Dialogues Harmony Of Dissonance

C'est lorsque j'ai eu ce jeu, bien des années après avoir eu Belmont's Revenge, que je suis devenu un fan de Castlevania. Après quoi j'ai continué a prendre ceux qui existaient sur GBA et DS.

J'ai relevé les dialogues dès que je m'y suis mis, et j'ai essayé de les traduire (j'étais en quatrième). Je vais maintenant les retranscrire ici pour en faire profiter d'autres intéressés, en espérant que cela pourra en inciter d'autres à retranscrire les dialogues des Castlevania.


Maintenant que vous avez lu la partie inutile, lisez celle qui est importante:
Je vais tout mettre dans l'ordre. Ce n'est pas un puzzle, et à part les fins, le scénario est linéaire.
Je vais écrire le texte avec des couleurs différentes, en anglais d'abord.

La narration sera en vert
Juste parlera en blanc
Le Maxim Kischine normal en bleu clair ou foncé, en bleu quoi.
Le mauvais Maxim en rouge
Lydie en jaune
Death en orange
Notre bon vieux Drac' en violet(ressemble à du rose mais bon)
Le marchand en vert Olive

Au besoin, j'éditerai ce post pour le rendre plus complet.

Lieu: Portail d'entrée, dans la cour devant le château
So you truly believe that Lydie was brought to this castle...
My memory fails me but... this seems to be the place Don't you believe me?
I know better than anyone that you are not the type to lie.
Juste... Aaargh!!
Maxim tombe à genoux et Juste se baisse pour être à son niveau.
Are you all right?!
I-I'm fine... it's Lydie you should be concerned about, not me... Go on ahead!! I'll be right behind you. You have my word.
OK then. I'll see you inside!!


Lieu: Marble Corridor
Halt! The color of your soul... You must be a Belmont...
That is correct. This... overwhelming power... Death?
Indeed
Which means this is, in fact, Dracula's Castle...
That might be true... though the power that is here is not my lord's
What do you mean?!
I must go now. We shall meet again, son of Belmont...
Aaargh... He... got away...

Lieu: Shrine of the Apostates
Maxim!! Are you all right?
Oh... uh... Juste, is that you? I'm glad you are all right
What's wrong with you? Standing around in a daze... leaves you vulnerable.
I,uh.... I think I have been in this castle before...
What did you say?
I can't clearly recall but I think I've been here before
Your memory is coming back to you?
It seems so. I've been feeling strange since coming to the castle. If we continue a little further, perhaps I may be able to recall something.
Come on! Let's go together, Maxim.
No. If we're going to find Lydie, we must separate. We'll cover more ground.
Hmm... Yes, you are right.
Be careful, Juste.
Watch your back too, Maxim...

1er téléprteur: Juste pense qu'il s'est déplacé dans le château
For some reason, things look a bit different than they did before

Après avoir utilisé un ennemi pour ouvrir un passage, Juste rencontre un marchand
Welcome
?! Why do you have a shop in a place like this?
Well, being the wandering merchant I am, during my travels... I was suddenly swallowed up by a dense fog and ended up there.
Still, there is no need for you set up shop in a place like this.
At first, I spent some time looking for an exit, I couldn't find one, so... without other options, I opened up for a business right here... So, what can I do for you?

Chambre où Juste pose les objets "collectibles"
Whoa, what a nice room. Maybe a bit tasteless. Perhaps some furniture... Okay I guess I'll try putting this down right here!

Juste arrive dans une pièce de la cave Squelette où une guillotine géante se balance de droite à gauche.
Juste! There you are!
What's happened Maxim? Have you found Lydie?
How dare you ask ME of Lydie? You're one of her captors, aren't you?
Huh? What the hell are you talking about?
Oh nothing... Forget it. I know the scope of your power, Belmont. But I will not let you have her
What happened to you? You're not your normal self!
I got new powers to surpass your strength. But first, the woman... Farewell!! May you rot away within the walls of this castle!
Maxim s'en va....
Wait Maxim! Was that truly Maxim? Do my eyes and ears deceive me?

