Line 570:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: During the Garden festival at Fisherman's Horizon, after meeting up with Rinoa, Squall [[Lampshade Hanging|comments]] that everyone is trying to get them together and that it's so obvious even he can tell.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Fujin
* [[Shout-Out]]: Great Salt Lake.
** Another shout-out occurs in music form: the final boss music, "The Extreme", contains a call-back to the original Final Fantasy battle music.
** On the music example, the beginning of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czn2_ngX6_k the final dungeon theme] is very similar to the third segment of Dancing Mad from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.
*** Doomtrain isn't terribly different from the [[Final Fantasy VI|GhostTrain / Phantom Train]] either. And by that, it has a freakin' ghost face and looks undead enough.
*** Triple Triad may be a reference to the Warring Triad in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.
** Ultemecia's design was actually a [[Shout-Out]] to Yoshitaka Amano's artstyle. You can definitely see the features - white hair, lipstick, eyeliner...
** Lunatic Pandora likewise has sequences very similar to music from the Moon in [[Final Fantasy IV]]. Appropriate, considering that it was designed to call down monsters from the moon. Likewise, when the monster's are ready to drop the moon grows red. This same feature is shared by the corrupted moon of IV.
** The blue Galbadian uniforms resemble the SOLDIER uniform from [[Final Fantasy VII]]. They're even issued with Buster Swords.
** Zell's final weapon is quite appropriately named for a [[Fighting Game]], [[Ehrgeiz]].
** The jaunty polka tune from peacetime-Dollet is reused for [[2001: A Space Odyssey|the Esthar moonbase.]]
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: Biggs and Wedge
* [[Sidequest]] It is an RPG.
