This is the village of Mile.
And this is our newly built
sand worm ranch.
What do you think?
Isn't it cute? We're going to have a lot of
tourists!
Final Script
This is the village of Mile.
And this is our newly built
sand worm ranch.
What do you think?
Isn't it great? This will attract a lot of
tourists!
Translation Notes
The ranch went from "cute" to "great". It was "cute" in the Japanese text too, just in case you cared.
May Script
Did you see the quicksand outside?
It's spreading and spreading!
How long is this town going to
last?

See that castle beyond
the quicksand?
I could've sworn that one night
there was nothing and the next
day it was there.
It must've been my imagination..
don't you think?

It must've been my imagination,

May Script
Total destruction of Zema!!!
Really?
Someone go and make sure.
I, uh, I'm too busy,
so I can't go.
August Script
I've heared that Zema has been
destroyed!
Someone must go and make sure.
I, uh, I'm too busy,
so I can't go.
Final Script
I heard that Zema has been
destroyed!
Someone must go and make sure.
I, uh, I'm too busy,
so I can't go.
Translation Notes
Later in the game, this guard says, "Zema has been restored
! Is this true? Really?" Kinda ruins the callback when the original dialogue gets rewritten.
This line is one of the very few where the October prototype is different from the final game. It's almost the same as the final draft, but he says "I heared" instead of "I heard."
May Script
You say that a strange religion
is becoming popular recently?
They say it's being spread by
a man dressed in black!
What did they say
his name was...
Oh yes, Zio. Yeah, I believe
they said his name was Zio.
Final Script
It's said a strange religion is

I'm studying so that I can
enroll in Motavia Academy too.
Hey, ladies, don't bother me!
Final Script
I'm studying so that I can
enroll in Motavia Academy.
Hey, stop bothering me!
Translation Notes
After Alys leaves the party, all versions revert back to the May draft of the first line.
May Script
Ladies?!
Final Script
Kids...
Translation Notes
The guy originally called Alys oba-san -- usually used to refer to an aunt or a middle-aged woman -- which is why Alys reacts the way she does here.
May Script
Actually, we wanted him to keep
the family far going, but...
What with the fields in such a
state, I suppose there's no use.

If we leave it the way it is, sooner or later it's going to become a real problem.
At that point, it'll be too late.
It may have been a little cruel
to the sand worms, but it was
the right thing to do.
Mr. Hunter,
thank you for your help.
Final Script
If we left it the way it was, it would've become a real
problem. And at that point, it would have been too late.

to the sand worms, but it was

Mr. Hunter,
thank you for your help.
Translation Notes
Dialogue here was changed to past tense, since she only talks about this after the sand worm dies.
