This is a sub-page of Proto:Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium.
Scenic Ryuon, conveniently located north of Raja Temple, is home to the most renowned bar on Dezolis. Come on in and have a drink of non-specific beverage, then catch up on the latest news from Gyuna, the bartender who may or may not have an accent.

The owner of the bar is named
Gyuna and he knows the most
about the situation around
these parts.
If you want to know something
that's where you should go.

Translation Notes
Oh geeze. So in the Japanese version the Dezolisian calls Gyuna "事情通" (Jijoutsuu) meaning an expert in the background of a certain situation...
|
May Script
Two squared is...
the situation.
|
|
Final Script
Two fists is...
the best situation!
|
|
|
Translation Notes
...and then Raja says "2の自乗…ジジョウツー！", which is meant to be read as "tsuu no jijou...jijoutsuu!", a bit of wordplay that more or less translates to the May dialogue.
Looks like the editors couldn't think of a good pun here for later drafts...
|
Oh, you're a Parmanian.
Are you from the town of Tyler?
|
|
|
|
May Script
It looks like they've
flown here from Motavia.
|
|
Final Script
It looks like they've flapped
all the way here from Motavia.

Arrgh!
Will you cut it out,
you old fart!

The 'Gumbious Temple' is
Dezolisians' source of pride.
It's the center of Dezolis,
and it's the pillar of support
for the hearts of Dezolisians!

What with this sudden snow
storm, the ability to travel
in and out of town tends to be
unreliable.
There seems to be many places
where the roads are obstructed
by ice!

Translation Notes
Once Raja leaves the party, all versions revert to the May script.
|
|
May Script
I don't know which I hate more
you are this snow!
|
|
August Script
Ice obstructions. Sounds pretty
...bothersome.
|
|
Final Script
On winter nights, we huddle so
tight, saying ice is really
nice... How's that!?
|
|
Translation Notes
So in the Japanese version, Raja says that he's already fed up with the snowstorm (雪嵐はもうコオリゴリじゃの!), but he combines korigori (Being fed up with something) with koori (ice). So it's another bad pun. Not sure what the May and August English drafts are going for here.

Snow Storm:

This snow storm started three
months ago, and hasn't stopped
since.
It's been a terrible disaster,
hats being blown off all over
the place and lips getting
chapped!

Translation Notes
You may notice at this point that Gyuna doesn't actually have an accent. In the Japanese script of Phantasy Star II, Dezolisians occasionally ended their sentences with the suffix -zura - this is used in the Nagano–Yamanashi–Shizuoka prefectures in Japan and seems to be perceived as a rural dialect. The English version of PSII made an attempt to localize this by having the Dezolisians say things like "dern" and "ain't.", and use double negatives.
Gyuna is the only Dezolisian in Phantasy Star IV that still uses the -zura suffix, and he uses it at the end of almost every sentence. The English version makes no attempt to preserve this, so he sounds no different than the other Dezolisians.

Garuberk Tower:

It's said there's a tower
somewhere in Dezolis where
the demons live.
As the story goes, the tower
suddenly appeared overnight!

That's it! It's those demons
who are destroying the universe!
Algo is under a curse!

I wonder if...
what Raja says is true?

That, I don't know.
But, being what Raja is,
he may be sensing something.

All those who've seen it say
something different.

north somewhere.

He's a weird one...but,

That old man!

Whoa! Chaz got a rudeness injection in the final English script.
|

But, he was tricked by those
who were jealous of him,
and was banished into a rural
place like this.

It doesn't seem possible.

Actually Raja himself is quite
happy that he was able to get
away from that constrained
temple!
He's a good guy!
He's a good friend of mine!

Translation Notes
This is about a literal translation as you can get of the Japanese name. Standarized in the August prototype.
|
|
May Script
I'm beginning to understand!
I have a feeling it's north of
Meese.
|
|
Final Script
I didn't say that.
I have a feeling it's north of

Translation Notes
The first line in the May script should be something like, "I'm gradually narrowing it down!" (だんだんしぼれてきたズラ！)
Raja:

Raja has fallen? But he's the
kind of guy who will return
even if you kill him....This is
