Director's Cut/Translations

With the release of the Director's Cut, there came several new scenes lacking an English translation. The purpose of this page, therefore, is an attempt to document and translate this new content.

Beautiful Fool/ Mr. Meiyuan Stud Card

The follow dialogue was officially translated during Shadow Hearts: Covenant's initial localisation, but can only be accessed through hacking the Mr. Meiyuan Stud Card into the inventory.

Despite this, even through hacking, the Beautiful Fool dress is available only in the Japanese or DX version.

This scene takes place if the detects a Japanese save-file from the first Shadow Hearts on the memory card.

	Ah, Yuri!
	What's up?
	Can you help out? Pierre's so down, he's not doing any work.
	What's the problem?
	Well, you know. I've been thinking a lot about life lately. And just whether I can keep going on like this...
	You're trying to find yourself? That's something you should have figured out twenty years ago.
	It's this book I read recently. It really got to me. I've just been seeing things so superficially. Never really finding the true essense of things...All the dresses I make...They've got no substance. There's nothing to them! Oh, it's no use! I'll never be a top designer at this rate...
	That's a shame. Just when I brought you a Stud Card too.
	Oh, yes! I'm sure I can smell it! Now which card is it? It's got a very macho scent...! Nooooo! It can't be! Is it...?! Just smell all those pheromones! Could it be...? It'd be too good to be true!
	Huh? This? Jeez, keep your shirt on!
	It is, isn't it?! I knew it! The most sought-after of all Stud Cards. The best of the best! The rarest of cards! Only one was ever printed! Meiyuan! Y-you're going to le me have it, right?
	Well...I dunno. I mean, you're not making dresses anymore, right?
	I will, I will! Don't worry about that! The best I've ever made! Oh, just looking at it makes my eyes water!
	Really? This?
	Oh, yes! Really! No question! You won't regret this, I promise! C-can I have it?!
	What's so great about it?
	Pleeeease! Just let me hold it!
	Okay, okay! Here, have it!
	Yeeeeeeeess! Wahoo! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ah! Meeeiyuaaan! I'll start designing a new dress right away! Like this...a bit here...a bit there...There! All done!
	Let me see, let me see!
	Ta-da!
	[You got Beautiful Fool]*
	Huh? There's no dress there...
	Ah, this dress is invisible to fools, you see!
	What?!
	Surely...you can see it...right, Yuri? It's a beautiful garment, isn't it?
	...Huh?! Ha ha ha! Yes. Of course! Of course I can see it! There it is! All those frills on the sleeves. It's very pretty!
	There aren't any frills. It's a tube top.
	Um...
	Okay, take care of it, now! It's my best dress! But don't use your eyes to look at it. Use your heart! See ya!
	.........

After the scene, Gerard has one more piece of dialogue he will use upon speaking to him. Leaving the area and coming back will remove this line and replace it with his usual dialogue.

The book that made such a big impression on him was "The Emperor's New Clothes." You must be furious, huh?

Nahash Temple

Translation by Apraxas, for Dengarde.

This section occurs after completing the Neam Ruins, and selecting to go to St Marguerite Island for the first time.

Arriving at Nahash Temple

	"A few hours before Yuri returns to Cannes." "The sunken ruins in the Southern Mediterranean Sea;" "Nahash Temple"
	Alright, we're here. This is the place the master spoke of.
	Yeah! Let's get this show on the road!
	Oh, put a sock in it! I've been walking all morning! I'm exhausted!
	You can't tell me to putta sock in it! We keep losing my boys to this place!
	Yes, but if you charge in like a bull, as usual, you'll just end up lost, and won't be able to find the way outside for the rest of your life. Typical meathead.
	What was that?! Why you-!
	That's enough! We need to finish our investigation here, before they bring us the Émigré Manuscript! We have no time for your petty quarrels!
	Pft! Yeah, yeah!

After Defeating the First Random Encounter

	Hmm...it seems some vulgar roaches have been skittering about, since we last came here.
	Did my boys get their butts whooped by these punks?
	I doubt it. It's difficult to imagine they fell to a group of that caliber. More likely, there's a powerful demon among their ranks.

Trying to Leave

Hey, hey! You trying to leave before the mission's over!?

Seeing the Gate Switches

	Hey, what's this switch?
	You see that door there? It's a switch to open it. It seems that if you don't operate two switches on the same floor, the door won't open.
	Damn, pain-in-the-butt switches...C'mon then, let's find this other switch.

Seeing the Puzzle Gate

	Hm? This gate ain't opening?
	Ah, I forgot to mention. The gates in this place are rigged to be opened by two switches. We can find those on the same floor.
	These things're a pain in the ass...But if that's what it takes, then let's pull those switches and get back here, pronto.

