Oracle of Tao/Funny
- Much of the game is humor based on ShoutOuts to other concepts. For instance, Nevras looks a bit like a Cloud Expy. Guess how he plans to sneak into Delphi's all-female temple?
- For that matter, it turned out not to even be necessary.
 |
Delphi: No need to disguise yourselves, I know there are men among you. |
 |
- There are some EasterEggs looking at the coding, some of which you'd never see, playing the game. For instance, there is an Infinity+1 Sword that is awarded to you at 100% probability after the last possible boss called the Final Sword. The item description says:
|
Weapon you will never, ever get to use. |
|
- For that matter, some of the item descriptions are song lyrics. For example a staff attack says I know I hit it once, I hit it twice. and an enemy only spell called Eternal Flame has or is this burning.... in its description.
- There are also some really bad puns, such as the following:
|
Snake Dinner: Snake with potato fries, drenched in gravy. Wait... |
|
- Some of the more interesting Fairy Tales, including a Gender Flip version of Twilight, with the girl as the vampire. She is at risk for death due to incompatible blood during pregnancy, so then she's bitten by a human and turns mortal.
- There's a faux-Harlequin novel in one of the shelves, with heavy science-fiction overtones. The story talks about how "slowly and seductively, starting with the feet" this guy kisses his girl. Only, her chest pops open and out pops a giant mantis monster which proceeds to eat him "slowly and seductively, starting with the feet"...
- There's a Snowlems story. Snowmen freeze the city, except for the house of the person who created them.
- In general, many of the books in the game were written this way...
