Share with us a hidden easteregg or an overlooked tidbit of story that for whatever reason was hidden from/overlooked by the gamers, that you find is interesting.
Example: Easter Egg
In StarOcean 3 one of the characters, Adray, summons and throws large objects at the enemies for one of his attacks. Two of objects he might summon are the cannon built by Dr.Leon from SO2 and a block of ice, with Joseph's frozen sister inside it, from SO1.
Example: Story tidbit
For some reason, many of my RL friends who played FF8 never picked up on the fact that Squall was Laguna's son. Laguna knocks up Raine without knowing it, then runs off to become a journalist. When he returns, he found out that Raine died (probley durring childbirth), and then tracks down Squall and Ellone at an orphanage, but finds Ellone was kidnapped. He persues her to the Estar kingdom, where he saves the day and becomes president. If you go into the airship's warroom, where Laguna is staying, just before you crash the airship into Pandora Lunitica, Ward, as translated by Keros, will tell you that "You got your mom's eyes and your dad's hair" or something simular. That was the point that it clicked with me. It's nice when a game hides such an important plot point like that so well. Players of kingdom hearts will notice that Squall has Laguna hair now.
So, does anyone else got some interesting tidbits of video game triva to share?
