Prerelease	Final

The copyright info was originally laid out in a more haphazard way. The final game centers all the text.

The prerelease footage uses white square quotes to emphasize important words. In the final game these were changed to blue angle quotes and some of the words were made yellow, most likely to help them stand out.

All the Mini-Crawlers in the opening coast area were originally full sized Side-Crawlers.

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: The dialogue does not match in the screenshots due to the prerelease scene taking place later in the game. While the bullet points below have been confirmed by video footage, if anyone can play the Japanese version far enough to get specific comparisons, it would be appreciated.

• During the Eleanora's Realm section of the trailer, a debug mode display can be seen in the HUD.
• The flowers in the foreground were originally roses. This was changed in the final to poppies.
• Eleanora has a slightly different sprite, with a visible mouth in both her default and spellcasting pose.
• Eleanora uses her default pose during the dialogue in this scene. In the final, she prays during it instead.
