Protagonist#

Hayato's hair color was changed in the western and Korean versions. He wears the garb of a Hwarang in the Korean version and is renamed "Ung".

As a result of this change in hair color, numerous enemies had their palettes altered, replacing the intended browns and oranges with blacks and grays, which may result in loss of detail.
