Final Fantasy XIII-2/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Casting Gag]]:

** The voice actress for Mog in both Japanese and English (Sumire Morohoshi and [[Ariel Winter]], respectively) shares the voice for characters in other [[Square Enix]] works: [[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Anime)|Marlene Wallace]] and [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|young Kairi]], who are also cute, small characters.

** '''Weapons:''' (Can be obtained from Chocolina's shop for 0 gill once purchased. Improved versions of these weapons become available throughout the game once you buy them.)

* [[Mythology Gag]]:

** The [[Myth Arc]] concerning the birth of the fal'Cie, directly parallels the story of Noah and his disciples in ''[[Final Fantasy III (Video Game)|Final Fantasy III]]''. Pulse gets the power to create magical beings and shape the world as he sees fit, Lindzei gains the power to guard the unseen realm of the divine, and Etro gets {{spoiler|nothing, and floods the world in darkness as an act of sorrow and revenge. This is in addition to trying to seek out a force of nature that models itself in the image of a female deity.}}

** Feral Links and the enemy crystal capturing system appear to be refinations of the Oversoul system and ability to recruit monster units from ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X -2]] International + Last Mission.''

** Time travel [[Final Fantasy (Franchise)|has been used before.]] [[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Four]] [[Final Fantasy XI (Video Game)|times]] [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|actually.]]

** {{spoiler|Kaias stabbing Noel in the back seems very familiar.}} [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|A little too familiar.]]

** [[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Terra Branford]] is briefly mentioned in one of Captain Cryptic's quiz questions. Given who [[Dave Wittenberg|the Captain]] [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|is voiced by]], it is also extremely ironic as well as extremely hilarious.

** The first event players see when the story begins proper is of a [[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Pink haired girl witnessing a meteor fall from the sky, then she is attacked by monsters when she sets out to investigate, only to be saved by a travelling fighter dressed in blue.]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:

** [[Liam O 'Brien|Kain's gotta get rid of the contradictions in the timeline.]] [[Persona 3|He also liked to box at one point, but still has the same little sister hang up.]] Oh, and he's [[Monster (Animemanga)|Dr. Tenma]].

** Also, Captain Cryptic is [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Kefka Palazzo]], which makes a certain quiz question of his extremely hilarious knowing that.

** [[John Dimaggio]] reprising his role as Gilgamesh? '''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|OUTRAGEOUS!]]'''

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx_1XzRkhcg Boss Battle theme] (in which Lightning fights off against Chaos Bahamut [[Rule of Cool|while riding Odin in Gestalt Mode]]) is the same as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfu0XBf8kmk Main Battle theme] ("Blinded by Light") from ''[[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII]]'', except remixed slightly differently. Their introductions, however, start off exactly the same way.

* [[Shout -Out]]: When fighting Lieutenant Amodar, at certain times in the battle, he will use the [[Street Fighter|Shun Goku Satsu]] on you. The button commands for his [[Limit Break|Feral Link]] (which is the same move) also use Akuma's common input command for the move.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Typhon was slated to be a [[Summon Magic|War God]] in ''[[Final Fantasy Type-0 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy Type-0]]'' but left out, presumably to be used for this game.
