Final Fantasy XV A New Dawn Translation. The Epic Story It Deserves

Final Fantasy XVA New Dawn was supposed to be DLC for the game would wrap everything up. That didn’t happen and thus we have the novel which lays how the whole DLC plan for season 2 story wise was supposed to be. This is a fans translations so something maybe off but from what we see it certainly sounds like a full on FF story as it should be as well as completing all the gaps from the main story. Check it out as well as Pez breakdown as I learned of the translation through him.

Translation

[深い水底は空に似ている。
光射す水の煌めきは、まるで花びらが舞い踊るよう。
美しくて、どこか物悲しくて。
ルーナと呼ばれた気がした。大好きな人に。
会いたいと願い続けていたからだろうか、
その人の顔が揺らめく水の向こうに浮かんでいる。
The depths of the water resemble the sky.
The glimmering of the light through the water looks just like flower petals on the breeze.
Beautiful, and somehow sad.
I had a feeling that someone was calling, “Luna”. A loved one.
Perhaps it is because I have been wishing to meet him for so long, that his face appears floating on the other side of the shimmering water.

その口許が「ルーナ」と動く。
眉根を寄せて、叫んでいる。
今にも泣き出しそうな顔は、
大人になった今も変わっていない。
His lips form the word, “Luna”.
His brows are furrowed as he shouts.
His face, looking as though he might cry at any moment, hasn’t changed a bit, even now he has grown up.

十二年前、出会ったばかりのころと、少しも。
必死に手を伸ばす、その姿。
変わっていない、これも。
十二年前のあの日、故郷テネブラエでのできごと。
ニフルハイム帝国の兵士たちがフェネスタラ宮殿を襲った。
あまりにも突然だった。手を引かれて、走った。
逃げなければ殺される。自分が、ではない。
自分自身よりも大切な人、ノクティス王子が。
Not a bit, from twelve years ago when we had just met.
I see him reach out to me, desperately.
That hasn’t changed either.
It happened on that day twelve years ago, in my home of Tenebrae.
The Niflheim Empire’s soldiers attacked Fenestala Manor.
It was all too sudden. My hand was taken, and we ran.
Escape or be killed. Not myself.
Someone more important than myself, Prince Noctis.

当時は神凪の任に就いていなかったとはいえ、
己に課せられた定めは理解していた。
王を、いずれ王となる人を支える。
この身を投げ打ってでも。
それが、神に与えられた使命だと。
Though I had not yet assumed my duty as Oracle, I understood the fate that was mine to bear.
To support the King- the boy who would someday become King.
Even if I had to sacrifice myself.
That was the mission the Gods had given me.

私を連れていては、逃げ切れない。
でも、私さえいなければ、
ノクティス様お一人なら、
レギス陛下は必ず逃げ延びてくださる。
だから、自ら手を離した。怖くはなかった。
ただ、これきり会えないかもしれないと思うと、
悲しかった。
それでも、ノクティス様が生きてくださるなら。
If they took me, they would not be able to escape.
But without me, if it were Noctis alone, King Regis would certainly be able to escape to safety.
And so I let go. I wasn’t afraid.
Just sad, when I thought that this might be the last time we met.
Even so, if it meant that Noctis could live…

ルーナと叫ぶ声が、
力の限りに差し伸べられた手が、
遠ざかっていくのを見送った。
その姿、その声を忘れたくなくて、
まっすぐに顔を上げていた。
I watched as the voice shouting “Luna” and the hand reaching out for me with all its might faded into the distance.
I kept my face up and looked forward, because I didn’t want to forget his image, his voice.

帝国に取り込まれても、
その場を動かなかった。
瞼に焼き付いた幼い姿と、
大人になった顔と重なる。
Even when the Empire surrounded me, I couldn’t move from that spot.
The image of him as a child, burned into my eyelids, overlaps with his now-grown face.

お別れです。ノクティス様。
けれども、なぜだか、今のほうが悲しい。
身を切られるように、つらい。
あの日よりも歳を重ねているのに、
もう大人なのに、正式な神凪となって
久しいというのに。
This is goodbye, Noctis.
And yet, for some reason, it’s sadder this time.
It hurts like a knife in my body.
Though I have grown so much older since that day, though I am an adult now, I have formally become the Oracle, though it’s been a long time.

