This results in system text remaining at the bottom of the screen until an object is clicked on and in-game text replaces it. The in-game options screen text becoming centered if the player chooses to save in-game, selects a save file, but then instead of saving OR selecting 'Don't Save', returns to the previous menu by pressing the B button. Certain hard-to-encounter bugs present in the original game were not changed. In the interest of preserving the story, in the end we decided to remove these bios.

In addition, a graphic in the Prologue was changed, and an overlay was used to correct a typo in the ending cutscene. Graphical changes present in the PlayStation patch were implemented in this version as well. This also enabled us to subtitle background dialogue not subtitled in the PlayStation patch. This modification was essential as a cutscene and the bonus videos new to the Saturn version have no subtitles in the original game. The code that controls subtitles was modified, giving us full control over them and enabling us to polish their presentation. The translator of the PlayStation patch edited their work, and then updated the PlayStation translation and glossary text. Additional text new to the Saturn version was translated by two additional translators. The PlayStation translation and glossary on were used as a base. This includes gameplay text, voice-over dialogue subtitles, the in-game glossary (new to the Saturn version), and bonus videos (also new).
