** For unknown reasons, Colonel Pretzel is erroneously referred to as "General Pretzel" by Flam Kish twice (Chapter 5's pre-boss cutscene and Flam's first Berman Report) and Hax once (Chapter 8's post-boss cutscene). In the Japanese version of Chapter 5's pre-boss cutscene, Flam refers to Pretzel as "Pretzel-sama". In the latter two cases mentioned, both characters correctly refer to Pretzel as "Colonel Pretzel".

*** Pretzel's journal entries in the Japanese version note that Hax was once his second-in-command, and that Von Stollen and Von Baum were in charge of Gasco's "frontier" (remote regions). In the English version, Hax is vaguely described as having been a "mere aide", and the area of the two old generals is also vaguely described as "this area", which may lead a player to believe this referred to the province of Dale specifically.
*** Flam's letter to her father in English says that she's grateful towards him for recommending that she join his garrison. This is stated with a different tense in Japanese, where Flam says that she ''would be'' grateful if he recommended her joining his garrison. She also tells Pretzel to keep her promotion to Lieutenant Colonel to himself due to it being unofficial.
*** The final entry from the journal of Berman spy [[spoiler:Spritz Strudel]] has the author refer to [[spoiler:his children Britz and Frita]] by name in both English and Japanese, but he only refers to [[spoiler:his wife Linza]] by name in the Japanese version.

Three playthroughs isn't enough in itself, there are other requirements such as a specific number of normal and link attacks, unless you have evidence of the contrary. For example, one of the gears is confirmed as requiring a total of 3000 normal attacks in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1357860/discussions/0/3041605810445395167/
