In initial versions of the game, there was something known as The Gold Chocobo Bug. On Disc 3 (just after getting the Blue Narcissus) if the player acquires a Gold Chocobo then they can fly to Ipsen's Castle and skip Oeilvert, the Desert Palace, Esto Gaza and Mt Gulug. They also gain immediate access to Hilda Garde 3. It also cuts down on game time for those wishing to get Excalibur II. Downsides to the bug include: having to buy a Ribbon at the Treno auction (as Mt Gulug will be skipped), items from the Desert Palace can't be recovered and Garnet will be permanently stuck in her 'mute' condition.

The last original Final Fantasy game to appear on the Sony Playstation. A scene in Disc Three, when Zidane and co. are plunging towards Terra, is very reminiscent of a scene in Final Fantasy V. This is the scene when your team goes to the "Magical World". Numerous other references to previous Final Fantasy games were included deliberately and are considered one of this game's most distinguishing characteristics. The most obvious of these references was "No Cloud nor Squall shall hinder us" referring to the heroes of the last two games.

Q
Are Zidane and Kuja related? Or are they just the same species?
A
Zidane and Kuja are both Genomes created by Garland in Terra but both are slightly different than the normal Genomes. Kuja was created to be an "Angel of Death" to encourage war and destruction on Gaia so that the souls of Gaia could be replaced faster. However Kuja was created as an adult and didn't get to experience childhood and so never developed any human emotions, thus making him difficult to control. Garland deemed Kuja a failure and created Zidane as a second "Angel of Death" but as a child so he would grow and experience human emotions. Kuja was only then meant to be a temporary Angel of Death until Zidane was ready but when he found out he kidnapped him and abandoned him on Gaia. Garland then banished Kuja from Terra and created the girl Mikoto as a third Angel of Death should Zidane and Kuja fail.
