Regional Differences#
- B.B.'s mugshot has a silhouette with the texts "It is communicating." and "Reception" in the Japanese version, while other versions have a ;-) smiley with the texts "Profile Not Found" and "FIREWALLED".
- The "StrateLogicSecurity" (miswritten as "SteratLogicSecurity" in the room from the first boss) text from the SLS logo was removed from textures outside Japan, as StrateLogic was renamed as SaintLogic in other versions.
Version-Exclusive Cards#
Japan#
