If Motavia still had a capital city, this would be it. Place is huge, man.

May Script

This is Aiedo --- a fluid town.
All kinds of things flow in and
out, from all over the place.
Why, if it isn't Alys.
Welcome home!

Final Script

This is Aiedo, a fluid town.
All kinds of things flow in and
out, from all over the place.
Why, if it isn't Alys.
Welcome home!

Translation Notes
As usual, all versions revert to the May draft of the first line, hyphens and all, after Alys leaves the party.


May & August Scripts

Hey, Alys! You look just
as beautiful as usual.
With your hair fluttering
in the wind...
You've one attractive woman
who I have the hots for!
Well, see you later!

Final Script

Hey, Alys! You look just
as beautiful as usual.
With your hair fluttering
in the wind...
You've one attractive woman!
Well, see you later!

Translation Notes
This guy is a little more aggressive in the May draft.

The guy runs off.

May Script

Wh...what was that all about?
What a geek?

Final Script

Wh...what was that all about?
What a geek!

May Script

Maybe he's being forced
to say those things?

Final Script

Maybe he's being forced
to say those things.

Hey, you guys over there!
What are you talking about?


May Script

There are a lot of hunters
in this town so it's kind of
dangerous, but,
on the other hand, we're safe
if any monsters appear.
There are some benefits of
having all these hunters here!

Final Script

There are a lot of hunters
in this town so it's kind of
dangerous, but,
on the other hand, we're safe
if any monsters appear.
There are some benefits to
having all these hunters here!


May Script

I'd say that
'Alys the Eight Stroke Knife'
is the most skilled person
in these parts.

Final Script

I'd say that
'Alys the Eight Stroke Sword'
is the most skilled fighter
in these parts.

Translation Notes
Both nicknames are inconsistent with what Dorin called her: The Eight Stroke Warrior. Plus, Alys can't equip daggers or swords, so neither would be right anyway.

The Japanese version didn't have this problem and kept the nickname consistent.

Didn't I tell you to quit
calling me that?
It's totally ridiculous!

May Script

Yeah, you certainly did!
Ooops! Alys,
why are you hitting me?!

Final Script

Yeah, it certainly is!
Ooops! Alys,
why are you hitting me?!


May & August Scripts

I've come from Zema to peddle my
wares, but...
Look at this town!
It's already got a pretty
impressive marketplace!
But I still have to sell the
wares I brought,
otherwise, I'd be too
embarrassed to go home!

But I still have to sell the
wares I brought.

May Script

The fortune-teller named 'Mito'
is one of the best.
Like last time,
she was right on the money about
where my husband was stashing
his secret savings!

Like last time,
she was right on the money about
where my husband was stashing
his secret savings!

May Script

I'm a hunter, but I haven't been
able to find work lately.
That's because there's some
woman called Alys who's getting
all the work.
Hey, well if it isn't Alys.
Why don't you send some work
my way once in a while.

Final Script

May Script

This is the prison.
You better not get too close.

Final Script

This is the prison.
You'd better not get too close.


Hmph...

May & August Scripts

Chaz, I don't think you should
get in their way when they're
paying their respects at the
grave.

Final Script

Chaz, I don't think you should
get in her way when she is
paying her respects at the
grave.

May Script

I recently move here
from Nalya.
My wife went to the market
and hasn't come back yet.
What is she doing?

Final Script

I recently moved here
from Nalya.
My wife went to the market
and hasn't come back yet.
What is she doing?

May Script

It seems like the town of Nalya
is in some kind of trouble.
I wonder if my daughter is
doing all right?
I'm so worried.
Come on, Stop sulking.
We should invite her over.

I wonder if my daughter is
doing all right?
I'm so worried.
Come on, stop sulking.
We should invite her over.

May Script

That's strange?
I could have sworn that I put
it away in here...
Hey!
My secret sav...
Yikes!
What the heck are you guys doing here!
Don't you have the decency to
at least knock!

Final Script

That's strange...
I could have sworn that I put
it away in here...
Hey!
My secret sav...
Yikes!
What the heck are you guys doing here?!
Don't you have the decency to
at least knock?!


Ah, Alys,
thank you for giving me that
food you cooked the other day.
It was all delicious.
I'll wash the containers and
return them to you.

May Script

Do you mean you can cook,
Alys?

Final Script

You can cook, Alys?

People are so unpredictable.

Final Script

People are so unpredictable!

May Script

Oh, cut it out.
What does it matter?

Final Script

Oh, cut it out.
What's the big deal?


May Script

I can't even go looking for him,
because I'm so afraid,
of the
monsters roaming outside
the town.
There's the option of asking for
help at the Hunters' Guild, but
would there be a hunter
who would go find a dog?

Final Script

There are monsters roaming
outside the town.

help at the Hunters' Guild, but

May Script

Why, it's Alys.
So you've finally come around
to
thinking of buying a place
in this town?

Final Script

Why, it's Alys.

So you're finally thinking of
buying a plot in this town?

Translation Notes
This building is right next to the graveyard, so "plot" is correct here.

May Script

Are you kidding!
I have no desire to have my
bones buried in a squalid town
like this!
When I'm old,
I'm going to lead a relaxing
lifestyle in a quieter place!

it's hard to carry everything.

Oof!

Come on, hurry up!
Quietly! Quietly!

Hey, wait, sis!
Don't leave me behind! Waaa!

What was that sound? Oooh!
Hey, you guys!
Hey you, wait!
Don't you dare run away!

Waaa. Please forgive us.

May & August Scripts

No way, you rascals!
You shameless brats!

Final Script

No way, you rascals!
You shameless brats!
Take them away!

Translation Notes
An extra line was added in the final draft to let the player know that these two delinquents have been taken to jail.

Waaaaa.

NPCs

May Script

This is just between you and
me...
The cave to the north of Aiedo
leads to the area
beyond the hills.
Everyone who's ever gone into
the cave has never come back
alive!
I wonder what is beyond that
cave!

cave?

May Script

Monsters have recently become
extremly strong making combat
with them difficult.
I better think about a new
profession pretty soon!

Final Script

Monsters have recently become
extremely strong, making combat

May Script

Hey, Alys! Your still as
attractive as ever.
Why don't you go out with me
once in a while?

Final Script

Hey, Alys! You're still as
attractive as ever.
Why don't you go out with me
once in a while?

Thanks. I'll consider it when
you become more of a man.


May Script

Are you insinuating that
I'm purposely withholding
information about the best jobs?
How dare you think that!
I will swear by my good name,
that kind of thing absolutely
never happens here!
Now please move along to the
front area!

Final Script

Are you insinuating that
I'm purposely withholding
information about the best jobs?
How dare you think that!
I swear by my good name that
that kind of thing absolutely
never happens here!
Now please go back to the
front area!

Translation Notes
The player has to pass by the front area first before getting to the back, so the final draft is more accurate.

May & August Scripts

'Everybody's hunter journels'?
I didn't know something like
this existed?!

Final Script

Hunter journals?
I didn't know something like
this existed!

Ahem!

Boy, it's lonesome...

Chaz & Alys's House#

May & August Scripts

It's a kitchen.
Of course it's clean since
they're washing it all the time.

Final Script

It's a kitchen.
Of course it's clean since
we're washing it all the time.

Translation Notes
Since this is Chaz and Alys's own kitchen, it doesn't make sense to use "they're" here.

May & August Scripts

It's a cabinet for dishes.
Of course it's neat since
they're always putting it in
order.

Final Script

It's a cabinet for dishes.
Of course it's neat since
we're always putting it in
order.
