List of Final Fantasy references in A Realm Reborn

[Ardbob]

haha thanks guys

So... I just noticed something weird. In the Waking Sands in a random back hallway, I found a miqo'te telling pointing a commanding finger at an Elezen female. The Elezen female was scraping the stone ground with a pitchfork. Why would she be scraping the ground with a pitchfork? All I could think is that this has to be a reference to something. I have no idea what, and it could be a reference to something not having to do with Final Fantasy at all. If anyone knows what thats about, let me know!

Some of the main garlean characters, resemble judges from ff12. In fact one of them, i forget his name, closely resembles Gabranth.

The garlean Empire more closely resembles the Archadian Empire in 12.

About FF11 i think Is better add the names of Qiqirn, Goblins and Mamool Ja cause their presence is in some quests and lore of ff14.

No need to add this cause isnt in the game but in the old lodestone, there was a Description of the Goblin Mutamix where is Alluded to a "Great Library" of The East, this reminded of the Library of the Ancients in FF5, Saronia in ff3, Daguerreo in FF9
Maybe one day will appear ingame

One of the items dropped from small crabs references the Valkurm Dunes and the hardships players had getting through it in early versions of Final Fantasy XI.

In the cutscene that explains the empire loosing against the eorzean alliance the monster that destroys their flagship is called something like "Midgardwurm", it resembles a dragon snake. Clearly a reference to the midgard snake found in FF7 near the chocobo stables !

It's Midgardsormr. The World Serpent. Its from Viking mythology and its poison kills Thor after Thor kills it.

sorry but this is a Norse Mythological Beast
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandr

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (Old Norse: Jǫrmungandr, pronounced [ˈjɔrmuŋɡandr]), often written Jormungand, or Jörmungand and also known as the Midgard Serpent (Old Norse: Midgarðsormr),


It is in multiple games before and after FF7 but because the town in FF7 is Midgar (No D) they renamed it to Midgar Zolom (Zolom being a engrish mistranslation of sormr (serpent))

[AranWade]

Confirmed of The allusion of FF13-2!

Serendipity, Goldsmith Guild Leader in Uldah
Serendipity was a Themepark in that game and she like be called "Sera"

OK, Maybe :P but i think is more an allusion to the "myth" than to old FF, MIdgar Too Was in someways a reference to The Norse Mitology "Human World".
So as u said is a reccurring monster in all FF, hard say is a reference to one in particular.

Btw i just want add that no Other Final Fantsy have so many Allusions to the past! and seems FF11 and FF7 are the most Referenced.

4. During a storyline quest, you fight a "Flowering Sabotender" which is a reference to the "Flowing Cactoid" Hunt. (credit: aranwade)

lol was Cronous who Found this not me. (page 7)

In FF wikia found this new Allusion:
the last battle from the Summoner quest line is against Belias-Egi, the essence of Belias. (tactis-FF12)

I didnt finish ARR story so i ask, the point 7 of FF12 isnt a spoiler?

[Slatervonjager]

oh, Heres one, lahabera, that red masked mage, His name is a reference to the back story of one of the esper's in 12.
