Trivia

  • In the Japanese and North American versions of Radiant Dawn, Resolve's descriptions erroneously claim that it increases strength as it did in Path of Radiance. Additionally, the North American version erroneously claims Resolve activates when the unit has 20% or less of its HP, which is only true for the Japanese version. Furthermore, the North American version says that it only has a certain chance of activating, even though the activation rate for the skill is 100% in the North American and PAL versions of the game. These were corrected in the PAL releases.
