Never expected Final Fantasy XIV to ever reference one of my favourite animes / mangas of all time. My character in FFXIV has always been modeled and named after Sakuragi Hanamichi so you can imagine how surprisingly awesome this scene was for me. Whoever directed this scene (could it be Yoshi-P?) definitely loved the Slam Dunk anime as the tropes, timing and framing were spot on.
For those wondering how to get this scene, it’s a series of comedic side quest involving Inspector Hildibrand. This scene was in the latest questline in the series from the Endwalker expansion.

Wait.. are you THE Sakuragi in Elemental I sometimes see around? 😮
I just did this quest last night and my finger wasnt over the screenshot button 😢. I love these quests, so silly.
Warrior of Light, errybody. Slayer of Eikons, Scion of the Seventh Dawn, Champion of Eorzea, Savior of Ishgard, Liberator of Ala Mhigo, Warrior of Darkness, Seat of Azem… Stealer of Pants, and Master of Sportsballs.
Ok, after this, they HAVE to make the next ranged physical a blitzball class right??
This…. this is just basketball.
