Following game has its own page:
- Final Fantasy V had a fair bit of foreshadowing for the plot twist that Faris was actually Sarisa, Lenna's long-lost older sister.
- Faris quickly changes her mind and decides to help Lenna after seeing that she has the same pendant.
- When the group sees King Tycoon inside the Wind Shrine, Faris visibly reacts to his presence and steps forward.
- The Siren uses illusions of her victims' loved ones to lull them into a stupor and make them vulnerable. Both Lenna and Faris are charmed by seeing an image of King Tycoon.
- Final Fantasy VII:
- The guy Aeris famously describes as being "sick" very early on in has a mysterious tattoo, the meaning of which, as well as the meaning of his illness, is not revealed for quite some time. This is the only hint of its kind during the game's first half that something much bigger than the conflict with Shinra is going on.
- When Cloud is mistaken for a Shinra trooper in Junon and is ordered to put on a uniform for the parade, he mentally reminisces on how proud he was when he first put on his official Shinra uniform. Except, it's just a standard Mook uniform, not a SOLDIER one...
- In Disc 2, Cloud's revelation that he never actually became a SOLDIER 1st class and his memories are fake is heavily foreshadowed during the Flashback to the events in Nibleheim. The first is that Cloud's behavior during that time is the opposite of how he's been acting in the present day. The second is that, if the player goes into houses and talks to NPCs, including his own mother, they all first react as if they do not recognize him, then there's a brief flash of light and they suddenly remember him. As it turns out, Cloud was in Nibleheim, but in the standard infantry uniform, which included a helm that covered his face.
- When Aeris run off into the forest, Sephiroth appears and says, "We must stop that girl soon." Not long after that, Aeris is dead.
- More Aeris foreshadowing: when the party first meets Cait Sith, he tells the party their fortunes. Cloud asks him where to find Sephiroth, and he receives this response: "What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose something dear."
- In Final Fantasy VII Remake:
- Cloud's "Operator Mode" and "Punisher Mode" stances respectively resemble the quick swordsman style of Zack and the Mighty Glacier, ultra-quick movements, samurai-style combat of Sephiroth. This is a much clearer indication than the 1997 version had of where Cloud gets his inspiration from.
- There is a lot of evidence that Aerith is broadly aware of how the events of the game are "supposed" to go: Aerith knows that Cloud is a mercenary, and even goes as far as to cover up her slip-up with a weak excuse ("Uh, I guessed from your sword!"); Aerith seems to know that the Sector 7 plate will drop; she knows that Marlene is Barret's daughter despite this never being mentioned to her and the lack of biological resemblance between them; she is aware from the start that Red XIII is not dangerous and is actually a child among his species, a plot point from the original game that the party never found out until Cosmo Canyon; and she immediately recognises Sephiroth and Jenova and the threat they represent. It is also implied from some of her statements that she knows she is supposed to die.
- Final Fantasy VIII Ultimecia's existence is heavily foreshadowed by the New Era Speech that Edea makes when she takes control of Galbadia, but neither the player nor any of the characters have any way of understanding it at that moment since she's talking about events which will take place in the future. This, coupled with questions that highlight Edea's apparently anomalous antagonism toward SeeD and Garden, organisations she created to combat dangerous sorceresses, hint that the "Edea" the protagonists have been fighting and the one who built said organisations are in fact not the same person. The orphanage reveal is likewise foreshadowed, by both Cid and Irvine.
- The existence of Sorceress Adel is hinted at in the first disk in Timber - the 'static' on the TV is in fact a signal demanding her release from the orbital prison which is so powerful it makes other radio-based communications impossible.
- Final Fantasy IX, halfway through the game when the heroes meet the villain Kuja for the second time, he responds to Zidane's inquiries about his plots with the line "Oh, brother... But you're not ready yet!" On the first playthrough this just seems like uncharacterically crude choice of words from him (he speaks like he's in a Shakespearean play most of the time). After you play the game again, knowing that he and Zidane are brothers, the line seems like such an obvious hint.
- Additionally, there's the treasure chests' respective color. Red representing Gaia and Blue representing Terra. The Blue Light that Zidane was looking for? The Blue Chests are the hints pointing to Zidane's origin, these only available in Terra structures like the Iifa Tree which the platform responded only to Zidane, Oeilvert, Ipsen's Castle and Bran Bal as a whole.
- Final Fantasy X:
- There is a shot of the penultimate boss, and the stage in which you fight him, within the first twenty minutes of the game.
- The first half of the game is absolutely blatant about foreshadowing the fact that Yuna will have to sacrifice herself to stop Sin. It's hard to count the number of times Tidus suggests they come back to a place or do something after they beat Sin, and Yuna just looks sad.
- Also, when the group come across the Moonflow and Tidus says they're coming back "once we beat Sin", we get brief shots of everyone looking saddened.
- When Luzzu leaves to fight in Operation Mi'ihen (in which he dies if you convince Gatta not to go to the front lines), Yuna tries to stop him, only for Auron to tell her that Luzzu has made up his mind, just like she did when she became a summoner. They're both giving their lives to fight Sin in their own way.
- Auron being an unsent is also foreshadowed a lot. Seymour asks him why he is "still here", he refuses to go into the Farplane, for one, and once the party returns and Yuna is forced to send Jyscal, he collapses and starts leaking pyreflies.
- Final Fantasy X-2: After Yuna has a nightmare about herself and Tidus being killed by a firing squad at the start of Chapter 2, Rikku offhandedly tells Yuna to "Blame it on your new jammies!" (the Songstress Dressphere). Turns out a while later that this has real plot relevance: the Songstress Sphere was channeling Lenne's memories (and partially her appearance); hers and Shuyin's traumatic death was the fuel for the nightmare, and the main conflict in the game.
- Final Fantasy XIII: Of all of your starting party members, Vanille has an extra ATB segment and higher starting stats than the rest (which is particularly weird considering Lightning, Snow and Sazh are all trained fighters). Her tattoo also has an arrow immediately after the party is transformed into l'Cie. It is because she has been a l'Cie for far longer than anyone else.
- Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin: Over the course of the game, Jack's companions constantly comment on him "being back" while he's slowly absorbing darkness into his crystal. It turns out it was the part of the plan devised by Jack himself to accumulate enough darkness in order to become Chaos and confront the Lufenians.
