Attachment The dinosaurs were intended to have a complex AI controlled by an emotion system. However, the dinosaurs had rapid mood swings, sometimes switching behaviors so quickly that they just stood in one place and twitched. Not having time to fix the system, the developers worked around it by disabling most of the behaviors and increasing their anger and hunger levels.

In the Industrial Jungle level, there are a few raptors that the developers missed. One of them will walk around, but won't attack the player. Two more appear later in the level that will follow the player and sniff her, but will attack her if they are attacked or hurt themselves.

Attachment Two Solar Gun frames in Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand refer to games published by Konami. These are the Gradius (named after the series of side-scrolling shoot-'em-ups) and the Beatmania frames (named after Konami's series of music games). The former offers rapid shots, while the latter fires shots that make loud sounds on impact.

Several characters mention Mundus, the main antagonist of Devil May Cry, before or after fighting one of the characters from that series. Before the battle with Trish, Ghost Rider will say "I eat demons like Mundus for breakfast.". Phoenix (Jean Grey), after defeating Vergil, will say "Perhaps if I'm not too busy, I'll take care of Mundus, too." Dormammu also says to Dante that he should stick to fighting Mundus, implying not only that Dante is not strong enough to defeat him, but that Dormammu is more powerful than Mundus.

It can still be seen in the background of the options menu.

Franchise: Final Fantasy

The Final Fantasy series is known for its many religious references such as churches and real-life religious symbols being in the games, as well as borrowing names of fictional/mythical creatures for enemies or summons. However, some games go much deeper, alluding to different schools of thought and/or the mysticism of various religions.
• Final Fantasy IV bases the conflict between Kain and Cecil off of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, and even alludes to it with an in-game item.
• Kefka is thought to represent the Antichrist or even Satan himself.
• Sephiroth is also thought to represent the Antichrist or Lucifer. His design is similar to a fallen angel's.
• Final Fantasy X is centered on the corruption of organized religion. It is also thought that Tidus is meant to represent Jesus.
• The concept of l'Cie is an allusion to religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism where the point of living is to reach to the afterlife, and if you don't succeed in your current life, you simply try again and again.

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII (1997)

Final Fantasy VII heavily references the Lurian Kabbalah [kah-ball-a]. Kabbalah is a Jewish school of thought that also refers to the mysticism of Judaism and Gnosticism, a collection of ancient religions. Not only does FFVII draw from the beliefs of these religions, but it incorporates what actually happened to the followers in real life, as well as using Hebrew in the formation of character names. A few examples are:

• The Gnostics were persecuted, like the Cetra.
• Sephiroth's name comes from the term Sefirot (meaning "counting" or "enumeration"), which refers to the ten aspects of God in the Tree of Life.
• The sixth sefira in Tree of Life is beauty, known in Hebrew as Tif'eret {ti-fah-ret}. It is possible that this is how Tifa's name was derived.
