Sure, why not? The pop-culture jokes are a huge part of WoW's popularity.

The only real problem it poses in a FF game, is that the game is being developed in Japan, so much of our pop-culture is, more than likely, a mystery to them. IIRC, FFXI had at least a bit of Japanese pop-culture reference that flew over the heads of most of us westerners.

You said the main term... "developed in Japan". Gangnam style is a Korean song. Kpop is not really that hip in Japan. Only like 2 female barely get street cred over there. pop-culture can come after the core gameplay experience is in full motion.

When it comes to Wow. Their pop-culture comes from all things developed in the usa.
