All better.

He asked for the original US translation, but it's nice to learn something new. Thanks, 'Kishi.

[Sefie1999AD]

Kishi, you rule! Is there something else you can translate from the Japanese version, like Garland's final speech about time-loop?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Actual dialogue is a lot more complex to translate than spell names, so I'd rather just go with Origins on that one.

[DJZen]

But that dialogue makes no sense! *cries*

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Especially considering how many different times it's been translated--the NES version, Origins, fan translations, and now the upcoming GBA version, which inexplicably seems to be getting its own translation--I seriously doubt there's any way to translate it that will make it make any sense. It is, after all, time travel.

It is rather difficult to explain paradox, isn't it?
