In the Confessions of the Creator Scenario, the Curses and Hopes of Yore Gateway is located in the area the Sage's Cave was located in the original Final Fantasy. The gateway houses a five floor dungeon leading up to a fight with Shantotto, and in the game's story acts as a portal to an alternate dimension where Shantotto ended up after escaping the cycle of war and now conducts magical experiments.

Shantotto's sound files in the Theater refer to the gateway as "Sage's Path", possibly a name for the gateway earlier in development that was not changed on the sound file names when the gateway was renamed.
