Hidden Details: Final Revival
Added 2022-09-09 14:00:06 +0000 UTCWelcome to the one-hundredth-and-forty-third episode of the Hidden Details blog!
Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, ONE crewmate and ONE obscure retro character. Bonus panels don't count.
1: In Tifa's bar, there's a neon sign hanging on the wall that indeed looks a bit sussy, Spirit of Gotham.
2: Ike interprets "Phoenix Down" as an incorrect version of "Phoenix Wright" (up, down, left, wright), so he corrects Tifa in the third panel. Thanks for the compliment, Cendrail.
3: Balthazar is visible on Barret's dogtag in the fourth panel. I guess we should call them buntags, Michael Ederer.
4: Since bonus panels don't count, I had to include SOME reference to Italy in this comic. So, I added the Italian flag to Kazooie's drink in the fourth panel, GhostElmo. If you don't know what this is referring to, just google "tifa Italian senate" but be aware, it's very NSFW.
5: Yeah, isn't Tifa's bar somewhat of an anti-Shinra establishment, edmg7? That's at least what the wiki told me, so I put a little sign there in panel five that says "Shinra employees NOT welcome!".
6: On Tifa's wiki page, the word cocktail is cut off (at least on my screen), so I had a hearty chuckle over "Tifa's signature cock-" and I decided to add it to the comic. Glad you appreciate my mature sense of humor, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
7: The Kaptain K. Rool rum makes another appearance, after being featured in the comic where the Smash Sisters get hammered and another comic that I can't recall at the moment. In any case, good catch, Trigger!
8: This week's loss is visible divided over the four bottles on Tifa's bar behind Cloud when he is revived. Good catch, Generic Hero!
9: People in the Discord came up with this, VisionPlayer22! I had forgotten Cloud's unfinished sentence when he got poisoned more than a year ago, but I thought it was a great idea to make him finish it upon revival.
10: Kazooie is mad at Barret for stealing a feather without asking in the seventh panel. One of the anger cloud is indeed hers, Tejayes.
11: This week's obscure retro character is the protagonist of Final Fantasy II: Firion! His portrait is visible in the final panel, as spotted by Cameron Devera.
12: Apparently, Cloud even told a random yellow Pikmin about Sephiroth being evil, as he's pointing at one sitting on the lampshade in the final panel, as mentioned by Pandocula.
13: It's just a random cake, Lord Circe, but I do consider the fact that Mario made a little cake for Cloud a hidden detail!
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.

Sorry about getting carried away. Won't happen again.

2022-09-14 15:43:38 +0000 UTCdunno if this is a reference but... while trying to revive the pokemon characters Kazooie was disguised as a Ho-oh, which is the representation of the phoenix in that franchise... soooo... it counts??
Miguel Espinosa
2022-09-13 17:26:22 +0000 UTCA bit of a stretch, but bringing up that Phoenix Downs only resuscitate knocked out party members might be a reference to a supposed workaround regarding ‘the scene’ from FF VII
Jon Brouse
2022-09-13 13:24:31 +0000 UTCSo... what I've found : Amogus ! Phoenix Wright ? Yeah, not wrong Italian flag in Kazooie cocktail (because Tifa enjoy Italian Senate) They really don't want Shinra to come drink here Kaptain K. Rool deliver some rhum here Firion (FF 2) Picture at welcome back party oh and... could you please push this bottle, Tifa ? I'd like to see the "tail" in "cocktail"

