"Recycled elements of Square-Enix games?"

**Forever Atlas** · 04/09/08, 05:17 AM

Okay well, as I was playing FF VII: CC I noticed a lot of similarities between that game and KH.....

for example: both have an old abandoned mansion just outside a little town.

In that same town, there are the seven or however many "wonders" of the town...

Characters that resemble each other such as Axel and Cissnei, both with red hair AND the same weapon choice.

Terra and Zack looking quite similar.

On to KH and FF versus XIII... we see a very similar attack combo like that of Xaldin's

and between FF games different characters recycled? like cloud and the new heroine in FF XIII?

Now thats just FF and KH we know square-enix has many other games.

there's a lot more but what do you think about this? could it be mere coincidence? lol or do you think that square-enix does recycle their characters and plots?

These are ridiculous claims! Nomura doesn't recycle his ideas!

I can't help but pity you if its taken this long for you to realize that.

**SuperEclipse** · 04/09/08, 09:30 AM

Are you really shocked?

This coming form Square-Enix, they also don't really try anymore.. Because no matter what they make fanboys seem too buy..

Square is becoming the EA of JRPGs..

To be fair I wouldn't act like Square-Enix is the only developer who's ever reusing similar designs, puzzles, weapons, quests, even characters or character archetypes etc.

I guess you can only design so much untill you start to revise on your previous desgined characters and how you can edit them.

Honestly, people say that all the time, but I really don't see the resemblance.

**Ziz** · 04/16/08, 01:06 AM

Zack and terra had similiar hairstyles, nothing else. Cissnei always occured to me to be what Kairi would be like if she was older but having Axel's weapons.

Cloud is like Roxas
Olette is like Aeris.

It's Nomura, no surprise

Because a few minor elements that take up five minutes of attention collectively renders the games completely the same.

Seriously, this is true. EA does that so often it's not even funny.
