Quest giver Baderon
in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks
Baderon was once a sellsword, a fighter for hire, and learned to read the script of the Sahagin, the "fishbacks," from orders taken off dead foes. He sees the Victory attack was a decoy, guesses Swiftperch is the real target, and sends you to Reyner
.
The Limsa climax: the Reavers' real target is Swiftperch, and the banquet reveals Leviathan
and makes you the Admiral's envoy.
has a task for a trusted adventurer., the missive intended for Ahtzapfyn
is written in Sahagin script, and details plans for the destruction of the Victory. Though the message mentions a diversionary strike on Swiftperch, the Wench's proprietor seems convinced that the Serpent Reavers are lying, and that the struggling settlement is their true target. Take Baderon's hastily translated note and deliver it to Commodore Reyner at the Coral Tower. is grateful for Baderon's warning, he believes Swiftperch is but one of several settlements which the Serpent Raiders could be planning to attack. While the commodore debates where to deploy his forces, a Yellowjacket arrives bearing word that South Tidegate is being assaulted by the Sahagin. Lacking the resources to defend both locations, Reyner instructs you to make haste to Swiftperch and speak with the Yellowjacket, Ryssfloh
.
, the Sahagin and their pirate allies were being manipulated by a masked mage she calls an “Ascian.” Though much remains shrouded in mystery, not least the strange black crystal you discovered near the mage's remains, the truth behind the kidnappings has finally come to light. Return to the Coral Tower and report to Commodore Reyner. is interrupted by the appearance of Admiral Merlwyb
, who commends you for your brave deeds. In recognition of your services to Limsa Lominsa, she insists that you attend a forthcoming banquet as her honored guest. Proud and daunted in equal measure, you look forward to what promises to be a memorable occasion.Next in the play order: High Society. Reyner says few get this honor, not even the Admiral's officers, but you earned it.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
'Ere's a rough translation o' the message.
Baderon's Jottings is the 'rough translation' Baderon hands you. Its item text describes writing that cannot be understood, scribbled all over it.
Remember, no killin' the smallfolk, or it'll be your blood what stains Lord Leviathan
The Reavers' captain wants the smallfolk alive for 'Lord Leviathan's altars'. That is why the kidnappings happen. The banquet (step 21) tells you who Leviathan is.
They are known as the Bringers of Chaos...or Ascians, to give them their proper name.
Y'shtola names the masked mage from Just Deserts (step 9) an Ascian. That is one of the 'Bringers of Chaos' who steer the beast tribes. From here on, Ascians keep appearing in the story.
Wait. I do begin to see. You have been blessed with a special gift.
Y'shtola is surprised that you know where she comes from. Yet she never spoke of her homeland. Then she realizes you have been 'blessed with a special gift'.
And your assistance is much appreciated, too, Lady Y'shtola
This is easy to miss. Ryssfloh's regards 'to the Scions' are the first mention of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. This chart ends with that group (step 29).
The Lominsan Ring is your first unique quest reward. Like other items of its kind, it cannot be sold or desynthesized.
In the traditional Roegadyn language, the first name Merlwyb means 'Sea Woman'. The family name Bloefhiswyn means 'Blue Fish's daughter'.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Ryssfloh is at Swiftperch, waiting for the help Commodore Reyner promised to send.
Ryssfloh sees how far you have come since the "wide-eyed whelp" fresh off the ferry. Ryssfloh leads the defense of Swiftperch, a town its people rebuilt after the Calamity, a great disaster, then closes the kidnapping case and sends regards to the Scions.
Baderon has read the coded letter and wants to share what it says with an adventurer he trusts.
Baderon was once a sellsword, a fighter for hire, and learned to read the script of the Sahagin, the "fishbacks," from orders taken off dead foes. He sees the Victory attack was a decoy, guesses Swiftperch is the real target, and sends you to Reyner.
This Yellowjacket is one of the soldiers under Commodore Reyner in Limsa Lominsa.
A Yellowjacket rushes in: the Sahagin are attacking South Tidegate, and the garrison needs help at once. At Swiftperch, Yellowjackets fight beside you, shouting "For Limsa Lominsa!" Back at the Coral Tower, one announces the Admiral and cheers your seat at the feast.
Glazrael is at Swiftperch with the defenders, ready for the pirates.
Glazrael is fed up with the pirates' "feint after bloody feint." In the fight, Glazrael battles beside you, eager to "split some heads," and urges you to keep pummeling the masked mage.
Merlwyb has not met you face to face as this quest begins.
Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of Limsa Lominsa, thanks you at the Coral Tower. You seem familiar to her. She calls Baderon a good friend and invites you to a banquet as guest of honor. Her names mean "Sea Woman" and "Blue Fish's daughter" in Roegadyn.
Y'shtola is not with you as this quest begins, while the kidnappings remain unsolved.
Y'shtola arrives when she senses the masked mage and fights beside you. She names him an Ascian, one of the "Bringers of Chaos" who steer the beast tribes. She is a Sharlayan and, surprised you know it, decides you have "a special gift."
Ahtbyrm is not seen here; his father's pirates attacked the Victory.
Baderon mentions him only through his father: the tattoo-faced Serpent Reavers were said to be paying "Ahtbyrm's old man."
Commodore Reyner is at the Coral Tower, hoping for a quiet day, unaware of Baderon's warning.
Reyner trusts Baderon, who is "rarely wrong," but a Sahagin attack on South Tidegate takes his troops. He sends you to Swiftperch instead, wishing the Warriors of Light still walked among them. Afterward he praises you warmly and presents Admiral Merlwyb.
The game was written in Japanese and rewritten, not just translated, for each language. Here is what the other versions say, next to the English.
| Japanese | スウィフトパーチで蠢く闇 ‘Darkness Stirring at Swiftperch’ |
|---|---|
| French | La théorie du complot ‘The Conspiracy Theory’ |
| German | Ablenkende Manöver ‘Diversionary Manoeuvres’ |
Good to 'ave ye aboard, lass/lad. Now then...where to start?
J'ai pas toujours été l'honnête homme que tu connais.
‘I haven't always been the honest man you know.’
French opens with a confession that he was not always honest; English just welcomes you aboard.
Back when I was younger an' nastier, I earned me livin' as a sellsword. In that business, if ye wanted to know what yer enemy was up to, you 'ad to learn to read the orders ye prised from the cold dead 'ands of 'is mates. That's 'ow I came to know 'ow to read yer message.
Weißt du, früher, als ich noch jung und schneidig war, da hab ich mir meine Gil als Söldner verdient.
‘You know, back then, when I was still young and dashing, I earned my gil as a mercenary.’
English: Baderon was younger and nastier; German: he was young and dashing.
Truth be told, the script was only too bloody familiar. Them's Sahagin letters, lass/lad. An' I should know─I've gutted more fishback messengers than I can count.
Oui, c'est la langue utilisée par un ennemi avec lequel j'ai souvent croisé le fer : les Sahuagins !
