The archway at the village entrance is a pair of pillars in these screenshots. The pathway tiles are a lighter color compared to the final release.

Ganer is not labeled by name in his dialogue box, instead using "父親" (father). This and other pre-release screenshots show two lines of dialogue at a time compared to the final's three.
