** In a strange inversion, the Japanese version adopts the localized term "Septima" to refer to the superpowers that Adepts use; in the previous games, it was called "Seventh". Played straight when they then use the term "Septima Holder" to refer to the meta-humans, while the localized version still goes with "Adepts".
** "Winged/Wing Warriors" gets changed to "Falcons". Like in the previous games, many of their attack's names (including their LimitBreak) are also changed in the overseas version.