‘Yes, it is the language used by an enemy with whom I have often crossed swords: the Sahagin!’
こいつは俺が、かつて何度も刃を交えた敵、蛮族「サハギン族」の文字だ。
‘These are the letters of the beast tribe “Sahagin”, an enemy I crossed blades with many times in the past.’
French is far milder: he merely crossed swords with them, no gutting of messengers.
Japanese is milder: he crossed blades with them; nothing about gutting messengers.
It gets worse, though... The plan to blow up the Victory is all in 'ere, right down to the fine details.
Was sie bedeutet, musst du kapieren, und das kann dir der alte Baderon verraten.
‘You have to grasp what it means, and old Baderon can tell you that.’
German has him boast that he can tell you the meaning; English warns it gets worse.
The fishbacks ain't interested in the Maelstrom's baby! They're after men, just like they've always been. They're sendin' their pirate lackeys after a civilian target.
サハギン族のことだ、裏で何か企んでいるに違いない。
‘It's the Sahagin we're talking about; they must be scheming something behind the scenes.’
English says the Sahagin are after people, as always; Japanese says they must be scheming something in secret.
'Ere's a rough translation o' the message.
Ich hab dir die Sahagin-Klaue mal in verständliches Eorzäisch übersetzt.
‘I've translated the Sahagin scrawl into understandable Eorzean for you.’
German puns: "Klaue" means both a claw and messy handwriting, fitting the fish-folk.
Oh, an' give 'im an 'and, eh? Ye can be damn sure 'e'll need one.
下手すりゃ、リムサ・ロミンサの未来に関わることだ。
‘If things go badly, it could affect the future of Limsa Lominsa.’
English says he will surely need a hand; Japanese says Limsa Lominsa's future could be at stake.
Yes, I am Reyner. Ah, you must be the adventurer whose name seems to be on everyone's lips.
Et tu es... ?
‘And you are...?’
French Reyner does not recognise you and asks who you are; English Reyner already knows.
You bear an urgent message from Baderon? Why do I get the feeling that my hopes for a quiet evening/afternoon are about to be cruelly dashed? Tell me, what is afoot?
Voilà qui n'est guère rassurant...
‘That is hardly reassuring...’
……ふむ、穏やかではないな。
‘...Hm, that does not sound good.’
French drops his wry joke about a ruined quiet evening and is simply worried.
Japanese drops the wry joke about a ruined quiet evening; he is simply serious.
I will marshal the Yellowjackets for battle immediately.
Je ne peux pas mobiliser les casaques jaunes à un endroit sans être certain qu'il s'agit du bon.
‘I cannot mobilize the Yellowjackets to a place without being certain it is the right one.’
English: he will marshal the Yellowjackets immediately; French: he cannot mobilize them without knowing where.
The only question is where to send them. While I concur with Baderon's assessment that the attack on the Drydocks was intended as a diversion, Swiftperch is but one of several possible targets for the main thrust.
Baderon pense qu'il s'agit du Martinet, moi j'ai tendance à croire qu'il s'agit de l'un des deux barrages.
‘Baderon thinks it's Le Martinet; I tend to believe it's one of the two dams.’
English says Swiftperch is just one of several possible targets; French says he leans toward one of the two dams.
The only question is where to send them. While I concur with Baderon's assessment that the attack on the Drydocks was intended as a diversion, Swiftperch is but one of several possible targets for the main thrust.
Nur meinte Baderon ja selbst, dass wir nicht mit Sicherheit sagen können, ob wirklich die Tölpelturm-Siedlung das Ziel der Piraten ist.
‘Hmm ... Only Baderon himself said that we can't say for certain whether the Tölpelturm settlement really is the pirates' target.’
English: he concurs with Baderon's assessment; German: Baderon himself admitted they cannot be sure of the target.
The only question is where to send them. While I concur with Baderon's assessment that the attack on the Drydocks was intended as a diversion, Swiftperch is but one of several possible targets for the main thrust.
Alle möglichen Orte entlang des Nord- und Süddamms, der die Sahagin draußen hält, kommen genauso in Frage.
‘All sorts of places along the North and South Dam, which keeps the Sahagin out, are just as possible.’
German specifies the other candidates: points along the dams that hold the Sahagin back.
By the Navigator... It seems my decision has been made for me.
Bon sang, ils choisissent bien leur moment.
‘Damn it, they certainly pick their moment.’
ええい、何が起きているというのだ……。
‘Argh, what on earth is happening...’
English: his decision has been made for him; French: they certainly picked their moment.
English: his decision has been made for him; Japanese: he asks what on earth is happening.
Aye, the Serpent Reavers are in league with the Sahagin.
そうか……。「海蛇の舌」は、サハギン族と手を結んだ海賊だ。
‘I see... the Sea Serpent's Tongue are pirates who have joined hands with the Sahagin.’
This is the pirate crew that attacks Swiftperch. The English name keeps the serpent but drops the tongue.
...Which means there is every chance this assault on Tidegate may yet prove to be another feint. The fact remains, however, that we can ill afford to ignore it. And that leaves Swiftperch vulnerable to those pirate traitors.
Willst du damit sagen, dass der Sahagin-Angriff auch ein Ablenkungsmanöver ist?
‘Are you trying to say that the Sahagin attack is a diversion too?’
English: he himself concludes the assault may be another feint; German: he asks whether you are suggesting it.
...Which means there is every chance this assault on Tidegate may yet prove to be another feint. The fact remains, however, that we can ill afford to ignore it. And that leaves Swiftperch vulnerable to those pirate traitors.
やはり、本命は「スウィフトパーチ入植地」なのか！？
‘So the real target after all is the “Swiftperch settlement”!?’
Japanese ends on him concluding Swiftperch is the true target; nothing about the Tidegate attack being unignorable.
It is at times such as these that I wish the Warriors of Light yet walked among us. But wishes will avail us naught. your name, you must serve in their absence. Make for Swiftperch with all haste and lend your strength to the squads I can spare for the settlement's defense.
Lauf und hilf den Verteidigern - ich kann keine Leute entbehren!
‘Run and help the defenders - I can't spare any people!’
English: he sends the squads he can spare; German: he says he cannot spare anyone.
In any case, do you know what you're fighting for here? This place─Swiftperch─it was rebuilt by folk who stood strong in the face of every hardship the Calamity threw their way.
Ce hameau paie pas de mine en apparence, mais il est très important pour nous tous, car c'est ici qu'a commencé la reconstruction du pays après le septième fléau.
‘This hamlet doesn't look like much, but it is very important to all of us, because this is where the rebuilding of the country began after the Seventh Calamity.’
English says resilient folk rebuilt the place; French says the country's rebuilding began here.
In any case, do you know what you're fighting for here? This place─Swiftperch─it was rebuilt by folk who stood strong in the face of every hardship the Calamity threw their way.
Aber dir ist klar, dass das hier kein Zuckerschlecken wird.
