Explanation In the original concept art, High Entia, especially Melia, were supposed to have an effect in their eyes wherein they had a second "inner iris" within their pupil.Even the developers have mentioned in an interview that that's why she was included. The joke became that this was revenge for her getting the somewhat short stick of the story in the original game. "Justice for Melia!" and "Melia's out for revenge!" caught on once the "Future Connected" epilogue for the Definitive Edition was announced and Melia was all over the material for it, including the key art ◊ (which appears to show her with a Monado staff).Explanation The song is played typically during something unconventional happening or through an awesome action sequence of another media similar to that of Rules of Nature.

(cut to Vangarre at a dinner table with a plate of spaghetti and a glass of wine)."HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE FORCE?" "40 seconds." "I DON'T WANT ANY EXCUSES!"."

" Like a hot knife through butter! Ha ha ha ha!" Explanation The way Metal Face taunts Shulk regarding semi-killing Fiora.Someone attempted to follow that one up with "Do you know if Shulk is biologically related to paper?", but it didn't catch on quite as well.Fans found this so hilarious they challenged themselves to beat superbosses with it. This can be linked to Sharla, whose Talent Art causes her rifle to overheat and render her useless for a few seconds. Explanation Glorious Future is a Shulk skill that instantly maxes the Talent Art gauge after a vision.

Reyn would be the most powerful being in Alrest / " Reyn has made himself the Aegis' Driver! " Explanation The names of many of Reyn's weapons became Hilarious in Hindsight with the sequel's release.Reyn's "Alley-oop!" cry when he jumps is also memetically popular.
