There was a text file that was hidden deep in the files of the next game in the series, Fantasia of the Forbidden V (2003). It was presumably written by one of the developers, and was essentially an apology letter to those who were dismayed at the previous game.

Bizzarely, the Italian PAL version of the game actually translates the secret message into Italian (instead of simply leaving it in Japanese like the other versions did).
