Why would they name it "excuse me" (sumimasen)? Is this like "MissingNumber" in Pokemon? Leftovers of something the programmers were working on but decided to drop?
@RockSprites From a programming perspective I suspect this is the default (exception) battle. If the part of code that launches a battle doesn't find the baddie you're meant to be fighting, it takes you to this battle. You usually write things like this to debug a program when you're testing it so that rather than crashing, you are able to find out what made the game crash and then fix it. Often those exceptions stay in the final release but just aren't seen, simply because the bugs were fixed.
OMG this exact thing has happened to me once before!! I think this only occurs if something's wrong with your game though (corrupt disc, bad installation, etc).
I'm always intruiged by information about development and so-forth, like this. I want to be a part of a project like that @.@
However, this "test Zero" super monster that's not in the U.S. version I doubt. They probably wouldn't make a creature like this really powerful and give a bunch of experience or anything and then bother to go and make it not so in other versions.
Powerful? How? Just because it has a whole bunch of HP doesn't make it powerful. It doesn't even attack! It was one of several monsters that were used for testing the battle system.
the point of sumimasen is to test the game, while they were making it any errors in the game would send the user to the sumimasen screen which told them that there was an error. Usually when you get this screen you have aeris, cloud and sephiroth in the battle and they are not the ones corresponding to your party
Ah, Sumimasen makes you fight the last battle you were in. When you start the game from Windows, you haven't fought anything yet, and it defaults to this. And this monster is what remains of Test Zero.
a monster that was putted in Japanese version (or so I heard) that's supposed t give you lots of gil and EXP (or so I heard) but in the american version it was taken out (again or so I heard)
error pyramid: "if you found this message then please call staff"
but Cloud starts to rage and uses Omnislash

I find this creepy as hell for some reason. Why not to make a simple error screen?

Or, y'know, you use an editor to access it. Like me.

If you're using the JENOVA editor then you can just pick the Sumimasen! as a location. It's got no skill or talent what so ever to get it there.
