[Approach Xibalba]
JUN: It's pretty big. I
can't even see the roof through the clouds at the top.
MAYA: But it's strange,
isn't it? They must have known we were following them. Why aren’t they
at the door? Isn't this a little too quiet?
LISA: Since this is a UFO
that can fly in the sky, they probably have some really high-tech traps
here. They could kill everyone with one of those...
MAYA: That's right. I don't
think everyone will be killed, but it wouldn't be strange to find some
sort of trap inside.
EIKICHI: Hey, what kind
of trap do you think will be in there?
- Something like a
laser
- Something like an
oven
JUN: No matter what we do,
just standing here won't accomplish anything. In order to return the city
to normal, we have to hurry and get the Crystal Skull of Heaven.
JUN: Let's go, everyone!
[IF YOU CHOSE "LASER"]
EIKICHI: What? What are
these holes? Is someone peeping on me, Michel-sama?
EIKICHI: Look at me!
JUN: It's a trap! Everyone
run!
EIKICHI: They're not kidding!
Just a bit longer, and this beautiful face of mine would have had holes
in it!
LISA: Are you trying to
kill us all? What the hell was that--'look at me?'
MAYA: Okay, okay. Thanks
to Eikichi-kun, we noticed the trap. Let's not make a fuss about this and
just get out of here.
[IF YOU CHOSE "OVEN"]
EIKICHI: Hot! Hot! It's
really just like you said, Tacchan!
JUN: The door won't open!
LISA: This sucks! Are
we gonna turn into roast beef?!
MAYA: If we just clear our
minds, the oven will cool down! Our Personae will protect us! Everyone,
run!
EIKICHI: This is crazy!
Maya-nee, why are you so out of control!
EIKICHI: Whoa! M-my neck
is really burning! I wish I hadn't put these on!
[ROOM OF IMIX (B1)]
[The scene is in front of
Araya; the kids are looking through a telescope.]
EIKICHI: That's g-great,
Jun... y-your dad b-bought you t-this kind of thing.
JUN: Ehehe. I'll show everyone
the stars. Papa knows everything about stars!
LISA: Hey, that's cool!
My daddy's always working.
LISA: Hey, what kind of
person is your daddy, Jun?
JUN: Eh? Well... um...
JUN: He's really cool, and
strong--he's a great father! Really!
MAYA: Really? I don't have
a dad, so I'm jealous... that's nice, Jun-kun!
BAD KID: That's a lie! Your
mom told my mom! She said that Kurosu's dad is a crappy father!
HATEFUL KID: Heeeeeey, heeeeeeey,
Liar Kurosuuuu! Your dad's a crappy father, crappy father!
MAYA: Cut it out, you guys!
[Tatsuya beats up the kids]
EIKICHI: D-don't pay a-attention
to them... Because I-I was told something e-even worse...
JUN: Papa is...Papa is...he's
not a crappy father!
[The scene ends.]
JUN: Wh...why am I remembering
this? M-my head is...
MAYA: Jun-kun? Are you okay?
Hang in there.
JUN: I'm okay. Sorry...
everyone... Let's hurry...on.
[Talk to party members]
LISA: That's right--that
happened too... Jun was so proud of his father...
LISA: I wonder when I started
to behave the way I do towards mine?
MAYA: Was this also... Jun-kun's
heart being shown to us?
MAYA: It's not impossible...
we're going to have to do battle with that father soon.
EIKICHI: My father is...really
difficult...
EIKICHI: The ones that raise
us are our fathers, and the first big wall we bump into are our fathers...
maybe that's the way that a father has to be...
JUN: That's right... my
father was my pride! I've got to stop him.
[ROOM OF IIQ (B2)]
EIKICHI: What's... happened
here?
[Dead Masquerade members
lie on the floor.]
JUN: This one is dead too.
LISA: P, Prince Taurus...?
This is him, isn't it? The one who kidnapped Ideal-sensei from the detective
agency?
EIKICHI: H, his face is
burned completely black!
JUN: These are the ashen
remains made by a laser or something...a trap...!
EIKICHI: There are gonna
be even bigger traps from here on?
