Fugue in F Minor

Last Chapter!

Insert disclaimer.

---

Tidus: I will, without fail, return Yuna to Spira.

Tidus: That was my hope.

Tidus: But Yuna was not Yuna…

Tidus: And disappeared before my eyes.

Tidus: Even if the Yuna that disappeared was a fake, the pain I felt was real.

---

Echo: Well, what are you going to do from now on?

Wol: It depends on Tidus’s hope.

Echo: Speaking of “hope”…

Wol: Even if he said “return Yuna to Spira”, that Yuna is a fake and disappeared.

Echo: Does that mean the meaning to Tidus’s efforts is gone?

Wol: Even so, until he said “let’s give up,” I will tag along.

Wol: Gather lights into the crystal.

Echo: Are you feeling sorry because you lied to Tidus?

Wol: Yuna said “light will become hope”.

Wol: There should be hope for him to return to Spira.

Echo: But Tidus said he has no hope and can’t go on.

Wol: As expected, it depends on his hope…

---

Wol: There is a switch on the floor. Is that also a trial for summoners?

Tidus: ……

Wol: …Is that so. Got it. After Yuna disappeared, you don’t want to keep going.

Echo: Wa..wait you. Be a bit more considerate….

Wol: There is no meaning to glossing over the truth.

Wol: Even though you were fighting for Yuna, Yuna disappeared…it’s normal for you to be down.

Tidus: …is it alright for me to be down?

Wol: Really sink all the way to the bottom. It'll be fine if you float back up.

Tidus: I just keep on giving you trouble.

Wol: Thanks to that I’m not bored. It keeps things interesting.

Tidus: Hey, don’t be amused!

Tidus: Even if you told me to “sink”

Tidus: I’m a blitzball player. If I dive seriously, I won’t come up for a while?

Wol: Dive all you like. I will wait until you run out of breath.

The last part to Part One.

Insert disclaimer here.

---

Tidus: Where is Yuna?

Wol: She’ll come later.

Tidus: Is that so.

Wol: There is something I want to talk about.

Tidus: About whether I am going back or not?

Wol: I don’t know why you’re glossing over this. If you are prepared to return Yuna, it’s fine if you return as well on the way.

Tidus: There is no “on the way”

---

Wol: You disappeared from Spira. Is that why you don’t want to return?

Tidus: I am something like a dream.

Tidus: An illusion like the aeons….I am not human.

Wol: What’s going to happen to Yuna?

Tidus: It’s been decided. She will return to Spira and be happy.

Tidus: In a world without Sin, I want her to live happily.

Tidus: It would be great for her to forget someone like me, who has disappeared, and live happily.

Yuna: ….Is that so.

Tidus: Yuna.

Yuna: Sorry. I didn’t understand anything.

Yuna: Not understanding your feelings, I was the one who drove you into a corner.

Tidus: Yuna!

---

Tidus: Yuna!

Wol: …What is the meaning of this?

Tidus: That guy!

Yuna: Listen.

Yuna: In a world without Sin, you wanted Yuna to live happily.

Yuna: That is your wish, right?

Tidus: …Yeah.

Yuna: It’s fine. Yuna is happy.

Tidus: …Yuna?

Yuna: But, Yuna was living happily –

Yuna: It is not because she forgot about you.

Yuna: It is because she was always thinking about you, who is no longer with her.

Yuna: It is because she wants to see you again one day and laugh together.

Yuna: And say “welcome back”

Tidus: Yuna…No, you’re not Yuna…?

Yuna: Hmm. I’m not Yuna.

Yuna: I am an illusion that deceived you.

Yuna: While trying to help you, I confused you and drove you to a corner –

Yuna: An imitation.

Yuna: The illusion that should disappear, is me.

Tidus: Yuna!

Yuna: We don’t need false hopes.

Tidus: Did you know that Yuna…was not Yuna?

Wol: …Sorry.

Tidus: I was happy that I was able to see Yuna.

Tidus: But…it was an illusion.

Tidus: That’s rough.

Tidus: An important person suddenly disappeared before my eyes.

Resuming after a short hiatus. I will try my best to update but not sure when I will be able to get around to it.

