But if you bring a party to the WutaiTheft quest that doesn't contain anyone who had previously encountered Don Corneo (e.g. with Cid as leader), the scene changes to make it clear that neither Cid nor the Don have any idea who the other character is or why they're messing with each other.

Summoning Anima against Seymour Omnis (the only battle against any of Seymour's forms in which you might have Anima) has Seymour comment "You would stand against oppose me as well? So be it!"

If the player does so, the plotline will still progress -- but he won't appear again later, making it much more difficult to obtain his summon.

However, you can use your newly acquired GlobalAirship to fly to a town that sells silver/mithril equipment before going to the dungeon. Since silver is a non-ferrous metal and mithril's like silver, they're completely unaffected by magnetism, so you can use them in the Dark Elf's cave without penalty.

** The boss Omniscient normally exclusively uses powerful spells, but is vulnerable to the Berserk and Silence statuses. Sounds simple right? Unfortunately Omniscient also has one of the highest attack stats in the game, capable of one-shotting party members, and will put it to use if his magic isn't available. While there are still ways to deal with this, its a clever counter to what could've have been a cheesy tactic.

They even have dialogue for scenes that it's not possible to legitimately access with Cid or Tifa as leader; like the buggy breaking, or [[AntiFrustrationFeatures leaving the Chocobo outside the mines if you haven't been to Kalm yet]].
** Normally, Don Corneo'sreappearence reappearance is a time for Cloud (and/or Tifa and Aerith) to face an old enemy again, and the sequence is written like that. But if you bring a party to the WutaiTheft quest that doesn't contain anyone who had previously encountered Don Corneo (e.g. with Cid as leader), the scene changes to make it clear that neither Cid nor the Don have no any idea who the other character is or why they're messing with each other.

** The PostFinalBoss is supposed to be finished off by unleashing Cloud's LimitBreak. But, if you just stand there and do nothing, Sephiroth will eventually attack Cloud. This attack is gravity-based, so it can't kill Cloud. Even then, Cloud will automatically counter-attack. Sephiroth also has only one HP, so Cloud's attack will be enough to kill him, no matter how weak he is. In fact, searching the game's code shows just how much foresight went to this battle. Attack Sephiroth and do no damage? Attempt an attack and miss? Attack and ''heal'' him? He'll still go down.

** If the Aurochs win the blitzball tournament, and especially if Tidus played well in the game, Tidus will be recognized by other blitzball players and fans. Depending on who won the game between the Aurochs and the Goers, you'll get different dialog with certain Aurochs or Goers fans. The sports commentators will also have some different lines depending on how the game is going.

* The Dark Elf's cave in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' is surrounded with a strong magnetic aura that prevents any metallic equipment from being used, since the Dark Elf is weak against metallic weapons. Ordinarily, if any of your characters is using any metal equipment in this dungeon, they'll be afflicted with a permanent Paralyze status. However, you can use your newly acquired GlobalAirship to fly to a town that sells silver/mithril equipment before going to the dungeon. Since silver is a non-ferrous metal and mithril's like silver, they're completely unaffected by magnetism, so you can use it in the Dark Elf's cave without penalty.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', Krile gets knocked out by a psychic migraine from Ghido. If you return to Bal before completing the Barrier Tower, she'll respond with the same line about Ghido calling. Since Ghido is halfway around the world and requires a new vehicle to reach him, it's pretty common to move right on to the Forest of Moore after you finally get to him. But if you ''do'' go all the way back to Xezat's fleet, grab the wind drake, and fly all the way back to Bal, Krile will say that her headache has cleared right up (although Galuf tells her to stay in bed anyway).
** In the same game, during Galuf's LastStand against Exdeath, it's normal for the player to spend most or all the fight at 0 HP -- but if you use the Blue Magic [[TakingYouWithMe Self-Destruct]], the fight ends instantly no matter how much damage you've done to Exdeath.
* When you reach Ramuh and Esper Terra in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', the dialogue for your party members is non-specific, each party member saying the same thing, no matter who's in what position. But if you take a party that consists of just WildChild Gau to this encounter, the dialogue changes to properly reflect his HulkSpeak.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has a few instances where a character that the player couldn't possibly use at that point still has dialogue coded in to prevent the game from crashing. For instance:
** Tifa and Cid get special dialogue for generic sidequests if you do them when they're leading the party.

