The Final Battle — Origin

Origin

An ancient civilization’s ruin that Ultima revived.

Origin

Awoken from its slumber beneath the foundations of Twinside,
this corrupted construct now looms over the Twins,
its form a bruise on the very heavens.

My brothers, who devoted their bodies to be Mothercrystals,
were collecting aether from various places and sending it to Origin.
They sacrificed their flesh to become beating hearts of crystal,
that pumped the land’s lifeblood from the depths of the earth unto this very chamber.
その身を捧げ マザークリスタルとなった我が同胞は

But they have finally finished their duty and were released by thee.

[After] more than an eternity, our family will be one…In this you have served us well. You have both served us well.久遠の時を越え 我ら一族はひとつになる⋯“[After] more than an eternity” is more literally “crossing over/exceeding/transcending an eternity”.
Let us welcome our final member.Welcome home, Brother.最後の一席を 迎えよう“member” is literally “seat”, which can figuratively have the idea of “position/status”
or being part of a organization in general.

JoshuaJoshuaジョシュア
Listen, Clive…Listen to me, Clive.聞くんだ クライヴ⋯
Ultima, as a god…
Gathered the faith…of the people he himself produced…
You remember the murals? People once knew that Ultima was their god…
That he created them…
アルテマは神として⋯
自らつくり出した人々の⋯信仰を集めた⋯
That is…that guy’s a recipient of desires…
He’s someone who was entrusted with people’s thoughts…
And they worshiped him. Prayed to him. Looked to him for guidance.つまり⋯奴は願望の受け皿⋯
人の想いを託された者だ⋯
CliveCliveクライヴ
No way…!In vain.
まさか⋯!
JoshuaJoshuaジョシュア
Yes…there’s so many thoughts whirling around in that guy…
That he’s built up…a solid Ego-Self…
In vain…for he did not listen. Did not acknowledge our will.
And so we strayed from his path to forge one of our own.
そうさ⋯奴の中には 数多の思念が渦巻いている⋯
強固な自我を⋯つくり上げるまでに⋯
Really, it’s awfully ironic…So absorbed was he in his own desires—まったく とんだ皮肉さ⋯
He denies people’s Ego-Self so much,
but he’s the same as us…
So driven by his own will alone—that he shunned the one thing
that could have made him truly powerful.
あんなに人の自我を否定しておいて
僕たちと同じなんだから…
And…Brother, you are also entrusted with many thoughts…Faith. The same faith people now place in you.そして⋯兄さんも多くの想いを託されてる⋯
The thoughts of Cid and his companions
about making “a place where people can live as people”…
Faith that you will fulfill their dream, Cid’s dream, of creation a better world for us.“人が人として生きられる場所”をつくりたいという
シドや仲間たちの想い⋯
The thoughts of the Rosfield Family
about saving as many people as possible…
Faith that you will follow in Father’s footsteps, and save those who need saving most.少しでも多くの人を救いたいという
ロズフィールド一族の想い⋯
The thoughts of Jill about protecting you by [being at] your side, Brother…Faith that you will answer Jill’s plea…to save yourself.兄さんをそばで守りたいという ジルの想い⋯
The stronger…the thought…
The stronger the Ego-Self of the person entrusted with it…
The difference is, Clive, that you chose to listen. And that is what has steeled our bonds.その想いが⋯強いほど⋯
託された者の自我も強くなる⋯
Brother, you and Ultima…because of each other’s strong Ego-Selves…
You can never meld together…!
Bonds that helped you stand firm when Ultima’s pull was at its strongest.
His power may be absolute…
兄さんとアルテマは⋯互いに強固な自我を持つがゆえに⋯
決して溶け合うことができないんだ⋯!
So Brother…I entrust my thoughts to you…!But so is ours…and so will yours be.だから兄さんに⋯僕の想いも託すよ⋯
