4 Things You Never Knew About FFIV...

[Wolf Kanno]

121. Since I am playing FFXI right now, ever wonder why Odin is associated with Dark Knights in XI? Likely as a callback to FFIV as the King of Baron is heavily implied to be a practitioner of the Dark blade, seeing how he handpicks the candidates that can undergo the training, but also because he becomes the summon Odin after his death. This correlational is likely why the Dark Knight class and darkness are always associated with Odin, that and the insta-kill attack of course. Likewise, Odin in FFIX is learned by equipping the Dark Matter accessory. Not coincidentally, the Dark Matter item debuted in... you guessed it, FFIV.

122. There is an interesting trend in FFIV that shows that the Village of Mist and the denizens of Mysidia don't use last names. In fact, barring Rosa, there is no single predominately mage-centric character in FFIV who has an actual last name.