EIKICHI: The last one was
a laser... the next one will probably be an oven or something. [If you
chose 'oven' first, the two will be reversed in this line.]
MAYA: I'm worried about
Ideal-sensei. Let's hurry on!
[Look around the room and
talk to party members]
MASQUERADE MEMBER: His wounds
are burned around the edges. He was probably killed by a laser.
CORPSE OF PRINCE TAURUS:
The face is burned and turned completely to ash. There is no remainder
of his features.
EIKICHI: The next one's
gonna be an oven for sure! What should we do, Tacchan?
JUN: If I hadn't made him
into an Executive, he wouldn't have died...
JUN: In order to reclaim
the dream he once had, he called me when I was the Joker.
JUN: Dreams, ideals... sometimes
people even lose their lives for them. Maybe it's happier not to dream
at all...?
LISA: Even though he was
pretty strong, in the end, he was weak.
LISA: He did such a horrible
thing to Asacchi and Miipo! I'm not gonna feel sorry for him!
MAYA: Ideal-sensei's body
isn't here, so I think she must be alive. I wonder where she could have
gone?
[ROOM OF AKAB'AL (B3)]
[The scene here is whichever
one you didn't get at the beginning of Xibalba; if you chose the laser,
this room will have an oven, and vice versa. Refer to the translations
above.]
[ROOM OF KAN (B3)]
[The scene opens on a very
young girl and a man standing at Araya Shrine. The man holds a suitcase.]
MAYA: D...Da....d?
MAYA'S FATHER: Okay, Maya?
This shrine has the benefit of making people's dreams come true. Try making
a wish.
MAYA'S FATHER: What did
you wish for, Maya?
CHILD MAYA: I wished that
you'd always be at home.
CHILD MAYA: Is your job...
really that important?
MAYA'S FATHER: I'll come
home as fast as I can. This job is something I've wished for, ever since
I was a kid.
MAYA: Was it more important
than Mom and me? You're so... selfish!
MAYA: Liar! You said you'd
come home...even though you said you'd come home...!
MAYA: While Dad was at a
war scene doing interviews--they said that I might be able to forget...
did they know just how upset I was?
CHILD MAYA: I'll wait for
you.
CHILD MAYA: Dad... this...
this is a good-luck charm that I made...
MAYA'S FATHER: Thank you.
Look, if you cry so much, the bunny will laugh at you.
MAYA: Don't go! I wasn't
that good of a girl! You can't go!
MAYA'S FATHER'S VOICE: Please
understand, Maya... reporters are needed by the world. It's a job to be
proud of.
CHILD MAYA: That's why I'll
become a reporter who can bring dreams to everyone...
MAYA: I'm sorry... I'm okay,
so... I'm okay...
| - When you want to cry,
it's okay to cry. |
MAYA: U....uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
[She cries against Tatsuya's
chest. Tatsuya holds her.] |
| - Even if it's painful,
bear it. |
MAYA: I understand... so...
I understand... |
MAYA: I...I went into the
same field of work as my father and wanted to surpass him... maybe that's
what I thought...
MAYA: My father died chasing
his dreams...all that came back was this...
MAYA: So, I...I wanted to
do what my father wasn't able to, to support a home and a career at the
same time, and I wanted to become a great journalist...
MAYA: Do you know the poem
"Sedative," by Marie Laurencin?
MAYA:
More pathetic than a
homeless woman is a battered woman.
More pathetic than a
battered woman is a dead woman.
More pathetic than a
dead woman is a forgotten woman...
LISA: I wonder what the
proof of life is... even if you die, as long as you're not forgotten, you'll
keep living on in people's memories.
EIKICHI: But if you're forgotten...
maybe it's the same as if you died.
JUN: Since we can't live
on our own, we try to carve out an existence in the hearts of others...
chasing dreams... that might be a method of fighting loneliness...
MAYA: If everyone had really
forgotten about me, I might not be here.
JUN: We'll never forget
you! Never again, never again will we forget about you, or anyone else,
Maya-neesan!
MAYA: Thanks. I caused you
guys so much trouble. Let's go.
[Talk to characters]
MAYA: You know... I think
that I've finally found the place where I belong... it's taken ten years,
and it's the place that my Persona led me to.