Interacting with a closed Fence Gate

	Hey! Why ain't it opening?
	The gate only opens one way. You see that arrow on the floor? These gate will only open on the side with the arrow, following its direction.

Interacting with the Fence-gates

	Whoa, awesome. An automatic door!?
	Truly this is something to be grateful about...
	[Lenny walks through the gate, which slams shut behind him]
	Wha-!? H-hey! Did I just get locked in!?
	Oh, stop your snivelling! This fence is one-way only. Look, there's an arrow written down there, right? It means that if you aren't coming from the side of the arrow, you won't be able to open it.
	W-what?! Who came up with this stuff...Don't screw with me! Geez!

Clawed Soldier Medic

	[Nicolai interacts with a lone Clawed Soldier]
	You hurt? Tired? In your hour of need, leave it to me, the Clawed Healer!
	[HP and MP fully restored!]
	I'll stand watch here. If something happens, please call me any time!

Start of the Next Floor

	Ya know, I still can't believe there's a temple like this on the bottom of the ocean.
	Aah, that reminds me, is this the first time you've come here?
	A long time ago, those who worshipped false creeds, built temples in unseen places to escape persecution. These ruins are most likely the remains of one such temple.
	Huh...but, if it's under the sea and all, why's there still air... and how come the water don't get in, huh?
	There's probably a certain power at work here. The fact our master had sent us to investigate this place is tied to that.
	Oh? But, if I'm not mistaken, weren't you the one who advised the master to check this place?
	To my shame. We're in turmoil to this very day, because of the lack of results.
	Hmmm...

Opening the Final Door

	These stairs?
	But the last time we were here, there didn't seem to be any more floors below...
	Excellent, this might be it.

Encountering the Boss

	[Lenny sees the bodies of his fallen Clawed Soldiers]
	This...Hey, punk, you the one who did this!?
	There's no doubt about it. It seems it isn't interested in letting us go back in one piece either.
	Bring it on! I have plenty of punishment for naughty boys!

Boss Aftermath

	Damn, never expected a monster like that to be here!
	So, what do you plan to do, Nicolai?
	As soon as we obtain the manuscript, we'll report to the master. In the meantime, I propose we cease investigating this place.
	Damn staight! Like I'd let you send any more of my boys to die at the bottom of the ocean!
	The master won't be pleased...we better get prepared for that, huh?
	[Lenny and Veronica walk off]
	The master's displeasure, hm? It might become hard to keep things moving, but we have no other choice.
	[Nicolai walks to the altar]
	By putting on this ring, a pact shall be made. Then I'll be able to surpass him...

Lucia and Veronica

Translation from (now defunct) Z-O-G.org. Video from Dengarde.

This scene occurs immediately after Yuri and Karin complete the Mirror Palace dungeon, and gain Amon.

	Huh? That perfume...*
	Hmm? What's the matter, Lucia?*
	Huh? Oh, nothing...ah, if you'll excuse, I kinda need to use the little girls room!*
	[Lucia kneels down to Blanca]
	(You stay here, okay boy?)*
	......
	[Lucia walks outside]
	You!*
	Hehehe... Just as I expected, your nose lead you right to me.*
	Are you calling me a dog?! You've got some nerve! Yuri and Karin are getting the power to defeat Rasputin. I won't let you interfere!*
	Oh? And are you going to stop me?*
	I'm more than enough to stop you!*
	Relax...I didn't come all this way to fight you. Look, I don't have much time here, so I'll get to the point. Lucia, how would you like to come work with me?*
	W-what?! Are you asking me to betray my friends?*
	Well, if you put it that way, yes, I suppose. Lord Rasputin is interested in your astrological powers..."Astrologist to the Overlord"...has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?*
	"Astrologist to the Overlord", eh? Heh...hehehe...heh heh...Er, uh, no! No way! Nothing will make me betray my friends!*
	Lucia...then the next time we meet...it'll be to the death. Do you really think you have it in you to kill me?*
	I...Carla told me to take care of you, Veronica...so I'll do everything in my power to stop you!*
	I see...I didn't want it to be this way...but next time we meet, I can't let you live. Goodbye...Lucia.*
	[Veronica walks away]
	Veronica...Oh, Carla...*

Anastasia's Fortune

Translation from (now defunct) Z-O-G.org. Video from Dengarde.

This scene occurs when the party have regained access to the Europe map, return to Florence, and have Kurando in the party.

