Well, the fact that in FFIX (SPOILER)Necron's only substantial dialogue was lifted directly from Episode 1, kind of serves to reinforce many people's opinion that this character was a poorly planned, last-minute addition to the game which served no purpose but to fill space.
External references are one thing, but 'borrowing' script has little charm.
FFIX also has a couple of Star Trek references which people have noticed - Black Waltz #2's assertion that "resistance is futile", and a random guy on the streets of Lindblum who tells Zidane, "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!" when quizzed about the Three Potions.
Indeed. The best weapon in both FFVII and FFVIII is a giant, blue-tinged crystal blade. Let's hope they don't "progress" to swords of pure energy in future...At least FF has real swords, instead of flashy buzzy ones. But in recent games, the swords have been coming more and more ridiculous.
