Dernier Fantasy Huit?

[ReloadPsi]

Updating time!

Sorry about the delay here, although interest and response seems to have dropped somewhat. Here goes anyways.

The second Laguna dream is in here, and it kicks ass, especially Ward losing his voice...



Gatey the gate is called Chadan; it only gets angry if people leave without paying. I haven't looked up the name in any way, but something tells me it's named after the noise of the gate thudding into place. Probably not though, but I feel lazy :P




English: Girl Next Door
French: Porno Countess (Cochonou literally means "piggy" in French, and appears to be a slang term for pornography going off this)




"Which drink do you want? It's 100 gil per glass."
I decided to buy the drifter a drink instead, and was presented with this list. In both English and French, these are basically the different chocobo greens from FF7. From top to bottom: Krakka, Tantal, Gysahl, Mimett, Reagen, Sylkis.




Selphie: "All right! See? It's a peace proposal! I knew it!"
Remember Selphie's absurd remark about presenting the new worldwide superstar in the previous load? Yeah, kinda fell through here. She never mentioned a peace proposal before this.




Zell: "What a load of drivel, just to introduce an ambassador!"
Yeah, the choice of dialogue here is awesome :P




Deling: "My ambassador is a magician."




Squall: "What? A sorceress?"
No Squall, he said magician. Oh yeah, and this title will change a few more times too, but I'll get to that when it happens.




"So leave the paradise of childhood behind you, and enter the hell that is adulthood."





I forget the exact English lines, but they mention a legend of her cooking and her beauty, to which Selphie remarks "Yeah, the beauty part sure makes it sound like a legend." This time:

Girl: "Between her talents as a cook and a karateka, she'll just give him an earful."
Selphie: "Karateka cook?"




Next stop... (So the training centre isn't safe from the translators' photoshop skillz, but this place is?) By the way, the station was called "East Academy", rather than having a French name, but I forgot to take a screenshot.




Selphie adds a new line to her "trains" song, about it taking her "far from the zinzins." I bet she spent all morning thinking that up.





Linoa: "You're such a horrible leader! Does it amuse you so much to psychologically torture your teammates? Zell just wants some reassurance..."



Squall: (Look out everyone, here comes Linoa Freud! I wonder what would happen if you took this little psychology lesson to Seifer?"

Then Squall attempts to headbutt Linoa and misses, knocking himself out on the ground. Selphie and Quistis are pretty embarrassed as they were starting to find him kinda cute until just then, so they pass out too. Not to worry, Zell's got a valid explanation.



English: "I think they went to the dream world..."
Zell: "I think they went to the parallel universe..."




Laguna: "Something seems wrong with this place..."
-Just my imagination
-No, it's really strange



Laguna: "I've got this awful premonition! This place is so strange..."




Laguna: "You know what they say, right? Where there's a forest, there's fire."




Kiros: "You mean where there's smoke, right?




Ward: "Nah, it's where there's a stench, there's eggs."
(The French words "fumée" and "fumet" are pronounced exactly the same, meaning "smoke" and "scent" respectively.)



Laguna: "Great, we got two old academics. Weapons at the ready, let's move out!"





Laguna: "My grandmother always used to say..."
Kiros: "Let your grandmother rest in peace!"
Laguna: (Just you wait until I tell you what my grandfather used to say!)




Laguna: "It's a shame nobody can match my intelligence."
Ward: "You taking these Esthar cyborgs for morons or what?"

Yeah, cyborgs. They're explicitly referred to as such throughout the game; some of these same Esthar soldiers are even stated to be fully automated and totally artificial.





Laguna: "I kill two birds with one stone and you act like school-mistresses?!"
Ward: (If we could sit him in the corner...)
Kiros: (...and make him wear the dunce's cap!)



Shortly after that, Ondine learned "Clairvoyance", enabling me to find hidden Save Points and Magic Sources. Naturally this parellels "Move-Find".





English: "Don't tell me..." "...of all the worst possible..." "...predicaments?"
French: "This is becoming..." "...and major.." "...pain in the ass!"



"Soul Crush" keeps its English name.



Kiros: "I don't think we're out of the woods yet..."




Laguna: "Oh, don't be so defeatist! You'll only bring trouble upon us all! My grandmother used to say that 'it's when you talk about trouble that it comes'."



Ward: "In that case..."



Laguna: "In that case, what?"



Kiros: "I think I've got it..."



Ward: "I will not speak another word ever again."



Laguna: "What are you talking about?!"



Ward: "Not another word, until the very end! Bringing trouble on us is outta the question!"




Laguna: "Ward, it's just one of my grandmother's old sayings! I know how to make you speak..."



Laguna: "If I say that you're FAT, you'll say nothing?"


Ward: "NOTHING!"



Laguna: "Nothing?"


After Laguna tosses them over the cliff...



Laguna: "Such courage, guys! You're a real inspiration to me!"



Laguna: "It's really hiiiiiiiiiiiggghhh!"

Yeah, so the French translators decided not to let Ward lose his voice, but rather take a vow of silence. Anyone know which it was in the Japanese version?


Bestiary - Chapter 5

Esthar Soldier - Might be wrong, can't remember and it's late :P



S-Borg

Esthar soldier. Uses a firearm and a sword. His attacks are noteworthy, but he's not very tough.


Esthar Soldier - Anyone to confirm this for me?



T-Borg

"This cyborg is a replica of an Esthar soldier, but is far more powerful. Deals entirely with physical attacks."


Elastoid



Protesis

"Anti-personnel weapon from Esthar. Possesses an anti-gravity reactor and able to fly. Attacks with four flexible steel appendages."


Gesper



Elastos

"A failed weapon conceived over twenty years ago in Esthar. Attacks its allies as well as its enemies."
