Line 10:
* [[Complete Monster]]: While most antagonists are ordinary people who are either sympathetic, flawed or simply greedy and power-hungry, the following strongly lean in [[Complete Monster|this direction]]:
** Folmarv/Vormav is an incredibly vile piece of work. {{spoiler|Turns out he's the one orchestrating all of the bloodshed to revive the fallen Ultima}}. It's implied that he was originally bad to begin with, but [[It Got Worse]] after {{spoiler|he merged with Hashmal. Really, abusing and then murdering his son Isilud? And soon after that, ''bringing Zalbag back as a possessed Undead and pitting him against his brother Ramza''? What a little}}... And while a lesser on, he also broke Ovelia's spirit by revealing that {{spoiler|she's only a commoner brought up as a substitute for the ''real'' Princess Ovelia}}. There was ''no'' [[Pragmatic Villainy|pragmatic]] cause for that last one... it was just sadistic, petty and cruel.
** {{spoiler|Dycedarg
** Grand Duke Barinten/Barrington, for his treatment of [[Rape as Backstory|Rapha/Rafa]] and [[Tyke Bomb|Marach/Malak]], deserves this title... especially since, as an ordinary human (unlike [[Exclusively Evil|the Lucavi]]), his crimes stand out as really heinous. Hell, his [[Ambition Is Evil|desire to seize the Ivalice throne]] is arguably the ''weakest'' of his crimes.
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: [[Level Grind]] enough and you might run into the following enemies:
** A veritable army of Chocobos: the yellow ones heal HP damage, the
** An enemy party of eleven Monks, some of whom have the ability to revive their fallen allies instantly without using MP and pick you off from afar.
** Behemoths, who have a one-hit KO ability.
Line 20:
** Dragons, whose [[Breath Weapon]] can hit from two squares away.
** Tiamats, who can pelt you with repeated dosages of fire or lightning.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Averted by Argath/Algus. It seems that no one likes him because he's a bigoted, stuck-up [[Jerkass]]. Doubles as [[Catharsis Factor]] when you both kill him at the end of Chapter 1, {{spoiler|and again midway through Chapter 4 in the War of the Lions release}}.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Wiegraf and Zalbaag are both rather popular with fans, who would've ''loved'' for either one (or even better, ''both'') to join the player party permanently.
** Agrias Oaks is this for the main party. Helped by being one of the more developed characters who joins the party.
** Despite having no personalities or even individual portraits to speak of, Lavian and Alicia - Agrias'
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: Ramza and Agrias are a very popular couple in fanfictions and donjons. Even ''Final Fantasy Record Keeper'' makes a small tease in one of Agrias' Soul Breaks.
* [[First Installment Wins]]: While ''Final Fantasy Tactics Advance'' and ''Final Fantasy Tactics A2'' absolutely have their fans and defenders, the overall consensus is that the original was something unique. It's very common, for instance, to have people name the original ''Final Fantasy Tactics'' as their favorite game in the ''entire series'' (not the ''Tactics'' [[Gaiden
* [[Game Breaker]]:
** The Special Units as a whole, but more specially:
*** Orlandeau/Orlandu a.k.a. "Thunder God Cid", who not only has ungodly stats, and knows just about all the sword abilities of several Special Units (Agrias, Gaffgarion and Meliadoul, to be precise) right off the bat, but also comes with with legendary equipment such as ''Excalibur'' free of charge. And you don't have to go to any extra effort to ''get'' him: he just gets dropped into your lap about
*** Speaking of Orlandeau, his equipment can turn the normally powerful but not overly powerful Agrias and Meliadoul into game breakers. Auto-Haste from Excalibur, plus the best armor (by a LOT) in the game gives them the same attack, speed and defense power as Orlandeau himself, just with slightly less versatility in Sword Techs.
** The problem doesn't lie in skillset and equipment. The problem lies in the fact that Orlandu's exclusive starting class stats is the second best in the game, higher than even the class that have [[Infinity+1 Sword]] like requirements.
Line 97:
** [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Defeat {{spoiler|Dycedarg}}'s Elder Brother!<ref>To explain why this is a [[Blind Idiot Translation]], the game instructs you to kill Dycedarg's older brother, which most people assume to be Zalbaag... however, when showing the target, Dycedarg is highlighted, and Zalbaag is ''on your side''. Not to mention that Dycedarg is ''Zalbaag's'' elder brother. Given that both are brothers of Ramza, it's easy to suppose that the intended meaning was more like "Defeat Your Elder Brother Dycedarg".</ref>