	Hey, Lucia, can I ask you a favour?
	Hm? What is it, Anastasia?
	You're a fortune teller, right? Can you tell me my fortune?
	Well, maybe...what would you like to know about? You love life?
	D-don't say it out loud! This is embarrasing enough already!
	Tee-hee! Umm, well...Carla will yell at me if she finds out I've given a free telling, but...Well, now you've got me curious. Sure! I'll do your fortune!
	Really?! Oh, thanks, Lucia! Hurry, get on with it! I wanna know!
	Okay, let's start! Your loved one...your loved one is one of...your loved one is one of the five male members of our group!
	[The male party members stand nearby]
	Oh yes! (Kurando, you're almost mine!)
	He...he definitely has a human form...
	Okay, so that rules out Blanca. But what about Joachim? He's a bat, so is he out?
	Joachim is...safe!
	I thought so- w-wait, what?! Safe?!
	This person...he still has his youth...
	Well that rules out the old man! I guess Yuri's still in...but what about Joachim? He's hundreds of years old!
	Joachim is...safe!!
	What!? Are you kidding me!? Why isn't Joachim ruled out!? Wait...no, it can't be!
	Your love...he is great in fights...speaks many languages...and can transform his body...
	B-but all three can...this is some kind of sick joke! You're getting a kick from this, right? Right?!
	I'm...I'm getting a name! It's-
	Huh? A name?! Hey, hold on a sec! I'm not ready for this!
	His name is-!!!
	No, don't! Forget it! I don't wanna know anymore! Uh, bye!!
	[Anastasia Runs Away]
	Huh?! Hey wait, Anastasia! Oh, dear...it seems like she misunderstood!

Joachim in Japan

Joachim's dialogue is slightly expanded in Inugami Village. After the failed attempt to resurrect Alice, and the conversation with Saki, Karin wanders off, with the party members hanging around the village as Yuri searches for her.

	Being here in this village, it's making me reminisce about the past...*
	Eh? Have you been to Japan before?*
	Hmm, it was about 200 years ago. A small village in Shizuoka, which was struggling against the villainy of the local lords-*
	I haven't got the time for a long story. I'm looking for Karin.*
	Alright. I'll look around here.*

The Currymen

This scene occurs when the party have completed the Man-Festival. Returning to the Brick Warehouse triggers this scene.

Murgh Masala	-And what...you ass! Wanna say that to me again!?*
	Huh, what's that? A fight?*
	No, those voices...they're former pupils of teacher!*
Gosht Masala	-I've said it again, and again! I'm not going to wear curry on my head any longer!*
Murgh Masala	B-but why!? You're a top curry, have you forgotten your vow on the river Ganges!?*
Gosht Masala	I haven't forgotten...but this town is too small for two curry artisans!*
Murgh Masala	You're serious...but, do you not want me to tell you one of my wrestling techniques?*
Gosht Masala	No..., in fact I've a favour. Your chicken soup*; I'd like you to tell me the recipe.*
Murgh Masala	Chicken soup? I use many bones in the curry but...wait what are you getting at?*
Gosht Masala	Chicken and pigs can't live on the meat of cowpeas alone... Using your method of pig bones*, and my soup, I'll make the best Japanese-made ramen soup!*
Murgh Masala	Ra-ramen!?*
Gosht Masala	Then...if I was armed with this soup and opened a store in Hamamatsu city, after a century I'll make it Ramen city!*
Murgh Masala	........He, hehe, hehehehehe! Your idea's got into my head - our reasons may be different, but we're heading down the same road! If the path I hone is in curry, then I'll work at it to make this the Curry city! So...*
Gosht Masala	Um, farewell!*
	The passionate camaraderie of men heading towards their dream...a story of good friends!*
	Those noodles he's making...I'd like to try them someday.*
	......yeah, sounds great.*

Sea of Woods

Meeting Shintarō

Vague summary: Yuri wonders about the man standing there. Then Kurando mentions some sort of dangerous demon around this area. They talk about Malice and the old man explains about malice that comes from Mt. Fuji.

	...Huh? That guy...I wonder what he's doing in such an desolate place. Something funny going down?*
	Even though the village is close by, with all the monsters round here, it's dangerous to go out right now.*
Unsettled Shintarō*	Oh my..., I was just staring at the sky. There's a red light heading towards the mountain...*
	A red light...could it be malice!?*
	Looks like it's heading towards Mount Fuji.*
Unsettled Shintarō	I was having a closer look at the light, got frightened, and ran up here to escapse... I wonder what's going on in that forest?*

Entering the Woods

	This is...*
	Looks like the malice is being drawn into the forest...?*
	Umm, guys, I've got a bad feeling about this...what's happening!?*
	I don't know, let's go check it out.*

View of the Woods

	Woah...,it's a totally different dimension.*
	This forest has been transformed by the shadow of malice...it's some pretty serious magic. *
	Yeah. We'd better be on our guard...otherwise we might lose our sanity.*
	Hey, Yuri...doesn't this place bother you at all?*
	Not really...I guess I feel a responsibility if this is due to malice. Besides, the way I see it, if something need doing, you do it, right?*
	......

