| 1615 | Terra: To the Esper World...? | Terra: ...The gate to the esper world? | Terra "…The gate to the Esper realm?" | Slattery; "world" -> "realm" (see #1422). |
| 1616 | ARVIS: We'll never beat the Empire without them. | Arvis: We'll never beat the Empire without their help. | Arvis "We'll never beat the Empire without the Espers' help." | Slattery; "their help" -> "the Espers' help" for clarity & w/r/t kWhazit ("help from the Genjuu") |
| 1617 | BANON: When the gate has been opened, the Espers can attack from the east. We'll storm in at the same time, from the north. | Banon: The Sealed Gate lies to the Empire's east. When we open it, the espers can attack from there while we launch an invasion from the north. | Banon "The Sealed Gate lies to the Empire's east." "When we open it, the Espers can attack from there while we launch an invasion from the north." | Slattery. |

| 1624 | NARSHE'S ELDER: Our battle lies before us. We must make ourselves ready. | Narshe Elder: Now we are left with no choice but to take up arms against the Empire. I suppose this was inevitable... | Narshe Elder "So, a battle with the Empire lies before us.

| 1626 | ARVIS: The sealed gate stands at the eastern edge of the Empire. There's a base there, but somehow we'll have to slip through... | Arvis: The Sealed Gate lies far to the Empire's east, but they keep it under tight surveillance. Please, find a way to slip through and open the gate! | Arvis "The Sealed Gate lies in the far eastern reaches of the Empire." "The Empire keeps the gate under tight surveillance, but you'll have to find a way to slip though and get it open." | Page 1: Woolsey, reformatted; "stands" -> "lies (Slattery)"; "at the Eastern edge" -> "in the far eastern reaches" for precision & w/r/t kWhazit ("in the Empire's east.")

| 1646 | What the!!! | Wh-what!? | Wh-what!? | Slattery. |
| 1647 | Espers? | Espers!? | Espers!? | Slattery. |
| 1648 | Hey! The gate!!! | The gate...! | Ah! The gate!! | kWhazit ("Ah! The gate!!!"); removed an exclamation point for style w/r/t Slattery. |
| 1649 | What about those Espers...? | ...Where did the espers go? | {<Actor> /}"What{{ just happened/ happen}/ just happened} with those Espers…?" | New "What just happened with those Espers_?", based on Woolsey and kWhazit ("Those Genjuu...?"); adaptive dialog for Gau. Speaker is asking what was going on *with* the Espers just as much as, if not more than, where they went (See Slattery). |
| 1650 | Terra: Look, let's return to the airship. | Terra: We'd better head back to the airship. | Terra "In any case, we'd better get back to the airship." | kWhazit ("In any case, let's return to the airship.") merged w/ Slattery; "head back (Slattery)" -> "get back". |

| 1654 | Terra: I'm all right. I'm sure peace is within our grasp! | Terra "I'm all right. I'm sure a peaceful future is just ahead!" | First sentence Woolsey; Second sentence kWhazit ("I'm sure a peaceful future is just ahead..."), repunctuated w/r/t Woolsey. | |
| 1655 | Terra: I'm all right. I'm sure peace is within our grasp! | Terra: Don't worry. I'm sure a peaceful future is right around the corner! | Terra "I'm all right. I'm sure a peaceful future is just ahead!" | First sentence Woolsey; Second sentence kWhazit ("I'm sure a peaceful future is just ahead..."), repunctuated w/r/t Woolsey. |
| 1656 | Locke: I can't believe we played a major role in it all! | Locke: We'll bring peace back to the world...no matter what! | Locke "We're taking back peace, and we're doing it with our own hands!" | kWhazit ("We're taking back peace with our own hands!"), edited for style. |
| 1657 | Locke: I'm sure the Espers were headed for Vector... | Locke: The espers probably headed straight for Vector... | Locke "I'll bet the Espers were heading straight for Vector…" | kWhazit ("I'll bet the Genjuu headed to Vector for sure") merged w/ Woolsey & Slattery; including either "straight (Slattery)" or "for sure (kWhazit)" is important for consistency, since it was already discussed among the party that the Espers were heading for Vector. |
| 1658 | Cyan: The Empire deserves the worst! | Cyan: I cannot forgive the Empire... | Cyan "I cannot forgive the Empire…" | Slattery. |
| 1659 | Cyan: I could feel the warrior spirits of those Espers! | Cyan: I could feel the warrior spirit in those espers. | Cyan "I could feel the warrior spirit in those Espers." | Slattery, reformatted. |
| 1660 | Shadow: ...... Why am I here...? For the money, I guess. | Shadow: ... ...Why am I here? For the money. ...Right? | ~~~ Shadow "…… …Why am I here? For the money. That's it." | (unused) Slattery, reformatted; "...Right?" -> "That's it." w/r/t kWhazit ("For the money... of course.") |
| 1661 | Shadow: I think Kefka's out for General Leo's hide! | Shadow: This is just between us, but I heard that Kefka has designs on General Leo's life... | ~~~ Shadow "None of my business… but I heard Kefka is out for General Leo's blood." | (unused) DarkMage (similar to Slattery with different word choices) |

