FINAL FANTASY XVI - Easter Eggs and (self) References to the series! [ENG/ESP]
FINAL FANTASY XVI is finally out! Time to start the easter egg hunt or self references, as these games tend to make the iconic monsters, spells, weapons, or even character names appear through most of the installments, giving some identity to them, but still keeping their individuality as a standalone game.
What I want to focus on, is not these shared elements of every game, but rather the callbacks and references that 16 makes to the other releases specifically, that makes it so special.
