This chest appears behind the tree up to the top of the leaves and is more visible when they move. I think this chest also appears in the PSX version and I have always wanted to know if it can be accessed in some way and what it contains because what if it were? An error, those at Somoga would have removed it, however it remains there in lssstouch too
I feel like I vaguely remember seeing this but completely forgot about it.
But nope, definitely a chest. ...I wonder if anyone's gone into the game data to figure out if it's an actual chest (instead of just the sprite image) and what it contains?
That sounds like a debugging thing. Set the chest at the very beginning of the game and have it capable of replaying cutscenes and taking the protagonist anywhere.

"Ye ar the more unwyse, for the scawberde ys worth ten of the swerde; for whyles ye have the scawberde uppon you, ye shall lose no blood, be ye never so sore wounded. Therefore kepe well the scawberde allweyes with you." --- Le Morte Darthur, Sir Thomas Malory
