** The ultimate weapons in the 20th Anniversary version give huge stat boosts, +99 for some of them, and of course have high attack power. The ''really'' game breaking ones are the ones that boost Stamina or Magic. The game's mechanics for HP and MP gain specifically increase them by the character's Stamina and Magic. So with 99 Magic and Stamina, the character will get 99 HP or MP the next time the stat levels up. Enjoying being able to smash into the MP cap in a few battles and pumping up your characters at least a thousand HP in that same time.

* NeverLiveItDown: While the unorthodox level system has been refined by remakes, to this day this is the ''Final Fantasy'' game known for being the one where you level up by having your party members attack themselves. Unfortunately for the game, this is a perfectly viable strategy too -- the best way to level up skills and spells is to cast them over and over, and your party members are likely much more durable than enemies, sooo...

* AnticlimaxBoss: Borghen, the foul arch-traitor who assisted the Empire in taking the heroes' hometown and thereby resulting in the deaths of their parents, turns out to be the weakest boss in the game by a mile. Moreover, after his death he sets off a trap that causes the death of [[spoiler:Josef]], meaning that this wimp also gets the honor of being the first Final Fantasy bad guy to kill off a playable character. The Emperor also fits this trope when you fight him in the Cyclone, where he's a pushover (though he turns into a killing machine for [[spoiler:his turn as the final boss.]])

The most logical conclusion as to their inclusion in the game is that they were intended to be [[{{Expy}} expies]] of [[StarWars Ewoks,]] in that their demonstratively minor actions ultimately lead to the defeat of a global empire. Likewise, Guy "speaking beaver" is probably supposed to reinforce an analogous connection to Chewbacca.

* GoodBadBug: In the original and PS1 versions, if one selects a move and then cancels it, the game treated it as if you had performed the move, for the purposes of raising stats. Thus it is possible to get astronomically high strength and magic skills almost as soon as you start the game, if your fingers can take it.

Newer Than They Think is for elements like Cid (unless you count Cid of the Lufaine), chocobos, etc., which weren't in Final Fantasy I—this comes as a surprise to a lot of people. And Older Than They Think comes into play with many of the plot elements—the Evil Empire, Bishounen villain who's seeking godhood, essentially, party members being Killed Off for Real, and even the presence of any plot at all—which many people seem to think only started in the SNES and PS 1 era.

Then, he constructs a warship which bombs nearly every town in the game, kidnaps the female leader of LaResistance, replaces her with a monster and allows the heroes to "rescue" her (who then kills off the King), builds a flying castle that completley ruins nearly every town in the game, and then after being killed by the party, he ''takes over Hell AND Heaven'' and comes back stronger than before.