** In areas where you can talk to all your party members, the developers added dialogue for Aerith, Kid Cloud and Sephiroth at those points, in case players hacked the game to add those characters to their party. This is incidentally what spawned (or at least fueled) the rumours that [[UrbanLegendOfZelda there was a way to revive Aerith]], as players noted that she had new dialogue if she was hacked back into the party after her death.

** Quina is an OptionalPartyMember during the first disc. If you recruit him/her, the game will acknowledge that s/he is with the party during Disc 2, and s/he is PutOnABus via a RunningGag where Quina is almost always the one left behind. Returning to Qu Marsh on Disc 2 will have Quina greeting Zidane&Co and Zidane asking how s/he escaped Cleyra. If the player did not recruit Quina in Disc 1, then the scene that plays when they just meet Quina for the first time plays.
** The Soft item cures the Petrify status. Using a Soft on stone enemies will instantly kill them. This and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' are the only games where it is possible to do this. This can even be used to defeat Soulcage (normally a fairly challenging boss) instantly.
** Garnet/Dagger starts out with a Summon option, but all the Summons have MP costs that are far too high to be able to be used until a plot event unlocks her latent summoning powers, at which point the MP cost for the Summons drops. If you grind excessively until you have enough MP to use the summons before said plot event... you can use Shiva but you ''still'' can't use the rest of them, because Garnet's power hasn't been awakened yet.

** While it's a big GuideDangIt, it's possible to obtain the aeon Anima just after defeating Sin for the final time. The cutscene that plays once you get it reveals that Anima was created from Seymour's mother becoming a fayth. Summoning Anima against Seymour Omnis (the only battle against any of Seymour's forms in which you might have Anima) has Seymour comment "You would stand against me as well? So be it!"
** A plot point is that Rikku is afraid of thunder. If she is hit with a Thunder-element attack, you'll hear her scream, whereas everyone else will just say [[DullSurprise "Ow"]] or something else.
** {{Backtracking}} is purely optional throughout most of the game, (and time consuming) but if you do so starting after Operation Mi'ihen, you'll get a lot of extra content. For example:
*** NPC dialog is updated as events happen in the game. For example backtracking after Operation Mi'ihen, people will be talking about what happened and the fallout from it. Once Seymour proposes to marry Yuna, that will then become a major topic among the [=NPCs=].
*** After Operation Mi'ihen, one Crusader will say that their losses were so severe they won't be able to perform their normal function of patrolling the roads and protecting travelers. He'll also say that he heard that [[CorruptChurch the Yevon warrior monks]] and the Guado will be picking up the slack. Sure enough, if you go backwards you'll find the warrior monks and Guado patrolling in place of the Crusaders.
*** [=NPCs=] go on with their lives as you go about your quest. Repeatedly backtracking and talking to everyone will sometimes result in you seeing the lives and situations of no name [=NPCs=] changing multiple times.
** If the Aurochs win the blitzball tournament, and especially if Tidus played well in the game, Tidus will be recognized by other blitzball players and fans. Depending on who won the game between the Aurochs and the Goers, you'll get different dialog with certain Aurochs or Goers fans. The sports commentators will also have some different lines depending on how the game is going.
** At one point, there's a scene in The Farplane where both Trommel and Lulu are there, each looking for someone significant to them who is presumed dead. If you haven't defeated and sent the souls of those two people yet, there will be a different scene with different dialog.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', completing certain quests in different orders will yield slightly different NPC dialog to reflect this. For example, if you complete "The Adventure of the Fainting Goldsmith" before "Manderville Men", then when you meet Godbert Manderville a second time, he will remember that you gave him a fantastic massage and will thus recognize you as "s/he of strong yet supple fingers".
