- I Knew It!: Invoked and discussed by Tetsuya Nomura. After the reveal trailer and demo, even based on the limited knowledge of the game's story they had, a large portion of the fanbase guessed that Jack is/will become Garland. The second trailer directly confirmed this. In an interview Nomura said he wanted this to be The Reveal, but there was little point trying to hide it since players had figured it out, and marketing for the game shifted from teasing the twist to emphasizing the mystery of how it happens.
- Refitted for Sequel: Or rather, Refitted for Spin-Off. According to
Tetsuya Nomura, the original concept for Stranger of Paradise was two different ideas melded into one, which then evolved into this game. The first, which came to Nomura not long after the release of Dissidia 012 in 2011, was a game with action elements centered around conquering locations. The second was a new series of Final Fantasy titles focusing on "the story of an angry man." - Role Reprise:
- Garland is an interesting example. He is voiced by Christopher Sabat, who previously voiced him in Dissidia Final Fantasy, Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015), and World of Final Fantasy Maxima. However, the second demo and release date trailer indicate him to be a Decomposite Character with Chaos; Sabat reprises Chaos, while Jack Garland is voiced by Mocean Melvin. The same applies in Japanese: Kouji Ishii, who took over for the late Kenji Utsumi starting with Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015), reprises the role while Jack is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda.
- The Warrior of Light is reprised by both Toshihiko Seki and Grant George, who have been voicing him since Dissidia Final Fantasy. The Emperor is also reprised by Kenyū Horiuchi and Christopher Corey Smith.
- Gilgamesh is voiced by Keith Szarabajka in English and Kazuya Nakai in Japanese, both of whom have been voicing him since Dissidia 012.
- Writer Kazushige Nojima is on record saying the story evolved from the line about vengeance being like a hunger or a thirst ("It's not a hope or a dream. It's like a hunger. A thirst"), with the rest of the script blossoming from there.
- Though many believe it to be a prequel of sorts to the original Final Fantasy, Producers for the game confirmed before release it's not and by in their own words "It’s probably easiest to think of it as taking place in a parallel universe that sits alongside that original game."
