Dissidia Final Fantasy Sony PSP Video - Onion Knight Montage

Allusions

* While Onion Knight returns to his home world, he looks up at the sky, watching a flock of birds flying above him. This is a reference to Final Fantasy III - the ending sequence of the original NES version and the opening FMV of the DS version. It could also Allude to his home being a floating continent.
* One of the Onion Knight's weapons, fittingly called Onion Sword, is a reference to the Onion Equipment from Final Fantasy III.
* The Tyrving and King's Sword are a reference to two similar swords. The Tyrving equippable by the Red Mage class, while the King's Sword equippable by the Fighter and Knight job class in the Famicom release of Final Fantasy III.
* Onion Knight's EX Burst is a homage to the traditional battles of the first Final Fantasies. While he is engaged on the right and poised like the NES sprite, his opponent will adopt their stance as viewed in the Museum from a different angle.
* While in EX Mode as a Ninja, the Onion Knight wields two swords as seen in the hands of the unnamed warrior on the logo for Final Fantasy III. When executing Back Attack! in his EX Burst, he also assumes a post similar to the warrior.

Trivia

* Within the game's timeline, Onion Knight is the first to retrieve his Crystal according to Destiny Odyssey 26.
* The Onion Knight is only called once by his title, by the Cloud of Darkness.
* The Onion Knight is both the youngest and the shortest in height of the warriors of Cosmos.
* Onion Knight is the only character with two different EX Modes and EX Bursts, one for the Ninja and one for the Sage, depending on which form he is in when he begins the attack.
* Onion Knight's Destiny Odyssey is also unique, due that majority of tiles have a question mark sign, noting that something is hidden— a board enemy, an item chest, a potion, or ether. It is also used in some stages in Shade Impulse. Also, there is only one question mark tile that hides a boss chess piece, and it could only be seen in Shade Impulse. It is none other than Cloud of Darkness's boss piece.
* Onion Knight, Terra, Squall, and Cloud are the only 4 heroes who fight another hero as a boss. Onion Knight fights Terra in his story.
* Onion Knight is one of the fastest characters in Dissidia.
* Although not relevant to the EX Burst, the Item Menu can be opened to reveal Gysahl Greens, Gnomish Bread, Potion, Sheep Pillow, Earthen Drum, Mallet, Gold Needle, and a Turtle Shell.
* Tetsuya Nomura has noted that, similar to Garland, he had only in-game sprites to draw from when designing Onion Knight, which made doing so difficult. His initial designs were "too cartoony" compared to the other heroes, and redesigned it to match the cover image of Final Fantasy III. Shortly after, the promotional images Yoshitaka Amano had been designing were finished, and Nomura reverted back to a more "cartoony" design to match Amano's work.

@zelda10911ssbm To become a Ninja, go into EX Mode and use a physical attack. Magical attacks switch you to a Sage.
