Final Fantasy VIII/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Cultural Cross-Reference]]:

** The French translation, full of [[Artistic License|gratuitous English that does not match the original English]], has an item called a [[Nine Inch Nails|9 inch nail]]... described as "the claw of an [[Industrial Metal|industrial monster]]." Guess the French translator must've been a fan then.

** Another shout-out occurs in music form: the final boss music, "The Extreme", contains a call-back to the original Final Fantasy battle music.

** On the music example, the beginnning of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czn2_ngX6_k the final dungeon theme] is very similar to the third segment of Dancing Mad from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.

*** Doomtrain isn't terribly different from the [[Final Fantasy VI|GhostTrain / Phantom Train]] either. And by that, it has a freakin' ghost face and looks undead enough.

*** Triple Triad may be a reference to the Warring Triad in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.

** Lunatic Pandora likewise has sequences very similar to music from the Moon in [[Final Fantasy IV]]. Appropriate, considering that it was designed to call down monsters from the moon. Likewise, when the monster's are ready to drop the moon grows red. This same feature is shared by the corrupted moon of IV.

** The blue Galbadian uniforms resemble the SOLDIER uniform from [[Final Fantasy VII]]. They're even issued with Buster Swords.

** Zell's final weapon is quite appropriately named for a [[Fighting Game]], [[Ehrgeiz]].
