As a classic domestic game, "The Legend of Paladin Sword" has been released in many versions since its debut in 1995. Of course, there are many versions of various FC cottages and mobile phone transplants.
However, among the many versions of the game, there is one version that may not be known to the majority of players, that is, the Sega Saturn version (SS version) of the Legend of the Paladin Sword.
You read that, Paladin was once available on Sega Saturn in 1999 and was released in Japanese and Chinese Traditional. Compared with the original version, the style, music, and combat effects of the SS print have changed greatly.
It can be seen that Daewoo's ambitions are still quite large, and he wants to actively explore the overseas market, but unfortunately, the Sega Saturn game console encountered the Sony PS game console at that time, and soon lost, and the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" fell into the sand.
So what kind of game is this Sega Saturn version of Paladin Legend? How exactly is it different from the original?
In this issue, Xiaobian will start with the character standing painting, and take you to understand such a strange style of painting SS version of "Legend of the Paladin Sword".
At the beginning of the game, when Li Daniang's standing painting appeared in front of her, the difference between her and the original was quickly revealed.
The SS version of Li Da Niang looks obviously much better than the original "Ci Mei Shan Mu", giving people the feeling of being like a neighbor's aunt.
SS version of Li Da Niang
Such a change may be because the original Li Da Niang Li painting is too scary, afraid of scaring children? However, Li Xiaoyao was able to treat Lady Li as a Luocha ghost woman in his dream, and the latter's appearance was naturally not much better.
In contrast, I personally prefer the original version of Li Da Niang.

Next, look at the game's four protagonists, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru and Anu.
The first is Li Xiaoyao, the left is the SS version, the right is the original version, and so on.
The SS version of Li Xiaoyaoli's painting is obviously much more refined than the original, and the painting style is quite a bit of yokoyama's glorious "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" style, the skin color is not so dark, and the eye details are well portrayed.
Overall, the SS version of Li Xiaoyao still looks very good.
Next is Zhao Ling'er, I have to say that the gap between the painting styles of these two sides is really too big.
The SS version of Zhao Ling'er's standing painting is obviously Japanese girlish style, and the face is more lively and vibrant. The original version is a bit wooden in comparison, after all, Zhao Ling'er at this time is also fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is more inclined to a child who is not deeply involved in the world.
After saying Ling'er, let's take a look at Yueru, the difference between the two is not small, and the left Moon Ru is obviously older.
In the game, the color of the moon is purple, the color of the SS version of the standing painting is light, and the details are not as good as the original. In comparison, the original Moon Ru is more beautiful and girly.
Then there is the comparison of the two versions of Anu, whose costumes are almost identical.
SS version of Anu still walks in the same style as Zhao Ling'er, but this time it is not necessarily stronger than the original, this time I stand on the right, or the original version looks more pleasing to the eye,
What needs to be mentioned here is that each character in the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" has a large number of standing paintings, which will change with the change of emotions, and it is richer than the original version. To be fair, the SS edition comparison charts use standing drawings in their usual state.
The four protagonists are finished, and then look at the standing paintings of some other important characters.
First of all, let's talk about the standing painting of Li Xiaoyao's master Jiu Jianxian, how does this painting style look like a strand... Ah, Situ Sang, the cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming again.
This big thick forehead, if you don't look closely, you think it's from the "Taikoku Lizhi Biography" next door, I'm afraid it's not the Dongying Wine Sword Immortal!
The same disciple of the Shushan Sect, look at the standing painting of the Sword Saint of the People.
This is called the real generation of grandmasters, just like the sword immortals who came out of the novel, the immortal wind Dao bone, and the instrument Yu Xuan Ang, which were a hundred times stronger than the original white-haired old man.
Next, it was the turn of the Red Ghost King, and after seeing The Standing Painting, the whole person was suddenly frightened.
Before saying that Li Daniang's style of standing painting was changed to avoid scaring children, it seems that he thought too much, and this painting style can be more terrifying than the original version.
Ji Sanniang's standing paintings also have a strong Fuso style. How to describe it? Big sister, I don't think you're like a snitch, but a bit like a Toei ninja.
As for the standing painting of another female villain BOSS Golden Toad Ghost Mother, because of the scale, I will not let go, the reason is understood by everyone.
Caiyi's wife is still very good-looking, but the hair ornaments are worse, and the whole person looks old. After transforming into the original form of a butterfly, the painted yili painting was upgraded again, almost on par with the original.
Jiang Qing's painting style exudes a smell of evil charm, you are a disciple of the Shushan Sect! It was not a little worse than the Sword Saint, but it was still much stronger than Situ Sang.
Jiang Wan'er's standing painting is still very good, the clothing details are portrayed very carefully, and the appearance value is also very online, which can also be regarded as saving some face for the Jiang family.
Grandma's painting style is also much more easy-going, no longer the style of the original Black Mountain old demon. However, after the revision of Grandma, there is always a sense of déjà vu of Grandma Liu, which may be the reason why "Dream of the Red Chamber" has seen too much.
The next is also the standing painting of several Hmong women.
The standing paintings of the patriarch, the witch queen, and Gai Luojiao are all very regional characteristics, and I have to say that the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" has done enough kung fu in the Miaojiang style, and the overall level is higher than that of other characters.
However, except for the Holy Gu, this painting style looks like a witch who can do magic, and always feels that she will cast a spell on Ling'er.
Finally, it was miaojiang's turn to have two heavyweight characters appear.
Elder Shi's standing painting was not as mighty and domineering as the original one looked, but it was simply like a martial artist, less like an elder's momentum.
Next, it is the turn of the much-anticipated Lunatic Sect Leader to appear, and the high energy ahead!
Watching the final boss appear in this style, I was completely devastated, I am afraid that I did not cross from Wolverine's side.
The mighty and majestic Moon Worship Sect Leader of my hall was actually painted with the appearance of this sharp-billed monkey cheek, no wonder the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" did not catch fire in the end, it seems that there is still a reason.
Of course, these are all jokes, SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" did not catch fire in the end, in addition to the decline of the Sega Saturn game machine, there is another important reason, that is, SS is very difficult to operate, far less convenient than the computer, and has little to do with the character painting style.
However, this does not prevent the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" from becoming an excellent game, after all, there is a plot base of the original work, and it will not be worse.
Because the length is too long, the content of this issue ends here, can everyone accept such a strange character painting style?
The next issue will continue with the battle effects, and the story belonging to the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" continues.
