Translation of Luin's (Aron's) quest, Phantasy Star III, Japanese version Notes: Name differences are noted below. If some of the Japanese name romanizations don't match the ones used in the Compendium translation, it's because I've finally given up on trying to figure out PS3's bizarre name changes and variants. An inconclusive attempt to hash things out can be found at http://www.sceneryrecalled.com/trans/ps3names.txt. In rough order of appearance, continued from Ain's quest: Kara --> Luna Skyhaven --> Clanclaire New Mota --> Foundry (probably not an exact translation, but it's the closest I've got, so it's staying) Neo Palm --> Neo Parma Many thanks to Neilast and Mike Ripplinger for use of the format employed in their PS3 English scripts - which can be found at http://www.phantasy-star.net/psiii/psiii.html, if you'd like to do some English vs. Japanese side-by-side comparisons.

Lein: I would like you to be my wife. Luise: ...yes... Narrator: Lein, who became king of the Violet Moon, told all, and the Laians and Orakians sheathed their swords. Soon, Lein and Luise brought a prince named Luin into the world, and Lune became the father of a princess named Luna. The people lived in peace, and their hopes were high and dreams great for Luin and Luna. The two grew into magnificent young adults...but... This is their story - the story of Luin Sa Riik and his cousin Luna Kay Eshyr. THE VIOLET MOON ----------------------------------------------------------- Soldier: Lord Lein! Lady Luise! Lord Lune! I-it's horrible! P-please, l-look out the window! (A spaceship identical to Alisa III appears.) Soldier: A ship that looks just like ours... (Laser fire is exchanged between the two vessels.) Soldier: T, the ships...are firing on each other... (The other ship is destroyed.) Luna: Lord Luin, what could be happening to our world... I was raised in a time of peace, unschooled in combat...but I am the daughter of Lune Kay Eshyr. Father cannot abandon his responsibilities as a king; therefore, I will accompany you in his stead. Narrator: Princess Luna joined the party! Lein: What could have happened down below?! Luin, my son - take Mieu and Searren with you and investigate! What was that second spaceship? And why were we firing on each other... Luise: Luin, my son... Luna, my niece... We had hoped that you two would succeed Lein and my brother... Please...you have to come back safely... Lune: Luin, my nephew... An age of war is upon is once again... I had thought that our world would be at peace forever... and raised my daughter Luna as a princess in that belief... But the Eshyrs are a warrior house. We do not back down from a fight. Take my Lune Slicer with you... Join forces with your cousin and come back safely! Soldiers: - Our ship fired first. I'm certain of it. But who would plot war, and for what purpose? - That bombardment altered the course of our ship. Do you think we'll be all right? - Before, when I was searching for Laia's Treasure, I heard of some people in possession of great knowledge who lived in a world of snow. Maybe they would know something about what's going on... We have some robot parts below; I think you could use them to go see those people! - Lady Laia once traveled with Lord Lein long ago. She returned to her slumber, but why don't you visit the desert world and enlist her help once again? PILOTA ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - The recent explosion threw our domed spaceship off course... Townspeople (Old Men): - We tried to correct our course, but there's an outside force that's interfering! We have no way of getting rid of it... Townspeople (Women): - Welcome to the village of Pilota, home to the pilots of the domed spaceship the Alisa III. Do you want to go to Lune's satellite, the Violet Moon? The entrance to our shuttlepad is at the end of the path that runs along the south of this village. - We can't see anything ahead of us on the course we're on now - just a black void... SOUTHERN GRANDIRECTA ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Old Men): - There were once some who opposed Lune in a cave far to the west. It seems they were hiding a machine that would enable one to search for the treasure of the desert world. I'm pretty sure it was a diving machine... Townspeople (Women): - The people of the village of Pilota, to the west, are those who now set the course of this ship. With Laia's Treasure, you could cross over to that village. GRANDIRECTA CASTLE ----------------------------------------------------------- Nobles: - Lord