MAYA: I don't want anyone
to be unhappy anymore... we've got to end this quickly.
EIKICHI: Wanting to be a
big star... wanting to be famous...
EIKICHI: Wearing cool clothes,
following trends, they're all the same. Everyone's desperately trying to
make a place for themselves.
LISA: Falling for someone,
following your dreams; they're because you want to be remembered.
LISA: But that's not good,
is it? It'd be nice if I could honestly think so, but I'm not that strong.
JUN: The dream my father
followed might have been like that too... but because of it, if everyone
else is unhappy... even if they hurt each other...
[ROOM OF CHICCHAN (B5)]
LISA: Hey, Tatsuya...haven't
we already walked a lot? I'm really tired...
LISA: I wonder if there
is a recovery spring anywhere!
EIKICHI: Yeah, it's been
a long time since we saw that old guy Igor's face, too.
EIKICHI: Pretty soon, our
Personae are gonna need pinch hitters.
MAYA: This isn't good. We
don't have time or the means to return to the city now. Everyone, we just
came in here. Let's give it our best?
LISA: Well, then that means
those Last Battalion guys can't get out either.
LISA: Those guys are proud
of their high-tech stuff, aren't they? I wonder if they've got German science,
or some other device they brought to get in and out?
EIKICHI: Saying that kind
of nonsensical stuff won't change anything. Shall we go on?
JUN: It's here--this way
is the Velvet Room, and that way is a Recovery Spring... it's written on
the doors!
EIKICHI, MAYA, LISA: Huh?
Really?
LISA: Aiya! We're
unbelievably lucky! Let's go, Tatsuya!
EIKICHI: Ooooh! Lady Luck,
thank you very much! Everybody, let's go!
MAYA: Wait a sec, you two!
No matter how you look at this, this is too good to be true!
MAYA: O-oh dear...
MAYA: This is bad! This
has got to be some kind of trap! We've got to follow those two!
MAYA: I'll go after Eikichi-kun.
Tatsuya-kun, Jun-kun, you follow Lisa!
JUN: I think what Maya-neesan
said is right. Tatsuya, let's hurry and catch up to Lisa!
[They head into the spring,
after Lisa.]
JUN: Lisa! H-huh?
JUN: It won't open! I knew
it was a trap... dammit!
JUN: No, I won't die in
this place! I promised those kids... Stop! Return!
JUN: Eh? How--?
JUN: No way! No way! It's
a joke! C'mon! Stop! Go back!
JUN: Wh, what is this? Lisa's
not here, so let's go back to the previous room for now, Tatsuya.
[Talk to Jun]
JUN: I'm worried about Maya-neesan
and Michel. Let's hurry back, Tatsuya.
[Back in the main room]
EIKICHI: It seems like the
rest of them have gone off somewhere... it's such a pain when people act
without thinking.
JUN: Lisa?
LISA: Aiya! How did
you two come out of there? I didn't see you inside!
JUN: I'm the one who wants
to ask something... what happened in there, Lisa?
LISA: Eh? No way, Jun. There
was really a recovery spring inside!
LISA: It was a total rip-off,
and I fought with Trish, so I'm positive... are you sure you weren't dreaming?
EIKICHI: Me too, I really
was in the Velvet Room.
MAYA: [huff, puff] That's
a terrible joke! I'm not dirty laundry; I would have died!
EIKICHI AND MAYA: Eh? Where
the heck did you go?
MAYA: Hmm... what could
it be? When I was in there, it really was full of traps on the other side.
MAYA: Shall we try going
one more time?
[TERMINAL (B5)]
LISA: Aiya! What's
this?
EIKICHI: Heh heh, can't
you tell by looking? No matter how you look at it, it's a stage, isn't
it? There's even spotlights!
EIKICHI: Whoa!
EIKICHI: Okay, everybody!
Now we're gonna have Michel-sama's Special Live Starting in Xibalba!
EIKICHI: Hooooo...
[He disappears.]
MAYA: Eikichi-kun!
JUN: No, don't! Maya-neesan!
LISA: You can't, Tatsuya!
