Just wondering; can the kanji in the last title be construed as "planet" having the dreams in any way?

Yes, my translation of it was 'At the End of the Planet's Dream.'

If a Japanese person read that, they would say "hoshi no yume no owari ni," 'hoshi' meaning, essentially, blips in the sky, a.k.a. stars, or distant planets.
But, I see your point. Having it be the "Planet's" dream would certainly make more sense in the context of the game. And yes, that kanji "SEI" is applied to the suffix of elemental kanji (water, ocean, heaven, earth, gold, fire) to make the names of the planets. So, I have no problem making it the "Planet's dream," although when you talk about a "planet" in japanese, you say "waku-sei" (two kanji). I think we should check Robo's conversation about the "Entity/Planet" for final confirmation.

If you wanted to be exacting, yes, wakusei is planet, hoshi is star. Colloquially though, it's used to mean planet, especially when in relation to the fact that it is in space. I've always used hoshi in my comversations with my japanese friends, and I've seen it used that way all over the place (Sonic CD's references to Little Planet as 'utsukushii hoshi' and 'time stone ga neru hoshi'  immediately come to mind). Like, I can imagine a teacher making it a point to mention the differences, but used commonly, I'd say it leans a bit towards planet.

EDIT: hah, from the very line I'm translating in the script:
王「平和ボケして自分の事しか考えて   いなかった自分が情けない。   国のため……、この星のためを   考えなくてはならない時に。[END]
'kono hoshi no tame'

Yeah, you're right, they're definitely using 'hoshi' to mean the planet that they're on, not just the planets in space.
I guess I usually use 'chikyuu' or 'sekai' or whatever, in my conversations, but I guess that has the connotation of being literally Earth, i.e. the one we're on. Saying 'kono hoshi' does give it kind of a fantasy planet feel... which is what they must have been going for.
Ok, it's confirmed. Nice.

This is what I'm hoping for, all the translators to collaborate and decide on the best meanings like this, heh. And hopefully we'll all learn more.

One more small discrepancy:
ラヴォスの呼び声
The Voice that Calls Lavos

should really be Lavos's Call or Call of Lavos (it was Lavos Beckons in Woolsey's). Or, more towards the literal side, The Calling Voice of Lavos. 'Yobigoe' is a colloquial compound word that means call (as in invitation), or beckoning. 'The Voice that Calls Lavos' would be Lavos wo yobu koe. Just pointing that out~

Now back to work on my own stuff, sorry to butt in. ^^;

You're right, I totally scanned over that without realizing it was a "no" instead of "wo" (and "bi" instead of "bu"). Thanks. I think Woolsey picked a good verb, "beckon," so I'll stick with that.
