After the game's ending plays, there are several things that will happen if the game is left running, and it's possible to trigger a hidden message from a programmer named Hidemushi. First, the ending photo will change to black and white after waiting 18 minutes, and then sepia after another 18 minutes. After 55 more minutes, the music will then stop, and pressing A + B + Start + Select + Left on Controller 1 and A + B + Right on Controller 2 will cause some new music to play. Pressing B + Select + Right on Controller 1 and B + Right + Down on Controller 2 will start Hidemushi's message, calling out everyone that he had to put up with while developing the game and thanking those who did help him. Once Hidemushi's message stops, press A + B + Up on Controller 1 for his last message, a dedication to his wife. After waiting 18 more minutes, the game goes back to the title screen.

Two exclusive songs play during this hidden message. The first track is a remix from The Karate Kid NES game, while the other track is completely new and starts playing when the message 「そういえば　せわになったひともいたな・・・・・」 appears, translated in English to "Come to think of it, some people were helpful to me, too." Both games were composed by Hirohiko Takayama. Both songs, unlike the rest of the game, use the Famicom's basic onboard audio system rather than the Namco 163 audio expansion chip which supports up to 8 additional channels.

The Ancient Tongue which the Laguz characters speak is actually just a heavily stylized English font. The pieces of Ancient Tongue that appear on the game's menus can be translated, and when placed in order, form a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically a love poem that Hamlet sends to Ophelia: "Doubt that the Stars are fire / Doubt that the Sun does not move / Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love." The quote has no relevance to the game's plot, but is a neat reference to a famous line.

The game features a crash debugging tool that allowed the developers to find out information as to why the game has crashed. This is still present in all the Nintendo 64 releases, and can be accessed by inputting a series of button combinations after crashing the game. Information about the game and the environment that was present during the crash will be accessible from this screen.

The Version Info screen, however, not only has information about when the game's version was compiled, but also a message which reads, "I LOVE YOU".

The game contains a secret message from the developers that is visible if the user has a debugging monitor attached:

So you've got a MC monitor? That's nice. Now use it to write your own software - do NOT pirate other people's work, or they won't bother writing anything else

In the Japanese version, entering "おわひ" (Apology in Japanese) will reveal the hidden message "ぱすわーどがながくてすみません" (Sorry the Password is so long), presumably a message from the developers, apologising for the game's up to 104 character long passwords.

Golbez's HP in his and FuSoYa's battle against Zemus at the end of Final Fantasy IV (2,943) can alternatively be read in Japanese as 憎しみ, nikushimi, which means "hatred", while his starting HP in The After Years (2,971) can be read as 償い, tsugunai, meaning "atonement".

In the Adventurers' Guildhall in the village Aurilia on the planet Dathomir, there's a room featuring a Yanjon statue called "The Freeman Memorial". This was made in memory of the game's lead gameplay designer, Jeff Freeman, who had sadly taken his life in 2008. When examining the statue, it reads "The Freeman, gone but not forgotten. Thank you for all your works of wonder. You will be missed."
