Disney in Eorzea

[ChiiSoSeriouz]

Greetings, I wanted to make a post about references to Walt Disney movies and culture in FFXIV. I love to find these things in game, so to the disney experts playing, i would like to hear any possible references you may have found. These are some I've noticed. Please note that these are probable, with evidence that inclines the mind to belief but leaves some room for doubt.


The Magic Broom minion description says, "For safety reasons, do not fall asleep while it is at work." Reference to Fantasia.

Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme) Achievement entitled "Let It Go". Cleverly timed Shiva fight and Dreams of Ice patch with the recent popularity of Frozen.

Hidden Snowman in Akh Afah Amphitheatre. Olaf reference?

Final Coil Turn 2 arena, Hidden Mickeys on platform. Hidden Mickeys are the mickey mouse silouette (circle head and ears), hidden in plain sight all throughout WDW.

Maleficent Mogstaff. The infamous antagonist from Sleeping Beauty. The word itself is a combination of magnificent and malevolent. Reference to the wicked fairy godmother because it's a THM/BLM staff.

Thornmarch trial battle theme. It's very similar to "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It has the same style and cadence, but with it's own twist.

Sastaha HM Kraken's attack "Stranger Tides". Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Sastasha HM is full of Pirates of the Caribbean references, like for instance Kraken's attacks.-Geraru Fanfare, Ragnarok

Specialist action entitled "Whistle while you work". A song from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. First in the Disney animated canon.




P.S. to Fernehalwes. Escape reality ,live the fantasy.. more disney please!

Glad I'm not the only one who heard "This is Halloween" in the Thornmarch theme. I appreciate how SE puts so many references to other things in this game.

A lot of their music and visuals have that Disney tone to it and you're definitely not the only one that heard that in the thornmarch theme. On his first time playing this game my brother asked if Disney had a hand in producing it.

It makes sense to add a nod and a wink to pop culture icons, especially ones that they partner with (PLEASE MAKE THE KH3 CROSSOVER! PLEEEEEEEEASE!)

Let it go, from what part of Frozen was that?

Marketing.

It's the most popular song from the movie. It won a grammy award.

The part when Elsa sing it, not the part when Demi Lovato sing it

Frozen was released almost an entire year before the Dreams of Ice patch, though...

I thought the "Let it Go" thing was cute, but sometimes the snowman is just a snowman.

I like how they added Biggs and Wedge from Star Wars into FFXIV. For those who don't know, Disney acquired Lucasfilm a few years ago making Biggs and Wedge applicable to this thread.

The acquisition doesn't make long-running NPC's from other FF's suddenly relevant to this thread... o.O
