Biggs and Wedge: minor characters in the game. Their names are a reference to minor characters in the original Star Wars movie who assist Luke Skywalker in the final assault on the Death Star. They appear in Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy X. They also make a guest appearance in Square's Chrono Trigger, looking as they did in Final Fantasy VI.

Coffee in all these forms is made with coffee grounds (coffee beans that have been roasted and ground) and hot water, the grounds either remaining behind or being filtered out of the cup or jug after the main soluble compounds have been removed. The fineness of the grinding required differs by the method of intended drink production.

The game has also increased US awareness of such companies as Aston Martin, Ruf, Venturi (automobile), and Alfa Romeo.
