SOLDIER B: Agreed. | Soldier A: Shhh! I just told you to keep it down! How many times are you gonna make me say it? Soldier A: You've gotta be more careful! General Leo may be a decent man, but Kefka...that guy's twisted! Soldier B: Tell me about it... | Soldier A "Shhhh!! I just told you to keep it down! How many times are you gonna make me say it?"

| 484 | SOLDIER: Rogue!!! | Soldier: Swine! | Soldier "Lowlife!!" | New. "Rogue" (Woolsey) said by a soldier is considered ambiguous. "Swine" (Slattery) considered too archaic. |

There are an awful lot of soldiers here... | <Party Leader> "{What the…?/This is the Imperial camp…} {What are all these troops doing here…!?/And it's crawling with soldiers…}" | Mostly new; "an Imperial [Woolsey, Slattery]" -> "the Imperial", since this line is meant for the case where Sabin has met Shadow, and thus has already heard about the camp. Adaptive Dialog added for the case where the party has met Shadow, but Sabin has not, using caption #481 for alt text. |

Soldier B: Oh, you mean-- Soldier A: Shhh! Keep your voice down! If Kefka catches us, we're toast! | Soldier A "Hey, have you heard?" Soldier B "Oh, you mean--" Soldier A "Shhh! Keep your voice down. If Kefka catches us, we're toast!" | Slattery, lightly repunctuated for tone. |
| 487 | SOLDIER A: If he drives General Leo out of our battalion, he'll probably become the next general! SOLDIER B: Don't make me laugh! If someone like him becomes a general, I'll go home! | Soldier A: They say Kefka's plotting to drive away General Leo so he can take over his position as general... Soldier B: Don't even joke about something like that. If that freak becomes our general, I'll quit! | Soldier A "They say Kefka's plotting to drive out General Leo so he can take his place as general…" Soldier B "Don't even joke about something like that. If that freak becomes our general, I'll desert!" | Slattery, edited for simplicity. |

Like we're gonna listen to you, you pompous little... Soldier B: What's wrong with that guy, anyway? It's like General Leo got all the good qualities a man could have, and Kefka got stuck with the rest... | Soldier B "Hmph! Like hell we're gonna listen to you, you pompous little…" Soldier B "What's the matter with that guy, anyway? If it were up to me, he'd be licking General Leo's boots clean!" | Page 1: Slattery merged w/ kWhazit. // Page 2: 1st sentence - Slattery lightly edited for style. 2nd sentence - New; attempt to localize FF6j insult / figure of speech lit.

We're ready to storm the castle as soon as you give the order... Leo: Patience! If we attack now, there will be too many unnecessary casualties. | Soldiers "General, we're ready to storm the castle.

| 496 | LEO: And your family lives there? Fall in battle, and I'll have to deliver the bad news... What shall I say to them? You have a life to go back to someday. Don't throw it all away for nothing. Emperor Gestahl wouldn't want that. | Leo: You would have me go there and deliver the news of your passing to your family? What would I say when I handed them your sword? How could I even look at them? You're a human being before you're a soldier. Don't be so eager to throw away your life. Emperor Gestahl wouldn't want you to die for nothing. | Leo "And you have family living there, do you not?" "What would you have me say to them, as I handed them your sword? How could I even look at them?" "You're a human being before you're a soldier. Don't be so eager to throw away your life.

Kefka: We needn't show mercy to those who side with the Returners. ...Which is good, because I never seem to have any of the stuff. | Leo "Nothing dirty, Kefka!

"…Which is good, because I never seem to have any of the stuff…" | Page 1: Slattery; "Try not to" -> "Don't" to avoid phrase duplication w/r/t #515.

| 545 | Cyan: Elayne! Elayne! Wake up! | Cyan: Elayne! Do not leave me, Elayne! | Cyan "Elayne! Elayne, come back to me!" | New; close to literal "Be strong [kWhazit]"/"Pull yourself together", but rendered to better fit the scene. Other translations don't seem to capture very well the fact that Elayne is found already gravely unconscious from the poisoning, almost certainly dead, and Cyan is calling for her to come to. Woolsey's rendering isn't wrong per se, but it does give an impression of having missed something of the obvious gravity of Elayne's condition. |
| 546 | Cyan: This... This...can't be happening! | Cyan: This... This is unpardonable... | Cyan "This… This is too evil…" | New. kWhazit ("Can such... Can such a thing be allowed...?") keeps FF6j's structure, but Slattery's word choice ("This is...unpardonable") is closer to literal; neither "allowed" nor "(un)pardonable" feel credible here on a raw emotional level. "(Un)forgivable" would be closer; What's important is Cyan expressing that this evil is great enough to make even the possibility of atonement unimaginable. The new edit forgoes mentioning forgiveness explicitly in order to focus in on the extremity of the evil -- which is really what kWhazit/FF6j "...such a thing..." is capturing as well. Note: line similar to Woolsey's "can't be happening" used via Slattery in #560. "Unforgivable" comes back explicitly in #561. |
| 547 | Cyan: ! Owain... NOT YOU TOO! Son...you can't BOTH leave me! | Cyan: ...! Owain!!! | Cyan "…! Owain!!" | Slattery; removed extra exclamation point w/r/t FF6j |

| 553 | Cyan: D... Dear me... | Cyan: No... No...! | Cyan "N… no…" | Slattery, edited for reduced coherence w/r/t kWhazit & Woolsey. "D... Dear me [Woolsey]", while currently considered still too coherent for the extreme shock that Cyan is experiencing, warrants reconsideration. It's an absolutely nauseating rendering, in a good way. |

