Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Security is awfully thin.	There are not nearly enough men here.	やけに警備が手薄だ
Cid	Cid	シド
They’re so eager to fight against Waloed, they’ve moved some of the soldiers [away] from here.	Then it’s fortunate the city guard doesn’t take sentry assignment as seriously as you do.	ウォールードとの戦で躍起になって ここの兵士をいくらか回したか
[Cid sits down and leans against a low wall on the side of the road]	[Cid sits down and leans against a low wall on the side of the road]	[Cid sits down and leans against a low wall on the side of the road]
Cid	Cid	シド
In any case, it’s convenient.	This bodes well.	何にせよ好都合だ
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Even so——	Hmph. That would be a first.	それにしても——
It’s still too suspicious.	This may not be such a terrible plan after all.	さすがに勘繰りすぎたか
Cid	Cid	シド
Oi! What does that mean?	And what exactly is that supposed to mean?	おい そりゃどういう意味だ
[Clive crouches down next to Cid]	[Clive crouches down next to Cid]	[Clive crouches down next to Cid]
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Your so-called shortcuts were always full of enemies.	Only that your last “secret shortcut” was nowhere near as secret as you claimed.	あんたの言う抜け道は いつも敵だらけだったからな
Cid	Cid	シド
I need a little excitement in my long life!	Ah, but that’s half the fun of it. Life’s too short for perfect plans.	この長い人生には ちょっとした刺激が必要なんだよ
Even a youngster like you gets old fast, right?	You want a plan that’ll keep you on your toes—stop you growing old and complacent.	お前みたいな若造だって すぐに老け込んじまうんだぜ?
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
That’s none of your business.	Worked for you, has it?	余計なお世話だ
Cid	Cid	シド
Listen Clive, it’s things like the smallest event, the offhand comment, that lead to something changing.	Clive, my boy, even life’s smallest challenges offer the opportunity to grow and to change!	いいかクライヴ 何かが変わるきっかけなんて 些細な出来事や何気ない一言なのさ

Those are the most important things you can do to enrich your life.	Allow them to suffuse your heart with a deep sense of fulfillment!	人生を豊かにするには それが何よりも大切なんだ
[Clive sighs]	[Clive sighs]	[Clive sighs]
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
I wouldn’t call it “enriching” when all sorts of trouble keeps piling up.	Narrowly escaping death at the hands of an enemy is not my idea of fulfillment.	面倒があれこれ増えることを 豊かになるとは言わないだろう
[Jill snickers]	[Jill snickers]	[Jill snickers]

What’s the matter?	Something wrong?	どうした?

Cid	Cid	シド
Ah, we’ll strike the Mothercrystals’ 《Core》.	Right. We make for the Mothercrystal’s heart, as planned.	ああ マザークリスタルの《コア》を叩く
If we destroy that, the whole thing will collapse.	Destroy it, and the whole thing should come tumbling down.	そいつを壊せば 全体が崩壊するはずだ
[Clive starts and walks up to Cid]	[Clive starts and walks up to Cid]	[Clive starts and walks up to Cid]
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
So, there’s only one place to go?	And if the passage to the inner sanctum is guarded?	なら 行き先はひとつか
Cid	Cid	シド
Yeah, we’ll head for the Crystal Shrine where the Core is enshrined.	Then we embrace the moment and use it to grow and change.	そうだ コアが祀られているクリスタル神殿を目指す
[Cid leads Clive and Jill to a door in the wall of a cliff surrounding the harbor]	[Cid leads Clive and Jill to a door in the wall of a cliff surrounding the harbor]	[Cid leads Clive and Jill to a door in the wall of a cliff surrounding the harbor]
Cid	Cid	シド
This way. Follow me.	Come on. This way.	こっちだ ついてこい
Stay alert.	Try to stay out of sight.	警戒しておけよ
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Yeah, I understand.	Obviously.	ああ 分かってる

「It seems I have to make thee understand this once [and for all].」	Perhaps it is time you learned…	「一度 その身に分からせねばならぬようだ」	Compared to everyone else in FFXVI, Ultima speaks in rather archaic Japanese and has some quirky speech tics as a result. Most of these are hard to really make work in English.
「The “difference” between my and thy beings that nothing can be done about.」	…your place in this grand scheme.	「我と汝の 如何ともしがたい存在の“差”を」	But one that is not hard to make work in English is that Ultima uses an archaic form of “you” whenever he is talking to other people. English totally has an archaic form of “you” ready to go with “thou”!