This is definitely--
LISA: Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
[The scene reopens in a
classroom.]
EIKICHI: Ha ha ha, Tacchan,
you made it too! Look, check it out. Where d'ya think this is?
LISA'S VOICE: Aiyaaaaaaa!
EIKICHI: Hey...Ginko...
LISA: [pant, pant] What
the hell were you thinking? Didn't you think you were gonna die?
LISA: Hu...what? This is...
[Talk to party members]
EIKICHI: So now that we've
got this, whenever we want to go to Xibalba, we won't have to go down a
river. I'm relieved.
JUN: This looks like one
of the Last Battalion's machines. It's not very nice to Maya-neesan, but
I feel more secure using this machine.
MAYA: Hm...well, it wouldn't
matter to me if we went down the river every time, but that won't fly,
will it?
LISA: Aiya! This
is classroom 1-C in Seven Sisters, isn't it? We came here from Xibalba?
[This is your way out of
Xibalba. You can use this room to transport back to the city whenever you
need to from here on. To go back to Xibalba, just return to 1-C. Once you
leave floor 5, there’s not a fast way back up to the 5th floor until you
reach the 8th floor, at which time the green and black elevator will become
functional. (If you try to use it on the 5th floor before reaching the
8th, Jun will tell you that it’s not something that the party should be
using.) I would suggest going around the city at this time – it’s much
cheaper than healing at Trish’s Spring. Area 6 is now open at the Factory,
and you can do the Legendary Weapon sidequest at this time, if you like.
If you choose to do it, refer to the supplemental translation for that
sidequest, linked off the translation index page.]
[ROOM OF CIMI (B6)]
[Lisa stands with her blonde
kimono-clad mother. The rest of the children watch.]
CHILD LISA: See ya later!
Bye-bye!
CHILD JUN: ...
JUN: Ugh... again... why...
why do I see this scene?
CHILD MAYA: Jun-kun, isn't
your mother going to come pick you up?
CHILD JUN AND JUN: I wish
you had been my mama, Big Sis.
CHILD JUN: Mama... Mama
hates me... but Papa is a super-great father! He really is!
CHILD MAYA: I see... well,
then why don't you come home with me?
???: Hey, thanks... looks
like you've been taking care of Jun.
JUN: Argh... Wh... who is...
that?
CHILD MAYA: Hello. Um...
are you Jun-kun's father?
CHILD JUN: N-no! H, he's
my u, uncle! My uncle!
JUN'S "UNCLE": ......Well,
shall we head home... Jun?
JUN: That's not it... no...
that's right... stop...STOP IT!
[The scene returns back to
Xibalba]
JUN: Ugh...that's wrong...
EIKICHI: Hey... Jun, are
you all right?
JUN: That's right... Maya-neesan
isn't my mother...
JUN: I'm okay. Shall we
go?
[Talk to party members]
EIKICHI: Jun's uncle...
he looks a lot like Jun's father, but they're totally different types of
people.
LISA: That person... didn't
he look just like the spirit in the clock tower?
LISA: Huh? Doesn't that
seem strange? Wasn't Jun's father the one who wrote In-Laqetti? And
the person who died in the clock tower was also the one who wrote that
book.
LISA: Hey, speaking of which,
Jun's father was... no, that can't possibly be... the father that we know
is...
MAYA: .....Let me think
about this a bit, Jun-kun.
JUN: My uncle? Yes, my father
is inside here... we've got to stop him.
[ROOM OF MANIK (B6)]
EIKICHI: Damn... how long
are we gonna have to follow him? It looks like that Little Moustache Guy
has managed to get pretty far ahead of us.
JUN: While we do have four
of the Skulls in our possession, the one Hitler possesses still has accumulated
a significant amount of Ideal Energy.
JUN: If the beings that
reside in here are awakened, things are going to become very dangerous.
MAYA: Hmmm...what do you
guys think? How far do you think we've followed them?
JUN: Eh? Well, if you think
about the time it took to get this far, we've probably still got a ways
to go, but--
LISA: Whatever. All I wanna
do is get out of here fast.
EIKICHI: Um, I don't really
know, but don't you think we've only got a little bit left?
