Right. Here's the 3rd translation... trying to go in some chronological order, picking out the important scenes of the game. This one covers the second time you go to the Golden Saucer, in your quest to find the Keystone (Conversation with Dio, Date with Tifa/Aerith, and the Betrayal of Cait Sith). I've tried translating as accurately as possible, but I just couldn't go back and redo all of Claude's second dialogue choices...sorry :( ------------- (Dio's Showroom) Claude: (sees a crystal orb) The keystone... Dio: (muscled-figure in speedos walks up to Claude) Haaa ha ha hahahaha. I haven't sen you in a while, young man Hmmm? Oh, you want this? (looks at the keystone) The man who lives in a hut down south gave it to me. Ask him, if you want to know more about this. Claude: Can I borrow this? Dio: Ha...hahahaha. I'm sorry, I can't lend it. Hmmm... But I'm not saying exceptions can't be made... and I also owe your group an apology (for dropping them into the Corell Desert Prison without a proper trial). Claude: A conditional offer? Dio: Ha...hahaha! Entertainment would be nice. Claude: 1. What should I do >> (proceed with story) 2. I'm not interested. >> (most likely cuts the conversation right there) Dio: It's nothing difficult. This is a battle arena. Show me that adolescent strength of yours. You'll fight in the arena alone. * Battle * Dio: .... (disappointed at Claude's weakness.)... A promise is a promise. Take it (gives you the KEYSTONE). See you again, boy! Ha...hahahaha!! ---------- (at the station) Golden Saucer Employee: Excuse me sir... I regret to tell you that the cable is broken at the moment... Claude: Meaning... Employee: We're very sorry! You cannot leave until we repair it.. Cait Sith: (comes running toward Claude) What's wrong? (Claude explains) .... It happens sometimes. We'll just spend time at the hotel here. I've got connections with the owner. I'll go talk to him. Employee: We'll notify you as soon as it's fixed sir. ---------- (At the Ghost House Hotel, everyone is gathered in the lobby.) Cait: It's not often that we gather as a whole group. Claude-san, could you briefly explain to us what's going on? I joined your group just a while ago, and I need to know. Cid: Same here. Vince: Good idea. Barett: I've been around since the start, but everything's getting confusing now. Claude, tell 'em. Claude: 1. Look, I'm tired (skips the summary) 2. All right... >> Claude: *sighs*... We are searching for Sephiroth, and he's going to the Promised Land. Cid: Eh? Promised Land? Claude: The Shinra believe that its a place overflowing with profitable Makou energy. We don't know what kind of place it is, or its location. Aerith: The Setra people return to the Promised Land. It's their destiny to find peace and happiness there. Barret: Setra? What's Setra? Aerith: The Ancients used to call themselves that. Don't you remember, the elders at Cosmo Canyon told us? Barret: (scratches his head) Aerith: ...even the Ancients were not sure where the Promised Land was. They searched, they traveled... they felt its presence. Claude: Aerith... will you know where it is? Aerith: ....someday, maybe... Tifa: Is that why Sephiroth is roaming the land? Is he still looking? Aerith: (pauses)... I don't think that's the only reason... he's looking for something else too. Claude: the Black Materia... Cait: I heard from Dio-san, that a man with a black cloak asked for the Black Materia. Tifa: But we're not sure that the black cloak means Sephiroth. There are so many of them with black cloaks... remember? The ones with number tattoos. How many of them are they? Red: .... My tattoo says 13. Claude: Where did you get that number? Red: ...Hojo did it to me. All the other marks are scars, but this number was tattooed by Hojo. Tifa: So that means there are at least 13 of them!? Aerith: You know, I think the tattooed people are ones who Hojo experimented on, and they have a connection with Sephiroth... I don't exactly know