Zio burns this town to the ground after the party finds Professor Holt. If they visit Molcum before that point, they're greeted by two guards that prevent further entry.
May Script
This is the Motavian village of
Molcum, but...
Parmanians, go home!
I won't let you enter!
Final Script
This is the Motavian village of
Molcum.
Parmanians are now allowed in
our village.
An insulated cave northeast of the town of Zosa is home to the last of the Musk Cat race.
May Script
It's very rare that a human
would enter this place, meow.
Final Script
Very seldom do humans
enter this place, meow.
May Script
Good of you to come, visitors.
I'm the chief of this valley.
Hmm, you have good eyes.
No wonder you were let through.
It's really strange...
I have a feeling that
we've met before.
I feel all right
about putting this in your care.
This is a treasure
that has been passed
on generation after generation. Go take it with you.
It's the 'Silver Tusk!'

I have a feeling that this is
not the first time we've met.

It's the Silver Tusk!
One big reference to the first Phantasy Star game. Not much to do or see here, but at least they sell Trimate.
May Script
Just once, I'd like to go to
the main land!
I hear that there's a Motavia
Academy full of cultured people,
and a marketplace that sells
everything!
Final Script
Just once, I'd like to go to
the mainland!

Final Script
Our family has been a music-
loving bunch for generations.
One of our ancestors really
loved playing the flute...
Translation Notes
This guy is talking about an item from the original Phantasy Star. It was called the Soothe Flute in the Japanese game, but in the English version, it's just "Flute". "A flute called Flute" is redundant, so the line was rewritten.
May Script
Do you know about the mantle
called the 'Frade Mantle?'
It's light, but they say
it has great protective powers.
Final Script
Do you know about the cloak
called the 'Frade Mantle?'
It's light, but they say
it has great protective powers.
Translation Notes
More dialogue changed for reasons of redundancy.
If the player tries to get into the fort before fighting the robots in Zema, they'll be met with disappointment:
What is this?
Do not touch that light.
It is a powerful force field.
What kind of place is this?
May Script
Not much data is left, but
it appears it used to be a
research facility under the immediate control of
the Motavian army.
For some reason, it was sealed
up a few years after 'The Great Destruction'. It is in a state where a portion
of the system is
Final Script
Not much data is available, but
it appears that it used to be a
research facility under the direct control of the
Motavian army.
For some reason, it was sealed
up a few years after
The Great Collapse.
The perimeter security system is the only thing remaining active.
Translation Notes
The May script uses a different translation for The Great Collapse here. Looks like it also ran out of room on the last line.
I wonder if we can get in?
Unfortunately, no.
Even I don't know Seed's
release codes.
May Script
FLgH78onWe can't get in...
Final Script
We can't get in...
Translation Notes
The pointer for this line is a few bytes before the actual text in the prototype, causing it to print out garbage characters at the start. Chaz's picture doesn't show up until the proper string starts.
Demi's reintroduction text at the end of the game has a few changes:
May Script
The system in Motavia is
completely functioning now!
I can now accompany you all
without any misgivings!
You can't have the person
in charge of Motavia not go!
Final Script
The systems in Motavia are
completely functioning now!
I can accompany you
without any misgivings!
You can't have the person
in charge of Motavia not go!
And there are a few more changes for when characters rejoin the party:
May Script
All right!
This time I'll stay untill
the very end for sure!
Final Script
All right!
This time I'll stay until
the very end for sure!
May Script
Right on! Just leave it up to this big sister,Kyra!
