{7.01} PANZER DRAGOON SAGA GLITCH FAQ
<<<=========================================================================>>>
Though Panzer Dragoon Saga's various glitches were originally detailed in this
FAQ/Walkthrough, I have now given them their own separate document. These
glitches are not really relevant to normal gameplay, but they are interesting
enough - particularly the various "walk through walls" glitches - to warrant a
guide of their own.
You can find the Panzer Dragoon Saga Glitch FAQ at:

{SECTION 8}
NOTES ON TEXT AND CONTINUITY ERRORS
<<<=========================================================================>>>
This section covers everything else that is not a gameplay glitch, but which
was clearly not intended to be in the game the way it is. I have also proposed
corrections and explanations for these things where appropriate.
<<<=========================================================================>>>
{8.01} ERRORS, AND EXPLANATIONS
<<<=========================================================================>>>
When a game is as near-perfect as Panzer Dragoon Saga is, these little mistakes
are incapable of detracting from the overall experience. They are only listed
here for the sake of completeness, and because some of them could conceivably
cause confusion.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
JAPANESE TEXT IN THE HOLY DISTRICT
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In Zoah's Holy District, Accessing the main entrance and choosing "Wait Until
Morning" or "Wait Until Nightfall" will reveal an error. When you reappear at a
different time of day, the Holy District's name will be shown in untranslated
Japanese.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE ASSASSIN'S DESCRIPTION TEXT
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The description from your item list, which states that the Assassin deals
"Mortal damage to any weak point" is apparently a mistake. Whether this text is
a translation error, something from an earlier stage in the game's development,
or whether it is a programming oversight that the Assassin doesn't do mortal
damage to weak points, is unclear. Whatever the explanation is, the Assassin
definitely does not do proportionally more damage to weak points than any other
gun.
It seems likely that the Assassin was meant to do some special kind of damage
to weak points, because as it is, the Assassin is rather pointless. It is
strictly inferior to the Pulverizer, after all, which becomes available at the
same point in the game.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE DRAGON BOOSTER'S DESCRIPTION TEXT
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The hidden Dragon Booster, found inside Shellcoof at Georgius, is probably the
strangest item in the game. Its description from the Item List says that it is
"A legendary item used to enhance any dragon's firepower while flying". It
would seem logical that such an item would have a noticeable effect, then; but
the Dragon Booster apparently does nothing.
As with the Assassin, this text is possibly a translation error. Alternatively,
the Dragon Booster could have had its function removed purposefully, with this
text left in by accident. Either that, or its function was accidentally left
out.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
NO ITEMS OR EXPERIENCE POINTS FOR DEFEATING SESTREN
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The "Data on Defeated Enemies" gallery states that for defeating Sestren, you
should receive an Elixir Maxis / Berserk Medis item, as well as 27,620
experience points. However, you never get anything for defeating him.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE ARM WING FMV ERROR
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will notice that, even if you have upgraded to a Light Wing or Solo Wing
