Apparently, our Moogle stance was a hot take... AND WE STILL STAND BY IT 😤

During Final Fantasy VII's development, Barret Wallace's original name was "Blow" (ブロウ). It seems that despite having a gun grafted onto his arm, he also wielded a second gun in his hand.

Concept art sketches for Cloud's outfit for the Wall Market section of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth perhaps better mimic his model from the original Final Fantasy VII game, with a purple dress and red sash.

Character profiles from the official strategy guide of Dirge of Cerberus, including Hojo, Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Cid.

Final Fantasy X's scene of Yuna and Tidus at Lake Macalania was homage to Final Fantasy VII's Temple of the Ancients.

(We might speculate the text meant the Forgotten Capital, which features a lake with a similar mysterious ambiance that the characters enter in an iconic scene.)

"It's all Greek to me!" -Bugenhagen

Does Greek even exist in the Final Fantasy VII world?

...It seems it does. In the Speed Square, where players can board the Shooting Coaster, the Greek word "ρανκινγ" is written on the rankings board.

[Final Fantasy VII Trivia @FF7_Trivia]

In perhaps homage to FF7's strong engagement with Norse mythology, #Tifa's armguards in #FF7Remake are etched with premodern Germanic runes. It appears to be the Elder Futhark alphabet.

The writing itself, however, is gibberish and some of the letters are flipped or distorted.

Zack... Sunflower?

When Nomura discussed assigning Zack the surname "Fair" for Crisis Core, he mentions traces of an older idea can be found in the sunflower design of his swimsuit. Zack's fanclub's secret informant "Black Suit" (Cissnei?) describes his "sunflower smile."
