Me? Doughting FF Series Relation? Nope.
OBVIOUSLY the creators hold a special place when they come to creating their characters personality and/or image.
1. Theres ALWAYS A young, cheeky blond dude who appears to be the main guy
2. Theres ALWAYS an optimistic, cute girl who has a close connection with 1
3. Theres ALWAYS a hotter guy, who knows more than 1 and pushes 1 around, but in the back of his mind, likes 1 a lot (as a friend of course)
4. Theres ALWAYS some kind of "thing" like non-human, hidden behind a thoughtful and intelligent face, with a deep sadness about there old home.
5. Theres ALWAYS a beautiful, usually (in fact always I think) brunette girl who softly and unwillingly falls for 1
6. Theres ALWAYS an older, stronger man, who's history is rapped in a mystery, and has a symbolic wound, as if the past still haunts him.
7. Theres always #2's sidekick or close friend or even family, usually wise and female, telling the party whats up, so us players aren't lost.
Heres the most contravener (at the moment) examples:
A. Cloud, Vaan, Tidus
B. Yuffie (Tifa*), Penelo, Rikku
C. Barret, Balthier (THE hottest so far), Wakka
D. Cat Saith (sp?) AND Red X (wow 2 of 'em), Fran**, Kimahri
E. Aries (sp? go easy on me, i didn't play it.), Ashe, Yuna
F. Vincent, Basch, Auron
G. Tifa*, Fran**, Lulu
* The optimism in this example is in another character (yuffie or something) and shes close to Barret, but still plays clouds closest friend
** FFXII only had 6 characters, so number 7 and number 4 where combined, in a very good way i think.
i mean, who ever really likes kimahri as a playable character. Hes awesome as a character, but just a burden to those who cant "ignore" a character, and has to train them all. and i heard cat saith was a joke, so I think 12 did a great job combining 7 & 4.
And of course, theres always a Cid, sometimes playable, mostly not.
Theres also a very smart scientist who used to be a good man, but got so caught up in his work he becomes lost to whats right. (Hojo [FFVII], Mechan [FFX/FFx-2{turned out to be unsent for 1000 years}], Dr. Cid)
And recently there has been an image of a man, handsome, long hair that flows in face, and looks appealing, but always has another plan going on that has nothing to do with what he tells his listeners. (Nooj [FFX-2], and Vayne)
And call me silly, but I think they are making fun of Fabio, the real life male model, in FFX/FFX-2 as Rin? Long Blond flowing locks . . . muscular ripped abdomen . . . fantasy accent . . . Too shallow for me, but I guess every other girl loves him.
Who knows who these people are, but they are real people, who influenced someone who has a lot of power in FF series, Like the creator, or writer, or mabey producer. Recently, one of them had retired, I'm not sure AT ALL which one, I just heard a whisper of a rumor that someone had retired, which would indubitably explain the sudden change in main character and friends. But it makes perfect sense there alike, there all made by the same people, for the most parts. Its like a CD. You buy the CD and you listen to it, and all the songs are similar.
Some may be sad that they won't get there dose of these people, but remember, it will be nice to have a change. I know I'll be sad, I really like the whole blond-guy-who's-best-friend-is-cheery-is-falling-for-the-
good-girl-who-eventually-goes-against-main-objective-influenced-
by-the-deep-voice-old-man thing. Lolz.
On a serious note, everyone can relate to a person in the party. Heres the bottom line proof that these people were MENT to be alike: I, Kourtney, am most like Yuffie, Rikku, and Penelo. Look back at B. Imagine that.
So lets loop back to the point. DESPITE the fact that Final Fantasy games really ARE a lot alike, and its a no brainer that they all have strange coincidences , FFXIII will NOT be a rip or FFVII. The reason being is that there are new "album artists" making the game, so it should actually be VERY different then the rest. Saying FF13 is like ANY other FF, is like saying Hannah Montana has the same kind of music as Three Days Grace. Different people behind the scenes, different results. And that as they say is that.
