A Quick Question about Certain Ending of CC

[utunnels]

Well, in the "General Kid" ending, after Kid killed Lynx, she came out with a blue gem in her hand.
We know in that room lies the Dragon's Tear, a blue gemstone.
But doesn't the game metioned later that it was the Frozen Flame?

[Acacia Sgt]

At that point, you aren't suppose to know the gem is actually the Dragon's Tear. So, the characters don't know either even in a New Game + when you do. And the endings only follow what it is known at the moment.

[utunnels]

Hmm, probably.

Although in an ordinary game, Kid realized that it was not the Frozen Flame as soon as she saw it.

Kid:
   Oi!
   Could this be...!?

Kid:
   Naah...
   It ain't the
   Frozen Flame.

Yeah, you are right, since this has not happened yet, no one knows how the Flame looks like.

Interestingly, in the demo version of CC this scene was apparently meant to take place during the game, with Viper in Kid's place. It was played at the end of the demo as a preview of what would be in the final game, so apparently Viper was meant to attack Guardia at some point (although this could be a flashback too). See the screenshots here:

It's not clear if that scene was supposed to be part of the game. The Demo scenes have some scenes in common with the demo scenes in the final game, and some of those scenes never happen.

Glitterberri gave her own translation of the scenes, and Viper plans to attack Porre "after the death of the kingdom of Guardia".

[Acacia Sgt]

Then the fact he gathered the Dragoons to tell it means that the end of Guardia was near?

[ZeaLitY]

The dialogue on those demo screenshots are one of the things that need to be translated. Guess it might be difficult since no one's transcribed the characters into text...

[utunnels]

ZOAH's words is same as those he spoke in the intro demo scene at the beginning of the game.

カーシュ
大佐、
ついに我ぅアカシア龍騎士団が討って出ゐ時が……！

Karsh:
General, finally, it's time for our Acacia Dragoons to strike out/to campaign...

マルチェラ
あいつう、みんな殺っちゃっていい？


And Marcy's seem to be her famous "can I kill them all" lines.

Ah, lazy to type them since I don't have JPN IME.

What Riddel says is what Harle says in the intro demo scene.

OK, I can confirm, all other text can be found in the intro demo.
