These are unused animation frames of the device on the Gesellschaft's Deck. The GIF above exhibits how the animation was to suppose to have looked in the game.

Unused Backgrounds#

Unused Menus#

The large panel is for the unused area "Front of Shower Room", which also has a small panel for the room selection. "Weapon", "Armor", "Tank" and "Bottle" were possibly meant for the Lab.

Except for the "HQ", all unused Japanese icons were untranslated, and the large "Front of the Shower Room" panel is blank. The panels from the PocketStation feature, which was removed outside Japan, were translated.

Unused Sprites#

Unused Textures#

	Unused Servbot faces. They appear to be based on the anime characters Kinnikuman, Kenshiro, and the robot Odate-Buta from Yatterman.

Misc#

	An image from the Mission 6 description, at night.

	Early Mission Start and Mission Clear texts?

	Unused expressions from the HUD of stages. These faces are supposed to be used when the player takes minor damage from weak attacks that barely make the Gustaff move, such as bullets and small rocks, but the enemies that appear when playing as Teisel and the Servbot don't use these type of attacks. This image of Teisel's face is actually used when he is hit by the bullets from the first boss (which is used only once when he flies after losing half of his energy), but an error makes it appear in the wrong position.

	Unused objects from the scene where Servbots steal a house. Two money bags, two food plates, and details from the freezer and basket. The basket detail is supposed to be used when one of the Servbots takes an apple from the basket, as the apple is still present in the basket after it takes it.

	Two unused Servbot heads, one with glasses (for Servbots #30 and #37) and another that seems dizzy.

	A thinking balloon with food. A similar balloon was shown above Servbots in early versions of the game.

Unused Items#

Although the item menu has space for 126 items, the game actually contains 127 items, with the player being able to obtain only 97 of them. The remaining 30 items are unused.

'...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: Items "0059" and "005B"

Of the 97 available items, 13 are used automatically when obtained, so they can't be seen in the menu. None of them have descriptions.

Two of the remaining 84 items are exclusive to the Japanese version, as they are used to unlock mini-games for the PocketStation, an accessory that was never released overseas.

Unused Servbot Skills#

There are three unused Servbot skills in the game: 料理 (Cooking), 操舵 (Steering) and 見張り (Lookout). They were probably going to be used for Servbots #21, #11 and #24, respectively.

Regional Differences#

PocketStation#

Although the PocketStation features were removed outside Japan, the PocketStation menu available in the Gesellschaft's HQ is still present and was translated, suggesting it was initially planned to be available. The GameShark code 800F241E 0002 makes the menu available (note that using its functions may cause loss of saved game data, so avoid using it with Memory Cards and PocketStations).

Items and Servbot #38#

As mentioned above, the items Beauty Book and Cannon were removed outside Japan as they are related to the PocketStation feature. Those items can be given to Servbot #38, who says something about them and unlocks a minigame. The items can be obtained with cheats outside Japan, and their descriptions were translated. When giving them to #38, his dialogue happens normally, but the dialogue boxes are blank.

Beauty Book dialogue:

Cannon dialogue:

Servbot #40#

In Japan, the "Design Magazine" given to Servbot #40 is an "Adult Magazine", and his skill "Design" is "H". Although the magazine's name was changed, the original sprite was kept. After gaining his skill, #40 will be jumping in Tron's bed, his original dialogue suggesting he is a pervert that is sniffing Tron's odor in her bed, while overseas he appears to be just having fun and thinks the Gesellschaft's colors are bland. Another change he had is that he gives the item Beauty Book in the Japanese version, but again, it is related to the PocketStation and was removed overseas.

Servbot #41#

In Japan, a special save containing Servbot #41 could be obtained from a promotion of the magazine Dengeki Playstation. There is no other way to obtain this Servbot besides cheats, and no promotion was made outside Japan. GameShark code 8009AF0C 0001 unlocks him in the North American version. PAL version code 8009B00C 0001. #41 can be used normally outside Japan and all his quotes were translated.

Credits#

Watch on YouTubeThe Japanese ending credits has three additional pictures that were removed in overseas versions. Also, the ending theme "love letter" was replaced with a different track.