MAYA: Perhaps... So, Jun-kun's
guess is that we've still got 'a long way to go' before we catch up with
them.
MAYA: Eikichi-kun thinks
'a bit farther' and Lisa says 'whatever.'
MAYA: Then, I think...we
should catch up to him soon.
LISA: Huh? What do you mean,
Maya-chan? You've been acting strange.
MAYA: Well, well... hmmm,
what I said might have been a little bit ambiguous.
MAYA: If we convert our
guesses into distance, Jun-kun's could be long, mine would be short and
Eikichi-kun's might be medium.
MAYA: So. Okay, Tatsuya-kun,
whose guess do you agree with?
| - I agree with Jun |
- I agree with Eikichi |
| - I agree with Maya |
- I agree with Lisa |
| Who you pick
changes the length of the maze on B7. Choosing Maya is the short path,
Eikichi is the medium path with the best items, and Jun will end you up
in a long maze. Agreeing with Lisa gets the same thing as agreeing with
Maya--at least it did in my game. Please let me know if it's actually random. |
MAYA: So Tatsuya-kun, you're
saying that you think that we've got a little ways to go before we catch
up with them? [This will change a bit based on whose opinion you agreed
with.]
MAYA: The votes are divided
2 to 1 to 1 to 1. Hm, what will happen? Well, let's get moving.
[Talk to characters]
LISA: It's not gonna become
the way we imagine just by thinking about it, is it? I wonder what she
means?
EIKICHI: Okay everybody!
Please leave any quizzes to me, Michel-sama!
EIKICHI: I've been in a
High School Quiz King Tournament... okay, I lost in the preliminaries...
MAYA: I wonder what will
happen... my guess is the next path will become the same as the guess of
whoever you agreed with, Tatsuya-kun.
JUN: What's she talking
about? Maya-neesan wouldn't have said something like that for no reason.
[ROOM OF LAMAT (B8)]
LISA: This is just what
you said would happen, Maya-chan! Haime...how did you know?
LONGINUS 1: Fräulein
(Miss)... it seems that somehow you have figured out the secret of Xibalba.
MAYA: Thanks to you, but
I still don’t know all the rules yet.
EIKICHI: What's the secret,
Maya-nee?
LONGINUS 2: Well then. You
all might have realized exactly how perilous the situation is that you're
in!
LONGINUS 3: Exactly. You
all are destined to meet your end here.
MAYA: Quite sorry. We're
absolutely going to win. Isn't that right, everyone!
- Hell yeah!
- I'm not so sure...
[Saying you're not so sure
sticks you in a stronger boss fight, so I'd say the logical choice is to
show you've got balls.]
[Enter battle. This fight
is similar to other fights with Longinus Robots. Take out 2, 3, and 4 [the
black ones] since they have weaknesses, then concentrate on 1. The fight
is worth about 55,000 EXP and each robot has around 4,000 HP.]
LONGINUS 1: You've got a
lot of confidence, young lion. Throughout time, young people have become
drunk on a sense of omnipotence and commit mistakes. Now, you shall know
the same fate!
LONGINUS 1: If you were
to die here, you would have been able to end without suffering...Marionette,
I wonder where your mother has gone?
JUN: What? Ugh...
MAYA: Jun-kun, don't let
them get to you! The only thing you should be thinking of right now is
stopping your father and returning the city to normal!
LISA: Hey, Maya-chan, what's
been going on? You said something or other about a secret... there's something
weird going on.
MAYA: Sorry...I don't think
that I should be saying anything about it yet. I'll explain everything
later.
MAYA: Let's hurry on. Probably...no,
we’ll definitely catch up with Jun's father next.
[Talk to characters]
EIKICHI: Xibalba's secret,
huh...hmmmm... could it really all have been a dream? It can't be...
LISA: Maya-chan is strange.
It seems like Jun's memories are still confused... I wonder if he's okay?
MAYA: That's right... next,
we'll be able to meet Jun-kun's father. Don't you think so too, Tatsuya-kun?
That's right, isn't it?
JUN: I haven't seen her
for quite a while, but Mother should be living happily with her lover.