Blocked Path

	What is it? A cloud of malice blowing us back?*
	So much of it...making an impenetrable barrier?*
	Don't go near it. You'll lose your sanity in an instant stepping into that.*
	[Blanca sees something shining on the ground]
	Awroo! Awroo!
	What's up, Blanca? Found something to eat?*
	[Karin walks over to Blanca]
	Oh? Something that looks like...like a jewel.*
	Awroo!
	This jewel, can I place it on that shrine?*
	(Pant)
	[Karin interacts with a small shrine]
	Amazing...it's sucking the malice in...*
	Hey look! That cloud of malice has thinned slightly!*
	I see,...okay! Let's find more of these jewel things!*

Walking into the Malice

Stay away from that! You'll lose your sanity in an instant if you walk into that.*

The Magimel Brothers

	[Yuri interacts with Pierre Magimel]
	Come on, I think of new ideas while you're changing clothes!*
	[Yuri interacts with Gerard Magimel]
	Drat..., I was facinated by the red light, and accidentally lost control of the wagon... But as long as I have customers, I'll carry on business!...Maybe you could you give our wagon a little push, after...*
	I'm just shopping.* I'm not shopping or pushing.*

Interacting with the Shrine

	[Yuri interacts with a small shrine]
	Looks like there's a place to put a jewel.* Place jewel.* Let's look around more, first.*

Encountering the Boss

	[The party see the boss]
	This..., it's pretty ominous...*
	It seems to be asorbing more and more malice....*
	Hehehe, nice and simple; we beat these guys, we'll solve our problem.*

Boss Aftermath

	Phew...looks like we defeated it. *
	It was a close call...such terrible strength.*
???	The evil has peeled away... At last, we return to the forest...!*
	Eh? Who's saying that? Who are you? Woah!*
	[Screen is filled with blinding white light]
	Careful...I'm not sure what's happening!*
	It looks like...we've been taken back to the forest entrance.*
Jurōjin*	Hohoho! To have been saved by mortals!*
Benzaiten*	We thank you...Any longer and we would have lost our god-hood...*
Bishamonten*	We, the Seven Gods of Luck, took it upon ourselves to protect this place, and absorb the malice... But we failed to account for the sheer amount of malice. By the time we noticed, it was too late, and it possessed our body.*
	Wait...you're the Seven Gods of Luck!?*
	Pretty sloppy job for gods. Looks like your body couldn't handle us!! *
Daikokuten*	Ahahaha! You are right to say that. It'll be a strange tale to recount, indeed.*
Fukurokuju*	Well, I at least intend to do things in the manner befitting a god. The malice we've accumulated here, will be trapped in this forest with our power.*
Buddist Monk, Hotei*	Where the trees of this forest will eventually purify it. Even though with this amount, it may take hundreds...nay, hundreds of thousands of hours for it to be fully cleansed. *
Jurōjin*	And so, we must return to heaven...Mortals, do not got too close to the trees til the purifcation is complete. Lest you be taken by the malice.*
	Ha, goodbye. Huh, we helped gods, us.*
	Just as well... without the Seven Gods of Luck, we Japanese couldn't see in the New Year* with confidence.*
	[The party silently stare at Kurando.]
	Hm? Did I say something odd?*
	Nah, somehow...I bet this is gonna be your year.*

Yuri's New Weapon

Unsettled Shintarō	The red light vanished not too long ago...did you people have anything to do with it?*
	Aha, sort of.*
Unsettled Shintarō	I see...you seem to have a strong mental fortitude. Here, take this - it might be of use to you...*
	[You got the Panda/Kappa weapon!]
	Eh? Are these glove puppets? For each hand?*
Unsettled Shintarō	These are stuffed animals weapons I got from my teacher. But...,I could never bring myself to wear them...for you, however, perfect for hitting things!*
	Oh, I'm gonna hit something with these, alright; you!*
Unsettled Shintarō	Good luck in your future struggles. I entrust them to you. Well, time for me to go!*
	[Shintarō walks away]
	Uh? Hey! Wait a sec! Heeey! Oh...looks like I've finally joined the wacky weapons crew...*
	......
