LOL Yes, we all know that Biggs and Wedge are a Star Wars reference. I was just pointing out that as far as Final Fantasy goes it started in 6.

My favorite so far: Up in Shhhmoke

Trying to forget that waste of my life, and I only watched a few minutes of it, I believe it was the end of it, with the chainsaw.

But I've always been kind of a stick in the mud when it comes to that sort of thing.

I was totally with you when the game first came out, but now after seeing so many truly clever ones I am of a new mind on it. Kudos for the localization team!

I love that hitchhikers reference.

The Scenario Quest: "Let us cling together" I think is a reference to the SNES game "Tactics Ogre: Let us cling together" back in '94 by Quest (Later acquired by S-E). It was the precursor to FF Tactics games.

"Fear and Odin in the Shroud" must be a reference to the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson.

Also in 1.0 there used to be a fortune teller NPC in Ul'dah that basically told you that the meaning of life was 42. XD

let's not forget the quest called Judgement Bolts and Lightning which is a reference to Queen

The FATE in Western Highlands "Ware the Maiden Fair" is a reference to the song in Game of Thrones: "Bear and the maiden Fair"
