The sorcerous NPC character Selvius may be based on the enigmatic wizard Severus Snape from the Harry Potter franchise. Both have similar first names and Selvius speaks in a posh, judgmental, and condescending tone just as British actor Alan Rickman does frequently in his performance as Snape in the Harry Potter film series.

Attachment On the game's Digital Figure mode, there's a picture of the 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton. It can be found on the "White House - Oval Office" environment. The picture can also be found in the background on the game's story mode.

This is a reference to a 1999 presidential speech speech condemning video game violence, where Clinton held up an ad for the original Guilty Gear with the tagline "Kill Your Friends Guilt free".

The Keyblade featured is actually the Kingdom Key D, the Key that King Mickey wields at the beginning of the Kingdom Hearts series. This is one of the incredibly rare instances of Kingdom Hearts being referenced in non-KH related Disney media.

Attachment The CHECK description for Spoiler:the Pipis enemies, which can only be encountered on the Weird Route, reads "Pipis - ''The Original'' An invasive species of freshwater clam." This appears to reference two real-world entities that Spoiler:are also called Pipis. The first portion of the description seems to nod to a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which uses the tagline "The Original." The second portion, meanwhile, references a pair of edible saltwater clam species in Australia and New Zealand; the use of these clams as food is further referenced with Spoiler:Kris' "Fried Pipis" ACT during the Spamton NEO fight at the end of the Weird Route.

In 2021, several cheat codes were discovered in the Game Boy version of the game, the first two of which must be activated through the title screen.

• Ending and Credits: Up/Down/Left/Right/Select/Start.

• Sound Test: Down/Up/Down/Up/Select/B.

• Level Select: While paused in normal gameplay, press Down/Select/Up/Left/Select/Right/B. Press A or B to select a level.

• Hidden tribute to Hiroko Kasahara: To access it, you must first access the Sound Test menu. Then, set the BGM/SE index to 02 and press A once, then set BGM/SE index to 19 and press A once more. Lastly, you must input the following lengthy code:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right, Select, Select, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right, B, B, Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, Up, Down, Left, Right, B, Select, Right, Left, Down, Up, B, Right, Left, Down, Up, Select, Select, Right, Right, Left, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up, B, B, Right, Right, Left, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up, Start.

If inputted correctly, an alternate credits sequence will play out. The normal credits plays the game's ending theme and lists the name of programmer Yutaka ★Hiroko★ Sakashita among the game's developers. This alternate credits sequence instead plays the Vs. Mode music and lists the name Hiroko Kasahara at the top of the screen. Kasahara is a J-Pop singer, and the names of the game's developers in the credits are replaced with a comprehensive discography featuring the names of several albums she had released up to 1993, including the release dates for her then-upcoming 1993 albums "L'Express Fantasie" and "Nature". Considering Sakashita used Kasahara's first name on the standard credits sequence, he is most likely the one who included this Easter egg to document his love of her music at the time the game shipped. The fact that this sequence is hidden behind two cheat codes that would take almost 30 years to be discovered, with one of them being too long to easily guess, suggests that it was never meant to be seen by players.

Attachment In 2022, an Easter egg was discovered after one of the game's developers hinted at its existence in the game's Discord fan server. In the Ungard Mines level, when you come to the big bridge, you can turn to the left to find two bags of gold. Pick up the first bag but leave the second bag alone, and then carefully walk to the end of each of the four diagonal support beams holding up the bridge. Afterwards, on the opposite end of the bridge, walk to the end of the carved out rock path on the left side and stand in the corner of the rock wall. If done correctly, the "Use" prompt should appear. After triggering it, you can turn around and see a developer credit written in magical colored lights hanging over the abyss: "J.A WAS HERE". This is in reference to one of the game's designers Jens Anderssen.

Attachment In the very first Japanese release of the game, at the bottom of the well in Corel Prison, a rare debug enemy known as "Test 0" that was accidentally left in the game on its initial release can be randomly encountered. This encounter does not require cheats or hacks to occur, although GameShark codes can be used to access every other debug enemy battle in the game. This battle was removed from all future releases of the game. "The Completely Unauthorized Final Fantasy VII Ultimate Guide" by Versus Books, released in 1997, features an entry on this enemy (note that the HP listing in the guide scan is incorrect; Test 0 has 30000 HP).

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth nods back to this oversight by making Test 0 a legitimate optional encounter in the Beast Battleground. The nature of its presence in the original game is referenced in the enemy's bestiary entry, which describes it as "A test subject that managed to escape Shinra's R&D Division due to a developer's oversight."
