Proto:Genshin Impact/CBT1/Text Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Genshin Impact/CBT1.

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.

To do: Look through CBT1 Text assets, they may contain more text than documented in the footage or text that was cut off from said footage.

Quite a handful of altered text exists within CBT1. Most of it is, however, just rewording or minor changes.
