A prototype build of the Japanese version of ''The Sacred Stones'' was leaked to the public in 2009 and is available in patch form via [http://www.serenesforest.net/fe8/prototype.html Serenes Forest].  The prototype is dated at five months before the Japanese retail release of the game, and compared to the leaked {{title|Blazing Sword}} prototypes, it is vastly incomplete and prototypical.  At this stage in development, the game is largely unmodified from ''Blazing Sword'' with all of that game's graphics and music.  Only the first eight chapters are even remotely started on, with only the barest infrastructure existing for the rest of the game, and only a handful of characters have portraits, some of which are vastly different from the finished release.
