** Most story events have a boss rush as their bonus stage, with a 10% rainbow ticket as its final reward. These originally ramped in difficulty, with some reaching the same difficulty levels as end-game content, but have largely tapered off since Cid's event.

** August 2020 had the limited-time Boss Rush Survival event. It has three difficulty levels: BGN, INT, and ADV. BGN is a relatively simple rush of generic boss enemies. INT requires some tricky combination of elemental physical and magical damage to pass, cspping off with the original iteration of the Bomb Family trial. ADV requires beating the Scorn versions of the Ice Bird and the Bomb Family trials, a task that is largely dependent on your ability to gear against elemental damage.

** In the Dark Visions event, points are awarded based on single-turn damage, which is the most valuable point category. This encourages strategies where you attempt to reach thr damage cap for the full reward, far exceeding the health of the enemies you face.

** In the PlayerVersusPlayer arena, damage for a single attack of any type is capped at 999. This includes attacks that have multiple hits; for example, a basic attack that hits twice would do 500 damage for one hit and 499 for the other. Note that abilities which count as multiple attacks (Barrage, Dual Wield, Dualcasting, etc.) apply the cap to each individual attack, rather than the whole set. {{Fixed Damage Attack}}s are likewise capped. {{Percent Damage Attack}}s are just disabled, as they would be easy damage otherwise. However, there ''is'' a workaround -- [[CombinationAttack chained attacks]] increase the damage of a hit by 10% (30% if elemental) for each hit in the chain, up to a maximum of 300%, regardless of whether or not the damage done will surpass the cap. With a large enough setup chain, a single attack can be made to do up to 3996 damage (finishing a chain with an esper or Rikku's Sunburst, for example).

** Each ability-based stat buff has a cap of 300%, which was later increased to 400%. This also applies when calculating equipment attack boosts from traits like Doublehand, True Doublehand, and True Dual Wield.
** The maximum amount of gil a player can have is 100 million. It seems like a lot, but it's easier to earn than one might think, especially if you aren't summoning 5* units on a regular basis.
** During raid events, the maximum amount of damage the game will record is 999,999,999. Not an easy number to reach, but doing so will earn a modest bonus to the number of raid coins you receive.
** The maximum amount of damage the player can do in any single turn/hit is 2,147,483,647. This is because the number is stored in a 32-bit integer, and that is the absolute maximum value it can store. This has no practical effect on gameplay -- anything you could do that much damage to isn't meant to be a serious challenge -- and mostly serves as a milestone for players to reach.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: Because PowerCreep (both in general and compared to the Japanese version) has accelerated faster than the increase in stats for story characters, the endgame for Season 2 is much less difficult than the endgame for season 1 when you account for units and abilities available at their respective releases. Whereas [[spoiler: Behemoth K]] could easily perform a TotalPartyKill unless particular tank units were used, and [[spoiler: Sol of the Eight Sages]] was infamously ThatOneBoss unless the player had access to [[spoiler: Veritas of the Dark]] as a Vision, the BigBad of Season 2 [[spoiler: Emperor Vlad in his various guises]] was vulnerable to any number of 7-star chainers, not to mention how he could easily be chipped away with access to any of the several buffers and/or debuffers that have been released. Plus, while the Season 1 bosses all required lots of luck to receive particular five-star base characters, Season 2 introduced step-up banners and five-star select summon tickets to make it much easier to acquire particular characters so as to build the player's preferred party.

* Gainaxing: A common feature for most female units in the game. Notable examples include Domino, Summer Lid, and Barbariccia.

* MultipleHealthBars: Barrier skills grant a second buffer health bar to units, averaging around 2000 HP. It can help you survive an attack or two, and it also has the property of not being affected by Gravity-type health reduction attacks. Some bosses can likewise cast barriers on themselves, to the tune of several million HP, but these can be dispelled.

* KaizoTrap: When Shrinyu hits 0 HP, it will unleash a DesperationAttack; if it kills all your units (and none of them have Reraise), the Trial counts as failed. The Gargantuan Gigantuar has a similar trap when it hits 0 HP; however it deals a fixed, unavoidable [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 1 million damage]], ''requiring'' a Reraise.
** Mooks accompanying Trial bosses typically berserk after killing the main boss, often ensuring a fail.

