Using FF6Tools, a browser-based app for editing Final Fantasy ROM files, I recreated a deleted scene from Final Fantasy VI of Strago confronting Shadow about who he perceives Shadow to be: Clyde, Relm's father.

According to interviews in the June 1995 issue of V jump and the later translation of those interviews as detailed in the Final Fantasy Wiki, the dialogue for this deleted scene would have been as follows:

➝ Strago: I have one request... Show me your face. Even if you are him, I have no intention of wasting time trying to talk you into staying. I just want to know... for Relm's sake...
➝ Shadow: ...... (He takes off his mask and shows Strago his face. However, his back is turned so that the player can't see.)
➝ Strago: Thank you... Shadow. ...Come, let's have a drink.
