List of Final Fantasy references in A Realm Reborn

[Suirieko]

Not sure if it is mentioned in here or not all ready, the quest to unlock Scholar references a War of the Magi. FF6 also made a reference to a war by the same name. Could be a reference, or just coincidence.

It's a reference. Each relic quest involves finding a quest item tome, and the names are different for each jobs. For Scholar, it's "War of the Magi", which was the ancient war in FFVI. It's a definite reference.

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.

COerthas is more similar to FFXI's San D'Oria than FF Tactics. San D'Oria was a heavily religious city state, as it even has a church, and the people there are very chivalroous. Plus, it's a dominantly Elezen area, much like San D'Oria in FFXI.

Primals/Summons/Espers are something present in most Final Fantasy games. I wouldn't say they're based on the FFXI ones really.

Actually they're correct. Garuda and Titan bear very striking resemblance to their FFXI counterparts.

The same can be said for Shiva as well when comparing her concept art to FFXI model:





And the same is also true for Ramuh:

Atomos has been spotted in FFXIV 1.0, and their model is based off FFXI model.