| 556 | Cyan: Right! The King's room is near! | Cyan: Yes! The throne room is just ahead! | Cyan "Yes! The throne room is just ahead!" | Slattery. |
| 557 | Cyan: Highness... | Cyan: Excellency... | Cyan "…Majesty…" | New. "Highness [Woolsey]"/"Excellency [Slattery]" considered less appropriate for a monarch -> "Majesty" |
| 558 | Cyan: There have to be some survivors in the castle! DOMA SENTRY: Let's split up... | Cyan: There may still be survivors in the castle! Doman Sentry: Let's split up and search... | Cyan "There may still be survivors in the castle!" Doman Sentry "Let's split up and search…" | Slattery. |
| 559 | Cyan: Here, too... | Cyan: Here, too... | Cyan "Here, too…" | (W & S) |
| 560 | Cyan: I...impossible! Idiotic!!! | Cyan: This is not possible... This cannot be happening! | Cyan "This can't be happening… This was not a possibility!" | First sentence adapted from Slattery, or Woolsey in #546; Second sentence New; similar to Slattery "This is not possible...", edited to better match the meaning and intensity of Woolsey ("Idiotic!") and FF6j (lit. "This is stupid!", a difficult-to-translate expression for disbelief towards an outrageous situation). |
| 561 | We can't forgive this! The Empire must pay! | Cyan: I will not forgive them...! The Empire must pay for this! | Cyan "I'll never forgive them… Never! Ye unforgivable bastards! THE EMPIRE SHALL PAY!" | New. Elements of Slattery/Woolsey, both considered to miss the mark in terms of passion; rhythm informed by kWhazit/FF6j; intensity informed by Lina Darkstar; all-caps sentence influenced by Spooniest. Wording of final sentence matches Rodimus Primal. |
| 562 | TROOPER: This is off limits. | Soldier: This area's off-limits. | Soldier "This area is off-limits." | Slattery; "area's" -> "area is" for decreased friendliness |
| 563 | WARRIOR: I am Cyan, retainer to King Doma! | Cyan: I am Cyan, retainer to the king of Doma! | Cyan "I am Cyan, retainer to the king of Doma!" | Slattery. |
| 564 | Cyan: Ohhh! This is too much! | Cyan: Grrr! There will be no mercy for thee! | Cyan "Rrraagh! There'll be no mercy for thee!" | Slattery; "Grrr!" -> "Rrraagh!" influenced by Lina Darkstar/kWhazit/Spooniest; "There will" -> "There'll" to reduce formality & increase passion |
| 565 | Cyan: Urgh!!! Who released this poison? | Cyan: Gaaah! Who poisoned the river!? | Cyan "Rrraagh! Which of you spilt the poison!?" | First sentence "Rrraagh!" see #564; Second sentence kWhazit repunctuated w/r/t Slattery; "ye" -> "you" since "Which of___...?" should take the oblique case (i.e. Which of them...?), and the archaic second person plural oblique personal pronoun is apparently "you" exclusively. Confirmed basis found in 17th century publications (Which of you doth...) |
| 566 | SOLDIER: The enemy! Get ready, everyone! | Soldier: Enemy!!! All men, to your positions! | Soldier "Enemy!! All men, to your positions!" | Slattery; one of the two extra exclamation points removed w/r/t Woolsey/kWhazit/FF6j |
| 567 | Sabin: That guy's a sitting duck! Gotta help him, fast! | Sabin: That guy's a goner on his own! Gotta help him...and fast! | Sabin "That guy's a goner on his own! {G/We've g}otta help him, fast!" | First sentence Slattery; Second sentence Woolsey. Alt text "Gotta" -> "We've gotta" via Adaptive Dialog if M.C. Shadow (Sabin still speaker). |
| 568 | Sabin: Uwaaa! It's that poison! This isn't gonna be easy... | Sabin: Whoa! There's still poison all over the place! Going through here would be suicide! | Sabin "Whoa!" "There's still poison all over the place! Going through here would be suicide!" | Slattery. |
| 569 | Sabin: May I give you a hand?! | Sabin: Let me give you a hand! | Sabin "Let {me/us} give you a hand!" | Slattery; "me" -> "us" via Adaptive Dialog if M.C. Shadow (Sabin still speaker). |
| 570 | Cyan: Thank you... whomever you are. | Cyan: I know not thy name or allegiance, but I welcome thy aid! | Cyan "I know not {thy/your} name{/s} or allegiance{/s}, but I welcome {thy/your} aid! | Slattery; Adaptive Dialog makes second person plural if M.C. Shadow. |
| 571 | Sabin: Let me have at it! | Sabin: These ones next!? | Sabin "{Who's next!? Let me at 'em!/These ones next!?}" | Spooniest (reworded from Woolsey); "Lemme" -> "Let me [Woolsey]"; added question "Who's next!?" to the beginning, influenced by more accurate Slattery/kWhazit/FF6j; Adaptive Dialog if M.C. Shadow- changes line to Slattery |
| 572 | Cyan: What a mess!! Be careful, Sir!! | Cyan: Grrr! They are tougher than they would appear! | Cyan "Rrraagh! They are tougher than they would appear{/, sire}!" | Slattery; "Grrr!" -> "Rrraagh!" (see #564); added "Sir [Woolsey]" -> "sire". |
| 573 | Look...we're gonna have to do this together! | Sabin: Look, I think we're gonna have to do this together! | Sabin "Look… I think we're gonna have to finish this together!" | Slattery merged w/ Woolsey; "do" -> "finish [Woolsey unused #575]", since Cyan & Sabin have already been 'doing this together' for two battles so far. The line may have intended "this" to refer to the pending battle only, but the ambiguity makes it easily come across as though Cyan has been obstinately refusing Sabin's help to that point. |
| 574 | Cyan: The thought had occurred to me as well! | Cyan: The thought had occurred to me as well! | Cyan "The thought had occurred to me as well!" | Slattery. |
| 575 | Sabin: I'm Sabin, from Figaro. I'll explain more later. First, let's finish this! | Sabin: I'm Sabin, from the kingdom of Figaro. We can talk more later. Let's get out of here! | ~~~ Sabin "I'm Sabin, from the kingdom of Figaro. We can talk more later. Let's get out of here!" | (unused) Slattery. |
| 576 | Cyan: Thank you, kind sir! | Cyan: I am in thy debt! | Cyan "I am truly in thy debt, sire!" | Slattery; inserted "truly" w/r/t kWhazit "verily"; added "sire" w/r/t Woolsey "kind sir". Using "sire" early as much as possible in order to adequately prep for #597. |
| 577 | Cyan: Eeoooa! Be you friend or enemy?! | Cyan: Grrr! Art thou an enemy as well!? | Cyan "Rrraagh! Art thou friend or foe!?" | Woolsey; "Eeoooa" -> "Rrraagh" (see #564); "Be you" -> "Art thou [Slattery]"; "enemy" -> "foe [Spooniest]"; reformatted. |
| 578 | Sabin: Ouuuch! ...didn't MEAN to step in there... | Sabin: Ouch! Probably shouldn't have gotten in the middle of that... | <Party Leader> "{Ouuuch! …Didn't MEAN to step in there/Argh! …Probably shouldn't get in the middle of that}…" | Woolsey; Dynamic Dialog alt line for M.C. Shadow: Slattery, lightly edited for style. |
