This one was easier and technically already doable, but I restored the unused alternate colour hairstyles in Zestiria! These go over their default hat styles.

After Sorey cuts down the cobwebs, but before they meet the spider hellion, Sorey and Mikleo have voice lines.

Unused game text:

It's freezing in here. Aren't you cold? No, I'm just fine. おお、寒っ、急に冷えてきてないか？ 僕は平気だけど

Fun fact, this portion was included in the manga adaptation!

Also back in 2021 I pointed out that Sorey has unused textures for his earrings that match his alt colour palette. Mauro reminded me about this today so I went texture hunting and found that Mikleo, Alisha, Edna, and Rose all have alternate textures for their head accessories. In the game proper, only Lailah, Dezel, and Zaveid have these alt hairstyles equippable.

Mikleo has another texture for his circlet that is never used because the game model uses the one attached to his costume texture. I approximated the look here:

Unused drafts of Lailah and Edna's Mystic Artes found in the game data. If you look closely, Edna has two expressions! (Psst, they're transparent!)

(lategame spoilers, i didn't include muse's scream bc it's in-game anyway)

Unused Japanese text:

はっ！！ いや--！！ 中佐、赤ん坊はどうしますか？ 放り込め 言い残すことは……けっ、ないよな 貴様ら--！ [...] ダメよ……殺さないで……

English mtl:

Unknown: *gasp* Muse: *screams* Soldier 1: Commander, what should we do with the baby? Commander: Throw it in. Soldier 2: Any last words? Hm, guess not. Michael: You bastards! [later, as Michael walks away from Muse] Muse: Stop... Don't kill him...

Edit: This dialogue was retained in the light novel.

As I noted in 2021, the unused text referencing that Zestiria takes place in the year 1000 of the Glenwood calendar was voice acted.

Unused game text:

And so it was in the year 1000 of the Glenwood Continent… グリンウッド大陸暦１０００年

This detail is also referenced in the manga:

Even I can tell the localisation changed some stuff here. Unfortunately the text wasn't included in the game's data, so that's future me's problem.

English transcript:

Villager 1: This is our village, don't you see we need to protect it for ourselves?! Michael: But if you retaliate with force, then it will cause nothing but bloodshed and loss. Villager 2: But we spent so much time building this village! Michael: I understand, but it can always be rebuilt. What's important is that all of you survive. Villagers: … Michael: We have the blessing of the seraphim. I know this is difficult, I really do, but for now we must believe that Maotelus will lead us to our chosen path.
