Added DiffLines:

** Even the Attract screens have rare alternate versions in the same vein. Lord Deimos' main Attract quote says that he "rules his land with an iron grip", but sometimes the Attract screen will say that he "rules his land with a rusty spoon" or "sucks his thumb" instead. Other noteworthy alternates include (but are not limited to) Koyasha mastering 100 methods of baking cookies, Taria seeking the Mace to decorate her apartment, Ragnar having a really cool hat, and Al Rashid wishing he had a hat as cool as Ragnar's.
*** Xiao Long's alternate Attract screen is a notable exception, simply saying "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?"
