Unused Music

Left in the sound files in the localized versions of the game is the theme song that was used for the opening movie from the Japanese version (see Regional Differences below). It should also be noted that a version of "Carry On Everyday" that was twice as long as the game version was released as a single in Japan.

Regional Differences

When Activision localized the game for North America and Europe, some changes were made.

General Differences

• An Easy difficulty option was added to the localized versions.
• The options menu was made accessible from the title screen.
• The Load Game menu at the title screen for the Japanese version had some voiced narration added to the commands that was removed in the international versions.
• In the Japanese version, while opening the menu during gameplay, the background music continues, albeit a lower volume. In the international versions, the music pauses.
• The Japanese version has four different fonts for the text boxes.
• The Japanese version has subtitles for the cutscenes. The removal of the subtitles in the international versions caused the letterboxing to be evenly reframed.

Opening Movie

The opening movie in the Japanese version was a real-time rendered intro featuring the game's characters set to a J-Pop song by Saeko Chiba called "Carry On Everyday". The localized versions change the opening movie to an FMV with a narrator that sets up the storyline using some scenes from the game as well as a couple of scenes from the original Japanese opening movie.
