In the Japanese release of Deus Ex, several minor changes were made that altered the game's menu/text presentation and moreso made the gameplay generally easier:
• The Power Recirculator will increase the power drain rate of augmentations.
• Player-owned weapons will do x4 damage to enemies and level obstacles like doors on Easy difficulty.
• All damage taken has a passive 40% reduction.
• The "Dragon's Tooth" sword deals 50 damage instead of 20.
• Note adding, editing, and deleting is disabled.
• Normal text color is changed from 0,255,255 to 255,255,255.
• Player text color is changed from 255,255,255 to 128,255,255.
• All English fonts in text and item selection are replaced with Japanese fonts and names for items respectively
• Infolink text slowed from 1 character per 0.03 seconds to per 0.09 seconds.
• The version string in the main menu is removed.
