This is where we start translating... (Patch 2.4 Trailer differences thread)

The English is already hard to hear in places. I'll be trying to record that first and then begin on the Japanese. If our friends learned of French and German might come forward that we might begin anew with Trailer 2.4 as we did with Trailer 2.3, let us loremongers try to discover all that we might...

Iceheart: The tales do not do you justice, Warrior of Light. I know who you are, and you know who I am.

Louisoix: You have come far to hear the truth.

???: I am Emerich, Lord Commander of The Temple Knights.

Raubahn: Monetarist scum!!! Your crimes will not go unpunished!

Y'shtola: Joyous reunion, indeed!

Minfilia: ...though it risk the lives of our best and brightest, we have not the time to seek other options.

Teledji Adeleji: Nanamo Ul Namo. For my sake, pray thee be a good little Sultana to the last.

Iceheart: We whom gods and men have forsaken shall be the instruments of our own deliverance!

Deleted because QuCont is so much better than I at this.

"We whom gods and men have forsaken shall be the instruments of our own deliverance."

Teledji Adeleji: "Nanamo Ul Namo. For my sake, pray be a good little Sultana to the last."

I found the second part to be a lot clearer to make out than the first, strangely.

Thankyou, thankyou. Now all that's left is the truly hard part.

Shiva: 光の戦士よ、ここであなたが来るのを待っていた。
I have been waiting for you, warrior of light.

Loui:今こそ語ろう、第七霊災の真実を。
Now is the time to reveal the truth of the 7th disaster.

Raubahn:聞いておるのだろう、共和派のネズミよ！
I know you're listening, spies of the republic!
(It looks like he's in an empty room, so he's addressing spies/eavesdroppers of the republic.)

Yshtola:あら、イダに知り合いがいたなんて意外ね。
Oh? You(Ida) have connections/know people? That's surprising.
(This is hard without context.)

Minfilia:あなたも聞いたことがあるはずよ、星の意思、ハイデリンの（muffled）
I'm sure you've heard (of?), Hydalyn, the essense of the planet.

Teledji:ナナモ陛下か。あの方には最後まで女王でいてもらわねば、困るからな。
Her majesty, nanamo?
It would trouble us if she doesn't remain the queen until the very end.
(Nanamo is being addressed in the 3rd person. He's talking to someone else. Probably plotting.)

Shiva:我を救い、祈るべき神がいないなら、聖女にこそ、この祈りを捧げよう！
If there is no god that can save us or answer our prayers, then give those prayers to the holy maiden!
(I'm assuming she's referring to herself when she says 聖女, but I haven't done the 2.3 quests yet)

The French version:

Iceheart:
Tu n'aurais jamais dû venir ici, guerrier de la lumière.
Je ne fais que oeuvrer pour la paix, je t'avais déjà dis.

Translation:
You should have not come here, Warrior of Light.
I am only trying to make peace, I already told you.
---

Louisoix:
Cette fois, je vais tout vous dire.
Vous méritez de connaître la vérité.

Translation:
This time, I will tell you everything.
You deserve to know the truth.
---

Emerick: Je suis Emerick, capitaine général des Torpillers Ishgard.
Trans: I am Emerick, General Captain of the ??? of Ishgard.
---

Raubanh:
Je sais que vous pouvez m'entendre, saleté de monétariste!
Vos crimes ne resteront pas impuni!

Trans:
I know you can hear me, monetarist scum!
Your crimes will not remain impunished!
---

Y'shtola: Tiens donc, tu as des amis toi! (in a amused tone)
Trans: Well well, you have friends don't you!
---

Minfillia:
Il y a aucune doute que les Ascians sont derrière tout ça.
???

Trans: There is no doubt that the Ascians are behind all this.
(I can't hear the second phrase, something about a more powerful force that they cannot see which happens during the Garlean part)
---

Teledji: Nanamo Ul Namo, tu vas rester à ta place bien gentiment jusqu'à j'en ai fini avec toi.
Trans: Nanamo Ul Namo, you will stay quietly at your place until I am done with you.
---

Iceheart: Nous, qui avons été abandonné par les dieux, trahi par les hommes, serons les acteurs de notre propre délivrance!
Trans: We, who have been abandonned by the gods, betrayed by man, will be the actors of our own deliverance!

I think out of all of the lines in the preview, Shiva's intrigues me the most. What exactly will the Primals' deliverance be?

