===Other miscellaneous differences===
'''Layer text''': In ''Rebuild'', the text of the Layer illustrations were re-translated and of course the English was re-typeset, sometimes in completely different positions. A typesetting error was introduced in Layer 11. In some of the illustrations the Japanese text was also re-typeset, and in some cases completely removed. The Rebuild translation is perhaps better than the original's in general, but the typesetting looks better in the original as it's styled to blend with the image. In Layer 09, the patch of code floating to the right of lain was replaced with different code. Excepting the Layer images, there is no Japanese text to be found anywhere in the English version of ''Rebuild''.
While the original was released only in Japan, Rebuild received an English translated version released in the United States

'''Pencil Sketches''': As stated above, there are many rough sketches in the original ''Omnipresence'' that don't appear in ''Rebuild''. However, those sketches that do appear in ''Rebuild'' are generally much larger, showing more detail.
