* In relation to the two examples above, characters [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming named after mythological pantheon]], or [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous popular and historical people]] will have traits or lore inspired by their real-life counterparts. Easily-recognizable ones include Zeus being the god of thunder, Odin riding Slepnir armed with his spear, Thor using Mjolnir, Fenrir being a subordinate of Loki, Shiva the Destroyer, Cagliostro with healing and alchemy, Rackam with a ship, etc... There are also others who deserve a mention as they have subtle alterations from their counterparts:

* A subtle trivia which is concealed by a DubNameChange: In "What Makes the Sky Blue: Paradise Lost", the revival of the Avatar takes place after [[spoiler:the death of Lucifer]]. Avatar takes the appearance of Satan from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'', and the summon stone associated with him in Granblue. In other words (and even though they are treated as separate characters in the franchise of ''Creator/{{Cygames}}''), the event parallels the incident from Literature/TheBible where Satan was the result of Lucifer being deposed.

* The Primal Beast Celeste is a ghost ship that emits fog and steals death. It is based on a real-life ship named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Celeste Mary Celeste]] which is found deserted and drifting in the Atlantic Ocean on its original route to Genoa. For bonus points, an author named Brian Hicks published a book entitled "Ghost Ship", and it is all about Mary Celeste, which is now popularly associated with the term.

* Granblue's Celeste is a ghost ship that emits fog and steals death.

* Depending on the person, the side effects of the "Handsome Gorilla" supplement may vary. But all of the Harvins (and the Captain) all experienced hallucinating everyone's appearances as wild gorillas. This caused the party to attack an unlucky thug. And by the second boss battle, the Harvins ''willingly'' drank the supplement to fight the Elder Harvin who threatens to shut down their book convention. The darker side of this event is that the Grandcypher crew fought innocent civilians, mistaking them as animals due to the "Handsome Gorilla" supplement.

* In the anime, the first thing that Rackam does when the crew encounters the Imperial Mages is to shoot the crystals on their scepters. Said mages only rely on their weapons when casting magic, just like in the game, where their attack animation has them waving their scepters.

* Albert is best known for his Lightning-based attacks, and his passive skill guarantees Double Attacks every turn. Therefore, using him means lightning ''"will strike twice"''.

* Threo's "Ground Zero" skill, with just one press of a button, you can send an attack capable of dealing a large amount of AoE damage that bypasses enemy defenses. What is capable of doing this in real-life, a ''nuclear warhead''. Makes sense gameplay-wise since Ground Zero is one of the strongest "nukes" in the game. But what also sends this to FridgeHorror is a line dropped by Threo after [[spoiler:seeing her beloved forest gone and a town was built in its place, which she ''can'' do if she can't control her emotions]]:

* Activating Dark SSR Vira's Luminiera Merge will overwrite any outfit you have equipped on her. On the other hand, her Grand version's Aegis Merge does not overwrite the equipped outfit. It may initially be considered as a patch fix applied to the latter OR it can possibly be another case of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, considering that when you fight Vira as a boss, her outfit changed and her Dark SSR's Luminiera Merge is a result of an incomplete bond between her and the primal beast. It is only then in her Grand version where there is the benefit of keeping your outfit, because of the complete bond that was formed between Vira and Luminiera.
