It bares a remarkable resemblance to the "Naraka" mobs in FFXI.

Its not superbly similar but you can see the similarities... also a lot of its dancin/blademoving is similar to the TP moves they use in XI...


A few I found in FATEs....
"Tarantula Hawk, Pro Stinger" - Tony Hawk, Pro Skater.
"Feed Me, See More" - "Feed me Seymour".
"Wild Wilde Death" - Wild Wild West (could be a reference to many a things including just the phrase itself)

Someone on Team Yoshi must be a fan of Biz Markie:

The Diabolical Bismarck (Bismarck EX quest)

[Wadoka]

A line from Cid, on the road to the Aery -

"You're going to need a smaller boat."

Reverse "Jaws" reference, possibly.

One of the brooms in Matoya's cave has a backwards phrase that turns out to be "Let's sweeping love." Didn't take SE for a South Park fan.

In Churning Mist, when Estinien says the moogle refered to him as "Mog". Obvious reference to the FFVI playable character of the same name.

The Gestahl minion is in itself a reference to an old joke, where the Emperor Gestahl sprite, in VI again, looked like a dog.

Going through this thread...A lot of people seem really intent on trying to connect things to GoT. >w>

[Jonnycbad]

As a followup to an above poster, one moogle says something like "a hero from our past named Mog, used leaping attacks and wielded a spear"

Definitely an ff6 reference.

-Also 12 knights + thordan and their weird helmets look exactly like Knights of the round from ff7.
-Vault=Anor Londo...one of the bosses even looks like Ornstein
-Floating Continent = FF III and FF6
-Warring Triad from FF6
-Churning Mista resembles land of forbidden gravity from legend of dragoon
-Dragon's life energy coming from their eyes is reminiscent also from legend of dragon. In that game, gems shaped like dragon eyes called "dragon souls" allowed humans to become dragon knights

Their attacks even go off in the correct order, just like the summon.
