History VideoGame / FinalFantasyDimensions

* BodyHorror: After [[spoiler: Elgo loses control of the power of Nil]], he mutates into [[spoiler: Chaos Elgo]], a ''hideous'' mass of flesh, demonic parts and bits and pieces of his old self that wouldn't look out of place in ''Anime/{{AKIRA}}''.]]

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: It's always night in the World of Darkness. Interestingly, the inverse is not true of the World of Light, with some villagers complaining about the constant state of sunrise.

* LaResistance: Desert Moon, a resistance movement to the Empire.

* TheEmpire: The Avalonian Empire is the bad guys, although in Lux they are a VillainWithGoodPublicity.

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: It's always night in the World of Darkness. Interestingly, the inverse is not true of the World of Light.

* PartyInMyPocket

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Aigis, Diana, and Sarah all have blue hair. Nacht has teal hair. Baugauven sports purple hair. Barbara has pink hair.

Strictly speaking about the game, though, the premise is mostly similar to old-school FF games, most notably borrowing from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' its job system. There are also unlockable jobs, each one of them obtainable after finishing each and every episode. Playable characters are split in two groups, the [[MythologyGag Warriors of Light]] and the [[DarkIsNotEvil Warriors of Darkness]].

* OddballInTheSeries: It's unusual among the ''Final Fantasy'' mobile games in that it is not a sequel or spinoff (unlike ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTheAfterYears'', which shares its chapter-based format), nor is it an AllegedlyFreeGame based off NostalgiaFactor, daily play bonuses, and gachapon. It is simply a standard Final Fantasy game modeled off of the [=SNES=] era games that happens to be on your mobile device.

* FloatingContinent: Mysidia is located on one held aloft by powerful magic.

* {{Retraux}}: It has even an optional chiptune soundtrack!

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Barbara. Also, the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII Dr]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV ag]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV oon]] job class.

* TheSouthpaw: Nacht is left-handed. This is especially evident on the inventory screen: his shields go in the right-hand slot and swords in the left.

The game later received a sequel in an all new world, with new characters, no job system, and a plot resembling ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' , called ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyDimensionsII''.

!! This game provides examples of:

** The Divine Generals are based on the remaining four elements. They are [[ShockAndAwe Shango of Lightning]], [[AnIcePerson Cocytus if Ice]], [[LightEmUp Imperio of Light]], and [[CastingAShadow Gehenna of Darkness]].

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: the Dragoon job has the Jump ability. [[spoiler: Later in the game, the Warriors of Light, who have this job, use this ability to jump between airships.]]

** [[spoiler: Gramps]] does this to protect his wife, son, and entire country. [[spoiler: Asmodai is about to finish of the his wife and child and then move on to the Dark Warriors. To prevent it, he jumps in front of his magic attack, and then uses an [[CastFromHitPoints attack that does 9999 damage to both of them]].]]

* GenkiGirl: Alba.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Every chapter.

* LazyBackup: [[spoiler: After the worlds rejoin, you control all 8 Warriors, but [[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit only 5 can fight at a time.]] If those 5 die, it's GameOver, regardless of who is in reserve and what abilities (like Phoenix) they might have.]]

** Some of the guest characters have conspicuously not mastered their own jobs, although you can't see a job level for the guests; the player characters can actually become significantly more powerful than the guests upon mastering the guest's job. For example, the guest Magus and Seer lack the respective job-signature en- and nul- spells that the player characters can gain. Nevertheless, at the effective middling job levels some guests have, they are still significantly more advanced than the player characters would be upon initially taking on that job.

* TraumaInn: Of course.

* VictoryPose: Complete with the FF fanfare.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The Emperor of Avalon does.

** Much like in ''FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears'', when the party encounters save points in the final dungeon for the first time, there are small character developing cutscenes while the party camps there for the night.

A new spin-off entry in the [[BuffySpeak cell-phonily]] [[RunningGag popular]] ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, this game, much like ''FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears'', started its development as an EpisodicGame meant to be played on mobile phones; however, unlike the former (and unlike ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded'', just to give another example), its overseas release did ''not'' require [[RemadeForTheExport a remake on another piece of hardware entirely]] this time around, as the game saw an actual release on mobile phones worldwide, specifically [=iOS=] and Android systems alike, on August 31st, 2012.
