FFXIV Dawntrail pays tribute to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 with catchy song reference Square EnixThe Dawntrail expansion in Final Fantasy XIV has paid tribute to the wildly successful ARPG Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 by referencing a catchy song from the main menu screen. Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s Dawntrail has just been released to the live servers. The new expansion brings a brand new story, six new zones, two new jobs, and a whole bunch more content to the MMORPG. With early access out of the way, much of the player base has finished the story, moving on to the game\u2019s various extremes and other side content to fill in their time. This includes things like leveling up crafters and other combat jobs, trying out Viper and Pictomancer, and even checking out all the new zones in the game\u2019s graphical update. Part of Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s content is completing many of the game\u2019s side quests, where players have discovered a neat reference to the beloved ARPG Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Notably, many discovered a quest title in the healer role quests. Players noticed that one of the quests titled \u201cDowned by the River\u201d is a reference to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s undeniably catchy song Down by the River. There\u2019s no surprise that the game referenced it either, as Final Fantasy XIV is constantly referring to popular culture, including video games, movies, and much more. Not only that but Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 also has a reference to Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s beloved Haurchefant, a character who bravely sacrifices themself for the Warrior of Light. It\u2019s clear that the devs for each game have a tonne of respect for each other, and are huge fans of the fantastical storytelling contained within their games. With Dawntrail still fresh, there\u2019s sure to be plenty more hidden easter eggs and references to be found, it\u2019ll just depend on when and where players are able to find them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
