[[folder:Final Fantasy V]]"[[GenreSavvy Enough expository banter!]] Now, we fight like men! And ladies! [[{{Bifauxnen}} And ladies who dress like men!]] For [[CrazyAwesome Gilgamesh...]] [[PowerRangers IT IS MORPHING TIME!]]" [[hottip:explanation: One of Gilgamesh's very famous quotes.]]

* This guy are sick. [[hottip:explanation: From a bit of the GoodBadTranslation of ''FinalFantasyVII'' (Or ''[[SoBadItsHorrible Bad]]'' [[SoBadItsHorrible Bad Translation]], depending on point of view).]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozAjuxRKo1k Too... many... innuendos...]] [[hottip:explanation: Let's just say that aside from {{Mondegreen}}s and FoeYay, ''Dissidia'' is also infamous for {{Accidental Innuendo}}es.

* '''THE VOID!'''
** A reference to Exdeath's and the Cloud of Darkness' [[CargoShip obsession]] with the Void.
*** '''THE VOID''', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQhfhLht8Q as explained by]] [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Genie]].
* '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHVqUkyQxNI#t=1m26s TURTLE!]]'''
** An alternate sound clip that players can buy after getting Exdeath to Level 100, which randomly activates during his EX Burst. This is a reference to a line Exdeath uttered in his battle with the ancient sage Ghido, [[TurtlePower a turtle]].

*** Funnily enough, this line could also be considered a StealthPun on the concept of turtling, which heavily factors into Exdeath's [[BarrierWarrior play]][[StoneWall style]].
* '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrNXjE0BeS0 TASTY ARROW!]]''' [[EvilLaugh Hwahwahwa!]] '''[[TheUnintelligible DUDUDADA!]]'''
* '''GET THE FRUIT!'''
** Because of the intensity of the battle and the less than perfect pronunciation of the voice actors, ''Dissidia'' has become infamous for {{Mondegreen}}s, many (if not all) have risen to MemeticMutation level.
** '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfINS-aXQcM DURR HURR HURR!]]''' '''[[WhenTreesAttack I'M A TREE!]]'''
** Make sure to pick up the "Naive Weekly!" while in the Almagest sphere! "To asylum beyond!" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8bQXhRpdDw "HRRM!"]]
** Don't forget to hang Garland on the [[JustForPun Ex]]-mas tree! ([[FountainOfMemes Seriously, Exdeath could do this all day]].)
*** Exdeath has, in fact, become so much of a [[FountainOfMemes meme fountain]] since the release of ''Dissidia'' that he now has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuZgMvqIhcY his own fan-made game.]]
** Sephiroth will bring you [[IncrediblyLamePun dis pear.]] (Maybe it's the fruit Exdeath is yelling about?)
*** Nah, it's the Emperor's [[IncrediblyLamePun supper]].
** Ultimecia: "There is no butter for this plane."
*** "[[EverythingsWorseWithBears There is no running from this bear.]]"
** Terra: "Swallow my waters!"
** Gabranth: "'''HATRED IS WOT DRIVES ME!'''"
*** "BUY MY SWORD!" "HOT ROD!"
*** "NO, THIS PAINT!"
** Onion Knight: "[[EvenNerdsHaveStandards Dorks, unite!]]"
** Golbez: "[[ThePowerOfRock Time to rock!]]" "Time to party!" "I win Meteor!" [[hottip:*:The first two correspond to Golbez's Genesis Rock HP Attack, funnily enough in the case of the first line (Golbez actually says, "Time to part."). The latter is [[NeverLearnedToRead people being unable to read the words "Twin Meteor"]], the final attack of Golbez's Perfect [[LimitBreak EX Burst]].]]
** For the record, there's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOx1ghg8CMg more]]''. And that's ''still'' [[BeyondTheImpossible not all of them]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG7lvNkyPZs Might I mention that the mouse is]] '''[[LargeHam SMACK]]'''!
** [[DullSurprise ... dab in the middle of enemy territory.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt1dZz5gANc You've been KEFKAROLL'D!]] [[MonsterClown BAH!]]
** An (unfortunately removed) video mashing up several of Kefka's lines and mannerisms from the [[ShigeruChiba Japanese version]] of ''Dissidia'' with music, in a Rick Roll-esque fashion.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWD2TktjNM8 Starfall]]. [[EvilLaugh My]] [[LargeHam God]]... ''[[DeathOrGloryAttack Starfall]]''.
* Emperor [[strike:'''UBOAR''']] [[strike:'''UNGAAHHH''']] Mateus "[[DavidBowie David]] [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Bowie]]" Palamecia. HEAVUNS!!
** A reference to the Emperor's similar look to Jareth (played by DavidBowie) in ''{{Labyrinth}}'', and making fun of the Emperor's weird death cry when you defeat him. (Which was actually carried over from [[FinalFantasyII his original game]], and became somewhat memetic even back then--among English players, that is. '''UBOA''', the usual romanization of his death cry, has been memetic in Japan for a long time. Either way, though, getting voice actors to scream it made it even funnier.)
** Overlapping with the [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean copious]] amounts of FoeYay in ''Dissidia'' ([[{{FoeYay/Ptitlefjcz80qe}} which is possibly memetic within itself]]), [[http://ra-hime.deviantart.com/art/Dissidia-Foe-Yay-153909307 this sketch]] gives us "'''[[AmbiguouslyGay UNGAAAAAHBULOUS!!]]'''"
* [[MemeticBadass Captain Jecht]]. '''[[CatchPhrase HE'S THE BEST!]]'''
** A reference to Jecht from ''FinalFantasyX'', who is CrazyAwesome incarnate.
** In addition, we have "'''RE[[JustForPun JECHT]]ED!'''" and "'''[[AceAttorney OBJECHTION!]]'''" for whenever Jecht does something badass and simultaneously nullifies ''anything'' that his opponent tries to throw at him.
** Also often sarcastically mutated to refer to his [[AbusiveParents stellar parenting skills]] regarding Tidus.

