History ShoutOut / FinalFantasy

** One BonusBoss is called King VERMIN!. His name is a jab at this [[{{Narm}} over-the-top]] quip from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'':

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', the boat you get from the Viking is called the [[Franchise/StarTrek Enterprise.]] This name also appears in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' as your airship from Cid.

** Many of the quest names are such (contrasting the first game's bland names) including "[[Franchise/StarWars It's a Trap]]", "[[Film/AFistfulOfDollars A Paw Full of Feathers]]", "[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda It's a Secret to Everybody]]", and "Lands of Loar" (''VideoGame/LandsOfLore'').

** A cross-series one is appears in the ability ''zeninage'', which is frequently translated as Gil Toss or Spare Change, in which the player sacrifices some of their money to cause damage to a foe, depicted as the money being thrown at the target. The fact that several games give this to the samurai class is a reference to fictional samurai detective Zenigata Heiji, whose stories take place [[JidaiGeki during the Edo period]] and whose signature attack was to incapacitate foes with thrown ''zeni'' coins (the smallest denomination at the time - think the shogunate equivalent of pennies). While ''Final Fantasy VI'' did not give the ability to Cyan, the Japanese name of the relic that gives the ability to Setzer is Heiji's Jitte, referencing Heiji's melee WeaponOfChoice and symbol of his authority.
