  1. Doing Bozja recently and seeing the fate "can carnivorous plants bloom even on a battlefield?" brings a smile to my face.

    a metal gear solid reference to love blooming on the battlefield !

  2. there's a location in the azim steppe called "the bridge of high rule warriors" or smth along those lines

    also don't forget the absurd amount of hamilton references in stormblood, even one back with the alexander savages

  3. In the french version of the game there's a reference to reviewbrah's "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" in the early section of endwalker

  4. probably one of my favorite ones are the hamilton references in stormblood! from quests ("The Room Where It Happened", "The World Turned Upside Down"), to lines ("raise a glass to freedom", "dying is easy, living is harder", "my friend, my enemy"). idk, i just loved recognizing these little bits xD

  5. If you do the custom delivery quest line for Adkiragh, there is a quest called "He ain't piggy, he's my brother." The whole quest is a reference to the song "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." They even quote the opening lines from the song.

  6. Personally for me my favorite cultural reference to this day in the game. Are the two non-interactable NPCs at the fountain in front of the Alchemist guild, having a conversation about bringing the dead back with alchemy. This is of course one of a handful of homages to FullMetal Alchemist.

  7. My favorite 2 are probably the red mage quest dialog “does a girl have a name” to Arya in the red mage quests which is a GoT reference back when the show was good and “So long and thanks for all the fish” being the lvl 50 fisher quest name and a hitchhiker slow guide to the galaxy reference before we drowned in them come EW

  8. In Dawntrail, there's a sidequest involving the Yok Huy called "The Might Be Giant" which is a reference to They Might Be Giants, there's also a FATE in Western Thanalan called "There Might Be Giants"

  9. A personal favorite of mine is the ARR DRG quest, “Double Dragoon.” I have some found memories of watching my dad and brother play Double Dragon on the NES, so that one immediately stuck out to me when I got to it!

  10. In Stormblood there are several quests that share names with songs from Hamilton: "The Room where it Happens" and "The World Turned Upside-Down". These might not have been intentional but both Stormblood and Hamilton (the first half at least) are about a revolutionary war, so I think it's intentional.

  11. in endwalker, during the last zone there’s an aether current quest where an NPC asks what the meaning of life is, and one of the answers is “42” a niche hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference!
