Forget Japanese; anyone know French? (Deleted scene from Landstalker!)

I'm reeeeeeally wanting a translation. Apparently with the PAR code FF5420:8000 you disable 'gravity', allowing Nigel to jump over guards and access the reserved room in Mercator Castle while there are people still there. And guess who those people are? Hehe, it's Kayla and her sidekicks!

I wonder why this stuff is still in the game if you can't access it normally? Does it glitch, were there errors and they had to cut it out with a token guard? The video isn't long enough and there's no explanation/surmising. I need to get a ROM going to see for myself, I guess, but I'm too impatient and don't have enough time to play right now.

Go go high school French!

-------------------------------------------

Wally: Miss Kayla is beautiful
Ink: Beautiful
Wally: Really beautiful
Ink: Beautiful
Kayla: Hahahahahahaha! What a pleasure to see you again! Hahahahahaha... Haha!
Kayla: I have a present waiting for you! Come here!

>> YES << NO

Friday: Oh, Ryle, I do not comprehend this! Isn't this is a rival?
Friday: She steals prints! She looks much older than me!
*: Mr. Ryle, please pass by the banquets room. Your summer awaits.
Friday: Forgive me, Ryle... I caught...
Kayla: Hahahahahahaha! What a pleasure to see you again! Hahahahahaha... Haha!
Kayla: I have a present waiting for you! Come here!

YES >> NO <<

Kayla: You have rebuffed me! Never has one rebuffed me! What audacity!
Kayla: Ink! Wally!
*: Mr. Ryle, please pass by the banquets room. Your summer awaits.
Friday: To see her completely naked will cause you trouble...

-------------------------------------------

It's not a perfect translation, of course. I had to look up a couple of phrases, and I still can't make sense of the asterisk's line after Nigel is awakened on the floor.

[Genesis Knight]

Thanks, Benjamin! I'm going to post this with the YouTube vid.

To see her completely naked will cause you trouble

[Alianger]

Heh, interesting find. I think the servant (asterisk) says it's time to attend to the party you've been invited to prior to this scene.
I wonder how this stuff affects the game though? Because after this you know that the Duke is a villain.

[108 Stars]

Cool thing. Would be good to do a hack where this scene is accessible ...
When doing that, one should retranslate the stupid ballette-studio-thing back to a brothel like it was meant to be.
I´d do that text-part myself, but I could not make an exact translation since I don´t understand japanese...I could only change the text to a mixture of the original and my imagination.

[Genesis Knight]

So it WAS a hooker joint in the original?

[108 Stars]

Yeah, I told you about a year ago...I read it in a magazine...it was an article about strange changes from japanese versions to German versions...not the gore-changes though, since sexual cuts are more fascinating for us (Germany is a bit more open to sexuality than the US). And the whole idea of a ballett studio was especially stupid. It was a brothel.

[Genesis Knight]

Whoops, guess my memory isn't so hot.

[Zebbe]

I wonder if this is still in the Japanese version, undeleted.

[Genesis Knight]

Ah, good point. It'd be worth firing up a ROM to see if the servant blocks your passage.

[Zebbe]

Rusty Venture should do it. He is the man for the job.

[Rusty Venture]

Do what?

Fire up the ROM?
Block passage?
Translate information from a language I don't understand?

[Genesis Knight]

Play through the vanilla Japanese ROM to see if this scene is there. Then report back here to popular acclaim.

[Rusty Venture]

Isn't it some type of RPG?

I don't do RPG's.

[Genesis Knight]

It's an isometric platformer. Don't be afraid.

...

Wait a second. You don't know Landstalker?!!

[Rusty Venture]

Nope.

You'll have to pick a candidate that can actually read Japanese to find out about 16-bit brothels.

[Genesis Knight]

Gah, I can't believe this. We need to have a Sega Classics Rehab meeting or something. "Hi, my name is Rusty Venture and I've never played Landstalker."

[Rusty Venture]

I played "Phantasy Star 2" once and got bored with it, I then went and played "Outrun" and "Columns".

[108 Stars]

I played "Phantasy Star 2" once and got bored with it, I then went and played "Outrun" and "Columns".

Phantasy Star 2 is about as similar to Landstalker as Outrun is to Columns.

[Genesis Knight]

Listen to 108!

[Rusty Venture]

I'll listen to 108 when he says "I'll go spelunking for that 16-bit bordello."

or if he says "Ich Bin Dein Gummibär"

[Genesis Knight]

Gummy bears?

[Rusty Venture]

Singular.

[Genesis Knight]

What's the rest mean?

[Rusty Venture]

Ich Bin Dein Gummibär

Jag Är En Gummibjörn

Both mean "I am a gummibear", just in two different flavors.

[Zebbe]

I thought "Ein" was German for "A" and "En". "Ich bin ein Berliner" for example. Maybe they have "Dein" and "Ein" like we have "En" and "Ett" and English has "A" and "An"

[Rusty Venture]

I just go with what that goofy song offers for lyrics.

[Genesis Knight]

For anyone who cares; a guy tried out the Japanese version and apparently the scene is not even in the code! So, not just inaccessible - entirely omitted!

[ThunderForce]

I don't like RPGs either.

[Genesis Knight]

Hmm-kay, thanks for that contribution.

[Zebbe]

So the scene was ADDED and not used for the western version??

[Genesis Knight]

Actually, scratch that. It's in the Japanese version, but you have to have the same PAR code to get it to work. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, here's the US cart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD8xKErGhyA