‘But you know that this won't be a piece of cake.’
English asks if you know what you're fighting for; German warns that this will be no easy job.
Feint after bloody feint! Those pirates are getting too damn clever by half!
Diese Piraten sind gerissener, als es ihre Visagen vermuten lassen!
‘These pirates are more cunning than their ugly mugs would suggest!’
German jokes that the pirates are smarter than their faces look.
'Ere now, I thought all them Yellowjacket worms was meant to be busy. That useless scrag ain't followed the plan, 'as 'e?
Haben wohl die Karte verkehrt rum gehalten!
‘They must have held the map upside down!’
English blames a useless scrag for not following the plan; German jokes they held the map upside down.
'Ere now, I thought all them Yellowjacket worms was meant to be busy. That useless scrag ain't followed the plan, 'as 'e?
Ce crétin d'Ahtzapfyn a dû foirer son coup...
‘That cretin Ahtzapfyn must have botched his job...’
French names the bungler outright: Ahtzapfyn.
Remember, no killin' the smallfolk, or it'll be your blood what stains Lord Leviathan's altars!
Nous avons besoin de leur sang pour assouvir la soif du Seigneur Léviathan.
‘We need their blood to quench the thirst of Lord Leviathan.’
こいつらは、リヴァイアサン様に捧げる、大事な土産だからな！
‘These ones are precious gifts to offer to Lord Leviathan!’
English threatens the pirates' own blood on Leviathan's altars; French says the villagers' blood is needed for Leviathan.
English threatens the pirates' own blood on Leviathan's altars; Japanese calls the villagers precious offerings for Leviathan.
The Yellowbellies ye can butcher at will! Them dirt-eatin' slugs'll be crushed under the full might o' the Serpent Reavers!
Aber die gelbe Plage könnt ihr gerne massakrieren.
‘But the yellow plague you're welcome to massacre.’
German insult is "the yellow plague"; English puns on "Yellowbellies", meaning cowards.
The rest of you─we meet their charge where we stand! Let us bear the commodore word of our victory, or no word at all!
Le capitaine Hansred compte sur nous, ne le décevons pas !
‘Captain Hansred is counting on us, let's not disappoint him!’
English vows to bring word of victory or no word at all; French just says not to disappoint him.
Yellowjacket Infantry: For Limsa Lominsa!
イエロージャケット陸戦兵たち: オー！
‘Yeah!’
Japanese soldiers just roar a cheer; English has them shout for Limsa Lominsa.
Rargh! I'll gut all you Yellowbellies an' dance on yer gizzards!
Wir werden eure Eingeweide in eure hübschen gelben Jäckchen packen!
‘We'll stuff your guts into your pretty little yellow jackets!’
English threatens to dance on their gizzards; German threatens to stuff their guts into their yellow jackets.
More of the bastards!? Come on, then!
On en viendra jamais à bout !
‘We'll never get the better of them!’
押されているのか！？
‘Are we being pushed back!?’
English defiantly says come on then; French despairs that they will never get through them.
English defiantly says come on then; Japanese worriedly asks if they are being pushed back.
All right, ye scurvy bastards... Here's a trick to make ye soil yer breeches!
Tremblez devant le pouvoir des messagers divins !
‘Tremble before the power of the divine messengers!’
こうなったら、天使いの秘術を使う！
‘In that case, I'll use the secret art of the heavenly envoys!’
English jokes about a trick to make you soil your breeches; French invokes the power of the divine messengers.
English jokes about a trick to make you soil your breeches; Japanese announces the secret art of the heavenly envoys.
Least I went down fighting...
レ、レイナー隊長ォォ……。
‘C-Captain Reyner...’
Japanese has him cry his commander's name as he falls, not take pride in fighting.
So cold...
Llymlaen, guide-moi jusqu'à toi...
‘Llymlaen, guide me to you...’
油断したか……。
‘Did I let my guard down...’
English: the dying soldier says so cold; French: he prays to Llymlaen to guide him.
Japanese has the fallen soldier blame his own carelessness; English has him feel the cold.
Whence springs this preternatural might!?
Intéressant...
‘Interesting...’
Dies ist eine ... unvorhergesehene Wendung.
‘This is an ... unforeseen turn.’
English: the mage asks in alarm where this might comes from; French: he merely says interesting.
German mage calmly notes an unexpected turn; English mage is alarmed at your strength.
F20223O mournful voice of creation! Send unto me a creature of the abyss, my thrall to command, that I may smite mine enemies!01
F20223Ô essences primitives de la création !
‘O primal essences of creation!’
F20223Zürnende Stimme der Schöpfung!
‘Wrathful voice of creation!’
English calls on the mournful voice of creation; French calls on the primal essences of creation.
English calls the voice of creation mournful; German calls it wrathful.
Your very being imperils the plan. You cannot be suffered to live.
Damit wird dein armseliger Rest an Standkraft gleich an der Wurzel ausgerupft werden.
‘With this, your pitiful remnant of staying power will be plucked out at the root.’
English says your existence endangers the plan; German mocks your pitiful remaining strength.
Unnngh... That the wisdom of the Paragons should be brought low...by mere mortals...
我ら「天使い」の……秘術が……。……打ち破られるとは……。
‘The secret arts of us, the envoys of heaven... To think they could be broken...’
Non... Comment un(e) simple mortel(le) peut surpasser le pouvoir des messagers divins !? C'est impossible... !
‘No... How can a mere mortal surpass the power of the divine messengers!? It's impossible...!’
Nächstes Mal ... wird dich die Macht der Himmelsboten ... ver...nichten.
‘Next time... the power of heaven's messengers... will des...troy you.’
我ら「天使い」の……秘術が……。
‘The secret arts of us heavenly envoys...’
天使い (amatsukai) is written with 天使, 'angel'. The English name 'Paragons' has no heaven in it.
Y'shtola hears the name and takes it as proof that the Ascians are behind it.
The masked mage threatens you with them. Y'shtola explains that this is the beast tribes' name for an Ascian like him.
English calls them the Paragons; Japanese calls them heavenly envoys.
“Paragons,” did he say? Then it is as I feared.
Les messagers divins !? Voilà qui confirme mes craintes...
‘The divine messengers!? That confirms my fears...’
Himmelsboten ...? Dann ist es so, wie ich befürchtet habe ...
‘Heaven's messengers...? Then it is as I feared...’
The French and German names match the Japanese 天使い, 'envoys of heaven', where the English says 'Paragons'. They come from the 1.0 story. A Realm Reborn made them another name for the Ascians.
They are known as the Bringers of Chaos...or Ascians, to give them their proper name.
Ein Ascian also ... einer der „Himmelsboten“, wie die Wilden Stämme sie nennen.
‘An Ascian, then... one of the “heaven's messengers”, as the beast tribes call them.’
Pardon? You would know if we Sharlayans have encountered Ascians before? ...I have never spoken to you of my homeland. How did you know whence I hail?
Est-ce que c'est pour cette raison que j'ai quitté Sharlayan ?
