Final Fantasy II Translations (Sony Playstation) Version 1.0 01/01/03 By Red Scarlet By Red Scarlet (akaiscarlet@hotmail.com) Version 1.0 01/01/03-Faq Created. This FAQ is for personal use only. It cannot be altered without the consent of the FAQ's owner (me), nor published in any magazines or any reproducted form. This FAQ is not meant for sale and is copyright 2003 Red Scarlet. If you want to use this FAQ on your Website or page, please email me for permission (akaiscarlet@hotmail.com) Go to www.njstar.com to get the Japanese text to display how it would on the game (or use some other kind of Japanese text viewing program). This FAQ is for anyone who has the recently released version of Final Fantasy II for the Sony Playstation, and needs to know what the heck all the names of items, magic, characters, or monsters are. I assume you already know the game, so there are very few actual strategies in this FAQ. There are already a few at Gamefaqs already made, so view one of those if you need direction on where to go. The newest updates will always be at Gamefaqs. In pretty much all of the lists, the order of what things are in will be: Japanese Kana that appears onscreen/romanized version/my translation/name in the US version of FF1 on the NES, if it is different. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- First up are the options at the title screen. ニューゲーム: Nyu-ge-mu (New Game) Starts a new game. ロードゲーム: Ro-doge-mu (Load Game) Continue off of a saved game from a Memory Card in either スロット: Surotto 1 (Slot 1) or スロット: Surotto 2 (Slot 2). メモファイル: Memofairu (Memo File) Load a game that was saved into the Playstation's memory.
