Text Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:La-Mulana (2006)/Demo.

Red room = Boss Interestingly, the demo uses both quote marks and Japanese hook brackets instead of only the latter in the final. Since there is no detailed map in-game, please see the one to the right to know where in the build do the locations on the categories' names refer to.

Row 1#

C-1#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
みちびきのま	Chamber of Guidance
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
ここは母のねむるばしょ。死をもおそれぬ勇者のみがすすむことをゆるされるシレンの道なり。	This is where the Mother sleeps. A path of trials, where only heroes that do not fear death may enter.

Instead of introducing the player to the ruins like in the final game, this stone tablet simply has the area's name printed, probably as a placeholder.

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
こんないりぐちでしんでしまうとはいっしょうのふかくなり。もうしんでるけどね。	Dying on this kinda entrance is a mistake of a lifetime. I'm already dying though.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
このいせきはわなだらけだ。もはやだっしゅつする力もない・・・	These ruins are full of traps. I no longer have the energy to escape...

From the skeleton near the entrance.

Row 2#

D-2#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
ここは “ みちびきのま ” なんじのたどりつきしばしょはこのばしょなり。	This is the "Chamber of Guidance" Thy place of arrival is this place.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
ここはみちびきのもん。この地をあらわすものを死へとみちびくばしょなり。	This is the Gate of Guidance. A place to guide those who would defile these grounds to their deaths.

The tablet that became the area's warp point in the final game.

E-2#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
天にささげしいけにえをしとめよ。	Shoot down a sacrifice to offer it to heaven.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
天に３ひきのいけにえをささげよ。	Offer three sacrifices to heaven.

A normal stone tablet. The original text was changed to be more clear.

F-2#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
このせきひを２どとよむべからず。さもなくばしかるべきむくいをうけよう。	Do not read this tablet twice. Or else thou wilt get proper retribution.
Final (Original, Mausoleum)	Final (Translation, Mausoleum)
このせきひを２どとみるべからず。いましめをやぶりしものには死のくるしみをあたえる。	Do not see this tablet twice. That who ignores the warning wilt be granted the pain of death.
Final (Original, Same Area)	Final (Translation, Same Area)
ここは聖イキである。みだりにきずつけるべからず。いましめをやぶりしものには天バツがくだる。	This is a holy place. Do not defile it carelessly. That who ignores the warning wilt be given divine punishment.

This tablet activates Hard Mode in the demo. It was moved to the Mausoleum of the Giants in the final and a hint for the divine lightning stayed in its place. Notably, even the text that was moved is different, but it also borrows a line from the tablet that stayed in its place.

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
けいこくをむしるもの、しかるべきむくいをうけよ。	That who makes little of the warning, receive proper retribution.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
いましめをやぶりしものよ死のくるしみをあじわえ。	Ye who ignores the warning. Taste the pain of death.

This is what the tablet's text changes to once Hard Mode is activated.

Cacti may speak Japanese, but do they speak it well?

'...But does it make sense?'

Notes: Maybe Yoshimune really is a person?

Original (Prototype)	Translation (Prototype)
どうもサミエルです。こわれてます。こんかい、どっかできいたようなこうかおんがなりますが、マジでぜんぶオリジナルです。さて、Ｓ・ＳＣＣいかがっすか？ノイズがかんでますがそれもＭＳＸテイストとしておたのしみください。いろいろあるけども、それはまたのきかいにとおもうヨシムネであった。	Hello, I am Samieru. I'm breaking down. You might feel like you've heard some of the sounds in this game before, but they're all original. Honest! Now, how about that S-SCC huh? There's a bit of noise, but I hope you enjoy its MSX flavor. There's a lot we could do, but Yoshimune thinks we'll have another chance.
Original (Final)	Translation (Final)
勇気をもつ者がブキをてにすることができるらしいが・・・こんなはりのなかにとびおりたら死んじゃうよ。	Looks like the courageous can obtain the weapon but... I'm dead if I jump onto these spikes.

Comment by the programmer Samieru. For some reason, he felt the need to put his message on a stone tablet, so it has to be deciphered first. The module used in the game known as SSCC notably has an interpunct here, likely since it's an abbreviation of Sanbiki SCC, as indicated by its filename SanbikiScc.dls. This was later replaced with an off-hand comment by a skeleton.

