Dark Ragne itself differs in this prototype, having a more saturated appearance and doing several attacks not present in the final game such as electrifying parts of the floor and shooting small spider-web-looking projectiles.

Dark Ragne has a different intro animation several Falspawn scatter around the arena as Dark Ragne crashes through the roof of the stadium and lets out a roar accompanied by various electrical effects. Towards the end of the video, we see the Dark Ragne boss fight inside the stadium. With that said, the damaged cars and the various Falspawn enemies are identical to those seen in the final game. There are also several chunks of the Urban District which aren't present in the final game such as a major park area that is used in the Shader Playground testing area. In addition to this, there are more trees decorating the environment and street signs appear undamaged. The video then transitions into an early version of the Urban District area with bright skies, modern-day styled roads as opposed to the final game's metallic roads. The icons used for weapons and items are reused from Phantasy Star Universe. We also see the game's HUD which has the previously mentioned holographic orange and aesthetic and a layout similar to that of Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst with the Action Palette at the bottom right of the screen, a hotbar close to the bottom centre of the screen and the player's health and status at the top left of the screen. The video fades to the game's lobby which has a drastically different layout consisting of a linear hall with a quest counter at the end and two doors. The only selectable base characters are Newman Male, Human Male, Human Female, and CAST Male. No character selection screen appears to be implemented and the character creator appears to be very rudimentary at this stage. Lastly, the font in these menus is reused from Phantasy Star Universe's title screen. In addition, all the menus present throughout this prototype have a very different layout. A different version of the game's logo is present and the game's background and UI have an orange holographic appearance which is present throughout all of the game's interface. The video starts on a drastically different title screen from what is present in the final.

Music and Sound Effects are taken directly from Phantasy Star Universe though its unclear how many of these are a part of the prototype or were inserted into the video (as the music does linger through various transitions). This early build features a lot of major differences compared to the final game though it's very likely a lot of these elements are placeholder.