** LEG CRAMP!
* [[http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/Kerrah_photos/SoYeah.jpg By now]], [[MemeticMolester Kuja should be having his way with Zidane and Bartz]].
** A bit of AccidentalInnuendo (or maybe not so accidental) from ''Dissidia'', in which [[FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]] taunts [[FinalFantasyVIII Squall]] about the [[FinalFantasyV team]][[FinalFantasyIX mates]] he ditched.
* [[MostAnnoyingSound Well now! Well now! Well now!]]
** Kuja's line while dodging in ''Dissidia''.
* [[MostAnnoyingSound Seriously!]]
** Ditto, but replace "Kuja" with "[[FinalFantasyIX Shantotto]]" and "dodging" with "performing Bind".
* [[CivilWar You're]] ''[[CivilWar all]]'' [[CivilWar fucked when]] [[MemeticBadass Gilgamesh]] gets back. Gilgamesh's Army [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome will have their vengeance]]!!!
** A faction of fans proclaiming that everyone will play dearly for excluding [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan-favorite]] Gilgamesh in ''Dissidia''. This is based on the "You're all fucked when the Hulk gets back" meme popular during the Marvel ''CivilWar''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozAjuxRKo1k Too... many... innuendos...]]
** Let's just say that aside from {{Mondegreen}}s and FoeYay, ''Dissidia'' is also infamous for {{Accidental Innuendo}}es.
* [[TookALevelInBadass GARland]].
** Garland [[AdaptationalBadass going from]] the first and ''easiest'' boss in ''FF'' history to a [[LargeHam hickory-smoked]] [[BloodKnight machine]] of death and destruction.
** ChristopherSabat ''[[MemeticBadass will]]'' [[WhosLaughingNow knock you all down.]] (Japanese players can also substitute in KenjiUtsumi if need be.)
*** As an ActorAllusion with a certain scene from ''DragonBall Z'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La_zPCIxA-M we have this.]]
* More recently with the ''Duodecim'' trailers, we have [[FootFocus DEM FEET]].
** From the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLjV7jw8j78 Jump Festa]] trailer for ''Dissidia 012 Duodecim'', where we're given a brief shot of [[FinalFantasyX Yuna]] [[WalkOnWater walking on water]]. Only her lower body is visible, with her bare feet being prominent.
* Also from ''Duodecim'', [[BareYourMidriff DEM ABS]].
** [[FinalFantasyXII Vaan]]'s [[WalkingShirtlessScene notable lack of a shirt]] is slowly attaining meme status. Then again, they were [[OlderThanTheyThink memetically]] ''[[OffModel bad]]'' in ''XII'' due to modeling constraints, so...

