Allusions
* It is implied in-game that in a previous clash between Chaos and Cosmos, Terra was forced, against her will, to fight on the side of Chaos, which is an allusion to her enslavement to the Gestahlian Empire. This is confirmed in the Dissidia Ultimania guide. As another nod to Terra's enslavement, during the battle against her in Destiny Odyssey III, the enemy data for her lists her as wearing a "Slave Crown". After escaping from her enslavement, she decided to switch sides, under her own will, to that of Cosmos, possibly to redeem herself.
* Terra's strongest exclusive weapon is named after her father, Maduin.
* Terra's other unique weapons are maces in Final Fantasy VI. They are used by Terra, Celes, Strago, Relm, and Gogo. The maces are all long-ranged. This shows that Terra is proficient in melee and long-ranged combatant, with both physical and magical attacks.
* Terra's Trance ability in the original game only doubles her stats and it doesn't give the DualCast ability. The DualCast ability is maybe a reference to the Soul of Thamasa relic, as it gives the DualCast ability.
* Terra's partnership with the Onion Knight is a reference to her attachment to the children of Mobilz, where she is found after the Apocalypse, and the reason for her continued existence after the disappearance of magic and Espers after Kefka's defeat.
* Her innate fire abilities are also expressed in the game, as her Fire Magics deals much stronger damage than her Ice Magics.
* In Shade Impulse C4-1, Terra says, Lets fight to protect the future together. And well definitely go back home. based on her line when rejoining the party after the Apocalypse.
* One of Terra's victory quotes, Everyone lusts for power, it seems, references her own initially unstable powers (although she later learns to control them) and the line she spoke in front of General Leo's grave.
Trivia
* Terra's original face artworkThe image of Terra on the Potion energy drink is not based on her finalized artwork, but an earlier version of her artwork before Tetsuya Nomura redesigned her face. This same earlier version was the first artwork released of Terra before her full artwork was released.
* Tetsuya Nomura has stated that Terra is his favorite character in Dissidia, as he likes long-range attacks and is particularly fond of her Tornado ability.
* In the story timeline, Terra is the fourth to acquire her crystal according to Destiny Odyssey 76.
* Terra is the only current female Warrior of Cosmos, however Shantotto, previous Warrior of Cosmos, is female. Tetsuya Nomura also wanted to include another female Warrior of Cosmos, Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. However, he felt that this could have affected Final Fantasy XIII in the process by locking down the image of the character's skills and so forth, and so she was ultimately excluded. Also, Nomura stated that if Terra wasn't in the line-up of Dissidia, there wouldn't be any female Warriors of Cosmos.
* Terra, along with Cloud, Squall, and the Onion Knight, fight one of their allies as a boss in their story. Terra's boss fight is against Cloud, and Terra herself is the Onion Knight's boss fight in his story.
* Despite Dissidia having most of their references coming from the original titles, Terra's Flood was only available in the Advance version of FFVI by means of acquiring the bonus esper Leviathan.
* Excluding Shantotto and Gabranth, Terra and Cloud were the last two characters confirmed for the main roster of characters; Kefka was confirmed before Terra.
* Terra is the only warrior of Cosmos who can fly and hover, although others can glide, air dash, perform mid-air re-leaps, or jump high and far distances.
* Unlike all the other player characters, whose equipment set are exactly of what they equip in their respective original games, Terra's weapon arsenal in Dissidia is completely different from that of her original game. In Dissidia, she can equip rods, staves, and daggers, but in Final Fantasy VI, she can't equip the first two, though she can use a limited set of daggers, for she mainly uses knightswords and giant swords. Also, her armor set is also different, though she can equip all clothing in her original game, for half of her armor is heavy armor.
* Squall and Terra are the only heroes who are helped by other heroes before their fights with their respective villains. The heroes who helps Terra are Cloud Strife and Onion Knight.
