Oh, that's interesting. Wish you could remember what game it was!
Thinking of glitches in RPGs, I did perform the weird FFIII Relm Sketch bug. You get a lot of cool stuff out of it... but also a lot of junk, and you have to be careful, because you might lose an important item, or Edgar's best weapon, the Chainsaw. (That's what happened to me.)
I never used the Vanish/Doom/X-Zone trick, though.
There is an interesting bug in Dragon Warrior III as well: the Parry-Fight sequence. If you choose to parry, then go back and choose fight, you will get the benefit of the added defense and be able to take an action. This works for everyone but your last party member. It can be very, very helpful.

It can be very, very helpful. This sounds pretty similar to the X-Item bug in FF7, where the game does something based on a decision that isn't locked in prematurely. In 7, you could pick your first item with X-Item (Lets you use two items with the same turn), and then cancel that item out. The game never subtracts the first item, but upon cancelling the first item, it refunds it! This lets you max out on Elixir, which makes farming Magic Pots a breeze, and leads to easily being able to max level Materia. There's another pretty neat FF7 bug I managed to accidentally find myself back in the day. In the final dungeon, you get the chance to send unused party members down 2 of the 3 paths in the dungeon. You are then meant to travel the third route, and upon meeting up at the end of the paths, your other party members will have opened the treasure chests on their way through the other paths. However, if you load the screen in which all of your party members are standing, and then double back to explore the other routes, you can actually go open all the chests, and THEN still get the items they collected, essentially duplicating all the items in those chests. One of those items happens to be Mythril armor, easily the best armor in the game, and armor of which normally only two are available, meaning this bug can let you equip your entire party of three with the best armor! Its oddly a glitch that seems pretty likely for a player to find, since you'd naturally hit the end screen off of one path, and are pretty likely to want to double back, since the game doesn't actually tell you that your party members are going to loot all the chests. That very clear "Final Screen" is the point where I'd always double back anyways, and I wasn't even sure I'd done a glitch when I returned and they handed me a bunch of items.
