When the player selects a number, they'll be taken to the battle preparation screen, and be prompted to form two parties of up to four units each.

The player can access everyone in the game, including every generic units, monsters, and non-player characters like Marcel and the Lucavis. The only side effect from using this option is that it overwrites the current party config the player previously had.
==Incomplete Option 1==
The fourth invisible option is incomplete and buggy, choosing this option will make a message in Japanese appear at the top of the screen, before the game freezes.
==Incomplete Option 2==
The fifth and last invisible option in the debug menu is also incomplete and buggy. When the player picks any of the present options, a submenu in gibberish will appear. Choosing any of the options in any of these submenus will have the same effect as selecting location 001 in the Battle Location Selector menu. It is unknown on how many options there are, but from fifth option and above, they all do the same thing.
