In 1993, I saw a flippant news report on 'Ogopogo' -- A serpentine monster that supposedly lurks in the depths of the Okanagan Lake, Kelowna, British Columbia. (I'm from BC). At the end of the report they showed a series of scenes where Ogopogo had been represented by various media.

They actually showed a clip of Ogopogo in FFIV unleashing 'Big Wave' on the endgame party. It was pretty awesome, especially since Final Fantasy was so underground back then. I imagine there was someone not unlike one of us working at the studio who decided to add his two cents to the report.

It made me feel good, anyway.
 
That actually is REALLY cool! I mean, sure, nowadays if FF is used, people just shrug it off. But back in 1993? Hell, back then I would've found RPG'S disgusting, and gone back to my platformers like Mario and Megaman. The fact that it got some recognition back then is awesome.
