Eternal Blue Complete - English-Japanese Differences
Welcome to the English-Japanese Differences section for Lunar 2: Eternal Blue for the Saturn and Playstation! The localization process for RPGs is always intensive, and LunarNET brings you the most complete list to-date on the differences between the versions. The compiled list of differences is below, with items in English on the left side, items in Japanese on the right side (no screenshots, only dialogue and text--sorry!); the location and approximate time for the dialogue or change cited is also given. The list is also separated into eight sections (based on the type of change):
General: General notes about the translation process (see below).
(1) Major Changes: Clearly noticeable differences. Usually the difference is intentional, and they affect the main story or significant elements of the background story or history.
(2) Minor Changes: Usually noticeable differences, given some knowledge about the background of Lunar. Usually the difference is intentional, but the effect on the main story or background story is slight.
(3) Ambiguities: Minor differences between the English and Japanese dialogue. Usually the difference is minor, and occurs at the nuanced level, or is a change made for stylistic reasons. Jokes modified in the localization also go here, where present.
(4) Name Clarifications: Self-explanatory. These are only issues with transliteration or translation of characters, places, titles, or items.
(5) Miscellaneous: Other changes not related to dialogue or the story. Gameplay modifications also go in this section.
(6) Similarities: Selected equivalences between the English and Japanese game.
(7) Bromides/Items: Bromide and 'secret item' locations across the English Playstation, Japanese Playstation, and Japanese Saturn versions.
General
Before I begin, there are a few general things to note when reading this list.
First, most importantly, is about translation itself. Translation is an art, not a science, and so there are inevitably some changes in translated dialogue. Working Designs generally uses a two-step process, where the dialogue is first translated, and then interpreted to sound more natural in English. The translations I give here of the Japanese dialogue is for comparison purposes only; it's only meant to convey the meaning as closely as possible (in other words, the translations here are not necessarily how I'd translate the dialogue professionally). Also note that, in some cases, I don't include the entire set of English or Japanese dialogue; only enough to illustrate the differences--so, the length of a particular set of dialogue itself is not indication of any changes.
Second, unlike the Sega CD versions, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue was released on multiple platforms in Japan: one version on the Sega Saturn, and one version on the Playstation. The North American release was only on the Playstation, and based on the Japanese Playstation version. The Japanese Saturn and Playstation versions are largely the same; but, some differences are accountable to the platform differences and not the English-Japanese localization. Where that happens, I note here where differences are in the Saturn and Playstation versions, rather than the English and Japanese versions.
Third, this document is a list of differences, not similarities. However, I have included a few items which have occasionally been thought or assumed to be differences. In general, if a particular set of dialogue or issues is not mentioned here, it's safe to assume that it's the same between the English and Japanese versions of the game.
Fourth, and finally, this document, the material herein, and the non-Working Designs translations were produced by Kizyr. Many thanks also goes to Alunissage (on the LunarNET forums) for corrections and clarifications on several items here, and cross-references to interviews and outside sources (especially on the Blue Spire Guardian fight, and the Yellow Pajamas+Rubber Boots+Gorgon Doll effect). Thanks goes to other folks on the forums who've offered feedback as well. If you'd like to discuss anything here, feel free to bring it up on the LunarNET forums.
This information is available to everyone. But if you use it elsewhere, then please credit LunarNET. Thank you.
(1) Major Changes
This section contains clearly noticeable differences. Usually the differences are intentional changes, although a few may be unintended. These changes usually significantly affect the main story, or the background story, to the game.