‘Is that the reason I left Sharlayan?’
Ob ich deswegen von Sharlayan hierher gekommen bin?
‘Whether I came here from Sharlayan because of that?’
それが、シャーレアンから来た目的か……ですって？
‘Is that the purpose of my coming from Sharlayan... you ask?’
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; French: you ask if that is why she left Sharlayan.
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; German: you ask if that is why she came from Sharlayan.
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; Japanese: you ask if that is why she came from Sharlayan.
And your assistance is much appreciated, too, Lady Y'shtola. Please give our regards to the Scions.
Du und der Bund der Morgenröte seid ein Segen für Limsa Lominsa.
‘You and the League of the Dawn are a blessing for Limsa Lominsa.’
A Bund is a league or alliance. The English 'Scions' means heirs.
And your assistance is much appreciated, too, Lady Y'shtola. Please give our regards to the Scions.
「暁」の皆さまにも、よろしくお伝えください。
‘Please give my regards to everyone at “Dawn” as well.’
Japanese calls her group "Dawn"; English calls them the Scions.
The thread of your fate forms a part of a most intriguing tapestry. Mayhap we will be afforded the chance to speak more in the near future.
Je savais que nos routes finiraient par se recroiser, mais j'ignorais que nos destins seraient si étroitement liés.
‘I knew our paths would cross again, but I didn't know our destinies would be so closely linked.’
English says your fate is part of an intriguing tapestry; French says your destinies and hers are closely linked.
A fearsome opponent...against whom you shall not stand alone!
Ouf ! Je suis arrivée à temps. Je vais te donner un coup de patte !
‘Phew! I made it in time. I'm going to lend you a paw!’
Je vais te donner un coup de patte !
‘I'll lend you a paw!’
Y'shtola is a cat-eared Miqo'te. Her paw is a feline twist on «donner un coup de main», 'to lend a hand'.
English says you won't stand alone; French says she'll lend you a paw, a pun on lending a hand.
I have little doubt that you shall one day join the ranks of Eorzea's greatest adventurers. It is but a matter of time.
Sei dir sicher, dass du einmal eine bedeutende Rolle in Eorzeas Schicksal spielen wirst.
‘Be sure that you will one day play an important role in Eorzea's fate.’
English says you will join Eorzea's greatest adventurers; German says you will play an important role in Eorzea's fate.
I have little doubt that you shall one day join the ranks of Eorzea's greatest adventurers. It is but a matter of time.
イエロージャケットの隊長……レイナーが認めたのだ、間違いない。
‘The captain of the Yellowjackets... Reyner has recognised it, so there's no mistake.’
Japanese has Reyner vouch for it on his own authority; English says it is a matter of time.
Clearly, Baderon's eye for potential remains as sharp as ever, though I doubt even he imagined you capable of such feats.
Und der Admiral wird genauso beeindruckt sein, wie prächtig du dich hier in Limsa machst.
‘And the Admiral will be just as impressed by how splendidly you are doing here in Limsa.’
メルウィブ提督も、さぞやお喜びになるだろう！
‘Admiral Merlwyb too will surely be delighted!’
L'amirale Bloefhiswyn, elle aussi, sera ravie d'entendre le récit de tes aventures.
‘Admiral Bloefhiswyn, too, will be delighted to hear the tale of your adventures.’
English says even Baderon never imagined such feats; German says the Admiral will be just as impressed.
English says even Baderon never imagined such feats; Japanese says Admiral Merlwyb will surely be delighted.
French says the Admiral will be delighted to hear of you; English talks only of Baderon.
Might you favor me with your own account of the day's events? Such victories bear retelling!
Si tu as un moment à m'accorder, j'aimerais que tu m'en dises un peu plus à ton sujet.
‘If you have a moment to spare, I'd like you to tell me a little more about yourself.’
Je dois t'avouer que ton passé m'intrigue, [name].
‘I must admit that your past intrigues me, [name].’
English asks for your account of the day's events; French asks you to tell more about yourself.
French Reyner is curious about your past; English Reyner wants today's battle retold.
You seem familiar. Have we met? Mayhap at a medal presentation or some such?
君は……？なんだ、この頭の中がうずく感じは……。
‘You are...? What is this throbbing in my head...’
Merlwyb's head throbs when she sees you, and her memory clouds over. It hints at the forgotten Warriors of Light.
You seem familiar. Have we met? Mayhap at a medal presentation or some such?
Ton visage m'est familier, mais je n'arrive pas à me rappeler pourquoi...
‘Your face is familiar to me, but I can't manage to remember why...’
なんだ、この頭の中がうずく感じは……。
‘What is this throbbing feeling inside my head...?’
French drops the medal guess; she simply cannot place why you seem familiar.
Japanese has her feel a strange ache in her head on seeing you, no talk of medals.
No? Have you kin in the Maelstrom?
ダメだ。まるで霞がかかったように……。
‘It's no use. It's as if veiled in haze...’
まるで霞がかかったように……。
‘It's just as if a haze had settled over it...’
Japanese has her say her memory is hazed over; English asks about relatives in the Maelstrom.
I'll be sworn I─ But it is of little matter. To business.
Nein, natürlich nicht. Das wäre mir bekannt ...
‘No, of course not. I would know about it ... So, to business!’
C'est étrange, j'aurais juré t'avoir déjà vu(e) ailleurs...
‘Hm... It's strange, I would have sworn I had already seen you somewhere else...’
English starts to swear to something; German firmly says no, of course not, she would know.
French finishes the thought: she would swear she has seen you before. English breaks off.
I'll be sworn I─ But it is of little matter. To business.
でも何故だ。
‘But why?’
English waves the thought aside as of little matter; Japanese wonders why she feels such nostalgia.
I'll be sworn I─ But it is of little matter. To business.
お互い、初めて会うはずなのに、こんなに懐かしさを感じるとは……。
‘Though this should be our first meeting, to feel such nostalgia...’
Japanese says she feels nostalgia though they have never met; English cuts off and moves on.
I am Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of Limsa Lominsa.
Ich bin Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral des Mahlstroms.
‘I am Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of the Maelstrom.’
English calls her Admiral of Limsa Lominsa; German calls her Admiral of the Maelstrom.
A token of our gratitude. What worth is high regard without just reward, after all? Ha!
Schließlich lebt niemand von Luft und Ehre allein.
‘After all, nobody lives on air and honour alone.’
German twists a proverb: nobody lives on air and honour alone.
Your fellow guests will be eager to take the measure of their newest hero, and some do not take kindly to being kept waiting. Till then, may you walk in the light of the Crystal.
D'ici là, continue de veiller sur Limsa Lominsa, et que la bienveillance du Cristal te montre la voie.
‘Until then, keep watching over Limsa Lominsa, and may the Crystal's kindness show you the way.’
Ohne unseren Ehrengast werden wir kaum anfangen können und einige der Piraten werden ziemlich mürrisch, wenn sie zu lange aufs Essen warten müssen.
