Character Portraits#

(FACE.BIN) Unused	(FACEB.BIN) Unused	(FACEB.BIN) Used

The FACE.BIN archive contains a full portrait set from the PSX port, but with additional ones! What is strange is that it uses fan art for new characters added to the 3DS port. The original artwork can be found here under the 葛葉ライドウ section. It's the third bullet point down, and fourth one from the left.

Inside of Dfe_all_02.tga is a battle icon for Hitomi, who cannot enter battle at all.

Version Differences#

• The International version allows Play Coins to be used to evolve Nemechi, as opposed to relying solely on StreetPass. The Japanese version added this in a patch that was released on August 7, 2013.
• The NPCs on the world map are voiced in the Japanese version. The International version cuts the voices in the English dub due to a lack of variety in the original NPC voices.
