"hidden" dialogue on SotN for PSP

cool, ive never gone back right after since im ocd about completion, but ill have to see if ive got a save before the fight

Heh, thanks. It seems that they have audio for a conversation like this on the original PSX version, but its unused. Also after I had cleared almost the entire inverted castle, Ive used a library card and then returned there, but they weren't there anymore (as expected).

Its not totally the same. It also adds Maria as a playable character, with her moveset from Rondo instead of the overpowered from Saturn (I like it anyway lol) and added back 2 familiars from the japanese version, that were removed from the ocidental versions (second fairy and demon, Faerie and Nose Demon).

Also, you need to battle Maria like in the Saturn version to get the Holy Glasses, but they removed one of the best musics and used Strange Bloodlines instead (facepalm). Why not use Guardian like in Saturn?



Also they fixed a cutscene related bug, where if you tried to encounter Maria entering by the wrong side of the room, the game would freeze in PSX. This trick involved passing the crumbling bridges before having the double jump, using the wolf and being a wizard in this game. Then going ALL the way to the Royal Chapel in direction to where you fought Gaibon and Slogra. Remember that there is a locked door and you need the Jewel of Unlocking to open it and then you encounter Maria? If you enter from the wrong side (chapel) Maria will come from the same side as you, they will stop in the correct placement for a conversation, but it never starts lol

I've tried to do that in PSP only to discover that she wasn't going to appear here anymore, maybe because the conversation on the hyppogriph room nows let the game knows that she appearing there wouldn't make sense. Now I need to replay the game to sse the new translation in this part

But new bugs have appeared in the process.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever done that before!