| Location: Larpa - when Ronfar tries to heal Lucia at the Shrine |
|---|
| Ronfar doesn't give a specific time for the incident in Raculi with Mauri. |
Ronfar says the incident in Raculi with Mauri was three years ago. |
| Ronfar: "I... I've never failed to break a spell, except once when... (Oh, Mauri....)" |
Ronfar: "As I thought... I can't save people!? Three years ago... when Mauri fell ill... that time, too..." |

| Location: Mystic Ruins - when you reach the garden at the bottom |
|---|
| The pixies at the bottom were brought there because Ghaleon said the world will be destroyed soon. |
The pixies at the bottom were brought there because they are almost extinct. |
| "Master Ghaleon said that this world will be destroyed soon. That is why he made this Secret Garden and brought us here. He said we'd be safe here forever." |
"We are almost extinct, Master Ghaleon said. That's why Ghaleon brought us here, to help the pixies <3" |
| English | Japanese |
|---|
| Location: Meribia - when you first visit |
|---|
| Meribia was said to be 'founded' by Mel. |
Meribia was governed by Mel, who made the city great. The word used is 'osameru', which means 'govern', but has been translated as 'found' in English versions of The Silver Star, Silver Star Story, and Eternal Blue Complete. |
(Outside NPC): "Meribia has flourished since the day it was founded by Hell Mel. But until recently, it was really dangerous here. I was afraid to walk down the street! Master Lunn and his followers have made Meribia safe again. I love him for what he's done!"
(In Lunn's Dojo): "The first guy in charge was Hell Mel. He founded Meribia and even named it after himself! Cool, huh? Every ruler of Meribia has lived in this mansion, but when Lunn took charge of the city... he turned the mansion into a dojo! I guess he didn't care about luxurious living quarters, huh?" |
(Outside NPC): "Long ago, Meribia, which was governed by Master Mel, one of the four heroes, was prosperous. Is it better now? I think so... Since Master Lunn came, the town's been great! Ha ha ha! ... Meribia seems to have been named after Master Mel, because he made it great. Ha ha ha!"
(In Lunn's Dojo): "This town has been governed by heroes of the era. Ever since Master Mel, from whom Meribia gets its name, it's been governed by the era's great warriors... They governed this city from where this dojo is. Now, the master of this dojo is Blue Master Lunn. Master Lunn is said to be the hero of this era." |

| Sources in game place difference between Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue at about 1000 years. |
No specification of the time interval between Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue. (Although the Lunar I+II Artbook entry for Nall lists his age as an estimated 500-600 years.) |
| "After my husband and I moved here, we paid a visit to the Magic Library to research Taben's Peak. We found a book which said that the Peak didn't exist until about a thousand years ago. It also said that the Peak is really the rusted remains of the Grindery that blasted Vane out of the sky! The book said that some people think that the story of Taben's Peak is a fairy tale, but we don't." |
"At the big library there was a book which said that Taben's Peak wasn't there a long time ago... It was a fearful castle that caused Vane to fall to the ground. It sounds like a fairy-tale, but we believe it." |

| Book lists the following Dragonmasters: Leon (Zeon in Sega CD version), Gaull (Loka in Sega CD version), Natto (not in Sega CD version), Dyne, and Alex. Dyne is also called hero of the 'Heresy War'. Alicia and Laticia are not mentioned (although they were in Silver Star Story). Extra bylines are also given about the other heroes mentioned. |
Book lists the following Dragonmasters: Zeon, Loka, Alicia and Lina, Dyne, and Alex. Dyne is called one of the Four Heroes of the Battle of the Black Dragon, which conforms with the backstory of the Sega CD The Silver Star, but not necessarily with the backstory of the remake Silver Star Story. Natto is not mentioned (although he was in Silver Star Story). |
| "Famous Dragonmasters - Some of the most popular Dragonmasters in the history of our world include: Leon, the Mighty Gale, who fought his foes with the blinding force of a hurricane. Gaull, the Iron Hand, who could fell the largest man with a single swing of his granite fists. Natto, the Singing Swordsman, who often burst into song while decimating his enemies. Dyne, the hero of the Heresy War... and Alex, the last of the Dragonmasters." |
"Heroes, Dragonmasters - Some of the most popular Dragonmasters in history are Cyclone Zeon [zeon], Iron Fist Loka [roka]... the Gold and Silver Sisters Alicia and Lina [arishia, rixina], one of the Four Heroes of the Battle of the Black Dragon, Dyne, and... the last Dragonmaster Alex..." |