Rulakir dwells somewhere within our spaceship, the Alisa III. There is nothing to fear as long as Lord Rulakir survives! Soldiers: - Ohhh - that's a Searren-type robot, isn't it?! With the Submarine Parts, it can dive beneath the waves; with the Sky Parts, it can soar through the clouds; and with the Marine Parts, it can sail over the ocean! So they say; a truly all-purpose robot! King: - Have you heard? Lord Rulakir has resurfaced in this world, they say. Lord Rulakir is Lord Orakio's twin brother. And he is our new god! NORTHERN GRANDIRECTA ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - Welcome to the northern city of Glorious Grandirecta! Townspeople (Women): - On the other side of the castle lies the southern half of Grandirecta town. Leave there and head across the river to find the true pilots. HASATAKA ----------------------------------------------------------- Cyborgs: - VISITORS ARE RARE IN THE FORGOTTEN DESERT TOWN OF HASATAKA. - WE ARE AFRAID OF DAMAGING OUR FELLOW ROBOTS, SO WE REFUSE TO FIGHT. - THERE'S A WELLSPRING OF WATER THAT HAS APPEARED TO THE SOUTH THAT HAS NO APPARENT SOURCE. - AN ANDROID GONE MAD WANDERS THE DESERT. - IF YOU HAVE SUBMARINE PARTS, YOU CAN DIVE INTO THE SPRING AND FIND THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. DESERT WORLD ----------------------------------------------------------- Miun: Oh! You are Lord Orakio...I've been waiting to see you for... ...? NO! You're not Lord Orakio! You don't have his black sword! Oh! Where is my Lord Orakio? WHIRLPOOL ----------------------------------------------------------- Searren: There is an underground waterway. I will follow it and dive below. (Searren transforms into submersible mode and dives.) Narrator: You've surfaced in another world hidden beneath the desert dome... LAIA’S PALACE ----------------------------------------------------------- Old Men: - Lady Laia entrusted the future of 1,000 years hence to her young sister... - For 1,000 years, from generation to generation, we have protected our sleeping beauty... Over the ages, she has awoken for only one month every seven years... - The sleeping princess is the younger sister of the legendary goddess Laia. Her name is also Laia... The goddess of legend Laia gave her younger sister her own name. - If you wish to learn the truth, use Lady Laia's Star of Mystery to unlock the southwest cave and head for the world of snow! Laya: My name is Laia... I once traveled with your father, Lord Lein... When Lord Lein married Lady Luise, I returned to my slumber... I gave Lord Lein the Laia Pendant so that he could return here...but I suppose the time has already come for his son to set out on his own journey... Narrator: Laia joined the party! MYSTOKE ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Women): - Please, hurry to Mystoke Castle - those whose coming was foretold by legend... - The truth of Lady Laia and Lord Orakio will be revealed within Mystoke. - At last, Lady Laia's kin has come to Mystoke, the Castle of Silence... - Hold Laia's pendant to your ear, then tell its truth to Lune. You can reach Lune's Violet Moon from Pilota, south of Grandirecta. - You will be tested to see if you are worthy of the name of Laia. When you obtain the Laia Pendant, all of Laia's temples will open to you. CLANCLAIRE ----------------------------------------------------------- Cyborgs: - WELCOME TO THE WANDERING CASTLE OF CLANCLAIRE, KIN OF ORAKIO AND LAIA. - PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY MASTERS FROM ME... Old Men: - To conquer the unholy power that is trying to destroy the world, you will need the ultimate weapons. - The ultimate weapons are empowered by a special name! This name has been sealed away, to prevent these weapons from becoming too fearsome in their might. - The Arms of Legend are those weapons with which the heroes of old fought with their hearts and souls. There are five: Orakio's Sword, the Miun Claw, the Siren Shot, Laya's Bow, and the Lune Slicer! - The special name means "the weapon that is not a weapon" in the language of ancient Algol. It was once sealed away in Sage Isle...which lies in the world of the Laian lands your grandfather once visited! To go to Sage Isle, you will need the ancient machine that lies on the floor below. But can you claim it, I wonder? If you are confident, go and try. - If we learn the special name, we can use its power to transform the Arms of Legend into the world's mightiest weapons! FOUNDRY ----------------------------------------------------------- Old Men: - In this secret village of Foundry, thou shall learn of our lost heritage. - Heed well the words of the storytellers who keep our history alive. - Listen well! We are the descendants of the people of a planet called Parma... Parma, which was said to shine the most beautifully of all the planets in the Algol star system... The people there desired for little beyond what their loved ones gave them, and gave far more than for what their loved ones asked... and that was joy, for the Parmans. We - and you - are the descendants of the people of Parma. - Listen well! We are the descendants of the people of a planet called Parma... On mother Parma, our ancestors dwelled in happiness. But because of the Power Unholy, which is said to appear once every 1,000 years, our Parma was destroyed... - Listen well! We are the descendants of the people of a planet called Parma... 2,000 years ago, the heroes Ohario and Aina challenged the Power Unholy when it appeared on Parma. But.....they did not win........ - Listen well! We are the descendants of the people of a planet called Parma... Knowing Ohario and Aina had fallen, the people resolved to abandon Parma. In secret, they built a fleet of 400 ships. And, just before the Power Unholy destroyed Parma...the ships launched. - Listen well! We are the descendants of the people of a planet called Parma... The 400 ships tried to escape the Power Unholy. A part of that fell power, however, had already infiltrated our ships. One by one, the ships were destroyed, until, by the Age of Orakio and Laia, only two - the Alisa III and the Neo Parma - remained... YAATA ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - It seems that someone is directing the monsters and robots to attack the populace - someone not Laian, nor Orakian. Townspeople (Women): - Welcome to Yaata, the Port City - Robots aren't supposed to attack Orakians...what's going on? RIIK ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - Welcome to the royal city of Riik, Lord Luin! - Conflict between the Laians and the Orakians was supposed to be at an end; who could've... - What in the world could that have been?... Townspeople (Women): - Who could have attacked that ship that was just like ours? Woman Upstairs in Eastern House: - Is it true that we were attacked by another spaceship? Child Upstairs in Western House: - Lord Luin! Come back to OUR land! RIIK CASTLE ----------------------------------------------------------- Soldiers: - This country has no king... Lord Luin! Won't you return to us? HYURRI ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - The world has gone crazy! Robots battle Orakians; monsters fight Layans! Townspeople (Women): - Welcome to the Island Village, Hyurri, thou who bear the blood of heroes! SUNKEN TEMPLE ----------------------------------------------------------- Narrator: Pulled Orakio's sword from its resting place! ......? There are some words carved into the floor... "To its destruction shall I lead the world! My name is Dark Force!" Dark Force: Well done, ye who have freed my name from its bonds! Thanks to you, I can now manifest myself in this world once more! Allow me to repay the favor by destroying both you and your world! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Narrator: You have loosed the name of Dark Force upon the world and resurrected the Power Unholy. In your anger and despair, you have acquired the technique of ultimate destruction, Megiddo! DESERT WORLD ----------------------------------------------------------- Miun: Ahh! The black sword! You ARE Lord Orakio!... I'm so glad I was able to see my Lord Orakio again before I shut down... Narrator: Miun collapsed... RYSEL ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Women): - We in Rysel haven't forgotten how your grandfather once saved us... Child Upstairs in Technique Shop: - They say that long ago there were Laian lands across the sea, but they're now destroyed! AGOE ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Old Men): - The one-eyed knight of legend, Lyle, he whom they say fought through the flames...I met him just once, when I was young. Townspeople (Women): - Agoe, Country of the People of the Sword, is for now at peace. AGOE CASTLE ----------------------------------------------------------- Soldiers: - There are those who say they saw a robot crossing the sea... - I hear there's an island called "Sage Isle" in this dome... It'd sure be nice if the sages who live there would share some of their wisdom with me! Nobles: - Nothing but strange things have