Unused Graphics#

Rip the stuff.

Careful, you'll lose an eye.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

The game contains leftovers from DreamFactory's previous games, Tobal No. 1 and Tobal 2, and this game's arcade version. Some unused content include images showing stages not present in the final version and texts with early character names:

  • Eirie Ann
  • Wolf Girl Joe (Wolf Girl Jo)
  • Dan Guts (弾, possibly an early name of Han Daehan)
  • Heihachi Mishima (Tekken character; apparently the origin of Godhand's real name, Ken Mishima)
  • Devil Kazuya (Tekken character)
  • Tifa Lockheart (Misspelling of Tifa Lockhart)

Unused Character#

Doggo's gonna kick your ass.

Character ID 00 is a dog named Rio that had briefly appeared in one of the arcade version's ranking screens, running away from Jo. Here, it has the same moves as Django and "?" (the final boss), but can't use Special Attacks.

Notes

120

Poison

!

A potion that can't be used.

123

Koji's Ark

Holds Koji's soul.

While these arks are not unused, the player cannot keep them in the inventory and hence cannot see their names and descriptions.

124

Clair's Ark

Holds Clair's soul.

126

Gargoyle Claws

Contains minerals.

Unused food that can't be used, but can be sold for a low 5 Gil.

128

Explosion

Exploding

Probably the Bomb (Item #127) when activated by the player. As it is active and will explode, it can't be picked up.

135

Dragon Flame

Flames from a dragon.

Unused Materia. In the Status Screen it has the Fire Materia icon, while in the HUD it uses the Ice Materia icon. Its Basic Magic launches a fireball, but unlike the Fire Materia it flies straight forward until hitting something. Using its Ultra Magic will crash the game.

Crash Dump Text#

If the game crashes, text will appear showing what caused it.
