* The copious amounts of FoeYay in the game, illustrated in [[http://ra-hime.deviantart.com/art/Dissidia-Foe-Yay-153909307 this image.]] The Emperor is "'''[[AmbiguouslyGay UNGAAAAAHBULOUS!!]]'''"

* "I'm here to kill Chaos!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal trailer for ''VideoGame/StrangerOfParadiseFinalFantasyOrigin'' had the protagonist constantly reiterate his desire to kill Chaos. Combined with his generic look and name (Jack), Chaosposting became a meme instantly.[[/labelnote]]
* Lightning Prompto [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jed, one of the protagonist's companions in the reveal trailer for ''Origin'' looks ands sounds somewhat like Prompto, but with a pink hair color similar to Lightning's, so it's become a joke to claim he's Prompto doing {{Cosplay}}.[[/labelnote]]

* Italian Tifa[[labelnote:Explanation]]Many jokes about Tifa being Italian or otherwise associated with Italy ensued after a 2022 Italian senate meeting was interrupted by a Rule34 animation of the character in an act of Zoombombing, where someone, usually an [[{{Troll}} internet troll]], interrupts a video conference by broadcasting material that is disruptive and offensive in nature.[[/labelnote]]

* '''TOWNS!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The outcry of [[FanDumb some fans]] when it was revealed that there would be no traditional towns in the game.[[/labelnote]]

* "Mwa-hahahaha... I turned myself into a tiny splinter, waiting for just this moment!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Exdeath in the same conversation as "Turtle" above, when he revealed that after [[DiscOneFinalBoss his apparent defeat]] by the heroes hands he actually did ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and hid simself in Krile. While there is some FridgeLogic behind it, considering that he is actualy [[WhenTreesAttack a tree]], the sheer ridiculousness of the event and the fact that Exdeath is bragging about his awesome power of turning himself into a literal thorn in your side made it [[NeverLiveItDown unforgettable by fans]]. This moment was so memorable that Exdeath did it again in ''Videogame/DissidiaFinalFantasyOperaOmnia'', this time with Vivi.[[/labelnote]]

* "Enough expository banter! Now, we fight like men! And ladies! [[{{Bifauxnen}} And ladies who dress like men!]] For [[CrazyAwesome Gilgamesh...]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers IT IS MORPHING TIME!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of GILGAMESH's very famous quotes.[[/labelnote]]

* [[SayMyName TIIIIIII]]-[[LesYay FAAAAAAAA!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]][[LetsPlay Video game streamer [[https://youtube.com/c/Nyxipuff Nyxipuff]] gets ''very'' excited whenever Tifa appears in any game featuring her, be it the original or the Remake or even Kingdom Hearts. It’s a RunningGag that she will shout Tifa’s name exactly like this the moment that she appears, and then gush about how great she is and how attractive she finds her. Many fans have taken to quoting this IncomingHam phrase when expressing their own admiration of Tifa.[[/labelnote]]

* [[LipLock "Withyunabymyside"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]For whatever reason, the English voice actors were not shown the footage while recording and so did not know exactly how much time they had to record their lines. To compound this, the game engine would crash if the audio was too long or too shot. As a result, sometimes the audio is sped up in order to fit the allotted time for the character's dialogue. By far the most notorious being a passionate speech Tidus makes about the journey... ending with this suddenly erratic string of word.[[/labelnote]]

* "I'M CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBURG OF DALMASCA!", "BASCH LIVES!", and "DON'T LISTEN TO ONDORE'S LIES!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From 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.[[/labelnote]]

* The FinalBoss of ''Final Fantasy XI'' is [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]The final boss of ''IX'' quotes Yoda's famous line from ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering". The [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment out of nowhere nature]] of said quote, couple with the [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere out of nowhere appearance]] of the boss itself, has lead to fans to jokingly theorize that it was Yoda all along.[[/labelnote]]

* Cloud's Stalker Ex-Boyfriend [[labelnote:Explanation]]In almost every and any Final Fantasy VII Spin-off or even non-FFVII spin-offs and games. Sephiroth is almost always there to torment Cloud. A lot of jokes have been made in expense about Cloud not seemingly able to get away from his Archnemesis, this jokes pretty much reached it's peak when Sephiroth basically just forced himself into Super Smash Brothers Ultimate![[/labelnote]]