been happening around here lately... King: - I bid you fair welcome to Agoe Castle! SAGE ISLE ----------------------------------------------------------- - People call this place Sage Isle... - You wish to learn the sealed word, you say - that which in ancient Algol means "the weapon that is not a weapon"? - Fools! - Long ago, there were those who held all five weapons needed to break the seal. But their forces split in two, and the weapons were scattered to the winds... - If you wish to break the seal and learn the lost word, then gather together the scattered Arms of Legend! Siren: I fought with Lord Orakio 1,000 years ago, but Laia locked me away on Satellite. I swore vengeance on Laia. When Satellite drew near again, I finally had my chance, and I resumed killing Laians. I broke Lord Orakio's law... But here on Sage Isle, I learned of Lord Orakio's real enemy. I hope I can apologize to Lord Orakio and Laia in the next world... Narrator: Siren collapsed. SAGE ISLE (after speaking with Siren) ----------------------------------------------------------- Old Men: - People call this place Sage Isle... - The Arms of Legend you bear instill in us deep sadness... - All the Arms of Legend have been gathered together for the first time... - Perhaps the time has come to break the seal... - Listen well! We will now break the seal! "The weapon that is not a weapon"...that which was brought into this world to give it a brief glimmer of light... The name of "Nei"... Narrator: The beautiful ancient word of "Nei" has been revived! Through its power, Mieu has learned the Grantz technique! SAGE ISLE (after hearing the word Nei) ----------------------------------------------------------- - People call this place Sage Isle. - They say the greatest blemish on this world was born in an unblemished place... - Orakio's twin brother...it pains me to say it, but he has become tainted with evil... - Those weapons endowed with the name of Nei shall break down the world of lies... - With this, the events of 1,000 years ago shall be repeated! LOTT ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - Welcome to Lott, the Orakian Artisans' Village... - Long ago, I was walking along the beach when I saw a wounded, one-eyed dragon. He took off from the cape called the Dragon's Tail and headed across the sea. But his strength must've failed him along the way - with a howl of despair, he fell into the sea. No one will believe my story except my wife, Elina, but... Townspeople (Women): - I am Elina, wife of the head of the village, Quisto. FLOTRAAN ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Men): - Beneath this world lie the engines that propel our ship. We are the descendants of the engineers that made them run! Townspeople (Women): - Do you know why Flotraan is called the Castle of Power? Man Upstairs in Weapon Shop: - The descendants of the spaceship’s pilots live on the other side of the ship. It's always "do this!" "do that!" from them - what a bunch of loudmouths! LENSOL ----------------------------------------------------------- Townspeople (Old Men): - Welcome, Laians, to Lensol, the Castle of Lost Technology. - The people of this country have battled Laians for generations. But not now! It seems our true enemy lies elsewhere! LENSOL CASTLE ----------------------------------------------------------- Nobles: - Lord Rulakir is Lord Orakio's brother... He has used a strange power to keep himself alive for 1,000 years so that he can bring absolute peace to this world... Why, then, would someone from his realm attack another... Soldiers: - A long time ago, when I was young, a dragon smashed his way into the castle! He grabbed a woman from the dungeon, but I managed to wound his wing! King: - Well met, ye who are kin to Orakians and Laians both... I cannot dissuade you from continuing your search, but please be careful. There are hordes of robots and monsters pouring out of the cave to the east. Something lies in wait in the world beyond that cave... LASHUTE ----------------------------------------------------------- Nobles: - Please enjoy a good, long rest in our Holy Capital of Lashute. - The great king of this capital is Lord Rulakir... Orakio's elder twin brother... - A strange power has kept Lord Rulakir alive for 1,000 years... Guards: - Lord Rulakir lost his family in the war of 1,000 years ago... - Lord Rulakir dreams of a world of absolute peace... (The party speaks with Rulakir.) Rulakir: ...the waves break onto the shore...on a beach glistening with light... ...but...those very waves are