History Trivia / BreathOfFireIII

* NamesTheSame: Teepo. Are we talking about the game's brood thief, or [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia Elize Lutus' plushie and booster companion]]? They're both purple, too!

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The character artist for the first two games and a long-time Capcom artist until 2011, Tatsuya Yoshikawa, was heading ''III'''s designs, and the concepts of Ryu, Teepo and Nina [[https://i.imgur.com/vJxtGBM.png can be found online]] as drastically different looks from their artwork for the final game. However, he opted to change his art style significantly for the game mid-development. This resulted in the notorious OffModel assets for the final game, as these three in particular still use the concepts for their map designs from before the swap, while carrying the party portrait images post-swap.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The Prima Official guide has a section for strategies on the bosses, and some have pictures of them. However, instead of the Weretiger being displayed in its dedicated section, it was Ryu's Hybrid tiger form.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Thanks to a ManualMisprint in the [=BradyGames=] player's guide for the game, it is claimed that [[SiblingTeam Balio and Sunder]] could be beaten on their first encounter in Cedar Woods, which is sadly not the case, because this battle is actually a HopelessBossFight. One player tried making attempts to try to beat Balio and Sunder, taking days of LevelGrinding, and nearly burned the game to death while trying to beat them, even when left overnight or with a Game Genie code!