2022-09-13 08:49:53 +0000 UTCHi, this is Rubia Ryu, I'm borrowing this account just to say "Shout out to Phoenix Wright". Man can save people from the brink of destruction, but even he won't be able to save Sephiroth's case. Also, that's Firion/Firionel from FFII in the last panel.
Maxwell Wang
2022-09-12 22:44:12 +0000 UTCDid anyone notice the final fantasy character art in the motion panel?
Gabriel Antwiler
2022-09-12 22:35:01 +0000 UTCI still feel like this is a missed opportunity to have Sora make a cameo appearance in this particular comic
Shelby Kinkead
2022-09-11 17:17:03 +0000 UTCOne detail per person please, as it says in the post :)
Wooden Plank Studios
2022-09-10 14:57:34 +0000 UTCThere are so many great Easter Eggs! 1. Crewmate is the glowy bar sign behind Barret in Panel 2. 2. Balthazar on Barret's keychain in Panel 3 3. Sign saying "SHINRA EMPLOYEES NOT WELCOME" in Panel 5 4. KAPTAIN K. ROOL RUM & Tifa's Signature Cock in Panel 6 5. Loss on the bar bottles in Panel 6 6. Cloud's Last Words before poisoning finishes the line, 'You, Son of a' "-BITCH!" Panel 7. Mario offers Cloud a welcome back cake, though Cloud doesn't appreciate his doctor's gift in Panel 8 8. Kazooie is mad at Barret for plucking her feather to revive Cloud, without her permission in Panel 7 9. A tiny flag of Italy on Kazooie's drink in Panel 3 Let me know if I missed any big ones/little details...
Sean Chan
2022-09-10 14:49:21 +0000 UTCFirst thing, Cloud really did die saying "You son of a-" Second, i may be off on my Geography, but is that an Italian flag in Kazooie's drink?
Wallace Megas
2022-09-10 01:09:54 +0000 UTCin the last panel you can see a picture of Firion from Final Fantasy 2
Miguel Espinosa
2022-09-09 20:17:38 +0000 UTCTifa has a bottle of "Kaptain K. Rool Rum" in stock
Pokedude14
2022-09-09 18:04:48 +0000 UTCThere’s an Among Us (crew mate) on the neon sign in the second panel.
Strengthening Weakener
2022-09-09 17:52:53 +0000 UTCOn the panel where cloud is revived , bottles on the shelf behind him form a Loss
Rahiel
2022-09-09 16:27:32 +0000 UTCCloud blaming a small Pikmin for trusting Sephiroth.
Karelia Cristina
2022-09-09 16:04:41 +0000 UTCIn the final panel cloud is telling everyone "i told you" to everyone that they shouldn't have trusted sephiroth in the first place kinda being a party pooper if ya ask me
Fighting Master
2022-09-09 15:33:39 +0000 UTCI saw a sign that said "Tifa's famous cock" with a bottle covering what I assumed to be the other half of the word cocktail
Patticus
2022-09-09 15:31:26 +0000 UTCWhat a sick reference to Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney franchise in the third panel. First time I've seen someone make a pun on his name other than Wright/Wrong
Cendrail
2022-09-09 15:22:45 +0000 UTC2nd to last panel: While most of the anger clouds (no pun intended) come from Cloud, one comes from Kazooie aimed at that featherpluckin' Barrett.
Tejayes
2022-09-09 15:03:04 +0000 UTCKing K Rool Rum beside Tifa's signature COCKtail
Trigger
2022-09-09 14:37:59 +0000 UTCItalian flag in Kazooie's coffee
The Human
2022-09-09 14:36:21 +0000 UTCOnly one detail per comment, also both of those were already pointed out
Spirit of Gotham
2022-09-09 14:32:07 +0000 UTCThe Human
2022-09-09 14:29:02 +0000 UTCOkay, this is probably a stretch, but Ike being there to help revive Cloud is a reference to them both being large sword wielders and Ike being used as the stand in for Sephiroth in Cloud's trailer.
Zach
2022-09-09 14:28:07 +0000 UTCCloud says "Bitch" finishing his final sentence before dying.
RedViolet69
2022-09-09 14:27:51 +0000 UTCMario's cake seems to be from the Kirby's Dream Buffet game. Hope he checked that there aren't little Kirbys rolling around on it.
Lord Circe
2022-09-09 14:14:39 +0000 UTCThe final panel has the retro main character from Final Fantasy 2 in the picture frame. His name is Firion.
Coffee
2022-09-09 14:14:08 +0000 UTCThe sign that makes it clear that Shinra employees are not welcome in the bar is a reference to the corporate antagonists of FF7 and that the bar is a base of the terrorist organization Avalanche who are trying to stop them.
edmg7
2022-09-09 14:09:43 +0000 UTCSecond last panel a yellow pikmin appears that Cloud pointing at

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2022-09-09 14:05:04 +0000 UTCKazooie's glass has a little Italy flag, no doubt a sign of the deep, deep ties between Tifa and their senate
Luffink
2022-09-09 14:04:54 +0000 UTCTifa is cleaning a glass just like most default idle animations for bartenders in video games (and sometimes even tv and movies)

2022-09-09 14:04:10 +0000 UTCItaly flag on Kazooie's cocktail due to the unfortunate Italian senate incident
