Proto:Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road

This page details one or more prototype versions of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.

To do: When this game is released, move the unused content on this page to the mainline one, and leave demo-specific content in that page.

An online test demo of Inazuma Eleven Victory Road was released on March 28, 2024, subtitled as Leave your Inazuma Mark on the World!. There are some interesting things to be found in the files. The beta is split into two parts; the first part was released along with the beta, while the second part was released on May 20th. A lot of files from the second half and full-game exclusive content were already present in the base game.

Version Differences

Unused Code

A .lua script file called "vs_route_town_menu_0.04.11.lua" can be found in the files of the beta. Since the mode referenced in the file name isn't accessible in the beta, this file goes unused.

A piece of code in script file "title_main_0.08.63.lua" suggests loading the Yo-kai Watch 4 intro (presumably because of the file name).

Yo-kai Watch leftovers files

In the game files, there's a file called "activate_momo_travel.cfg.bin", including the name of the Yo-kai Gakuen Y character. There is no text contained in this file despite being in the "text" folder of the game.

There is also a file called "medal_text.cfg.bin", which may originate from Yo-kai Gakuen Y, Yo-kai Watch 4 or from Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch.

The English, Spanish, German, Italian, French text folders share the aforementioned "medal_text.cfg.bin" file, and "event", "map" and "purpose" folders.

Some translations seem to be made with Google Translator, and some phrases have weird translations.

Buff icons	Exhibición icónica de buffs	Iconic Exhibition of Buffs	???

French Translation Errors

There is also some inconsistency and spelling errors in the French translation of the game. Examples include:

- A misspelling error in the word "imaginaires", where is misspelled "omaginaires".

- The game generally calling Team Passives "Passifs de l'équipe" except when a new one is unlocked: "Passants d'équipe".

- The game "publishing" ("publiés") new Team Passives instead of unlocking them ("révéler" or "débloqué").

Unused Development Material

The file "app_config_0.07_55.99.cfg.bin" includes some strings, probably for plugins, and platforms. These include:

RT_Live2D