| 579 | Sabin: ! | Sabin: !!! | Sabin "!!" | Slattery; removed one extra exclamation point w/r/t Woolsey |
| 580 | Sabin: Allow me to thank you! I am Sabin, from Figaro. Now, let's scram! | Sabin: No need for thanks! I'm Sabin, from the kingdom of Figaro. We should get out of here! | Sabin "No need to thank me. I'm Sabin, of Figaro. Now, let's get out of here!" | First & second sentence Darkmage; Third sentence Woolsey merged w/ Slattery |
| 581 | Cyan: But what of my home, my family...my friends? Sabin: Look... If we stick around any longer we'll have a regiment of troops down our throats. | Cyan: But I must avenge my family and my countrymen...! Sabin: If we stick around any longer, we'll have an entire regiment down our throats! | Cyan "But I must avenge my family… my countrymen…!" Sabin "Look… If we stick around any longer, we'll have an entire regiment down our throats!" | Page 1: Slattery merged w/ kWhazit. // Page 2: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 582 | Cyan: Sir Sabin!! It is I who is in your debt! | Cyan: Sir Sabin! It appears to be in reverse! | Cyan "Sir Sabin!! It's g-going the wro-ong w-way!!" | Spooniest; reworded to be closer to literal (kWhazit, Slattery). |
| 583 | Sabin: Forget it. Now, come on! | Sabin: Yeah, yeah... Come on! | Sabin "Yeah, yeah… Come on!" | Slattery. |
| 584 | Cyan: Aaahhh! We can't stop now! | Cyan: Aaahhh! I cannot stop this monstrosity!!! | Cyan "Aaahhh! Now it won't stop!" | Woolsey, reworded for more literal meaning w/r/t kWhazit. Wordy retranslations (Slattery "...this monstrosity!") seem to detract from the humor of Cyan plowing through a bunch of soldiers. |
| 585 | Sabin: Then let's just bust through! | Sabin: Okay, let's bust our way out of here! | Sabin "Okay, we're gonna bust our way out of here!" | Slattery, "let's" -> "we're gonna" for style. |
| 586 | End of the line! | Hold it right there! | End of the line! | (W) |
| 587 | There's nowhere to run! | Here they come! Stop them! | Here they come! Stop them!! | Slattery. |
| 588 | Who said anything about running?! | Did you really think you'd get away? | Did you really think you'd get away? | Slattery. |
| 589 | Sabin: Can't believe we've made it this far... Say, how do we get to Narshe from here? Cyan: Narshe, eh? Only one route, through the forest to the south. | Sabin: Okay, I think we should be safe now! So, how do I get to Narshe from here? Cyan: Narshe? I believe the only route passes through the forest to the south, but-- | Sabin "Whew… I think we're finally out of the woods now." "So, how do we get to Narshe from here?" Cyan "Narshe? I believe the only route passeth through the forest to the south, but--" | Page 1: New; common figure of speech which, when interpreted, has a meaning slightly closer to literal (w/r/t Mato & kWhazit) than Slattery. (When the ironic pun was realized, it instantly blew away about four other candidates for the line.) Slattery's opening "Okay" -> "Whew" to avoid repetition w/ #585. There is a slight chance this line was actually meant to explain why Cyan joined Sabin permanently, and if so, Lina Darkstar was the only one to partially pick up on that. The next page uses the first person plural (same as Woolsey) to help make up for it if that meaning was erroneously missed. // Page 2: Woolsey; "Say," -> "So, [Slattery]". // Page 3: Slattery; "passes" -> "passeth". |
| 590 | Sabin: All right! It's decided. Let's get going! | Sabin: All right! If we're going into the woods, I guess we won't be needing these hunks of scrap metal anymore. Let's get going! | Sabin "All right, it's decided! No more need for this junk, then. Let's go!" | Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit; "garbage" -> "junk [DarkMage]" |
| 591 | Sabin: Nothing but poison this way! | Sabin: There's nothing but poison that way! | Sabin "Nothing but poison this way!" | (W) |
| 592 | SOLDIER: Got 'em! Over here! | Soldier: There they are! This way! | Soldier "There they are! This way!" | Slattery. |
| 593 | Sabin: Hoo, boy... Sabin: I have a great idea... Come over here. | Sabin: Hoo, boy... Sabin: I have an idea... Follow me. | Sabin "Hoo, boy…" Sabin "I have an idea. Follow me!" | Slattery repunctuated w/r/t kWhazit. |
| 594 | Cyan: Sir Sabin! What on earth are these? | Cyan: Sir Sabin! What manner of armored beasts might these be? | Cyan "Sir Sabin! What manner of armored beasts are these, sire?" | Slattery; "might these be" -> "are these [Woolsey]"; added ", sire" to help prep for #597. |
| 595 | Sabin: I'll explain later! Relax. Just climb in! | Sabin: I'll explain later! Just climb in! | Sabin "I'll explain later! Just climb in!" | Slattery. |
| 596 | Cyan: Sir Sabin! How might these abominations be manipulated? | Cyan: Sir Sabin! How does one manipulate these abominations? | Cyan "Sir Sabin! How does one manipulate these abominations, sire?" | Slattery; added ", sire" to help prep for #597. |
| 597 | Sabin: I'm getting sick of this! Thou art such a pain in the...! Confound it all! I'm starting to talk like you! Sabin: Now listen! Just use those levers located by your hands. | Sabin: Oh, for...! Thou art getting to be quite a pain in the-- Great, now I'm even starting to talk like you! Sabin: Listen! See that lever? The one right by your hand? Push it down. | Sabin "Oh, for…! Sire, you are such a pain in the--" Sabin "Great, I'm already starting to talk like thee… …I mean YOU! Dammit!" Sabin "Now listen! See that lever? The one right by your hand? Push it down." | Page 1: First sentence Slattery; Second sentence Woolsey, edited to use "Sire" as Sabin's initial slip-up rather than "Thou art". Neither is particularly believeable; however, the more syllables are involved, and the further one has to slip from modern English to get there, the harder it is to suspend one's disbelief for the sake of the joke. // Page 2: Slattery; "you!" -> "thee... No, YOU! Dammit! [novel]" Sometimes the best fruit is hanging so low, it would be a crime not to pick it. Now that the baseline gag is established, it can be repeated in exaggerated fashion for the real comedic payoff. Partial justification for the extension is also found in the fact that Slattery's exasperation is subdued ("Great, ...") while the original FF6j demands an exclamation ("Confound it all! [Woolsey]" / "Oh crap! [kWhazit]"). |

