“Loveless”介绍及其与爱丽丝之间的关系

如果对剧情的细节记得不太清楚的话,看了标题可能会有疑问,往下看就知道是怎么回事了。

记得Loveless这个名字吗?它在游戏中出现过2次,第一次是在游戏开头的动画中,Aeris从Midgar的小巷中走出,大街上的海报写着Loveless……

这个LOVELESS是什么东西?如果注意海报左边被挡住一半的字(图截得不太好,其实还可以看到上面一点),可以看到写到大约是“..oody”和“..tine”,这是什么呢?

大多数人可能对这个不太熟悉,但是喜欢西方音乐的人大概会记得这个乐队的名字:“My Bloody Valentine”,他们在1991年11月发行过一盘专集,专集的名称叫什么?……“Loveless”!从图中的字母推断,左边的字很可能就是My Bloody Valentine(具体介绍见后面附录)。真实的乐队出现在游戏中,这是巧合吗?



第二次在最后的剧情即将进入大空洞前,回到飞空艇上和Cid交谈,会有以下的对话:

Cid: you ever see the play “LOVELESS”?
Cid: 你看过“LOVELESS”这个演出吗?

这时回答“YES”

然后Cid会说一大段话:

Yeah? Really? Well, that’s fine.
是吗?真的?那好吧。
They’ve been doin’ that play every summer since I was a kid.
从我还是小孩子的时候,他们就每个夏天都演出。
An’ I remember seein’ it just once.
我记得我只看过一次。
That was when I was in Midgar training to be a pilot.
那是我在魔光都市接受飞行员训练的时候。
I had some free and thought I’d catch the play.
我有点空闲时间所以决定去看那个演出。
Now, I’m no big fan of theater or anything.
我并不很喜欢去剧院或者什么的。
But this thing put me to sleep, just like I thought it would.
但是我在那里睡着了,就跟我预料的一样。
Finally during the last scene, the guy next to me woke me up tellin’ me my snorin’ was too loud.
最后,演出到了最后一幕的时候,坐我旁边的人把我叫醒,告诉我我的鼾声太大了。
So about all I really remember of that play is the end.
所以我唯一记得的是结尾。
When the sister of the lead asks her lover, “do you really have to leave?”
那个带头的女孩问她的爱人:“你真的必须离开吗?”
And the guy says, “I made a promise, the people I love are waiting…I don’t understand. Not at all, but, take care of yourself. Of course, I’ll come back to you. Even if you don’t promise to wait, I’ll return knowing you’ll be here.”
然后那个男孩说:“我许下了承诺,爱我的人在等待着我……我不太明白,一点也不。但是,你自己保重。当然,我会回到你身边的。哪怕你没有承诺,我也会回来,因为我知道你会在那儿。”
I remember thinking when I heard those lines.
我记得当我听到这些台词时,我陷入了思考。
What the hell’s he talkin’ about? But, you know…now I’m not so sure… I think I understand.
他说的是什么乱七八糟的?但是……现在……我不太确定,可是我想我明白了。


看出点什么吗?仔细看那句台词:
I made a promise, the people I love are waiting…I don’t understand. Not at all, but, take care of yourself. Of course, I’ll come back to you. Even if you don’t promise to wait, I’ll return knowing you’ll be here.
看着眼熟吗?想想游戏中曾经反复出现过的关于“回来”的剧情:

(1)在古代种神殿倒塌后,Cloud在沉睡之森看到的Aeris的情景
Aeris: "...Then, I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over."
Aeris:“……那么我现在要走了,等这一切都结束后,我会回来的。”


(2)Cloud和Bugenhagen一起坐飞空艇去忘却之都时,Cloud和Tifa在飞船里的对话
Tifa: "I wonder what Aeris felt... when she was on that altar...?"
Tifa:“我怀疑Aeris是怎么想的……当她在那个祭坛上的时候?”

Cloud: "I'm sure she wanted to give her life for the planet..."
Cloud:“我想一定是她想把自己的生命献给这个星球……”

Tifa: "Really? I wonder? I don't think that's it at all. I think she didn't think she would die at all, but that she planned on coming back all along. She always talked about the 'Next time'. She talked about the future more than any of us."
Tifa:“真的吗?我怀疑……我一点也不认为是这样。我想,她从不认为她会死的,相反地,她是一直想要回来的。她总是谈到关于“下次”,对未来,她比我们任何一个人谈论得都多。”

觉得有点关系吗?可是又说不清是怎样的联系……无论如何,FF7的剧情充满了神秘和费解,或许这些只是个巧合,也或许是Square设下的一个迷魂阵而已吧……
