Robert Seddon says: Before moving on to GlitterBerri’s translations, I want to note something odd about the filenames. The Honey Bee Inn has six rooms: onna_4 is the main lobby, onna_2 is the dressing room at the top, and the left and right sides each have a pair of rooms sharing a single map file (i.e. one background with the dialogue for each of two rooms): onna_5 to the right, onna_52 to the left. (The extra terminal 2 seems to suggest an alternative version of an area: cf. ealin1 and ealin12, the ground floor of Aeris’s house viewed from two different camera angles.) onna_1 and onna_3? They exist on the disc, as does onna_6, but each is a mere 2KB in size and lzs.exe can’t decompress them.

Other odd aspects are quite a number of blocks that don’t correspond to anything found in Loveless and, for some reason, the absence of the room names familiar from the English script.

Here’s mrkt3, just outside the Honey Bee Inn: the following (with the exception of one block, {AERIS} “Hey!! {CLOUD}!!”) is blank in the English files. Cloud apparently believes Tifa’s inside, so he can’t have discovered she’s in Corneo’s Mansion yet. Aeris: Cloud…!! You’ve GOT to be kidding…
1. Leave this place to me.
2. Tifa’s here, I’m sure of it

Aeris: Something that’ll help with cross-dressing …Hmmm.

Aeris: Hmmm! ???

Aeris: That was fast, Cloud! How’d it go? Any luck?
1. I got lucky.
2. Tifa wasn’t there.

1. Aeris: Oh…! I can imagine. Well, let’s go!


2. Aeris: You knew that from the start. Oh well… I’m having fun too.

Aeris: Anyway, Cloud, waiting’s fun. I’ve been thinking about a bunch of things. It’s weird, isn’t it? We’ve only just met.

Aeris: Yeah… Come back soon.

Aeris: Are you satisfied yet?
1. Sorry for making you wait.
2. Just a little longer.

1. Aeris: Cloud!! Of course… It’s to help Tifa. I feel it…

2. Cloud: It’s to help Tifa. You understand, right?

Aeris: …Alright, alright, go on. You’re the right age to be interested in that stuff.


Aeris: I see how it is! Is that all you want to say?

ONNA2

Intense Makeup

Natural Makeup

Flashy Makeup

Robert Seddon says: There is a smidgeon of unused text [...] which is just one indication of a more involved quest for transvestite pulchritude. Behold the untranslated text of onna_4, starting with another indication that something about the Inn’s layout may have changed during development…

Oh my… ♥ Sir… ♥ We have four rooms, so pick the one you’d like. ♥ You can’t choose an occupied room… ♥

Oh my… ♥ Sir… ♥ Hurry, hurry… ♥

Sir… Is this your first time, I wonder?
1. First time, you say…
2. I wonder…

1. Cloud: It’s my first.

2. Cloud: I’ve forgotten whether it’s my first or not…

1. Ah…

2. Is that so…

Right… We have five rooms, so pick the one you’d like. ♥ You can’t choose an occupied room… ♥
1. Eh…
2. Understood.

Robert Seddon says: These few blocks occupy the place where the names of the rooms appear in the English files. The last version of this dialogue listed 4 rooms and said ダメなのよ instead of ダメよ. The first version also lacks the [options for] reactions; the version below has them too.

Now, sir!! Are you eavesdropping on people?

…Go on and choose one. ♥

We have four rooms, so pick the one you’d like. ♥ You can’t choose an occupied room… ♥
1. Huh…
2. Understood.

Robert Seddon says: Same as the first one, but with reactions.

Go on and choose a room. ♥ (Gosh, he’s so weird… but then again, they all are! ♥)

Cloud: Looks like it’s in use.
1. I’ll try and hear something.
2. I’ll take a peek.

1. Cloud: …Whoa!!

2. This broadcast contains material which may be considered unsuitable for younger viewers.

Cloud: ……

Robert Seddon says: Now I really begin to wonder what Square’s staff meetings were like.

Hmm…? Is there something else? I just hate stubborn people. ♥
1. Um, that is…
2. It’s nothing.

1a. What!!

1b. You sure are stubborn!!

1c. I get it, I get it… Oo, I’m overcome by your enthusiasm. ♥ I’ll do it just for you. ♥ Don’t tell the manager! ♥ It’s our little secret. ♥

2. Relax, sir… It’s our little secret that you like cross-dressing. See you! ♥ Bye bye..! ♥

See you! ♥ Bye bye..! ♥

Received “Sexy Lingerie”.