Also I am not as careful with the translation as I used to be. Sorry about that.

---

Tidus: I’m going ahead!

Echo: Wait a minute!

Echo: Tell us properly whether you want to go back to Spira or not --

Tidus: See you!

Echo: …Argh. Tidus doesn't want to talk at all.

Wol: I don’t think he is someone who glosses over important things.

Yuna: He didn’t want people to worry. But, because he is bad at lying, he didn’t say anything.

Yuna: When the fight with “Sin” ended, he hid the fact that he was going to disappear until that moment.

Echo: Huh…

Echo: Then Yuna didn’t know Tidus would disappear?

Echo: After defeating Sin and celebrating that, all of a sudden Tidus disappeared?

Echo: Wow…that was rough.

Yuna: That’s why I want to save the two of them…

Yuna: It’s my wish…my hope.

---

Wol: Looks like Tidus went ahead.

Echo: I hope he didn’t become lost again…

Wol: Before he becomes lost and whistles, let’s settle things quickly.

---

Echo: That’s an altar even more amazing than the one before. But, as expected…

Wol: It won’t move if there is no key. Accept that reality, face forward and challenge the trials.

Echo: Not accepting a pointless quest and thinking up this kind of dumb reason, you are facing forward (Note 1).

---

Yuna: Here, seems like we can open a new path if the floating island moves. (Note 2)

Echo: Open a new path means we can go on that way?

Wol: The pyreflies are gathering on the other side. Let’s find a way to move it.

---

Wol: Finally.

Echo: We can go on ahead with this.

---

Another rough translation that I did in half an hour in exhaustion. To be honest I am just doing it as a distraction because there is something going on irl now. So be warned about its accuracy.

---

Echo: A~gain. Looks like another complicated beginning. The troublesome trials that you like.

Wol: I don’t particularly like troubles. Trouble likes me.

Tidus: ….that’s a novel way of thinking.

Wol: Well, there are no trials that are not troublesome.

Tidus: Well, it’s true that the trials in the temples were troublesome.

Echo: The both of you have gone through a lot.

Wol: Let’s go.

---

Echo: Tidus is motivated and the crystal’s light felt pretty good.

Echo: At the rate things are going, it seems like you can return to Spira using the light of hope?

Yuna: …I don’t know. His wish is to “return Yuna to Spira”. Whether he wants to return himself or not…

Wol: Rather than he doesn’t want to return, it’s probably that he has no hope of returning.

Yuna: What can I do to change that?

Wol: His resolve to “return Yuna to Spira” is real. I don’t think it’s something that can be changed by other people’s words.

Yuna: If I were the real Yuna, what would I do at a time like this…

Wol: Well, you are not the real thing

Wol: There is no meaning to thinking “If I were the real thing what would I do”. Don’t worry about that and just think.

Echo: What if you tell Tidus everything?

Echo: “I am not the real Yuna, but….”

Echo: “I want to return to Spira together”

Echo: Why don’t you just tell him frankly how you feel?

Yuna: …I’m scared.

Yuna: If I were Yuna, he might believe me.

Yuna: But, as a fake…I’m scared. 

Wol: …Is that so.

---

Wol: Looks like things are going well.

Tidus: Thanks to you.

Echo: You’re not tired?

Tidus: Not at all.

Tidus: I have to make this shine more and return Yuna home.

Wol: That’s a good opportunity. I want you to answer me frankly.

Tidus: What?

Wol: You fight in order to return Yuna home. I understand your resolve well.

Wol: But what about you? It looks like you don’t want to return to Spira.

Tidus: …That might be true.

Yuna: Why!?

Tidus: …I can’t say.

The translation this time is really rough. I did this in like 20 minutes after midnight and I am exhausted. But if I don't do a little of this every day it will never be done. You have been warned.  

---

Wol: The seal disappeared…Did it accept summoners?

Tidus: Spira’s summoners, all of them aimed to come to this place and journeyed.

Tidus: Only the summoners who gained strength during the journey to train and arrived at this place will be granted the strength to defeat “Sin”.

Echo: Then, this is a holy ground for summoners?

Tidus: The truth, however, was…”a false hope”. Summoners were only sacrificed…

Echo: Summoners were sacrificed? …Isn’t it dangerous to go in there?

