* [[Creator Backlash]]: The Gunblade was originally treated as one of the most effective weapons of the time, Cid being thrilled at having a Gunblade master in the ranks of SeeD, and it being often said that only the best can use them. However, since this game it's reputation has died down a lot. Squall's ''Dissidia'' profile says the Gunblade is an antiquated weapon and was notoriously difficult to use properly, and Squall's choice to use one is more a show of stubbornness than strength. Tetsuya Nomura meanwhile has admitted the weapon has an odd design, and looking at other games, Gunblades usually now appear as literal gun and sword combinations rather than the vibrating weapon Squall uses. |

** The French translation, full of [[Artistic License|gratuitous English that does not match the original English]], has an item called a [[Nine Inch Nails|9 inch nail]]... described as "the claw of an [[Industrial Metal|industrial monster]]." Guess the French translator must've been a fan then. |

*** Same translation also has an NPC remarking that Galbadia Garden's ice hockey team watches the [[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13 th]] movies while they train. Then when you fight them on disc 2 they're not called "Slapper" but are instead named "Jason." |
