During development, Strago had a 65-year-old wife named Lara. They had amusing arguments with each other claiming the other will die first, but she was ultimately cut from the game. In the game's original strategy guide, Strago and Relm are said to fight with stuffed toys. This might be another idea that was tossed around during development, but in the end was never implemented. The idea wasn't used until Final Fantasy X, in which the character Lulu uses stuffed toys as weapons.
