Mist's weapon shop is open and sells advanced weapons the player is not meant to obtain yet.

If the player returns to Mist, they can find Rydia's mother lying on the ground motionless, but there is nothing they can do with her, as the Mist event does not trigger when entering the town from the right side. During the night soldiers enter the town and Cecil fends them off, only now Kain is also in the party. If the player continues to the desert town of Kaipo where Cecil is supposed to take the unconscious Rydia, the event where Cecil takes her to the inn still happens with Rydia appearing out of nowhere. By skipping Mist Kain does not leave the party and Cecil never meets Rydia. With this glitch, it is possible to avoid visiting the town of Mist when Cecil and Kain are meant to deliver a package there at the beginning of the game. Then, if the player saves the game and resets it, the game's collision detection will be off by another tile, allowing the player to bypass the town of Mist altogether.

If the player then uses a Tent, the game's collision detection is off by a tile by the time normal gameplay resumes. While moving on the world map in the SNES version, if the player presses very quickly, the player can enter the menu while the character is mid-transition.
