Finest Fantasy 13 is one of only four of Luxord's weapons whose name is not drawn from one of twenty-two cards that make up a {{w|Tarot}} deck's {{w|Major Arcana}}, the others being [[The Joker]], [[Fair Game]], and [[High Roller's Secret]]. Instead, fitting the "cards'" resemblance to video game discs, its English and Japanese names are plays on the ''{{ff|Final Fantasy}}'' franchise; "Ultimate Illusion" as a play on ''Final Fantasy'' has also been used in ''{{ff|Final Fantasy XII}}'' as a move used by {{ff|Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy XII)|Gilgamesh}}. "Finest Fantasy XIII" and "Ultimate Illusion XIII" are clear references to ''{{ff|Final Fantasy XIII}}'', a ''Final Fantasy'' game released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 within the same year as ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. The name may also be a reference to the compilation, ''{{ff|Finest Fantasy for Advance}}''. | Finest Fantasy 13 is one of only four of Luxord's weapons whose name is not drawn from one of twenty-two cards that make up a {{w|Tarot}} deck's {{w|Major Arcana}}, the others being [[The Joker]], [[Fair Game]], and [[High Roller's Secret]].

According to Tetsuya Nomura in the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania'', this weapon was originally intended to be named {{nihongo|"Ultimate Delusion 13"|究極妄想13|Kyūkyoku Mōsō 13}}, but the idea was scrapped due to the complaints of the overseas translators.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "By the way, I heard that it was your decision to name Luxord's weapon, 'Ultimate Delusion 13'...?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Well, the planning staff always send us many different ideas for names, and this time they sent us something like Ultimate Delusion or XIII Delusion, so we just put those together. Since the weapon was just for fun, we figured why not? But then the localization team said, 'If we do a literal translation, it will become Final Fantasy XIII. Is that okay?' I seem to remember saying that might be a bad idea."