| 639 | Stay clear of the engine room. It's dangerous. | Keep away from the engine room. It's dangerous. | Keep away from the engine room. It's dangerous. | Slattery. |
| 640 | We're almost to Crescent Island. | We're almost to Crescent Island. | We're almost to Greater Delta Island. | Woolsey/Slattery; "Crescent Island" -> "Greater Delta Island" (lit. "Greater Triangle Island [kWhazit]"). "Delta" is more literal as a shape than "Crescent". "Greater" implies the existence of a "Lesser", a hint pointing to the small triangular island accessible later on (as noted by Lina Darkstar). |

(Sabin/Cyan/Shadow/Ghost) |
| 652 | Sabin: Food! Food! Bring me everything ya got! | Sabin: Food! Food! Bring me everything you've got! | Sabin "Food! Food! Bring me everything ya got!" | (W) |
| 653 | Sabin: Worried? Can't wage war on an empty stomach! | Sabin: What are you worried about? Can't wage war on an empty stomach! | Sabin "What are you worried about? Can't wage war on an empty stomach!" | Slattery. |
| 654 | Cyan: Hummm... Sir! I won't hear any more of this kind of talk! | Cyan: *sigh*... Do what thou wilt, sir. I'm sure there is no stopping thee... | Cyan "Hmm… I was clearly made not for this sort of banter. Confound it all…" | kWhazit; "Such talk as this is no strong point of mine." -> new "I was clearly made not for this sort of banter" partly w/r/t Woolsey "this kind of talk" |
| 655 | Sabin: Well! I've stuffed down all I can... Let's go! | Sabin: Whew! I'm stuffed! Shall we get moving? | Sabin "Well! I've stuffed down all I can… Let's go!" | (W) |
| 656 | WAITER: One moment, please. | Waiter: One moment, please. | Waiter "One moment, please." | (W & S) |
| 657 | Cyan: A...are you going to be okay if you eat THIS? | Cyan: Is this train's food tr-truly safe to eat? | Cyan "A-art thou sure it's safe to eat this…?" | New; meaning close to kWhazit, uses second person w/r/t Woolsey; "A...are you [Woolsey]" -> "A-art thou" |
| 658 | Shadow: ...... Interceptor...are you hungry? | Shadow: ... Interceptor... Are you hungry, too, boy? | Shadow "…… Interceptor… You hungry?" | Woolsey, reformatted; "are you" -> "You" for brevity |

I'm sure there's a way. | Conductor "You want to stop the train? Look around the engineer's cabin and you'll figure it out." | First sentence Slattery; Second sentence kWhazit, "engine room" -> "engineer's cabin [DarkMage]" |
| 661 | IMPRESARIO: I manage this train! What business have you here? Hmmm... <Choice>(Tell us about the train.) <Choice>(How do we stop it?) <Choice>(Leave us in peace.) | Conductor: I'm this train's conductor.

