The Saw bug in The Final Fantasy Legend concerns the Saw weapon and ability.
Saw is intended to cause Dead on the enemy if the user's strength is greater than the target's defense. For the most part, this would be a useful weapon on most regular enemies owing to their low defense, but comparatively less effective against bosses. However, the formula for the Saw is reversed, meaning that the Saw only works against enemies who have more defense than the player's strength. This renders the weapon largely useless against regular enemies, but high defense bosses become vulnerable to its effect. This includes the Creator final boss and the "undefeatable" version of Su-Zaku so long as the player has not raised their strength to obscene levels.
Final Fantasy XIII Scenario Ultimania mentions that this glitch was paid homage to in the final battle of Final Fantasy XIII, where the final boss is also susceptible to Instant Death.
