Whether the other -five languages drop the same ids is untested. +### ❌ CORRECTED — most of those 268 are not cut, they are undubbed + +The paragraph above reads the scattered runs as "cut dialogue". Checking the +other languages refutes that for most of them. + +**Only two voice languages exist.** `tables.pak` holds `eng\sounds.tbl` (4418 +banks) and `jpn\sounds.tbl` (5136) and **no `fra` / `deu` / `esp` / `ita`** — the +other four localisations are subtitle-only. + +And the English set is a strict **subset** of the Japanese one: + +| | eng | jpn | +|---|---|---| +| banks listed | 4418 | **5136** | +| tokens resolved | 4175 | **4383** | +| tokens missing | **268** | **60** | +| banks the other language lacks | **0** | 718 | + +Every id missing in Japanese is *also* missing in English; **none** is missing in +Japanese but present in English. So the 268 split cleanly: + +* **208 exist in Japanese and not in English** — recorded in the original, never + dubbed. A localisation gap, not cut content. +* **60 are absent from both** — genuinely cut. That includes all **44 + `VOICE_E_`**, which is listed 0 times in *either* language, plus 16 others. + +Per family, English against Japanese: `VOICE_A_` 683/771, `VOICE_B_` 383/423, +`VOICE_C_` 366/474, `VOICE_D_` 387/546. The 718 Japanese-only banks also include +whole families English never had — `VOICE_ADAN_` (110), `VOICE_ZZZZ_` (104), +`VOICE_TCAF_` (41), `VOICE_RHIN_` (27). + +So `VOICE_E_` remains the one genuinely-cut family, and the "short runs of cut +dialogue" reading was wrong: those lines are on the disc, in Japanese.
