* TheOtherDarrin: Out of all the returning cast, only Colette [[spoiler: and Kratos]] kept their original voices. This is due to [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood voice actor unions]] in the west, which make it extremely difficult to rehire voice actors for sequels or other projects unless contracted well in advance (a good example of this is the Manga/{{Hellsing}} films, which had to license the films out to Creator/CrispinFreeman to ensure he could return to voice the main character Alucard), meaning many of the actors didn't reprise their roles because of the unions getting in the way and making it financially hard to rehire the original voice actors. The two mentioned were able to return because they work outside of unions.

* FanNickname: Some have come to referring the altered versions of Emil's artes by names referring to the elements that alter them (like Demon Fang becoming Black Fang when infused by darkness due to the Tenebrae skill, or Burning Havoc, Phoenix Gale, & Ravaging Thunder for Havoc Strike, Phoenix Rush, and Ravaging Tiger when infused with their respective elements through skills).

Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.
Added DiffLines:
* DummiedOut:
** An alternative battle quote for [[spoiler:Ain Soph Aur ("Now, return to oblivion! Ain Soph Aur!") that can only be heard by using a cheat code to use Ratatosk in the final battle against Richter. This hints that at one point, it may have been planned to allow the player to choose which personality would be dominant for the end-game.]].
** Another example would be the multitudes of items that were going to be in this game (such as Holy Bottles, Magic Lens, etc) that were apparently dummied out when the developers decided to not use a world map.
** In addition to that, there is a unique set of BossBanter in the final boss fight for each of the heroes of the first game, triggered when that character is in the first slot in the active party. The only problem is that the game doesn't allow you to use anyone but Emil or Marta in that slot, so it's impossible to hear those lines unless you hack the game to remove that restriction. They're fully voiced and include the boss's responses and everything.
** If you hack in an old Symphonia character, earlier on in the game than you're supposed to, they will have worse equipment suggesting that maybe we were supposed to play as the old characters at an earlier stage of development.