Thankyou, QuCont, for saving us from 200 level Japanese and a dictionary. And thankyou, dragonflie for The French.

Am I the only one whose surprised that Teledji's third person quote is pretty much the same across the 3 versions we have so far? There is more or less sarcasm, disdain, and intention depending on the language.

The specificity in the Japanese Re: Louisoix surprises me. I read that as him having more important information than just what happened in End of an Era. We shall see.

Iceheart's monologue at the end seems to imply in all versions (if she is The Holy Maiden and is Shiva, both foregone conclusions) that the theory of primals = the 12 can officially be debunked. Being that as it may, I believe that Shiva is being fueled by Ishgard somehow despite this fact. Ascian phlebotinum? She's close enough to Halone to benefit from Ishgard's devotion. I don't know. But I'll hold to that theory as I don't believe she has a beast tribe.

Am I the only one who feels like they hear a cut in the audio between "forsaken" and "shall"? As though there's another part of this quotation that was omitted, perhaps because it was spoilerific?

I'm amused that the opening Iceheart quote actually differs the most in tone and implication from version to version. I still stand by the belief that The Japanese implies that she knew that you were going to be at this precise location and so was waiting there. The English seems to imply that things could still be amiable between us, while The French seems to imply that you should have known better than to go where you went. It's all very odd.

It's interesting that Louisoix uses "vous" in the French version to refer to the player character, though it's probably to imply that he holds the PC/WoL in high esteem. Teledji using "tu" in reference to Nanamo makes sense, he's purposely being condescending and using language that implies she's inferior, because plot reasons.

Indeed, 'Vous' used in this context is a polite version of Tu, used mostly to strangers or being formal. 'Tu' is more personal, used with friends. In this case, it could very well be Teledji looking down on Nanamo (due to her limited power).

The 'Vous' could just mean that Alisae is present during the scene with Louisoix, and so refering to both her and the player. Vous is the plural of Tu.

I feel english is gypped right now, the other languages sound cooler and less obtuse.

• Teledji will attempt to assassinate Nanamo, prolly hiring Ninjas/Rouges to so the dirty deed (who Raubahn will notice, hence his quote)
• Shiva will either try to help the PCs or go on a tempering spree and subjugate Eorzea
• Louisoux will in a moment of lucidity (probably after or before a boss) tell all he knows of Bahamut and the Calamity since his death
• Bahamut will either disperse into the Aether or break free of the coil again, either way he'll become a threat best saved for later
• The Ascians will be outed as the Men behind Teledji (because Ul'Dah's corruption would make it an easy target, especially if the sultana is dead, triggering a succession crisis, That and having Omega will make it easy to repeat the Ultima spell) and Iceheart/Shiva (because they have been behind the primals summonings by teaching the beastmen (and Ala Mhighan refugees) how to summon this far)

The teaser video for the patch shows some kind of snow gigas during the fight against her. They may be introduced during the MSQ or maybe we'll learn more about them when going through Snowcloak.

Most of the german version is same with the French and English version, but there are some differences i could hear on Louisoix and Raubahn parts.

Louisoix:
Dieser Weg fuehrt dich zum letzten Verteilungsshiff (?) - i dont use german client so i dont know this term
Geh auf das Bahamut's bedrohlicher Schatten von unsere Seelen genommen werde

Translation:
This path leads you to the last something ship -> maybe internment hulk
Go so that Bahamut's menacing shadow is removed from our Souls

Raubahn: Eines Tages werde ich Ul'dah von euch befreien

Translation: One day I will free Ul'dah from you

As i mentioned rest of the mono/dialog is same with the at least one of the other languages.

Minfillia:

Mais je sens qu'une autre force, plus terrible encore, est à l’œuvre.

Trans: There is no doubt that the Ascians are behind all this.
But i feel another power, even more dire, is on the move.

Just for a quick correction ^^.

Also the vous means plural or respect ( someone you respect or someone you don't know well ) so I don't think it's really because he respects the player but more a simple plural.

My personal theory about IceHeart is that she is going to use her body as a vessel for Shiva and therefor control her, she seems to be willing to bend gods to her will to get free from Ishgard ( And it's a recurring theme in FF ) and Shiva is a summoning that usually don't have bodies ( cf. FFX or VIII as an example where she uses ice to make a body )

This line from Shiva echoes the earlier verses of Answers. I'm wondering if we may get a clearer picture of who was actually singing that song soon...