What business have you here?" "Hmmm…" <Choice> Tell us about the train. <Choice> How {do we stop this thing/can we stop this iron horse}? <Choice> Nothing{, sorry to bother {you/thee}/}. | Page 1: Woolsey; memorable aggressive tone preferred over literal "I'm this train's conductor [Slattery]"; "I manage" -> "I'm in charge of". // Page 2: Slattery; restored "Hmmm..." at the top of the page, which was impossible on the GBA version's 3-line captions; Adaptive Dialog added for M.C. Cyan. |
| 662 | IMPRESARIO: This train ferries the dear departed to the "other side." There they can take their eternal rest. | Conductor: The Phantom Train ferries the souls of the departed to the other side. Once the souls arrive, they are granted their eternal rest. | Conductor "The Phantom Train ferries the souls of the dead to the other side. There they may take their eternal rest." | First sentence Slattery merged w/ Woolsey, "departed [Slattery]" -> "dead [kWhazit]"; Second sentence Woolsey, "can" -> "may [DarkMage]" w/r/t Slattry "are granted" / kWhazit "gain" -- the eternal rest acquired is given as somewhat distinct from the place of rest itself. |
| 663 | Can't follow us now. | That should be the end of that... | That should be the end of that… | Slattery. Woolsey ("Can't follow us now") is much more literal here, but Slattery feels more natural. Early ROSE effort to split the difference ("Should be the last we see of 'em...") was too awkward to retain in the long run.) |
| 664 | Cyan: Be these time schedules? Sabin: Hmmm... They're all blank! | Cyan: Might these be timetables? Sabin: These? ...Huh? They're all blank! | Cyan "Might these be timetables?" Sabin "Let's see… Huh? They're all blank!" | Page 1: Slattery. // Page 2: First sentence kWhazit, second sentence Slattery reformatted. |
| 665 | IMPRESARIO: The Phantom Train guides "the departed ones" to the spirit world. They have no need of schedules! | Conductor: This train carries the dead to the afterlife. It's a little tough to be making timetables with as much conflict in the world as there is right now. | Conductor "The Phantom Train carries the dead to the afterlife." "With so much conflict in the world these days, it's impossible to draw up any sort of timetable!" | Page 1: Slattery; "This train" -> "The Phantom Train [Woolsey]" w/r/t kWhazit. // Page 2: kWhazit, edited for style & tone w/r/t Woolsey; "war" -> "conflict [Slattery]", pseudo-intensifier "possibly [kWhazit] -> pseudo-intensifier "any sort of" |
| 666 | Sabin: What's this? Let me just give it a... | Sabin: Wonder what this is for...? Why don't we see what happens if we pull it? | Sabin "What's this? Let me just give it a…" | (W) (Early ROSE effort used kWhazit) |
| 667 | Cyan: Sir Sabin! Maybe we shouldn't fumble with that! | Cyan: Sir Sabin! I think it would be best not to touch that! | Cyan "Sir Sabin! Perhaps it would be best not to tamper with that!" | Slattery; "I think" -> "Perhaps [Spooniest]"; "touch" -> "tamper with [Rodimus Primal]" |
| 668 | Sabin: Cyan... You're not...scared, are you!? | Sabin: Cyan... You're not...scared, are you!? | Sabin "Cyan… You're not…scared, are you?" | Woolsey & Slattery; removed exclamation point w/r/t kWhazit |
| 669 | Sabin: Gave it my best shot. | Sabin: Oops! My hand must've slipped! | Sabin "Oops! My hand must've slipped!" | Slattery. |
| 670 | Cyan: How could you... | Cyan: Oh, thou art truly insufferable... | Cyan "Oh, thou art truly insufferable…" | Slattery. (Early ROSE effort used Woolsey.) |
| 671 | Cyan: How can you...!? | Cyan: Wh-what!? | Cyan "Wh-what!?" | Slattery. |
| 672 | Cyan: How dare you?! Just because I respect other beings' property doesn't mean I'm not mechanically minded! | Cyan: Wh-what dost thou mean? It's not as though I have an aversion to machines... ...or try to stay away from them as much as humanly possible...or anything like that! | Cyan "Wh-what speakest thou!?" "Just because I respect the property of other beings doesn't mean I'm not mechanically minded…" "…Or that I try to avoid machinery whenever possible… …or anything of the sort!" | Woolsey merged w/ Slattery and slightly reworded for style. Slattery's extension to the dialog verified w/r/t kWhazit |
| 673 | Sabin: Cyan... You're a total klutz when it comes to machines. | Sabin: Cyan... So, you're afraid of machines! | Sabin "Cyan… You're totally helpless when it comes to machines, huh?" | Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit. Woolseyism "a total klutz" -> toned down "totally helpless", still more interesting rhetoric than Slattery's "afraid", and more accurate than Slattery as well (kWhazit: "no good", Lina Darkstar: "bad") |
| 674 | Cyan: SILENCE...! H...how could you tell? | Cyan: Argh! Wh-what gave it away? | Cyan "Argh! H-how couldst thou tell?" | First sentence: Slattery. Second sentence: kWhazit, removed exclamation point (present in FF6j) w/r/t Woolsey & Slattery. Would get the same result by simply rewording Woolsey to the archaic Cyan style. |