Yuna: Even if it’s dangerous, hope is here.

Tidus: Let’s go.

---

Tidus: They’re called pyreflies. They respond to people’s emotions.

Yuna: The pyreflies showed us, “light will become strength”.

Tidus: Light?

Tidus: A crystal?

Yuna: Pour your emotions.

Echo: It’s shining…but weakly.

Yuna: The light of hope will guide us to Spira.

Yuna: The pyreflies that fill this place will become our light.

Yuna: Let’s go around to places where they gather.

Echo: If we gather those things called pyreflies, you can go back to Spira?

Yuna: Just gathering them won't be enough.

Yuna: Because the power of pyreflies responds to people’s emotions.

Yuna: It will become the light of hope for the one who holds the crystal.

Wol: If the crystal becomes brighter, you will be able to return.

Tidus: If it’s hope, it’s been decided. It’s to return Yuna to Spira, without fail.

Tidus: It’s still not enough.

Tidus: Let’s look for the pyreflies. They will become or “light of hope”.

---

Wol: The road is closed. This is also a trial?

Yuna: Summoners…the fruits of their training are being tested. Whether they were prepared to follow through until the very end.

Wol: If it is testing that result, then there has to be a switch somewhere.

Yuna: If we look for the key that can operate the switch, we can open the road.

Wol: That’s simple.

Tidus: Don’t be careless . This place tests your resolve.

Echo: It’ll be fine it’ll be fine! This boy’s resolve has been decided. When the time comes, he will sacrifice himself.

Insert disclaimer.

---

Tidus: Can I go by myself?

Wol: Can you fight?

Tidus: There is something I want to try. 

Wol: …Be careful.

Tidus: Got it.

Echo: Is it alright to let him go?

Wol: He’s not the type to listen. Seems like he has a plan.

---

Wol: How did the thing you wanted to try go?

Tidus: It went well.

Echo: It was brighter than before!

Tidus: My hope is to return Yuna to Spira.

Tidus: I thought that, if I defeat enemies that interfered with that, my hope will be closer to reality and I will become stronger.

Wol: If your hope becomes stronger, the light of the crystal will become stronger–

Tidus: It also becomes my strength to fight. In Palamecia, hope is power, right?

Tidus: The light of the crystal will guide us towards Spira. I will do something about it.

Tidus: You will be able to meet everyone in Spira soon.  

Yuna: Hmm… Thank you.

Tidus: Great! Let’s keep going like this.

---

Wol: Looks like there are more trials…

Echo: This is a pretty mean holy ground.

Tidus: Is this way blocked too?

Wol: No. Looks like a dead end.

I have recorded a majority of the cutscenes this time as I played but not the final ones when I was playing on my phone. Hopefully by that time someone would have put up videos on youtube. :S

Insert disclaimer here.

---

Tidus: This is probably the last chance.

Tidus: That’s why, I want to say everything in advance. (Note 1)

Tidus: The world of hope abound, Palamecia.

Tidus: In the world I drifted to, Yuna and I aimed to be the Warrior of Light together.

Tidus: That way of living is not so bad…or so I thought, but

Tidus: Because I am a heretic, I can’t become the Warrior of Light.

Tidus: I have no place in this world.

Tidus: …There was no hope.

Tidus: But Yuna said, “There is hope to return to Spira.”

Tidus: If that’s the case, it’s clear what I have to do.

Tidus: I must, without fail, return Yuna to Spira.

---

Wol: You’re going back too, right?

Tidus: ….If I can.

Wol: How confident are you?

Tidus: I am prepared.

---

Echo: I don’t really understand what Tidus is thinking.

Echo: He wants to return Yuna to Spira, but it looks like he doesn’t want to go back himself.

Wol: It doesn’t seem like he hates returning…

Wol: He said “I disappeared.” It’s as if he thinks even if he were able to go back to Spira, he wouldn’t have a place there.

Echo: Even so, your place is something that you make.

Echo:  To begin with, from where he lived, he got thrown into a world he didn’t know all of a sudden.

Echo: Despite that, he met Yuna and other comrades, and in the world called Spira, he tried to make his own place.

