Etymology[edit]

The subtitle, Jenseits von Gut und Böse, is German and can be translated into Beyond Good and Evil. Like the other games, it was named after the work of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

Regional differences[edit]

  • In the Japanese version of the game, Sergius XVII is referred as the "Pope", while the English version refers him as the "Patriarch".
  • The scene where Albedo destroys his head to demonstrate his regenerative powers is altered; in the Japanese version, he uses a handgun, in the English version, he uses an energy ball.
  • Three superbosses, Mikumari, Baal Zebul, and Phobos Rigas were added to the English version of the game.
