Other Appearances

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, several of Zidane's attacks are based on his Dyne techniques, though most function and appear differently than they did in Final Fantasy IX - Grand Lethal, for example, is a spinning charge attack rather than a series of energy beams.

Etymology

The Japanese name for Dyne, urawaza, translates to "underhanded tricks".

The Dyne is also a somewhat obsolete unit to measure forces. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second per second, which in SI-derived units is exactly 1·0×10^-5 Newtons (10μN).