Wol: Having done so, he turned his back on the place that he made for himself.

Wol: He accepted the fact that he was going to disappeared, prepared for it and went through with it.

Wol: It shouldn't be the case that he wanted to disappear. Despite that, he said farewell to Spira.

Echo: He probably gave it lots and lots of thoughts and decided.

Wol: If I were him, I wouldn't want anyone to say anything to me.  

---

Sorry about the delay. I was going to go back to see if I have missed and textbox conversation. But I got lazy and didn’t do it. Anywho, end of Chapter 4!

Insert disclaimer here.

—

Yuna: Hmm…about what we talked about before.

Wol: About your wishes?

Yuna: Yes…I want to return him to Spira.

Echo: I understand how you feel.

Wol: The problem is there is no way of getting out of Palamecia.

Yuna: …It may be possible.

Wol: Really?

Yuna: We are heretics, non-humans that are not supposed to exist in this world.

Yuna: If we are exceptions that are rejected from the structure of this world

Yuna: We should also be able to become exceptions that can escape the frameworld of this world.

Echo: To be pushed out of Palamecia rule…?

Wol: Not human…huh? Do you have any idea how?

Yuna: It’s an “if”…but…

Yuna: There is hope.

—

*whistle*

Yuna: The whistle…

Wol: It’s very close.  You should be able to meet soon.

Echo: Then tell us before that. If there is hope to return to Spira, why don’t you do that from the beginning?

Yuna: That…it’s because he didn’t wish for it.

Yuna: You should be able to tell too.

Yuna: He wanted to become the Warrior of Light because he wanted to give up on Spira.

Wol: …That’s right. He was probably convinced that he can’t go back.

Wol: He said “I disappeared” a lot.

Wol: …He disappeared after he prepared for it.

Echo: That’s why he didn’t want to go back? Normally, one would want to go back if he can.

Wol: Normal people would not have the resolve to prepare themselves for disappearing.

Wol: It’s impossible for me. Even though it looks light, his resolve was not half-hearted.

Echo: Tidus’s mind is set. He won’t change his decision.

Yuna: But if we don’t change that

Yuna: If he didn’t wish from his heart to return to Spira, it can’t be reached.

Wol: It should be possible.

Wol: Putting aside whether he could go back himself, he wants to “return Yuna to Spira”.

Yuna: Even a fake like me…

Wol: Lies are convenient.

*whistle*

Echo: We have to go flying.

Yuna: Hm.

—

Tidus: I’m glad…Where did you go?

Yuna: Sorry…

Echo: It should be us asking you where you went!

Echo: How much have you wandered around because you were worried about Yuna?

Echo: Frankly, it took more time to find you than to find Yuna!

Tidus: I took off without knowing it…my bad.

Wol: It’s great for you to have spirit. More importantly, Yuna has something to say.

Yuna: Yes.

Tidus: Something to say?

Yuna: Listen.

Yuna: There is hope for us to return to Spira.

Tidus: Return to Spira –

—

Tidus: A place connecting Palamecia and Spira…

Tidus: Is there a place like that?

Echo: It’s only a legend

Echo: There may be an overlap between the “farplane” in Spira and Palamecia.

Tidus: Where is it?

Yuna: Zanarkand. The far away Zanarkard that we were aiming for.

Tidus: That’s vague.

Tidus: But if there is a possibility, I will try betting on it.

Tidus: Let’s go, Yuna.

Yuna: …Hm.

Tidus: Don’t make a worried face like that.

Tidus: We don’t know for sure if we can go back, but something will work out. We will do something about it.

Echo: He wanted to bring Yuna back.

Wol: That’s gentle, for you.

Echo: I am gentle to honest kids. They get hurt easily.

Wol: They are not meant to be here. It’s better for them to return.

Echo: That’s gentle, for you.

Tidus: I can’t become the Warrior of Light. But I am Yuna’s guardian.

Tidus: I will return Yuna home safely. I will definitely do something about it.

Yuna: Together –

Yuna: - No, nothing. Please take care of me.

Hmmm. I realized I was missing some textbox conversations in the previous post. So I edited Part 2.

Insert disclaimer here.

