Confidential File -Secret Chapters- Directory

Because the content I've translated / scanned from this book is scattered across this blog on multiple pages, I've decided to put together a directory of the content in the book so readers can more easily find what they're looking for. Please note that as I haven't translated the entire book and god knows I probably never will, the unlinked sections below are not (yet?) included on this blog. If anyone's still reading this long-neglected blog, this would be the place to request specific translations in the comments, though! Prologue Q&A For Strangers in Paradise This section primarily teaches how to play the game so it's likely I won't be translating it. Settings File Mission & Battle File Challenge File Secret 1: Story & World Study Character Profiles  View them all in one post at the link above, or individually: Jack Ash Jed Neon Sophia Astos Sarah Bikke King of Cornelia Minister Lagone Queen Jayne Mia Lufenian Darkness Manifest Tiamat Marilith...

Expanding on Astos from FFI

Why decide to make Astos important to the story?

Inoue: In Final Fantasy I, Astos is described by the elves as someone trying to control the elves with his dark power, and he's actually the only other character who is clearly on the side of darkness besides Chaos. So, I thought that it would be nice to expand on the idea of why he's on the side of darkness (and Chaos). And we decided to portray him as someone who admires Jack, who is trying to strengthen his dark power while his feelings for Jack remain due to their time spent together, even in the world after the reset at the end of this game.

Extra Fool's Missives Complete Text

These Fool's Missives do not appear in game and are only published alongside the enemy data files in Confidential File. The numbering starts anew, as they're a separate collection of missives. They are also clearly written by Astos, but I'm not confident in my ability to reproduce his writing style, so please bear with my translations. It's also possible that the monsters' names are localized differently than the direct translations I'm taking from the book. I'll do my best to match the English localization, but if I miss anything, please leave a comment and let me know. Fool's Missive Extra I Goblin, Goblin Guard, Bogeyman Discards of Lufenian experimentation, some sort of creature that holds knowledge" Their appearance so hideous they wear masks to conceal it, they attack humans. Is it because they have been inflicted with darkness and have lost their sense of self, or do they indiscriminately attack of their own accord...? I suppose that the gobl...

Lufenian Report Analysis

The following passages expand upon existing Lufenian Report data. The Strangers' True Identity The Lufenians are using humans gathered from other planets to manage the balance of light and darkness in Cornelia. Without knowing this truth, Jack and his companions simply assume they are Lufenian, and consider Station 19 their homeland. In addition, their clothing (their starting equipment) are from their real homeland. Mechanisms of Recreation Lufenians use the term "reset" to describe using the power of the dimensional crystal matrix to go back in time and reconstruct the world.  The Lufenians have used this technology to control the balance of light and darkness through trial and error. In the event of a reset, the lives and memories of the Cornelians are rewound, but a portion of their memories remain in the world as a black mist. Interdimensional Collaborator The collaborator who initiated the Stranger Project has often advised the Lufenians since then, while requesting...
