Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

Dragons

Three of the dragons in the Japanese version had the names Odin, Dva, and Chetyre. Those names means, respectively, one, two, and four in Russian. The name of the dragon Dva was mistranslated and became Dover in the US version.

Elyon

When you fight Elyon, the dragonized ruler of Deep Earth, he takes several shapes (which are called "worlds"): Beria Yuga, Yetsira Yuga, etc. Those are combination of Hindu and Jewish mythology: the yugas are the huge time periods (epochs), according to an ancient Hindu teaching; on the other hands, the words beria and yetsira both mean "creation" and refer to the aspects of the creation of the world in the mystical Jewish teaching Kabbala.

By the way, the word elyon itself is also Hebrew, meaning "the highest", "superior".

Regional differences

The European version of the game does not have the option to make a temporary save. However, there are now more save tokens to help alleviate some of the hardship this causes.
