Line 13:
* Adel. The fact that she's a giant man-woman who has the face of and moves like a monster is creepy enough, but it gets worse when the lifeless body of Rinoa is attached to her chest and [[Fan Disservice|she thrusts it upward to suck Rinoa's life away]]. And if all that wasn't enough, when you defeat her, the ending cinematic displays her face getting blown off before she falls on her knees to dissolve.
** To make her even more creepy is the fact that when you first visit the Timber Tv Station, there is a big screen on the building with a lot of red text, some of it makes out sentences like "IWILLNEVERLETYOUFORGETABOUTME", "IAMALIVE", and "BRINGMEBACKTHERE". This is highly implied to be Adel sending signals, and she is probably the reason that the broadcasting systems haven't been working for the past seventeen years, which is around the time when Laguna and co. sent her out in space.
* FACELESS SQUALL (pictured above). It's like a [[Freeze Frame Bonus]] that pays off with heebie-jeebies. It's not clear, but the image is part of a sequence of hallucinations taking place in time compression, and some of the other images imply that Squall's memories are becoming confused. At a guess, it's symbolic of emotional emptiness and/or loss of identity. It is also quite possibly an expression of [[ItsIt's All My Fault]], given the preceding scene {{spoiler|where he participates in passing Ultimecia's power on to Edea}} and that Ultimecia's own final form has this very same trait.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jns9arS5GjU The Lunar Cry]. Just....this immense giant blood red cloud of monsters extending outward like a spear of hellish death...
* Most of Disc Four. {{spoiler|1=You kill Adel and [[Divide By Zero|time begins to compress]], taking you through a trippy sequence in which you have to slay various sorceresses at different points in time, while the background melts, ending with a [[Eldritch Abomination|particularly freaky-looking sorceress]]. You finally end up at Edea's House in the compressed time world, and after stepping outside, you find the beach littered with the dead bodies of SeeDs, and see Ultimecia's [[Ominous Floating Castle]] in the dark, cloud-filled skies above. Her castle even has [[Ominous Pipe Organ]] music.}} Damn. Not to mention [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l75zjpDpAWs the music that plays] during the sequence before arriving at [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]. A dissonant five-note sax ostinato and creepy ambience are all you need to convey the feeling that the world is fucked.
