=== [[
* The game's ending FMV shows the Warrior of Light walking towards Cornelia Castle in a camera angle mirroring the opening of the original game.
* The Warrior of Light's [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]] "Fang" magic attacks are named after items that cast elemental magic. If you look closely when he attacks with them, you can see he's actually throwing an item into the air, not casting the spell himself.
** Of course, all of those are Black Magic, and the Warrior of Light is a Fighter/Knight, who had no access to it in the original.
* The Warrior of Light's [[Victory Pose]] when confronting Garland and ending his EX Burst mirrors the original artwork of the Knight.
* When you find the Bahamut summon in the Warrior's storyline in ''Dissidia 012'', Bahamut says "Long has it been since men of courage have stood before me.", the same thing he said when granting you your [[Prestige Class]] in the first game.
* Garland's sword has five forms, and aside from the base greatsword each form references one of the Four Fiends and their elemental attack that Chaos is able to use in the final battle of the original game--the whip is used when casting Tsunami (Kraken), the twin swords are used for Blaze (Marilith), the Lance is used for Tornado (Tiamat), and the axe is used for Earthquake (Lich). His Flare attack in ''012'' retains the base greatsword form, reflecting that Flare was not used by any of the Fiends and is [[Non
* Garland is fought as the first and last boss of the Warrior's story, just as in ''Final Fantasy'' (okay, he transformed into Chaos for that last battle, but still).
* When taunting the Warrior of Light, Garland's line "You will meet your end here, and I will live forever!" is a paraphrase of what Chaos says before the final battle.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* In the cutscene before the second Garland battle in the Warrior's chapter, he briefly assumes a pose used in one of Amano's concept pieces of the Knight.
=== [[
* Firion's fighting style reflects the entire battle system and the different weapon types - swords, bows, lances, daggers, axes, staffs, shields, and barehanded.
* His knives are charged with electricity. Leila, the character who fought with knives in the game, joined the party with the [[Shock and Awe|Thunder Spell]].
* Whenever Firion fires an arrow, the bow flips forward, the same animation for bows in the original game.
* Firion's interactions with Shiva are an impossible to miss reference to his seduction by the Lamia Queen. The guy will [[Never Live It Down]].
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* The Emperor's perfect EX Burst, Entice, is a reference to the Lamia Queen boss, who uses the same skill to...[[Never Live It Down|seduce]] and [[Standard Status Effects|confuse]] Firion. [[Unfortunate Implications|Um...]]
=== [[
* The Onion Knight's swords take their appearance from the concept art of the Unnamed Warrior. His pose when finishing his Ninja EX Burst is, you guessed it, also from concept art.
* Open up the other menus during his EX Burst--every other item, spell and weapon you see is something from the original game.
Line 32 ⟶ 29:
* When using her EX Burst, and in the Onion Knight's EX Burst, the Cloud of Darkness poses in the same way as her original sprite was positions. Particularly notable for her since all other characters just use their "idle" poses when Onion Knight uses his EX Burst on them.
=== [[
* Cecil's pose when using Soul Eater and his Darkness attack during his EX Burst are based on his sprite's pose when using the attack, that is holding the sword up over his left shoulder.
* Cecil calls out "light and darkness cast aloft" when ending his EX Burst, a quote from the Mysidian Legend.
Line 46 ⟶ 42:
* His Cosmic Ray is based on his cutscene attack where he knocks party members aside with lightning blasts from his hand.
=== [[
* Bartz's EX Burst opening is the exact same animation as the Spellblade ability--he raises his arms, his swords fly out in four directions, turn into orbs of energy, and flow back into him.
* Similarly, the animation for Goblin Punch is the same too, and features the same blue diamonds and star graphics.
Line 61 ⟶ 56:
* The job cards of the Duel Colosseum and Labyrinth are based on the game's [[Job System]], the latter having every job class from the game aside from the Game Boy Advance-exclusive jobs. The abilities are based off an ability the job teaches in ''V'', and the images on the cards are based off of the appearance of the job in this game (more noticeable with jobs with inconsistent looks, like the Blue Mage and Chemist)
=== [[
* Terra's EX Mode bonus description reads that she "embraces the spirit of a magus"--in the original game the Dualcast ability was attached to the Soul of Thamasa accessory.
* The unique accessory Terra wears when Kefka controls her is the Puppeteer's Wheel, a mistranslation of the Slave Crown she wore in the original game.
Line 68 ⟶ 62:
* Her relationship with Vaan and Onion Knight are a collective reference to Locke.
* Aside from Flood and Thundara, all of Terra's attacks are spells she or Celes could learn naturally.
* All of Kefka's attacks are attacks he uses in the final battle, though his [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]] spells are given wacky twists.