** The Christmas event is an Expy of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''. In addition, Kryla's attack animation, which involves her sprinkling magic powder into her cauldron, is identical to Salt Bae.

** The second Christmas event, Eternal Winter, is an Expy of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''. One of the items available for purchase is outright implied to be Elsa's gown, complete with "Let It Snow!" as an ability.

* AscendedMeme: White Witch Fina's original hat, an orange witch's hat, made her a laughingstock. It looked like a traffic cone, leading to many nicknames and memes. As a response, Gumi redesigned her sprite to make the hat white for the next Halloween event, but sold the old orange hat in a premium bundle.

* AttackReflector: The Reflect buff causes any magic attack that would hit the target to bounce back at the opposing team, either to the individual that used it or the entire party if it's an [=AoE=] attack. In addition, if someone in your own party has the buff and you deliberately target them with magic (healing, for example), it will hit the enemy instead. It doesn't work against spells which ignore a portion of magic defense, such as Ultima, and most level 8 spells will also bypass it. Dispel magic trumps it.

* BalanceBuff: Some units received new (or buffed) skills as part of a transition from Japan to Global. For example, Rem transforms from a MasterOfNone to a strong magical finisher with Dagger Boomerang, and she gains Dual Wield Daggers innately as opposed to getting them from enhancements in JP. Even those who were considered to be strong units like Roy or Wilhelm aren't immune from buffs.

** Averted with Sheratan, especially involving tanks. Despite [=AoE=] physical cover tanks being highly sought after, the fight does not feature any [=AoE=] physical moves to cover. If you have a Provoke tank, you can just have a provoke tank and a cover tank to take the edge off of him. Ironically, this makes Cecil a better tank for her than Warrior of Light (who was infamously hyped and delayed for two months as the next step above Cecil) due to having a significantly higher chance to proc his ST Cover.

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Your party is limited to five units you own plus a companion unit belonging to another player. Arena and Coliseum battles don't allow companions. The Chamber of Arms allows ten units: five as the main party and five as backup which can be swapped out each turn. However, companions and duplicate units are forbidden.

* TheCameo: About half of the visions are characters from earlier ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games. ''VideoGame/BraveFrontier'', ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'', ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', ''VideoGame/KingsKnight'', ''VideoGame/TombRaider'', ''VideoGame/JustCause'', ''VideoGame/StarOcean'', ''VideoGame/DeusExMankindDivided'', ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'', and ''VideoGame/SecretofMana'' characters also appear. This isn't just the heroes; prominent [=NPCs=] and villains join the fray. Ariana Grande and Katy Perry also appear in the game.

** During raid events, the most difficult version of the boss only has four million health. However, the game awards a damage bonus based on how much overkill you can do, which in turn affects the amount of raid coins you will earn from the battle. The bonus is modest, earning a few hundred more coins per raid depending on your damage output.

** Version 3.4.0 saw relatively minor bugs, but one stood out: the story event bug. If the app stopped in the middle of a dungeon with multiple stages, like a story event or Steel Castle Melfikya, the event only counted that singular stage for rewards and kicked you out of the entire dungeon. This caused lots of wasted stamina and energy, time, and money. While it received only minor frustration due to Folka's story event being almost over, people started to get angry when the bug went unfixed for a month and carried over to Ignacio's event. The player base saw it as the developers mailing it in, and it caused one of the largest consumer riots in the history of the game.

* PensieveFlashback: Late in Season 2, Lasswell and his group ([[spoiler:Physalis and the Sworn Six]] -- dang, they're all {{Walking Spoiler}}s) get disrupted while trying to teleport to TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. They get trapped in a weird version of HyperspaceOrSubspace that is populated with crystallized memories, which they view as they try to find an exit. They are memories of the first confrontation with the Season's BiggerBad, which has just happened: Rain uses a new technique to NoSell the villain's attack, and they chase him through a teleporter. Only, the flashbacks tell a different story: [[spoiler:the attack lands, with the result that [[KillEmAll every person viewing the memories is seen to have died in them]]. Rain, the SoleSurvivor, gets helped by an Akstar who still has all his limbs and eyes. This eventually leads to the revelation of our missing-limbed-Akstar's true identity.]]