JUN: Ever since we left
the city ten years ago, I changed schools again and again because I caused
trouble wherever we went.
JUN: I always lived alone
with my father; I was in my mother's way... argh... my head, again...!
[ROOM OF MALUK (B8)]
MAYA: It didn't work, did
it... how in the world does this place work?
EIKICHI: Hey, Maya-nee,
you think it'd be okay to tell me what's up with this place sometime soon?
LISA: That's right, Maya-chan!
Do you really trust us that little?
MAYA: Absolutely not! I
trust all of you, but--
MAYA: No, hiding it won’t
do any good. Okay, I'm gonna be as frank as I can...
[She explains.]
JUN, TATSUYA, LISA, EIKICHI:
Whaaaaaat? Our thoughts are becoming reality?
MAYA: Hold your horses!
Before you doubt me, give some thought to what's happened up to now!
JUN: She's right... there
was the traps, and the incident with the Recovery Spring... but, why in
the world...?
EIKICHI: I'm gonna be a
star...I'm gonna be a star...I'm gonna be a star...I'm gonna be a star...I'm
gonna be a star...I'm gonna be a star...
LISA: [pointed stare] Tatsuya,
do you like me?
| - I like you. |
LISA: Hoh san luo! I'm
so happy! It's just like you said, Maya-chan! |
| - Nope. |
LISA: Ehh? Shuai luo!
Maya-chan, you liar! |
| - As a friend. |
LISA: Ehh? Shuai luo!
Maya-chan, you liar! |
| If you say that
you like her, and you chose her in the Taurus shrine, you'll get the "Really
Nice Feeling" combo between Tatsuya and Lisa. If you chose someone else
and then tell her you like her, your combo with her goes back to "Ginko's
One-Sided Love." Saying "Nope" makes your combo "Ginko, Lost Love?" and
saying "As a friend" will result in "Ginko's One-Sided Love." |
MAYA: Okay, okay! It doesn't
work quite that easily.
MAYA: I've been thinking
things like, "I hope the city returns to normal," and "we'll encounter
Jun's father soon," but nothing's happened.
MAYA: Now think about this.
Aren't everyone's fears and negative thoughts all becoming reality in enormous
proportions?
JUN: But the Velvet Room
and the Recovery Spring became reality, just like Lisa and Michel expected
them to!
MAYA: That's right... that's
why I've tried this and that, but I still can't figure out any of the logic
behind it...
MAYA: It doesn't work if
everyone thinks the same thing, nor is the power of one person's thoughts
strong enough to have an effect... perhaps the thoughts of a third party
are somehow connected.
JUN: Is that... my father...?
MAYA: I don't know. Your
father has no need to think about things that are convenient to us.
MAYA: But... if he's just
playing with us, that's a different story.
[A can suddenly appears
in Maya's hands.]
JUN, TATSUYA, LISA, EIKICHI:
Hmmmmmm... canned crab...
MAYA: Well, even if we think
about it, something we don't know is still something we don't know! Let's
move on. Try not to think of scary things, okay?
EIKICHI: You say that so
easily, but--
[A metal version of Eikichi's
father walks out of the wall.]
EIKICHI: A....AAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dad's metal is shining!
JUN, TATSUYA, LISA, MAYA:
Didn't we tell you not to think about anything?
[Enter battle]
METAL DADDY: C'mon, Eikichi!
Quit screwing around here and get your ass back to help in the restaurant!
EIKICHI: D-Dad! If I explain,
you'll understand! Eeeeeeeee!
[Start the battle. Metal
Daddy is Level 59, and attacks with a variety of strong physical attacks.
He's worth 40,000 EXP.]
[After Battle]
EIKICHI: I did it! I won
against my father!
LISA: Don't give me that
"I did it!" crap, Captain Stupid! Didn't we just tell you not to
think about stuff like that?
EIKICHI: Wa ha ha! Sorry,
sorry. But now there's nothing I'm afraid of anymore, so it's fine!
MAYA: Okay, okay. Let's
just stop this now. Let's move along.
[Talk to party members afterwards]
EIKICHI: Ah, man, do I feel
good! I'm no longer who I used to be! From now on, I'm Michel MK2!
