IX's References to the FF Series? HELP

[Zargabaath]

Regardless of any translation errors that did not match the names/references to past games. There are references of past Final Fantasys abound in Final Fantasy IX. To say that they were slacking after reading that whole list is being over-critical as there are loads of references from each FF and some other games in Final Fantasy IX.

I got to say the character's motives/reason(s) for being in the party should not have been in this thread as Xanatos pointed out. Some characters may have similar motives as other characters in the series, but I think the characters were one thing that they did not try to link a reference to past Final Fantasys in Final Fantasy IX. This seems more like you [Locke] trying to grasp at straws to berate the game. It makes the "10 & 13 not included, which was the most linear game?" thread seem like another attempt to take a small swipe at FFIX. All this reminds me of Antidrall's disdain for Final Fantasy VII and everything involved with it except done in a less overt way.

@ Xanatos - I didn't miss the point. I'm playing the english version, so the translation is kind of everything, and they clearly state that care wasn't taken when it came to referencing prior games.

And yeah, I definately have an issue with the game. I'm not hiding that. Blinded by hate? LOLOLOL. No I dont' think so. It's not a decent game. I've enjoyed every other game in the series far more. It's bland, and unispired. That's not hateful, it's just a passive observation. I was bored out of my mind playing that game.

That being said, the list you provided does indeed help, as I was unaware of most of these references, and to Zargabaath's point above, I agree. So thank you for that. I'm going to keep the list handy for a 2nd playthrough in the coming year or so here, and I hope that will increase the value of this game to me. Never-the-less the sidequests still suck, Queina, Eiko, & Amarant are useless through ins, and Zidane is a gay mo-fo. ;-)
