Other Differences#

• The game was made easier for the release outside of Japan. For example, Aleste's yellow homing orbs became much stronger and the steady increase in rank was toned down. The Japanese version had plenty of character dialogue stored as Red Book audio tracks on the disc, but many of these tracks ended up being unused. The respective dialogues simply appeared as text.
• After beating the game, an Omake option will be unlocked in the option menu. In the Japanese version, there will be several images, but in the western versions, it just freezes the game.
  

Unused Dialogue#

'...But what does it mean?' This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation! Notes: Translation of the Japanese dialogue from Dennin Aleste.

As stated above, the Japanese version features extra dialogue on the Red Book audio that was meant to be played during the cutscenes in each stage, but ultimately went unused for whatever reason.

However, the voices available on the CD audio only represent a fraction of the dialogue that displays in-game, while most lines do not have voices available.
