Do you guys remember Culex from Super Mario RPG? He was an rather difficult optional boss who summoned elemental crystal guardians and whose battle theme was the FF4 boss theme. Once you beat him, the FF victory fanfare played (the only time you hear it in this game!) and Culex said something cryptic about having possibly met you in another game before.

Do you think Culex was a specific monster or person, reincarnated? Or just a tribute and Easter Egg that Square put in for fun?
