I love this! xD

I've got some more:
We also have a Don Juan (means womanizer in Spanish, he is also a fictional character). GIRLS! Careful with this one!

Blade and Soul feat. English sayings: "Every dog has its day"

 

I forgot to take a screenshot of this one. In Spirestone Canyon there is a quest called d "Old soldier, bold soldier" (you deliver it to Lei Janshi in Yonkai Skeleton Crew). I knew I heard this one somewhere and googled it.  It seems to come from Doctor Who: '... there are old soldiers and there are bold soldiers, but there are very few old, bold soldiers.'

2-in-1! The quest name is a reference to Disney's "When You Wish Upon a Star" and well... the rest of it is Dragon Ball.

[pandaface]

This one feels more like a coincidence than a reference, but after you-know-what happens to you-know-who, you are required to "Press F to pay respects" just like in that infamous Call of duty scene.

[Rinniika]

There's a quest called 'There Will Be Bloody Jiangshi.' Reference to 'There Will Be Blood.'

 

LOL, I guess these references are why NCSoft was taking such a long time to release BnS. Worth it?

[lines]

this is cool...

 

though I would like to know where did they get the character dances from? sorry for posting this here, but it's still referencing, right? lol

[Tsun]

There's a miniboss in Tomb of the Exiles called Ken Shiro (reference to Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star)

Also, there's a "Whipped Into Shape" reference from Legally Blonde in Bamboo Village

Yeah! It is still a reference. I wonder about that as well as any other of the social mode stuff. 

[RheaXen]

Here I have got three more references to movies!
 

"Gone with the Wind" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031381/)


"No Country for Old Men" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348/)

And I do not know if I am overthinking this last one but the quest name and the quest itself are similar to "Die Hard" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/)

[Rinniika]

I just remembered but there's also a story quest called 'Everything's Coming Up Loctuses' which is a reference to the song in the musical Gypsy called 'Everything's Coming Up Roses.'

[RheaXen]

I never paid attention to this one until today. The Dragon Trade Union NPC in Yehara's Mirage says the following:

 

Sooo... I googled "zenny currency" and I found this:
"Zenny is the fictional currency seen in many Capcom games, including the Mega Man and Breath of Fire series."
And for "bits":
- "Bit is a colloquial expression referring to specific coins in various coinages throughout the world."

- "Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto."
- (This one... lol) "Bits are the standard form of currency of MLP Friendship is Magic."

[Nyanonima]

Theres is  a daily quest :  Dr. Jiangshi and Mr. Hyde and... I dont know if somebody notice it but the movie on Yehara Mirage, the battle between Soha and Juwol, Soha remember me Wanted movie -3-

[RheaXen]

What about Terminator 2? (This is at Brighstone occupation ruins)
 

[Rahaerys]

I've found a couple of other ones:

 

A reference to Poltergeist,

 

A reference to Gordon Ramsay (He even says "My grandma could do better! And she's dead!")

 

A reference to Bitcoins?

[RheaXen]

Nice ones! I already posted the Bits one. You actually missed the meaning of "zenny" though!
The Poltergeist one is hilarious lol

[RheaXen]

I also found the Zelda reference that somebody mentioned some days ago! :D

 

A Tale of Two Sisters is a Korea movie... I don't know if it's an actual reference

 

I also don't know if this one is a reference too but there is a musician called Jake La Botz who made an album called "All Souls and No Money"

 

The Great Escape!

 

Tony Stark?

 

 

[Nyanonima]

Kingdom Hearts... Xehanort

Embrace the darknessss

[Yndril]

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a quest in Gloomdross, referencing the song by the same name.

 

[Trinket]

If you go into Tomb of Exiles and head to the small room with the treasure chest, it has a chance of summoning two mobs named "Timon" and "Pumbaa"

[Trigg]

I believe this is right before turning in the daily quest "Adder Subtraction":

 

 

Sounds like he dislikes the thought of snakes as much as Indiana Jones.

[Rinniika]

My brother saw this one. I don't even need to point out the reference :P

 

[Yndril]

In Caverns of Mastery (where you first met the eight masters) there is a daily with Master Cho's grandchildren, they're looking for a skillbook, but it's guarded by a bear, Yo Gi. After you've gotten the book, she's thinking "what would a bear have a hat for anyway" or something that effect. Reference to Yogi the Bear by Hanna Barbera. Though her remark feels kinda out of place, since the bear doesn't have a hat (as far as i've seen).
