References in Heavensward

[Ultimatecalibur]

Aetherochemical Research Facility, Enforcement Droid 210 - reference to Robocop's ED 209; and dont forget the DBZ-like fusion the bosses do.

The Enforcement Droids are also a reference to Warmech/Warmachine super enemy in FF1.

Nope, ED-209 from Robocop is short for Enforcement Droid 209 http://robocop.wikia.com/wiki/Enforc...oid_Series_209, so the Enforcement Droid 210 in Aetherochemical Research Facility is definitely a Robocop reference; they even kinda look alike.

The Armorer 55 quest have references to the movie Barbarella.

It can be both, you know. Model based on an older enemy, name/designation based on a Robocop naming scheme. Why not?

He's actually right in some ways. while what he says is not so much a "Reference" as it is a reusing of an asset from an earlier game (FFXIV does this a lot, most enemies in XIV come from some other FF title, which I'm not complaining its nice.). Its clearly homage/reference to both!

Well in his defense he said "Its also a reference to FF1", not that It was not a reference to Robocop as well.
