Un Ristar arrabbiato:

While Ristar looks cheerful in the Japanese version, Ristar looks angry in the international version. This concept is similarly used in the Kirby series' game box art.

Prima ed unica volta:

Super Mario RPG

In the Pipe Vault, there is a Frog Coin hidden under a small opening that Mario cannot pass through. However, if you run at the opening and press Down immediately before entering it, when Mario crouches he will slide through the opening to the other side. This is the only time a slide like this can be performed in the game.

Un giorno vedremo almeno un'edizione digitale

The game got a very limited release in the US, due to the near-complete obscurity Visual Novels had in the west at the time, meaning copies of the game are collector pieces that run hundreds of dollars. It also hasn't gotten a digital rerelease either, presumably due to legal issues, meaning that anyone who hears of the game will be forced to turn to piracy.

Riferimenti importanti:

Metal Gear Solid 3

In the scene where Snake talks with Granin, a slow guitar-only version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty's main theme will play. There's also figurines of Metal Gear Ray and Rex in the room.

Genesi di un capolavoro

according to george kamitani in his 2014 interviews regarding the game, the reason why he created the game is because it is his own symbol of love and admiration of the western culture and history, he also said that the cause of his ambitions of wanting to become a game developer is that after he played a game called the black onyx because it deeply affected him the way how sees the western and the world history outside of his own country, this answer of his, in the interviews that was conducted to him in 2014 implies that george kamitani have a fetish feeling towards the western culture, it's people and history probably caused by the game the black onyx that he played before during his childhood times and the another possible cause of this is that he feels an inferiority complex of himself every time he sees a person of european-caucasian descent that make him feel ugly of himself.

A Jessica non piace il Puff Puff:

Dragon Quest VIII

There is a room hidden in the game where a bunny girl will give the character a "puff-puff". This is an implied sexual act where the character is blindfolded, and the bunny girl rubs two Slimes against the character's head as if the Slimes were her breasts.

This can be performed to all 4 characters. Amusingly, if this is done to Jessica, she will appear angry with her arms crossed, tapping one of her fingers.

Leaked

Prior to the game's release, an American live-action television pilot based on the game was produced by Instavision/1212 Entertainment, Atlus and INdiGO, a joint venture between Atlus' then-parent company Index Holdings and Japanese animation studio Gonzo. The series was pitched as a grounded hour-long medical drama consisting of a 13-episode first season at a budget of $1 million per episode. The pilot was shot in Los Angeles in early 2010 and starred Brandon Quinn, Eden Riegel, Jackson Davis and Julie Mond as a group of medical students who perform illegal surgeries for patients unable to afford proper treatment. It was presented to potential investors at the 2010 MIPCOM tradeshow, but did not go to a series. In late 2016, the pilot was leaked online.

Not quite immortal

Despite the man being unharmed by John shooting at him in the final cutscene, it is still possible to kill him outside of cutscenes by simply shooting at him. This will cause the player to fail the mission and to lose honor.
