Hello, hope you're doing well! I have a question related to Radiant Dawn, again.
There's some peculiar line in the Japanese extended script that I find troublesome. In chapter 3-12, Tauroneo comments on how the terrain isn't ideal.
SpoilerMicaiah:
“Are the rocks ready?”Tauroneo:
“Yes. They’re in position. However, the terrain conditions are not ideal, so I cannot promise they’ll be much use.”Micaiah:
“Well, we don’t necessarily need to hit anybody. Our aim is to prevent the enemy from advancing forward.”Given that the Daein Army has the high ground and has prepared boulders, I don't see how the terrain conditions weren't ideal. I guess Tauroneo could be referring to how rocks will be relatively ineffective which is addressed in the gameplay due to there being so few rocks in comparison to the horde of enemies you fight but this is just my interpretation.
Also, is Tauroneo more harsher on Micaiah in the Japanese version?
The English script has Tauroneo criticize Micaiah passively. While in the extended script he's a lot more direct in his criticism.
SpoilerSothe:
“But, Micaiah… Is this really necessary? Can’t we avoid all of this fighting and somehow pretend to obey the senate?”Tauroneo:
“Micaiah, it was you more than anyone else who used to hate plans like this…”Micaiah:
“The apostle’s army has incredible numbers. We wouldn’t stand a chance taking them head-on. They would march right through us. We need to give Pelleas more time, but if we hold back, the senate will know we’re up to something. For now…let’s just try to draw this out a bit and stop the apostle’s army.”Tauroneo:
“Lady Micaiah. Your strength moves me. I shall not falter.”SpoilerMicaiah:
“No, we don’t have enough time. If we let the apostle pass through here, it’ll be too late and her army will cross into Begnion. That will surely anger the senate, and the senate will move to destroy Daein.”Tauroneo:
“Lady Micaiah, please calm yourself. I know that the one who hates this plan more than anyone else is you.”Micaiah:
“We must fight with everything we have so that Daein may live on!”