When adding to one of the subpages, please follow this format. Not everyone knows where a particular meme came from or how it's used. Even if it's potholed.

* Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
** Source of meme and fandom it relates to.
** Famous instances (such as the Rick Roll during the Thanksgiving parade).
** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.

* Kimi ga Yo (2008-)
** A NicoNicoDouga meme, which involves setting the lyrics of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimigayo Japanese national anthem]] to a medley of the ''DragonQuest'' and ''Final Fantasy'' main themes.
** If you've already heard about it, it's probably because of the infamous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrWgcSi5ACo&feature=related Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga.]]
* "I, Garland, will knock you all down!"
** Garland ([[CaptainObvious big surprise]]) in ''FinalFantasyI'', to the heroes prior to [[WarmUpBoss getting completely thrashed]], a shining example of what happens when NeverSayDie and GoodBadTranslation love each other very much. Like other such lines in the series, this one is kept in later releases/retranslations of the game.
* '''"UBOAAAAAAAAAA"''' or '''"UNGAAAAAHHHH"'''
** [[BigBad The Emperor's]] [[EvilIsHammy death cry]] in ''FinalFantasyII'' ("Uboaa" is the transliteration of the Japanese deathcry, "Ungaahh" is how it has been rendered in English translations). While this more of a Japanese meme, due to 1. a long period of NoExportForYou and 2. the game being poorly regarded ([[NintendoHard for]] [[EmptyRoomPsych many]] [[DemonicSpiders and]] [[SequelDifficultySpike varied reasons]]) in the English fandom, it's still present, especially in recent years with the remakes and ''Dissidia''. It'll probably never be as big as it is in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Japanese fandom]], though, where it's the name of the Emperor's fan club.
*** Interesting addendum: '''"UNGAAAHH"''' is also a meme in ''Japanese'' fandom, due to the magic of the most recent releases of ''FinalFantasyII'' having an option for text in English and ''Dissidia'''s ''[[UpdatedRerelease Universal Tuning]]'' having options for voices/subtitles in English.
* "You {{spoony bard}}!"
** The infamous {{Woolseyism}} when Tellah chews Edward out after his [[LoveInterests love interest]] Anna dies.
** So infamous that when it was "fixed" in the {{PlayStation}} port, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the fans were unhappy about said fix]].
** Referenced in ''FinalFantasyX'', ''FinalFantasyXII'' and the PSP port of ''FinalFantasyTactics.''
** This meme is why Noah Antwiler of TheSpoonyExperiment uses "The Spoony One" as his internet alter ego.
** Occasionally seen as "You Spoony [Other Noun]"
* Another Japanese one: Iidesutomo!
** From ''FinalFantasyIV'', this is Golbez's line when Fusoya urges him to "give his power to Meteor", translated in English as something like "Fine then" or "Very well". How big is this meme in Japan? In ''[=~Dissidia: Final Fantasy~=]'', there was a secret voice file accessible only when the player had a level 100 Golbez, consisting of this line alone.
* [[FinalFantasyVII Aeris]] [[ItWasHisSled dies.]]
** The most famous (and, at the time, spoileriffic) permanent character death in the game.
** Occasionally combines with the "[[HarryPotter Dumbledore dies]]" meme and someone else chimes in with "You son of a bitch!"
* This guy are sick.
** From a bit of the GoodBadTranslation of ''FinalFantasyVII'' (Or ''[[SoBadItsHorrible Bad]]'' [[SoBadItsHorrible Bad Translation]], depending on point of view).
* THERE AIN'T NO GETTIN OFFA THIS TRAIN WE ON!
** [[UncleTomfoolery Barret]], channeling [=~Mr. T~=] in the opening mission.
* SUPERNOVA! Might want to go make a sandwich.
** A dig at the OverlyLongFightingAnimation that has since become endemic to the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
** Also applies to the Knights of the Round summon
* [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Hooray, I win! FTW!]]
** The iconic ''Final Fantasy'' Victory Fanfare, used in the successful completion of any task.
** Given a ShoutOut in ''[[FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Advent Children]]'' as Loz's ring tone.
** Many people have tried to add their own lyrics to the tune.
* Sit down and drink your '''[[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN]] TEA'''!
** One of Cid's lines from ''Final Fantasy VII''.
* "Conflict Resolved!"
** Zack's win quote in ''CrisisCore: Final Fantasy VII''.
* "Is this the end?"; "I'm ''trying'', '''I'M TRYING!'''
* [[{{Nerf}} loldrg]]
** From ''FinalFantasyXI''.
** Later became lolthf and lolpup.

