Laurent C. NTSC-U Prototypes (Ver. 0.830 - Sep 5, 2000 & Ver. 0.840 - Sep 14, 2000)

Two prototypes for the North American release of Skies of Arcadia. The game is largely similar to the final but contains many debug menus and features. In addition, some parts of the English translation have not been finalized, where they have slightly different wording from the final translation, have grammatical mistakes that are fixed in the final translation, or in some cases are still in Japanese and not yet translated.
