Japanese Release[edit | edit source]
The game was released in the PlayStation network in Japan on May of 2013. To do a proper localization of the game in Japan the game was translated and curated by Spike Chunsoft. This company is the developer of the game series Danganronpa and Shiren the Wanderer so they decided to include costumes of characters from those games to create excitement in the Japanese public.[3] The character Toro (the official mascot of Sony in Japan) appears in a number of Japanese video games.
Exclusive Content[edit | edit source]
The Japanese console versions seem to have everything the U.S. console versions have, minus Purple Thread and purple Hero's clothes. They also have some extra exclusive costumes, crafted from the exclusive White Thread, shown below. The Japanese wiki mentioned the Japanese 3DS also had Purple Thread, but has no page for it, so perhaps it was translated incorrectly.
