Final Fantasy IX: Difference between revisions

** The residents of Conde Petie have the most mundane names you'll see in any Final Fantasy. [[Scotireland|It comes with the accent...]]

** In a short scene early in disc 4, the Black Mages decide to name their chocobo... ''Bobby Corwen''. <ref>This is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Final Fantasy V]] - the first syllable of each word spells Boco, referring to Bartz's chocobo in that game.</ref>

* [[Alice Allusion]]: Alice is the name of the potions seller in Lindblum; one quick quest in disc 3 involves searching Lindblum for three different potions, ask the weapons seller about it and he'll say "did you ask Alice?"

* [[Alien Lunch]]: Eiko has the option of adding an oglop to the stew she makes during the cooking sequence. The party [[I Ate What?|will not react very well to this]].

* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: Grand Dragons. The first time you can encounter them, they will likely annihilate you faster than you can say "[[Memetic Mutation|THUNDAGAAA]]!" Of course, it'll be your own damn fault, considering that they live in an optional area, and a Moogle will shout a warning to you if you try to go there.

** Yans are the strongest random encounter in the game and can cast Meteor to boot. Don't judge a mook by its cover. Again, though, completely optional, out-of-the-way area.

* [[Boss Remix]]: Beatrix's battle theme.

* [[Boss Rush]]: The Four Guardians Of Terra, although at first only one, Lich, is ''actually'' fought (the other three [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|were taken down offscreen]]). You do get to challenge them all in [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Memoria]] in a [[Call Back]] to the final dungeon of [[Final Fantasy I]]; at special points along the path, you are suddenly thrust into battle against one of them, with absolutely no indication of a boss encounter beforehand. Thankfully, save points are placed in between these encounters.

** The sandstorm ritual in Cleyra is basically ''Riverdance''. Sir Fratley's name is a reference to/mistranslation of Michael Flatley, a famous step dancer who is known for performing in ''Riverdance''.

** Before the encounter with [[Final Boss]] {{spoiler|Necron}}, it says "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Yoda's famous line from ''[[The Phantom Menace]]''.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: [[Sophisticated As Hell|when it comes to the culinary, Quina knows his shit.]]

* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: The Odin summon and Steiner's Iai Strike.

* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: Presumably the book that contains Tantarian.

* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Elixirs and Dark Matter.

* [[Town with a Dark Secret]]: Village of Dali, which has a {{spoiler|Black Mage factory underground}}.

* [[Trademark Favourite Food]]: Moogles are kupo for Kupo Nuts, and all Qu love frogs.

* [[The Voiceless]]: Garnet after her [[Heroic BSOD]].

* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: The dwarves. They live on [[Chokepoint Geography]], provide a lead to the Black Mage village, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and]] [[Crazy Cultural Comparison|conduct weddings for your characters.]] And that's it.

* [[Watching Troy Burn]]: Actually, you get to watch pretty much ''every'' city you come to burn.

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Ark's second attack and the eye of the ''Invincible''.
