* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: The normal level cap, after finishing all the Limit Break quests, is 99, and is pretty much requiered to undergo most endgame activities, but the game is structured in a way so you pretty much never stop accumulating some form of EXP to boost your character, such as gaining Merit Points and Job Points. If you manage to completely cap out a Job with Job Points, which can take a ''long'' time, you can even begin accumulating ''Master'' Levels that boost your character's stats beyond their level 99 max, and allow your subjob to go further than it normally would. This isn't even counting Item Level gear, which can boost the effective level of a character up to ''119''.

* ArtificialStupidity: Trusts, NPC party members that the players can summon in place of real players, are not the brightest bunch: the most evident part is that they ''will not'' attack enemies by themselves...even if, say, an aggro'd monster is currently bashing the player, or even they themselves. The ''only'' way to get them to attack enemies is to target an enemy and initiate an autoattack, even casting spells or using weaponskills won't do it. While this is likely intentional to avoid AFK farming in which the Trusts go on to slaughter any enemy around the player by themselves, it can make fights with multiple enemies frustrating since they will only attack the enemy the player is targetting, and any other surrounding enemy will only get hit by incidental AoE spells and weaponskills.

This mixing and matching of classes is crucial to character build, as a character can designate a "Support Job" that grants stat bonuses and abilities to their main class.

For very old growth style forest, there is The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, filled with trees that reach beyond the draw distance, numerous roaving plantoids, bugs, walking mushrooms, and tree-tending creatures. There is also a dungeon within that zone called the Boyhada Tree.

Caederva Mire can also apply, as the player doesn't even get a map to this place before jumping through a few hoops.

* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: A variation happens in Windurst Mission 3-2 (Written in the Stars), which is why it's so problematic to solo. The thing you need to do is inspect the Gate of Light, which is located behind Three Mage Gate in Inner Horutoto Ruins. The Three Mage Gate is locked and you need either a White Mage/Black Mage/Red Mage team (hence the name), or a friend with a Portal Charm which would allow them to open the gate by themself. There ''is'' a way to bypass the Three Mage Gate and do the mission solo, but it requires completing a relatively long and somewhat expensive chain of sidequests in Windurst, which would open a backdoor in a different area, allowing one to approach the Gate of Light from the opposite direction. The item you get for completing the mission? A Portal Charm. Thank Altana that the mission can be skipped and done later.