but... Isn't it better just to track down Sephiroth for now? Barett: I agree with her. It's easier that way. Aerith: Also....... Nothing, sorry. I'm tired, I'm going to go sleep (runs upstairs) Cait: What's wrong with her, so suddenly? Yufi: Finished yet? I'm getting tired. (leaves) Cait: We're done talking already? What about the Black Materia? Claude: Even if we do discuss it, it won't do anything. Barret: We'll start again tomorrow. (leaves) Red: Claude.... (curls up on the floor, worried) I'm...number 13. Am I going to become insane someday, like the black robes? Tifa: (kneels next to Red) I don't know what Hojo did to you... but so far, you've been fine, right? But: But.... Tifa: It's alright.... But: But...I'm... Tifa: RED!! Stop sniffling!! Claude: Tifa?! Tifa: (ignores Claude) You're not the only one whose got things to worry about, OK!? Vince: Cid, I'm going upstairs (asking for keys) Cid: *Snores*... ------------- (Claude's room) Tifa: (knocks) Claude.... Claude: What's the matter? Tifa: .....oh no...I'm blushing... (takes a deep breath) Claude! (smiles) Do you want to go to the amusement park? (without waiting for an answer, whe pushes him out of the room) Let's go!! (the last time I did this scene, Aerith was Claude's date. This probably depends on who you have been nicer to throughout Midgard...dunno) ------------- (Golden Saucer Lobby) Worker: Tonight is Magical Night - when all the rides are ab-so-lute-ly FREE! You two there, there is a play at the Event Square, starting now! Tifa: Let's go! ------------- (Event Square/ Theater) Announcer: Congraaatuuu-LATIONS!! You two are the 100th couple enter this theater! You two are the lucky winners of the night to be the hero and heroine of our play! Claude: Eh!!? Announce: Nothing difficult. You act out however you like, and the professional supporting actors will improvise for you! This way please. Claude: H..hey... Tifa: Sounds cool, we're going to do this Claude. (Tifa runs to the stage eagerly while Claude remains reluctant) ---------- (the one-act-play/Stage) Narrator: This is the peaceful kingdom of Guardia... but a dark and evil shadow sweeps over the land...ohhh...the Evil Dragon Valvados kidnapped the beautiful Princess Ruza... But then!! The legendary hero Alfriede appeared in Guardia! Claude: (runs onto stage) Soldier: (sings) Youuuu-- are-- the-- legendary--hero--- Alfrie---de! Claude: (he misses the cue and stands there, not knowing what to do) Soldier: (whispers) I'm talking to YOU, Yes YOU!! Ahem! (sings, tries again) You are the legendary hero--- Alfrie----de!! Pleeeeze save our Prince---ss! Speak to his Majesty--- (kneels) King: Ohh...Sir Alfriede...You came to rescue my daughter---. The Evil Dragon Valvados' lair is in the steepest mountains--- my poor Luza is the prisoner----. But you can't win alone--- talk to these warriors---. (A magician and the soldier line up) Claude: To which one? 1. soldier >>Soldier: I am the anonymous soldier--- what do you want of me----? 2. magician Claude: (sings) 1. Kill the draaaaagon---!! 2. Kill our king!! (I picked this one) (Evil Dragon comes on stage, holding Tifa, the princess, as captive) Narrator: Alfriede...look at that.... Dragon: NO!! Don't you ignore me!! I...the Evil Dragon...I who kidnapped your Princess! (quickly adds) But I didn't do anything else. Tifa: Help me----- my hero-----!! (turns to the dragon and whispers) Sort of like this? Dragon: Alfriede, who--- is---- thy--- enemy!? Claude: 1. You--Evil Dragon!! 