[[folder:The Hooded Figures]]
A Hooded Man and Hooded Woman aiding the Shadowsmith in his plans.

* DifficultySpike: Each new tier of Magicites represents a considerable jump in power from the previous.

** Rank 6 Magicite turn this UpToEleven, having up to three levels of rage, which will drop by one level anytime you deal 10,000 or more damage in a single hit. On top of typically increasing their attack and defensive power, at level 3 rage, they sometimes also feature another buff (for instance, Ramuh attacks faster).

* KnifeNut: His unique weapons are mainly daggers.

* NoSell: At level three Enraged, Savage Zantetsuken inflicts Instant DEath and ignores ''anything'' you may try to use to survive it, including damaging characters in the air from a Jump attack and characters under the Invulnerable status. This was later {{Nerf}}ed to just deal damage like the other levels of the attack.

* TurnsRed: When his HP falls to 30%, Odin dispenses with the elemental attack script and ''really'' lives up to his AllYourPowersCombined theme, unleashing multi-elemental attacks with great ferocity. Dark Odin uses trie-elemental attacks, while the true Odin uses omni-elemental attacks.

* Secret Art: His Hero Ability is ''Dr. Mog's Secret.'' It deals 4 magic Prismatic and Non-Elemental attacks.

* NoSell: At level three Enraged, Savage Zantetsuken ignores ''anything'' you may try to use to survive it, including damaging characters in the air from a Jump attack and characters under the Invulnerable status.

* ElementalPowers: They embody the game's elements, save for Poison; the Dark-elemental Magicites mostly pick up Poison's gimick of StandardStatusEffects, though they don't deal Poison damage.

** Siren and Hades are very abusive toward StandardStatusEffects, especially Hades.

* PoisonousPerson: Averted, Poison is the one element with no Magicite to represent it; Dark gets its StandardStatusEffects gimmick instead.

* FantasticNuke: [[spoiler:Tyro triggers one ''by complete accident'' at the end of Chapter 1 when he alters an important scene in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' realm. Dr. Mog was ''[[{{Understatement}} not happy]]'' with this.]]

* WhiteMagicianGirl: One of the most powerful of the game, with the throne still not taken by anyone else.

** Alexander will increase his Holy level up to five levels, and if he hits level 5 and stays there long enough, he'll Eject the party from battle. When he's sent into Phase 2, he "judges" the party based on his current Holy level, which determines the effects of Smite Divine Judgement in Phase 3, with it being a TotalPartyWipe if his Holy level was at either 1 or 5 when he judged them. He also has a mechanic to inflict Pain on the party by summoning a Light Sphere that inflicts it on the targetted party member on its turns with its attacks, the target of which can be changed by hitting it with another character, with Alexander automatically Ejecting the party if anyone hits 6 Pain or if the Light Sphere is hit more than 11 times.
** Diabolos inflicts the "Fevered Dream" effect on party members and shifts between Awake and Asleep forms -- party members with Fevered Dream cannot damage him when he's awake, and party members without Fevered Dream cannot damage him when he's asleep. While he only inflicts the status on 2 characters at a time in the first phase where it can easily be removed with anything that cures negative status and the second phase is spent with the entire party under the status since Diablos shifts forms right after inflicting the party with it, the final phase starts off with him switching forms again while a new target called Aetherial Tear appears in the fight: the party can either reduce the tear to 0 HP to force Diablos shift forms again and keep fighting the battle in dream state or cure their Fevered Dream and stay awake, or shift between the 2 as desired until the tear is destroyed after having its HP reduced to 0 a total of 5 times. The awake state has slightly weaker attacks overall but the party needs to deal with Gloomshade End Terror more often that reduces the party to critical HP, reduces their healing by 50% and inflicts a 5 second Doom on them that can only be removed from inflicted characters by healing them to max HP, while the dream state has numerous Gloomshade Underworld Radiances to deal with that max out the party's Pain stacks on top of dealing capped damage to them that're always followed by Gloomshade Ruinous Omen which always deals more damage than the party can survive without Last Stand thanks to the Pain stacks on them.

* TheBerserker: The most prone into going on unstoppable bouts of fury and determination among Tyro's friends.

* AwesomeButImpractical His ''Arbiter's Apocrypha'' Overstrike Soul Break and his ''Fantasy Unbound'' Ultra Soul Break. The first deals Overstrike damage and boosts the party's ATK/DEF/MAG/RES, and the latter is a 17-hit attack that raises the party's ATK/DEF/MAG/RES/MND and casts Haste on them. Their animations are also pretty awesome, ''Arbiter's Apocrypha'' depicting Tyro summoning a gigantic {{BFS}} to impale the enemy, and ''Fantasy Unbound'' has him call on the main heroes of the game's seventeen main realms to attack the enemy in rapid succession. The problem is that the multipliers on them are just pathetic, and combined with Tyro's pitiful stats, his Overstrike will struggle to break the damage cap his Ultra will deal few hundred damage a hit on average. ''Arbiters Apocrypha'' became slightly more useful once Overstrikes were buffed to only need one Soul Break gauge; while its damage is still pitiful, it's a cheap way to give the party a nifty stat boost if Tyro has a turn and the gauge to spare.

* EvolvingAttack: Zantetsuken gets stronger the angrier Odin gets.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:As a Magicite, Odin easily outclasses all the others the player can obtain, realing Resistance-ignoring damage with its attacks that hit incredibly hard as so, and his normal attacks reduce all elemental resistance. The one up the 6-star Magicites have is buffing the party's elemental attack, which Odin does not do.]]

* VillianProtagonist: [[spoiler: the last few story levels feature him as the playable character before he made his apparent HeelFaceTurn. He joins [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Celes, Locke, Realm, and Shadow on the Floating Continent]] Unfortunately, you don't unlock him afterward]].
