We all know that FFIX was a throwback to the other Final Fantasy games and as such includes an absolute plethora of references. Which ones do you like best?
Zidane commenting on a "guy with spikey hair who used to carry a sword like this" was probably my favourite. Quite subtle, but still nice.
Also does the fact that Steiner loves Gyshal Pickles make him something of an ONION KNIGHT?!
Yeah the reference to Cloud in the weapons shop in Lindblum is great. And the Tantalus orchestra playing Rufus' Welcoming March from FFVII in Evil Forest.
And if we can open it out to references to non-FF stuff, I like the 'Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!' line.
I always liked this one:

Old school =/= references and cameos.
I loved the Doga's Artifact, Unne's Mirror secret. That tune made me play FF III on NES and I do not regret it.
Vivi looking like a vintage black mage, Garnet in a white mage robe, and the highlights on the heels and toes of Zidane's boots making him look like one of the FF3 NES sprites stuck out to me. Oh, and Freya mimicking certain mannerisms of Kain. Loved most of the references in this game.
Except that I'm afraid. I thought that was a bit forced and cheesy and I wasn't sure whether to be amused or not.Quote:

IX was my first in the series so I didn't get any of those references at the time and now, uhh. they don't hold much value, but I do like the III tune that plays in Black Mage village if you have the artifact and mirror.
Perhaps not, but they are references to old(er) school games! :monster:Quote:
