Different versions of PD1

[system]

I’m not sure how well-known this is, but as it’s news to me I thought I’d best post about it. I recently picked up the Japanese version of PD1, and while I was trying it out I came across a few things that are noticeably different from the PAL and Xbox versions of the game (the ones I’m familiar with):

1. In the Japanese version, it’s actually possible to kill the giant sandworms in Episode 2. I was talking to Megatherium about this a while ago, and we couldn’t work out why he could get a 100% shot down ratio in Episode 2 while I found it absolutely impossible. It turns out that the four huge sandworms have about twice as much “health” in the PAL version of the game, which makes it impossible to kill them all without cheating.

2. In the PAL version of the game, those sandworms fire volleys of green slime at you, but in the Japanese version they don’t attack you at all; they just leap around looking vaguely threatening.

3. In all versions of the game, you fight three groups of brown flying creatures near the start of Episode 2, and some of them carry pink parasitic things on their backs; when you kill those enemies, the parasites fly towards you like missiles. in the PAL version of the game, all three groups of flying creatures carry these parasites, but in the Japanese version only the final group of enemies carries them. The parasites count towards your shot-down ratio, so this section is quite a bit easier in the original game.

4. All versions of the game have a “teaser” FMV that plays if you wait on the title screen for ages, but in the Japanese game this teaser features text captions that fade in and out. (Predictably, I’ve no idea what they say.)

5. In the English translation of the opening FMV, the voice from the Tower mentions “Unit 01” and “Unit 02”, and we’ve never been quite sure if this is referring to the two dragons or not. In the original script though, these names are “D [lump of Japanese text] 01” and “D [lump of Japanese text] 02”. I’d guess that this is meant to link up with the “D Unit 01” / “Dragon Unit” terminology used in the later games, but it was just obscured by the loose translation.

6. If you finish any version of the game on hard mode, you get to see a hidden FMV of a cloudy sky, and text appears on-screen telling you what one of the cheat codes is. Have you ever wondered why that cloudy FMV keeps playing for so long after the text disappears? In the Japanese version of the game, if you wait right until the end you’re shown the Engrishy message “Expect next game of Panzer Dragoon Team”. This wasn’t included in our translation at all for some reason.

Oh, one last thing I came across: on the Japanese game disc, there’s a Microsoft Word file called “README”, which contains a ton of text that looks like it was (at least partly) written by Team Andromeda members. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Unfortunately I’m a bit busy at the moment, so there could be more differences that I didn’t notice on my quick play through the game. I was wondering though, for anyone who’s got the US version of the game, which of these versions is that one closest to? And has anyone else who owns multiple versions of this game (or any other PD games) noticed any other odd things?

[Giga_D]

I wonder what this text means and I wonder why they made the Sandworms impossible to kill?

[Ehndow]

I knew Episode 2 was simply impossible.Imagine me - the master of rail shooting cough cough - not beeing able to get 100% shot down ratio.

Thanx for the info Lance.You may be excused now makes gesture

Anyways I was going to ask someone to translate that for us but last time I asked about “Orta’s birth” he didn’t say anything…

curiouser and curiouser…

these are the properties of the NTSC version to the best of my knowledge:

sandworms are killable (as we discussed)
sandworms spit green slime
parasites only on final group
no teaser text
no engrishy message in hard mode sky

i still want to know why the final boss in my copy doesn’t fire anything when he powers up that attack!

[Bluefoot]

Don’t have my Saturn with me, so I can’t check for sure, but I’m pretty sure that you can’t kill the worms in the NTSC version. Either that or I just suck.

[SegaTecToy]

Same here. I just can’t kill that damn things!

[system]

I wonder why they made the Sandworms impossible to kill?

I expect they were trying to make episode 2 harder, and they just slipped up somewhere along the line; either they meant to give the sandworms a bit more health and gave them far too much, or they meant to make the sandworms unkillable but they forgot to remove them from the shot down ratio.

