carry over of character concept

Posted

(sorry if there is a thread like this, didn't see anything)

 

ok, as some people know the characters axel and lea were based off of the FFvii character Reno or the other way around (well its most likely true, they look like each other)

 

considering that, would it be possible that marluxia was based off of the FFvii DoC character Weiss?, they have similar characteristics, so it would make sense, setting aside the pink hair

 

also, considering vexen's insanity, he might have been based off of hojo, after all, he's just as creepy :s

 

what do you think, comment on that or any other character similarities within square enix character creations

Well, I'm not much of a final fantasy fanboy here. But I kinda agree on the Axel and Saix thing. And yes I've played a few final fantasy games and have seen advent children

CoM was released in 2004, and DoC was released in 2006. If anything, Weiss is based off of Marluxia, but I don't think they've mentioned it in an interview. Coincidence perhaps?

 

So I wasn't the only person thinking that about Vexen and Hojo. I despise Hojo; Vexen's more tolerable.

 

Axel is, like the other KH counterparts (Leon, Yuffie, etc.), are based after their FF counterparts. Nomura said he designed Axel the way he is to stick a familiar character in an unfamiliar environment.

 

Sora's story reminds me of Claude's from Star Ocean 2. Then again, the plot of a normal kid thrown into a huge adventure to protect the universe is pretty popular, and somewhat overused ^^; Sora's/Roxas' stance and victory poses are also quite similar to that of Zack/Cloud.

 

Riku on the other hand, has, or used to have a victory pose similar to Squall's in FF8, but his battle stance is similar to Sephiroth's, just one-handed. And of course, the popular fanfiction theme of Riku being a remnant and "one of Mother's little boys" like Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz/Sephiroth's son. Long silver hair and blue-green eyes will do that to you, unfortunately.

 

Before BBS was released, people said Terra looks like Zack. And Larxene being Elena's Nobody, Demyx being Rufus' Nobody, Xaldin being Tseng's Nobody...well, you get the idea. A lot of weird connections based on similarities between Nomura's character designs.

you flew a lot of FF stuff i didnt know much about, i just have played iv, parts of vii, x, and xii, not much else, i didn't know sephiroth had a son, all i know is that he is lucrecia and hojo's experimented son, which is kinda disturbing considering their age differences, hojo is freaky

Nah, Sephiroth doesn't have a son. But in fanfics, Riku is almost always his child, just because of the physical similarities between them. And of course, in these fanfics, Riku also has three older brothers, aka the antagonists of Advent Children ^^;

 

FFnet. It's not good for you.
