Ephiam created all terms used in the game by banging his face against his keyboard.

Dang it, Trihan, you can't just burst in here and throw around my Super Secrets like they're regular secrets! If everyone starts to do that, my names won't be so... uh... "unique" anymore!

Also, good catch, Corf. Somehow I... didn't see that?

THEY'RE... blue, I think? Someone's in there now, so I can't double-check!

As for actually giving out little bits of information on ideas that I'd scrapped: Lifa, the party's Black Mage and princess of Yurudos, was originally intended (by me, before Desertopa joined the team) to die and replaced with Vladimir.

The Black Mistress of Ziazu was supposed to be Yoor's mother, but this was before a lot of the game's backstory and history of the kjrn was fleshed out. We also though this would be a little too much and would add far more drama than the game needed (and it's already chok-full!)

Vladimir was supposed to make an appearance in the final dungeon as the game's penultimate boss battle. This idea was scrapped, and he was moved to being the final foe the party would face within Diaboros.

Also, before opting to make this a very story and dialogue-heavy game, I'd originally intended to basically do a graphical overhaul of the original Dragon Fantasy and leave the story just as bare-bones.

I'll keep spitting them out if there's any interest! So be sure to let me know =B

Hmmm... I'm not sure if I can remember ALL of them, but what I was mainly referencing when I said that was that I wanted to add in a lot of small details that'd make every player's experience slightly different. For example, a lot of enemy's have rare and one-of-a-kind equipment drops that some people may never see, while other might end up with 8 of said item in their inventory! But something more along the lines of what you are referring to would be the "Fairy Scythe" in the Arvandi Woods, which a decent amount of people seemed to miss because I threw them off with a decoy chest with a teleportation event in front of it =P

Some other ideas I had that were scrapped somewhere along the way were:

-Veryl would have a group of characters accompanying him around that'd act as HIS "party members." They'd be Vladimir, Giruvega, and Baolovar.

-I was also thinking on allowing the player to control Veryl and his group at certain points in the story, similarly to how Fou Lu and Ryu's group were switched around in Breath of Fire 4.

-The confrontation with Giruvega atop Mountain Tower was going to be completely different. Far before working with Desertopa, I originally intended the prince to transform into a monster/some kind of creature so that the fight would be more similar to the original (in Dragon Fantasy). Vladimir was going to have planted an experimental creature within Giruvega that would've been birthed just in time to fight the party.

-For a SUPER SECRET, and something that I'd have no reason to bring up within the actual game, is that I've always seen Celes as having an interest in women. Even though some people thought there was some semblance of a romantic spark between our heroine and Yoor, it sadly wasn't there. Or maybe if there was, perhaps now I should feel a little bad for Yoor? =P

Actually, my preference as a writer tends towards distinctly non-subtle romance, but Ephiam's vision was to keep the signs of their feelings to hints.

Here's another tidbit. When Lifa says in the scene with Baolovar in Old Yurudos that "we've learned a thing or two here anyway," rather than the revelations about Veryl, she's mainly thinking of the discovery that Sando will prioritize her safety over getting an edge on Veryl.

Also, for another note on something that readers would be even less likely to infer from the dialogue. When Lifa says in the Arvandi Woods that the throne "isn't worth having..." that wasn't the complete thought there which she trailed off at. What she was thinking, as I wrote it, was "It's not worth having your family die for." This is an allusion to her rarely mentioned older brother who died before the start of the story, leaving her next in line for the throne. So she's thinking about the contrast between Giruvega, who cursed his brother in order to get at the throne, whereas she loved her brother and as far as she's concerned becoming first in line to the throne has only made her life worse.

Of course, this is completely opaque from the dialogue I wrote, but I like to leave some stuff behind the scenes where it influences the characters' feelings and actions even if the player doesn't know about it.
