This game, however, [[NoExportForYou never saw release in the West]], and Idea Factory dropped the ball hard when they had the chance to release ''Spectral Force Legacy'', a remake of the two ''Spectral Force'' games, in the West. ''Spectral Force 3'', a POVSequel to ''Spectral Force 2'', was released in the West, however.

** MadScientist Anslow, who got KarmaHoudini treatment in ''Spectral Souls II'', got a [[BusCrash bus dropped on him]] in the twenty years that preceded ''Blazing Souls'', despite still making a huge impact in the game's plot.
** Hiro. ''Blazing Souls'' happens to be one of the few main games in the ''Spectral'' franchise to not feature her. She's mentioned to still be around by Liza in a scene, despite the implications that she hibernates when a war isn't breaking out. Even so, the game almost doesn't mention her at all, even when ''her brother Jadore'' made it to the main story.
** ''Roze''. And unlike Hiro, she has ''no excuse'' to be out of this game. Liza states multiple times that she works for her, and the lore flat out confirms she is Hiro and Jadore's half-sister. She's stated to be fully active by ''Blazing Souls''' time, and she's alive and well 200 years into the future in ''Spectral Force Genesis''. But she only gets passing mentions throughout ''Blazing Souls''; Jadore doesn't even catch wind of this fact over the course of the game, despite being informed that her upbringing was similar to his.

*** She is also the main choice for using the Rune Blade, which can do almost the same stuff as her personal weapon, with an extra kick: ''it has huge physical attack power and thus benefits hard from Alien Soul''. This means that a normally "eh" K'Tourga becomes an ''atomic bomb'' when she's using the Rune Blade at low HP.
