** VII has quite a bit of it.
*** There are unused NPC portraits and voices found in the data files, there are three Manticore type monsters that were fully coded but who don't have sprites. There's a door in the Temple of Light blocked off by a fallen pillar.
*** Thanks to the programmers failing to ''completely'' dummy out the Manticores, their presence in the files but lack of sprites can cause a bug: they can spawn in the Arena, but due to being spriteless they are invisible, hit-detection is iffy and the game crashes if you right-click on them. Hottip: If you encounter manticore types in the Arena, use the A key (or whatever key you've rigged to auto-attack) to overcome hit detection issues. Just don't try to loot their corpses afterwards, because that too will crash the game. Thankfully this was later fixed in a patch.
*** Like its predecessors, VIII was going to be a Druid class that would fill the usual spot of [[TheRedMage mixed spellcaster that benefits from both intelligence and personality]], before it was cut out for some reason. A leftover of this is the Druid Circle dungeon in Murmurwoods. No quest will take you there, and there's a chest with an item called the Druid Circlet which does nothing, but was presumably needed to complete the promotion quest.

Corak instructed the party on how to teleport themselves to the planet's surface (perhaps even making them the player characters starting in ''Clouds of Xeen'') while the spacecraft itself burned in the atmosphere. VII changes this by having the party get steered off course as they approached Xeen, ending up on Endroth instead, and being part of the main plot of that game.
