AVALANCHE is an anti-Shinra group. They believe that the extraction of Mako energy harms the planet. That's why they target the Mako Reactors with their attacks.
Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
Species of large yellow birds used as transportation in the Final Fantasy series. Chocobos have also starred in their own games.
Climbing is a common tradition in games, particularly platformers. There is often a particular type of surface that can be climbed, and it has a recognizably different look than other surfaces in the game. Climbing ladders or stairs doesn't count.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.

Animals that can be ridden by players to get around faster.
CD or DVD based games that are shipped in a single package with 2 or more discs due to limited storage capacity.
The maybe not-so-intended consequence of an enemy's own body parts being on their loot table and the player character being able to steal.
A broad spectrum of games can be described as remakes, from straightforward graphical overhauls to extensive revision of gameplay and story elements. In the most basic sense, a remake keeps the original's core gameplay and plot but makes significant changes to peripheral aspects.
A sequel (also called a follow-up) is a game that carries forward the gameplay concepts, and often the story, of a previous game to which it is officially linked.
Male characters who are depicted in an overtly sexual manner.
Slashing weapons are designed to cut and slice rather than causing blunt trauma. Examples include swords, axes, claws, naginatas, or even whips.
SpeedTree is a software toolkit that generates realistic forests on the fly.
