** He also takes cues from [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears the Creator]], as an alien being who came to the world and created the Mothercrystals on it to seed life through the process of its evolution, but only as part of an experiment for his own interests and he plans to wipe out humanity now that they've served their purpose.
** He's largely inspired by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Garland]] too, as the representative of an alien race that fled their own world when it fell to ruin and are trying to conquer another planet to rebuild their civilization. Near the end game Ultima brings Clive and Joshua into the Interdimensional Rift and explains how its race came to Valisthea in a very similar manner to Garland speaking to Zidane in the Crystal World about the history of Gaia and Terra. He also bears a physical resemblance to Necron, being a blue-skinned humanoid with four arms and a prominent pair of wings extending above his shoulders.

* MythologyGag: Omega's battle music also includes riffs and lyrics from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHVX2A8L5s "eScape"]], Omega's battle theme in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYOSYDBJyZg "Order, yet Undeciphered"]] the theme of the Allagan research facility Azys Lla that experimented on the eikons that XIV's Omega captured. While many of its attacks are based on Omega's iterations across the ''Final Fantasy'' series, its TotalPartyKill move, "Omega Protocol", is named after the [[{{Superboss}} Ultimate Raid]] of the same game.

* SatanicArchetype: Both his armored (in his first battle when assimilating the remnants of an Ifrit) and Ultima Prime/Risen appearances have taken elements of the Devil, and him being a dark god that created humanity reinforces this.

The God of Valisthea, who created humanity and the Mothercrystals. "Ultima" refers to an alien race united by a HiveMind that share a collective identity, so it is the proper term for the species and the singular individual who acts on their behalf. The Ultima fled their home planet after the Blight rendered it uninhabitable and came to Valisthea because it was a land rich with aether. Ultima wished to rebuild his civilization here by absorbing this aether to resurrect his race, and enacted a plan that would take thousands of years to bear fruit.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Omega is an artificial Eikon created for the sake of overthrowing the gods. A biomechanical monstrosity of frightening destructive power, its very presence allows it to warp space to its will and it takes Clive, Jill, [[spoiler:and Joshua]] working together to defeat it.

The Eikon of Water, who apparently possesses no Dominant and has been lost to legend. For this reason, it is referred to as "the Lost". It is set to finally make an appearence in the DLC Story ''The Rising Tide''.

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: It's called "Leviathan the Lost" because it hasn't been seen in over a century, and everyone assumes that the bloodlines that bore its Dominants are extinct. ''The Rising Tide'' DLC explains that [[spoiler:the Motes of Water merely went into hiding due to religious persecution and losing their homeland, and when a Dominant was eventually born into their people, it was sealed in time for eight years.]]

* UnstablePoweredChild: An extreme example in that [[spoiler:Waljas basically throws a colossal temper tantrum after being imprisoned for almost a century]], priming into Leviathan and managing to give Ifrit quite a lot of trouble in the process.

* AmbiguousSituation: Leviathan's absence in the game. Although it's established the Eikon will be "reborn" after a certain amount of time if their Dominant dies, the fact that Leviathan is not mentioned anywhere in the game and has no connection to any of the existing countries in Valisthea implies it's been out of action for a long time or the Dominants of Leviathan have been in hiding. [[spoiler:It's also possible the "clan" tied to Leviathan like Phoenix's Motes of Fire have all died out and the Eikon itself is dead for all intents and purposes.]] ''The Rising Tide'' DLC seemingly confirms the former theory as Clive receives a letter asking him to save Leviathan's Dominant.

* BiggerIsBetter: If the murals are anything to go by, Leviathan could be the single largest Eikon, dwarfing even Titan in length.

* DeathsHourglass: Much like the Eikon of Fire battle, Leviathan charges up a OneHitKill of its own, only much harsher in its damage check. While attacks delivered through a "Press The Attack" phase can usually be healed through, Tsunami will cause an instant game over. Not because of health, but because [[NonStandardGameOver the collateral damage from the attack is overwhelming.]]
* FreeFallFight: The first phase of the battle between Ifrit and Leviathan involves the two Eikons duking it out while falling down the center of a seemingly endless waterspout.

* MakingASplash: With attacks that create giant water cyclones and tidal waves many '''many''' times taller than Ifrit, Leviathan

* MakingASplash: Assumedly, but how much it can control water is left unknown.

* BattleThemeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNHtrhMPDMo "Eikonoklasm"]], a pounding techno theme underscored by a forboding choir that emphasizes Omega's menace as an artificial Eikon created to overthrow the gods.
