Partially Unused Font#

The small font used for the HUD has lower-case letters, which see no use in the actual game.

The western versions of the game have a few different types of changes:

  • Cosmetic changes (some of which make the game more difficult).
  • Gameplay changes (some of which make the game easier).
  • Cultural differences.
