Differences to original japanese release?

I based the article entirely around the 2015 release of the game. Originally game was released in japan 2004 - 11 years ago - so I'm assuming they have updated at least something and for some reason this release doesn't feature japanese language at all, only english. Localized PSP title game after that so it could be possible they are using stuff from that version.

Because of these reasons I can't just assume that game is being identical to something released so long ago. If someone knows something about original release, feel free to input. If it's almost identical to original release, it should be easy to fix the article match that.

It's an updated version of the original PC version but with backported PSP content from what I understand. Tracking down a Japanese copy is hard to do. You'd have to get lucky and find a physical copy or pirate it. (Good luck, unlikely since it's so old and obscure)

So because original release is so hard to aquire and because this version is the one that's being sold and used, I would go with keeping this article for sold version of the game and making seperate article for original game if necessary?

Yes, I think that is a wise choice. Because usually Falcom releases patches for their games on their website or via an updated retail version of the game. So it would be different just from that point alone. (Not to mention I think the original game came out in 2004, so I don't know if they ever made newer retail versions updated for different OSs for it like they did for newer games.)

Edit: On Falcom's website, it looks like the last patch for the original game was in 2005 http://www.falcom.co.jp/gurumin/support/patch.html


I'm not going to lie, I looked for ISO's online of the original release to test for differences but was unable to find one, or a seeded torrent.

It's unavailable to mail order from Falcom anymore too, so that is out the window short of finding a 2nd hand copy.

I know I'm 8 years late but I found an ISO on archive and I played a level. It crashes a lot but I didn't see much of a difference if any. My save files from Steam even worked.