| 675 | Cyan: A train's there!? But I thought Doma's railway had been destroyed...? Sabin: May be survivors inside. Let's take a look. | Cyan: A train!? I thought all of Doma's railways had been destroyed in the fighting... Sabin: There could be survivors. Let's take a look inside. | Cyan "A train!? But I thought Doma's railways were all destroyed in the fighting…" Sabin "There might be survivors. Let's take a look inside." | Page 1: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery, lightly reworded for brevity & style. // Page 2: Slattery; "could" -> "might [kWhazit]" |
| 676 | Cyan: Sir Sabin! | Cyan: Sir Sabin! | Cyan "Sir Sabin!" | (W & S) |
| 677 | Sabin: We can't just wander around out here! We have to go on board! | Sabin: We can't just wander around out here all day. We have to check inside! | Sabin "We can't just wander around out here all day. We have to check inside!" | Slattery. |
| 678 | Sabin: What on earth...? | Sabin: What in the world...? | Sabin "What in the world…?" | Slattery. |
| 679 | Cyan: Let me off! This train's haunted! | Cyan: We must leave at once! This is the Phantom Train! | Cyan "We must leave at once! This is the Phantom Train!" | Slattery. |
| 680 | Cyan: Gulp...where are we? | Cyan: It seems we have arrived. | Cyan "We seem to have arrived." | kWhazit |
| 681 | Sabin: Hoo, boy! Finally got off... | Sabin: Whew! Glad to be off that thing! | Sabin "Whew! Glad to be off that thing!" | Slattery. |
| 682 | Sabin: Hey! We can get in right here! | Sabin: Hey! Looks like we can get in through here. | Sabin "Hey! Looks like we can get in through here." | Slattery. |
| 683 | Ha, ha ha... What ever did you think you were doing? | Whew... What do you suppose that was all about? | Phew… What was that {all /}about…? | Slattery; "Whew" -> "Phew" w/r/t kWhazit "*pant* *pant*" -- "Whew" considered to indicate less exhaustion; Adaptive Dialog removes "all" for M.C. Cyan |
| 684 | Huh!? | Huh!? | <Party Leader> "Huh!?" | Woolsey/Slattery; Adaptive Dialog adds speaker label for M.C. |
| 685 | N.o...e.s.c.a.p.e...! | . . . N o . . . e s c a p e . . . | "No… es…cape…!" | Woolsey/Slattery; words divided by syllable rather than by letter |
| 686 | Who's there!? | Who's there!? | Who's there!? | (W & S) |
| 687 | It came from this direction. | It came from over here. | It came from this direction… | Woolsey, repunctuated for suspense. |
| 688 | Whoa! They're coming...! | Gah! They're coming after us...! | Whoa! They're coming after us! | First sentence Woolsey; Second sentence Slattery. |
| 689 | This way too! | There are more of them this way! | This way, too! | Woolsey, fixed punctuation. |
| 690 | You can't escape... Nowhere to run... Nowhere to hide... | Nowhere to run... Nowhere to hide... No escape for you... | "You can't escape…" "Nowhere to run…" "Nowhere to hide…" | Woolsey. |
| 691 | Bloody persistent...! | They just don't let up! | {{They just don't let up/Bloody persistent…}/{They just don't let up/Bloody persistent…}}! | Woolsey or Slattery depending on M.C. via Adaptive Dialog |
| 692 | Cyan: I believe we're stuck! | Cyan: I believe we have reached a dead end, Sir Sabin! | Cyan "I'm afraid we've reached a dead end!" | Slattery reworded for brevity & tone w/r/t Woolsey; "I believe" -> "I'm afraid"; ", Sir Sabin" removed w/r/t FF6j/kWhazit |
| 693 | Sabin: I know! Cyan: You have an idea? | Sabin: All right! Cyan: Hast thou an idea? | Sabin "I've got it!" Cyan "Hast thou an idea?" | Page 1: New, very common exclamation upon having an idea. // Page 2: Slattery. |
| 694 | Sabin: Okay... The time has come to see if all my training has paid off. Come, Cyan! | Sabin: Yes... The time has come to put my training to use! Come, Cyan! | Sabin "Yes… The time has finally come for all my training to pay off." "Come, Cyan!" | Page 1: First sentence Slattery; Second sentence Woolsey, edited for simpler literal meaning w/r/t kWhazit & Slattery. // Page 2: Woolsey; The sudden hyper-Zen tone of Sabin in Woolsey's rendering here is great humor. |
| 695 | Sabin: Yahoooo!! | Sabin: Yahoooo! | Sabin "Yahoooo!!" | (W) |
| 696 | Hey... Uh, oh...? | Hey... They couldn't still be...? | <Actor> "Hey…" <Actor> "They couldn't still be…?" | Slattery, broken up into one speakers per sentence w/r/t FF6j/kWhazit; Adaptive Dialog adds speaker labels based on sprite position. |
| 697 | VOICE: Stop where you are! | Voice: Hold it right there! | Voice "Hold it right there!" | Slattery. |
| 698 | MAN: I am Ziegfried, the world's greatest swordsman! That treasure chest is mine. If I were you, Ox, I'd grab grandpa, here, and run! | Man: I am Siegfried, the greatest swordsman in all the world! And that treasure belongs to me! If I were you, you overmuscled moose, I'd grab Grandpa there and run away while you still can! | Man "I am Ziegfried, the world's greatest swordsman! That treasure belongs to me!" "If I were you, Ox, I'd grab Grandpa there and lumber away!" | Page 1: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery; uses "Ziegfried [Woolsey]" here rather than "Siegfried [Slattery]". // Page 2: Woolsey; "grandpa, here," -> "Grandpa there [Slattery]"; "run" -> "lumber away [DarkMage]". Note: This script reframes Woolsey's likely unintended misnomer "Ziegfried" as an alternate spelling used only for the fake Siegfried. |
