* CompanyCrossReferences: Aside from the obvious use of ATB, the game contains a few ''Final Fantasy'' references of its own.
** The menu interface is basically identical to that of a ''Final Fantasy'' game.
** Bahamut and Tiamat appear in the game as enemies, the latter taking on the appearance of a red three-headed dragon.
** You can get Save the Queen and Excalibur as Sword-type weapons. Unlike their ''Final Fantasy'' appearances, they aren't considered special by any means and are merely "strong" mid-game drops.

** The Math Riddles and Map Riddles can be extremely frustrating to figure out by yourself; the former because the given hints are incredibly vague and tend to require lateral thinking, the latter because the game only shows you a tiny piece of the map where the treasure is located and expects you to go off that. The latter is thankfully easier since each stratum has a specific layout and you can narrow it down from there based on the map piece given, but the math puzzles aren't nearly as kind.

* EldritchLocation: The dungeon seems to be one considering it is home to entire ecosystems of various kinds, and the last 10 floors are essentially a hellish voidscape.
Added DiffLines:
* RandomlyDrops: Enemies have a "drop" table and a "shop" table. The main difference is that while items from the drop table will go directly into your inventory, items from the "shop" table will be deposited in the relative shop if they "drop" and you must buy them from the shopkeeper. The game neglects to tell you when the latter occurs, which can be quite annoying as items dropping directly tends to be much rarer.

* {{Retraux}}: The game seems deliberately designed as a statement on the "classic" style of [=JRPGs=] that many franchises have moved away from over the years, as it whittles down the format to just the core gameplay concepts present in the genre and harkens back to the dungeon crawling and difficulty that the era was known for. It also uses the original version of Active Time Battle that the ''Final Fantasy'' games used to tout before the franchise shifted towards hybridized versions of the system in the early 2000's.
