Author Topic: List of References (potential spoilers?) (Read 217 times)

RKS · « **on:** 31 January 2015, 13:19:09 »

A list of references will be handy, since there'll probably be lots of them in the future.

References listed will be from the released versions, and not the future versions.

UNIVERSAL:

None so far?

VARIOUS AREAS:

The maps in the Maps folder are a reference to some Castlevania games, though apparently also Metroid games
The Warp Doors are references to Aria of Sorrow and the Nintendo DS Castlevania games
Gardevoir reference the Pokémon franchise
The Yumemi Hoshino outfit references the Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet visual novel
The Kalifa outfit references the One Piece franchise
Yes Town references Pokémon RSEORAS
Some enemies reference Ikachan - while most of these enemies are in the Reservoir area, however, some of them are outside of that area (such as at Tower D)
There are various references to the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums, including some memes (like "______ STORY")

ENTRANCE:

The intro references Castlevania (Simon's Quest?) and One Piece
Eron Araia Armweak references Fullmetal Alchemist as well as Metal Gear
The save rooms reference some of the Castlevania games
Hiranya (purplish-haired girl at entrance) references Grandia 2; her quote is obviously different. The quote from Grandia 2 referenced is:
Quote from: Ryudo
Does not Ryudo tire of this? Does he not want to put his fist through this book? May his suffering end quickly.
The computer has various references to the Cave Story Tribute Site forums, as well as to Mega Man.
The Mimiga, Chie, says "Hello, my friend. Stay a while and listen." This references Diablo, I think. And obviously Cave Story. And also Pokémon.
The girl who tells you about the Castle Treasury references an amazing Beta Tester who misnamed the characters. (I asked him if it is okay for those misnamings to be used for an NPC.)
Arnold (the guy who owns the computer) references Terraria:
Quote from: Clothier
My master cannot be summoned under the light of day.
Though, it makes little difference whether the Newerthian clock is on "day" or "night".
The girl who talks about the World of Tears (Dianke) references Obscuro Lumen Venenum Aeris, which got canned. The Glorphians also reference Dragon Riders.
The witch who talks about Flame Source Casters, and her sister who speaks in emoticon, both reference Shane's canceled Vion Ierra mod.
The robot pirate references Portal (I think), where he says the cake is not a lie. And asks if the LS DataScape is a lie.
Xyz is a reference to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise (in name only - its name is pronounced "ik-seez" but that's about it; lampshaded in the Servant Quarters area)
That girl who cannot leave the "house" references one of Randolf/Wayne's posts when he encountered a major bug in a previous version - you couldn't leave that house at all, if you entered. This has since been fixed with version 1b's release.

LABORATORY:

The roach in the save room before Sycor references Symphony of the Night (the "what is a man?" quote)

RESERVOIR:

None that I can recall.

TOWER:

Tower D references La-Mulana

SERVANT QUARTERS:

Grialdyn references Riviera: The Promised Land with his quote "Burn in emerald flames" (in Riviera, Ledah says "Burn in crimson flames" IIRC)
Shinica references Castlevania by mentioning Vampire Killer, as well as Konami in general by mentioning the Konami Code (from Gradius or Parodius, not sure)
The scene with Alexis attacking Shinica references Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
The "it hurts" in Valkyrie's scene as well as the "father why" in Grialdyn's scene references the Chzo Mythos series; Grialdyn also references the original Cave Story with some of its defeated quotes
The bookshelves reference the following:
- The Ginny Anderson books reference the Harry Potter franchise:
  - Ginny Anderson and the Half-Blood Moon
  - Ginny Anderson and the Four Philosophers reference La-Mulana as well (the Four Philosophers)
  - Ginny Anderson and the Final Clorensians
  - Ginny Anderson and the Strawberry Crisis references Touhou as well (a song from the Touhou games is called "Strawberry Crisis!!")
  - Ginny Anderson and the Grim Sleeper
  - Ginny Anderson and the Dullahan Bikers
  - Ginny Anderson and the Garter Ninja Maid might also reference Touhou (uncertain at this point)
  - Ginny Anderson and the Little Princess of the Lunar Realm
  - Ginny Anderson and the Battle Cat Army
  - Ginny Anderson and the End of Existence
- Emily X. Odia (writer of The Artifacts of Xenobia the Fallen) references the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise ("Exodia")
- B'yal Glowblade (writer of The Lace Glove) references the Monsuno series (there is a character named Beyal and a Monsuno named Glowblade)
- The Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year: Fate of Sixty Years book references the Touhou games; it's also lampshaded
The Master references the Cave Story Tribute Site forums with his "subfolders" speech, and also references Portal with his mentioning of a deadly neurotoxin
The statues that reference Cave Story
Aodhán's statue references Wipeout (2008 series with obstacle courses, hosted by John Henson and John Anderson IIRC)

TOP FLOOR:

None yet.

