dmp: Exactly. Companies are very unlikely to edit the workings of a PS1 game at this point since the software and development teams are long gone. If a PS1 game has an alternate version (ie would need a different patch), it was likely created when the PS1 was still 'alive' because a bug was found in the initial run, or the company changes logos or such.
duredure: Funny you mention Halley, I was just translating the Quest where she visits Leland's grave. I think there is more about Halley in Grand Edition. Her story is part of the end-game stuff that seems to have been left unfinished in LoF. She is a subject of several animated sequences in BGE.
An interesting thing I noticed, the Japanese LoF game doesn't have the problem on the 'New Game' screen like the US version does. Another clue that the "Dryst only" (set location out of bounds) bug is a simple fix once it's source can be tracked down.