--

Echo: Tidus is not here. Hmmm…where did he go?

Wol: It’s precisely because he’s worried about Yuna that he sped off to look for her.

*whistle*

Echo: …Hm? Hey, can’t you hear something?

Wol: Hmm.

Who: That sound.

Yuna: Aa!

*Yuna whistled back*

Wol: It’s pretty far but we can take a guess.

Yuna: Yes. Let’s go.

---

Echo: The whistle sounded like it came from around here, but Tidus is not here.

Echo: Where did he go…Can it be…that he got lost?

Wol: This forest looks like a maze. There are only long ways. Even if something is close, you can’t get there immediately.

Echo: Wandering around aimlessly, wanting to get closer but getting further apart, it’s like the distance between hearts.

Yuna: Hearts that seem like getting closer but are growing further part.

Wol: Putting in another way, it seems like they are growing further apart, but getting closer.

Wol: Right now, even if you are lost in this long way, you should be able to see your way…if you have hope.

Yuna: My hope….

---

Echo: Hmm…I can hear whistling! Be quiet and listen!

Wol: You be quiet first.

Yuna: I can hear it…it’s fading away.

Echo: Aa! Tidus got far again?

Yuna: But it’s fine. I am sure we can meet soon. It seems we getting further apart,  but we are getting closer.

---

Insert disclaimer here. I will come back to look at this part again because I translated the text box dialogue in a rush before going to bed.

---

Echo: Do you have any idea where Yuna is?

Wol: I can sense an Aeon. There should be something around here.

Echo: Is that so. As expected of a summoner.

Wol: It’s only a “noob summoner” though.

Echo: ...You have such a troublesome personality.

Wol: Because I have overcome many troublesome trials. Looks like it's going to start here too.

Echo: There's more? We just wanted to meet with Yuna.

Wol: Looks like it’s trying to test my strength. But the fact that we couldn’t just proceed straightforwardly means that Yuna is up ahead.

Echo: In order to meet the princess, you have to overcome the trials.

Wol: But that “princess” could actually be our enemy. That’s fine, then I don’t have to hold back.

---

Wol: You were waiting for me.

Wol: Let’s get to the point.

Wol: Are you our enemy? Or ally?

Yuna: …I am not your enemy.

Yuna: But…I am not Yuna, either.

Echo: If you are not Yuna, then what are you? Fake Yuna? Or a look-alike?

Wol: No matter your origin, there is one truth.

Wol: You pretend to be Yuna and are lying to Tidus.

Yuna: Aa….

Wol: You are not denying it.

Yuna: I wanted him to feel better. I wanted to encourage him and support him.

Yuna: Right now, he needs hope.

Wol: That’s why you lied to him? That’s a fake hope.

Wol: Are you disappearing again? If you are running away, then do what you want.

Yuna: ….

Wol: I thought you appeared suddenly. You turned everything upside down and disappear.

Wol: You have no regard for Tidus’s feelings. How selfish.

Wol: It’s fine. Hurry up and disappear. It’s better for him that way.

Yuna: What should I do…

Wol: It’s something for you to think about.

---

Echo: Looks like Yuna wants to come with us.

Wol: She has probably decided to see Tidus.

Echo: Is it alright to let them meet? She may not be the enemy, but not necessarily an ally either.

Wol: I’m used to untrustworthy company. Until we meet up with him, let’s just see how things are.

Echo: That Tidus, where is he…?

Echo: He went deep inside the forest looking for Yuna?

---

Echo: We wanted to ask before meeting up with Tidus.

Echo: Yuna…hmmm you’re not Yuna.

Wol: For now just call her Yuna.

Echo: That’s true.

Echo: Yuna, what are you and Tidus going to do from now on?

Yuna: I will apologize for lying –

Echo: It’s not that. It’s about what happens from now on.

Echo: How are you going to live with Tidus? Or is that goodbye?

Echo: I want to listen to your wishes.

Echo: Depending on your answer, we may keep from Tidus the fact that you’re a fake.  

Wol: Don’t decide on your own.

Wol: But it won’t do to just blurt everything out honestly.

Echo: Lies are convenient. Well, I am an expert at this.

Yuna: But, for me, something like hope….

