* BatmanGambit and KansasCityShuffle- Sephiroth has been running a massive one from square one.

This fanfiction, written by [=IluvAUs=] on fanfiction.net, is set post-Kingdom Hearts 2. It goes off of the [[WildMassGuessing somewhat insane fan theory]] of [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Riku and Sora]] being related to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth and Cloud]], though it manages to avoid the typical DieForOurShip implications that many others of the same ilk run into, and is fairly well written. It has now been completed, with a possible sequel in the works. The [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5523171/1/ link.]]

* ActionGirl- Kairi's molding into one.
* AGodAmI- Sephiroth.

* BodyHorror - [[spoiler: Vincent's transformation into Chaos. Unpleasant.]]

* {{Doomed Hometown}}- [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Well]] [[KingdomHearts duh]].

* ShipTease - Very much in keeping with the source medium, the author has hinted several times towards Sora and Kairi being the pairing, though Sora's sometimes unusually strong reactions to what happens to Riku hint more towards the {{Ho Yay}} seen by [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]] in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

* {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} - Kairi, after witnessing [[spoiler: an armada of ships Sephiroth commands orbitally bombarding Radiant Garden]], gets [[UnstoppableRage really pissed off]], and proceeds to [[spoiler: run right into the ravaged town square to the Gummi Ship, pilot it, and single-handedly manages to destroy a nice fraction of Sephiroth's forces.]]
** Vincent also gets one on Notre Dame as he [[spoiler: overcomes his inhibitions about using Chaos form, and proceeds to rescue Kairi from being burned at the stake.]]

* {{Crowning Moment of Funny}} - Kairi trying to get the boys' attention [[spoiler: while Esmeralda is dancing.]] Pushed into [=CMoF=] territory by the fact that [[spoiler: VINCENT, of all people, is also affected by her charms, and it is only with great effort that he can focus.]]

** [[spoiler: SEPHIROTH, of all people, has one with Riku when he rescues the boy from the torture he faced, and is confronted with the feelings of being a father.]]
** [[spoiler: Kairi and Sora share one after Kairi rescues Sora from the Derris Emblem.]]
** [[spoiler: After Sephiroth is killed, Cloud tells Sora he is [[SoProudOfYou proud of him.]]]]

* AndThisIsFor- See CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

** Also done in [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome AMAZINGLY EPIC]] fashion [[spoiler: when defeating Kadaj with four Limit Breaks]].

** And, in what could qualify as a [[CrowningMomentofAwesome CMoA]] for Vincent, he says to Hojo [[spoiler: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Deserve. Hell.]]]]

* RousingSpeech- Vincent and Kairi deliver [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome most epic ones]] to Sora to get him to fight once more.

** Anime/{{Code Geass}} even gets a wink when Riku muses to himself [[spoiler: as the island burns around him]].
** {{Revenge of the Sith}} gets a nod in an exchange between Riku and Sora.

* {{Alas Poor Villain}}- [[spoiler: Kadaj's send off was rather heartwarming- until Sephiroth interrupted it.]]

* {{Genre Savvy}}- Sephiroth can have his moments of this.
** [[spoiler: Riku seems to swing back and forth between this and grabbing the Villain Ball... Sometimes doing the latter to be Genre Savvy.]]

* MotiveRant - Sephiroth delivers this to QUISTIS of all people, as a BatmanGambit to [[spoiler: maintain her brainwashed trust]]. In a rare moment of GenreSavvy, he [[spoiler: avoids mentioning the specifics on how his ultimate goal is to be carried out]].

* {{Batman Gambit}}- [[spoiler: Riku pulls one to lure out Sora's Super-Powered Evil Side to be able to use the Keyblade {{For Massive Damage}}]].

* {{Badass}}- [[spoiler: Riku, facing down Rydia's Eidolon, Titan, coolly stares at it, and then proceeds to slice the thing in half before it can even make a move to harm him.]]