* A Japanese one: [[http://www.jpbutton.com/?p=718 "The fog is so thick I can't see the screen!"]]

* '''HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.'''
** The infamous "fake laughter" scene from ''FinalFantasyX'', intentional StylisticSuck that still garnered a {{Narm}} reaction out of the audience.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihfoAxVRhw NO TIME FOR LOVE. DESKTOP THREAD!]]
** SHOW ME YOUR DESKTOP, BITCH!
* MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN!
** From TheSpoonyExperiment referring to Sabin of ''FinalFantasyVI'', who thanks to a GoodBadBug can indeed use his Suplex move on the Phantom Train, raising Sabin to MemeticBadass levels.
* SON OF A SUBMARINER!
** A {{Woolseyism}} of Kefka's reaction when Edgar orders Figaro Castle to dive into the sand.
* This is sickening! You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet!
** Kefka again, at the final battle, mocking the [[ContemplateOurNavels navel gazing]] that the cast has been doing.
* Don't tease the octopus, kids!
** One of Ultros' memetically memorable lines, often used out of context to refer to NaughtyTentacles.
** On a certain ImageBoard, it became common to post a picture of Ultros (who's known for his weird lines) along with an IncrediblyLamePun where the punchline is always [[spoiler:spoiler marked]].
* HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
** Kefka, yet again, pitching an epic temper tantrum when Celes stabs him.
* Locke is not a thief, he is a ''[[InsistentTerminology TREASURE HUNTER]]''!
** Based on Locke's insistence on his profession. Expect to be corrected anytime you refer to him as a thief.
* "I'M CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBURG OF DALMASCA!", "BASCH LIVES!", and "DON'T LISTEN TO ONDORE'S LIES!"
** ''FinalFantasyXII'' has a hilarious side mission where Vaan raises a clamor to the effect that the character Basch is still alive. He does this by going up to random people on the street and shouting one of the aforementioned lines. Is it any surprise that this attained meme status?
* The people of Ivalice were left with l...i...t...t...l...e... m...o...n...e...y...
** From one of the very first narrations in ''FinalFantasyTactics'' (the ellipses represent unskippable pauses between each letter).
* This was the darkened items won't appear.
** An instance of the terrible translation job in ''Final Fantasy Tactics''.
* I got a good feeling!
** One of the things the generics sent on jobs can report back.
** Given a ShoutOut in ''FinalFantasyXII''.
* Defeat Dycedarg's elder brother!
** The (incorrect) mission objective where you have to defeat Dycedarg himself.
* ANIMALS HAVE NO GOD!
** [[{{Jerkass}} Algus]], expressing his opinion of non-nobles in one of the many, many, MANY moments that will cause the player to hate him.
* FUCK THAT, YOU'RE GOING HOME!
** From ''FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'', this more or less sums up all the CharacterDevelopment that Marche gets through the game, causing people to consider him a DesignatedHero.
* Enough expository banter. Now we fight like men. And ladies. [[SweetPollyOliver And ladies who dress like men.]] For Gilgamesh, [[PowerRangers it's morphing time!]]
** Gilgamesh of ''FinalFantasyV'', a comedic recurring boss where he [[BraggartBoss spouts nonsequiturs]], throws a weak attack at the party, and then runs away.
** Gilgamesh makes cameos in other games as well (including ''FinalFantasyVIII'', ''FinalFantasyXII'', ''[=~Final Fantasy IV: The After Years~=]'', ''Dissidia'', and [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] of the [[FinalFantasyI first]] and [[FinalFantasyVI sixth]] games ''as the same guy''; there are also characters in ''FinalFantasyIX'' and ''FinalFantasyXI'' who share his name); HilarityEnsues.
** Anything with Gilgamesh in it is fodder for comedy gold.
** Nowadays, most forums refer to him as '''[[MemeticBadass GILGAMESH]]'''. Yep, [[NoIndoorVoice all caps]] [[LargeHam is mandatory]].
* Also, though it seems more specific to the ''[=~Dissidia: Final Fantasy~=]'' fandom, '''THE VOID!'''

