* ShoutOut:
** An achievement in the Steam version of ''Ys II'' uses an icon graphic styled to look like an 8-bit era text box. The text within reads [[VideoGame/DragonQuest "Fortune smiles upon thee!"]].
** Hitting villagers with the fireball spell sometimes produces humorous commentary. One character will say [[VideoGame/RiverCityRansom "BARF"]]. Another will say [[VideoGame/TheGoonies "Ouch! What do you do?"]]
** A gravestone in the more recent remakes of Ys II features the epitath "[[Film/TheRoom Here lies Wiseau, the Favored Customer]]."
** In the ''Ys I Chronicles'' version, using the Rod (for the Darm Tower mirrors) as an item will result in Adol attempting to short-circuit the rest of the game by chanting "[[Literature/HarryPotter Accio]] Books of Ys". It doesn't work.
** One of the demons that controls one of the gates in the Shrine of Solomon in Ys II requires a pass before it will raise the gate. It says "[[VideoGame/PapersPlease Passes, please.]]" in the Steam version.
** The page quote from ''The Oath of Felghana'' is paraphrased very slightly from the Music/BillyJoel song "Baby Grand."
** One roo in ''Ys: Origin'' is named Rootkit, a type of [[ComputerVirus malware]].

! ''VideoGame/YsSeven''
** A peddler in Altago has two longmas (beasts of burden) named [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Snowball" and "Santa's Helper"]]
** A gossipy man in the Altago was trying to remember the name of the flower girl. "Irith?... Eris? Iris?" He's way wrong, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII but the name sounds familiar...]]
** After [[spoiler:Adol defeats the titano during the execution ceremony after being framed for murdering Altago's king]], Dogi and Geis break through a door and the latter says, [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} "Say hello to my little friend!"]] Funnily enough, Geis's face is scarred.
** The achievement for defeating Geis in single combat is called [[Anime/CodeGeass Code Geis]].
** The achievement for creating all ultimate weapons is called [[Franchise/DragonBall Dragon Baller]].
** One of the Pikkards is named [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Jean Luc]].
** An achievement for beating the game is "Dragon Warrior's Quest 'nixed", a multi-faceted reference to ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'', originally known as ''Dragon Warrior'' in North America, and developed by Enix, which is now part of Creator/SquareEnix.

! ''VideoGame/YsIXMonstrumNox'':
** The achievement for walking 300 krimelye is "[[Music/TheProclaimers I Would Walk 300 Krimelye]]", while acquiring and recording all items for the materials section of the journal is "[[Music/{{Madonna}} Material Girl]]".
** One of the translated graffiti in Balduq reads "[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Abandon all hopes and dreams, ye who know what's good for you]]."
** The name of the {{Sidequest}} called "A Legend of Heroes" is an obvious reference to Falcom EasternRPG series ''[[VideoGame/DragonSlayer The Legend Of Heroes]]''.
** During Chapter 8, in a conversation between where Yufa hands Silhouette a potato, she ends up mashing it due to her strength. Silhouette says they're "...versatile that way! [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew...]]"
** When speaking with Adol's allies in the epilogue, if players choose the dialogue option about him not minding the mask that Silhouette wears, she'll say that [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises no one even cared who she was until she put on the mask]].
