What's amazing about that is that they brought back the 8^2 curse of extinction.
In 1993, Squaresoft used to send out ads to people on their mailing lists (I was one of those people). One of their little mailings included a comment about a curse in Final Fantasy II for the SNES: if you do an action 64 times, it will trigger a reboot of your game, and your save file will be lost. They never told what the action was, but they were admant on the number of times it needs to be done.
t haven't found this info anywhere. If I'm the only one that knows it, it makes me sad. Hopefully, more find it.
