''Spectral Souls: Resurrection of the Ethereal Empires'' is the UpdatedRerelease of the [=PS2=] StrategyRPG game, ''Spectral Souls II'', for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable, and one of the few games in the ''Neverland'' series to get a western release. The game was developed by Creator/IdeaFactory, published in the U.S. by Creator/NISAmerica, and published in Europe by Ghostlight.

The game was later ported to [=iOS=] and Android, which fixed all the slowdowns from the PSP version.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable release suffered from severe laod times. It was pretty common to see the "Disc Access" message pooping up, be it during attack animations in battles or even in cutscenes, when the characters were talking. The [=iOS=] and Android ports are free of this.

* ObviousBeta: The bad programing in the PSP version is clear, as you not have slowdowns in battles, but also in towns, cutscenes and menus.
** Saving the game is another can of issues: instead of just taking you to the save menu, the game will ask if you want to '''delete''' a saved file, then it take you to the PSP name input screen (and ask you to give a name to your save file) before ''finally'' allowing you to save. You have to repeat this process ''every time'' you want to save the game.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The game features a total of 84 playable characters.

* ObviousBeta: The PSP version is basically a [=PS2=] ISO crammed into a PSP UMD and it shows.
** The bad programing in the original PSP release is clear, as you not have slowdowns in battles, but also in towns, cutscenes and menus.

* PreviouslyOn: The game opens with a recap of the first ''Spectral Souls'', which is handy for western players, as [[NoExportForYou that game was never released outside Japan.]]
