A Final Fantasy game where you play as a Chocobo and fight people with cards. Pretty cool uh?

To do: test levels (there are some references to some test levels, with objects from various levels) unused cards (maybe?) unused characters (maybe?) unused sounds and music (there's a sound test utility in game, but you need to complete the game first to use it)

Source Code

Inside root/deck/en there's a header file, probably used to define the color and the max number of the cards.

Debug Menu Text

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

In root/opseq/en/select_sprite_lower.pobj.z there's some text referring to a potential debug menu.

All the text is from the main menu.

Regional Differences

To do: There's a lot more.

Cards

Japan	US	Europe

The cards show their assigned colors on the bottom-right, with the Japanese and US versions also including each color's name. The names were removed in the European version, likely to avoid having to translate them into multiple languages.