| 1665 | Sabin: Let's see what's become of the Empire! Hurry! | Sabin: We should hurry and check out the situation in the Empire. I'm a little worried... | Sabin "We should hurry and check out the situation in the Empire. I'm a little worried…" | Slattery. Not as literal as kWhazit ("I'm worried about how things are in the Empire... Let's hurry and go take a look!") but more believable; the more literal rendering gives an impression that Sabin is worried *about* the Empire itself (a.k.a. the enemy). |
| 1666 | Celes: I was one of the Empire's generals, but I still know evil when I see it. | Celes: I may have served as a general to the Empire, but I still know evil when I see it. | Celes "I was a general of the Empire… But I still know evil when I see it." | First sentence New, based on kWhazit ("I... was an Imperial general.") -- full stop; Second sentence from Woolsey/Slattery. |

We need to act fast... | ~~~ Celes "Kefka's sure to think up another dirty scheme. We need to act fast…" | (unused) Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. |
| 1668 | Strago: In all my travels, and in all my years... | Strago: I traveled around the world, too, in my younger days... | Strago "I traveled around the world, too, in my younger days…" | Slattery. |
| 1669 | Strago: ...I've never seen anyone so sleazy as Kefka. | Strago: Never in all my years have I fallen from anywhere so high up! | Strago "Never in all my years have I fallen from anywhere so high up!" | (unused) Slattery. Also see kWhazit ("I've lived many a year, but that's the first time I've ever fallen from such a high place.") |
| 1670 | Relm: I know. Let me draw their portraits! | Relm: Hey! Do you want me to paint your portrait? | Relm "Hey, hey! Do you want me to paint your portrait?" | Slattery; "Hey!" -> "Hey, hey! (kWhazit)" |
| 1671 | Relm: I'm sure those Espers are all very kind! | Relm: Those espers are all friendly, right!? | Relm "I'm sure those Espers are all super friendly, right!?" | (unused) Woolsey merge w/ Slattery; "very kind" -> "super friendly"; merged w/ kWhazit ("I'm sure the Genjuu are all just a bunch of nice guys, right!?") |
| 1672 | Setzer: What's the most important thing in life? Being free of obligations! Otherwise, you lose the ability to gamble... | Setzer: What's important to me...? Bah! If I were attached to things, I couldn't gamble! | Setzer "The most important thing to me…? Bah! If I formed attachments, I'd never be able to gamble!" | First sentence Slattery merged w/ kWhazit ("The most important thing...?"); otherwise Slattery edited for style. |
| 1673 | Setzer: Urghh! For the time being, I don't own the skies... | Setzer: Blast it... I guess the skies'll have to wait... | Setzer "Damn it…! For the time being, I no longer own the skies…" | First sentence kwhazit ("Damn...") merged w/ Woolsey's punctuation; Second sentence Woolsey, "I don't" -> "I no longer" for clarity. |

Coincidentally matches the original line if Shadow is the party leader. |
| 1679 | Umaro: Uhhhh... | Umaro: Ooga... | Umaro "Ooogh…" | New, based on kWhazit ("Uuuu..."). |

| 1704 | We've lost our will to fight. | I've lost the will to fight... | I can't bring myself to fight anymore… | New; based on Slattery & Lina Darkstar ("I don't want to fight anymore"). |
| 1705 | Kefka's been imprisoned for unspeakable war crimes. He's on his last legs... | The emperor imprisoned Kefka after he learned about everything he'd done. It sounds like Kefka may end up spending the rest of his life behind bars... | Kefka was imprisoned once his atrocities were made known to the Emperor. I hear it'll be a life sentence, at the least… | Lina Darkstar ("Kefka was imprisoned when his misdeeds were made known to the Emperor. I hear it's a life sentence at least..."); "when his misdeeds" -> "once his atrocities"; "I hear it's" -> "I hear it'll be". |

Let us speak at length over dinner tonight!" | First line "In any case..." is more or less novel, replaces segue "But for (Woolsey)", or hinted in kWhazit ("For tonight"), indicating Gestahl is explictly bringing the topic back into focus after Cid's philosophizing in the previous caption. Address "Esteemed warriors!" New, based on kWhazit / Lina Darkstar ("Warriors."), but with the tone of Slattery ("Friends!") -- note the use of "friends" by Woolsey & Slattery telegraph too strongly that Gestahl is not acting in good faith.

Not another move, or this one's dust…! | First sentence Slattery, second sentence Woolsey, "Don't move" -> "Not another move" to hopefully strike a better balance between making sense (since Lone Wolf is perfectly fine with the player moving backward) and giving a proper hint to the player. With Slattery the hint comes through much less clearly. Note "this one's dust" compares to kWhazit ("this one's life is forfeit"), "moogle (Slattery)" is not explicit. |

| 1969 | Relm: What a sweet puppy! | Relm: Hmph! | Relm ♬ Nee, hee! ♬ | New, based on kWhazit ("Nyaaaah!!") & Lina Darkstar commentary ('A close translation for this line would be "Neener neener!" but I rejected that on grounds of Relm not being quite THAT young. Just imagine her sticking out her tongue.'). |

Seems to have taken a liking to your dog... | Strago "Dear me, and now you've befriended the visitor's dog…" | New, based on Slattery & Mato commentary ('It's an incomplete sentence in Japanese', 'He's talking to Relm still about the dog.

