The archway at the village entrance is a pair of pillars in these screenshots. The pathway tiles are a lighter color compared to the final release.

The Dragon's Tear seems to have generally defaulted to a teal color in these screenshots, whereas it typically defaults to orange when talking to the Gate NPCs in the final game.

Pre-release	Final

Ganer is not labeled by name in his dialogue box, instead using "父親" (father). This and other pre-release screenshots show two lines of dialogue at a time compared to the final's three.

The dragon guarding Gate is drawn from a different angle, and the doors in the mountain are much larger.

Pre-release	Final

The rain cutscene seems to have triggered by walking slightly further than in the final version.

Pre-release	Final

The area Barubary is hanging out in at the start of the game is different. Most noticeably, the stalagmite on the right side is missing in the final.
