* The BigBad of the original ''FinalFantasy'' is called Chaos.
* In the webcomic ''EightBitTheatre'' (a parody of FinalFantasy), the main characters are told that their task is to defeat chaos, leading Black Mage to [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/07/30/episode-062-weird-philosophical-tangent/ go on an angry rant about this trope]] (before calming down when it's explained that's just the villain's name).
-->I refuse to take part in an adventure that is metaphysically rooted in the destruction of an abstract and artificial concept like chaos simply because connotatively speaking it's less desirable than the equally artificial term 'order'.
-->When will you people learn that these are merely patterns that our temporal minds have made for us in a desperate attempt to make sense of an unimaginably immense and impersonal universe?
-->Order, chaos, these are words for things we don't even understand. Chaos is not something you fight against, order is not something you protect. They have no more power or importance than that which we give them.
-->''And I, for one, will not perpetuate this asinine paradigm that there is something inherently wrong about chaos!''