Je ne sais plus où se situe exactement cette scène dans le sky walkway.
Edit: Juste a trouvé un second portail, l'a pris, et dans la première pièce du Sky Walkway, il retrouve Maxim.

Juste! Have you found Lydie?
You... You're Maxim aren't you?
Hey! What do you mean by that?
uh, nothing forget it. So tell me. How did you fare?
I have found nothing yet. But my memory is slowly coming back to me.
Really? So Lydie is somewhere in this castle after all?
Yes. I'm sure of that now. And I know that I have also been here before... ...And there is something I think you should know...
Go ahead, you can tell me anything.
The day you inherited the title of Vampire Hunter... I felt as if a wall had been erected between us... and for that reason, I set out on my expedition. I wanted to be better than you and relieve you out of your fate.
...
Long ago, you told me of Dracula's remains. Do you remember that?
Yes I remember. The story of how my grandfather Simon gatheref Dracula's remains and destroyed them to undo his curse.
I thought my wishes would be granted if I too could gather and destroy them.
What?! You found them?
According to the legend, it's still too early for Dracula's resurrection. It is not like anyone is cursed right now eigther. At first, I was doubtful that I could find all his remains... But I uncovered six parts, as if guided by a higher being...
That's impossible...
I have little memory of what occured after that, but the remains have vanished. I do remember clearly thought that Lydie was kidnapped...
If true, Dracula's bodily remains may be giving rise to this castle...
Forgive me... This is all my fault...
I'm not the one you should be seeking forgiveness from...
?!
You ought to apologize to Lydie first. We must hurry and find her.
Yes. Yes you're right. OK, I'll be off then.
Maxim... I believe in you.
Thanks Juste...

Juste arrive dans une pièce dont le mur du fond semble être un portail circulaire ouvrant sur une lueur étrange. Death attend le Belmont devant le portail.
Aaaargh! Death has returned
Mortal... you know of a man by the name of "Maxim" do you not?
Yes, I do! What about him?!
I believe that man has discovered objects that hold my lord's power.
?! You mean Dracula's remains...
My lord's fragmented remains?! Now it all makes perfect sense...
What on earth are you talking about?
You have provided me with an answer. So, I shall reward you with an explanation. It's simple. This castle is a creation of Maxim's will
What?! But he's not capable of such a feat!
True of the original Maxim, but of my lord's remains changes everything. The castle's two spirits now embody my lord's powers.
The castle's "two" spirits?!
Two spirits exist now within is body. His original spirit and a wicked spirit born from my lord's remains
What a ridiculous notion...
And so, two castles were born to embody the two spirits. Of the two spirits, the wicked one wanted the castles most.
Wait a minute! What do you mean by "two castles"?!
Ignorant mortal... Don't you realize that this castle has two "layers"? I don't want to have anything more to do with you. Farewell!
W-Wait! Are you running away from me?
This castle, as it is now, is a transient one. I must go and aid its completion
Death prend le portail, dont les portes se ferment. Juste prend à son tour le portail; les portes s'ouvrant devant lui, et se retrouve dans une pièce similaire à celle qu'il vient de quitter, quoi que plus sombre
This is the same place I was before, but the aura about it has changed. Now I see. This is what Death meant when he said there were two castles.


Juste arrive dans une pièce où il voit son ami Maxim, qui semble l'attendre...
I see you are still alive...
Maxim! No, you're not Maxim...
Ha. You're onto me.
What the Hell are you?
I am... myself. Justnot the "me" that you knew in the past. This man 's suppressed desires, coupled with his possesion of Dracula's remains, gave rise to a separate spirit... and... that other spirit is me. I'm not sure if he's even aware of my existence
And it was also you who kidnapped Lydie?
Heh-heh. Of course it was my doing. She belong to me. But he went and lost his memory and doesn't even know where she is! But he will retrieve his memory soon! When he does, she'll be all mine.
Damn you!
Sure about that? If I die, your best friend perish with me!
Aaaargh!
Your death is at hand! Die you vile dog!
Le faux Maxim s'en va et laisse derrière lui un boss nommé Shadow.

