PART 1

[Occasionally I, your humble narrator (Mark), will jump in with locations and
explanatory comments. These are in brackets and parentheses. And if you've got a
Mac, switch the font to Chicago and you can get the text to look just like in
FF3 (but without those cool shadows)! Enjoy! ^_^]

[Opening]
Lenna: Father! Do you really have to go?
King of Tycoon: Lenna, you have to protect the castle. You mustn't follow me.
Lenna: But...
King: There's something strange about the wind... So I really must go.
Lenna: Yes, I understand, but all by yourself...?
King: Don't worry.

[Cut to Faris and the pirates]
Faris: The wind... it stopped...

[Galuf at the Meteor]
Galuf: The wind stopped! I've gotta hurry!

[Shot of Lenna in the castle, then her father at the Wind Shrine]
King: Huh?! [crystal shatters]

[Back to Butz again]
Butz: Boko, wait here.
Butz: ! (Fight with 2 goblins)

Butz: Are you OK?
Lenna: Yes, thank you. I'm Lenna. Who are you?
Butz: I'm...
(Choose your name)
Butz: I'm Butz. (or whatever name you picked)
I'm just wandering around with my chocobo...
Lenna: Butz...
Suddenly this thing fell from the sky, and I was sent flying, and I fainted,
and...
Butz: Is it a meteor?
Lenna: A meteor...? I wonder if this has anything to do with the wind
stopping...? Anyway, I really want to thank you. But I have to hurry...

Butz: Hey, wait...
Lenna: Did you hear something?
Butz: Huh?
Old man: Uhh...
Butz, Lenna: ?
Old man: ...Help...
Butz: He's over there!

Butz: Are you all right?
Old man: Where am I? Think I hit my head somewhere...
Old man: Hey, what's going on here? Can't seem to think straight... I can't
remember a thing!
Butz: You hit your head? It couldn't be amnesia...?
Old man: Wait, I remember my name! It's Galuf!
Lenna: And besides that...?
Galuf: Nothing... All I can remember is my name!

Lenna: Anyway, I'm really sorry. I've got to go.
Butz: Where're you going?
Lenna: To the Wind Shrine...
Galuf: The Wind Shrine!? I've got a feeling that I should go there too!
Galuf: Hey, I'm coming along!!
Lenna: But...
Galuf: I absolutely must go there! Take me with you!
Lenna: Butz... what are you going to do?
Butz: I think I'll just keep travelling...
Lenna: Butz... thanks so much! Goodbye...
Galuf: Bye, then!

Butz: Let's go, Boko!
[after riding around]
Butz: Hey Boko, don't just stop short like that!!
Butz: What are you looking at me like that for!?
Boko: Kue! Kue, kue!! [yes, that's how a chocobo talks]
Butz: It's that old dude and that girl, right? And there are lots of goblins
around here... got it, Boko.
Lenna & Galuf: Aaahhhh----!!!
Butz: Let's go, Boko!
Boko: Kue-!
Lenna: Urgh...
Butz: Hey!
Lenna: Butz!!
Lenna: Thank you so much!
Butz: Oh, stop that.
Butz: Since that meteor fell, there've been landslides and stuff around here,
and now the road to Tule is blocked.
Lenna: But we've got to get to the Wind Shrine...
Galuf: Uhh...
Galuf: Gotta get to the Wind Shrine... uhhh....
Butz: So he's headed for the Wind Shrine also...
Butz: You know, I think I'll go too!
Lenna: Really!?
Butz: It was my father's last wish... that I travel around the world... and
besides, the wind is calling us...
Galuf: Yeah, yeah, say whatever you want! Really you just want to be with her!!
Butz: Hey! Were you listening!?
Galuf: Of course!! [laughs]
Galuf: But you know, the road is blocked...
Butz: ...
Lenna: ...
Lenna: But we have to get there somehow!!
Galuf: Yeah, we do...
Butz: OK, let's go!

(At the Pirate Base)
Lenna: There's a cave here?
Butz: It must've been created by that earthquake...
Butz: Boko, it's dangerous in there, so you wait here!
Boko: Kue!

(inside cave)
Butz: That spring... (points to recovery spring)

(watches pirate open door with wall switch)
Butz: Ah ha!

(watching boat outside)
Butz: That boat...? How does it go even though there's no wind...?
Everyone: ???