On the other hand, it’s vaguely possible that Sega sent a version of PD1 off for PAL localisation before the game was released in Japan, and Team Andromeda made alterations to episode 2 after that point in time (but before the Japanese release), to make the level easier and a 100% shot down ratio possible.

was half finised with my translation when you posted this, thank you

As Gehn said, that’s no reason to not finish the other half. I expect everyone here would be very interested in a readable English translation (I know I would be).

[quote=“Megatherium”]sandworms are killable (as we discussed)

That is weird; so some of the alterations were made for the US release, and even more for the PAL version? Pretty unusual stuff…

i still want to know why the final boss in my copy doesn’t fire anything when he powers up that attack!

Oh, I did actually check that for you and forgot to mention it; unfortunately his attack works in the Japanese version, too. Very weird…

Same here. I just can’t kill that damn things!

They’re still pretty tough to kill as far as I can tell, so even if they are killable it might take some practice; either that or it’s just another random difference in Megatherium’s (slightly weird) copy of the game.

[Ehndow]

About the Proto dragon in the PAL version I played he did the attack - he fired several huge green homing balls that left a trail.

I would love to see Darky’s towertransformation agehn in a future PD game.It was awesome!

[Megatherium]

Megatherium’s (slightly weird) copy of the game.

well, it’s nice to have the japanese version partially coroborate my claim of being a sandworm slayer. it might come down to looking at serial numbers on the packages if segatectoy and bluefoot really can’t kill them worms. you guys should try the code that does the several shot burst, that should make killing the worms very easy.

[Geoffrey]

The giant worms can be killed if you fire at their tail ends which lack the thick armour plating covering the rest of their bodies (although the last time I remember doing this was in the PC version of Panzer Dragoon…). I’ve only managed ti kill one before they disappear.

[system]

I’ve only managed ti kill one before they disappear.

I probably wasn’t very clear about the worms, but that’s exactly the problem I mean; in the PAL and Xbox versions of the game I’ve played, the most you can really do is kill one worm in the time you have. Four worms appear in Episode 2: one right at the start of the level (which disappears way too fast to kill in the PAL version), one straight after the cave (which you can heavily damage but not quite kill in the PAL version), and a final pair straight after that (of which you can kill one in the PAL version, or two if you use the rolling lock-on attack really, really skillfully).

In the Japanese copy I’ve picked up though, these worms can be killed with comparative ease - I wiped them all out on my second attempt, because as I say they seem to have about half as much “health” as the European sandworms (or possibly about two thirds).

[Bluefoot]

you guys should try the code that does the several shot burst, that should make killing the worms very easy.

Oh, I can kill them if I use the cheat guns. But I thought the deal was that in the Japanese version it’s possible to kill them without the cheat guns, while in the PAL (and, seems to me, NTSC) versions, you had to cheat.

[lordcraymen]

I’lL do the rest of the translation today, I was to busy at work.

I actually thing about relaunching panzerdragoon.de with translated PD material as new content. I pretty much have the same guides as lagi, except for the PD guidebook (and I didn’t bother to get the PDO guidebbok, because it’s a bad joke)

[PanzerPants]

2) In the PAL version of the game, those sandworms fire volleys of green slime at you, but in the Japanese version they don’t attack you at all; they just leap around looking vaguely threatening.

I always thought it odd that the worms in the Garil Desert in PDS were described as non-violent and that what would be seemingly the same worms shooting deadly avocado at you in PD. But this makes more sense, in that it seems the Japnese vision is that worms are docile.

I won’t polish your ego by saying something that implies we are in anyway dependent on your translations, but I will give it a thumbs up

That definitely sounds like a worthwhile project to me. I have most of the guidebooks too (except for the official Azel one, and the OVA one), but they’re really only useful for the pictures in my case.

The PDO guidebook is lacking in imagery, but there’s a wealth of information in there just waiting to be translated.
