Rune locations

I couldn't figure out anywhere else to put this so I posted here, but this has been bugging me since the GS3.

In the first two games, it was implied and then established that runes placed on the hands appeared in the palm, no? But in the 3D entries, the runes appear on the back of a character's hands.

So, what gives? Is either a viable slot for a rune? Or was this change made simply to ease the job of the animators?

I've wondered the same thing. I assumed that they were in the palm of the hand until S3. I figured I was just seeing it wrong in the first two.

Runes can be placed anywhere on the body. There is no set location. In fact, Crowley has hundreds all over his body. Leknaat has her half of the Gate Rune on her chest, I believe and it is speculated that the Rune of Change is located on the Leader of the Sindar's forehead. They can be located anywhere.

Oh, right...forgot about Crowley's uberness for a minute. Thanks for clearing that up.

Any idea why the developers decided to stick with the "back-of-the-hand" placement for the 3D installments?