Après avoir vaincu Shadow, Juste change de château et va dans la pièce équivalente...où il retrouve Maxim
Ju- Juste
Maxim!! It's really you this time right?
...So I see you've run into... my other self.
Yeah
I see... I was nearly taken over by him... Dracula's strength was so overwhelming...
Don't say that! You must stay strong!
Listen to me. When he brought Lydie to this place He did her in a castle forged from the fabric of my mind. By losing my memory, I protected her, but I think I've reached my limit. She's in the lord's room. With this bracelet, you can gain entrance well
Maxim pose un bracelet à côté de lui. Juste le prend...
I can't just leave you lying here like this...
You must! We can't let him get a hold of Lydie!
I- I got it. Once I've saved Lydie, I promise, I'll come back for you...
Go now. It's up to you...

Juste traverse donc quelques couloirs infestés de monstres, puis arrive à la Chapelle, où le bracelet de Maxim lui permet d'ouvrir une porte magique. Derrière, il trouve l'escalier au tapis rouge menant aux appartements de Dracula, avec sur sa droite une magnifique vue de la Tour de l'Horloge. Puis il affronte un démon appellé Pazazu, et enfin, derrière la porte dont ce démon gardait l'entrée...
Lydie!
Juste! Is it really you, Juste?!
Are you all right? Are you injured?
I'm fine. Maxim had me tucked safely away here.
Oh I see
Didn't he come with you?
Maxim's waiting for us outside, I think...
Hey, What happened to the person that brought me to this place?
You mean that you don't know who it was that kidnapped you?
Until Maxim came to my rescue, I- I was blindfolded.
I see... Okay, let's try to get out of this place.
Yeah, let's go...
Death apparait alors.
So, this is where you've been hiding... He too os a bold man...
Death prend Lydie dans ses bras
Noooo!
Lydie!
I shall have this maiden for myself
No! Juste... save me!!!
Death s'en va avec Lydie
Damn! I must hurry after them!

Juste est dans des grottes sous la château et retrouve enfin Death.
So, it's you! Return Lydie to me!
Fear not. That maiden is now with Maxim.
But why? Leave Lydie out of this!
That maiden will play an essential role in the completion of this castle.
What do you mean by that?
This castle is in a transient state and is preparing for my lord's resurrection. However, the castle is not complete until these two castles have merged. In short, we must rid of your dear friend's spirit.
Maxim is a man of great strength! It won't be so easy to do as you plan!!
He was born of my lord, so of course he knows ways to reinforce his power. When something is dear to you, it's effect you becomes immeasurable.
?! No, surely not... Not Lydie's blood... Stay away from her!
Do not interfere. Now, I will extinguish the candle of your soul!
Combat entre Juste et Death... et Juste gagne.
You're too late... The castles will soon begin to merge together...


Fin n°1
Juste a utilisé des Crush Boots pour casser un plafond non loin du lieu où était retenue Lydie, et a trouvé une sorte de chandelier. Lorsqu'il frappe ce chandelier, il entend un grand bruit venant du centre du château. Il y va donc, et découvre qu'une trappe dans le sol, qu'il avait remarqué plus tôt, s'est ouverte. Il prend son courage à deux mains et saute. Il y a un ascenseur qui le mène près du coeur du château, mais l'entrée de celui-ci semble être plus bas. Il contourne donc la structure et atteint finalement un ascenceur qui le mène au coeur du château. Là, il voit Maxim penché sur une Lydie inconsciente.
Stop!
J-Juste. it's you...
Lydie, are you all right?!
...
She's lost consciousness. But I think we've made it here intime! Maxim. You've still managed to hold onto your true self.
Yes, by some means or another... but... I've reached my limit... I-I beg you... take my life.
Wha-what do you speak of? I can't...
I can't hang on any longer. I can't fight the impulse.
But I... I cannot take your life.
Then, I'll make you kill me... Defend yourself!