G-2#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
いだいなる母にいどむならば、ふういんされしぶきをもて！ぶきをもとめるならばゆうきをしめせ！	If thou challenges the Great Mother, take the sealed weapon! Prove thy courage if thou wishes for the weapon!
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
勇気をもつ者よ。力をてにせよ。汝力をのぞむなら、我に汝の勇気をしめせ。	O courageous one. Acquire power. If thou desires power, prove thy courage to me.

A stone tablet that was made less exclamatory and moved to F-2 in the final.

Row 3#

A-3#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
しゅごしゃガーディアンをめざめせよ。ねむりをまもりアンクはあかきかがやきによってくだかれよう。ガーディアンをとわにねむらせしはなんじのちからのみ。	Wake up our protectors, the Guardians. The Ankh protecting their sleep is broken by the red light. Only your power can make the Guardians sleep eternally.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
きよきおとめの命をすいつづけ、とわの力をえた魔モノ、シユウ。いけにえのあなにおちるべからず。	Chiyou, the monster that drinks the lifeblood of pure maidens and has attained eternal power. Do not fall into the hole of sacrifices.

Another stone tablet. In the final game, its content was moved to B-3's tablet and a hint to an area stayed in its place.

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
かゆ・・・うま・・	Itchy... Tasty...
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
なぜだ・・・なんどやってもたからがひらかない。	Why...the treasure won't open no matter how many times I try.

This skeleton's jokey Resident Evil reference was replaced with something that makes a bit more sense in-universe.

D-3#

Prototype (Original)	Final (Translation)
４つのほしがときをさかもどりかがやきうしなう。「いつわり」が「まこと」となるはそのとき。	The four stars shimmer and time reverses. That is when "Falsehood" becomes "Truth".
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
巨人たちのかなしきものがたり。そこには巨人のかなしきレキシがしるされている。	The sad story of the giants. Their history is written down therein.

A hint for the puzzle that gives you the Ankh Jewel, which was replaced with text about the Mausoleum of the Giants in the final. The Demo tablet is also notable for using the full game's second unused tablet image.

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
duplexです。カビてます。ん？、これ？。フリーズ、クラッシュはあたりまえでいどんでね。っといってみる。	This is duplex. 'm gettin' moldy. Hm? This? I'm obviously tackling freezes and crashes y'know, as you see me saying.

「てんしがむきあうばしょに道はある」みえないゆかをみつけたぞ！でもうかれてたらおちてしまった・・・	"There's a path in the place where the angels face each other" I found an invisible floor! But I ended up falling down for getting excited...

From the skeleton at the bottom. This contained a comment by the developer duplex; it was changed to contain the final game's hint for Row 3's puzzle, referencing the B-4 tablet that had it in the Demo.

Row 4#

B-4#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
てんしはみつめあい、天に道をつむぐ。	When the angels look at each other, a path to Heaven assembles.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
しゃくねつのウミをわたるのならばうえの道をたどるべし。	If thou crosses the blazing ocean thou must take the top path.

A hint for Row 3's puzzle, which was replaced with a hint for the Blazing Cavern. Also notable for using the first unused tablet image in the Demo.

Voice the name of this land. And chant the number representing this place to the Holy Grail. If done, thou shalt verily stand once more in this place.

Stone tablet containing a clue for how to find the area's Life Jewel, replaced with another one for how to warp to areas in the final.

Skeleton to the right.

Row 5#

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
キタレ、イアリン！	COME, IARIN!
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
たいようのしんでんにあらたなわなをあなをうめしかけをかくす。	Filling a new trap like a hole in the Temple of the Sun hides the trigger.

This one uses the third unused image in the Demo, and was also replaced by a hint for another area. Who is "Iarin" is unknown, but since the text looks like a joke, it's likely that it wasn't supposed to go into the final product.

Prototype (Original)	Prototype (Translation)
あんなのわかるわけねぇよなぁ・・・おれ、しんじゃうかも。	There's no way of knowing that kinda thing...I, will probably die.
Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
「ふたりのみはり」「しずかになるこどく」「たかきばしょにとどくいし」みはりとは？	"Two guards" "Solitude that becomes silent" "The stone delivered high up" What does it mean by guards?

Final (Original)	Final (Translation)
あかりを　　　　　　　　みえな　を　　　　　　　うごかせ。	Do not fe　　　　　　　　ainst the flow of th　　　　　　　resistance to it.

A stone tablet containing a hint to interact with the skeletons, replaced by a hint for another area in the final. Due to the text limit, the period ends up in the next line in-game.
