Can anyone provide a translation for the text in the new Relive FFXI History video?

[Edyth]

Can we get a translation for the text in this beautiful video just released on the FFXI Twitter:

https://youtu.be/jOiMEcJ11pU

Just posting it here in the forum is fine. And even if it's just another user who can read Japanese, that'd be great.

(I was about to post this in Localization, but I think I'd get a faster response from a player than from the Localization team, who are probably busy as heck and may need special permission to spend time translating that)

Please excuse me if the nuance isn't precisely expressed in English.

冒険者の時代……。
それは、英雄なき時代……。

It’s an era of the adventurers…
In this era without heroes…
Everyone can become a hero…

なにものにも終わりはない……、
ただ、カタチを変えるだけ。
This is not an end of everything…
It’s merely a transformation.

俺、生きていけるよ。
終わりなんか待たずに、
みんなと同じ気持ちで……
生きていける。
I, for one, can live on.
Instead of waiting for an end to come,
I can live on sharing the same feelings of all others.

あなたが、この国に
来てくれて本当によかった……。
It’s really glad that you have been in this realm…

あなたと一緒に
ヴァナ・ディールを駆け回ったこと……
本当に、とっても楽しかった。
Together with you,
We travelled every corner of Vana’diel…
It was really great fun.

言ったとおりでしょ？
「また会える」って。
So it’s exactly like I said
that we will be able to meet again.

Incidentally the theme song used in the video is "Forever Today" (link to English translation here), the Ending Theme of "Seekers of Adoulin" storyline. And in case you also want the romaji pronunciation of the Japanese lyrics, I have listed that below together with the original lyrics and the official English translation.

Please note that the lyricist Ms. Yaeko Satou is the scenario planner of Windurst and Promathia missions, as well as the Windurst quests. She also created the lyrics to the Promathia Ending Theme Song "Distant Worlds" (Japanese version).

Thanks! Glad to see it's not doom and gloom and sadness.
