EW Launch Trailer Language Comparison

Wanted to be on sooner with JP translations, but the forums seem to think logging in to decorate isn't a real login or something.


Your translations are basically correct, though I would transcribe the first one as それは道しるべであり、あなたを、人を試すもの. Grammatically, it's more like, "It will be your guide, but it will also be a test for you, and for man." The suggestion being that the WoL is serving as a proxy for the worthiness of humanity itself.

The line at 1:50 sounds like Alisaie. She even shows up on-screen a little after, speaking in the same tone. Rie Murakawa has a really distinctive voice, and Alisaie's speech patterns are also very different from other characters. Transcription is correct, but going by spoken intent, "Let's put an end to [this] sufffering. Could anything be a more important wish than that?" Sounds more like her usual grumpy heroism than the other languages. Are they actually using the same line?

Voice at 3:45 is 100% not Emet-Selch. My money is on Zodiark.

If you haven't logged in for 2+ weeks it's pretty picky on what constitutes a "login." You have to play a substantial amount of time and do zone changes and stuff; just logging in to log in doesn't work.

I haven't quite managed to discern what exactly works, but it's something like 2+ hours with a Duty. Either that or it runs a scan every X hours. Reminds me I need to hop on for a bit 'fore I get booted off the forums; already got my Inferno Jacket and I'm too busy replaying Tales of Symphonia to bother with anything else right now.

Voice at 3:45 is the exact same one used for 2:24, I somehow doubt it's Zodiark and think it's whoever is with still with Nevra in Garlemald (or does anyone remember what Nero sounds like again in JP, I honestly forgot).

But yeah I was really surprised at how different JP is from english. 3:25 sounds a lot like Ishida Akira aka Elidibus. However in the english version it's Fandaniel talking and then what I assume Urianger "It will be ours again, our world free of sorrow"?
(I'm very unsure now, or maybe Junichi Yanagita is just really good at having his voice sound like it's breakin down similary to Ishida)
I agree that 1:46 sounds a lot like Alisae, while in the english version it's totally different. The lines are practically the same, but again english doesn't sound like Alisae at all.