‘Without our guest of honor we can hardly begin, and some of the pirates get rather grumpy when they have to wait too long for their food.’
これからも我々に力を貸してくれたまえ。
‘Please keep lending us your strength from now on.’
English says the other guests are eager to size up their newest hero; French asks you to keep watching over Limsa Lominsa.
English says the guests are eager to size up their newest hero; German says the feast can hardly begin without the guest of honor.
English says the guests are eager to size up their newest hero; Japanese asks you to keep lending them your strength.

Good to 'ave ye aboard, lass/lad. Now then...where to start?
J'ai pas toujours été l'honnête homme que tu connais.
‘I haven't always been the honest man you know.’
French opens with a confession that he was not always honest; English just welcomes you aboard.
Back when I was younger an' nastier, I earned me livin' as a sellsword. In that business, if ye wanted to know what yer enemy was up to, you 'ad to learn to read the orders ye prised from the cold dead 'ands of 'is mates. That's 'ow I came to know 'ow to read yer message.
Weißt du, früher, als ich noch jung und schneidig war, da hab ich mir meine Gil als Söldner verdient.
‘You know, back then, when I was still young and dashing, I earned my gil as a mercenary.’
English: Baderon was younger and nastier; German: he was young and dashing.
Truth be told, the script was only too bloody familiar. Them's Sahagin letters, lass/lad. An' I should know─I've gutted more fishback messengers than I can count.
Oui, c'est la langue utilisée par un ennemi avec lequel j'ai souvent croisé le fer : les Sahuagins !
‘Yes, it is the language used by an enemy with whom I have often crossed swords: the Sahagin!’
Japaneseこいつは俺が、かつて何度も刃を交えた敵、蛮族「サハギン族」の文字だ。
‘These are the letters of the beast tribe “Sahagin”, an enemy I crossed blades with many times in the past.’
French is far milder: he merely crossed swords with them, no gutting of messengers.
Japanese is milder: he crossed blades with them; nothing about gutting messengers.
It gets worse, though... The plan to blow up the Victory is all in 'ere, right down to the fine details.
Was sie bedeutet, musst du kapieren, und das kann dir der alte Baderon verraten.
‘You have to grasp what it means, and old Baderon can tell you that.’
German has him boast that he can tell you the meaning; English warns it gets worse.
Looks like they meant to raise eight kinds of 'ell in western La Noscea, then 'it the Maelstrom's new flagship in the confusion.
The point bein', the attack on the Victory weren't the act of a few rebellious pirates─'twas a key part o' some canny bastard's grand plan.
But if I'm readin' this aright, the attack itself came much too early. I'll wager they panicked when they saw ye was on to 'em, rushed in to do the job, an' buggered it up.
Hmmm... Them tattoo-faced bastards as they say was payin' Ahtbyrm's old man, they're with the Serpent Reavers, right? ...But none o' their crew was there, was they? Did they 'ave summat better to do, or what?
...Seven 'ells! I've got it all backwards! That mess at the Victory─that was meant to be the bloody distraction!
The fishbacks ain't interested in the Maelstrom's baby! They're after men, just like they've always been. They're sendin' their pirate lackeys after a civilian target.
サハギン族のことだ、裏で何か企んでいるに違いない。
‘It's the Sahagin we're talking about; they must be scheming something behind the scenes.’
English says the Sahagin are after people, as always; Japanese says they must be scheming something in secret.
This bit about raisin' 'ell in western La Noscea...that's where it'll be. Summat tells me Swiftperch is about to get 'it, an' 'it 'ard!
'Ere's a rough translation o' the message.
Baderon's Jottings is the 'rough translation' Baderon hands you. Its item text describes writing that cannot be understood, scribbled all over it.
Ich hab dir die Sahagin-Klaue mal in verständliches Eorzäisch übersetzt.
‘I've translated the Sahagin scrawl into understandable Eorzean for you.’
German puns: "Klaue" means both a claw and messy handwriting, fitting the fish-folk.
Take it to Commodore Reyner at the Coral Tower, an' tell 'im 'e's in fer a busy day.
Oh, an' give 'im an 'and, eh? Ye can be damn sure 'e'll need one.
下手すりゃ、リムサ・ロミンサの未来に関わることだ。
‘If things go badly, it could affect the future of Limsa Lominsa.’
English says he will surely need a hand; Japanese says Limsa Lominsa's future could be at stake.
Yes, I am Reyner. Ah, you must be the adventurer whose name seems to be on everyone's lips.
Et tu es... ?
‘And you are...?’
French Reyner does not recognise you and asks who you are; English Reyner already knows.
You are to be commended for your part in thwarting the plot to destroy the Victory. Now, what can I do for you this day?
You bear an urgent message from Baderon? Why do I get the feeling that my hopes for a quiet evening/afternoon are about to be cruelly dashed? Tell me, what is afoot?
Voilà qui n'est guère rassurant...
‘That is hardly reassuring...’
Japanese……ふむ、穏やかではないな。
‘...Hm, that does not sound good.’
French drops his wry joke about a ruined quiet evening and is simply worried.
Japanese drops the wry joke about a ruined quiet evening; he is simply serious.
An assault on Swiftperch!? But we've seen nothing to suggest the Serpent Reavers are massing for an attack.
Even so, it would be foolish to discount the possibility─Baderon is rarely wrong about such matters.
Je ne peux pas mobiliser les casaques jaunes à un endroit sans être certain qu'il s'agit du bon.
‘I cannot mobilize the Yellowjackets to a place without being certain it is the right one.’
English: he will marshal the Yellowjackets immediately; French: he cannot mobilize them without knowing where.
The only question is where to send them. While I concur with Baderon's assessment that the attack on the Drydocks was intended as a diversion, Swiftperch is but one of several possible targets for the main thrust.
Baderon pense qu'il s'agit du Martinet, moi j'ai tendance à croire qu'il s'agit de l'un des deux barrages.
‘Baderon thinks it's Le Martinet; I tend to believe it's one of the two dams.’
English says Swiftperch is just one of several possible targets; French says he leans toward one of the two dams.
Nur meinte Baderon ja selbst, dass wir nicht mit Sicherheit sagen können, ob wirklich die Tölpelturm-Siedlung das Ziel der Piraten ist.
‘Hmm ... Only Baderon himself said that we can't say for certain whether the Tölpelturm settlement really is the pirates' target.’
English: he concurs with Baderon's assessment; German: Baderon himself admitted they cannot be sure of the target.
Alle möglichen Orte entlang des Nord- und Süddamms, der die Sahagin draußen hält, kommen genauso in Frage.
‘All sorts of places along the North and South Dam, which keeps the Sahagin out, are just as possible.’
German specifies the other candidates: points along the dams that hold the Sahagin back.
Commodore, sir!
Report.
It's the Sahagin, sir! They've mounted a large-scale assault on South Tidegate, and threaten to overwhelm our defenses within the day. The garrison requests immediate reinforcements.
