Ouch!
Something had struck him. It wasn’t the same heat that had been
stinging the back of their necks these past few days. It wasn’t
Yuna’s hand finally giving into the urge to knock him out of his
constant immature (however, adorable) jokes. It was a dark,
spherical object that immediately and heavily hit the ground.
Tidus turned to inspect what it was.
‘That looks like a Blitzball but it-‘ He hadn’t been given much
time.
It happened too fast. She was standing with him a few moments
ago. It happened too fast. That wasn’t enough time. Yuna felt
her heart smash into a million pieces as her rib-cage almost
split open from her scream. Everything hurt.
‘Tidus!?’ She screamed. There was too much smoke. It happened
too fast. It was an explosion. That wasn’t a blitzball. It was a
bomb. Yuna scrambled desperately to her feet. It happened too
fast.
“Tidus where are you!? Tidus I’m hurt! Tidus please say-“ She
tripped. Falling to the ground. Why did she trip? Why was she
covered in blood? What tripped her?
Yuna looked down at her feet. There. With the look of shock
still frozen to it, was Tidus’ head.
“No!” Yuna screamed as her hands desperately clung to her chest.
Every breath came out like a scream. Everywhere she looked was
blurred by her tears. “No! Tidus! No!” She wasn’t breathing. She
didn’t have time to breathe. She didn’t have time to think.
It happened too fast.
Hi Everyone! Just joining today! I recently got the novel and
I'm currently in the middle of translating the whole thing and
re-writing it.
I'm Japanese/Australian and I'm fluent in Japanese & English so
I'm going to do my best! Unfortunately a lot of this novel is
SEEMINGLY mean-spirited & unfortunately, MOST of what is
rumoured... (boat sex, head decapitation, arguments etc)... are
all true.
I'll post the full chapter ASAP! contact me on Facebook here:

^ THANK YOU! I am both jealous an excited by your abilities,
it's much appreciated.
I wish I could say I looked forward to reading it...but, at
least things will be cleared up. I'll just have more rage fuel
now.

That's not a legitimate translation.
Even though our translators didn't get far, the majority of them
translated and confirmed the content regarding Tidus's death.
What he posted has nothing to do with the actual material; it's
false.

Actually it is. Most of the novel is written in Haiku. Just like
the video game's script. It's almost entirely written in poem.
There's also constant perspective changes so in order to avoid
confusion, I'm re-writing it in third-person perspective. I've
read this novel about 20 times and I can constantly say that I
am legitimately translating every chapter. I'm re-writing
everything in an equally-dramatic way in English in order to
keep the same level of drama that is present in the Japanese
version. Otherwise, a LOT of what's written is lost in
translation, so yes, I am changing a few things as I translate
it, but this is just because so far, it's being translated too
literally.
I'm re-writing Chapter 1 at the moment and I will make sure I
post scans of that page (and every page-here-on) to explain
exactly what it is I'm changing in each translation.
A Japanese speaker/person would be able to understand what it is
I'm doing. There's way too many implicational and symbolical
elements to this story that are getting lost in each translation
that has been posted so far.
Thanks! ^_^

Come on, guys. Look at the bright side.
At least Sora is putting tons of effort into his translation. As
a writer, I thank you for that. Also, it's very interesting how
FFX's dialogue was mostly written in a poem format. I didn't
know that.
The good news is you didn't lose the will to read, let alone
translate the rest of the novel halfway through, unlike our
former translators. If you don't mind me being nosy, is there
any other... 'questionable' major things in the novel that we
haven't been informed of yet? Or is it just the nature of the
novel getting progressively grimmer as it goes on? This is some
mysteriously eerie stuff here.

^^ Makes sense, SoraxWare, that's gotta be what the translators
for the games did in the localization. I mean, if they did
officially translate this, I'm sure it would have to be changed
similarly as you said, so yeah, kudos to you! :) Also didn't
know about the poem thing either, hm, interesting.

Unfortunately it's a VERY distressing novel. There's a
completely different feel to this novel when compared to 10,
10-2.
I wouldn't suggest anyone who's a fan of the games to read it
because it's a little too heart-breaking. There's constant
sexual innuendoes. For example, Tidus compliments Yuna's "new
figure" and basically tells her that her breasts make it hard
for him to concentrate. He also brags about the size of his ****
at numerous points and it makes it a little difficult to read.
Unfortunately, this novel is entirely canon so I'm just hoping
they fix this all up in 10-3 because I don't think anyone wants
Yuna and Tidus' relationship in the state it's in by the end of
this novel.
EDIT: Also, a better translation for the title would be "The
Price of Eternity", meaning, the price you pay for an eternity
of happiness with the one you love. Because that's actually what
it's referring too. "Eternal Cost" as a translation is too
literal and doesn't really make any sense.

I understand that you took creative liberties with it, but
that's not what I necessarily want posted. The raw material is
jumbly and emotionless, but it's hollowness attributes to it's
literal interpretation.
Filling it in with a more respectable localization perspective
is a honourable task, but it's highly at your disposal. Not to
disclaim any action on your part, but I'll message you about it
and talk in detail.
