MSTing of "The Final Fantasy I Script" Part One

(Note from the MSTer: Normally, when I MST something, it's because I hate it. Not in this case. I love FF1. I MSTed this for several reasons: 1. RPGamer had been slow in putting up new editorials, and I wanted to MST something. 2. To poke some mild fun at the rather poor translation of this game. 3. For fun! I hope you enjoy this...thanks to Bugen for inspiring this with his idea (even though he never completed it) of MSTing FF2's script, J. Brian Ferguson (even though I do poke fun at him once or twice in this MSTing) for compiling this script, and our board's resident dryad for putting this up on her page. Enjoy!)

(Note from Ellcrys: Like many MSTers nowadays, Daniel doesn't use Tom, Crow, and Joel/Mike in his MSTs, but adds creativity to the idea by using his own characters, who Daniel describes as such:
Hator Berserkin: A 7'6" warrior. He speaks almost entirely in grunts (except when he's angry), but his grunts are so incredibly eloquent that this doesn't hamper his speech at all. He's easily the strongest of all of my MSTers and wields a falchion (a sort of sword) that glows either red, yellow, or blue.
Yator Berserkin: A 5'0" healer. He whines and babbles constantly, and often won't shut up. He is extremely puny, and the others often call him stupid.
Halzamon Harmoon: A sorcerer. He speaks almost entirely in sarcastic or pessimistic statements. He is arguably the most powerful of my MSTers, if they all got into a fight, either he or Hator would win.
Oh, and another thing... the MST is quite long, so it's in 4 parts. There's a little menu type thing I added at the bottom for easy navigation. Now on with the MST... oh, there's more from Daniel. ^_^)

(Note from the MSTer: For your convenience, I kept this key in here, but didn't MST it... I did, however, remove an intro written by the author and some author's notes at the end.)


- KEY -

I will be using some shorthanded symbols and single letters throughout this script,
so if you wish to FULLY understand it, I would recommend reading this portion.
There's not that many, so take the time now and you'll be better off knowing what
everything means. Oh, also, text formation is as it appears in the game--meaning
it is an *exact* representation..down to spacing and words per line. For sanity's
sake the only text not appearing here is the brief dialogue in the: INN, ITEM, and
MAGIC shops which all just rehash the same prattle anyhoo. It is divded into 4 PARTS
and sub-divided into 10 CHAPTERS for easier navigation and use.

(r) = this dialogue is *repeated* elsewhere via another source.

(s) = character is *stationary* and does not move.

LW = LIGHT WARRIORS (Hikari no Senshi)

FTR = For the record.

WTH = What the heck!?

= usually comes directly after a piece of dialogue--meant
to imply some sort of action taking place.

{*} = only used once [Dwarf Cave] in this script, it's supposed to be a substitution
for a graphic of the bracelet that is used in the dialogue box.
