SQEX-10464: FINAL FANTASY EXPLORERS Original Soundtrack

[kirafreedom]

Are there going to be English names for the tracks at some point?

[James O]

the official track list page doesn't list an english version, so one would have to do it from scratch. it's odd they haven't done it for this.

Added a rough English translation for the time being. I don't have the exact times for the bonus tracks at the end of the soundtrack but they are only 40 second clips of original battle themes more than likely used for the limit break segments.

I corrected some of the English track titles, here are my edits with justifications:

M03: Life of the Hometown --> Living Ruins. According to weblio, ふるさと , if used archaicaly can mean "Ruins". Otherwise the meaning of this title is something like "Living Home" "Breathing Home" "Alive Hometown", etc and I just don't think that fits. http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81...81%95%E3%81%A8
M08: Lock --> Rock (lol). Definitely a chocobo song in the style of rock music.
M09: Suspect --> Suspicious. Suspect Ground is actually an okay translations but using the noun form of "suspect" is ambiguous because it also means "person of interest". I just changed it to "Suspicious" to remove the ambiguity.
M10: Fluctuations of Sight --> Fluctuations in the Clear Stream. Not sure if there is something better
M12: March --> Advance. March is actually okay but still slightly ambiguous given that it really means to "march on", not just "march". Changed to Advance to clear that up.
M13: Intercepting Blade --> Sword of Ambush. This might be something related to the game but I'm not sure. Intercepting Blade was definitely wrong though.
M14: Steps Toward Victory --> Key to Victory. 手がかり means "clue" primarily but can also mean "key", "hint", etc.
M16: Removed "of the Order of" and just left it as "Awakening of the Phoenix". Not sure where "order of the phoenix" came from unless it's some kind of Final Fantasy canon I'm unfamiliar with.
M17: The Wolf's Heaven --> Heavenly Gods. Okami (狼) != Ogami (大神)
M18: Deity of Creation and Destruction --> Demiurge of Destruction. While the meaning is there, it was technically incorrect and should have been something like "[Deity of Creation] of Destruction", which wouldn't make sense. Weblio gave the suggestion of the word "Demiurge", which I had to look up in English but it means essentially the deity that created the universe so while it means the same thing, it flows better. If anyone has a better translation to use than "Demiurge", feel free to suggest it since that is a very uncommon word in English http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E5%89...80%A0%E7%A5%9E
M20: Patron of Water --> Guardian of the God of Water. Patron here is half-correct, it means Patron as in "Patron Saint", as in a Guardian Saint. By itself, patron can also mean "Customer", "someone who partakes in", "someone who supports" and that didn't make sense. Also it's God of Water, not just water (see next few)
M21: Legendary Thunder --> Legendary God of Thunder
M23: The Champion's Blue Sky --> Champion of the Blue Sky. Fixing possession indicator
M24: Dazzle of the Mystics --> Mesmerizing Ghost. I'm not entirely sure this is accurate but "妖魔" means "ghost" or "apparition" and "mystic" could also apply but when we think of Mystic in English we think of something like a Seer, Fortune Teller, etc. Dazzle also is right but mesmerize makes more sense if it's a ghost.
M26: Toshin --> "Battle of the Gods".
M29: Iryoku Crystal --> "Willpower of the Crystal"
M31: Color of Illusion --> Brown Ghost. They used the same kanji for ghost here that they did on M24 and 鳶色 means "The color of brown". Not sure what "Brown Ghost" means or if it's even correct but it's more accurate than before.
M32: Iryoku Gods --> "Willpower of the Gods"
M33: "Start Expedition" --> "Exploration Start". Not inaccurate but I used the word Exploration to keep it in line with the fact that it's called "Final Fantasy Explorers"
M34 ~ M42: Removed "-Final Fantasy Explorers Edit-" as that's just the heading for the track titles and it's not part of the actual titles. Changed everything to "(from "FINAL FANTASY _") from "[Final Fantasy _]" to match the JP track list. Removed the -FINAL FANTASY EXPLORERS EDIT- from JP tracklist, too.