Juste combat donc Maxim, un combat de longue haleine, son ami étant rendu plus fort par le pouvoir de Dracula. Il parvient cependant à vaincre cet esprit monstrueux habitant le corps de son ami.
Thank you, Juste... For I did truly desire to be felled by your hand...
Maxim!
I wanted to free you from your cursed fate...
that's enough. There's no need to speak of anything else...
Take care of Lydie, will you...
Les dernières forces quittent Maxim. Celui-ci s'effondre, mort.
Maxim!!!

Juste sort donc du château en emportant Lydie avec lui. Il observe le château se désagréger, maintenant que l'esprit le retenant en ce monde a été à nouveau banni. Puis il s'aperçoit que Lydie est en train de se réveiller.
... oh. Ooh...
It looks like you're coming to...
Have we... been saved?
Yes...
Huh? Where's Maxim?
...Maxim is... arghh...
Juste... It's all right. You don't have to say anything more.
I...I...
I have no idea about what happened between the two of you... but you mustn't blame yourself. Blaming yourself is the same as blaming him.
Perhaps you're right... Indeed, Maxim would have agreed with you...
At any rate, let's go home. We'll figure it all out after we've rested.
That sounds good... Let's go home, Lydie!
Rideau, générique de fin. Résultat: Maxim est mort (Fin moyenne).


Fins n°2 et 3

Juste a réussi a trouver toutes les reliques de Dracula. Il SAIT qu'il ne lui en manque aucune. Il sait que Lydie était dans le coeur du château... mais duquel? Il décide donc de se fier à son instinct, lui disant que Lydie n'est pas dans celui ouvert par le chandelier étrange qu'il a cassé précédemment. Sachant que le temps lui était compté, Juste décida d'aller directement sauver son amie d'enfance, dans le château où il n'avait rencontré que le mauvais Maxim... Il prend donc cette sorte d'ascenseur et découvre Lydie, étendue au sol...
Lydie!
...
She still draws breath, but... Damn! I am too late.
Welcome to the party, Juste. You're late.
Maxim...
Maxim? Oh, his spirit no longer lives within me. And I owe it all to that woman. Look all the strength she's given me.
Dammit! No mercy for you!
Who needs mercy? Weak threats from an unworthy opponent

Fin n°2
Juste combat donc vaillament ce monstre qui a pris le corps de Maxim. Il sait que s'il tue ce corps, il détruira Maxim et son hôte... Mais sera-t-il capable de vaincre? Sera-t-il capable de tuer son ami? Juste Belmont crie de rage et de douleur en combattant l'image de Maxim... et parvient à le vaincre...
Maxim... Forgive me...
You think I will lose... I, who wield the powers of Count Dracula...
Maxim was stronger than you are... I don't believe that you could have taken all that he was!
But if I die, he will perish as well. And the woman, too.
...
So, this is goodbye... With that cursed strength of yours, you'd better hunt down Dracula eternally...
Juste ne sait plus comment il est sorti du château, mais il l'a fait... et le regarde se désintégrer avec tristesse... et colère
Damn it all! Ultimately, I couldn't save Lydie or Maxim. All that remains to remember them by in this bracelet... I couldn't even protect those I love. I've failed as a Vampire Hunter! What on Earth should I do with myself now...?
Rideau sur cette fin tragique, mauvaise: Juste n'a réussi à sauver ni Lydie, ni Maxim...

Fin n°3
Juste, une fois de plus guidé par son instinct, avait su quoi faire: il avait enfilé les deux bracelets, le sien et celui de Maxim, pour combattre l'esprit qui a pris le corps de ce dernier. Et savait que Maxim luttait encore également pour reprendre le dessus... Et ils gagnent tous les deux.

Aaargh... Tha-that bracelet. You wore it for me...
Maxim, is that you?
Wh-Why do you still live within me?! I thought you were dead!!
Remember, Maxim!! You're stronger than this
You- you-re right... But compared to the training we had... This is nothing.
Why? Why can I not free myself of you?
Because I choose not to free you. Juste! Finish me off!
Aaaargh... I sense a strong magik at work
The-The remains...
As long I have this power, I have no need for this body! Here, have it!
Aaaah!
Les reliques de Dracula quittent Juste, et se rassemblent... se rassemblent et prennent une forme étrange, que Juste reconnait immédiatement...


