To do: Some stuff: Oddities and Errors Higher model poly count in Yo-kai Watch 1 flashback scene graphics. Komajiro with purse texture sheet oddity Typos in Russian version, put in Translation Errors Gimme's voice clip saying "Swipinstuff" in English version. Even MORE music file oddities and mixups...

More Regional Differences; different unlockable Psychic Specters Yo-kai Watch: The Movie settei art.

Yo-kai Watch 2 was what really started to elevate the franchise to a pop cultural success (well, at least in Japan). It is considered by many to be superior to its predecessor, as it includes better mechanics, an online-trading system and more consistency to the anime and manga series. This game also introduces more Yo-kai to collect (including version-exclusives), new locations, and even some new minigames. Psychic Specters also adds in consistency to the first Yo-kai Watch film, Yo-kai Watch: The Movie.

Regional Differences Japan-only content?! Localization nightmares ensue!

Revisional Differences It's more than just a content update!

Unused Graphics

Cutscene Placeholders

Inside yw2_a.fa/data/menu/ev_pic/ev_pic1210.xa can be found a duplicated of ev_pic0210.xa with a lot of debug graphics on top of it

Minimap Placeholders

Both t121d05 (Corresponding to San Fantastico) and t201i05 (Corresponding to Old Springdale) have placeholder minimaps, these are just a simple flat color with (仮) written on them.

Medals

A medal icon for the Yo-kai Directator. He only appears in a few side quests and cannot be befriended.

Medal icons for the 3 Wicked Yo-kaiː Flicker, Loiter and Schemer, likely intended for the Medallium.

Unused Areas

t121d05

To do: Get a screenshot of the unused train station map.

A small unfinished river area that was likely going to appear somewhere in San Fantastico.

Unused Sounds

tr0058.dspadpcm

To do: Is this in the Japanese and Korean version?

Gargaros warning the player to not change the 3DS' System Clock. While the sequence does appear in the game, no voice clips play. Interestingly, it was translated into every language in the European version.

Oddities

Flashback Image Oddities

To do: Take comparison images in YW1. Also the flashback images are different in Japanese but still have the same poly count...should it still be covered?

The flashback images are slightly different from what actually appears in the previous instalment; many of the models have a higher poly count!
