It's not going to appear just
because you look longingly
for it!
Final Script
Stop wasting time, there's
nothing here!
Translation Notes
This is the only default "Check" line that takes up more than a single message box. This was thankfully fixed in later scripts...that would have gotten tedious with a quickness.
Come in and look around!
Come in and look around!
The 'Bayamare' gift store,
known throughout Termi!
Final Script
Come in and look around!
This is the Bayamare gift store,
known throughout Termi!
Translation Notes
Bayamare (バヤマーレ) was previously translated as "Baya Malay" in the English version of Phantasy Star. Baya Malay was home to multiple dungeons, including the most complex dungeon in the game, Baya Malay Tower.
Backing out of a purchase:
May & August Scripts
That won't do, silly!
Something else, eh?
Final Script
That won't do!

Will you buy something else,eh?
Final Script
Thanks, no...hey, wait,
you don't have enough money!
Will you buy something else, eh?
Both the principal and Hahn has asked us to inspect
the basement.
Final Script
Both the principal and Hahn have asked us to inspect
the basement.
May Script
Are you sure you didn't
steal the money!
August Script
Are you sure you're not just
trying to take my money!
Final Script
Are you sure you're not just
trying to take my money?
May Script
The old saying 'He who pursues
two rabbits gets two rabbits.'
sure fits this guy!
Final Script
Hey, you've already paid, so
don't cry over spilt milk.
Translation Notes
This is a deliberate inversion of the old aphorism, "He who chases two rabbits catches none" (二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず). This is taken directly from the Japanese version (二兎を追う者は、二兎を得ちゃ). The editor replaced that line with a more recognizable idiom.
May Script
I wonder if I'll be OK,
going with these people...
I wonder what that capsules
in the basement are for?
Translation Notes
The final draft remembered that there's more than one capsule but forgot to change "that" to "those."
May & August Scripts
I'm going to make the principal agree!
Hey, you!
You're comeing along too!
Final Script
I'm going to make the principal tell us!
Hey, you!
You're coming along too!
Translation Notes
In the Japanese version, Alys says she's going to settle things with the principal (学長に話をつけるよ！) Mysterious how that got translated to "make the principal agree", but the later English script salvages it.
We'll need the 'Eclipse Torch'
to defeat the man-eating trees!
We'll have to hurry and head for

Esper Mansion! Chaz! Stop walking so slow!
Argh! You and your short legs!

May Script
That means ･ we can finally
enter the Garuberk Tower!
Final Script
That means we can finally
enter the Garuberk Tower!
All right! People of Meese,
just you wait...
After obtaining the Elsydeon and returning to Motavia#
May Script
This is the final battle!
Let's go, to the giant hole
north of Piata!
To the thought of 'The Profound
Darkness!'
Final Script
This is the final battle!
Let's go!
We must face The Profound
Darkness!
Translation Notes
Chaz uses the kanji "懐" here, which is translated as "thought" here, but could also translate to "heart" or "bosom". Not a literal heart / bosom, figurative ones.
Chaz also points out where the hole is in the May draft, a detail that's missing from the later English scripts.
Yes, Chaz, let's go
and do battle together!
May Script
Operation check complete.
All systems are fully
functional.
Final Script
Operational checks complete.
All systems are fully
functional.
