Trivia

• The Mushy Manuscript boss in the challenge battle "Year's End - Late Bird" is the silhouette of Aglovale, Lord of Frost's battle sprite.
• Vane appears at the dog aficionado party because of Percival's propensity to call him a mongrel.
• Premium Friday is a campaign promoted by the Japanese business sector led by the Government of Japan and Japan Business Federation recommending to lead a more enriched life on the last Friday each month. Tied up with a movement to improve work culture, it recommends ending work at 15:00. Since the last Friday of a month end tends to be when salary has just been paid, it is advocating to spend the afternoon shopping or travelling. This has been implemented in Japan on February 24, 2017.
