Trivia / Rakenzarn Frontier Story

• What Could Have Been:
  • Early scripts of the game included in the initial beta test reveal some interesting tidbits.
    • The party was planned to be only six members. Makoto was still the lead, but the other confirmed members would have been Kanon, Lilith and Paula. Each would also have had two or three unique classes per character with other classes for sharing.
    • Early storyline ideas involved an alternate Danganronpa with Sayaka as the mastermind and an encounter with the Weeping Angels. The main antagonists would be called "Devourers".
    • A Persona-like stat building system would be used to influence relationships and the story.
  • Chapter 3 was meant to have a segment where the party split up and found Sayaka and Aoi that way. This was due to personal problems in the developer's life that resulted in changes in the development process.
  • The ending in Chapter 5 would've been much darker with Samuel's death being more gruesome. After the party defeated the climax boss, No. 9 would slaughter Samuel during the battle. The creator even stated he had made the sprite of Samuel's corpse being mangled and bloodied. This was changed because the creator felt that it was way too gory and dark as the story is already dark enough. It didn't help with the fact the previous chapter had Naegi going through an emotional breakdown.
  • A Halloween update was planned for October 2020, with the main villain being Mary Kujou, the Big Bad of Spirit Hunter: Death Mark. It fell through because of university classes and apparently never got beyond 2% completion.
