Request: Limiting the number of blatant Game of Thrones references in future?

^This. No matter what SE does it's always wrong. (And for the record I hate GoT, but I don't think the game is 'drowning' in GoT references).

And before you pass judgement, SE has used an overload of pop culture references in past FF games as well, to the point some FF game stories and concepts could be considered a past work given a FF spin.

FFXI's opening movie for instance was pretty much an expy of the Battle of Helm's Deep from Lord of the Rings ~ The Two Towers right down to the orcs (only without a happy ending), FFXII's story could be considered an imitation Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope in Ivalice with chocobos, and FF Tactics was virtually the real-world historical Hundred Years' War and the War of the Roses again transplanted into Ivalice. SE draws from the same wellspring of real world cultural memes, stories and history that George R.R. Martin did as well, meaning he did not invent those terms but simply reused them.

As SE draws from the same sources, they do not even need the presence of recent middlemen for these references, they already exist.
