Other

• The first Kingdom Hearts game marked the debut of Takahiro Sakurai as the consistent voice of Cloud Strife.
• Some of Sephiroth's moves (like Shadow Flare) were adopted from this series by Dissidia Final Fantasy, which then became the basis for their Smash appearance.
• Aerith's name was retranslated to better match her Japanese name.
• Sephiroth's one wing debuted in the original game; it was derived from the title of his battle theme in Final Fantasy VII, "One-Winged Angel", which reappears throughout the series and in other Compilation of Final Fantasy VII installments as Sephiroth's general theme.

Trivia
