Just noticed something about the ending

Not sure if this is worth a thread, but activity is low on here these days and I wanted to write this down and share it before I forgot.
So when Elle hears a knock on the door, she wonders who it could be since it's almost midnight. Or in other words, almost 12.
That's probably no coincidence. We went back from the 13th hour, which must not exist, back to the 12th hour, i.e. a normal time. The world's balanced again.
Only noticed that by playing the Japanese version (finally got to experience Terranigma in 60Hz on original hardware) where the only thing I could read was the number 12
Not sure if this is boring or blows your mind, but I thought it was pretty neat.

if this is really the case in the japanese version my guess is it's no accident. nice find! it would be a nice tie in to the whole scenario we had going on in the 90s with the "it's 4 seconds to 12" thing.
