Thread: That's punny

    Default That's punny

    Just accepted a mission called "Parasite Cleave" and a lightbulb turned on in my mind.



    Have you caught any references during your journey?

    90% of the fate/quest names are all puns of some sort. My favorite, "It's not Lupis..."

    Close second, Black Mage quests. "Once you go black..." and the following "You never go back."

    Was about to make this thread and thought twice. Glad I did as I forgot this ol' beauty. Shame it never took off... so I'll bump it! Here are a bunch of quest names alone that have references to all kinds of things.

    Every Little Thing She Does Is Magitek - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, song by The Police.
    Amalj'aa Wrong Places - "In all the wrong places", general saying.
    Big Trouble in Little Ala Mhigo - Big Trouble in Little China, film.
    If Wishes Were Horsebirds - "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride", general saying.
    Of Sylphs and Spriggans - Of Mice and Men, book by John Steinbeck.
    Oh Captain, My Captain - direct quote from Dead Poet's Society, film.
    Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It - "If it bleeds, we can kill it", quote from Predator, film.
    Just Deserts - "Just desserts", general saying.
    Spirited Away - film name.
    Dance Dance Diplmacy - Dance Dance Revolution, game.
    Life, Materia and Everything - Life, the Universe and Everything, third book in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams.
    The Best Inventions - "The best intentions", common phrase.
    You Have Selected Regicide - episode name in The Simpsons TV series.
    I Am Millicent, Hear Me Roar - I Am Woman (Hear Me Roar), song by Helen Reddy

    Okay I gotta go home now, so I'll stop. Hope someone else carries on. For a good source of quest names, check here.
