Square Enix recently shared new information about a Final Fantasy X Blitzball Easter egg included in Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion and its original release. It involves various Gun Bull Head robot enemies in Crisis Core: FFVII being named after Final Fantasy X Blitzball players. These enemies can be found during the sniper minigame in Chapter 9.
The original Japanese tweet shared by the FFVII Remake Twitter account reads as follows:
“Surely many of you have recognized before the names of the Gun Bull Heads during the sniping section in Nibel Plains.
Several of them are named after Blitzball players in FFX!
Today (July 19) is the day that #FF10 was released back in 2001!
Congratulations!”

ニブル平原で狙撃する偵察用ガンブルヘッドの名前に見覚えがあった方も多いんじゃないでしょうか？👀
何体かの名前は『FFX』に登場したブリッツボールの選手の名前が元になっているんですよ！ 🤽♂️🌊今日は、#FF10 が2001年に発売された日！🎊
おめでとうございます！🎂✨#クライシスコア pic.twitter.com/OwRZJAhwym— FFVII REMAKE (@FFVIIR_CLOUD) July 19, 2023
The sniper minigame occurs during Chapter 9 on the Nibel Plains, and shortly after the Nibelheim escape section of the game. In it, Zack has to defeat several Gun Bull Head robots before they flee and alert Shinra troops. While the tweet shared the Japanese names of the Gun Bull Heads, the localized English names of the robots coincide with the names of the Blitzball players in FFX.
The previous Crisis Core: FFVII bit of information shared by Square Enix relates to the Turks, and their tasks within Shinra.
Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion is immediately available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
