** [[NoExportForYou This game has never been released in Japan]]; it was developed specifically in America for an American audience. However, this led to a long-standing rumor that Americans got this game instead of ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'', which was released in Japan just one day before ''Evermore'' was released in America. In truth, ''Trials'' wasn't ported over to America at the time for reasons that had nothing to do with ''Evermore'' or its development. The SNES was already on the way out at the time that ''Trials'' and ''Evermore'' were released, with the announcement of the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 just a few weeks away. And ''Trials'' had so many glitches which needed to be fixed before Square could even think of porting it to the West that they decided it just wasn't worth the trouble.

** Try using a UsefulNotes/GameGenie code (with a cartridge or an emulator) to no-clip through walls at the beginning. It is possible to walk back through the closed iris, ready the bazooka, and blow up Carltron. Doing so awards you with 10 EXP and 15 Talons. Omnitopia doesn't trade in Talons, so perhaps this was an inside joke by the developers.

** In the official art and commercial, Omnitopia is depicted as a giant ring-shaped space station that encircles the world of Evermore. But due to time constraints and memory limitations, Omnitopia was simplified to a modest-sized moon colony.

** Judging by the game's code, the Cameilla robot has an attack animation which wasn't used. She hurls herself at the player E. Honda-style, just like she does in the cutscene when you defeat Mungola.

** There was [[https://the-toast.net/2015/04/09/scare-yourself-silly-the-lost-works-of-ed-kann/ a rumor]] that the ''Secret of Evermore'' story was intended to be much darker than what was released, and that an author named Ed Kann was part of the writing team for the game until he was eventually let go for wanting to make things ''too'' dark. An examination of the dates involved (contained in the preceding article) however reveal that it's doubtful that Ed Kann even existed and that the whole story is likely a minor {{Creepypasta}}. Additionally, in comments on [[http://rainwoodworks.blogspot.com/2010/09/secret-of-evermore-was-one-of-my.html#comment-form this article]], ''Secret of Evermore'' producer Alan Weiss states that if the supposed Ed Kann ever worked for their team, he would have known, as he personally hired every member and there was no such person among them.
