Line 23:
* [[All There in the Manual]]:
** The Datacore system returns, although the main storyline is easier to grasp than 13. Every ending (except the secret ending scene) also grants a fragment that acts as a datacore, expanding on the information granted therein, as well as many fragments dropped from bosses and certain story events, including some surprising ones. For example, the Graviton cores {{spoiler|are actually a temporal [[Message in a Bottle]] from Snow to Serah.}}
** In a more meta sense, the final datacore granted from the final bonus fight of Final Fantasy 13, [https://web.archive.org/web/20150115083834/http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Datalog/Analects#XIII._Fabula_Nova_Crystallis "Fabula Nova Crystallis"], can be interpreted as spelling out 13-2's plot in a very general sense.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: Yaschas Massif and Academia have alternate dimensions that appear as a result of solving paradoxes in other locations, and they are marked with an X in the year name. (Ex. 01X AF) You can still go back to the original version of the area, though.
* [[Always Save the Girl]]:

** For those who finished XIII's postgame, the datacore you get for the final bonus fight, [https://web.archive.org/web/20150115083834/http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Datalog/Analects#XIII._Fabula_Nova_Crystallis "Fabula Nova Crystallis"], definitely has parallels with the 13-2 storyline... {{spoiler|and hints about what may lie beyond "[[To Be Continued]]."}}
** Similarly, the tenth Analect from ''FFXIII'' titled "The Menace Beyond", along with the "Mirror of Atropos" fragment from ''FFXIII-2'', suggest that {{spoiler|a final battle is due to take place in the Thirteenth Ark, which appears late in the game but is conspicuously irrelevant to the plot aside from giving Hope the idea to use Graviton Cores.}}
* [[For Doom the Bell Tolls]]: {{spoiler|In scenes where Lightning is snatched from time and again at the canon ending.}}
Line 355:
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If the player has save data for ''Final Fantasy XIII'' on their HD, the success rate of the slots minigame in Xanadu/Serendipity will be higher. They also unlock several in game items, a theme for your Playstation Dashboard (for [[Play Station 3]]) and a gamer picture (for [[Xbox]] 360).
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Played for ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|funny]]''. {{spoiler|The Miniflans in Sunleth Waterscape 400AF are attempting to destroy the crystal pillar, but they need others to help. Eventually, you have to fight them}}, [[Memetic Mutation|while Square-Enix plays inappropriate music]]. {{spoiler|They are defeated and scolded by Serah in mere minutes.}}
* [[Only Smart People May Pass]]: The Hands of Time Temporal Rifts veer straight into this trope, with players wasting half an hour on one puzzle being a common sight. Thankfully, IGN made a excel spreadsheet that does it for you [https://web.archive.org/web/20120904154910/http://faqs.ign.com/articles/121/1218039p1.html here]. For those willing to look at Japanese, [http://nyusuke.com/game/ff13/ff13-2puzzle.html this page] doesn't require Excel. Just input the number at the top of the "clock" into the spot labeled 0 and go clockwise from there.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Caius's Theme
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Of course, [[Trope Namer|this being]] ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', {{spoiler|Caius can transform himself into a dark dragon called Chaos Bahamut and Jet Bahamut in the final battle.}}