2. The King is my enemy---- (I picked this) King: NO!! It is the end!!! Tifa: (suddenly gets up, talks in her normal voice) CLAUDE!!! Take this seriously will you!? Are you telling me that you don't want to act because you don't enjoy being with me!? Thanks a lot CLAUDE!! (Tifa runs up to Claude, gives him a massive slap on the face which knocks him out) Dragon: Gaaaahahahaha!! I shall not be ignored!! Tifa: (now really in a bad mood, no mood for acting) Shut up!! (spin kicks the dragon and sends him flying off stage, audience cheers) Narrator: uh...uh... what a strong... Princess! The legendary HeroINE, Luza has saved the day... THE END!! -------------- (Golden Saucer Lobby) Tifa: Let's try the ferris wheel. -------------- (Ferris wheel ticketbooth) Tifa: Two tickets please. Ticketbooth: Enjoy the scenery. -------------- (Inside Ferris Wheel) Tifa: Look!! (says that each time, and you get to see very cool FMVs of the Golden Saucer, fireworks, chocobo racing etc.) Tifa: (after a while) It's so beautiful... (looks at Claude)....should I say it... Claude: Say what? Tifa: Aerith would have the guts to say it... It's hard being childhood sweethearts Claude... I can't get the right timing (smiles). Claude: Eh? Tifa: Claude...I..... (C'mon Tifa, you can say it! :) (but the Ferris Wheel ride ends without her finishing this sentence) ------------ (at the ticket booth) Tifa: Claude, I really had a good time. Claude: What were you saying before that? Tifa: N..nothing.....nothing.... Claude: ?? Tifa: It's so late now...let's go back. ------------- (Golden Saucer Lobby, Cait Sith is snooping around, looking left and right, checking to see that no one's there. He turns around and does not notice Claude and Tifa who just came back) Tifa: Isn't that Cait Sith? What's he doing? Claude: !! Cait: (holds up the keystone) Claude: He has the keystone! Hey!! Cait Sith!! Cait: (runs away) --------------- (outside the chocobo race bookmaker's office, a helicopter hovers) Cait: Here! Catch! (throws the keystone at Zwong (leader of the Tarx, who's in the chopper) Zwong: Thank you, and good work. (the helicopter leaves) --------------- Claude: (finally catches up to Cait Sith) Hey you!! Cait: WwwwWait, Wait... Look...I'm not going to run or hide. Yes, I was a spy. I work for the Shinra company. Tifa: You've gotta be kidding... Cait: What's done is done! I can do nothing about it. We'll still be friends... as if nothing happened? Claude: How can you...How can we let you tag along when you were a spy!! Cait: (getting defensive) What are you going to do now Claude, huh? Kill me? It won't do you anything Claude! Because, my real body is safe at Midgard. This is just one of my robots under remote control. Tifa: Then who exactly are you? Cait: I can't tell you. Claude: Pathetic... Cait: Yes, I think so too. So, let's be rational here and quit arguing. We'll continue with our normal journey and- Claude: SHUT UP!! Cait: ....yes, I am one of the Shinra. But that doesn't mean I'm completely your enemy...You all puzzle me, the way you live. No one PAYS you, no one encourages you... but you all risk your lives for this journey. I started to reflect on my own life. You've taught me something...that I can't end my own life the way I've been living so far...there's room to improve. Tifa: He's bluffing again... Claude: You won't tell us WHO YOU ARE, you still continue to be a SPY... We can't. We just can't travel with someone like you. I can't take any more of your dumb jokes, Cait. Cait: ....We can't get to an agreement. Well, I did prepare for the worst. (takes out a mobile phone and dials a number) Phone: (little girl's voice) Daddy!! Tifa!!! Tifa: Marin!!?? (Barett's stepdaughter) Phone: Tifa!? Tifa! HELP!! Cait: (puts away the phone)...So. There you have it. You will obey my orders from now on. Claude: (disgusted) ....You...are...the lowest piece of scum- Cait: I don't enjoy this either Claude, the use of hostages. But... no use talking now. We will remain as 'friends', oh yeah...you didn't know this. The Keystone opens the door to the Temple of the Ancients. I'll tell you its location later. You will et there a bit later than us Shinra...but I know you will be patient. (leaves) Claude: ....we can't do anything...We have to do what he says. Tifa: Marin.... ---------------- the end for now. I'll try to get the 'Temple of the Ancients - Sephiroth's Motive' done as soon as possible. I hope you enjoyed this- Cathy --