| Extra note about the Vile Tribe's mixing with the general population is added by Phacia in one of the books (Phacia being from Silver Star Story). Hiro also wonders who Phacia is. |
Extra note about some of the Vile Tribe living with humans is added by Alice in one of the books. Alice is from the Eternal Blue-based Childhood's End manga, which occurs three years after the events of Eternal Blue, and has relevance to Phacia and the Vile Tribe. (The manga is not available in English, but LunarNET has a full translation here: link). Prior to the Epilogue, Hiro wonders who Alice is. During the Epilogue, Hiro recalls that the note was written by Alice (note that the meaning of this is ambiguous, and doesn't mean that Hiro knows who Alice is at this point). |
Book: "History of Lunar Volume 1 - The existence of the Vile Tribe was confirmed... during the terrible battle in which Vane fell from the sky. The behaviors and desires of the Vile Tribe are still shrouded in darkness... but it is clear that they have not chosen to coexist peacefully with humanity."
Hiro: "Someone scribbled a note in the margin. What does it say?"
Book: "This is wrong! The Vile Tribe has left The Frontier... and now lives alongside the rest of Althena's children. --Phacia" |
Book: "In the fierce battle when the floating city of Vane fell, the existence of the Vile Tribe was confirmed. However they chose to live, what purpose they had, is wrapped in shadow... It seems clear they have not chosen the path of coexistence with us humans..."
Hiro: "...hm? What's this? There's a note scribbled in here."
Book: "This is a lie!! There are those in the Vile Tribe who chose to live with humans! -Alice"
(Prior to Epilogue) Hiro: "Alice? ...who is that?"
(During Epilogue) Hiro: "I see... Alice wrote this. Yeah, that's right, Alice." |

| The book in the back of the main room is a set of fan-submitted haikus. |
The book in the back of the main room is the same list of mysterious ruins as at the beginning of the game. |
Master of Dragons, / colors white, blue, red, and black... / the Dragonmaster
To save those beyond, / her power she surrendered, / dearest Althena
Borgan may be fat, / and he may sweat like a pig, / but it's glandular
Heavenly bodies / eyes gaze upward in rev'rence / Goddess in a thong
When trapped by darkness, / remember love and friendship / be human... and free.
You know you love me, / my fluffy majestic hair, / but please, call me Nash
Ronfar is the man / watch him roll his loaded dice / and rob people blind
Azure in the sky / shining down on us below / our past, our future
A Dragonmaster / born to protect the Goddess / his love ends evil
A pink flying cat / flaming breath and acid tongue / Red Dragon Ruby
Assembly of gods / the damnation of a world / a new beginning
I fear for my heart / and for the flesh torn clean by / a Nipple Yanker
Flames burn through my lungs / consuming all that oppose / a young Red Dragon |
(Quotation N/A) |
| English | Japanese |

| Location: White Dragon Cave - when you first enter |
|---|
| When you enter the cave, Nall mentions the 'four ice treasures' you need to get to progress. Note that this is the same dialogue pulled from the Sega CD version of Eternal Blue, and doesn't actually apply to the cave in the remake version (this was due to a last-minute issue with missing the translation for this section prior to the game being finalized). |
When you enter the cave, Nall mentions using the monsters in the cave to break the ice columns to progress. |
| Nall: "Ha! You got the White Dragon Aura from Leo at last! ... I'm where I need to be! Listen, you need the four ice treasures to open the passage to my lair. Once you have those, you may have to backtrack a bit, but the way will be open. Each one is in a big, white ice chest in the corners of this cave." |
Nall: "Ha! You did it!! You got the White Dragon Power back from Leo! ... Ha, if you continue towards the back, then you'll find me. Don't worry! Listen up, will you? This place is awfully cold. A lot of places are blocked up by columns of ice. It's really tough to break through even one of them through human power, or the flame of a tiny dragon... But, well, I don't think it'll be a problem, since there are some monsters that live in here. Make use of them, and you'll manage to come through. If you can somehow jeer those weird things, then they'll charge and break them. Maybe that's how you managed to get at that stubborn Leo guy? Ha, then you should be fine. This will be easy for you! Now, take care! Don't make me wait." |

