Which makes that scene so much more disturbing.
The "poofpoof" is a reference to the "puff puff" from Dragon Quest, which is essentially marshmallow hell. The man in Raejack Village who asks you to decide between marrying a rich girl (with a better spell set) or his childhood friend is a reference to a choice the hero must make in Dragon Quest 5. The fortuneteller and her sister who spends all their money are a reference to the sisters Meena and Maya from Dragon Quest IV. The slime in Raejack Village who wants to be a human is a reference to Healie the slime in Dragon Quest IV. I've never played the Dragon Quest games (well, except part of VIII), so these are all from John Thacker. The Sticky White Stuff, the Hero's Soul, the complaints about the game being hard, the writing on the floor, and the messages about healing someone are all references to Demon's Souls.
The "From Cave" contains references to Demon's Souls, another game by From Software. I've never played Demon's Souls, so this is from John Thacker:
After receiving the Karasawa, Dic calls you "Raven" - the name given to Armored Core pilots. The Karasawa "sword" is a version of the Karasawa from Armored Core. The "mech game" that an NPC is creating is a direct reference to Armored Core. (Atlus is the publisher, From Software made the original game.) So not surprisingly, there are a few references. If you want to help complete it, post additions as comments - I promise I do eventually get around to checking the moderation queue!Īrmored Core is a fairly large series by From Software, the makers of 3D Dot Game Heroes. The disc runs 53:51 and consists of 39 tracks.This is an incomplete list of references found in 3D Dot Game Heroes.