By the Navigator... It seems my decision has been made for me.
Bon sang, ils choisissent bien leur moment.
‘Damn it, they certainly pick their moment.’
Japaneseええい、何が起きているというのだ……。
‘Argh, what on earth is happening...’
English: his decision has been made for him; French: they certainly picked their moment.
English: his decision has been made for him; Japanese: he asks what on earth is happening.
Muster the troops and give the order to march.
Aye, the Serpent Reavers are in league with the Sahagin.
そうか……。「海蛇の舌」は、サハギン族と手を結んだ海賊だ。
‘I see... the Sea Serpent's Tongue are pirates who have joined hands with the Sahagin.’
This is the pirate crew that attacks Swiftperch. The English name keeps the serpent but drops the tongue.
...Which means there is every chance this assault on Tidegate may yet prove to be another feint. The fact remains, however, that we can ill afford to ignore it. And that leaves Swiftperch vulnerable to those pirate traitors.
Willst du damit sagen, dass der Sahagin-Angriff auch ein Ablenkungsmanöver ist?
‘Are you trying to say that the Sahagin attack is a diversion too?’
English: he himself concludes the assault may be another feint; German: he asks whether you are suggesting it.
やはり、本命は「スウィフトパーチ入植地」なのか！？
‘So the real target after all is the “Swiftperch settlement”!?’
Japanese ends on him concluding Swiftperch is the true target; nothing about the Tidegate attack being unignorable.
It is at times such as these that I wish the Warriors of Light yet walked among us. But wishes will avail us naught. your name, you must serve in their absence. Make for Swiftperch with all haste and lend your strength to the squads I can spare for the settlement's defense.
Lauf und hilf den Verteidigern - ich kann keine Leute entbehren!
‘Run and help the defenders - I can't spare any people!’
English: he sends the squads he can spare; German: he says he cannot spare anyone.
Commodore Reyner sent word we'd be getting reinforcements, but I didn't expect him to send you! You certainly look like you've seen your share of action, though─you bear little resemblance to the wide-eyed whelp I met fresh off the ferry.
In any case, do you know what you're fighting for here? This place─Swiftperch─it was rebuilt by folk who stood strong in the face of every hardship the Calamity threw their way.
Ce hameau paie pas de mine en apparence, mais il est très important pour nous tous, car c'est ici qu'a commencé la reconstruction du pays après le septième fléau.
‘This hamlet doesn't look like much, but it is very important to all of us, because this is where the rebuilding of the country began after the Seventh Calamity.’
English says resilient folk rebuilt the place; French says the country's rebuilding began here.
Aber dir ist klar, dass das hier kein Zuckerschlecken wird.
‘But you know that this won't be a piece of cake.’
English asks if you know what you're fighting for; German warns that this will be no easy job.
And we're not about to let some fish-fancying scum claim the honor of being the ones who finally broke their spirits. Don't give those pirate bastards one bloody ilm, you hear me?
Feint after bloody feint! Those pirates are getting too damn clever by half!
Diese Piraten sind gerissener, als es ihre Visagen vermuten lassen!
‘These pirates are more cunning than their ugly mugs would suggest!’
German jokes that the pirates are smarter than their faces look.
You've come to aid with the defense? Then well met, and well come!
Come on, you gutless bastards! Let's see how you fare against trained soldiers!
your name, eagerly have I awaited your return!
Here they come!
'Ere now, I thought all them Yellowjacket worms was meant to be busy. That useless scrag ain't followed the plan, 'as 'e?
Haben wohl die Karte verkehrt rum gehalten!
‘They must have held the map upside down!’
English blames a useless scrag for not following the plan; German jokes they held the map upside down.
Ce crétin d'Ahtzapfyn a dû foirer son coup...
‘That cretin Ahtzapfyn must have botched his job...’
French names the bungler outright: Ahtzapfyn.
Now what? Pull back and wait for our Sahagin brothers?
Piss on that! We ain't turnin' back empty-handed!
Remember, no killin' the smallfolk, or it'll be your blood what stains Lord Leviathan's altars!
The Reavers' captain wants the smallfolk alive for 'Lord Leviathan's altars'. That is why the kidnappings happen. The banquet (step 21) tells you who Leviathan is.
Nous avons besoin de leur sang pour assouvir la soif du Seigneur Léviathan.
‘We need their blood to quench the thirst of Lord Leviathan.’
Japaneseこいつらは、リヴァイアサン様に捧げる、大事な土産だからな！
‘These ones are precious gifts to offer to Lord Leviathan!’
English threatens the pirates' own blood on Leviathan's altars; French says the villagers' blood is needed for Leviathan.
English threatens the pirates' own blood on Leviathan's altars; Japanese calls the villagers precious offerings for Leviathan.
The Yellowbellies ye can butcher at will! Them dirt-eatin' slugs'll be crushed under the full might o' the Serpent Reavers!
Aber die gelbe Plage könnt ihr gerne massakrieren.
‘But the yellow plague you're welcome to massacre.’
German insult is "the yellow plague"; English puns on "Yellowbellies", meaning cowards.
Seems Swiftperch was the main target after all, eh?
Squads One and Two, protect the townsfolk! Squad Three, you're our rear guard!
The rest of you─we meet their charge where we stand! Let us bear the commodore word of our victory, or no word at all!
Le capitaine Hansred compte sur nous, ne le décevons pas !
‘Captain Hansred is counting on us, let's not disappoint him!’
English vows to bring word of victory or no word at all; French just says not to disappoint him.
Yellowjacket Infantry: For Limsa Lominsa!
イエロージャケット陸戦兵たち: オー！
‘Yeah!’
Japanese soldiers just roar a cheer; English has them shout for Limsa Lominsa.
Rargh! I'll gut all you Yellowbellies an' dance on yer gizzards!
Wir werden eure Eingeweide in eure hübschen gelben Jäckchen packen!
‘We'll stuff your guts into your pretty little yellow jackets!’
English threatens to dance on their gizzards; German threatens to stuff their guts into their yellow jackets.
Defeat the Serpent Reavers.
Leave no pirate scum standing! Show 'em how a Yellowjacket fights!
Bwahaha! Time to split some heads, adventurer! Let's start with the frontline fodder!
Is that a bloody voidsent!? Hold steady, lads!
More of the bastards!? Come on, then!
On en viendra jamais à bout !
‘We'll never get the better of them!’
Japanese押されているのか！？
‘Are we being pushed back!?’
English defiantly says come on then; French despairs that they will never get through them.
English defiantly says come on then; Japanese worriedly asks if they are being pushed back.
All right, ye scurvy bastards... Here's a trick to make ye soil yer breeches!
Tremblez devant le pouvoir des messagers divins !
‘Tremble before the power of the divine messengers!’
Japaneseこうなったら、天使いの秘術を使う！
‘In that case, I'll use the secret art of the heavenly envoys!’