Wol: I don’t want to lose you. I want to protect you with my hope….didn’t you say that?

Insert disclaimer here.

---

Echo: Yuna is gone…

Wol: No, it wasn’t Yuna. She glowed and disappeared.

Echo: Then, who is she? Looks like she knows Yuna and Tidus well?

Wol: In any event, a monster or something pretending to be Yuna and lying to us.

Echo: But she didn’t seem so bad.

Wol: I think so too. Because she didn’t have any bad intentions, it makes it more confusing. Does she want to do something…?

Echo: Nothing will happen just us thinking about it. Let’s let Tidus know.

---

Tidus: Yuna is not here?

Wol: Sorry, even though I was with her….

Tidus: But why?

Tidus: …Is it my fault?

Tidus: Let’s split up and look for her. Please help.

Wol: Of course.

---

Echo: Is it alright to not tell Tidus?

Echo: That Yuna glowed and disappeared.

Echo: And that may not even be Yuna to begin with.

Echo: It’s bad to hide things~

Wol: It wasn’t my intention to hide things. He ran off before I could say anything.

Echo: Why don’t you follow Tidus and tell him?

Wol: Right now we’re supposed to split up and look for Yuna first.

Echo: Or “this Yuna like person.” Depending on the situation, she may also be the enemy.

The last part to Chapter 4 Part One! This is just me guessing…but fake Yuna is…Valefor’s fayth? I seem to recall that Valefor’s fayth is a girl. Does she like Tidus or something, heehee. In any event, I would speculate, based on canon, that fayth has something to do with bringing Tidus back and this is what happens?

I have actually translated all the cutscenes of Chapter 4 Part Two yesterday. It was pretty productive! (HoFs, not so much) I saw some new videos too with the text box dialogue. I’ll go back to them later. But I should be able to do a daily release for the next little bit.

Insert disclaimer here.

—

Tidus: Can I go ahead on my own?

Yuna: Eh? But…

Tidus: I won’t go far. I just want to think a bit on my own.

Wol: If you think you’re in danger, run away and come to us.

Tidus: Right.

Echo: Smiling practice worked…didn’t it?

Yuna: That would be nice.

Wol: It works.

Yuna: Want to do it together?

Echo: Absolutely not. Seriously don’t!

—

Tidus: It’s over…my story.

Tidus: I thought my story ended in Spira.

Tidus: But when I came to, I was in Palamecia, and Yuna came for me.

Tidus: I thought, the story that should have ended have started again.

Tidus: Becoming the Warrior of Light together…our story.

Tidus:…But, that’s over too.

Tidus: I am a heretic. I can’t become the Warrior of Light.

Tidus: Then, what should I do?

Yuna: …Is that so.

Yuna: Let’s stop trying so hard.

Tidus: Stop?

Yuna: Until we know what to do, it’s fine if we don’t do anything.

Yuna: Trying hard, becoming anxious, pushing yourself…let’s stop everything.

Yuna: It’s fine if we just hold hands and walk.

Tidus: That might be nice….

Tidus: Let’s live in Palamecia!

Tidus: If I can’t become the Warrior of Light, then I’ll go back to my original job.

Yuna: Your original job?

Tidus: Blitzball player.

Tidus: This world doesn’t know [the sport], but I will show everyone.

Tidus: I’ll make teams and hold a tournament. If it’s exciting then it’ll become popular.

Tidus: Of course I’ll make my own team.

Tidus: The name will be Zanarkard Abes.

Tidus: To revive the dream team in Palamecia…is the best.

Tidus: It’s a story like a dream.

Yuna: You…

Tidus: Sorry, can you leave me alone for a little bit?

—

Echo: - so that’s it. When he was told “stop trying so hard”, Tidus became even more depressed.

Yuna: I thought, just to make him feel better, even a little…

Wol: If it were me, I would probably say “great to have it easy.” But I wonder about him.

Yuna: Eh?

Echo: Hmm, Tidus is the type to have a goal and get excited. If he were told to stop trying, it seems he wouldn’t know what to do. 

Yuna: I…I am the only one who didn’t understand him.

Wol: But more than any of us, you always want to become his strength.

