One little thing that annoyed me is that the ring spin direction is reversed in Sword compaired to Secret (and Evermore actually, they use the same ring system). It's a little counterintuitive to be so used to pressing right to get it to spin one way, and then the new game right makes it spin the opposite direction. Spin direction is never really standardized when there are rings and circle and such. They never decide on whether or not the top should be the side that determines which direction one can say it's spinning, or the bottom.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
