* ToughActToFollow: ''Far Cry 3'' is seen as one of the best in the franchise, while ''4'' and ''5'' are criticised for feeling like a retread of ''3'' and are regarded as a pair of overshadowed sequels despite their own merits. Vaas Montenegro, in particular, is widely regarded as one of the best antagonists in the entire franchise. While Pagan Min and Joseph Seed have been unfairly compared to Vaas for not being as good as him or for being too similar to him (charismatic psychopaths who have fun being the villain while mocking the protagonist).

* VanillaProtagonist: The series is well known for having memorable villains at the expense of personality for the protagonist, with ''Blood Dragon'' being the notable exception and ''3'' potentially scraping by. ''2'' and ''5'' outright have the main character as a HeroicMime, with the former allowing a choice from a list of twelve mercenaries, and the latter going with CharacterCustomization.

CharacterCustomization. ''6'', on the other hand, gives Dani Rojas a distinct personality.

* MemeticMutation: From ''2'' and on, the infamous [[HealThyself healing animations/sequences]] that would [[WorstAid do more harm than good]] are recognized as an iconic part of the game, and referring to "healing animations" in games usually refer to these or those inspired by/parodying them.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: The ''Far Cry'' franchise is known for it's iconic and beloved villains. Among the most popular are Vaas Montenegro, a drug and human trafficking modern day pirate; Pagan Min, the brutal dictator of Kyrat who casually commits human rights abuses; and Joseph Seed, the charismatic leader of the Eden's Gate cult hellbent on converting everyone in Hope County to their cause in preparation of The Collapse. Meanwhile, Agent Willis Huntley is one of the least liked characters in the series due to his {{Jerkass}} tendencies, jingoism, and dislike of foreign cultures. While he's generally tolerated in ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' for helping Jason on his journey and being useful in fighting back against [[BigBad Hoyt Volker]], in ''VideoGame/FarCry4'' he's openly rude and racist to Ajay and [[spoiler:tricks him into killing CIA agents stationed in Kyrat, and then shoves him out of the plane to be captured by Yuma Lau's men.]] In ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' he makes the [[PlayerCharacter Deputy]] recover an embarrassing VHS tape but otherwise doesn't really help the resistance in fighting back against Eden's Gate at all.
