* ClicheStorm: The plot. Find the Crystals. Defeat the [[BigBad evil dude]]. That's pretty much it, though it somehow manages to be good despite its simple premise.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: The original US release, to the point it's the game's major flaw reviewers are likely to point out. Enemies are pathetic (WebVideo/ProJared demonstrated in his review that you can beat enemies by just pressing the A button repeatedly), the game is very generous with healing items, chests with them refill whenever you leave an area so you can farm them without effort, you get access to ''two'' OneHitKill White Magic spells, all the equipment you need are found in dungeons, and all enemies are visible on the map and can just be avoided if you like. The only time the game actively gets challenging is when it starts pulling FakeDifficulty. The Japanese version beefs up enemies and nerfs the party a bit, so the game is more difficult.

** Someone apparently forgot to double-check the boss flags for the Skullrus Rex and Stone Golem, as both are vulnerable to two status ailments you wouldn't expect: [[spoiler:petrification and Exit's expulsion]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII'', sharing many of the same development staff.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is actually more like a spiritual successor to the early ''VideoGame/{{SaGa|RPG}}'' games. It was made by the same team that made ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII'', sharing many of and its basic combat mechanics are taken directly from that installment, while its world (four separate areas connected by a giant tower with the same development staff. dark lord at the top) heavily resembles ''VideoGame/TheFinalFantasyLegend''.

* MisBlamed: This game had nothing to do with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' not getting an international release, it was a common myth that Square decided to localise this one.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: While the game is not widely loved, everyone agrees the music is fantastic and the best part of the game, even with a relatively limited track list. Most praise focuses on Ryuji Sasai's use of electric guitar, and several of the tracks that resulted (which is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UNwLHA6x1Y three]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie__67GTp0M battle]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qZPrPW15NQ themes]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qkBT_6klKs Lava Dome]]," "[[https://youtu.be/3O2k8kdbn8c Mountain Range of Whirlwinds]]," and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOZw35By9f0 Doom Castle]]"). The soundtrack even came with three remixes that combine battle music in one track, and "Doom Castle" and "Lava Dome" in the other, to a crescendo of awesome. It probably says something that the game's first recognition in a spin-off title was in ''VideoGame/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy''.
