What language do they speak in this? It seems to shift between some fictional language and Japanese at different times.
Is this present in the earlier games in the series too?
Made up language based off Latin and Japanese
I believe all the games use the same one

I believe it was Latin, Russian, and maybe Japanese.
In Saga, they sometimes use the "Panzerese" language, but most of the time it seems like they just said 'this is too fucking hard' and used Japanese.

DOOPA DOO-PAH!

Intro and Outro uses a made up language.
Everything else is normal japanese.

Tried playing this game but the emulator didn't want to load the 2nd disc. Wiped my save file accidentally when I tried to fix it.
I should start over sometime

SSF? That's strange behaviour...
The 4th disc was so shitty in this game, everything goes to shit, especially the story and gameplay.
It probably has one of the most anti climatic final boss fights in RPGs, don't know what were they thinking. A shitty bullet sponge enemy that you just need to shoot for 10 minutes, barely attacks you and has some wind and random sounds playing in the background as music.

i really wanna play this. SSF on PC the only viable emulation option?

Nah, it's actually possible to play it on Sega Saturn.
Worked for me without a problem.

reading is hard
The opening scene (leading up to the point where Edge is shot) to the ending scene (after the final boss) is entirely spoken in Japanese. Had there been more of a budget behind it, the game would have had voiced English for the NA/PAL release. Panzerese is heard in the opening and endings of the game, and is a fictional language that consists of Ancient Greek, Latin, Russian, and Japanese. The iconic Sona Mi Areru Ec Sancitu is sang in Panzerese, as is PD Orta's Anu Orta Veniya.
The shift in language happens for one reason, the game explicitly involves the player in the action, asking for his name and recognizing their existence at the very end because that is a central theme to the game - it's a biblical story of the father (heretic dragon), the son (edge) and the holy spirit (the player.) Which is why after Edge is shot you get all the bizarre imagery and are asked for your name. This is part of the ending of the game which recontextualizes every action as an action in which the three of you, Edge, the dragon and yourself are acting. You guide Edge along the way in every way, and his actions are essentially mere coincidence, which is why the game has so much to do with faith, holiness, and spirituality.
After you enter the game, everything is spoken in a language the player understands (Japanese audio) and once your spirit leaves, you finish the game, everything returns to Panzerese. Panzerese is present in the first two, and the fourth game throughout.

Ah, sorry. Emulate it on your Dreamcast then.
