An aesthetic sub-genre of fantasy, focusing on brutal barbarians and arcane wizardly magic.
Terrorists can be found terrorizing people all over the world of video games. While there is no consensus on how to define the term "terrorism", terrorists are generally considered to be people who express their ideals through violence.
What lies ahead, and is distant from the present.
The Turks are an elite organization that perform covert operations for the Shinra Electric Power Company that first appear in Final Fantasy VII.

Bosses that are designed to not be beaten; however, sometimes these bosses can finally be beaten at a later point in the game.
Unrequited love is when one person loves another, but that love is unreturned. It could be unreturned because that person hates the other person, just doesn't love the other person, or doesn't even know he or she is loved by that person.
Weapons can often be upgraded with new attachments, augmentations, or magical enchantments. These upgrades result in the original item being more powerful than originally intended.
Just as heroes sometimes fall from grace, occasionally someone who works for the forces of evil will turn their life around and become a good guy.
A group of villains, each with a different characteristic and ability (or gimmick) that insist on fighting the protagonist one at a time. They may have ridden together, but they never die together.
Experienced soldiers that often feature as mentor characters.
Extremely rare within the worlds they populate, WEAPONs are extremely powerful creatures found within the various realms of the Final Fantasy series. Usually an optional superboss, WEAPONs have also been part of the main story, such is the case with Final Fantasy VII.
Modifications can include, but are not exclusive to, upgrades. Modifications can be superficial changes such as color.
