Looking through the code in EoSD reveals a third playable character who was scrapped due to time constraints. The character's name is "Rin Satsuki", who would have wielded Flower Sign (Type A) and Wind Sign (Type B) Spell Cards. The character was speculated to be a Kirin or a nurse. The only official artwork of this character that exists is from Comiket 62.

Several sections of Tatooine were cut out due to time constraints. The Star Map was originally to be located in a Sarlacc pit instead of a Krayt Dragon's lair. Players would have to find the sarlacc in a cave complex and then enter it without getting eaten. Later the player could become a messiah of the Sandpeople and lead them to stand up against Czerka.

The game started out as a remake of an early Sierra game called "Softporn Adventures." It had no protagonist, little or no plot, almost no text, and understood almost none of the commands the player input. Al Lowe is quoted in saying "it's so behind the times it might as well be wearing a leisure suit!" This gave him the idea of creating the main character.

Attachment Early screenshots showed that when you captured an enemy and "tortured" them, they appear strapped to a medieval torture device known as a wooden horse. This device was almost exclusively used against women, and forced the victim to sit on a pointed wooden structure with their entire body weight, putting their full weight onto their vulva. This was later changed into a cat. This was likely done to lower the CERO (the Japanese version of the ESRB) rating of the game.

This game was plagued by internal conflict within the development team. Hiroki Kikuta wanted to take the RPG genre into a new direction while the others wanted to do something more close to what Squaresoft (now Square Enix) was doing at the time. Kikuta wanted the game to be action orientated, citing Resident Evil as inspiration.
Kikuta departed Sacnoth after the game was released and Sacnoth changed their name to Nautilus. This game is considered the source material for the series Shadow Hearts, as the games take place in the Koudelka universe.

There was originally going to be another game in the Saints Row series known as Saints Row: Money Shot. It was going to be connected with (the then upcoming) Saints Row 3 and unlock things for it. It was cancelled however, and the content was released as DLC instead. A beta was found online a few years later, though it requires a JTAG hacked Xbox 360 to play.

In the September 1994 issue of Weekly Famitsu, Shigesato Itoi stated that the rolling health meter in battle was originally going to be made of Pachinko beads. The idea came to him when a Pachinko parlor opened right by their office. He thought that the idea would be scary to see a stream of beads rattling out from Ness and his friends. However, it was difficult for them to portray it on screen, as when the amount increased, it covered up 1/3 of the screen.

The game started out as a Mad Max game, but was later dropped when no one could find out who owned the rights to Mad Max. It was later turned into an adaptation of Dethrace 2020, the (than planned) sequel to Deathrace 2000, which introduced the running over of pedestrians. Right up until the game shipped, the .exe file was called Deathrace.
