Edit: The connection is that they look very slightly similar. At least, 未 probably looks more similar to 事 than any other kanji in their simplified (possibly 8x8) font set.
That's quite an interesting theory, but I've seen very complex kanji in that game. If it didn't fit I think the normal thing to do would just use hiragana. *remembers good old snes days where kanji wasn't even possible haha. The possible reason for it getting repeated everywhere is that they have a table of kanji and they just call the character from that table and voila, duplication.
