Notable: Ianeira's Tail is removed. You'll see it during her rail action. Her Gun was also turned into a grenade launcher. Despite the fact that Lavina and Tempesta equips are there, there's no rail action to accompany them or I just haven't unlocked it. Vespello,Graffias and Werkstra's weapons are also noticable.
