Differences
What the remaster changed
Updated 2026-10-18
I treated Dengeki's Japanese difference list as the checklist and then marked what reviewers added after they played. 'Vioce skits' in a search box is this page: the new English voices on the skits.
Added
- Objective markers you can turn off: main path, key items, timed events, and a blue mark when a new arte is ready. Distance included.
- Boost for experience, gald, and damage, plus encounter rate and a death-penalty toggle.
- Battle retry after a wipe, and a one-button full-party heal.
- Autosave, skip and pause for scenes, skits, and movies, and subtitles on skits, movies, and victory lines.
- Skit player with 350 or more skits, opened fully on a second playthrough. Sound player, tips, button remap, brightness, color assistance.
- Graphics mode and sound-effect mode, each with a Remastered and an Original setting. Voice toggle, English or Japanese.
- Grade Shop from the start. Nereid's Labyrinth opens once you reach the inside of Shizel Castle on a first play.
- Mania (the English Extreme) on a first play. Unknown from the second play. New Game Plus carry-over is per category, and v2.0.0 added titles to that list.
Removed or refused
- Character rename. Famitsu quotes the team: the spoken name would not match, so they cut it.
- The original sound test is not in this build.
- No 4:3 option. No way to use the old English voices.
- Four-player battles, because the base is PSP, not PS1.
- Character sprites do not change with Graphics mode, so remastered props can sit next to the old sprites. Reviewers also flag AI-upscale artifacts on some movies.
Renamed in English
RPG Site's review lists Merenol as Mjolnir, WakeUp Charm as Stun Bracelet, Reflect as Reflex, and Pico Revenge as Pow Hammer Revenge. If a PS1 guide uses the old words, translate them before you go hunting.
