Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy IV (1991)

Final Fantasy IV contains several prominent references to the Old Testament, such as the Tower of Babel.

Kain's name comes from the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, in which Cain becomes jealous of Abel and kills him. This parallels the multiple times that Kain betrays Cecil and attempts to kill him. Kain's ultimate weapon is Abel's Lance, alluding to the reference.

Final Fantasy X, like other games in the series, features many references to real world religions and their history. This game in particular alludes to the conflicts between Christianity and Gnosticism; it also depicts the corruption possible within organized religion, and how it can lead to an inversion of its own doctrine.

In Origin Beach, there are two glyphs that are behind the walls in the top left and right corners of the level. These were put in by the developers to answer the question "Why do dolphins live in the sea?"

The left one says:
We hear song in the ocean!
We hear our kind in the sea!
Never have we heard songs in the sea!

The one on the right says:
You sing our song under the waves
Who are you?
Could we sing in the sea?
Could we live in the sea?
Perhaps we will try!

Awakening was intended to be the final game in the series unless the total sales exceeded 250,000 copies, and so the game was filled with homages and features of previous installments. This includes the return of the marriage and inheritance system from Genealogy of the Holy War, the branching promotion trees and free-roam world map of The Sacred Stones, the skill system from various games in the series, and the custom character from Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~. It also included references to previous installments, such as with Owain shouting out the titles of the previous games, the brands possibly referencing the Holy Blood system in Genealogy of the Holy War, and downloadable characters and maps from previous games.

Attachment Dean Hall has stated that the reason for the abundance of Rotten Kiwis throughout the game is because the team's designers "think it's hilarious to pick on [him]". It's likely that Rotten Kiwis refer to Dean's nationality as a New Zealander, colloquially known as Kiwis.

The Ancient Tongue spoken by the game's Laguz characters is actually just an elaborate English font which can easily be translated. Two of the game's characters, the heron Leanne and the wolf Volug, speak almost exclusively in the Ancient Tongue. They appear to be quiet, stoic, and wise characters. However, translating her dialogue reveals Leanne is quite excitable and sassy. Volug is similarly sarcastic; he asks at one point, "You ever wonder what would happen if I just ate everyone we fought? Would the rest keep fighting?"