(inside pirate base)
Butz: Since this is a pirate base, maybe that boat back there was a pirate
ship...?
Lenna: Maybe we could get a ride from them...
Butz: But they're pirates!!
Galuf: Well maybe we could just sneak aboard!
Butz: Hey gramps, you've got more guts than I thought!
(board the pirate ship)
Pirate:(half asleep in bunk below deck) Mmnnh... I fixed the wheel, Captain...
now Syldra can... ...
Butz: All right, anchors aweigh!!
(Boat doesn't move)
Galuf: Hey Butz, what happened?
Butz: It's no use... it won't move at all. What's going on here?
Faris: What are you doing!? You've got guts, thinking you can just steal my ship
like that!
Lenna: I'm Lenna, the Princess of Tycoon. We're so sorry for taking your boat
like that...
Butz & Galuf: Princess!?!
Lenna: Please lend us your boat! I have to get to the Wind Shrine! My father's
in danger!!
Faris: Hmm... Princess of Tycoon... You must have a lot of money...
Butz: Stop that!
Lenna: Please!!
(pendant glows)
Faris: That pendant...
Faris (to the other pirates): Throw these people below deck! And tie 'em up!
Pirates: Yes, Captain!

Galuf: Now what do we do? Who said we should steal this boat, anyway?
Butz: I think it was YOU!
Galuf: Ohhh... my head hurts! I think I've got amnesia...
Butz: Pretty convenient time to get amnesia, huh!

Butz: And I'm surprised that Lenna turned out to be the princess of Tycoon!
Lenna: I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to hide it or anything...
Butz: But why were you going to the Wind Shrine all alone?
Lenna: My father went there when the wind stopped... and I was afraid that
something terrible had happened to him! So I snuck out of the castle, and then
this
meteor came flying through the sky, and...

Faris: Why would that Princess of Tycoon have the same pendant as me? She says
her father's at the Wind Shrine...

(Next day)
Faris (to pirates): Head for the Wind Shrine!
Pirates: What should we do with these guys?
Faris: Untie them!
Faris: Come on! Move it!!
Lenna: But why...?
Faris: Let's just say I'm lending you my power, OK? And that's that!
Faris: Let's go! To the Wind Shrine! (to pirates) Did you hear what I said?
Answer me!
Pirates: Aye aye, sir!
Lenna: But the wind's stopped... how can the ship move?
Faris: You really want to know... Come on, Syldra, introduce yourself!
(Syldra roars)
Faris: Whaddaya think? Syldra and I grew up together. We're like brothers!
Faris: OK, we're off!

[Town of Tule]
Pirates: All right! Beer!
[Note from Mark: Actually, it's sake, but I think it would be beer in the US
version ^_^)]
Faris: I'm going too.

Old guy: Shall I lead you to the Beginners' School?
OK, close your eyes!

In the Training School
Receptionist: Are you a beginner?

1: If your hair turns white, you've become "Old". Your stats will slowly
decrease.
2: Put magic users and characters with weak defense in the back row! Push left
on the menu screen, select a character and press A. That's how you switch
between the front and back row.
3: Your selected character is the first one on the menu screen. To change them,
... (demonstrates)
4: You can damage undead monsters with healing items like Cure and Potion.
5: Make sure to save often. Then you can continue where you left off.
6: Want to hear about the ability system?
Boko: You folks are warriors chosen by the crystals! Using the power of the
brave spirits inside the crystals, you can learn various jobs.
(Turns Faris to a black mage)
Manage these jobs well, and your four characters will gain the abilities that
come with the jobs. These are called "abilities". Everything will be de-equipped
when
you change jobs, but it's OK since you can select "Optimum" to re-equip. Combine
jobs skillfully, and you can have a black mage who can jump, a knight casting
white magic, and all kinds of things!
For example, let's create a knight with white magic. First make a white mage
(makes a white mage) Then gain ability points (ABP) until you get the ability
"White
Magic". Then change your job to "Knight", and select white magic as an ability!
You've created a knight that uses white magic!
7: Check for hidden passages! For example, you can walk through the wall on my
left! You can see it if you have a thief with the "Hidden Passage" ability.
8: Sometimes you'll find stuff in the treasure boxes and pots! Look around!
[2F]
9: Here's a present from me!
(Fight with a goblin and get the treasure)
10: "Wait" mode: Use the "Config" menu to select "Wait". Then
time'll stop
during battle while you select items and things. So you can take your time
picking magic
and items!
11: If your HP (Hit Points) gets low, heal up using Cure or a potion!
12: Those numbers you see in battle? White means damage; green means reviving.
13: Press L and R at the same time, and you can run away from battles!
14 (purple guy): Want to hear about the more complicated abilities?
"2-Hand" - Use your empty other hand to swing your weapon and double your attack
power. That is, swing your sword with two hands.
"Dash" - Press B while walking in caves and towns, and you'll go faster. But at
least one of you has to be a Thief.
"Blue Magic (Lore)" "Learning" - Learn the enemies' magic and attacks. But
you
have to have a blue mage or the "Learning" ability. Then you can use the
Goblin's "Goblin Punch", the Steel Bat's "Blood Suck", or the Mold
Wind's
"Aero"!

Elsewhere in the town...
Blue haired person: We're using machines to magnify the Wind Crystal's power and
get our boats to go really fast! Soon we'll have boat service all the way to
Worus!
Green haired person The pirates went into the pub.
Person: A meteor landed near Tycoon? I heard that another one landed out west,
near Karnak.