English jokes about a trick to make you soil your breeches; French invokes the power of the divine messengers.
English jokes about a trick to make you soil your breeches; Japanese announces the secret art of the heavenly envoys.
Dweller o' the Abyss, yer master calls! Heed me words an' smite me foes!
Damn...
レ、レイナー隊長ォォ……。
‘C-Captain Reyner...’
Japanese has him cry his commander's name as he falls, not take pride in fighting.
Llymlaen, guide-moi jusqu'à toi...
‘Llymlaen, guide me to you...’
Japanese油断したか……。
‘Did I let my guard down...’
English: the dying soldier says so cold; French: he prays to Llymlaen to guide him.
Japanese has the fallen soldier blame his own carelessness; English has him feel the cold.
I'm done for...
Keep on pummeling him! He can't take much more of this!
Defeat the masked mage!
Soon, you shall take your vile gifts to the grave!
Mwahahaha! Writhe as the venom eats its way through your veins!
An unwelcome guest. No matter, all shall fall before me!
Intéressant...
‘Interesting...’
GermanDies ist eine ... unvorhergesehene Wendung.
‘This is an ... unforeseen turn.’
English: the mage asks in alarm where this might comes from; French: he merely says interesting.
German mage calmly notes an unexpected turn; English mage is alarmed at your strength.
Well fought─the Reavers are beaten and scattered.
I'll take some men and hunt down the stragglers. Oh, but there may be more of them lurking about, so don't let your guard down just yet.
The source of her/his strength becomes clear...
You may have bested the golem, but you will not fare so well this day.
F20223O mournful voice of creation! Send unto me a creature of the abyss, my thrall to command, that I may smite mine enemies!01
F20223Ô essences primitives de la création !
‘O primal essences of creation!’
GermanF20223Zürnende Stimme der Schöpfung!
‘Wrathful voice of creation!’
English calls on the mournful voice of creation; French calls on the primal essences of creation.
English calls the voice of creation mournful; German calls it wrathful.
Your very being imperils the plan. You cannot be suffered to live.
Damit wird dein armseliger Rest an Standkraft gleich an der Wurzel ausgerupft werden.
‘With this, your pitiful remnant of staying power will be plucked out at the root.’
English says your existence endangers the plan; German mocks your pitiful remaining strength.
Unnngh... That the wisdom of the Paragons should be brought low...by mere mortals...
我ら「天使い」の……秘術が……。……打ち破られるとは……。
‘The secret arts of us, the envoys of heaven... To think they could be broken...’
FrenchNon... Comment un(e) simple mortel(le) peut surpasser le pouvoir des messagers divins !? C'est impossible... !
‘No... How can a mere mortal surpass the power of the divine messengers!? It's impossible...!’
GermanNächstes Mal ... wird dich die Macht der Himmelsboten ... ver...nichten.
‘Next time... the power of heaven's messengers... will des...troy you.’
Japanese我ら「天使い」の……秘術が……。
‘The secret arts of us heavenly envoys...’
天使い (amatsukai) is written with 天使, 'angel'. The English name 'Paragons' has no heaven in it.
Y'shtola hears the name and takes it as proof that the Ascians are behind it.
The masked mage threatens you with them. Y'shtola explains that this is the beast tribes' name for an Ascian like him.
English calls them the Paragons; Japanese calls them heavenly envoys.
“Paragons,” did he say? Then it is as I feared.
Les messagers divins !? Voilà qui confirme mes craintes...
‘The divine messengers!? That confirms my fears...’
GermanHimmelsboten ...? Dann ist es so, wie ich befürchtet habe ...
‘Heaven's messengers...? Then it is as I feared...’
The French and German names match the Japanese 天使い, 'envoys of heaven', where the English says 'Paragons'. They come from the 1.0 story. A Realm Reborn made them another name for the Ascians.
They are known as the Bringers of Chaos...or Ascians, to give them their proper name.
Y'shtola names the masked mage from Just Deserts (step 9) an Ascian. That is one of the 'Bringers of Chaos' who steer the beast tribes. From here on, Ascians keep appearing in the story.
Ein Ascian also ... einer der „Himmelsboten“, wie die Wilden Stämme sie nennen.
‘An Ascian, then... one of the “heaven's messengers”, as the beast tribes call them.’
It would seem our suspicions were correct─it is they who have been manipulating the beast tribes.
Pardon? You would know if we Sharlayans have encountered Ascians before? ...I have never spoken to you of my homeland. How did you know whence I hail?
Est-ce que c'est pour cette raison que j'ai quitté Sharlayan ?
‘Is that the reason I left Sharlayan?’
GermanOb ich deswegen von Sharlayan hierher gekommen bin?
‘Whether I came here from Sharlayan because of that?’
Japaneseそれが、シャーレアンから来た目的か……ですって？
‘Is that the purpose of my coming from Sharlayan... you ask?’
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; French: you ask if that is why she left Sharlayan.
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; German: you ask if that is why she came from Sharlayan.
English: you ask if Sharlayans met Ascians before; Japanese: you ask if that is why she came from Sharlayan.
Wait. I do begin to see. You have been blessed with a special gift.
Y'shtola is surprised that you know where she comes from. Yet she never spoke of her homeland. Then she realizes you have been 'blessed with a special gift'.
Are you all right, lass/lad!? If I'd known a mean bugger like that was hiding in the bushes, I would've left a squad or six to keep you company.
Well, at least now we can call this kidnapping investigation to a close. Those Reavers were the ones spiriting folk away in the dead of night, and this bastard here was pulling all the strings.
A trifle simplistic, but not inaccurate.
I came as soon as I sensed his presence, but I never thought to find such a scene of carnage. Yet we prevailed. And thanks to your heroic actions, I have learned much.
Aye, “heroic” is the word. I don't want to think about what would've happened if you hadn't been here, friend.
And your assistance is much appreciated, too, Lady Y'shtola. Please give our regards to the Scions.
This is easy to miss. Ryssfloh's regards 'to the Scions' are the first mention of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. This chart ends with that group (step 29).
Du und der Bund der Morgenröte seid ein Segen für Limsa Lominsa.
‘You and the League of the Dawn are a blessing for Limsa Lominsa.’
A Bund is a league or alliance. The English 'Scions' means heirs.
「暁」の皆さまにも、よろしくお伝えください。
‘Please give my regards to everyone at “Dawn” as well.’
Japanese calls her group "Dawn"; English calls them the Scions.
I am glad to have played a role in bringing what I hope is an end to this disturbing spate of abductions.
The thread of your fate forms a part of a most intriguing tapestry. Mayhap we will be afforded the chance to speak more in the near future.
Je savais que nos routes finiraient par se recroiser, mais j'ignorais que nos destins seraient si étroitement liés.
‘I knew our paths would cross again, but I didn't know our destinies would be so closely linked.’
English says your fate is part of an intriguing tapestry; French says your destinies and hers are closely linked.
For now, however, you must see this particular tale to its conclusion. Pray send my greetings to Commodore Reyner.
