Technically speaking, the story content of this prologue was present in the original Gaiden's instruction manual but it was added to the game due to modern games no longer including printed instruction manuals. The game begins with a new Prologue: Alm and Celica. While the handful of unique bosses in Act 5: Together to the End remain without dialogue, every other boss in the game received a battle quote and death quote. The remake remedies this by, at the bare minimum, giving every boss a portrait. The situation was similar for bosses in the original Gaiden many bosses had no dialogue whatsoever, with some even lacking portraits. Playable characters received much more dialogue both in the main story and through the addition of support conversations and base conversations. Playable characters in the original had as little as one line of dialogue to express their motivations before joining. Several of the prism scenes, like Berkut and Rinea meeting for the first time and Jesse rescuing Silque are entirely new. Some of the scenes featured in the prisms, such as Rudolf's relinquishing of Alm, and Duma's and Mila's forging of the Divine Accord, were mentioned in Gaiden but only in passing. Memory Prisms further increase the number of entirely new scenes by adding events that happened in the past. The game also adds many instances of new artwork and pre-rendered cutscenes to enhance story presentation. The original game had one, out of place, narration segment for the battle against Nuibaba, while the remake adds new narration and cutscenes at the start of every act. The most obvious change to the game is that every dialogue scene is expanded compared to the original, with many scenes being expanded to the point of almost being unrecognizable by comparison Gaiden's story had a minimal story presence at best with many of the game's battles featuring no dialogue and few cutscenes. After the beast's defeat the pair notes that the horrific presence doesn't seem entirely gone, and they depart through a warp bearing the Mark of Naga, presumably to resume their overseeing of Valentia's restoration.Ĭelica hires Saber in the tavern at Novis in the original game this scene was portrayed in only a handful of dialogue lines. Unsure of why they feel the need to enter the labyrinth, Alm and Celica eventually make their way to its deepest reaches, reading notes left behind by its previous inhabitants, and find corpses donning strange masks and a strange powerful beast. After arriving they explore the town and eventually end up hearing of Thabes Labyrinth.
