==== Mentions of things related to Amphoreus (though not explicitly connected) ==== * [[readable:db.hss:herta.asset.damage.eval.list|Herta Asset Damage Evaluation List]]: Towards the end, it mentions the "Aquila constellation" being something that a megascope is used to observe. * [[readable:db.hss:species.of.the.galaxy.tottonid|Species of the Galaxy: Tottonid]]: Towards the end, it mentions "that Aeon," which seems to be referring to Fuli based on the "lost people of yesteryear" being able to "be given a rebirth." * [[readable:db.hss:researcher.memo.notes|Researchers' Memo Notes]]: This is spurious, but I love the fact that there's a mention of a Melon Fairy (Part IV) as far back as 1.0... and then we get Anaxa and his giant crops. * [[factions:lord.ravagers.destruction|Lord Ravagers (Destruction)]] entry mentions both 'coreflames' and the 'sea of stars' when referencing a quote in the in-world Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith; at some point, we're going to need the game to address who this guy is, even in a random note. * [[divergent:operational.record:remembrance.hc#cognition_reviewer|Cognition Reviewer]] in the Divergent Universe (Human Comedy) has some interesting parallels to what's been happening on Amphoreus, while [[divergent:operational.record:remembrance.hc#mausoleum_of_scars|Mausoleum of Scars]] has parallels to Phainon in particular. There's also bits of [[divergent:operational.record:remembrance.hc#purifier|Purifier]] that feel like how Evernight took care of March 7th, and then [[divergent:operational.record:remembrance.hc#bookwriter|Bookwriter]] reminds me of Mem/Cyrene. * [[divergent:operational.record:nihility.hc#rescuer|Rescuer]] (Divergent Universe, The Human Comedy) reminds me quite a bit of Phainon's many cycles. * The structure of [[readable:db.jarilo-vi:jarilo.god.spring.war|Jarilo: God of Spring and War]], there are some things that remind me of Amphoreus. The Eternal Freeze feels similar to the Black Tide; the cyclical nature of the story and one of the cycles getting broken. ---- ==== Things that are related to Penacony ==== * Interesting that [[readable:db.jarilo-vi:dreamland.analysis|Dreamland Analysis]] was in the Jarilo-VI database, which talks about shared dreams and how real dreams are. ---- ==== References to things outside of the game ==== * [[readable:db.hss:notification.for.physical.exams|Notification for Physical Exams]] refers to the "Herta Panopticon System," which is a discomforting connection to Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon. * [[readable:db.hss:curio.management.log#part_iii|Curio Management, Part III]] amuses me so much because there's a reference to Bonnie Tyler's song, which John Steinman said he wrote to be a vampire love song. * The [[concepts:xianzhou.zhuming|Xianzhou Zhuming]] has a line that seems to reference the Ship of Theseus (the ship no longer looks as it originally did, as it has been modified constantly). * The description of Artem in the [[readable:db.jarilo-vi:tale.winterlands|Tale of the Winterlands]] reminds me a lot of Artem in Tears of Themis, though some of the aspects remind me of the other characters, too. There's also a water land where people can breathe underwater (à la Fontaine in Genshin). * Is [[external:pompom.intel:verdant.knights.special#feixiao_of_verdant_knights|Feixiao]] from Final Fantasy 8, using a gunblade?