A fearsome opponent...against whom you shall not stand alone!
Ouf ! Je suis arrivée à temps. Je vais te donner un coup de patte !
‘Phew! I made it in time. I'm going to lend you a paw!’
FrenchJe vais te donner un coup de patte !
‘I'll lend you a paw!’
Y'shtola is a cat-eared Miqo'te. Her paw is a feline twist on «donner un coup de main», 'to lend a hand'.
English says you won't stand alone; French says she'll lend you a paw, a pun on lending a hand.
No mortal should possess such strength!
His power wanes! Afford him no chance to recover!
Word of your exploits is already spreading through the ranks. My troops and I owe you a great debt of gratitude for your timely assistance.
You have shown yourself to be possessed of a sure arm, a strong spirit, and sound judgment. Would that Limsa Lominsa had more of your like.
I have little doubt that you shall one day join the ranks of Eorzea's greatest adventurers. It is but a matter of time.
Sei dir sicher, dass du einmal eine bedeutende Rolle in Eorzeas Schicksal spielen wirst.
‘Be sure that you will one day play an important role in Eorzea's fate.’
English says you will join Eorzea's greatest adventurers; German says you will play an important role in Eorzea's fate.
イエロージャケットの隊長……レイナーが認めたのだ、間違いない。
‘The captain of the Yellowjackets... Reyner has recognised it, so there's no mistake.’
Japanese has Reyner vouch for it on his own authority; English says it is a matter of time.
Clearly, Baderon's eye for potential remains as sharp as ever, though I doubt even he imagined you capable of such feats.
Und der Admiral wird genauso beeindruckt sein, wie prächtig du dich hier in Limsa machst.
‘And the Admiral will be just as impressed by how splendidly you are doing here in Limsa.’
Japaneseメルウィブ提督も、さぞやお喜びになるだろう！
‘Admiral Merlwyb too will surely be delighted!’
FrenchL'amirale Bloefhiswyn, elle aussi, sera ravie d'entendre le récit de tes aventures.
‘Admiral Bloefhiswyn, too, will be delighted to hear the tale of your adventures.’
English says even Baderon never imagined such feats; German says the Admiral will be just as impressed.
English says even Baderon never imagined such feats; Japanese says Admiral Merlwyb will surely be delighted.
French says the Admiral will be delighted to hear of you; English talks only of Baderon.
Might you favor me with your own account of the day's events? Such victories bear retelling!
Si tu as un moment à m'accorder, j'aimerais que tu m'en dises un peu plus à ton sujet.
‘If you have a moment to spare, I'd like you to tell me a little more about yourself.’
FrenchJe dois t'avouer que ton passé m'intrigue, [name].
‘I must admit that your past intrigues me, [name].’
English asks for your account of the day's events; French asks you to tell more about yourself.
French Reyner is curious about your past; English Reyner wants today's battle retold.
Y'shtola has been working with us for quite some time, you see.
And she was only too willing to assist the Yellowjackets in the kidnapping investigation, proving herself a stalwart ally of Limsa Lominsa yet again.
Needless to say, after your part in thwarting the attempted sabotage of the Victory, and the small matter of your deeds at Swiftperch, you too have proven yourself a valued friend of the thalassocracy.
Admiral!
May I present to you Admiral Bloefhiswyn.
So this is the adventurer I've been reading about in the field reports.
You seem familiar. Have we met? Mayhap at a medal presentation or some such?
君は……？なんだ、この頭の中がうずく感じは……。
‘You are...? What is this throbbing in my head...’
Merlwyb's head throbs when she sees you, and her memory clouds over. It hints at the forgotten Warriors of Light.
Ton visage m'est familier, mais je n'arrive pas à me rappeler pourquoi...
‘Your face is familiar to me, but I can't manage to remember why...’
Japaneseなんだ、この頭の中がうずく感じは……。
‘What is this throbbing feeling inside my head...?’
French drops the medal guess; she simply cannot place why you seem familiar.
Japanese has her feel a strange ache in her head on seeing you, no talk of medals.
ダメだ。まるで霞がかかったように……。
‘It's no use. It's as if veiled in haze...’
Japaneseまるで霞がかかったように……。
‘It's just as if a haze had settled over it...’
Japanese has her say her memory is hazed over; English asks about relatives in the Maelstrom.
Nein, natürlich nicht. Das wäre mir bekannt ...
‘No, of course not. I would know about it ... So, to business!’
FrenchC'est étrange, j'aurais juré t'avoir déjà vu(e) ailleurs...
‘Hm... It's strange, I would have sworn I had already seen you somewhere else...’
English starts to swear to something; German firmly says no, of course not, she would know.
French finishes the thought: she would swear she has seen you before. English breaks off.
でも何故だ。
‘But why?’
English waves the thought aside as of little matter; Japanese wonders why she feels such nostalgia.
お互い、初めて会うはずなのに、こんなに懐かしさを感じるとは……。
‘Though this should be our first meeting, to feel such nostalgia...’
Japanese says she feels nostalgia though they have never met; English cuts off and moves on.
I am Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of Limsa Lominsa.
Ich bin Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral des Mahlstroms.
‘I am Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of the Maelstrom.’
English calls her Admiral of Limsa Lominsa; German calls her Admiral of the Maelstrom.
On behalf of my people, I bid you thanks for the deeds you have done this day.
A token of our gratitude. What worth is high regard without just reward, after all? Ha!
Schließlich lebt niemand von Luft und Ehre allein.
‘After all, nobody lives on air and honour alone.’
German twists a proverb: nobody lives on air and honour alone.
Since you first set foot in our city, my good friend Baderon and Commodore Reyner have taken turns at regaling me with tales of your exploits.
Safe to say, they left an impression. Join me at the coming banquet.
A seat of honor at the celebratory feast is the least I can offer the woman/man who foiled the Sahagin.
Oho!
A seat at the feast!
Oh, and don't be late.
Your fellow guests will be eager to take the measure of their newest hero, and some do not take kindly to being kept waiting. Till then, may you walk in the light of the Crystal.
D'ici là, continue de veiller sur Limsa Lominsa, et que la bienveillance du Cristal te montre la voie.
‘Until then, keep watching over Limsa Lominsa, and may the Crystal's kindness show you the way.’
GermanOhne unseren Ehrengast werden wir kaum anfangen können und einige der Piraten werden ziemlich mürrisch, wenn sie zu lange aufs Essen warten müssen.
‘Without our guest of honor we can hardly begin, and some of the pirates get rather grumpy when they have to wait too long for their food.’
Japaneseこれからも我々に力を貸してくれたまえ。
‘Please keep lending us your strength from now on.’
English says the other guests are eager to size up their newest hero; French asks you to keep watching over Limsa Lominsa.
English says the guests are eager to size up their newest hero; German says the feast can hardly begin without the guest of honor.
English says the guests are eager to size up their newest hero; Japanese asks you to keep lending them your strength.
