Unused Text#

Traverse Town World Map Text#

The world map has unused text for Traverse Town if you're progressing through it during the first visit, which is impossible to see in-game as you cannot access the world map until said first visit of Traverse Town is completed.

A Link Portal has appeared in the Destiny Islands. Better check it out!

21-ct00300.ctd contains mission objectives for the player to do. One of which mentions a link portal appearing on Destiny's Islands, which can't be accessed at all outside of cutscenes. This seems to suggest that Destiny's Islands was planned to be a playable world at some point.

Save Error Messages#

Unable to save. 
Unable to delete save data.

21-ct00300.ctd contains text for the menu. It's outright impossible for the game to not allow saving or deleting save data.

Development-Related Text#

Simple Test Message#

85-ctrg300.ctd, which holds all of the cutscene text for the beginning of the game, has a very simple unused message.

UNUSED CARD 60

This one is self-explanatory, as in 143-ctit000.ctd there's fifteen unused cards for Dream Eaters. It can be debated that these are the cards for the Nightmare Dream Eaters Bosses that Sora & Riku fight throughout the game, but there's only eleven of them.

158-ctzz100.ctd contains unused text of testing the size for pixels and angle of the screen. But what makes this text interesting is the mentions of "Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith, "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi, and "Baby, Please Don't Go" by Aerosmith. Looks like someone on the development team really liked these songs.

NOT USED Dream Eater#

NOT USED

166-ct00400.ctd contains all the names for the Dream Eaters that can be recruited into your party. One simply says, "NOT USED", which is placed above Meow Wow's ID.

Like with 158-ctzz100.ctd, 192-ctzz400.ctd contains unused text to test screen related things. However, this one has references to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, an anime about a magical girl that's known for being quite dark.

La Cité des Cloches Placeholder Text (Sora)#

ND101：仮組み中、レイアウト＆尺未定
ND102：仮組み中、レイアウト＆尺未定、素材未揃い 
ND104：仮組み中、レイアウト＆尺未定

While 34-ctnd100.ctd} is used in-game for Sora's cutscenes in La Cité des Cloches, there's some placeholder text that goes unused. This can be only found in the Japanese version's files.

La Cité des Cloches Placeholder Text (Riku)#

nd251:仮組/カメラ＆尺仮

Like with above, 50-ctnd200.ctd contains placeholder text for Riku's cutscenes in La Cité des Cloches. These can only be found in the Japanese version's files.

Symphony of Sorcery Placeholder Text (Sora)#

FA195（分岐チェック）

40-ctfa100.ctd contains text for Sora's side in Symphony of Sorcery that's not seen in-game and can only be found in the Japanese version's files.

Symphony of Sorcery Placeholder Text (Riku)#

FA296（分岐チェック）

44-ctfa200.ctd also contains placeholder text for Symphony of Sorcery, but with Riku's sidem and can only be found in the Japanese version's files.

Destiny's Islands: Main Island#

Destiny Islands 
Main Island

31-ct00000.ctd mentions a room for Destiny's Islands that's never seen in-game, called "Main Island". The actual room model doesn't exist anymore in the final game, sending the player to a black screen if they attempt to access the room with save data editing. Judging by the name of the room, it seems to be the area Kairi and Selphie are seen on during cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts II.

31-ct00000.ctd also contains traces of a world that was used purely for debugging purposes, but is otherwise internally known as world "zz". None of the actual maps from this world are in the game files, but this does tells us which room served specific purposes.