Wol: If it were you, who have been with him all along…

Yuna: If I were with him all along…I should have understood.

Wol: Hm?

Yuna: It’s the same that time.

Yuna: To Yuna, his thoughtfulness when he told her to stop trying, gave her more pain instead.

Yuna: “Stop trying”…is not something Yuna would say.

Wol: Who are you?

*Yuna turned into Valefor and disappeared*

Spent a nerdy day taking care of Mobius related stuff including translation and HoFs. Chapter 4 Part One draft is done and moving onto Part Two. The new HoFs…are coming along slowly.

Anywho today is the laughing scene. XD

Insert disclaimer here.

—

Echo: How do you feel?

Tidus: The worst.

Tidus: No matter what I did, my strength won’t come back.

Tidus: Argh…I may be done.

Wol: If you can still say that with a smile, things might not be so bad.

Echo: That’s right, that’s right.

Echo: It’s not that you smile because you feel good, but you will feel better because you smiled. When you can’t go on, smile.

Tidus: Even if you said that…

Tidus: …Aa.

Tidus: Hey Yuna, it’s been a while. Why don’t we “practice”?

Yuna: “Practice”….You meant that?

Yuna: Hm, let’s try it!

—

Echo: What? What are they practicing?

Tidus: Great! Then, smiling practice!

Tidus: A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

Yuna: A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

Tidus& Yuna: A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

Echo: Wh..what is this…?

Tidus: It’s weird, after all, this practice.

Yuna: You started it.

Tidus: Yuna showed it to me.

Yuna: Feeling better?

Tidus: We’re just getting started.

Yuna: You can get it back.

Tidus: Hm.

Tidus: …I can’t stay like this.

Echo: Just now, we were wondering what was happening. All of a sudden the two of you burst out laughing. We thought you might have eaten something weird.

Wol: In its own way, it’s a rough practice.

Echo: Why don’t you challenge it too? It’s a pretty high level difficulty mission for Mr. Sourpuss.

Wol: Who’s a sourpuss…

Echo: You can’t do it~

Wol: If you said so, I’ll do it. But I will laugh looking at your eyes.

Echo: Huh?

Wol:  A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

Echo: Ehhh???

Wol: A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

 Wol: A. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha!

Echo: Stop! Please stop!?

Echo: …It would be a nightmare terrifying even Choas. Children will cry when you laugh.  

Eeep. They just released Part Two of Chapter Four. I'm falling behind. :S I'll try to catch up over the weekend.

Oh, I actually find the text box conversations in this chapter relevant, but I can't seem to find a youtube video that has all the dialogue. (Really should have just recorded the gameplay myself, argh) Maybe I just haven't had a chance. But if I found one I will go back and add those translations.

Insert disclaimer here.

Wol: Yojimbo is after you. Do you have any idea why?

Yuna: …I don’t know. He helped us back in Spira.

Echo: Yojimbo is an aeon that could be hired with money, right?

Echo: Does he hate you because you didn’t pay him well?

Wol: A grudge from money, huh? (Note 1) Sounds human.

Tidus: No matter what the reason is, he is after Yuna.

Tidus: But as I am now…to him…

Wol: If you are no match for him, I will help.

Wol: Let me be his opponent. You be Yuna’s guardian.

Tidus: …Sure. That is my role.

---

Wol: What is in this forest? You said something like you would be able to find “a new hope.”

Yuna: There are lots of memories here. (Note 2)

Echo: Memories? Isn’t that different from “new hope”?

Yuna: Memories are things of the past. Hope is a thing of the future.

Yuna: Memories can become the strength to step into the future. That’s what I think. Is it strange?

Echo: Not at all.

Echo: This place is the a world where that kind of thoughts can become your strength.

Wol: From memories to hope, from hope to strength…

Yuna: I believe that it will become the strength to keep us going.

---

Wol: To the two of you, it seems like this place holds memories.

Tidus: Yeah, you heard?

Echo: Hey hey, what kind of memories?

Echo: Were they sweet? Pure? Wonderful?

Tidus: What can I say…it’s a long story, and it’s complicated.

Tidus: That time, Yuna and myself were both driven to the corner.

Tidus: What we believed in turned out to be false. We didn’t know what to do.

