2	----
3	* Garland's infamous [[PreAsskickingOneLiner opening line]], which got translated as, "I, Garland, will knock you all down!" The NarmCharm alone has kept this quote alive in the various remakes and remasters with improved scripts.
4	* Despite lacking any character arcs, the game has some decent [[DeadpanSnarker snarkers]], like Matoya and especially [[InsufferableGenius Doctor Unne]].
5	* Outside of giving the potion to awaken the sleeping elf prince, Matoya is really an UngratefulBastard. She even grumbles that the Light Warriors aren't as attractive as she had hoped.
6	* In the NES original, the revelation that the Lone King in the Western Keep is actually the Dark Elf Astos in disguise is, for some reason, punctuated with the same joyous fanfare you hear whenever you get a plot critical item. Evidently, the game thinks it's just ''awesome'' that you're about to lose several party members to Astos and [[ThatOneAttack that damned RUB Death spell of his]]. This is actually because of the way gaining items was handled in the original game. Unlike the later games, items could not drop from battles, so the game was coded to have Astos give you Matoya's Crystal ''before'' the battle starts. The fanfare is to signify receiving that item. The mental picture of him casually tossing it to the party before going on the attack makes this even funnier.
7	* In the original version, the on-map party-healing and save-permitting items are, in order of increasing effectiveness, a tent, a cottage, and a ''house''. That's right, your party [[HyperspaceArsenal can carry an entire house]], then plant it anywhere on the overworld whenever they need it. Made funnier when you realize that these houses are apparently single-use, meaning your party carries a pile of disposable houses. However, the remakes downplay this by renaming the items "sleeping bag", "tent", and "cottage", respectively.
8	* The encounters with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]] in the remakes:
9	--> "At long last! The ultimate sword…is…MINE! Now I can finally go home! Hey, where did YOU come from? Oh, you mean you were looking for the Excalibur, too? How rude of me. I mean, the four of you come all this way… Of course I’ll let you have the sword. ...I’d say you’ve been hitting the oxyale a bit hard if you believed THAT!" \
10	"Let's see how you handle the mighty me! And by me, I mean Gilgamesh! And by handle, I mean DIE!"
11	* "Ach! I learned my lesson; no more eatin' things I find on the groond."
12	* The new personalities given to mermaids in the remakes turns them into [[ManicPixieDreamGirl adorably strange and lovable airheads]]. For instance, one has this to say about Gilgamesh stomping around in her bailiwick:
13	-->"That big guy is great! You little guys are great! Everybody is great!!"
14	* Whenever you attempt to throw away the Rat Tail:
15	-->"Ohh, it stinks! Throw it over." "No, DON'T DO THAT!"
16	* In the remakes, poison damage can be blocked with a ''shield''. How exactly that works is anyone's guess.
17	* For the bonus dungeons in the remakes, each one represents another game in the series. When you first encounter Typhon and Ultros, you assume that the dungeon based on ''VI'' has gotten the comedy out of the way, and will move onto more pivotal antagonists. And you'd be right, as you see the next boss say, ominously, "I will usher you into the next world...". And then when the battle loads, you find out that it's not Deathgaze, (who is later in the dungeon), any of the dragons, or even Ultima Weapon. It's the ''Phantom Train'', and that threat was completely literal, as now this mostly high fantasy medieval adventuring party has to avoid being run over by an angry ghost train.
18	* The official rendering for ''Dawn of Souls''. Red Mage is holding onto his/her hat, Fighter has a sword out, and... White Mage is using Black Mage as a human shield.
19	* Behold, the legendary Warriors of Light heroically saving the world... by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFHN7_NS4w4&ab_channel=TASVideosChannel walking up and down stairs for 5 minutes]]. (Glitch explanation [[http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=400304#400304 here]].)
20	** Even better is an earlier version of the TAS that uses the same glitch to corrupt a nearby NPC into the final battle with Chaos, while at the same time changing one party member's level to [[AbsurdlyHighLevelCap 102]], causing Chaos to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flee the resulting battle]].
21	* ''Pixel Remaster'' has a quirk with the AI of enemies, where they no longer use scripting and instead any of their attacks can be used at completely random discretion. This can make Chaos a real pain in the ass, but it also means that [[BossInMooksClothing WarMECH]], dreaded nightmare of the Floating Fortress, can be encountered.. and use Flee in the very first turn it has.
