As far as I know it is the first official game that you can play as Sephiroth (imagine the reaction of FFVII fans back then :D ). I know I went as far as using gameshark to play as Sephiorth in FFVII.
And a FAQ on GameFAQs was claiming that the author had "an uncle" working at Square, and it was possible to play as Zack in FFVII. And you could do it by getting a fucktardly high score in Gold Saucer and some other minigames. Imagine the rumors and shit people were going thru just to extract, just to squeeze a "bit", something else from the game.
I admit I fell for it but those were the dark days of the Internet. That FAQ stayed up for years.