I'm terribly sorry, but I really don't think I can be of any help to you folks. Locke: I, uh... I see... Strago: We're just your ordinary, quiet little village... You're not going to find anyone who knows about any of those esper things here, I'm afraid! Not in Thamasa! | Strago "I'm terribly sorry, but I don't think I can be of any help to you folks." Locke "I, uh… I see…" Strago "We're just a typical backwater village here! None of us knows a thing about those 'Espers' of yours…" | Page 1: Slattery, novel "Anyhow..." removed for brevity & effect, "I really don't" -> "I don't" for brevity. // Page 2: Slattery. // Page 3: Woolsey, slightly expanded wording w/r/t kWhazit, first person plural w/r/t Slattery for style. |

| 1979 | Relm: Interceptor, please come back again and play! | Relm: Interceptor, come back to play again sometime! | Relm "Interceptor, come back to play again sometime!" | Slattery. |
| 1980 | Strago: This is awful! Relm...she's... | Strago: You've gotta help! Relm...she's...! | Strago "It's an emergency! Relm…she's…!" | First sentence Lina Darkstar; Second sentence Slattery. |
| 1981 | Terra: Relm's in danger? Strago: Yes! She was at a neighbor's house when a fire broke out. I won't be able to stand it if something happens to her! | Terra: Something happened to Relm? Strago: Yes! She was on fire...and then it caught the neighbor's house on fire...and... Oh, I can't even think straight anymore, but...! | Terra "Little Relm's in danger!?" Strago "Yes! She was at a neighbor's house, a fire broke out, she's a fire-- she's trapped, I mean…!" "Oh, I can't even think straight right now…!" | Page 1: Woolsey; "Relm's" -> "Little Relm's" w/r/t kWhazit ("Relm-chan"). // Page 2: Lina Darkstar ("Yes! She was at a neighbor's house, a fire broke out"...) merged w/ Spooniest ("Yes! She was at the neighbors'! A fire's broken out! She's a fire-- She's trapped, I mean"...), w/r/t kWhazit ("Yes! Relm is stuck in a neighbor's house that caught on fire..."). // Page 3: Slattery merged w/ kWhazit ("Ayayaya... I just don't know what's what anymore!"), "anymore" -> "right now" to better reflect Strago's temporarily flustered state. |
| 1982 | Strago: Please! Won't you help?! | Strago: Please! You have to help her! | Strago "But…please! Won't you help??" | First sentence Woolsey, "Please" -> "But...please" w/r/t segue from kWhazit ("Anyhow") & Lina Darkstar ("Anyways"); Second sentence Woolsey, slightly repunctuated for style. |

| 1990 | Flames be GONE!!! | Flames BEGONE! | {{/Strago }/Strago }"Flames be…GONE!!" | Woolsey, "be GONE" -> "be_GONE" for style, adaptive dialog adds speaker label when said by Strago. |
| 1991 | MAYOR: Magic is forbidden! Terra: Magic...?! | Mayor: Magic is forbidden! Terra: Magic!? | Mayor "That's forbidden use of magic!" Terra "Magic!?" | Page 1: New. Novel wording moves away from the implication that magic is altogether forbidden. // Page 2: Slattery. |
| 1992 | Strago: I don't care! Relm's inside!!! | Strago: I don't care! Relm's inside! | Strago "I don't care what it is! My Relm's in there!!" | New, based on Spooniest ("I don't care! That's my Relm in there!!!"), lightly adapted to fit better with the new #1991. |
| 1993 | Mayor!! | Mayor! | Mayor! | Slattery. |
| 1994 | MAYOR: All right. We really have no choice. | Mayor: All right... We really have no choice. | Mayor "You're right… We really have no choice." | Slattery, "All right" -> "You're right" w/r/t kWhazit ("Yes, yes...") to disambiguate between approval and agreement. |
| 1995 | MAYOR: Stand back. | Mayor: Stand back. | Mayor "Stand back." | (W & S) |
| 1996 | Strago: It's no use. The fire's too strong! MAYOR: I think that's because they keep so many Fire Rods in here... | Strago: It's no use! The fire's too strong!

Locke: Count me in, too. I'm not gonna let an old geezer go in there on his own! Strago: Who are you calling a geezer!? I'm only seventy, and fit as a fiddle! "Geezer," he says... | Terra "Wait. I'll go too." Locke "That's right. Don't leave us out in the cold, Gramps." Strago "Who're you calling Gramps!? I may be past my prime, sonny, but I'm not decrepit!" | Page 1: Woolsey merged w/ Slattery. // Page 2: New, based on kWhazit ("That's right, gramps.
