Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road

This page details one or more prototype versions of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.

Version Differences

Unused Code#

A .lua script file called "vs_route_town_menu_0.04.11.lua" can be found in the files of the demo. Since the mode referenced in the file name isn't accessible, this file goes unused.

A piece of code in script file "title_main_0.08.63.lua" points to the Yo-kai Watch 4 intro being loaded, likely a leftover from that game.

Unused Models#

Unused Character Models#

To do: If the models DO get updated in a possible later demo version or the final game, include the earlier ones here.

Every single character from previous Inazuma Eleven games has their original model present in the game files, likely to facilitate the training and porting of these models into higher quality versions using AI technology¹.

In the game files, there exists an unused model for possibly Zanark Avalonic. However, he is present as a playable character in the demo but given Fei Rune's appearance in Chronicle Mode it could be an adult Zanark.

There is also Wonderbot's body with a ribbon attached and a button in its chest, this was later revealed to be a new character named Misty.

Some unused remastered models include:

Unused clothing#

To do: Has the South Cirrus tracksuit model been changed prior to v1.1.4? If not, remove it from the page.

Unused Graphics#

Unused Reflection Graphic#

Unused Chronicle Mode UI#

Despite not being available in the demo, the developers left some constellations and UI elements in the game's files.

Constellations#

IE 1 Raimon Map#

UI#

2023 TGS Demo leftovers

Character icons#

In the game's files, there are A LOT of spritesheets related to previous Inazuma Eleven characters.

Waiwai Gakuen Seikatsu leftover UI#

Unused characters#

In Update v1.1, characters from South Cirrus were added, surprisingly, Raika Shinohara and Kameo Kodokai are the only characters who don't have translated names.

(In Version 1.1.4, it was confirmed that Raika's overseas name would be the same as her Japanese one.) (On September 24th 2024, it was confirmed that Kameo Kodokai's overseas name would be Cade Shelby.)

Strangely, their spirits don't appear in the Team Editor when obtained. Their names, nicknames, faceplates and descriptions aren't yet localized and they return a empty string "", however, when playing in Japanese, their names DO appear.

Stats#

File:IEVR Harper.png|Harper Evans is also present in the game's files. File:IEVR Regina.png|Regina Mulgrave from Inazuma Eleven Ares.

Unused Text#

Team Names#

There are at least 134 new and returning team names that go unused during the first half², examples include:

Unused Descriptions#

Yo-kai Watch Leftovers#

To do: Is there any text in the medal_text.cfg.bin file?

In the game files, there's a file called activate_momo_travel.cfg.bin, including the name of the Yo-kai Gakuen Y character. There is no text contained in this file despite being in the "text" folder of the game.

There is also a file called "medal_text.cfg.bin", which may originate from Yo-kai Gakuen Y, Yo-kai Watch 4 or from Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch.

The English, Spanish, German, Italian, French text folders share the aforementioned "medal_text.cfg.bin" file, and "event", "map" and "purpose" folders.

Translation Errors#

To do: Elaborate this better. Also, get text entries and contextual meanings for the sake of organization and explanation.

Some translations seem to be made with Google Translate³, and some phrases have weird translations.

Some of the translations would be fixed in later patches.

Spanish#

"s004_npc_text.cfg.bin":

"w01_npc_text.cfg.bin":

French#

There are also some inconsistency and spelling errors in the French translation of the game. Examples include:

• A misspelling error in the word "imaginaires", where is misspelled "omaginaires".⁴⁵
• The game generally calling Team Passives "Passifs de l'équipe" except when a new one is unlocked: "Passants d'équipe".⁶
• The game "publishing" ("publiés") new Team Passives instead of unlocking them ("révéler" or "débloqué").

Unused Development Material#

The file "app_config_0.07_55.99.cfg.bin" includes some strings, probably for plugins, and platforms. These include:

RT_Live2D
RT_Live2D_RT
PS4
PS5
DX11
MOB
NX
CAMERA_CTRL_SHECK

• Live2D was used for the character portrait models in Waiwai Gakuen Seikatsu.
