* Yuna has tons of referrences along her Soul Breaks: ''Grand Summon'' and ''Grand Summon Overdrive'' has her using her Overdrive to summon Valefor; ''The Sending'' refers to the Summoner ritual of sending the dead to the Farplane; ''Song For Spira'' refers to her carreer as a singer by the start of ''Final Fantasy X-2''.

* Ignis' ''Stalwart Cook'' Burst wouldn't let out the chance to have a referrence to his cooking skills and camp scenes where he and Noctis spend quality time while cooking.

** In FFII, spells had a max level of XVI. Maria's SSB and BSB are "level XVI" spells to fit, but her newly-designed OSB and USB are level [[UpToEleven XXXII]] just to let you know they're that powerful. Her [=AOSB=] and [=AASB=] take yet another step in power up to LXIV.

** His Awakening SB ''Angelic Synergy'' takes this UpToEleven: the animation reproduces the climax of the Bahamut-SIN battle in ''Advent Children''; and its relic, the Brave Blade, is the Fusion Sword he used to finish off Bahamut-SIN.

** Leon's Dark Knight outfit (as of this writing, not yet released in the west) appears both in the Record Dungeons and as a Wardrobe Record. Interestingly, both use different designs: The outfit seen in the Record Dungeons is based on the PSP version[[note]]which was black, made Leon's eyes red and had a more standard mask.[[/note]] while the Wardrobe Record is based on the ''Origins''/''Dawn of Souls'' interpretation[[note]] which was purple, made Leon's eyes yellow and had a mask stylized to have red evil eyes, making him look more monstrous.[[/note]]

** Onion Knight's ''Turbo-Hit'', ''Blowback'', ''Sword and Spell'' and the ''Extra Slice'' command of his Burst Soul Break are all based on his moves from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Two more of his moves, ''Swordshower'' and ''Blade Torrent'' appear as Luneth's Soul Breaks.

* Luneth's ''Eternal Wind'' Soul Break is named after the title of the original game's world map theme.

** The name of Refia's second Ultra Soul Break, ''Forge Pillar'' alludes to her upbringind as an apprentice for the blacksmith Takka.

** Arc's ''Summon Leviath'' Ultra Soul Break features ''FFIII's'' rendition of Leviathan. The name of the Soul Break is a further reference to the spell needed to summon it in ''III''.

** His Arcane Overstrike ''Soul of Darkness'' symbolically depicts his separation from his friends, with each of the three slashes dividing him from Guy, Firion, and Maria in turn. The slash that divids him from Firion scatters rose petals about, representing Firion's particular association with the Wild Rose symbol in crossover games. The slash that divides him from Maria separates them with a wall of fire, representing the moment when Maria called out to him during their confrontation in the Dreadnought's engine room, and Leon turned away.

* Luneth's Unique Soul Break, "Advance" is based on the ability of the same name for the (fittingly enough) Warrior job from the remake.

* Ingus's Soul Breaks tend to namedrop Titan in one way or another, referring potentially to either the summon or the Earth Crystal boss. A few other things such as Burst commands or his Record Materia also namedrop Sasune, the kingdom he serves.

* Cloud Of Darkness' ''Tentacle of Pain'', ''Fusillade Particle Beam'', ''Anti-air Particle Beam'', ''0-form Particle Beam'' and ''Convergent Particle Beam'' Soul Breaks are all taken from her appearances in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''.

** The sword that was given out as a login bonus to commemorate the release of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' is Iron Blade, the second sword he automatically gets in the game after his iconic Buster Sword and its SB, ''Triple Slash'', functions similarly to the ATB skill in ''Remake''.

** The Ultimania guide for ''Final Fantasy III'' lists a virtue of each hero in their bio, described as their Light. Refia’s Light is Affection. This is referenced directly by her ''Light of Affection'' Legend Materia, as well as her ''Bridled Love'' Glint.

** In his ''Gaian Promise'' Soul Break, a picture of the Sasune throne room from the Famicom version of III appears.

* The Ultimania guide for ''Final Fantasy III'' lists a virtue of each character in their bio, described as their Light. Refia’s Light is Affection. This is referenced directly by her ''Light of Affection'' Legend Materia, as well as her ''Bridled Love'' Glint.

* Arc's ''Summon Leviath'' Ultra Soul Break features ''FFIII's'' rendition of Leviathan. The name of the Soul Break is a further reference to the spell needed to summon it in ''III''.

** Desch's Awakening (JP-only at the time of this writing) is one of the soul break's which determines the potency of the effect by how many girls there are in the party. This is a reference to a skit where, after gaining the Enterprise, Desch comments how the group can go to exotic ports [[HandsomeLech and meet exotic women]].

* Aria's ''Seabourne Encounter'' Soul Break depicts her encounter with the Warriors of Light by showing Luneth giving her a bottle to cure his illness.

* Ceodore's Awakening, ''Shimmering Cross'', gives him massive buffs that turn him into a LightningBruiser with no equal for 3 turns on top of the normal Awakening buffs, referring his unique command in his original game, likewise called Awaken, which healed him to full and doubled all his stats for 3 turns, at the cost of reducing him to single digit HP after those 3 turns or after the battle ends, whichever comes first, and like Awaken, Awakening Soul Breaks can also only be used once per battle.

* Terra's ''Magitek Missile'', ''Fire Beam'' and ''Omen'' Soul Breaks involve her using the Magitek Armor to attack her enemies, as a reference to the intro segment of the game when she was brainwashed to attack Narshe along with Biggs and Wedge while riding it, with Omen also showing a short segment of the 3 of them walking towards Narshe taken from the opening credits sequence.

** His limited-time BSB, ''Sonic Blade'', is one of his signature moves in the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' series. He also has ''Cherry Blossom'', a move unique to his ''Final Fantasy Tactics'' moveset learned from the very blade he needed to use his attacks, the Materia Blade.

** Sora's Awakening is based on the Eternal Session Limit Break from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', specifically the section of the Limit Break where Sora and Riku can rush the enemy with the ''Master Hearts'' attack. Because the Limit Break was done in combination with Riku, its follow-up attack, Blitz (itself a reference to a combo finisher Sora has had since ''Kingdom Hearts 1'') is stronger if Riku is in the party.

** The Ultra Soul Break ''Keyblade Unleashed'' is the strongest attack Roxas uses during Sora's fight against him in ''Kingdom Hearts 2''; the one where he flies into the air and launches keyblades made of light. The followup attack it povides, ''Dual Arcanum'', is a move used by varios Roxas cards in ''Unchained Chi''.

* Ceodore's Awakening, ''Shimmering Cross'', gives him massive buffs that turn him into a LightningBruister with no equal for 3 turns on top of the normal Awakening buffs, referring his unique command in his original game, likewise called Awaken, which healed him to full and doubled all his stats for 3 turns, at the cost of reducing him to single digit HP after those 3 turns or after the battle ends, whichever comes first, and like Awaken, Awakening Soul Breaks can also only be used once per battle.