Dracula's Wraith (Esprit de Dracula) se tient devant Juste. Il n'a pas de jambes et flotte en l'air. Juste voit au travers de son corps, visiblement immatériel.
Hmph, I'm not stable, but your blood will once again make me whole
Take it if you can... Do not underestimate the power of Belmont...
OK. Let us begin then. I will enjoy destroying you.
Juste combat donc l'apparition. Son fouet et ses sorts touchent Dracula, le blessent... Celui-ci, au bout d'un moment, change de forme et devien une abherration immonde, la fusion des reliques. Juste continue à le combattre, sachant que Dracula ne se transforme que lorsqu'il est sur le point de perdre... Et contre toute attente, il finit par vaincre le Seigneur des Ténèbres
Argggh!!
I told you so. Do not unserestimate the power of my bloodline!!
So-so this is the power of Belmont...
Vile spawn of Maxim you are no worthy of being my opponent.
I will now fade from this world... but I find some pleasure in this... With the cursed powers of yours, destiny calls you to hunt for all eternity.


L'Esprit/Apparition de Dracula disparait, et Juste est transporté au dehors du château, avec Lydie et Maxim, toujours inconscients. Le château se désagrège, et Maxim se réveille alors.
Wh-Where am I?
Maxim, you've come back to us
Am I alive...?
You used your own strength to force him out of you
It wasn't my strength... It was yours and Lydie's...?! What about Lydie?! Did you save her?
She hasn't come to, but her bite marks faded when Dracula was vanquished. She's regained some color. It's just a matter of time before she wakes up.
I see... Juste... Please forgive me...
It's all behind us now. Everyone's been saved, so there is nothing more to say.
Thank you.
uhh... ooh...
It looks as if Lydie's coming to...
Huh, Juste... What am I doing here...? I think... that I... was bitten by Maxim
Calm down. You must have just had a bad dream. Feel your neck.
... There's nothing there... Huh, it was just a dream.
Hey, tell her the truth...
Shh! Keep quiet.
What? Maxim! You've come back!
Yes, bur actually...
Yes Maxim, I'm sure you are exhausted, so let's talk after we get home!
No, I want to...
Come on Maxim. Nothing happened! Isn't it best we leave it at that?
No that's not right! You should finish what you start
What did you say?!
Lydie se place entre ses deux amis d'enfance pour les séparer et crie:
Cut it out, you two!
...
...
Stop it, both of you! Don't get started. We just go together.
Actually, Lydie...
I'll hear your stories at home. Until then, let's talk about other things.
You heard the lady.
All right...
Hee hee. It's been a while, hasn't it, since the three of us got together.
Yes, it has...
Yes...
Rideau. Meilleure fin; Juste a banni Dracula, et sauvé Juste et Lydie.

J'ai effacé les messages polueurs.
Nous attendons la suite de ton travail avec impatience!
Merci à toi et bonne chance pour le bac!
(j'editerais nos message pour que le sujet soit plus lisible)

Pas grave.

Je sais à quel point cela peut être long et fastidieux de traduire un jeu.

Je m'étais attaqué en effet à la traduction anglaise et française intégrales de Shining Force III, un incroyable bijou que la Saturn nous avait offert et un des 5 meilleurs jeux du monde à mes yeux.

Mais après des mois et des mois, j'avais fait cinquante pages et j'en anticipais encore 200 !

C'est un boulot de malade, je dirais même plus : un véritable métier.

[Post à supprimer]

pourquoi ne pas traduire "Death" par "la Mort"?

Parce qu'ils l'appellent Death dans le jeu (c'est son nom : la traduction exacte sera pour plus tard, là on est en version anglophone. Et je trouve que pour faire de la narration en français au milieu de paroles en anglais, Death sonne mieux, et est plus rapide à écrire.

Voilà, j'ai fini de retranscrire les textes de HoD en citant les trois fins. J'ai tout regroupé sur deux posts (ça rentrait pas dans un seul), pour plus de lisibilité. La traduction, si jamais il y en a une, sera pour plus tard.
