North America Release Differences

Atlus' North American release of Demon's Souls is essentially the same as the earlier releases (it is based on patch version 1.04), but there are many changes to translations and new name changes. This Wiki uses the terminology from the original Asian releases (Japanese, Chinese, Korean), so this page will be a reference summary for players new to the N.A. version, and finding the terms which appear differently here.
