This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Evolution Worlds combines Sting's Dreamcast RPG Evolution: The World of Sacred Device with its sequel Evolution 2: Far Off Promise to create two games in one... in theory, at least.

To do:
Just about everything; Add in the rest of the dialogue, move it all to an audio subpage, investigate remnants of World of Sacred Device's dungeon music, put the English and Japanese title screens under Regional Differences...

Unused Graphics

taiken.tpl

It contains a message reading "E3 Demo - Work in Progress". This would have been used in an E3 demo build of the game.

gameover.tpl

Along with the actual game over screen in the game, it also contains this message reading "Coming to stores Summer of 2002".

Unused Audio

A lot of audio goes unused, primarily in the first half. Interestingly, it seems like more of the first game was going to be retained at one point in development.

Note that most of these closely match the dialogue of the Dreamcast version.

Imperial Soldiers

Worlds skips the Pannam Port and most of the Kronprinz, cutting straight to Eugene's throne room. Likewise, the final assault on the Kronprinz cuts all but four of the soldiers' dialogue. As a result, all of these go unused.

As the game gives every NPC voiced dialogue, a number of these have similar wording but are different takes. The soldiers are referred to by their audio file names unless otherwise noted.

V-Formation

The V-Formation consists of three soldiers: IC1, IC2, and IC3.

	"V-Formation! Hustle!"
	"I can't believe the V-Formation has been defeated."
	"If we can't win with this strategy..."
	"Don't think you've won yet."

	"I bet you're that adventurer that was a guest on-board, aren't you?"
	"Sorry. Don't mean to offend. I had heard that anybody of any age could use a cyframe, but..."
	"I guess what they say about the town of ruins is true. You may look like a child, but I bet you're very tough."
	"I had heard that anybody of any age can use a cyframe, but I guess what they say about the town of ruins is true."
	"Did you accomplish your mission here Mr. Mag Launcher?"
	"In our country, just to have an audience with a member of the imperial family is an honor. You are lucky."
	"You are lucky. In our country, it is an honor just to have an audience with a member of the imperial family."
	"Must protect prince..."

	"I wanna know who was the one who started the rumor that we'd get lots of live target practice in on this mission."
	"I don't know if it's international law, but the Crown Prince's war-er, research vessel's gear is going to waste!"
	"Oh. Are you the guests? Go through this gate and then follow the corridor all the way down."
	"Go through this gate then follow the corridor all the way down. Don't get lost. There's soldiers everywhere."
	"Huh? Are you guests leaving already? I probably shouldn't complain to ya, but we're already really busy."
	"Being pulled away from oiling the engine to take care of a guest. Really."
	"You have to take good care of machinery or else it'll break on ya. I'm glad about going home early, though."
	"I probably shouldn't complain to ya, but we're already really busy. Sure glad we're returning home."
	"The glorious imperial soldiers, defeated by this kid..."

	"Oh, wait. This is the way to the food hold. The steps to the command room are on the other side."
	"This way to the food hold. Steps to the command room are on the other side."
	"Hang on, did we go the wrong way? This is the way to the food hold. To go back, we need to take that other path."
	"What's going on? This is the way to the food hold. To get back, we need to take the other path."
	"We were a poor family and I was the youngest of six kids, so the only thing for me was the military."
	"But I never thought I'd serve under the crown prince. I mean, we're under the direct command of the prince himself."
	"When I get home, I'll take the promotion exam and be set for life. I am so glad I joined the military."
	"Wait, this is way to the food hold. The steps to the command room are on the other side."
	"I am so lucky to be under the prince's direct command. All I have to do is go home and take the promotion exam."
	"But if he notices us in battle, we won't even have to bother with some exam. We'll be picked up right from the lines."
	"What's going on? This is the way to the food hold. To get back, we need to take the other path."
	"Must bring Evolutia back... Prince..."

	"Could that be the girl? Oh I see! Of course!"
	"I should have expected as much from the Launcher Family. He looks young, but he sure knows how to handle himself."
	"Yup, I should have expected as much from the Launcher Family. He looks young, but he sure knows how to handle himself."
	"And the girl..."
	"I wonder how they let such a beautiful girl meet the prince, and come away unaffected."
	"I should have expected as much from the Launcher Family. He looks young, but he certainly knows how to handle himself."

	"Isn't your father with you? Just because you're a guest's kid doesn't mean you can wander around wherever you like. Go back now."
	"What? You shouldn't tell fibs to adults. Now, go back to your father and don't bother anybody else."
	"Isn't your father with you? Even though you're a guest's kid you can't just wander wherever you like. Go back now."
	"Don't you know you can't wander around here?"
	"Even the children of guests must obey the rules. Now hurry up and go back to your family."
