	* Hiro also makes reference to "Return" in [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/let_it_ride.php/ Stardate 1758.5]; "I can't really fight. No weapons.

⚫	~~===~~''Final Fantasy''~~===~~
	''Final Fantasy'' is a video role-playing game originally developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Sequels to the original game are available for various console video game systems. Hiro [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/09/hi.html lists] ''Final Fantasy'' as one of his favorite games.
	* In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/09/hi.html Stardate 1739.1], Hiro says that he's almost done with ''Final Fantasy XII''.
	* Hiro [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/09/captains_log_stardate_17428.html notes] that he's played all the ''Final Fantasy'' games, even XI. He says ''FF VI'' holds a special place in his [[heart]] because "the Magitek stuff was cool and it was the last of the pre-CD games."
	*In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/let_it_ride.php/ Stardate 1758.5], Hiro utilizes RPG jargon by saying, "It does seem that I need to level up my skills more, but how do I level up? Do I need more MP? Raise my Job Skill? How do I get XP?" and "I can't really fight. No weapons. My current spells would be Quick, Return, and Teleport." These spells and stats are all used in ''Final Fantasy''.
	* In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/where_to_begin.php Stardate 1747.2], Hiro discusses the reality of stopping the [[explosion]], saying that he gets no more Phoenix Downs.
	* In [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/riding_in_style.php Stardate 1766.1], Hiro says that [[Nathan Petrelli]] is "going to [[Vegas]] and he likes to [[fly]] so he's our Setzer Gabbiani." Hiro says that Nathan's limo is not an airship, but more like "a very high tech chocobo."
	*In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2007/01/the_sword.php/ Stardate 1776.8], [[Hiro]] says, "I tried using my powers but it didn't work quite the way I expected. Instead of Stop, I casted Haste. Better than nothing, I suppose. Will I ever become a master Red Mage? Will I ever learn Meteor?" Red Mage is a character class in the original ''Final Fantasy'' games. Stop, Haste, and Meteor are all spells from the same games.
	* In [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2007/05/who_am_i.php Stardate 1784.0], Hiro expresses his determination to defeat [[Sylar]] and save the world: "I'm at full HP and MP, and have all my elixirs. It's time to take down the last boss."
	* A [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2007/04/for_fun.php crossword puzzle] clue on [[Hiro's blog#For Fun\|Hiro's blog]] reads "Flare caster". The answer is "[[wikipedia:Bahamut#Use_in_Square_media\|Bahamut]]", referring to a summonable dragon from ''Final Fantasy''.

⚫	~~===~~''Chrono Trigger''~~===~~
	''Chrono Trigger'' follows a group of adventurers who are accidentally [[space-time manipulation\|propelled through time]]. Hiro [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/09/hi.html lists] ''Chrono Trigger'' among his favorite games. It should be noted that Hiro misspells the name of the main character of the game, [[Wikipedia:Crono (Chrono Trigger)\|Crono]], as "Chrono".
	* In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/where_to_begin.php Stardate 1747.2], Hiro says that after dreaming for a crucial moment to become a hero, that moment has finally arrived with seeing a terrible [[explosion]]--he has now "become Chrono in ''Chrono Trigger''." He also hopes to find his [[Wikipedia:Marle (Chrono Trigger)\|Marle]] or [[Wikipedia:Lucca (Chrono Trigger)\|Lucca]] soon. In the game, Marle is Crono's romantic interest, while Lucca is his childhood friend.
	* Hiro [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/mudslide.php asks], "What would Chrono do in this situation?"
	* In [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/riding_in_style.php Stardate 1766.1], Hiro says he's still looking for Lucca and Marle. He then lists an Epoch among the things he wants to ride. In the game, the characters use Epoch, an airship, to travel through time.
	* In [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/11/kitty_pride.php Stardate 1771.1], Hiro says he's found his Marle, referring to [[Charlie]].
	*[[Hiro]] [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2006/12/failure.php pines], "Charlie wasn't my Marle, she was my [[Spider-Man\|Gwen Stacy]]." Marle is Crono's love interest.
	*In the crossword puzzle in [[Hiro's blog]], number 6 across says "Glenn, 600 A.D." This refers to the character [[wikipedia:Frog (Chrono Trigger)\|Frog]] from the [[wikipedia:Middle Ages\|Middle Ages]], whose original name is Glenn.
	*In ''[[Once Upon a Time in Texas]]'', as "Future Hiro" explains to "Past Hiro" the importance of saving Charlie, his past self again says that [[Charlie]] is to him as Marle is to Crono.
