[Sir Lancealot]

Tornado no longer works on the Dark Elfs second form.
Gaint's Glove isn't made of metal, I think.
Cecil cannot use bows.

[Exdeath]

Pray restores MP and HP based on their max values.

Lugae in his second form uses an attack that "reverses", causing damage to heal, and healing to damage. An Elixir when he is reversed kills him quick (or at least deals 9999, somebody else do it to verify)

Rydia learns a wider variety of white magic as a kid than in other versions.

Edge cannot use claws

You can change which character's turn to use by pressing Y when more than one character is ready.

Item duplication no longer works

more to come

[Sir Lancealot]

Hammers are one-handed.

[Ultima Shadow]

Equipments: the only Onion Equipments that could possibly be worth the bother are the Onion Sword and the Onion Sheild. There are almost always better replacements aviable for all the other Onion Equipments.

The Cursed Ring seems to do nothing but decreasing your stats at first, but it actually doubles any elemental resistance given by other equipments. In other words, if you have an armor equiped which gives you 50% resistance to Ice, and then equip the Cursed ring, you'll become completely immune to all Ice attacks. In fact, those attacks will even heal you.

General "at all times" Startegies:
Draw Attacks + Counter on Cecil is always good. Even more so if you have the ability "Kick" as first move in the augment menu, thus making Cecil counter with Kick each time he's hit by a physichal attack.

Give "Hide" to someone with the ability "Aim" or "Throw". These are the only offensive moves that can be used while Hide is active. You'll basically have an invurnable partymember who can still attack.

Random Rydia Stuff:

Rydia's hair ornament no longer has a red gem, but a blue gem.

[Exdeath]

I've got more I'll type when I'm using a computer and not a psp.

[Sir Lancealot]

Changes to abilities and magic lists.

Fusoya
Regen has been replaced with Bless, which restores a small amount of MP over time in battle.

Cecil
Cecil can now learn Protect, Shell and Rise.

Yang
Focus now doesn't launch an attack, but instead builds up his power, and it can be used twice in a row for a very powerful attack next turn. It can also be used to boost the power of kick.
Kick also does more damage non-boosted, but does damage the more enemies it hits.

Tellah
His Recall ability no longer can cast any spell when used, but it can cast some of the twinmagics.

Rosa
Aim no longer has a damage bonus.

Edward
Edward gains new songs for his Bardsong ability as he levels up.
Salve lets you use a healing item on all allies, but also takes away that number of the item used.
