Official names from Camelot used where possible.

European Version

US	Europe

The European version of the game introduces an odd bug with the Catacombs cutscene. For some reason the line "That was not my doing... However, one who has not given his soul to the Dark Force, cannot touch, let alone destroy the Staff." was repeated twice in the script, causing the cutscene to become out of sync.

Sega Logo

Japanese	English

For some inexplicable reason, they decided the rest of the world needed to see the Sega Logo with double the framerate. They also changed the TM to an R while they were at it. No other Movie file was changed.

Ending

To do: Redo the text section. Add Japanese text. There is evidence that the rewrites were intended to be more extensive than they were, as the Elbesem Statue enemy was altered to add an instakill weakness to the Elbesem Orb, though it was disabled in the final product.

The final cutscene has been changed for the US and European regions, adding extra lines and rewriting the script in such a way that it removes all reference to the events of Scenario 2. Now instead of Governor General Garvin blowing the gates of Aspia open for Domaric and a coerced Medion to invade the Castle, it is stated that Domaric found a secret passage to invade the castle, so that he may thank you for getting rid of Arrawnt. Worth noting is the fan translation, while more accurate, also adds a few extra touches, such as shaken text for one of Fynnding's lines.

Despite the rewrite, these changes do not extend to other parts of the game, such as the synchronicity points, and save files from US and European discs will still work fine on Scenarios 2, 3, and the Premium Disc.

	Duke Palsis: It appears Emperor Domaric's siege of the inner wall has begun.	Duke Palsis: The Empire is still camped out outside of the inner wall.
	Lord Tristus: There should be no need to worry. Since ancient times, no force has ever breached the inner wall. That wall is responsible for our independence.	Lord Tristus: There should be no need to worry. Since the time of the ancients, no force has ever broken through the inner wall.
	Duke Palsis: What could they be Planning...? They wouldn't attempt a siege if they didn't believe they could breach the wall.	Duke Palsis: I wonder what they are planning? Why would they remain outside there if they know they cannot breach the wall?

	King Benetram: Now is not the time for bloodshed between Aspinia and Destonia...	King Benetram: The secret passageway... Domaric, this is no time to be fighting amongst ourselves...
	Emperor Domaric... Surely you know... There will be no Aspinia or Destonia if Vandals gain control of this world.	We all by now should be aware of what will happen if the Bulzome Cult has their way.
	Yet your conquest continues...	If the Vandals return to power, the Republic and the Empire are doomed. Will you still continue your conquest?
	Dantares: What are you doing here!?	Dantares: What are you doing here!?!
	Campbell: Dantares... We meet again...	Campbell: Dantares... We meet again...
[Player]: .......	[Player]: .......	[Player]: .......
	[Player 2]: It saddens me to meet you again under these circumstances, Lord [Player]. However, fate has brought us together...	[Player 2]: It is awkward for me to see you again like this, [Player]. However, fate has thrown us together.

[Player]: .......	[Player]: .......	[Player]: .......
	Grantack: Lord [Player], that's not true. This is absolutely unavoidable.	Grantack: It seems we were unaware of the extremes Prince Arrawnt would adapt to attempt to get the throne...
	Fiderit: You... I saw you in Saraband. Yes, you must be [Player].	Fiderit: Nonetheless, we have many things to repay you for from the past!
N/A	N/A	The most recent of which is the murder of Prince Arrawnt!

	[Player 2]It's too late, Lord [Player]. We would not be in this situation if my brother Arrawnt hadn't fallen to you in battle.	[Player 2]: You're right, [Player], my brother's actions were clearly influenced by the Bulzome monks. If not for you maybe
N/A	N/A	his evil plans would have come to fruition. For that, we will not take advantage of your current situation.
	Emperor Domaric: AHAHAHAH!	Emperor Domaric: To honor the wishes of my son, [Player 2], I will allow you Republican scum to live, for now....
N/A	N/A	But now that my debt to you is repaid, next time we meet I will not be as civil.
	King Benetram: This is all your doing, Emperor Domaric. You are as terrifying as ever...	King: Benetram: Domaric, you must listen to reason! If Bulzome is revived and the Vandals
N/A	N/A	take over, there won't be any Empire or Republic to fight over!
N/A	N/A	Fiderit: Our armies are more than a match fot that strange sect of zealots.
N/A	N/A	You should be grateful that the Emperor is allowing you to live right now!
	Emperor Domaric: Benetram, all your knowledge and wisdom can't help you now.	Emperor Domaric:Although I leave you now untouched, I will return and will reclaim Aspinia in the name of the Empire!

	The [Player] army's victory was short lived as Emperor Domaric himself invaded Aspia Castle	It seemed the victory of [Player] was short lived as the Emperor himself invaded Aspinia Castle. However, the
	[Player] was shocked to find Prince [Player 2] leading the invasion.	Emperor, at the insistance of Prince [Player 2], has left Aspia alone to recover from the terrible battle with the colossus, vowing to return one day.
	Despite the friendship Lord [Player] and Prince [Player 2] had cultivated, they now faced each other as enemies.	Benetram knows the Bulzome Monks will not go away and will have to be dealt with, but for now the Republic rests in the peace
	With Emperor Domaric pulling the strings, battle appears inevitable...	earned by [Player] and his army.
