Trivia[]
- A Captain's Stripe is awarded to the player after defeating the penultimate boss of the game, Zelos, but as there is no chance to access the menu before continuing onto the last boss and the ending plays immediately after, the player will not get a chance to use it. Furthermore, as Zelos is the final ship battle, there would be no reason to use it anyway.[1]
