Despite the dislike and hate on XIII games, it will alway have a special place in my heart and I only hope that we will get to see more secret references in future patches and expansions.
Didin't needa seeeeeee that XIII-2 ending shit but ehhhh goog video anyhow
I do feel there's something which was missed in this video, which could give you a more content for 13:
While isn't a "13 reference in 14" per se, you could've included the "13 code in 14", aka, 14 1.0 team being forced to use and adapt the crystaltools that made 13 because SE was stuck with their head in their asses regarding "graphics above all", which ultimately, together with bad mechanic choices, plagued 14 1.0 development entirely. I know there's noclip documentary and whatnot, but I still think it would've added a lot to the video, even if just as an overview since it's entirely 13's dev kit that plagued 14 initially. 😛
Regarding 15, I didn't know there was a 14 event inside 15, that's cool!
Yoshi-P is smart, I assume we'll get a crossover of 16 in 14 just like the promotion of lightning returns around launch time so you might have content for 16 soon xD
I'm eager to see the tactics videos 😀 Good job!
Man, I hope that there is a video for crossover stuff too!
I wasn't playing when the Yo-kai watch crossover happend, I want to hear about that.
SPOILERS ahead..

Wow!! I never saw the Venat reference in the fight!! good catch!!
I have always though of Garlemald capital as a nod to FF15's Niflheim capital. They are both empire' capital, main bad guys city, technologically advanced…. and when the heroes finally get there everything is already destroyed by a new threat, in ruins, then even look similar, cold city ruins with a tall building in the background, sad music…. I think there are so many similarities that it was worth to mention.
I also think Aumarot feels like Insomnia, but that might just be me.
And lastly, Emet and Ardyn seem to have very similar personalities, bery sassyor pompous but suffering inside with some kind of resentment with a deep connection to the main protagonist… maybe just a coincidence
While I personally am not a fan of any entry of the Fabula Nova Crystallis setting, I'm glad that their fans were given these two events.
I find it kinda charming that after the monster videos for XI and XII, the last two games barely make up for a single video. It makes total sense why that is, but it’s still funny to me.
also in the reaper's job outfit the chest plate is very similar to Lightning's in lightning returns imo
One of the sidegames to not be forgotten is "Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon" as a VERY important side character is introduced.
The armiger part is my all time favourite reference. Why can’t WoL get that ability like Venat?
There's a couple things I wanted to point out!
▪︎The FFXIII Ochu model can be seen as early as the Azim Steppe (they are in the south of the area map).
▪︎Perhaps less relevant but might still be fun to point out. Physical copies of FFXIII originally included beta test codes for FFXIV 1.0, giving a choice between the PC and PS3 versions. Due to the poor reception of 1.0, the PS3 beta test was canceled, but the codes were made valid again for the ARR beta test. (Edit: the code was for an item in 1.0 according to an old Siliconera article. I thought I posted a link in reply to this but I might have forgot to send it…?)
Only thing you missed was that the winged cieth in the twinning is actually a named cieth in XIII an undying cieth named Mithridates
Ah yes, "Lightning Returns", "Lightning Returns Again", and "Lightning Won't Leave and It's Getting A Little Creepy…"
There’s a part in the XIV-XV quest in which Noctis is in Gridania and if you speak to him outside of him having a quest marker he says something along the lines of “cat people, cat people everywhere. Y’jhimei wasn’t kidding”
Also the "Dreadnaught" is also a mount awarded for the top 100 players(for each Data Center) in the Feast Season 20.
The Feast was competitive PvP mode that is now removed from the game.
RIp fabula nova crystalis
What had the potential for such an amazing series got beaten down and shot in the foot by 2010s square-Enix development syndrome and ended up becoming something unintended and not what a lot fans wanted. I do kind of hope it doesn’t just get forgotten like so many other square games do
I love your video. I hope they have Final Fantasy crossover event again. I feel Lighting’s graphics was better than Noctis. It is strange that Noctis and Lighting stance are similar to one another. Great job. I know there was some references that were missed, but I know you will have follow videos with it. Also, I am wondering with the next video that you will mention Y’shtola is part of the main story line for Final Fantasy:Dissidia. Thank you for your videos. I cannot wait for your next one.
It's only tangentially related, but surprised you didn't mention the Miqo'te garb, and Hope talking about Eorzea in LR.
Another reference from Final Fantasy 15 and throughout the series including Final Fantasy 14, which purchasing various musics throughout Eos and playing the music either in Regalia or MP3 player during Noctis quests
ya missed to mention the Crystarium in Norvrandt and the aftermath of the Boss Battle from 5.3^^
