In the NTT-PUB official guidebook, Koji Igarashi & Toru Hagihara stated that in their early planning stages they came up with an alignment system. If the player used a lot of sub-weapons, they would gain a holy alignment; if they used a lot of magic, they would gain a dark alignment. There would be different endings based on the alignments with various subtitles, with Igarashi citing one as being named "聖魔のトリル" (seima no toriru), something like "The Trill of Light and Darkness." A trill is a musical ornament where two adjacent notes (i.e. 聖 "holy" and 魔 "evil") alternate rapidly. The reason for this feature's removal is unknown.
