Trivia[]
- The scene where the airplane almost crashes through the Central Towers but flies to the skies just in time is based on the major event from September 11, 2001. It even contains a message on the sky saying, "NEVER FORGET. THAT'S THE TRUTH.", which is also the quote Xion (from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) said before dying. This scene was removed from the European version, however, and was replaced by something else.
