Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls Hint: Kingdom Hearts
Not really anything special, a reference to Kingdom Hearts. On the 27th Floor of the Whisperwind Cove is a boy in “toy Town” (the place with all the houses, in and out) The character with blonde hair says, “I’ve Been having these weird thoughts lately..”. Just like the Intro to Kingdom Hearts.

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls Hint: Pravoka Point of Peril
When Playing FFI, you can travel east and then north of Pravoka to a little pinnacle where you can fight monsters that are much harder to beat and aren’t supposed to be found until later in the game. This little cheat/glitch thing was carried over from the original Final Fantasy.
Editor’s Note: Save the game before you try this, or get wiped on the bottom of a Giant’s butt.
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls Hint: Get Rat Tail Using Canoe
It’s best you follow this hint if you’ve played the NES version or had at least one playthrough for FF1 on Dawn of Souls since known landmarks are used.
After defeating the Lich in the Earth Cave, the party can speak with the Circle of Sages in the town of Crescent Lake for a canoe; with it, the party can now cross river terrain.
Take the ship out of the Aldimeer (Aldi Sea) then north to the island where the Castle of Ordeal is. Enter the river terrain and then get on land to access the castle. Note that the enemies here are probably more powerful than low and mid-level parties can withstand, so come prepared.
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls Easter Egg: Link is Dead
