Notes

Trivia

• Four children who were Onion Knights at the beginning are the main protagonists of the NES version of Final Fantasy III.
  • Onion Knight is also a job class in other Final Fantasy games in addition to being referenced in some regard as items (FFX's Onion Knight, FFXI's Onion Sword).
• In true Onion Knight fashion, he will earn most of his abilities and base stats near the end of his levels, making him nearly useless without being maxed out (has only 75 base ATK at level 85, but sharply rises after obtaining sword mastery).
• Similar to Luneth's Limit Burst animation, you will get to see a slight glimpse of the "16 Hit!" sign upon the end of the attack. This is a reference of how the first three Final Fantasy games uses Hit Counts when attacking enemies with a standard attack.
• The order he learns his elemental abilities, Wind, Fire, Water and Earth, is the same order the Crystals are acquired in Final Fantasy III.
