SQUARE STAFF

Hidden away in the dwarf city in FF4 is a room where you can meet - and fight - members of the games development team...

Akihiko Matsui -- Hiromi Nakada -- Hiroyuki Ito -- Katsuhisa Higuchi -- Kazuhiko Aoki -- Kitase Yoshinori -- Tetsuya Takahashi

AKIHIKO MATSUI, HIROMI NAKADA, HIROYUKI ITO, KATSUHISA HIGUCHI, KAZUHIKO AOKI, KITASE YOSHINORI, TETSUYA TAKAHASHI

All named after Squaresoft employees (fittingly, most of them worked on the battle system). They're also pallette swaps of other monsters - most likely monsters that resemble the staff members, or pehaps just personal favourites.

Akihiko Matsui worked on battle design and resembles a mini magician; Hiromi Nakada was a lead graphics artist and resembles a lamia; Hiroyuki Ito worked on battle design and resembles a sorcerer; Katsuhisa Higuchi was a battle programmer and resembles a bomb; Kazuhiko Aoki worked on battle design and resembles a captain; Tetsuya Takasashi worked on battle graphics and resembles a fraud puppet. I'm unable to find what Kitase Yoshinori did, but he's worked as a producer and director on other games and resembles an ogre.
