Really old FFVII question I forgot about

Um...I know it's been four years, and everything, but...I sort of forgot about this. It's been bugging me, though. This isn't a gameplay or plot question, it's more nitpicking on my part.
While the credits are rolling at the end, with the text and all, did anyone see these weird "glitchies"? You know, the thin rectangles of meaningless color that show when you screw something up really badly? I played through FFVII four times, and each time the credits got shot through with these things. My friend says his version doesn't have anything like that.
Of course, I'm also the only person I know who actually stares transfixed at the screen while the names of people he'll never know flash by. Just me, I guess.

Neva seen anything of the sort! But I do have a FF8 question. Where can I get Energy Crystals QUICKLY. I have spent ages walking around one or two screens above the shop in Esthar AFTER the moon mission and have yet to find one single Elevorwostsit. I hear that you can rarely recieve Energy Crystals from Ruby Dragons? Do you think I should look for em on the Island Closest to Hell or Heaven? Please help..... Oh yeah, and before getting Eden, should I be Lv. 100?

Make all your time last.....it may be the last time you can!

there's a crazy soldier you can talk to in Esther...if you talk to him, he turns into some kinda monster w/ energy crystals. He's always there, i don't exactly remember where he is, but just try talking to a crazy soldier sitting down in Esther.

Yup, the crazy soldier dude in Esthar will get you into an encounter with an Enyole. When you get off the Ragnarok at the airstation, go to the upper path and then turn right, and he should be somewhere around there (kinda vague I know, just take the upper route). One helpful tip for beating the Enyole really quickly is this....Junction Zombie onto one or more of your characters status attack. After a few tries the zombie will take effect (Enyole has a high resistance to it, but it shouldn't take too many tries to make him a zombie). Then all you have to do is give him a pheonix down or a full-life, and he will die instantly

. Fight smarter, not harder....

How about this: Why are there two CG models for Sephiroth? One looks anime-ish, the other looks more realistic (it's mostly in the hair). I personally like 'em both.
A friend said the anime model might be a remnant from the old days when Squaresoft was making the game for N64, but he was just guessing.
And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm comparing the FMV from the Nibelheim flashback with, say, the ending or Aeris' [OLD non-spoiler] death. [/spoiler(?)]

Damn! It's been so long since I last played FF7 (beat the ending a couple of months ago just for fun though). From what I remember there wasn't too much of a difference between the Sephiroth Character Models in the FF7 FMV'S...Compare the two images below for a visual reference...

From those two pics, one from Nibelheim, and one from Aeris Death, there really doesn't seem to be much of a difference.~moondust~

Where are the pics?
Anyway, the differences were mostly in the hair, like I said. The Nibelheim CG model's hair was almost completely smooth, while you could make out individual strands later on. That, and the eyes were larger in the flashback, the skintone was fixed farther into the game, the shadows were more realistic, and the character was more REAL overall.