inevitably drawn back into the ocean's dark depths... Just as I, no matter how desperately I struggle to protect my own life's joy, am inevitably overwhelmed... So is it with us all...and with you, ye of my blood. CLANCLAIRE (after hearing the word “Nei”) ----------------------------------------------------------- Cyborgs: - WELCOME TO THE WANDERING CASTLE OF CLANCLAIRE, KIN OF ORAKIO AND LAIA. - MY MASTERS...THEIR LIVES ARE NOW... Old Men: - Well done! You have obtained the lost name. - And so, we shall offer up our lives in prayer, and in exchange, the ultimate weapons shall be born. The Arms of Legend shall now become those that bear the name of Nei! - Destroy the dark one with the arms bearing the name of Nei... - Equip yourselves with the Nei weapons! - It seems as if our duties are at an end. LASHUTE (after gaining the Nei Weapons) ----------------------------------------------------------- Nobles: - Find your eternal rest in the Unholy Capital of Lashute! - We were the ones who stole Marina's memory and brought her to Riik! And in return, in his search for Marina, your grandfather called back the satellites for us! Thanks to him, Siren and Lune awakened and started a great war! - Laia closed the passageways between all the worlds out of fear that the war would spread. But your father opened them one after another for us! Guards: - How gracious of you to break the seal on the name of our god, Dark Force! Thanks to you, our god can now manifest himself in physical form. - You have done everything completely according to our plans! Die now, by the very foolishness that has been your undoing! Rulakir: So finally you have come, ye who bear the blood of my brother... I am he who has sold his soul to the God of Destruction, Dark Force... Do you know why? I lost my wife and child in the wars of 1,000 years ago... It was then that it came to me...that we have no need of this world! That it all...should cease to exist. (A battle between Rulakir and the party ensues. Rulakir is defeated.) Rulakir: So...you believe that strongly in the possibility of joy... Then go beyond, and destroy the dark god... Farewell... kin of my brother! Narrator: Rulakir has departed for the world where his wife and child await... (The party finds Dark Force in a chest in Lashute’s dungeon.) Dark Force: I am Dark Force! That which exists only to destroy! Your anger, suffering, and sorrow are my joy! Humanity shall never know happiness as long as I exist! Now it's your turn! Find your painful deaths in my embrace! (A battle between Dark Force and the party ensues. Dark Force is defeated.) Dark Force: Ha ha ha! Does it give you satisfaction to defeat me - the power that set the last lone ships in your pitiful fleet against each other; that destroyed one, and sent the other careening off course? But do you realize where I have this ship headed? Toward my hidden pitfall - a black hole! That shall be this ship's final destination! Narrator: Dark Force disappears Luin: To think that so many good people died because of these monsters...! Narrator: Luin's anger triggered the technique of ultimate destruction, Megiddo. (Luin casts Megiddo. Lashute begins to crumble.) Searren: The explosions from Megiddo are tearing the floating city apart! Luna: Hurry! We've got to get out of here! Laia: There's no time! We'll never make it! (Mieu casts Grantz.) Mieu: Please - spare those I love from any further pain! Narrator: Mieu's heartfelt wish activated the technique of light, Grantz! Through the power of Grantz, Mieu and the others were teleported outside the floating city! (Lashute falls from the sky.) Narrator: The floating city of the disciples of darkness sunk to the bottom of the lake... (The ship approaches a black hole.) Mieu: Luin! Look at the sky! Laia: The ship...it's headed for the black hole! We're...too late.... (The ship passes through and appears near a new planet.) Luna: ....?....It..looks like we've been unconscious for a long time... Searren: The constellations in the sky are different... It seems that we traveled through time and space when we passed through the black hole. Calculating by the positions of the stars, we appear to be 10,000 years in the past, in....?.... We are receiving a message from the planet ahead! The words appear greatly similar to the language of ancient Algol! I will read it! Voice: ...We don't know where you came from, but to the spaceship headed our way... ...We welcome you space travelers. Please respond. ...This is London Communications Center, from the Federation of Earth...
