• No Export for You: The game was only released outside of Japan to Pal territories, likely due to its heavy religious themes, violent deaths and family unfriendly scenes, and various events that are a little too similar to touchy real world issues, which would never had gotten through the US-Nintendo's strict censorship policies at the time. It also didn't help that Enix, who published the previous two games, was at the time bankrupt so it didn't have a publisher.
  • A small theory was that it couldn't have gotten a publisher because it came very very late in the Super Nintendo's lifespan (when it was finally released in PAL territories; the Nintendo 64 was only three months away).
  • Ironically, the European English translation was done by Nintendo of America (with Dan Owsen, and Colin Palmer among other being credited for it). The game was announced by Enix America in various magazines for an American release as "Genesis" (which is actually an accurate translation for its Japanese title), but since they closed shop, it was quietly canned.
