Features

One of Sword of Etheria's main characters is named Leon, a male Katena with a large claw on his left arm. He is technically based on the Cowardly Lion from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but since he shares his name with Leon Belmont, Konami tied the two characters together in an Easter Egg: Leon Belmont's costume can be unlocked, which gives Leon the power of thunder.

Other cameos

In addition to Leon Belmont's costume, other costumes from other Konami series can be unlocked as well. These include three costumes from Suikoden III characters (Flame Champion, Koroku and Kogoro), one costume from Silent Hill 3 (Robbie the Rabbit) and one costume from Tokimeki Memorial 3.
