Emperor Mateus/Other appearances

==Series appearances==
=== Ivalice Alliance ===
The Esper Mateus from Final Fantasy XII is named after, and based on, the Emperor, its appearance resembling the Emperor's armor. The Esper's back story is based on his command of hell. The Totema Mateus from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is also named after the Emperor, but that is where the similarities end.
=== Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) ===
The Emperor of Palamecia appears as a Warrior of Chaos and he stands as the antagonist representing Final Fantasy II, opposing Firion.
As one of the higher-ranking villains, the Emperor is the mastermind of the game's overarching plot to destroy Cosmos and drown the world in darkness. He manipulates hero and villain alike towards this goal and it is later revealed the Emperor orchestrated the plan with the intent for both Cosmos and Chaos to die. Having manipulated Jecht into fighting Tidus when the former was a Warrior of Cosmos in a previous cycle, he has obtained a Crystal from Jecht's fighting attuned to Chaos instead of Cosmos. The Emperor's ultimate goal is for both gods to perish and their warriors with them, leaving him to survive their destruction due to the power of his Crystal and rule over existence unopposed.
His alternate outfit is a pale purple, gray and white palette swap based on his appearance in an alternate Yoshitaka Amano artwork.
==== Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy ====
The Emperor is a Warrior of Chaos who is the one responsible for Tidus being summoned to fight Jecht, but Tidus's memories are stirred by Yuna. The Emperor attempts to kill her but Tidus protects her, leaving the Emperor to fight Yuna while Jecht tends to the wounded Tidus. During the battle Jecht transfers his light to Tidus, leaving himself an empty husk, and the Emperor enacts his plan to seize a Crystal by taking him to Chaos to be imbued with the power of discord. The Emperor later participates in the final battles, battling Yuna.
The Emperor's second alternate form is his Final Fantasy Origins appearance as seen in the Final Fantasy II opening cinematic, giving him a dark purple and black robe. As a bonus fourth outfit available for download from the PlayStation Network, the Emperor dresses in a gold and purple robe as the Emperor of Arubboth.

===Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin===
The Emperor will appear as a boss in the final DLC storyline "Different Future", as well as the final boss of the story depending on actions the player took beforehand. Having followed Mog over to Cornelia, he discovered the location was flowing with a mixture of the power of the crystals and discord, impressing him enough to desire to conquer it. He made himself known to Jack Garland and his allies, and demanded they kneel before him, but Jack refused, citing him to be the type to "spout bullshit". The Emperor ended up retreating, implying his intention of conquering Jack's realm. Incidental dialogue from Mog implied that the Emperor was the incarnation from Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.
He later reappears after Nil is defeated, where he retrieves both the Chaos crystal and Nil's crystal with the intention of conquering the world. Although Jack Garland initially staggers him, the Emperor recovers and sneak-attacks him before assuming his Hell Emperor state. He is defeated, with the effects of his use of the Chaos crystal draining him of his powers, leaving him an ordinary human. Jack decides he could improve his mood by "starting from the bottom" before throwing him into a wormhole (presumably leading back to his homeworld).
