Name change

Script

  • A lot of dialogue where ommited or trimmed down, some gameplay hints and details were affected in the process.
  • The grammar quality and spelling mistakes is a recurring issue, along with some unnatural word choices.

Censorship

Due to Nintendo of America's policies on religious imagery, a couple tiles and dialogue were altered for release outside Japan.

  • The Star of David was replaced with an eight-sided star (which, ironically, is also a religious symbol).
  • The coffins in Kett's basement had their crosses removed and replaced with a "V".
  • Sumo and Amanda were looking for Medusa's blood in the uncensored version in order to lift the curse Davias casted on her brother Lester. In the International release it is her tears.
