Most everything is a reference/callback to a previous FF either in name, design, or on the nose references.
Tbh it even extends to things outside of the series depending on the localization you're playing with - the English version of the game loves to throw in a reference whenever possible lol. The achievement you get for opening chests in the Treasure Map dungeons? Aqua Gleam Hunter Force. A bunch of Simpsons references here and there, like the PLD job quests.

It's getting to the point where I'm just assuming everything that isn't a reference to [Not FF] is a reference to FF
