Trivia

 * Snow is a warrior of Spiritus despite being a hero through Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2. This is because Dissidia NT takes his role and appearance from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, where he had an antagonistic role for the Yusnaan storyline.
 * Despite this, Snow appears as a representative for Final Fantasy XIII, not for the second sequel.
 * Snow is the only hero to become a villain in Dissidia NT. Terra, Cloud, and Tidus once became villains in Duodecim. This is in contrast to Kuja and Jecht changing sides during NT’s campaign.
 * Snow appeared in Opera Omnia before appearing in NT.
 * He is the second character to appear in the gaiden prior to joining the main series to date but, unlike Vayne, he was already playable before joining the cast of NT.
 * He is also the only character to have two affiliations in the two different canons, as in Opera Omnia he aligns with Materia.
 * His appearance in Opera Omnia is based on Final Fantasy XIII, he later on got his Lightning Returns outfit in Opera Omnia as an extra costume.
 * Snow is the second character in Dissidia NT whose basic appearance is based on their appearance in a later game, while his debut attire is an alternate costume. The first character to do this was Kam'lanaut.
