• It has been rumored that bringing the Princess with you to the Dragonlord and/or bringing her home only after his defeat gives a "different ending" with special text. I (x_loto) found no evidence of this when I attempted a text dump, but I'm no expert so that doesn't rule it out entirely. However, Blueberry Buttface's English text dump doesn't seem to mention it, either.
