Randomly thinking, there's clearly a lot of references in the game. Ranging from Weapons to Ads and I was more or less generally wondering if we should dedicate a page to a complete list of known references in the game? Ranging from General, Locations, Monsters, and Equipment, there's quite a few references hidden throughout the game.
Just a quick example of references that I can list while behind tired:
== General ==
*An early ad features the words "It's dangerous to go alone, take these!" This is a popular reference to the Old Man in original The Legend of Zelda when given the Wooden Sword states "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!"
== Equipment ==
*[[Voltedge]]'s description mentions "1.21 gigawatt" is a famous reference to the movie Back to the Future, in which 1.21 gigawatts of power were required to allow the DeLorean to travel through time.
*[[Ash of Agni]]'s description is a reference to the 2012 The Dark Knight Rises. In the film, the main antagonist, Bane tells Batman "Once Gotham is in ruins, then you have my permission to die."
The page would give link to their correct sources but I just thought that it might be great to log it all in one spot.
There have been many threads about this topic. So don't rediscover everything yourself; just mine those threads for material. The good news is that many players would be interested in such a wiki page. It's a good idea.

By the way, Ash of Agni certainly predates that movie. But, strangely, its description (at least on the wiki) has changed many times. Hmm.
