Trivia
- In the original Japanese, the dark robe shares a name やみのころも (Yami no koromo, やみのころも?) with the recurring Shroud of Shadows element first seen in Dragon Quest III, although the piece of clothing is always written out in hiragana, whereas the protective barrier is typically written in kanji instead.
