GAMEPLAY HINTS

Final Fantasy 7 references

After you come to the Farplane Abyss in Chapter 5, go back to the Celsius. Talk to Shinra and he will say that there is a "limitless amount of energy down there" and that "It could be the life of the planet". Ge then says that it is possible to harness that energy and use for power across Spira. This is a Mako reference to Final Fantasy 7. He also restates the plan of the Shinra company.

Once you obtain the Mascot Dressphere, have Rikku wear it. The costume is an oversize plush version of Cait Sith, a former fortune telling, robotic spy cat in Final Fantasy 7. It also says his name in the "Wildcat" moves such as "Cait Thunder".

Final Fantasy 10 weapon references

Previous weapons from the Final Fantasy 10 can be seen used by the characters in certain Dress Spheres:

Irwin Oroceo and Fakey McFake.
Brotherhood (Tidus): Yuna uses it when set to Warrior Dress Sphere.
Rod (Yuna): Set Yuna to White Mage Dress Sphere.
