But, as Higins says, no country in North Parmecia has enough power to resist them...
|
April Script
So, I was going to the
south to look for some
supporters. |
|
Final Script
So, I was heading south to
find some allies. |

No problem. I don't know
why, but I feel very good
since that devil left my body. |
|
Final Script
No problem. I don't know
why, but I'm much better. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Notes
A small bit of detail was lost here; Higins's demonic possession healed his body.
However that works. |
|
|
|
The force heads northeast to Pacalon...
Pacalon Castle#
'''''Pacalon has dried up. There hasn't been rain in quite some time, so all of their crops have died. They stop by to see the king, as Higins wanted.
|
April Script
May I ask you a favor?
Please go and save Mitula.
She's in Tristan.
We will be ruined by a
drought long before the
devils destroy us. |
|
Final Script
May I ask you a favor?
Please save Mitula.
She's in Tristan.
We will be ruined by the
drought long before the
devils destroy us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's one more objective, at least.
Moun Field#

Where did you come from?
Where are you going? |
|
Final Script
Where did you come from?

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
You'll have to die if
you won't obey us! |
|
Final Script
Even if you didn't know,
that's just to bad. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Notes
The rewritten line introduced some bad grammar -- "to bad" -- that was left in the final script. |
|
|
|
Minutes later, there is no longer a blockade of demons.
Pangoat Valley#
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Astral motions towards a large bridge hanging above a wide river. Worm-like enemies are eating holes through it. Then, a voice cries out! There's a woman on the bridge, surrouned by monsters.
|
April Script
Look!
She's stranded at the
middle of the bridge. |
|
Final Script
Look!
She's stranded on the
bridge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Notes
She's not in the middle of the bridge, hence the rewrite. |
|
|
|
|
April Script
Get away from the bridge
before it falls into the
valley! |
|
Final Script
Get away from the bridge
before it falls into the
river! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The woman says she sprained her ankle, the #1 cause of feminine injury in fiction! It's up to Bowie and his crew to stop the worms, wipe out the demons, and save the girl.
So they go do that.
|
April Script
Thank you very much.
Excuse me...can you hold
my arm? |
|
June Script
Thank you very much.
Excuse me, will you hold
my arm? |
|
Final Script
Thank you very much.
Excuse me, will you help
me up? |
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Notes
Apparently even "hold my arm" was too risque for the following dialogue. |
|
|
|
'Bowie starts to walk over, but Astral quickly pushes him aside.
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|

The woman climbs onto Astral's back.
|
April Script
You're very kind to
beautiful women.... |
|
Final Script
You sure are being nice.
Hmm.... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Notes
Another example of Astral's lecherous nature being toned down. |
|
|
|
The group starts to head east, but Astral stops them.
|
April Script
What? You don't want to
go to Tristan? |
|

Zeon told us to bring it
to the Ancient Tower.
Was that a lie?
I don't think he told a
lie. He's the King of
kings... |
|
Final Script
Zeon told US to bring it to
the Ancient Tower.
He didn't mention you.
And since we've never heard
of you, you're not getting
the jewel! |

Astral's rejection was rewritten from being derisive to being haughty. |

And so they walk on, because if they just stood there they wouldn't make much progress at all, would they? No. On to Tristan (Isolde not included).
Area Dialogue#
Ketto#
Oh, right, Ketto. This town is by the North Cliff exit. Not necessary to progressing the story, but it's interesting at least. The devils have this town under close watch.
Anyway, this guy's complaining about the heat.

Is Mitula sick as the
rumor says? |
