Prologue

This section is a full transcript of game's backstory as written in the manual. Scans of english manual that can be found online make the text somewhat hard to read, so for the sake of convenience it is presented below.

The continent Eclipse. Here lies the Holy Land of Zepter. In this land is a sealed tower that is guarded by the kings of surrounding nations according to the traditions passed down from their ancestors. They whisper a prayer that the disaster will not repeat itself.

It happened a long time ago. A tragedy descended upon the Kingdom of Eclipse, from which this continent drew its name.

There is a crown with a single eye. That terrible gaze, which snuffed out the Kingdom of Eclipse in one night, leaving nothing but a gargantuan hole. A fearsome power that led a prosperous king into total destruction.

Always wearing that crown, the king looked smug. "This crown is the source of our power. It is how we became the Conqueror." So the king would say.

That single eye that glowed so omniously before is now closed and quietly sealed within the tower. It was as if it had fallen into an eternal sleep.

The secrets behind the ancient tragedy will never be known. The peace in the Holy Land of Zepter looked as though it would last forever. Like it was forgotten that this was accursed soil...

The number of "mercenaries" on the continent has recently increased. They claimed no nation and operated solely for their own gain, making their way by force.

One of those men, Ruus Hardy, set out on a journey in search of a new position. The town of Zepter was the crossroad of nations, and there lived the gentle granny who tended the inn. She cared for him back when his career was just beginning. "Guess I'll stop by Granny's for a meal. It's been a long time..." Ruus could see her stern yet kind smile in his mind. He did not know his parents. Hers was the first warmth he had experienced, and he had always drawn strength from that.

But all that greeted Ruus as he came through the woods in the dusk was a mound of rubble. There was no sign of anyone nearby. He caught his breath and looked up at the sky. The tower, always standing so proud,[1] was not here. Only the base of the tower remained, looking lonely, as if the entire town had been sucked into the tower's depth.

Ruus, standing there in disbelief, sensed someone approaching and whirled around.

"Who is it!!?"

An old man dressed in a robe was standing there.

"I am the monk called to guard the tower through the generations. Judging from your long sword, you must be Wedin, Earl of Marus. How astute of you to discern the situation so quickly."

Ruus was about to tell him he had the wrong man, but the old man continued.

"The souls of those who lived here were consumed. Consumed by those in the realm of evil beneath the tower. If their souls are brought back, they could be saved, but my power is not enough to confront the evil ones... Several have gone down, but it is unlikely that they will return alive. Man-made weapons are useless against them..." "Time is running out. In just a few days, the door to the darkness beneath the tower will be closed, and those whose souls were consumed will never be saved. There is no choice but to rely on you. You still have the choice to say no and walk away..."

"And how can the souls be saved?"

The old man answered Ruus' query.

"The souls that were consumed by the dark ones are now a part of their power. They can be released by conquering the dark ones who trapped the souls. The most important thing is to find the key to restore the souls to their original bodies—the one-eyed crown. Thereafter you will be guided."

"This is a treasured sword passed down in my family through the generations. They say it is a dark one's sword... but no one truly knows. Nevertheless, I am certain this sword will be your only hope. Take it with you."

And with that the old man gave him the age-old sword.

"You want me to go down that hole with just this sword?"

Ruus stared down at the unlikely weapon, muttering:

"The 'dark ones' spoken of by this monk. So powerful they cannot be conquered by man-made weapons... If I enter this hole, will I ever come back? Wouldn't it be better to tell him he has the wrong man, and run away?"

But then in his mind he saw Granny's smile, and he could taste her good, simple cooking.

Ruus sighed softly, and descended down into the hole beneath the tower.

Cut Content

Unused Enemy

Image HP sp description
4,200 Spirit — 1 Focus — 3 Particle — 2 Soul — 2 Red winged demon with a baby head. Floats in the air and slows enemies with his laugh.

Baby Demon, known in Japanese as Dow Babe (ダウベイブ) was supposed to appear at the Gate of the Dead, before being cut from the game. The only confirmed ability is inflicting Weight ailment. With use of external tools it can be spawned in game, but AI seems broken and cannot attack by any means.

Unused Items

Game files contain two additional images for the Pitcher of Nadya, containing blue and gold liquid. Presumabely it could be used as a replenishable source of healing, similar to flasks in King's Field series.

Unused Spells

In addition to two rows of spells as seen in the game there is an unused third row. Following the pattern each icon represents a cut spell for one of six elements.

Unused Voicelines

Fat Mole, Akryal, as well as three unknown characters had some lines cut from the game. In fact two of the unused characters have their dialogue dubbed, while the remaining one has translated subtitles only.

Unknown 2
Such pathetic defenses. I will crush them with my magic.
Do you think you can resist my magic...
Unknown 3
Hah, you will fight me with no weapons? N/A
It's not over yet. Even with our great power, to lose to one such as you... N/A

Localization Changes

Overall the game has many signs of a rushed localization. For example while descriptions in JP versions have consistent formatting of description-line break-additional effects, the US version can have the two be on the same line. Not to speak about semi-frequent typos, poor sentence structure, and missing punctuation.

This section mostly concerns NPC, creature, and item names. Common trend is changing the unique names to show what type of item it is (e.g. Triumphant to Warrior Bow). When the meaning is unclear original name will be written in brackets using katakana alongside romanization attempt.