Wo: But they were important memories right? It’s written all over your face.

Echo: Yuna said so just now. Memories will become the strength to step into the future.

Tidus: Memories will become strength….that’s right.

Tidus: Compared to that time, this is probably better.

Echo: Compared to that time, this is probably better…

Echo: Is that what is meant by “memories will become strength”?

Wol: How is that hope? It was just a comparison. If his strength returns from that, he wouldn’t be suffering.

I guess I’ll translate Part 4 first. Sorry for the delay. I stopped recording my playthroughs because I know someone will be uploading videos. But then it took a few days for people to upload them. And then rl took over.

The end of this part of the Chapter was…shocking but at the same time not. I have been wondering at the back of my mind whether this Yuna is real because FFX-2 never mentioned that Yuna came to Palamecia. Turns out she is a real as my Yuna skin. :S

—

Echo: The young man from Spira, Tidus.

Echo: As if following Tidus, the summoner who appeared, Yuna.

Echo: Same as those who drifted to Palamecia

Echo: The two of them followed the prophecy and aimed to be the Warrior of Light.

Echo: That goal, for the two of them, in a world they have never seen or known

Echo: Should have been the hope to keep them going.

Echo: But…the rule rejected them, the heretics.

Echo: They won’t be able to become the Warrior of Light.

Echo: Their hope was taken from them.

Echo: In Palamecia, hope is power.

Echo: Right now, Tidus, having lost hope, lost his strength to fight.

—

Echo: Are you alright? Your face looks dead.

Tidus: …Sorry.

Tidus: It’s depressing, right, a gloomy face.

Yuna: That’s not true. Anyone would feel down.

Tidus: Yuna…

Yuna: But you will be fine. You won’t be alone. (Note 1)

Tidus: …Hm. Thanks.

—

Wol: Yojimbo. He came after us?

Echo: Does he want something from you?

Tidus: No, he…

Tidus: Yuna!

Wol: You’re after Yuna?

Yuna: Why…?

Wol: I’ll take over. Protect Yuna!

Tidus: Got it!

—

Ooops. I forgot I said I was going to translate the tower. It actually has some substance. Here goes.

I don't think I'll translate the Yojimbo event. :S

Insert disclaimer.

Echo: You have time anyway. Want to play together?

Wol: A match works too.

Tidus: You want a match? I don’t mind.

Tidus: To have a match with the Zanarkard Ace.

Tidus: Isn’t it one thousand years too early?

Echo: You said it! Though you’ve been down just now.

Tidus: Heh heh. Sorry. I made you worry.

Wol: Well. What are the rules?

Tidus: Officially, there are a lot of them, but basically –

Tidus: Get through the defence, carry the ball, shoot when you see the goal, that’s it.

Echo: That’s kinda primitive.

Wol: It’s just fine for a beginner like me.

Echo: Huh? It’s rare for you to be so modest.

Wol: If the rules are simple, even if I don’t have experience, I can just brute force through it.

Tidus: Blitzball is not so simple that you can win with just power and speed.

Tidus: Then this time, there are special rules just for beginners.

Tidus: I am defence.

Wol: Can you defend the goal just by yourself?

Echo: Heh heh. He’s not alone~

Echo: Tidus’s team have these guys. (Note 1)

Wol: …You’re on his side?

Echo: Because~ I want to have fun too.

Echo: Even though you are a beginner, you are full of yourself. So I want to see you being taken down a peg.

---

Tidus: Not bad.

Wol: Watch out for your place as Ace.

Tidus: Brag only after you get a lead on me!

---

Tidus: You did surprisingly well.

 Wol: Have I passed the beginner’s level?

Tidus: Well, you’re at the level of a junior trainee.

Wol: …Gee, thanks.

---

Tidus: To think I lost as Ace. Beginner’s luck.

Wol: It wasn’t that I was lucky. You’ve been going easy on me.

Tidus: Hey, you noticed.

Wol: The pride of Ace wouldn’t let you take a beginner seriously.

Tidus: I didn’t think that far. If that’s the case, what are you going to do?

Wol: I will make you take me seriously and then crush you. How’s that?

Tidus: Great! Then hurry up and make me serious.
