|  "FF9 references and curiosities"
, posted Sun 8 Dec 15:00:
After I read the other FF9 thread I thought of this: Since this game's almost only interesting point is all the references to other FF's and curiosities within it(none other has THAT much), we could "find'em all"®...
Let's start with some I recall now, not in order:
1- In the 1rst forest, the enchanted one, (I'm not too good at names) when Tantalus crashes, the band plays the Shin-Ra theme from FF7 (the one when Heidegger gets to Junon) in an ATS.
2- If you examine the big sword in Lindblum (Lindbulm? damned Spanish translator) weapons store, Zidane says: "I recall that guy with blonde hair who had one as big as this one" (MY translation from the Spanish version). Why does Cloud come to mind?
3- Not sure of this one: In the beggining, when they're playing the theater play, Zidane says: "No cloud no squall shall hinder us" or something like that.
4- Not sure about this one either -I'm sorry-: Back to Lind..., if you examine the fountain in the castle, Zidane says something like "Strange, There's no place for a jewel". Resident Evil anyone?
5- Is it just coincidence that in one of Toto's and Garnet's flashbacks the prof reads something about some archaeologist named "professor Aerth"?
6- Cid Faboule's last name comes from Fabul, the "wind" kingdom in FFIV where Yang's from.
7- They just took the auction idea from FFVI.
From now on, to avoid bad or not-so-bad surprises:
That's all I can remember, but there's more of them for sure.
PS: Remember to make use and abuse of Spoiler Warning when writing yours if necessary.

Wha-Whaaaaaat????
I spared your pity life when you said that you didn't liked FFT, but saying that the only interest in the deep, heart touching, funny, beautiful FFIX is the references to other FF's... AAAaAaAAAaaAGHHH!!!!
*enters kill mode*
*changes job to summoner*
"Attack by the master of commandments! Zodiac!"
*goes out of kill mode*
You have like 1 turn or so to rectify, and thank that I've not used short chage...
Back on topic...
There are many references, but my favourite has to be the Gurug Volcano: I liked the theme in FF1, but this remix is great!
And yeah, in gamefaqs you'll find all the references, that site is the source of all the knowledge in the world! Well, I'm exaggerating a bit.

*Enters coward mode*
1rst - That phrase about FFIX was rethorical, just to introduce the topic. I think I said somewhere else (if not I'm saying it now) that I'm a detallist so that's the point I most liked from that game. The rest, well, it's ok... not the best Final. Easy, linear (not as much FFX though), and simple story (always IMHO of course)
2nd - I've never said I don't like tactics, I just haven't been able to play it. I said that strategy in any form, tactics included, it's not my genre, it overwhelms me.
So pleeeeaaase, pleeeeaaase stop lil' Zodiac before he really hurts me, will ya?
*End of coward mode*
Finally I must say that I just pretended to make some kind of little "game" with this thread, not get to know all of them. I know Internet (in GameFAQs or wherever) has everything I'd want to find
PS: All the spoiler format references were lost when i posted the thread twice. -ouch-
