List of Final Fantasy references in A Realm Reborn

[Edyth]

Oh yeah, I forgot this one:

The Waking Sands as a whole seems based on the Rebel Hideout from FFII:
It's an ordinary-looking building in the middle of a very small city; inside is a secret organization opposing an empire while using "Wild Rose" as its password; the organization is headed by a woman who sends the main character out on missions (Princess Hilda in FFII, Minfilia in FFXIV).

1. A Paladin skill is named "Spirits Within" after the Final Fantasy movie of the same title.

This should probably be altered as SPirits Within was also a Weaponskill in FFXI, or amended (To include the FFXI reference as well as the Film)
The text read: Delivers an unavoidable attack. Damage varies with HP and TP.
Which is similar to how it is now.

Yes but the reference is the password by the Rebels Leader, the concept of "rebels" "princess" and "Hideout" are too generic in a RebelvsEmpire story after Starwars(ff6,ff7,ff8,ff12 have similar places)

Actually, the Waking Sands itself isn't a FFII reference on it's own, as it first appeared in 1.0 as well as the headquarters of the Path of the Twelve, the earlier organization of Echo-users Minfilia ran.

Hence why it's called the 'Waking Sands' in the first place - the 'waking' part was a reference to Echo users being stated as being 'woken' to their abilities, and the 'sands' aspect is because the Waking Sands was originally based in Ul'dah (ironically where the Hall of Flames is now located!) - there's no actual explanation why it was shifted out to Vesper Bay as far as I know. They also didn't have any secret code name they gave to each other or anything.

But yes, the 'Wild Rose' codename is very much a FFII reference specifically.

It should also be noted that Minfilia gives the player a choice to use a unique ability to help save the world by joining her organization in both the Path of the Twelve in 1.0, and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn in ARR, just like the choice Banon offered Terra to join the Returners in FFVI.

Final Fantasy 7:
1. Biggs and Wedge pilot an airship called 'The Tiny Bronco'.

This information is incorrect. Biggs and Wedge were apart of Barrett's resistance force called Avalanche they didn't fly the plane. The Tiny Bronco belonged to Cid Highwind who was a pilot.

Final Fantasy 8 reference in Dzmael Darkhold. The Ahriman that patrols the corridor and serves as a miniboss uses a giant wave attack called Eyes On Me.
I dont' have a screenshot, but the name of the attack is displayed next to the damage done, just like any other enemy spell/skill.

Don't know if you're counting game mechanics, but the arrows that represent monster aggro or incoming spells are very similar to the targeting arrows in Final Fantasy 12.

[Dastard]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, or why they didn't, but the whole storyline in

Coerthas strongly reminded me of Final Fantasy Tactics. What with all the religious zealots and talk of heretics. I felt like I was playing a modern version of it.

Here is a link to the references to the Dragoon's Relic Weapon, Gae Bolg.

Only read the first page, so sorry if it has been mentioned. The Cait Sith doll closer resembles the Caith Sith from XI, Wings of the Goddess expansion.
