===CD-ROM²=== | ===CD-ROM²=== | ||
The CD-ROM² version doesn't change much from the Super Famicom release, but adds a few features like a reworked soundtrack, cutscenes, and additional demons. | |||

===Mega-CD=== | ===Mega-CD=== | ||
The Mega-CD version includes many changes over previous releases. The graphics and soundtrack have been reworked, with a new additional track for the [[Cathedral of Shadows]] being included. All regular item boxes have been removed, leaving only the special chests that contain gemstones in the game. | |||
There are some changes made to the overworld and dungeons such as new underpasses in the overworld and the [[Basilica]] having its layout completely redesigned. | |||
Similarly to the CD-ROM² release, the Mega-CD version also includes cutscenes, but now featuring voice acting. | |||
New demons have also been added to this version. | |||

===Game Boy Advance=== | ===Game Boy Advance=== | ||
The Game Boy Advance version is largely based off of the PlayStation release, aesthetically and gameplay-wise, though the 3D environments have been changed to 2D and the game has a reworked overworld map. The soundtrack has also been reworked due to the Game Boy Advance using a weaker soundchip. | |||
The difficulty is now that of the Normal difficulty setting from the PlayStation release, with no option to change it. | |||
A feature unique to the Game Boy Advance (and iOS) release is the inclusion of [[A-Mode DDS]]. This includes a dictionary for analysed demons, Visionary Items, which provide behind-the-scene perspectives into characters, and the [[Demon Bank]], which allows the player to store demons to allow for more space in their current stock. | |||
===Wii U=== | ===Wii U=== | ||
===iOS=== | ===iOS=== | ||
The iOS version is a port of the Game Boy Advance release, though the game now uses touchscreen controls.
