History VideoGame / WorldOfFinalFantasy

** ''Maxima'' adds a few items on the Rumour Radar to inform players of new content. [[spoiler:One of these items is fragments of conversation the real Reynn and Lann are having outside of Grymoire.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of typical MonsSeries games. [[spoiler: Summoning ancient beings of unfathomable power which have their own agendas and refuse to play along with the teenage summoners ends poorly -- for everyone.]]

** ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII XIII]]): Lightning[[note]]Based on her appearance from ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII''[[/note]], Chocolina, Snow Villiers, Serah Farron[[note]]Based on her appearance from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2''[[/note]] (''Maxima'')

* ThemeTuneCameo / ThemeMusicPowerUp: Using a [[LimitBreak Champion Summon]] temporarily changes the current battle theme to a remix of a past FF song depending on who you summoned. Such as the Warrior of Light's summoning being backed by a [[ThePowerOfRock Rock Remix]] of the original Battle Theme from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI''.

* FinalDeath: Thresholds suppress Tama's resurrection powers, so if you die while in one, you're done.

** ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII VII]]): Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart[[note]]Based on her appearance from ''VideoGame/CrisisCoreFinalFantasyVII''[[/note]], Shelke the Transparent, Sephiroth (DLC), Zack Fair (''Maxima'')

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Although Sherlotta refuses to tell why she can turn into a cat, she does mention that "cats get around", while facing the screen suspiciously. Cue the twins having a sweat drop in the background.
** The Undead Princess mentions that her deep-seated grudge is "great for her hex life, but sometimes the magic just isn't there even when it should be." It probably says something that she [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles shares an origin]] with Sherlotta.
** Reynn to the Cactuar Conductor: "Your sass is grass!"
** Tidus tells Yuna that "There's this thing about guys..." Yuna questions what he's talking about and then immediately thinks better of it.

* HeroicMime: Not the protagonists, but Sora (and Sephiroth, although he doesn't qualify as "heroic"), when summoned, is TheVoiceless. Presumably, it's because hiring their voice actors for cameos would be pricey, and reusing dialogue from past games wouldn't fit the situation.

* TheVoiceless: Sora is this among the game's summons. Justified because it would involve legal issues with ''Disney'', and that Haley Joel Osmont would be leagues more expensive to cast than any other character.

* TheSouthpaw: Reynn and Lann wield their weaponry in their left hands.

* EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses: The game has a number of princesses, including Princess Serah, Faris[[note]]Who is secretly a princess in [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV her original game]][[/note]], the Undead Princess, the Princess Goblin, and the Princess Flan[[note]]who is depicted as a SlimeGirl instead of a BlobMonster this time around[[/note]]. [[spoiler:Also, as Lusse Farna is described as the "Queen of Keepers" of ages past, that would make Reynn a princess (and Lann a prince) by technicality.]]

-->'''Reynn:''' Whoooa! Don't say another word! This thing is RIGHT where it's supposed to be.

* AscendedMeme: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Tidus]]' [[AnnoyingLaugh infamous laughter]] is referenced in [[https://youtu.be/e3hWpbCQ5VQ?t=24s this scene]].