THE ZONE AREAS:

The Sea Zone references one of TED's mods (I think it was unreleased?) which had the Sea Zone as a copy of the Sand Zone from vanilla CS.
Cheriza's quotes reference Grandia 2 as well:
Quote from: Melfice
Long have I waited for this day… […] For my REBIRTH…
Though, my memory might be mistaken. She also references Cave Story:
Quote from: Ballos
Now… kill me! Or I-- shall kill YOU!
Cheriza eating a fruit that allowed her to shapechange into a sasquatch is a reference to One Piece, which has Zoan-type Devil Fruits that grant similar abilities. Such as a Devil Fruit that lets the eater turn into an ox, or a giraffe.
The Realm of Crystal, Wyvern Riders and "nega-cyan gal" all reference Dragon Riders.

NOT REFERENCES:

The Crescent Moon is not a reference to RWBY which has a Crescent Rose.

If I've missed any, please notify me in this thread

TO DO:
4 January 2016: continue from Tower TP

I thought Xyz wasn't an actual Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal reference. I guess you're a Konami fan in general. Which brings up a question will we have a MGS reference. Just asking.

RKS · « **Reply #2 on:** 31 January 2015, 19:08:33 »

I'm a fan of Castlevania and Yu-Gi-Oh! though I've also played Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious and Lost in Blue before. However, aside from those games, I might reference other Konami games.

Dianke · « **Reply #3 on:** 08 February 2015, 17:10:51 »

Going by some of the screenshots, there are several references to Ikachan (like those crabs).

RKS · « **Reply #4 on:** 09 February 2015, 02:21:08 »

Yes, but not in versions 0, 1 or 2.
When version 3 is officially released (and not in a beta release), the references list will be updated.

Micren and the squid and crabs reference Ikachan, yes.
Tower D references La-Mulana.

RKS · « **Reply #5 on:** 21 February 2015, 00:42:38 »

List updated; I may have missed various other references though.

Sonja · « **Reply #6 on:** 26 February 2015, 02:05:33 »

"Emily X. Odia"
"Exodia"

How did I not notice that. ¬¬

alfasketer · « **Reply #7 on:** 26 February 2015, 05:48:49 »

Exodoa?! Seriously how we didn't noticed that. Jees I wasn't playing Yu-Gi-Oh! for a long time.

.
PS: Anybody of you using Duel Network?

RKS · « **Reply #8 on:** 26 February 2015, 18:07:03 »

Nope. For unknown reasons I'm unable to access it, although there is only one person I would like to challenge to a duel - Shane.
Which, unfortunately, won't ever happen, since he himself is aware that just about all of his cards are fake, and he's rather angry at the stores in his hometown. (I don't know if there are exceptions, though.)
If I remember correctly what he mentioned somewhere:
He has at least eight unused Obelisk the Tormentors, for instance. He also has various "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" cards.
He also has two of the sacred beast cards from GX (the blue one and the yellow one).
He also has only Fusion and Ritual Monsters, yet he can only use two of his Ritual Monsters, and three of his Fusion Monsters (they don't require Polymerization, and Shane doesn't have it).

Of course, I don't trust my own memory with this; I'm gonna try and find where he mentioned it.

With that aside:
The first post has once again been updated with some references I forgot (including Eron Armweak and the intro).

I still feel like I'm missing something major with the Reservoir area, though...

alfasketer · « **Reply #9 on:** 26 February 2015, 18:14:58 »

Well about the cards I needed 10 years to find Polymerization In my country. Also there were 6 versions of Exodia: Circle Exodia; Star Exodia; Full Circle Exodia; Full Star Exodia; Black Exodia and Sand Exodia. All fake. Only way to get originals was to travel to other countries.

RKS · « **Reply #10 on:** 26 February 2015, 18:19:03 »

I know, it's ridiculous how many fake cards exist.
Some people also believe that blank cards can be any card (most likely as a result of the anime blanking cards until a later episode to keep the cards' details like attack and such a mystery), which is definitely false.

alfasketer · « **Reply #11 on:** 26 February 2015, 18:24:15 »

I remember a friend using a blank card. I needed half an hour to explain to him. Also our country had magic and traps with star level. We still have a good laugh every time i talk about them

Does musical references also count? If so, there are at least a dozen of those

Anyway, Reservoir has enemies that reference Ikachan; while that is listed under Various Areas, most of the Ikachan references are in the Reservoir, including the Micren boss (the map).
I do not believe you missed anything, but we might have missed some references.

Not all of the forum members have played Grandia 2 before, for instance; unless I am mistaken you are the only one who has, Kim.

Anyway...
"Garter Ninja Maid" reminds me of Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou.

Those would go in the "Songs" thread.

True, I'll update the first post with that note.

Shane too, I think.

Fan art is to blame for that, probably?

Dianke · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 March 2015, 12:55:25 »

I am guessing that Acidic Bubble references Castlevania? Charlotte Aulin has that as a spell in Portrait of Ruin.
