Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (Nintendo DS)

To do: Handful of future edits on the docket: Prerelease screenshots. Regional differences (There was an entire chapter that was removed from the international versions at the last minute, so this segment will take up quite a bit of room, ultimately). Unused music related to the aforementioned cut chapter in the international versions. Unused graphics There's a whole dummied-out cutscene in the Japanese version. Unused lines are in the above filedump. Some correspond to the original PS1 version, some may be leftovers from the mobile port.

The DS version of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a port of the PS1 game of the same name, though it's based primarily off of an earlier mobile version. This release features a revised battle engine (closer to the one found in the sequels) and, more importantly, an entire post-game portion that elaborates on the backstory of one of the main characters...though this was left out of every English-language version. Oops!

Unused Text#

Unused Graphics#

10 separate (and individually-numbered) copies of an early Kururu portrait exist in the data, likely as a placeholder. It's worth noting that this is a very early version of her PS1 portrait!

A set of penguin sprites that go completely unused. Interestingly, the third game in the series, Tenshi no Present, does have a penguin character, but it uses a different sprite than what is shown here.

There are also unused graphics for the Monster Master, a character from the PS1 original whom you could sell monsters to - this feature was completely excised from the DS version, so he was also ultimately cut from this port.
