Unused stuff

Can someone check those? --Metalman (talk) 18:45, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

Early art

As mentioned in the wiki page, the game has a HUGE amount of early versions from most battle sprites and scenes in the file BTL_DBG.BIN. Here are more samples. I didn't check all sprites, but except for the Xenosaga portraits, I believe nothing was cut and they were completed. Should all of them be included? --Metalman (talk) 18:45, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

Item images

There are three dialogue images that resemble the Green, Blue, and Red Crystal Rods from The Tower of Druaga, but I didn't saw them anywhere in the game. Are they unused? The Blue Crystal Rod is Ki's weapon and is mentioned in a the descriptions of Druaga and the 3 dragons (Quox and his 2 pallete swaps), but when searching for them in dialogues (from the fan English translation) it is mentioned only once in Chapter 30 if Valkyrie is in the battle, but the image isn't used in this event. Same with the curry (Bistro Curry? Not to confuse with the Mabo Curry that is used) and dices (different from the ones used, and this is not from the mini-game) images. --Metalman (talk) 18:45, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

Characters

When looking for the rod items in the English script, I noticed a character list with two enemies not present in the game, including battle and overworld sprites. I took a look around the web for info, and a Japanese site has info to modify units (with save data?). The unused enemies are:

  • 3 Fygar varieties (ファイガー, "Fygar the Great", and "King Fygar") from Dig Dug and Mr. Driller series (47, 48, 49)
  • Two Honorians (ホノーリアン, presumably 1 red and 1 blue) from the Valkyrie series (6B, 6C)
  • 3 Wooky varieties (ウーキー and 2 varieties called "Wooky L" and "Wooky R", their description saying to have Laser and Rocket launcher. Those 2 may be his recolors Eddy and Dick) from Captain Commando (A4, A5, A6)
  • Bei Pooh and Sai Pooh (北風, 西風), Ton Pooh's sisters from the Strider series (B1, B2)
  • Ice Horokko (アイスホロッコ) from Mega Man Legends 2 (D6)
  • Another Velociraptor (presumably the blue recolor, as it has an unused portrait) (E0)
  • The ghost character Monmotaro (もんもたろー) from Shadow Land has its name in both the fan-translation script and the Japanese site above (0A 01), and it has overworld sprites and dialogue portraits, but in the game Monmotaro only appears in Tarosuke's attacks.
  • And I wonder who/what is present in Doppel (AA 00) and ??? (4A 01). Doppel is a boss from Captain Commando that appears several times in this game, but only transformed, not appearing in his true form (which may be the case here).

Misc.

Looking more into the English script, it has 5 epilogues and 47 chapters, showing that the original Chapters 44 and 45 were cut. What is their original Japanese name? Judging by their (poor) translations I think they are related to the Druaga and Valkyrie events from Chapter 43.--Metalman (talk) 18:45, 24 April 2014 (EDT)
