* BreakingOldTrends: Yuna is the first character to break the trend of only main protagonists being qualified to receive a BT weapon, allowing secondary protagonists a chance too.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Eald'narche spends a good portion of Act 3 manipulating Hope into giving in to his inner darkness to execute his plans. [[spoiler:While he does succeed in Act 3 Chapter 10, he is completely blindsided by the fact that Bhunivelze is a deity of ''light,'' skewing the balance further, which does not help his plans one bit.]]

* BirdsOfAFeather: His Force Ability, which pairs him up with Shelke, is a nod to the fact that both characters had their emotions artificially removed and regain them over the course of their respective games. In a meta sense, both of them are characters from relatively obscure games from their series.

* Po werFloats: Like many other villains, he is always floating in battle.

* BirdsOfAFeather: A meta example with his Force Ability, which pairs him up with Shelke, both being characters from much lesser known entries in the franchise.

* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: Lilisette is able to [[DualWielding Dual Wield]], but since she just doubles the ''DFFOO'' weapon she has equipped, that means Lilisette is able to use two Terpsichores (the Dancer Mythic weapon) or two Twashtars (the Dagger Aeonic weapon). Normally in ''FFXI'' these weapons are Rare/EX, meaning a character can only own one of them, so under normal circumstances it would be impossible for Lilisette to use two of them at once.

%%LD: Vivifying Waltz

* StatusEffects: Her Sensual Dance loads all enemies with a whopping three debuffs; Attack down, magic attack down, and sap, while her Whirling Edge inflicts speed down. During her debut, this gave her a serious edge in battle.

* SupportPartyMember: Grants some of the most potent offensive party buffs in the entire game without having to rely on a Burst buff, but his main source of then, his EX buff, needs to reach the maximum of 5 stacks for full effect and he only gains a single stack when using his EX skill. Thankfully, he starts the battle with a stack already in effect and his EX gauge full, allowing him to reach maximum stacks without too many issues. He's also unique in that some of the buff effects are granted to the party while others are exclusive to only himself.

* WingedHumanoid: The defining trait of the Aegyl race, which he's a member of. Eiko talks about her own wings as a point of pride and compares them to Llyud's, but hers aren't functional and rather than being born with them, they were made by her grandfather.

* CastFromHitPoints: His first skill and his LD skill consume 30% and 50% of his current HP when used, respectively, which is converted to extra BRV. What's unusual about him is that while his EX and LD abilities both heal other party members when used, only his second skill and his Awakening Ability heal both him and the other party members, requiring him to use his Lancet buff to gain back up to 10% of his maximum HP per turn based on HP damage done to the enemy.

%%** On top of his potent buffs, he also has the ability to fill the EX gauges of the other party members to full when he uses his EX skill as well as filling his own EX gauge to full after using his LD skill: when combined together, he can enable characters with strong EX abilities to consistently deal massive damage far more often that they normally would.

->''A candidate for the next emperor of Archadia, this ambitious man will do whatever it takes to preserve House Solidor. He has taken aggressive measures toward neighboring countries and framed Captain Basch for the assassination of the King of Dalmasca. He is also a skilled politician and persuasive speaker who can sway people's hearts.''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuoTobita

First encountered by the party in Chapter 10 when he smoothly talks his way into traveling with them, though he does not become playable then. Unsure of Mog's intentions, he finally attacks near the end of the chapter and unwittingly opens the way into the Dimensions' Labyrinth.

Recruited through his own event ("Conqueror's Duty"), his playable version focuses on buffing himself up while having a notably high turn rate and enhanced abilities, with the unique ability to cancel the enemy's break status with his second ability, Force of Will, while his first ability Mach Wave is a single target attack that grants him the Consul's Wisdom buff, which allows him a free turn. He wields floating great swords of nethicite whose motions synergize with his physical attacks, along with unique framed buffs that increase the whole party's stats (Consul's Wisdom) for their duration and being able to debuff his enemy target's attack stat (Conqueror's Power). His EX Ability, Tree of Sephira, is an area of effect magic BRV+HP Attack with overflow that restores one skill use for both of his standard skills.

* EvolvingAttack: All of Seymour's attacks gain additional followups when the targetted enemy has low enough HP: at 80%, Chainspell is cast again for a total of four 2 hit BRV+HP attacks, Lance Of Atrophy is followed by a single Chainspell and when fully realized, Requiem is followed up by Lance Of Atrophy, and if the enemy has 30% or less HP remaining, it's further followed up by a single Chainspell.

** The lower an enemy's HP gets, the more follow-up attacks his abilities will do. At 30% or less enemy health Seymour's EX attacks cycles through all of his abilities one after the other. This includes eventually his level 90 crystal expansion, which makes him followup consistently as long as they are below 80% and the HP requirements are reduced to 50%.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Attempts to make a joke in Celes' Lost Chapter about experimenting on Celes and Terra, Celes who was made into a Magitek Knight and Terra whom was enslaved by the Empire and tested on against her will. Obviously, the joke falls quite flat.

* TheSmartGuy: Even in a group as large as there is, Shantotto stands out as the most shrewd and clever of the bunch. She was the first one to find Mog's claims of saving the world to he dubious, and was the one to reveal that the so called "light" of the group is just the ability to open and close Torisons, something both ally ''and'' enemy can possess.

* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: Using her EX Ability immediately after her own or an ally's turn causes it to skillchain into Walk The Plant (Light), which is of the Holy Element. In her home game of ''Final Fantasy XI'' though, the Light Skillchain was of the Holy (Light), Fire, Lightning, and Wind elements simultaneously.

** Powder Keg, which also deals a Defense Down debuff.

--->'''Ashe:''' Several different kingdoms have ruled Rabanastre, uniquely blending together various histories and cultures.
--->'''Lilisette:''' Hmm, in other words... it has a habit of being invaded?
--->'''Ashe:''' ...You are not wrong. Two years prior, the Archadian Empire did just that...

* StatusEffects: Her Sensual Dance loads all enemies with a whopping three debuffs; Attack down, magic attack down, and sap, while her Whirling Edge inflicts speed down. During her debut this gave her a serious edge in battle.

** Her EX animation in general invokes this, in a nod to the Samurai class of ''FFXI'' and their ability to quickly use Weapon Skills; Iroha spams four different Weapon Skills back-to-back to cause a Fragmentation into Light into a second Light Skillchain.

* TheChessmaster: After the crystal core of darkness shatters, with all of the villains' OneWingedAngel forms contained within, he manages to get hold of this power for himself and goes around distributing it to Caius and... Hope, of all people. His intent is to bring balance back to the world of overflowing light so they can go home, but for a while he manipulates Hope into believing he had a OneWingedAngel DemonicPossession form when [[spoiler: it's really related to Bhunivelze]].

* TheDreaded: His unique Terror debuff is implied to work this way: once the enemy has been inflicted with it either via losing his Exoplates in either of the ways described below or via his EX ability Vortex once his Exoplates have been removed, they're unable to attack Eald'narche either by directly targetting him or using an [=AoE=] attack of any kind, losing their turn if they attempt to do so. The enemy in question also can't switch to another target or attempt another action once they target him with the debuff active unless something forces them to use a different action that changes their targetting, such as losing enough HP.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Kam'lanaut, once again, during his brother's recruitment event.
