Aborted Arc: Difference between revisions

** Game designers were intending to kill Yuna off in the original script. In fact (according to [[Word of God]]) they had not one but ''two'' proposed methods: Mauling By Fou-Lu's Foo Dogs, or General Rhun killing him -- neither of these got implemented, though, because the game ended up on a very tight schedule due to (at the time) a very real fear of [[Author Existence Failure|Game Publisher Existence Failure]] and they didn't have time to code that part of the script. Yuna's death ended up just not happening.

** The ''manga'' adaptation of ''IV'' gave some satisfaction on one end, and Much Cursing Ensued on the other. The manga adaptation of the scene between Fou-lu and Soniel {{spoiler|features Fou-lu literally backstabbed and run completely through--with Fou-lu manifesting an energy sword and decapitating him whilst ''still having the Dragonslayer sticking through him''; Fou-lu then shoves this out by hand. Truly a [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}} Yuna, on the other hand, survives -- and this is especially maddening, seeing as other material in the artbook that didn't get the chance to be included in the game ''was'' included in the manga. This also pretty makes Yuna a complete [[Karma Houdini]].

* The [[All There in the Manual|bundled documentation]] of ''[[Escape Velocity]] Nova'' mentioned TCTLIDS, and its use to create a [[Fantastic Drug]] called FATE. The game's FAQ reveals that TCTLIDS was supposed to stand for "The Creature That Lives In Deep Space" before being removed from the Nova universe during its development.

* Capcom left the original ''[[Dino Crisis]]'' story hanging, in favor of [[Recycled in Space|Dinosaurs In SPACE In the Future]] for the third (and final) installment.