Cloud: Uh…
1. Please lend me your underwear. It’s for a dangerous mission.
2. Isn’t there another way to say it…?
3. It’s really nothing.

Cloud: Those, uh…
1. I need a present for my girlfriend. Give me your underwear…
2. Too unbelievable, isn’t there another way to say it…?
3. I’ve had it with this. Forget I said anything.

Cloud: Uh…
1. I want something to remember you by. Give me your underwear…
2. This is hopeless. I need some other way to say it.
3. Forget it.

Those, uh…
1. Actually, I’m into cross-dressing. Give me your underwear…
2. Oog, next…
3. I’m sick of this.

Cloud: Uh…
1. I’m a pervert. I want to take a sniff of your underwear…
2. No way, next!
3. This is stupid!

Those, uh…
1. Please give me your underweeaarrr!!
2. Too strong… need something else.
3. I’ll pass.

Cloud: Uh…
1. I like you. Won’t you give me your underwear?
2. Sorry, isn’t there anything else?
3. I quit.

Cloud: Those, uh…
1. Please, your underwear!!
2. Too serious, something else would be good.
3. I said I’m done.

Cloud: Uh…
1. I’m sick… ha ha. Your underwear, they…
2. Sick with what…? Next.
3. Just no.

Cloud: Oog… (Something I can use to cross-dress in order to save Tifa… This Honey Bee look is way too flashy… Ugh, maybe the underwear at least…) Err…!! Underwear..?

Robert Seddon says: Maybe if the people who want an FFVII remake ever get their wish, Square-Enix will let them play the game as it was meant to be experienced, with all these insights into social behaviour and manners restored. Finally, here’s onna_52, with an extended version of the scene where Cloud loses consciousness:

I’ll take this room… Tonight’s an important night.

A SOLDIER? But you’re so young, it must be hard.

…Did you wait?

Oh, you’ve decided? This one, wasn’t it. ♥

Well! ♥ Let’s begin. ♥ OK! ♥ First of all… Get in the bath! ♥
1. Just a minute…
2. Eh…

1. Cloud: I’m against baths.
1. I’d rather die than take a bath.
2. I’m scared of water…

2. Cloud: I’ve forgotten… How many years has it been since I took a bath…? Relax. My underwear are always new.

Cloud: I don’t worry about the little things. I keep my hair natural too.

What are you talking about, silly?

You tend to exaggerate, don’t you. ♥

Well! ♥ Sir. ♥ I won’t complain. ♥ Undress! Undress! ♥

Eww..! ♥ You smell like sweat..! ♥

You really haven’t been taking baths..!
♥ 1. How many years, now…
2. I haven’t really thought about taking one.

That’s OK. ♥ Take your time. ♥

But… You really smell…

How’s the temperature?
1. Could be warmer.
2. Not bad.

1. Patience, patience. ♥

2. Oh! ♥ I’m happy! ♥

Wow! ♥ Sir, you’re amaziiing! ♥

You’re hot..! ♥
1. What are you saying?
2. Hm…?

Cloud: H, huh…? Glub glub glub glub…

Robert Seddon says: Cloud slips and loses consciousness.

Oh no! ♥ Siiir! ♥ How awful..! Someone..! Anyone..! ♥

I depart tomorrow. It’s gonna be a dangerous mission…

Are you sure it’s okay for you to be messing around in this sort of place, Mr. SOLDIER?

You’re making that girl wait for you, right?

It’s OK. To be honest, being followed is getting annoying…

Rub rub rub… Rub rub rub rub….

Chop chop chop… Chop chop chop chop…

???… ??? ♥

Cloud: Oo… Ouch!!

Cloud’s HP/MP restored!

Eeek! Siiir! How awful~! Someone~! Anyone~!

Phew… ♥ What a relief. ♥

Hey, Mr. Too-Cool-To-Care! Who do you think made this TV?
Sir! ♥ Don’t scare me like that.
Is your sleepiness all gone?
1. Yeah…
2. Oog…

1. Hm…? Oh well. ♥

2. Time’s up! ♥ See you. ♥

Cloud: That’s right! I have to see out the mission.

Robert Seddon says: Some of the onna_4 text (“I hate stubborn people”, etc.) is repeated after this. I don’t know quite what to make of the revelation that Cloud keeps his hair natural.
