A matter of a scene being intact, but the assets that were supposed to be used for it being removed.

In the story mode, Twilight's bad ending in the first game involves her being implied to be bound in chains and tortured by Mida Curtis (who, at the time, habors an intense hatred toward vampires, though she warms up to them later on, save for Dominus), under the pretense that torturing Twilight would lead to her revealing the weakness of the vampires and thus a way to kill Dominus (at the time, they didn't know they were fighting for the same cause). Most of the torture takes place offscreen, though Twi's screams of pain and Mida's dialogue implies that something ugly is going on.

However, cut assets from the game, including leftover Japanese text and even several pictures of a bloodied and bruised Twilight tied into an X position, some of which also include Mida in the shot, imply that not only would the torture scene have been shown on screen at some point, but it was also going to be much more graphic and violent. Apparently, the assets were removed and left unused because the developers were concerened that the game would be given a "D" rating by the CERO (an equivalent of the ESRB's "M" rating).
