Trivia[edit]
When the Second Story first cuts to the Sedra City Market, it is mistakenly labeled as the Sedra Colonial Guard Hospital. The time is also placed at 0955 hours, despite the scene clearly taking place before the attack. However, the subtitles correctly label the scene's location and time.
