Eventually a bunch of them will come out of nowhere and peck you to death.
Be careful when attacking chickens with your swords. Right at the start of the game, when the king gives you your first sword, he will tell you " It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.". Many of the game's enemies, from arrow-shooting goblins and jumping spiders to octopi that leap out of water and shoot bullets at you. Many of your inventory items, like the Boomerang, Bombs, Bow and arrows, and the "Wire Rod" (hookshot).
Much of Dotnia's geographic layout, including a castle and nearby town in the center, or a fiery mountain along the northern edge (and across a river!) with boulders bouncing down its slopes.The first village near Dotnia Castle is called Raejack, a possible reference to Rayjack the knight.Examining a corpse in the 4th dungeon reveals a message that says "Hero needs food badly.".If Lee manages to fall into a trap at the beginning of the Fire Temple a second time, he'll shout "Yeouch! Fairy soup!", referencing Ultros's famous "seafood soup" line from Ted Woolsey's translation of Final Fantasy VI.After beating the Grass Temple near the beginning of the game and crossing the bridge to leave, the screen flashes white, and narration starts talking about how your adventure has begun, how you're holding a mystical orb in your hands, etc., referencing the prologue as the Light Warriors cross the bridge in the original Final Fantasy.To drive the point home, the sage who tells you where to find it cautions you not to get knocked down. One of the temples is located at Lake Garland.("R" and "L" are interchangable in Japanese, so either of those is a valid translation, as is Colneria.) Colneria Village is a reference to the first town in Final Fantasy, which has been translated as Corneria or Cornelia depending on the version.One of Sir Signe's signs reads "D3 si dlroW ehT," a nod to a message in Daryl's Tomb.

There is also a kid who teaches you a "magic spell": "Pam nepo ot 1L sserp!" This is a nod to the brooms in Matoya's Cave in the first Final Fantasy, whose backwards talk shows you how to access the world map. Which involves summoning a demon called Deathtoll. This could also be a double reference to SoulBlazer. He has a grandson named "Dim" who talks about summoning "Deathtax". Raejack Village has an inventor named Dr. Select "no" and the final battle starts, but if you choose "yes" twice, he tells you that your half of the world is also half of the darkness and your player instantly dies, mirroring the Non Standard Game Over that can happen when you confront the Dragonlord. Just like in Dragon Quest I, when you finally face Fuelle in the Dark Tower, he offers you a chance to join him and rule half the world. An almost identical dream happens in Dragon Quest IV, involving the main villain of that game, Psaro, and his lover, Rosa. After sleeping at a certain inn, you will have a dream about a man named Pizzaro checking up on a woman named Rosy in a tower, before abruptly declaring his intention to destroy humanity and leaving. Subverted near the end of the game when you use the Mirror of Truth on Bluesy, and he changes back into a slime. Also in Raejack is a slime named Bluesy who wants To Become Human (reference to Healie the healslime from Dragon Quest IV, who later actually does become human). For bonus points, he uses the same rationale for each possibility that Konata from Lucky Star used in reference to this decision. In Raejack Village, one house contains a guy who's trying to choose between marrying his childhood friend and a rich girl he thinks has a better spell list ( Dragon Quest V has a plot that revolves around this).
You'll meet a fortuneteller/dancer sister duo named Mina and Mary (Meena and Maya from Dragon Quest IV - referencing the fact that Maya was "Mara" in the original NES-era translation). If you can corner one and kill it, you'll get a good monetary reward.

For the Dragon Quest series in general, you'll occasionally see fast-moving " Crystal Slime" enemies.When you take Ice Candy from one of the Dotnia Castle guards during the endgame, you get the message "You now prosess Ice Candy" as a reference to a recurring grammatical error in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.One of the castle guards tells you "We've located Superb Joe! Head to Area 07 and save him!".Take a look at the Loading Screen images here and here, and you'll see that they're all modeled after video game box art, which includes Castlevania, Mega Man, Final Fantasy V, The Tower of Druaga, The Goonies II.One of the character models is a long-haired Bancho.
