Description

The french COB files are around 3MB larger.

Those contains all texts descriptions which is expected to be different in french.

But this should not cause a +3MB file size, there is most likely more debug / duplicated entries in the french game release (french files are 1 week older)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare the two ISO files to identify the source of the size difference. Look for duplicated or debug data in the French version. Tools like binwalk or a hex editor may help.