| 699 | Sabin: You look more like a manicurist. Now SCRAM!!! ZIEGFRIED: Aha! The ox bellows! Allow me to introduce my blade! | Sabin: "Greatest windbag" is more like it... You're the one who had best beat a brave retreat. Siegfried: What!? Brazen words for a man about to be spitted upon my blade like a plump and juicy pig! En garde! | Sabin "Greatest swordsman? You look more like my grandma's manicurist. Now scram, before you get hurt." Ziegfried "Aha! The ox can bellow! Allow me, then, to introduce you to my blade. En garde!" | Page 1: Woolsey; "manicurist" -> "grandma's manicurist" modifier supplied in order to parallel "greatest swordsman". (Note for the unseasoned: 'Grandma' here is a fixed trash-talking device, not a literal reference to a person.) // Page 2: DarkMage (Woolsey lightly reworded, adds "En garde! [Slattery]" to the end); "Allow me" -> "Allow me, then," for cohesion. |
| 700 | What a bag of wind... | All bark, no bite... | What a windbag… | Woolsey; "bag of wind" -> "windbag" (Gives alliteration to the phrase; also no reason to reinvent the original metaphor from the compound word). Note: Slattery uses "windbag" in #699. |
| 701 | SIGFRIED: Impossible! I...I'm the greatest... But I'll still laugh last! | Siegfried: N-no! It cannot be! But...the last laugh belongs to me! | Ziegfried "No… Impossible…! But still… the last laugh belongs to me!" | First sentence Slatter merged w/ Woolsey, uses "Ziegfried" (see #698); Second sentence Slattery, "But..." -> "But still..." in order to ham it up slightly w/r/t the very drama-queenish renderings of Woolsey ("I...I'm the greatest...") & Lina Darkstar ("Howeeeever!"). Note: Woolsey's rendering is novel. |
| 702 | SIGFRIED: Uwa, ha, ha! This treasure is mine! Ta ta, cretins! | Siegfried: Uwa-ha-ha! The treasure is mine! Au revoir, my friends! | Ziegfried "Uwa, ha, ha! The treasure is mine! Ta ta, cretins!" | Woolsey; "SIGFRIED" -> "Ziegfried" (See #698) |
| 703 | We have to detach the rear train cars! | We'll have to detach the rear cars! | Sabin "We have to detach the rear cars!" | Woolsey; "train cars" -> "cars" w/r/t Slattery |
| 704 | This is the engineer's room. Gotta stop this thing...! | This is the engineer's compartment. We've gotta find a way to stop this thing, fast! | This is the engineer's cabin. {Gotta/We must} find a way to stop this thing, {fast/quickly}! | Slattery; "compartment" -> "cabin [DarkMage]"; "We've gotta" -> "Gotta [Woolsey]"; Adaptive Dialog adjusts wording/tone for M.C. Cyan/Shadow. |
| 705 | Something's written here! What? What? To stop the train, shut the first and third pressure valves, and operate the switch outside, near the smoke stack. | Something's written here! Hmm... "To stop the train, shut the first and third pressure valves, then throw the switch located by the smokestack." | Something's written here! Hmm… "To stop the engine, shut the first and third pressure valves, then throw the switch located by the smokestack." | Page 1: Slattery. (Woolsey splits into two pages, which could potentially indicate a second speaker for the second line, but FF6j gives no such indication.) // Page 2: Slattery; "train" -> "engine [kWhazit]". |
| 706 | Press this switch and the train'll stop. | The train should stop if we throw this switch. | The train should stop if we throw this switch. | Slattery. |
| 707 | Just throw this switch, and... Huh? Nothing's happening! | Just push this switch, and... Huh? Nothing happened! | Just push this switch, and… Huh? Nothing happened! | Slattery. |
| 708 | Sabin: Won't open! | Sabin: The door won't open! | Sabin "It won't open!" | kWhazit. |
| 709 | Cyan: We're too late. | Cyan: I fear we are too late. | Cyan "We're too late." | Woolsey. |
| 710 | Sabin: What's with this train? | Sabin: What did you say this train was? | Sabin "What did you say this train was?" | Slattery. |
| 711 | Cyan: This is the Phantom Train... It carries the departed to...the other side. | Cyan: This is the Phantom Train... It carries the souls of the departed to their...final destination. | Cyan "This is the Phantom Train, sire, which carrieth the deceased to their… final destination." | Slattery, lightly edited for style. |
| 712 | Sabin: Wait a sec... I don't want to go THERE! Cyan: We all have to go sometime... | Sabin: ...Wait a second. You're saying this train's giving us a one-way ride to...the afterlife!? Cyan: Unless we find a way off, I am afraid that is exactly where we will end up... | Sabin "Wait a sec… I don't want to go THERE!" Cyan "There cometh a time for us all…" | Page 1: Woolsey. // Page 2: Woolsey, reworded for style. Deviates from FF6j (kWhazit: "An we continue on riding, such will come to pass" / Slattery: "Unless we find a way off, I am afraid that is exactly where we will end up..."), but Woolsey's version is a well-taken opportunity to remind the player of Cyan's grief -- and is kind of humorous at the same time. |
| 713 | Sabin: I have things to do HERE. We have to stop this thing. Let's make for the engine. | Sabin: Well, I'm afraid that's a trip I'm going to have to pass on! If it won't let us off, then we'll stop it ourselves. Let's make for the engine. | Sabin "I've still got stuff to do HERE. If this thing won't let us off, then we'll just have to stop it ourselves!" "Let's make for the engine." | First sentence Woolsey, lightly edited for style & cohesion. Second sentence Slattery, "If it" -> "If this thing" w/r/t Woolsey, adds exclamation point w/r/t kWhazit sentences 1 & 3. // Page 2: (W & S) |

