Slattery's treatment here considered to make Locke sound too childlike. |
| 344 | Edgar: Could that ancient tragedy be playing out once again... BANON: It's just speculation... But historical studies have provided a number of conflicting and frightening theories... According to one theory, humans and machines were imbued with powers drained from Espers... | Edgar: You're saying we're on the verge of a second War of the Magi? Banon: It's only a guess. The war took place a thousand years ago, and every historian has a different theory. But one theory says that energy drained from espers was used to power machines... ...and that ordinary humans were also infused with that same energy. | Edgar "You're saying the tragedy of that war is going to play out again?" Banon "It's only a guess. This is something that took place a thousand years ago, after all." "Every historian seems to have a different theory on the matter…" "But one theory suggests that human combatants were imbued with supernatural energy drained from Espers…" | Page 1: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. // Page 2: kWhazit, rephrased partially w/r/t Slattery; "you realize" (kWhazit) -> "after all". // Page 3: Part of a Slattery sentence, padded out for pacing. // Page 4: DarkMage, significantly rephrased. Novel reference to machinery (from Woolsey/Slattery) removed -- The clarfication added in #340 intends to solve the problem that motivated Woolsey's innovation; "energy" -> "supernatural energy" for clarity and style. |
| 345 | Terra: That could explain Magitek power... | Terra: So that's what Magitek power is... | Terra "And that's what sorcerous power is…" | kWhazit merged with Slattery; uses the general term "sorcerous power" rather than "Magitek power", in order not to diminish Terra's apparent self-association with the means described in #344 (as noted by Lina Darkstar). [Note: So far in the script, "Magitek" may be reasonably assumed only to refer to mechanical applications; "Magitek Knight" has not yet appeared.] So, this scene establishes the following: Magitek is the Empire's name for its application of sorcerous power; Sorcerous power, a tangible form of energy, may occur naturally in Espers; The Empire may be obtaining its sorcerous power by draining it from Espers, and this is how Terra believes she gained her own abilities. |
| 346 | Edgar: We can only fight Magitek enemies with Magitek weapons... | Edgar: If we're going to fight Magitek enemies, we need Magitek weapons of our own. Banon: No! That would bring about another War of the Magi! Edgar: Then what do you propose? Banon: I was wondering if we might not be able to have a chat with an esper... Edgar: ...With an esper!? | Edgar "If we're going to fight Magitek enemies, we need to obtain sorcerous weapons of our own…" Banon "No! That's precisely the kind of mistake which brought about the War of the Magi in the first place!" Edgar "Then what do you propose?" Banon "We could try opening a dialogue with the Espers." Locke "The Espers!?" | Page 1: Slattery, edited w/r/t/ kWhazit. Another opportunity taken to demonstrate "Magitek" as a speical name for "sorcerous" power. (See #87) // Page 2: New edit paraphrased from kWhazit, a bit more literal than Slattery. // Page 3: Slattery. // Page 4: DarkMage, likely based on Lina Darkstar. Lina Darkstar makes Espers plural, W & S is singular. Plural is nice because it lends a little more fuel for Locke's shocked reaction. I see no problem with Banon viewing the frozen Esper as a potential representative of the lost Espers as a collective. // Page 5: DarkMage, sans novelty. Slattery gives this line to Edgar, should be Locke. |
| 347 | BANON: It's risky, but if we have Terra...speak with that Esper, it might just wake up... Edgar: I wonder if that's wise...? | Banon: It's risky, but that esper reacted to Terra before... If we could get it to react to her again, we just might be able to wake it up. Edgar: Do you really think that would work...? | Banon "It's risky, but if we have Terra{… / …}'speak' with that Esper again,{ / }it might just wake up." Edgar "Do you really think that would work…?" | Page 1: Woolsey, lightly edited to bring the meaning more in line with kWhazit. // Page 2: Slattery. |
| 348 | BANON: Who can say? Regardless, we need Terra's help. | Banon: I can't say for sure, but I believe it's our best shot... Of course, we can't do anything without Terra's help. | Banon "I can't tell you anything for sure. Regardless, we need Terra's cooperation…" | New edit, mostly literal, with elements taken from Woolsey, kWhazit, and Slattery |
| 349 | Locke: Terra... | Locke: Terra... | Locke "Terra…?" | Woosely; question mark added after ellipsis to make clear that Locke is nudging Terra for a response, and not just being a sap. (See FF6j, which does not use an ellipsis.) |
| 350 | Terra: I'll do it! Sabin: What nonsense! You sound as if you're enjoying this! | Terra: I'll do it. Sabin: I'm not entirely sure I understand the plan...but what the hey!

Sabin "This is all a bit over my head, but… sounds like we're in for some fun!" | Page 1: kWhazit. // Page 2: Lina Darkstar, edited for style; kWhazit used as reference.
