Are you ready, [name]? Then let us begin.

The Flames of Ul'dah burn bright, casting light where there is dark and purging evil wheresoever it lurks.

• FR Les Immortels ont été créés pour faire face aux ennemis d'Ul'dah. ‘The Immortals were created to face the enemies of Ul'dah.’ English pictures the Flames burning bright and purging evil; French says the Immortals were created to face Ul'dah's enemies.

We are ever ready to meet the nation's enemies in battle, be they beastmen, Garleans, or worse.

• DE Dazu gehören vor allem die Primae und das Garleische Kaiserreich. ‘These include above all the primals and the Garlean Empire.’ English names beastmen among the enemies; German names the primals instead.
• JA 我ら「不滅隊」は、蛮神やガレマール帝国、さらには霊災という国難を乗り越えるために結成され、今なお戦いの最中にある！ ‘We, the Immortal Flames, were formed to overcome national crises such as primals, the Garlean Empire and moreover the national disaster that is the Calamity, and we are still in the midst of battle!’ English lists beastmen, Garleans "or worse"; Japanese names primals and the Calamity as the crises.

And at a word from Flame General Raubahn Aldynn, we would gladly lay down our lives to maintain the peace and prosperity of Ul'dah.

• DE Uns geht es wie einer Karawane mitten in der Wüste, die eine lange Durststrecke überwinden muss, doch Phönixgeneral Raubahn weist uns den Weg zur nächsten Oase. ‘We fare like a caravan in the middle of the desert that has to get through a long dry stretch, but Phoenix General Raubahn shows us the way to the next oasis.’ English says they would gladly die for Ul'dah; German compares them to a desert caravan led to the next oasis.

To join our ranks, you must forsake all other nations. Only then may you commit yourself to the fire and be reborn as an Immortal Flame.

• DE Reihe dich ein in den Zug der Legion und erfülle deine Pflicht! ‘Fall in with the column of the Legion and do your duty!’ English demands forsaking other nations and rebirth as an Immortal Flame; German just says join the column and do your duty.

Burn as one of us, [name], and together we shall chase the darkness from Ul'dah!

Will you swear an oath to mark this occasion?

• DE Wie willst du dich bei uns einbringen? ‘How do you want to contribute with us?’ English asks the player to swear an oath; German asks how the player wants to contribute.

Spoken like a soldier! You'll do well here.

And Ul'dah will have need of them in the days ahead. The knowledge and experience of well-traveled adventurers are valuable assets.

Hah! The Flame General would lead the van in every battle if he could. 'Twouldn't surprise me if you had the chance to fight by his side one day!

I take it you would rather be judged by your deeds. I respect that. We want a woman/man of action, not words.

• DE Die Bewohner der Wüste wissen, wann sie etwas zu sagen haben und wann sie besser schweigen. ‘The people of the desert know when they have something to say and when they had better keep silent.’ English reads the silence as wanting to be judged by deeds; German praises it as the desert people's wisdom of silence.
• JA うむ、荒野に生きる者は、時に沈黙をもって答えるもの。 ‘Hm, those who live in the wilderness sometimes answer with silence.’ English reads the silence as wanting to be judged by deeds; Japanese says wilderness dwellers sometimes answer with silence.

Very well. Your resolve is plain. [name]─I hereby confer upon you the rank of flame private third class. Welcome to the Immortal Flames, Private.

• JA [name]二等闘兵。 ‘[name], second-class fighting private.’ English gives the rank as third class; Japanese calls it "second-class".

May you fight to the last for coin and country.

• FR Puissiez-vous toujours servir notre cause ! ‘May you always serve our cause!’ English closes with the motto "for coin and country"; French only says "our cause".

It seems your presence is required elsewhere.

But before you leave, perhaps you could find a moment to speak with Commander Swift. He is not one to see new recruits go into the field unprepared.

• FR Avant de partir, je pense que vous avez tout intérêt à aller saluer le colonel Ryder. ‘Before leaving, I think you would do well to go and greet Colonel Ryder.’ English names him Commander Swift; French calls him Colonel Ryder.

And so Minfilia welcomes you to the next chapter of your tale...

• FR Ainsi, Minfilia poursuivit sa conversation... ‘Thus, Minfilia continued her conversation...’ English says Minfilia welcomes you to the next chapter of your tale; French says she continued her conversation.

This concludes the main scenario for the Beta Version.

Though your journey has come to an end for now, exciting new experiences yet remain, including a wide range of quests and dungeons.

• FR Outre l'épopée, cette version vous propose également de relever plusieurs défis, comme les donjons instanciés, les opérations de guilde ou encore les ALÉA. ‘Besides the epic, this version also offers you several challenges to take on, such as instanced dungeons, guild operations or the ALÉA.’ English promises quests and dungeons; French lists instanced dungeons, guild operations and ALÉA instead of quests.

We hope you will continue to enjoy FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Beta Version! Thank you for playing!

Welcome back, [name]! Lady Minfilia awaits you within.