| Location: Raculi - when you first visit |
|---|
| No legend behind Serak or the name of Serak Palace is given. |
The legend behind Serak and Serak Palace is given by one of the villagers. |
| (Quotation N/A) |
"I heard about this often from my dead grandfather... Long ago, a single girl with strong magic power was born in this village. She performed various miracles, and saved this village. She called the rain, and protected us from drought. She saved men who would get lost in the storms. It's said that when this village was attacked by the Vile Tribe, she struck them down single-handedly. Serak Palace [serekamu shinden] was built and is associated with that girl, Serak [serekamu]. ... Among the stories that my grandfather told me, apparently Serak left behind a prophecy. When this village is in crisis, A girl will appear, a savior who gives off light... I thought that the savior in that prophecy was Mauri, but..." |

The only person that got the disease and lived to tell about it was Mauri. Oh, and speaking of Mauri, she left this letter for you, in case you came back." |
"This is the second time a catastrophe has hit Raculi... Some years ago, an awful sickness spread, and killed the people in this village one by one... At that time, the only one who caught the illness and was left alive was Mauri..." |

(During Epilogue): "Afta Meryod burned ta tha ground, Ma an' Pah went ta live in Yankshod. I lak it there. There's lotsa purdy grass and thars even fishies yew kin catch!" |
(Prior to Epilogue): "The Goddess Althena was an imposter... And were the people of Althena's Chosen all consumed so that Zophar could be revived? Hm, the hearts of people should not be toyed with!"
(During Epilogue): "I read lots of books in this library. I like stories about heroes. Whatever era, whatever hero, they do such cool things that I can't believe it. But, I think now that that's true. That there was a god who was struck down, and that there were heroes." |
| English | Japanese |

|---|
| After Zophar's defeat, the letter from Luna that Nall gives to Hiro refers to him by name. |
After Zophar's defeat, the letter from Luna that Nall gives to Hiro does not refer to him by name. |
| "Although I was once known as the Goddess Althena, I am now Luna, and I shall remain so. I have chosen happiness and love as a human... a mortal. As such, I will not be alive to tell you this in person. I have seen your coming, but my life will end long before you are even born, Hiro. I have but one regret, and that is Lucia. Lucia has been left to protect the Blue Star... living not for herself, but for others. She waits silently for the Blue Star to revive, and now, she waits alone. I wanted to teach Lucia all about human warmth, love, and kindness... but that chance has now slipped beyond my grasp. Hiro, you must free Lucia from the servitude and loneliness on the Blue Star. For me... and for love. The way is open to you. Luna" |
"...My name is Luna. This letter is meant for someone I haven't yet seen, in the distant future. I once existed, known as the Goddess Althena. But, I chose life as a human, I wished for happiness as a human. But I have one regret, and that is... Lucia... Lucia is all alone. If only she lived not just for the Blue Star, but for herself... That is what I had hoped. Humanity's warmth, kindness, greatness... That is what I want to teach Lucia. But, that is something that I can no longer do. That is why... I leave that up to you, a person whom I've never seen. Somehow, for Lucia..." |

Ruby: "Nall is going to show me how to have the heart of an adult dragon!" |
(2) Minor Changes
These differences are usually noticeable, but sometimes require knowing more about Lunar, or other elements of the game, to pick up on the difference. These differences are sometimes intentional, though not always. Regardless, the changes only marginally affect the story, and not in any significant way.

Criminal #2 is a young man in a yellow cape with green tattoos underneath his left eye. Criminal #3 is a notorious gambler and habitual weed-chewer from the town of Larpa. If you see these fugitives, or the flying pink cat in their company, inform the Guard at once." |
"Wanted, report the following people if seen. [A person with] a red bread-roll on her head, and an unidentifiable red cloak. A criminal from the frontier who makes his living by raiding tombs, named Piro [piero, meaning clown, which is a play on 'hiero'] male, age 16. A swindling cheat based in the city of Larpa, named Ronpar [ronpaa, misspelling of 'ronfaa'], male, age 45. ...and, one additional creature.