* ''Many'' of his one-liners from the original game made it in:
** "Don't think you've won this!" and "Graaah! I'll remember this!" are from his defeat at Narshe.
Line 79 ⟶ 73:
* Kefka catches Kuja planning to sneak Zidane and his friends behind enemy lines and interrupts them, claiming it was Kuja's plan to lead them there and betray them all along. He pulled the exact same stunt on Celes and Locke in the Magitek Research Facility.
=== [[
* The camera angles in Cloud's confrontation with Sephiroth mirror many of their battles in other games--[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100924201130/finalfantasy/images/d/d9/CloudSephDissidiaComparisons.JPG see here] for a comparison.
* All of Cloud's limit breaks appear as attacks.
* The "Allure of Honey" equipment set refers to the infamous Wall Market cross-dressing scene--the Sexy Colonge, Member's Card, Blonde Wig and Silk Dress were the best items you could find for the subquest.
* The gateway that Cloud confronts Sephiroth in in ''012'' is at Mount Gulg, a circular mountain in a field of snowy peaks--it's the Northern Crater!...okay technically Mount Gulg is in the south, but the point is the same.
* Two cross-company gags, Tifa has an attack called "[[Super Smash Bros.|Falcon Dive]]", and her Premium Heart gloves have the [[Kingdom Hearts]] logo on them.
* Tifa begins her EX Burst by landing on the "back wall" and jumping off to kick her opponent, the same move she made when fighting Loz.
* Sephiroth's "Oblivion" is the attack he begins his [[
* Hell's Gate is the attack he used to kill Aerith. This was taken to its logical usage in ''012'' where the AI is specifically programmed to use Hell's Gate on Aerith when she's called as an Assist to use Holy.
* His victory quote "Know your place" is taken from his [[
* Aerith's pose when casting Cure is the same pose as when casting magic in the original game.
=== [[
* Squall's magic focuses on lightning and ice spells, referring to his two intial Guardian Forces, Shiva and Quezacotl.
* Squall's line "I refuse to become the past" refers to his reaction to how the party talks about Seifer when they hear he supposedly died, "I won't have anyone talk about me in the past tense".
Line 106 ⟶ 98:
* Her line when using Hell's Judgement, "absolute denial! End of existence." is taken from her introduction in the final battle, "time shall compress. All existence denied."
=== [[
* All of Zidane's Trance skills from the original game appear as attacks.
* His intro to Shantotto is "if I win, you owe me a date", a reference to his bet with Garnet that she owes him a date if he wins the Festival of the Hunt.
Line 116 ⟶ 107:
* Kuja's pose when using Ultima and ending his EX Burst is the same one he took when he destroyed Terra with Ultima.
=== [[
* The rivalry of the characters with the Emperor is one giant reference to Seymour.
* Tidus's HP attacks are his Overdrives.
Line 130 ⟶ 120:
* One of his introductory quotes and a battle taunt is to tell his opponent not to cry, a remark he often directed at Tidus.
=== [[
* All of Shantotto's HP attacks are "Ancient Magic", a special set of powerful spells that give the target an elemental weakness. The order Shantotto's spells chain--Fire -> Water -> Thunder -> Earth -> Wind -> Ice--is the order you'd cast them in in an ideal scenario, because the next spell in the chain is effective against against the last.
* When Shantotto loses she turns into a doll, referring to a event battle where the player can duel Shantotto, but it turns out to be a doll she brought to life to fight in her place.
Line 139 ⟶ 128:
* Prishe's quotes when using Nullifying Dropkick and EX Revenge are shortened quotes from when she uses Nullifying Dropkick and Auroral Uppercut in the original game--"you can't stop the tide of mortal existence!" to "you can't stop it!" and "time for a taste of knuckle sandwich a la Prishe!" to "knuckle sandwich a la Prishe!"
=== [[
* Vaan's HP attacks are all Concurrences.
* Each of Vaan's weapons appears identical to how it looked in the original game--his base weapons are the weakest equipment types of their classes, and his EX Mode weapons are the strongest.
Line 150 ⟶ 138:
* Gabranth's victory quote "even a stray has pride" is what he says when he attacked Vayne.
=== [[
* All of Lightning's HP attacks are attacks either she or Odin use when she summons him. The button commands to input attacks in her EX Burst are the same commands used to attack in the original game.
* The ability of Lightning's EX Mode to instantly Break opponents low on Bravery is based on the Omega Weapon's Quick Stagger ability, which staggers opponents once their stagger gauge is 90% full.
Line 158 ⟶ 145:
* Lightning's exclusive weapons reflect the weapon upgrade system of the original game--the Blazefire Saber is traded to buy the Flamberge, which is traded for the Omega Weapon;, and td the Axis Blade trades for the Enkindler.