なぜだろう、あどけない子供のように泣いてしまいたい。
…いいえ、いいえ、そんなことはしない。
笑っている顔を、覚えてほしいから。
精一杯、微笑んで、静かに手を伸ばす。
いつの間にか、青い花を手にしていた。
大好きだったジールの花。
この花をあなたに。きっと。これが最後だから。
Why is it, that I want to cry like a naive child?
…No, no, I will not.
I want him to remember my smiling face.
I smile with all my strength and quietly reach out my hand.
Before I knew it, a blue flower had appeared in my hand.
One of the sylleblossoms that I loved so much.
I’ll give this flower to you. Surely. Because this is the end.

これからは、少しだけ離れた場所から、
あなたのことをお守りします。
さようなら。ノクティス様。
あの日よりも、ゆっくりと、
差し伸べ合った手と手が離れていく。
ここが水の中で良かったと思う。
水の中なら、涙を流してもわからない。
From now on, I’ll be watching over you from somewhere not too far away.
Farewell, dear Noctis.
More slowly than they did on that day, the hands we reach out to each other part.
I’m glad that we’re underwater.
In the water, he won’t know if I shed tears.

沈む。光すら届かない。
深い水の底へ。遠くへ。
ああ、もう声を上げて泣いても大丈夫。
ノクティス様には聞こえない。
I sink. Not even the light reaches here.
To the deep bottom of the water. Far away.
Ah, now I can raise my voice and cry.
Noctis won’t be able to hear me.

「泣かないで」 優しい声がした。
幼いころから、いつもそばにいてくれたゲンティアナの声が。
「少し、お眠りなさい」
両の瞼を撫でる手。
怖い夢を見て深夜に目を覚ますと、
こうしてゲンティアナが寝かしつけてくれた。
お兄様、お母様もぐっすり眠っているのに、
ゲンティアナだけが気づいてくれるのが
不思議でたまらなかった。
“Don’t cry.” A kind voice spoke.
It was the voice of Gentiana, who has always been by my side since I was small.
“For a while, sleep.”
A hand moves across my eyelids.
When I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, Gentiana lulled me to sleep like this.
That Gentiana noticed, even though Brother and Mother were fast asleep was too mysterious to bear.

悲しみは変わらずにあったけれども、
心細さや不安は跡形もなく消えていた。
ゲンティアナの優しい手に安らぎを覚えながら
眠りに身を任せる。
Though the sorrow was ever-present, my loneliness and fear vanished without a trace.
As Gentiana’s gentle hand brought peace to me, I gave my body over to sleep.

不思議な眠りだった。
まどろみ、と呼んだほうが近いかもしれない。
夢と現の狭間は、ひたすらに温かい。
形ある思考が消えて、
時間の感覚も失せて、
ぼにゃりとした温盛だけがある。
It was a mysterious sleep.
Calling it a daze might have been closer.
The gap between dream and reality was a warm place.
All thoughts with form vanished, and I lost my sense of time, there was only a hazy warmth.

どれくらい、そうしていたのだろう。
突然、体が浮上した。
これまでとは明らかに異なる感触に戸惑う。
それは、目覚めに似ていた。
いや、目覚めだった。
How long did I spend like that?
My body suddenly began to float.
I was bewildered by the clear difference in sensation to before.
It was like an awakening.
No, it was an awakening.

はっきりとした重さを感じる瞼をこじ開けると、
痛みと刺激が眼球を襲った。
呼吸をしようと開いた口から
嫌な味が流れ込んでくる。
When I force my heavy eyelids open, pain and sensation assaults my eyeballs.
An unpleasant taste enters my mouth when I open it to breathe.

水の中だ。とっさに手をつく。
幸いにも深さのある水ではなかった。
咽せ返りながら、ルーナフレイナは上体を起こした。
I’m underwater. My hands immediately find ground.
Fortunately, it was not particularly deep water.
Coughing violently, Lunafreya heaves herself upward.

どうやら、決して清潔とは言いがたい水だったらしい。
両の目に、ひどい異物感があった。
瞬きをするたびに、涙がぼろぼろこぼれた。
「ここは?」
It seems that the water was by no means clean.
I felt like there was dust in both of my eyes.
Each time I blinked, tears poured out.
“Where am I…?”]
