NPCs

May Script

This is Tonoe...
Hey! You guys!
How did you get in here?

Final Script

This is Tonoe...
Hey!
How did you get in here?

Translation Notes
All versions revert back to the May draft of this dialogue once Gryz joins the party.

May Script

Outta my way! Hey guys,
stop roaming around aimlessly!

Final Script

Outta my way! And, stop roaming
around aimlessly!

May Script

Our pride and joy is
the refined art of Titanium.
I bet you've never seen a weapon
of Titanium in towns in Parma,
have you?

Final Script

Our pride and joy is
the refined art of Titanium.
I bet you've never seen a weapon
of Titanium in any of your
towns, have you?

Translation Notes
The May line should probably say "in Parmanian towns", as in towns inhabited by Parmanians.

May Script

Oh sure, if you make all
different kinds of things
you're bound to have many
failures too.
Success is arrived at
through numerous failures!

Final Script

Oh sure, if you make the best
you're bound to have many
failures too.

Success is arrived at
through numerous failures!

Translation Notes
This area of the game wasn't translated particularly well. The May line sort of makes sense, assuming that he's either talking about the would-be chef, or they meant "try" instead of "make". The final line seems incomprehensible.

Objects

May Script

This looks like food...
But, I better not eat it.

Final Script

This looks like food...
...I think.

Translation Notes
Most of the empty stall dialogue was rewritten, for better or worse.

May Script

He's glaring at me...
Better not get too close.

Final Script

He's glaring at me...
Let's move on.

Hey. It's a Parmanian! H...help.

May Script

Don't worry,
I'm not going to eat it.

Final Script

Don't worry,
I'm not going to hurt you.

Translation Notes
By "it" they obviously meant the food mentioned earlier.

May Script

Hmm...

Final Script

Go away!

Translation Notes
Guy went from passive-aggressive to just plain aggressive.

May Script

Stop ignoring me.

Final Script

How rude.

Translation Notes
Chaz's response was changed accordingly.

May Script

You Parmanians,
what have you come here for?
Go away, go away!

Final Script

You Parmanians, why are you
here? Go away, go away!

May Script

Oh? It's a Parmanian.
We ain't have anything to sell
to you!

Final Script

Oh? It's a Parmanian.
We don't have anything to sell
to you!

NPCs

May Script

My husband likes to sit lost in
thought.
He's probably thinking about
something somewhere right now.

Final Script

My husband likes to sit lost in
thought.
He's probably somewhere thinking
about something right now.

May Script

If I may say so myself, I'm
pretty good at making machines,
but I'm no good at cooking.
I'd like to bake a cake like
this, but I wonder how it'll
turn out?

Final Script

If I may say so myself, I'm
pretty good at making machines,
but I'm no good at cooking.
I'd like to bake a cake.

Translation Notes
It's not clear what "bake a cake like this" means from context - it's an oddly translated line. Whoever edited it must have thought so too, because it was deleted after the May draft.

Objects

May Script

Here's some cheap soda
all in a row.

Final Script

Here's some generic soda.

Translation Notes
Another soda line rewritten. They didn't try very hard with this one, though.

May Script

This looks like a cabinet.

Final Script

It's a cabinet.

Translation Notes
Chaz takes a brave stance against weasel words.

Warehouse Basement#

May Script

The door is sealed shut
tightly...

Final Script

The door is sealed tightly shut.