* Antifa Lockhart.[[note]]Given that "antifa," which is short for anti-fascism, contains "tifa," and she's part of an anti-corporate resistance group, it's common for social media users to use that as a pseudonym.[[/note]]

* [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Seymour! The house is on fire!" "No Mother, it's just my battle theme"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Seymour shares his name with the principal from The Simpsons. So some people have referenced the steamed hams meme in some videos of his theme song. It helps that at one point, Tidus yells his name in a boss fight in a similar way that Chalmers did. [[/labelnote]]

* Spidey Prom! [[labelnote:Explanation]]About one year after the release of the game, Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} came out with [[WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan a new Spider-Man cartoon]], with Prompto's [[Creator/RobbieDaymond English voice actor]] playing Peter Parker. This caused quite a few western fans to start drawing Prompto in Spider-Man's costumes and creating comics depicting him defending the city of Insomnia from villains that are a mix of the villains from the game and Spidey's rogues gallery.[[/labelnote]]

* [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Ultra Instinct]] Ignis. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Ignis uses the Ring of the Lucii to face off against Ardyn, he begins glowing faintly blue with particles floating upwards off of him. Comparisons between him and Goku's newest transformation started pouring in. It becomes especially appropriate with Ignis' combat mechanics, which allow him to counter, take no damage and respond to any attack -- comparable to the Ultra Instinct form.[[/labelnote]]

* "I'm here to kill Chaos!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal trailer for ''Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin'' had the protagonist constantly reiterate his desire to kill Chaos. Combined with his generic look and name (Jack), Chaosposting became a meme instantly.[[/labelnote]]
* Lightning Prompto [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the protagonist's companions in the reveal trailer for ''Origin'' looks ands sounds somewhat like Prompto, but with a pink hair color similar to Lightning's, so it's become a joke to claim he's Prompto doing {{Cosplay}}.[[/labelnote]]

* Noctis x Sarah [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans have quickly pointed out how Sarah developed a very strong camaraderie with Noctis, almost to the point where they joke that he had more chemistry with a girl he had only interacted with for 30 minutes than ''his own actual canon love interest''.[[/labelnote]]

* French frogs, big cherries, peter pan, magic cheese, SEPHIROTH [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another Mondegreen, this time of the lyrics to the famous "One Winged Angel", the final battle theme. The actual lyrics are in Latin, but even more modern versions with better sound technology sound like a rather bizarre list in English.[[/labelnote]]

* "Shall I give you 'dis pear?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A {{Mondegreen}} of Sephiroth's famous line in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'': "Shall I give you despair?" Often accompanied by a picture of him Photoshopped so it looks like he's holding the fruit in question. The meme experienced a resurgence in late 2020 when Sephiroth used a similar line ("Now I shall give Smash despair!"), in reference to the original line, in his announcement trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.[[/labelnote]]

* '''GIVE ME COFFEE!! FOR THE HORSE!! ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis FOOOOOOR!! THEEEEEEE!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORSE!!]]''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular {{Mondegreen}} for the opening lyrics of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qyavbSmxW4 penultimate boss theme]].[[/labelnote]]

* Blasted [[{{Mondegreen}} fuckball]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Sazh's lines misinterpreted; it's supposed to be "Blasted fluffball!" Gained prominence since it was in a ''trailer''.[[/labelnote]]

* "Noctis orgy. Noctis orgy! NOCTIS ORGY!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A {{Mondegreen}} of one character shouting "Noctis-''ouji''" ("Prince Noctis" in Japanese) in a trailer for ''Versus XIII''.[[/labelnote]]

* 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. Some of the most famous include "GET THE FRUIT!", "Naive Weekly!", "To asylum beyond!", "I bring you dis pear," "Supper!", "There is no butter for this plane," and "Dorks unite!"

* [[https://youtu.be/dxF4rQ2vzCA Good to see you... TWINK.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chris O'niell's [[https://youtu.be/Cqz9x5JD-aQ SNOWBOARDING BLUES]] has a scene where Sephiroth calls Cloud a "twink", and people have been editing it into scenes with Sephiroth, such as [[https://youtu.be/UjbQsVaYDTE Sephiroth's introduction to Smash]].[[/labelnote]]