LISA: Geez...Eikichi's still
the big dumbass that he's always been.
LISA: That reminds me--a
while ago, he fell in a ditch even though he was looking down while he
was walking, and boy, did he cry like a baby!
MAYA: But this makes it
clear, doesn't it? In Xibalba, your thoughts become reality... speaking
of which, I've had thoughts that became reality too.
MAYA: You'd better be careful
too, Tatsuya-kun.
JUN: Thoughts becoming reality...
I haven't heard anything like that from my father... what the heck is Xibalba,
anyway?
[ROOM OF OC (B9)]
CHILD LISA: Hey, hey...
Jun, your daddy is an awesome guy who can do anything, right? I wonder
if we'll get to meet him today?
CHILD JUN: Y...yeah... but
he's busy with work...
CHILD EIKICHI: I, I wish
my daddy wasn't a su-sushi chef ei-either...e-every day, we eat sushi...
CHILD MAYA: It's just about
time for everyone's parents to come pick you guys up, isn't it?
CHILD LISA: I wonder if
my mom will be first today? I'm hungry!
CHILD EIKICHI: Ah, s-somebody's
here. A guy we don't k-know. He's c-cool!
JUN’S DAD: Jun, I've come
to pick you up.
LISA: So that's it...that
really was Jun's father.
EIKICHI: That's right...
I remember. We met Jun's dad back then...
JUN: Agh...Yes...That's
my--
JUN’S DAD: Come on, Jun.
Mama is waiting.
CHILD LISA: I thought so!
He really is a great father!
CHILD MAYA: That's great,
Jun. Your dad came to pick you up!
JUN: Mama... Mama's not waiting
or anything! D-Don't--!
JUN: Mama... don't get rid
of me... don't hate me... save me, Papa!
WOMAN’S VOICE: Aaaah, what
a depressing child!
[A gold version of Jun's
mother comes through the floor.]
METAL MOM: Jun...if only
you and your father were gone, I'd be free.
METAL MOM: Ho ho ho, I wish
you'd never been born! Just disappear completely!
MAYA: Jun-kun! That's just
an illusion born from the sad memories inside of you! You aren't going
to disappear!
[Enter battle]
MAYA: Grr...everyone! Protect
Jun-kun!
METAL MOM: Aa haa haa! Jun
is my child! No matter what you do, I'm free to do what I want with him!
[Metal Mom is Level 60, magic
reflect. Physical attacks are your friends, and if you have weapons with
imbued magic, swap them out for this fight.]
[After battle]
JUN: Ooh...Mama...
MAYA: Jun-kun... even if
you say that nobody else needs you, we always will.
MAYA: Are you going to leave
us all behind and go away all by yourself?
MAYA: Will you abandon Tatsuya,
the one who is... your other self?
JUN: ...Tatsuya...
JUN: Everything... I remember
everything now... hurry... we must defeat him.
LISA: Him? You mean your
father?
JUN: He is...
JUN: If you meet him, you'll
understand. Let's hurry.
[Talk to party members]
EIKICHI: I've got no clue
what the hell is going on...the guy we met back then, wasn't that Jun's
dad?
LISA: That's right; we met
Jun's father in the past...
LISA: He looks just like
the ghost in the clock tower, but their personalities are totally different!
Which one of them is Jun's real father?
MAYA: Back then...everyone
spread rumors about what kind of person Jun-kun's father was...
MAYA: No way! That couldn't
have...but if it...
JUN: This is terrible! It's
all my fault...how should I atone for this?...Father...
[COLD SLEEP ROOM (B9)]
IDEAL-SENSEI: Th...this
is...?! I'm really here! This is undoubtedly the room where the Maiyans
sleep!
IDEAL-SENSEI: Wh-where are
you? Co-come out, please! Please come out, Maiyans!
IDEAL-SENSEI: Amazing...
I knew that Kashihara-sensei was right! The Bolontiku actually existed!
LISA: Aiya! What
are these suspicious-looking aliens?
IDEAL-SENSEI: Heh heh heh...aaa
haa haa haa haa haa! Serves that bitch right!