Too bad our only diving helmet was stolen... | Hop into the current, and you'd be swept straight to Nikeah!

I dressed his wounds, but things aren't looking good… "Those letters coming from the town of Maranda are the only things keeping him going…" | First sentence Slattery heavily edited: removed "greviously injured" (replaced by Woolsey in sentence 2), "wandered" -> "was found limping"; removed "not too long ago" for brevity w/r/t Woolsey; Second sentence Woolsey; Third sentence Slattery, "his condition doesn't seem to be improving..." -> "things aren't looking good" for brevity & style w/r/t Woolsey "It doesn't look good". // Page 2: Slattery. |

I can send letters and packages to any corner of the world for you! | Let me know if you need anything. My service can send your letters and packages all over the world! | First sentence Slattery (Woolsey considered a little awkard/unclear in spite of good style); Second sentence Slattery; "I can" -> "My service can", "service" used to retain something of Woolsey's "I am at your service", also somewhat justified by Mato's interpretation, that the line is said 'in a polite way...you would talk to a customer' as a representative of a 'business'. |

Would you be kind enough to bring it to me?" | Page 1: Slattery; "Injured Lad" -> "Wounded Soldier [kWhazit/Mato]". // Page 2: Slattery merged w/ Woolsey; Woolsey's "caught me...and did this..." parallels kWhazit "found and maimed"; Slattery beats around the bush even more than Woolsey. // Page 3: W & S, "see Lola" -> "see my Lola" for coherence, influenced by DarkMage's novel "see my dearest Lola". // Page 4: Slattery. |

(Early ROSE effort based more on Woolsey; Slattery's accuracy confirmed by Mato.) // Page 2: Slattery. // Page 3: First sentence New, based on meaning of kWhazit "How is your health doing?" -- kWhazit already suggests that Lola knows of the soldier's injuries, Woolsey never makes it explicit, Slattery does not indicate it until later; Second sentence Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit; Third sentence Woolsey. // Page 4: Slattery. // Page 5: Woolsey merged w/ kWhazit; "every day [kWhazit]" -> "each day". |

I'm so worried... | ...I haven't heard from you for some time now, and I'm beginning to worry... | …I haven't heard from you for some time now, and I'm beginning to worry… | Slattery. (Note: Early ROSE effort made edit "heard from you" -> "gotten a reply from you [kWhazit]" because of concerns about the phrase being potentially technically wrong in the context of a written letter, but there is actually plenty of basis in both pre- and post-20th century (telephone) literature for exactly that.) |
| 772 | For 500 GP you can send a letter. <Choice> (Send it) <Choice> (Forget it) | You can send a letter for 500 gil. <Choice> (Send it.) <Choice> (Forget it.) | You can send a letter for 500 gil. <Choice> (Send it.) <Choice> (Forget it.) | Slattery. |

I'm so happy!" | Slattery; added "Lola" speaker label; "a record" -> "this record", since the point about the record is that it was a particular special one, though "the record [DarkMage]" would go a little too far and imply Lola somehow expects the characters already to know all about it. |
| 777 | He sent some Tonic for Mom! He's so kind! | He sent a potion for Mother... He's so kind... | Lola "He sent a potion for Mother! He's so kind…" | Slattery; added "Lola" speaker label; first sentence repunctuated w/r/t Woolsey |

I'll treasure it forever! | Lola "He sent me his book! I've been reading a little bit every night before bed. I'll treasure it forever!" | First sentence Woolsey, "that" -> "his" for similar reason to the note for #776 takes the place of Slattery's novel clarification "he'd been reading"; Second & third sentences Slattery; added "Lola" speaker label. |

| 784 | Sabin: Will this really let us breathe underwater? | Sabin: It might let us breathe underwater. | Sabin "If each of us wears one, we'll be able to breathe underwater… right?" | New, based on kWhazit, third person ("each of us") rather than second person, edited to suggest the existence of more than one helmet. |
| 785 | Sabin: Cyan! The shiny thing Gau spoke of is in here. | Sabin: Cyan! That "shiny, shiny" thing of Gau's is in here. | Sabin "Cyan! This must be where Gau has his 'shiny, shiny' thing." | First sentence Woolsey & Slattery; Second sentence DarkMage; novel "This cave" -> "This". DarkMage edit gives Sabin a little more credit than all primary translations. |