* '''[[FinalFantasyXIII TOWNS!!!]]'''
* '''[[FanDumb RENONA REWIS!!!]]'''
* Wanna know why everyone hates Jihl Nabaat? BECAUSE YOU DON'T FUCK WITH [[EnsembleDarkhorse SAZH KATZROY]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH!]]
* "[[ActionMom Moms]] [[MamaBear are tough.]]"
** Hope's mother, putting on a brave face before going off to her death.
* ''You think you die and that's it?! You think you die and everything's all sugar and rainbows?!''
** One of Sazh's lines to Vanille.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrZQIayUnbA The Omega Kawaii Cloud Song]]. It's about Cloud. His bishieness is showing.
* FROCOBO SAYS NO. [[hottip:explanation: Said by HCBailly during his LetsPlay of FinalFantasyXIII, due to Sazh's HeadPet denying him of a PantyShot from Vanille.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2K4GjdtkEk&feature=player_embedded BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!]] [[hottip:explanation: A particularly Narm Narmful]] example of [[FinalFantasyV Exdeath's]] [[LargeHam hamminess.]]]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-vsYN6flM&feature=player_embedded "THUNNDAGAAAAAAA!!"]] [[hottip:explanation:
This is one of [[FinalFantasyXIII Lightning's]] quotes in Dissidia 012, namely when she uses [[CaptainObvious Thundaga.]]]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-vsYN6flM&feature=player_embedded "THUNNDAGAAAAAAA!!"]]
** This is one of [[FinalFantasyXIII Lightning's]] quotes in Dissidia 012, namely when she uses [[CaptainObvious Thundaga.]]

** [[BigBad The Emperor's]] [[EvilIsHammy death cry]] in ''FinalFantasyII'' ("Uboaa" is the transliteration of the Japanese deathcry, "Ungaahh" is how it has been rendered in English translations). While this more of a Japanese meme, due to 1. a long period of NoExportForYou and 2. the game being poorly regarded ([[NintendoHard for]] [[EmptyRoomPsych many]] [[DemonicSpiders and]] [[SequelDifficultySpike varied]] [[WallBanger reasons]]) in the English fandom, it's still present, especially in recent years with the remakes and ''Dissidia''. It'll probably never be as big as it is in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Japanese fandom]], though, where it's the name of the Emperor's fan club.

* FROCOBO SAYS NO. [[hottip:explanation: Said by HCBailey during his LetsPlay of FinalFantasyXIII, due to Sazh's HeadPet denying him of a PantyShot from Vanille.]]

* [[CivilWar You're]] ''[[CivilWar all]]'' [[CivilWar fucked when]] [[MemeticBadass Gilgamesh]] gets back. Gilgamesh's Army [[MissedMomentOfAwesome will have their vengeance]]!!!

* Laguna and his "Greatest Attack '''EVER!!'''" (Somehow managed to pull off the feat of becoming memetic ''purely from a demo video.'')

* More recently with the Duodecim trailers, we have DEM FEET.

* Vincent Valentine gets a [[http://www.youtube.com/user/virtualzelly#p/u/2/mVxID4n3lCM Mastercard ad.]]

* Vincent Valentines gets a [[http://www.youtube.com/user/virtualzelly#p/u/2/mVxID4n3lCM Mastercard ad.]]

** Ditto, but replace "Kuja" with "[[FinalFantasyIX Shantotto]]" and "dodging" with "performing [[LifeDrain Bio]]".
