History Trivia / DissidiaFinalFantasyOperaOmnia

** With the announcement of the game's shut down on February 29th, 2024 it was decided that Global Server would no longer be receiving any new story chapters nor any of the unreleased weapons or characters that the Japan serves already have been able to enjoy. This means [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Amarant]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Rufus Shinra]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Xezat]], and [[VideoGame/CrisisCore Angeal]] will never be playable for Global players even though they are fully programmed and just need translations.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Sometime between Year One and Year Two of the game's lifetime data-miners (people who go into the code of the game to find things that have been added which can be potential release spoilers) found character and weapon artwork for [[VideoGame/CrisisCore Angeal]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Amarant]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]], however Amarant and Angeal would not be released until Year Six of the game, with Rikku having not yet been added. As this information was found via hacking, it's also not like players can ask the creators why they weren't added, although an unrelated interview did mention how Rikku is hard to include in any game with voice acting due to the voice actor being very expensive to hire at this point.

** In regards to Rikku, Hazama assures that she will be added to the game ... eventually. He confirms there are just some complications in including her in any new titles.[[note]]Rikku's original voice actor, Marika Matsumoto, changed representation between ''Final Fantasy X'' and now, so it actually is very expensive to bring her back for any Rikku-related project since she would have to be hired without a contract.[[/note]]

* OutOfOrder: Sephiroth's Intersecting Wills chapter released in Global months before it would have if going off the original JP release dates. Not only did this introduce Jihl Nabaat before her actual Lost Chapter, but it directly referenced Kefka's plot in Act 4, Chapter 3, Part 2 that wouldn't be released until a few weeks later. The game actually calls attention to this; changing its normal warning that players may be lost if they're not completely caught up to outright telling players this event is referencing plot elements that have not happened yet.

Not only did this introduce the strange circumstance of introducing Jihl Nabaat before her actual Lost Chapter, but it directly referenced Kefka's plot in Act 4, Chapter 3, Part 2 that would be released a few weeks after instead of well beforehand.

* ActingForTwo: May also overlap with TalkingToHimself in some cases:

* NamesTheSame:
** The Mog of ''Opera Omnia'' has the same name as Serah's moogle companion, who is present and [[ShapeshifterModeLock stuck in his bow form]], though goes unnamed. This trope also applies to the Mog from ''FFVI'', though this Mog is the only playable one. The same goes for all the Cids - with two Cids currently in the game (one from ''FFVII'' and the other from ''FFXIII''), and no one mentions how they all know someone else with the same name in their worlds (at least until Cid Highwind's Lost Chapter, in which they just chalk it up to coincidence).
** During Aranea's Intersecting Wills chapter, she and Ceodore realize they both know people named Biggs and Wedge (a "Biggs and Wedge" have been featured in several different ''Final Fantasy'' games as something of a RunningGag, similar to Cid).
** Jack Garland of ''Stranger of Paradise'' shares his forename with Jack from Type-0 and his surname with Garland of ''Final Fantasy I''.

** [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi Bartz]] and Exdeath have had voices since ''Dissidia'' (the latter had cases of TheOtherDarrin however), and Creator/KazuyaNakai returns from a few cameos for Gilgamesh, but this is the first time that the rest of the party's been voiced. So for the three other ladies in Bartz' life, how about we get ''Creator/RieTanaka'' to voice Faris, '''''Creator/YukariTamura''''' to do Krile, and somehow get '''''[[Creator/AyakoKawasumi Ayako]] [[PrecisionFStrike Fuckmothering]] [[Creator/AyakoKawasumi Kawasumi]]''''' to take time away from her insanely lucrative [[Franchise/FateSeries Sabering]] job to voice Lenna? Sure, said Square, let's do that. The sole cast member to not be quite as famous is Galuf, as he is voiced by veteran character actor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Naka Hiroshi Naka]].

** [[Creator/HiroyaIshimaru Edge]], [[Creator/TesshoGenda Yang]], [[Creator/RieKugimiya Palom and Porom]] retain their voice actors from the DS remakes of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''.

** The reason for the lack of ''Final Fantasy Tactics'' and ''Final Fantasy XIV'' representatives both boil down to the same excuse; the team that handles both projects is currently busy. It is standard practice for any new character or new attack to be added to ''Opera Omnia'' to talk to the original team in charge of that franchise first for feedback to make sure the end result will be accurate to the character in question[[note]]The example Hazama gives is Ramza's LD Attack, which was a completely original Samurai-inspired attack made just for ''DFFOO'' with help from the ''Tactics'' team[[/note]]. The same team is currently in charge of both ''Tactics'' and ''XIV'' and have been unavailable for consultation at this time (and will likely continue to be unavailable for several additional months due to their work on ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'' and other projects), but Hazama assures fans that based on his time working on the game, the devs are very genuine about wanting to include more reps once the team in charge of those games is available.

** As for Red XIII, simply put because Red XIII is a quadruped he will require a completely original model made from scratch, including new emotes for only himself (walking, running, extending arm, looking pensive, etc.). Basically, it is easier to put off the extra work while they still have other humanoid characters they can implement with less effort.[[note]]Even non-human characters like Cait Sith and Mog are still bipedal for the most part, so can piggyback on the pre-existing emotes[[/note]]

** In regards to Rikku, Hazama assures that she will be added to the game ... eventually. He confirms there are just some complications in including her in any new titles.
*** For example of said issues; Rikku's original voice actor, Marika Matsumoto, changed representation between ''Final Fantasy X'' and now, so it actually is very expensive to bring her back for any Rikku-related project since she would have to be subcontracted through her new studio by her old studio.

** In regards to Rikku, Hazama assures that she will be added to the game ... eventually. He confirms she will actually have a fairly important role at her time of inclusion that has been decided beforehand, which explains her delay.
*** In addition, there's also the issue of Rikku's original voice actor, Marika Matsumoto, to deal with. Matsumoto changed representation between ''Final Fantasy X'' and now, so it actually is very expensive to bring her back for any Rikku-related project since she would have to be subcontracted through her old studio by her new studio.
