Favorite Reference in FF IX to past FF games

[Crossblades]

My favorite reference is the Kain's Lance weapon. I also like the ramuh's Story reference. What's yours?

[charliepanayi]

Zidane saying "I knew a spiky haired guy who carried a sword like this..." in the weapons' shop in Treno. Always cracks me up XD

[scrumpleberry]

Gah, stop making me pick one!!

[daggertrepe]

Garnet's name, fo real

[Vermachtnis]

Aww man, it's hard to choose between the elemental fiends and Kain's Lance.

[Bolivar]

"Could it be... Garland!?" crazy part right there, Garland comin out of nowhere into the middle of the plot, little monologue on The Invincible, crazy ass music. That's a Classic Right There!!!

Josef's story was great too. Although his daughter does end up figuring it out if i'm not mistaken.

Necron in itself is a reference to past FF's.

[Rengori]

Anything that has to do with Kain is instant win.

[chocobo hunter]

Garland and the 4 Elemental Fiends is the best. Although I guess only the old school gamer would get that reference, And Ramah' story about Josef was also a favorite of mine. IX sure is filled with subtle nolstalgic easter eggs from past games.

[Heath]

I can never decide between Garland and the elemental fiends and the general reference of specific job classes that goes back to the original Final Fantasy itself. It was quite nice to see Red Mages wandering around towns since we're never really shown NPCs as having job classes in the previous games.

[Slothy]

The reference to Bones on Star Trek is my pick.

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker.

[Forsaken Lover]

Gotta love Garland.

I mean...he came out of nowhere and knocked them all down.

[Ace14]

Garnets real name, I don't really know why I just like that the most. I also like Ramuh's story and the elemental fiends.

Zidane saying "I knew a spiky haired guy who carried a sword like this..." in the weapons' shop in Treno. Always cracks me up XD

Yeah that one was pretty cool....

I'm gonna go with the Kain's Lance one though. Anything Kain is instant win anyways... & Ramuh's story was good too...

Actually its pretty hard to pick...

That was my favorite n.n

[Radje]

The weapon shop was in Lindblum, not Treno.

Though that was my favourite as well. When I first played FFIX I had never played any FF before 7.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

The Cloud-Squall line. I forgot what it was and didn't catch it until I played the game for the third time

[charliepanayi]

Argh yeah of course it was Lindblum. I must have been half-asleep when I wrote Treno...

[The Ceej]

It just occurred to me that you missed one. Well. You probably missed a lot. There's just too many in there for one person to find them all.

But the one I noticed you missed what when Tantalus played Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony. That's a great song.

[Radje]

Aaah yeah! Good thinking, I had forgotten that one.

See my last poll option >_>

[cloud21zidane16]

Zidane talking about Cloud in the Lindblum weapon shop. i also thought the FFIII music was a nicely hidden sidequest.

[ReloadPsi]

Gotta love Garland.

Can't pick one... although the one that sort of disappointed me was Terra: I was expecting a hot green-haired chick and all I got was this planet.
