Secret of Evermore
Final Fantasy IV's Cecil has taken up residence at Ebon Keep. Other characters from Final Fantasy IV and VI can be seen in the crowd at the Coliseum.

Super Mario RPG
Culex, a being from beyond Mario's dimension, is waiting in the depths. His lengthy and melodramatic introduction is backed by the boss music from Final Fantasy IV. Even this battle's victory fanfare is changed to Final Fantasy's. Poor Mario doesn't know what hit him.

Tobal 2
The Chocobo was one of the over 200 playable characters. Kweh!

Ehrgeiz
For years, gamers have wondered what a Final Fantasy Fighting game would be like. The home version of this arcade fighter may answer their questions. Final Fantasy VII's Cloud and Tifa are secret characters in the arcade. The Playstation port adds Yuffie, Vincent, and the almighty Sephiroth to the roster.

Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon
Guide a super-cute chocobo through a multi-leveled dungeon, fighting super-cute enemies with the help of super-cute summoned monsters. In the sequel, Chocobo gains a super-cute moogle.

Chocobo Racing
Chocobo and his super-cute friends take to the racetrack. Between races, get advice from the crusty mechanic Cid.

Secret of Mana
There is a village of moogles in the "Winter" section of the multiseason Great Forest.

Vagrant Story
Several weapon and armor names are Final Fantasy references, such as Agrias' Necklace (Final Fantasy Tactics) and the Seventh Heaven (a crossbow, Final Fantasy VII).

Parasite Eve 2
Aya Brea's ultimate weapon is Squall's gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. It's a secret weapon, though - those things are definitely not standard issue.