IDEAL-SENSEI: Well, hurry
up and awaken! Lead humans to Idealian!
JUN: Wait, Okamura-sensei!
This entire situation was born of my dead father's and your expectations
and wild delusions!
IDEAL-SENSEI: What did you
just say? This? This is a delusion? Who in the hell are you?
JUN: I am the son of the
one person other than you and King--no, Tatsuya Sudou-that was entrusted
with In-Laqetti--Akinari Kashihara!
JUN: I'm sure my father
told you that if the Oracle of Maiya was completed... my father, he didn't
wish for the destruction of the world or anything!
IDEAL-SENSEI: Kashihara-sensei's
child...so you're that woman's son. Tell me, do you ridicule your father
like that bitch always did?
IDEAL-SENSEI: Your mother
never had an inkling of understanding the greatness of Sensei's research!
The way she treated him was horrible! But I'm different from her!
IDEAL-SENSEI: I would have
done anything, even die, to prove Sensei's research! I'm the one who should
have been his wife!
[The Bolontiku come out
of the cold sleep chambers. They smack Okamura out of the way.]
[Enter battle]
BOLONTIKU: Kyaha! Food,
food!
JUN: Can't you feel it?
They have the same power of the stars that we do!
MAYA: This means...could
it be? Uh oh! With five of them, this could be bad!
[The Bolontiku are Level
58. They have the same properties as the Ultimate Persona; fighting them
is sort of like fighting everyone's Shadow at once. My advice: take out
the magic reflect one--the one farthest to the left--then hit the rest
with your strongest magic.]
[After battle]
EIKICHI: Seems like she's
okay. Just lost consciousness. Geez, what a crazy lady!
JUN: I think... she planned
to die. One of the steps to the completion of the Oracle was the live sacrifice
of the "Maiyan Maiden"...
JUN: My father seemed to
have thought that she was the Maiyan Maiden, a descendant of the Maiyans
who was rich in their blood.
JUN: The completion of the
Oracle was, in other words, her death. The truth is it was nothing but
delusions.
LISA: Jun, you said a moment
ago that your father was dead; but, who was that person we saw?
JUN: That wasn't my real
father. I'm sure that was--
MAYA: It's a fake that was
born from our rumors, isn't it? The same as our Shadows...another Self
created inside of someone else.
LISA: Seriously? We did
spread rumors about Jun's father when we were kids...but...
EIKICHI: Rumors have been
becoming reality since way back then?
MAYA: "People know themselves
only by who they are to others." Our Selves and our existence originate
inside of other people.
MAYA: By comparing ourselves
to others, we take notice of the image of our Self held by others, and
"we" come into being.
MAYA: We can only think
of ourselves in terms of the number of other people who know us.
MAYA: Through rumors, another
Self originates. It sounds so ironic that it's almost sarcastic.
JUN: This is all my fault...
I really didn't want you guys to see my real father... everyone told lies
about him.
MAYA: It wasn't your fault,
Jun-kun... we've been watched by someone ever since then. I know that for
sure now.
MAYA: Something frighteningly
cynical, full of hateful intent... a great existence...
EIKICHI: That's our real
enemy--the one who's been making rumors into reality... But why?
JUN: It'll be faster for
us to ask him ourselves. We should meet him soon. I can hear him, laughing
while he beckons us forth.
[Talk to party members afterward]
LISA: That's right; Philemon
was going to tell us about this!
LISA: The one that's been
watching us since then... why? Why did he do this?
EIKICHI: The things we thought
became reality... this room, those aliens... I wonder if they were thought
up by this woman?
EIKICHI: If it's as Maya-nee
said, I can't just smile and nod when anything else happens. Let's put
an end to this, fast.
JUN: My real father is--I'm
sure the only place he belonged was in a dream, isolated from reality...
JUN: But, he was my gentle
father... why didn't I hold my head high and tell everyone that he was
my father back then?
MAYA: In the end, she was
also bound by the thoughts of her own past... I feel sorry for her.
MAYA: Is a person's death...
eternal...? But if that makes the people left behind unhappy...
MAYA: Tatsuya-kun, if...
no, it's nothing.

and the end of the game.] |
