Also known as: Akumajou Dracula: Harmony of Despair (JP)
|
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is like New Super Mario Bros. Wii with whips. Grind all the things!
 | To do: Clean up just about everything. |
Contents
Unused Icons
| To do: Figure out what is and isn't used. |
A complete rip from the core game shows some interesting things.
The only fully unused subweapon icons are "DAMMY" (similar to another unused icon in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) which is presumably a placeholder, and Genbu (Maria's turtle) which is an RB/R1 ability rather than a subweapon in the final game (and hence has no icon). It should be noted, however, that the DLC subweapons have graphics even in the core game.
Quite a bit here. Of note is the Shield Rod (5th row, 3rd from left), a rifle-type gun (5th row, 5th from left), and a bulky pistol (5th row, 9th from left). Same deal with DLC weapons in the core game, too.
Unused Menu Graphics
Old multiplayer graphics
The game accepted 8 simultaneous players at some point
Blood splatter animations
Some unused blood splatter effects, similar to what's displayed in Portrait of Ruin when a new area is entered.
Character cards
Unused character cards, including one for Hammer. All using Shanoa's image as placeholder though.
Unused Sprites
Form of Bat
Alucard's unused bat form has 3 animations.
Unknown sprites for Form of Wolf
This sheet with unused wolf form sprites from the Sega Saturn game is still present. Still unused.
Unused messages for Level Up and HP Max/MP Max/Heart Max upgrades
Sheet with unused text for leveling up and max HP/MP up. Reused sprites from Order of Ecclesia for the most part, the only difference being the "PAUSE" sprite being replaced by "RESIST".
Unused Enemies
The game contains the full sprite data of Order of Ecclesia's Man Eater, stored both among bosses and regular enemies. Neither version is used.
There's also a prototype version of Legion's sprite with a few less animations but identical otherwise.
Unused Voices
| To do: Figure out who uses what Dual Crushes since every list on the Internet is terrible, I only included the ones I know are unused. Check on the other stuff too. Convert everything to OGG and upload. Full voice rip is at serio.piiym.net/leech/HD_ps3_voice.7z |
There are a number of unused voices related to the Dual Crush system. Everyone has character name calls for all characters (including DLC) in the core game except for Fuma. Instead, they call Hammer's name, who was previously screwed out of a starring role in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Everyone also has attack calls for all actual Dual Crush attacks, including ones they can't use (i.e., Yoko calling out "Demonic Megiddo"). There are also (possibly?) unused voices for everyone saying "Time be still!", as well as some completely unused quotes that seem to imply cutscenes.
Playable Characters
In addition to the below, all of these characters have lines where they call Hammer's name for a Dual Crush, and also have two separate lines where they simply say the game's title (one says "Castlevania", the other says "Harmony of Despair"). All characters also have lines where they call Demonic Megiddo (exclusive to SomaxAlucard) and Thousand Blades (exclusive to JonathanxCharlotte).
