FF8 similarities

[Future Esthar]

There are a lot also.

L´Cie->
Namely:
Light->Squall(gunblade)?Quistis(appearance)?
Fang->Rinoa(physically)
Vanille->Selphie
Snow->Zell?Irvine?
Hope->No real idea.Maybe Squall.
Sazh->Irvine?

Fal´Cie->Sorceress

For example:

Anima->Edea
Orphan->Adel
Cocoon->Adel´s Tomb
This supports the Fang->Rinoa thing.

Serah->Ellone

Pulse->Centra

Cid->Seifer

Arks->Gardens

I repent on the Laguna->Lindzei comparison I made on another thread.
It didn´t make sence.

Oerba->FH


I will continue later.

[kotora]

Cats -> dogs
Apples -> pears

[Future Esthar]

L´Cie->Seed

Palompolum->Balamb

Bodhum->Edea´s house

Disley->?????

The question marks means that this is a surprise.
You can entertain yourselves thinking the answer.

But the identity of Disley relates not to the explicit story of FF8 but with my theories.

Disley represents two different characters but there is one that is obvious.

[ANGRYWOLF]

than it does FFVIII.

FFVII because of the rebels and FFX because of a corrupt pseudo religious hierarchy.:roll2

[ShinGundam]

The right answer is NO :eep:

[No.78]

FFXIII can be paralleled to every other FF and has tons of subtle references. So do all the FFs, too. :)

[arcanedude34]

Oprah -> Zeromus cause they're both like, final bosses and have an 'r' in their names. No seriously, I got this theory, see. Like, the Cocoon -> the moon, right? And Dysley -> Tellah cause they're both old. Moar later!!!

[Future Esthar]

Don´t go off topic Arcane please.This is about FF8 and FF13

[arcanedude34]

Okay, sorry, umm... hmm... Oh! Odine -> Odin! Seriously, it's only one letter off! That HAD to be intentional.

[Moon Rabbits]

Oprah -> Zeromus cause they're both like, final bosses and have an 'r' in their names. No seriously, I got this theory, see.

Finally it all makes sense now.

[Future Esthar]

Arcane,this thread compares FFVIII with FFXIII not with itself.

[arcanedude34]

Odin's in FFXIII, Mr. Condescending-Man >=( Just for that, I'm not sharing the rest of my awesome theories with you!

[Future Esthar]

Of course.Shame on me!

However

Maker->Dr.Odine

The Maker himself created a bird device that enables him to communicate with the characters unsuspiciously.

[Loony BoB]

I don't think there is anything uncannily similar between FFVIII and FFXIII. I also think most of your "similarities" are lacking any kind of backing up. I guess this is just a thread for your FFVIII hobbie, though, and so long as this is the only thread for it then there's no real harm in leaving it open.

[Future Esthar]

Most of them are self-obvious

[Loony BoB]

Cid and Seifer, for example, are completely different. As are Edea and Anima.

[ChickenHeart]

Anima and Edea...are you serious?
One is a 'god' like machine who used to communicate with cocoon (i think), and the other is caring woman who looks after children and has magic powars...what

[Future Esthar]

Some of the similarities I mentioned have huge differences.But they also have a lot in common.The similarities are significant enough.

The following are the best similarities:

Ark->Garden
Serah->Ellone
Polumpolum->Balamb
Fang->Rinoa

etc...

[arcanedude34]

Fang has nothing to do with Rinoa, they don't even look similar (the hair color and the GENERAL color of their outfits is about it). Garden is a school, Ark is an obstacle course, Serah and Ellone have NOTHING in common, and Palompolum and Balamb have even less in common. *smack smack smack*

[Sword]

Future Esthar your threads make me facepalm so much. Some of those comparisons are seriously stupid.

[Future Esthar]

You can´t see the similarities but they are there.

By the way:
Garden=Centra ruins scattered around the world turned to military facility where people are trained to become stronger.
Looks pretty much like the Ark to me.
In this sence the Ark is also a "school"

Serah and Ellone are different and have different roles.
But both represent the typical FF girl which are young and special and are hunted by the government and friends alike.
They are the equivalent of Aeris of FF7.

Polumpolum´s layout at the begginin looks like the layout of Balamb.Punto.
Not relevant anyway.

Follow my logic:

Rinoa possessed by Ultimecia breaks the seal of Adel´s tomb releasing Adel.

Fang sent by the Fal´Cie turns into Ragnarok and is to damage Cocoon´s shell releasing Orphan.
<--- -Whoa, you HAVE to put a spoiler tag on that end of the game stuff, FE. Please don't make me edit your post again. ~ Rye

Therefore the physical similarity is not a coincidence.

My definition of similarity is->A reference of a game on another.

[Masamunemaster]

I dont think its much of a comparison to 8...more like 10 if you ask me, probably how the plot is in general "Lets take down the government, yet in the end we end up taking down something much bigger than imagined". That ends up being almost every game though.

One thing that really makes me think it is how much Seymour and Barthandalous(sp?) have in common..

Fang sent by the Fal´Cie turns into Ragnarok and is to damage Cocoon´s shell releasing Orphan.

DUDE! SPOILERS! TAKE THE BIG ICON THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS --> :eek: AND PUT IT AROUND ANYTHING THAT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SPOILER. ITS NOT HARD.

[Future Esthar]

Sorry.I think on every FF there is a time limit for the prohibition of spoiling.
Since by now I saw most of the members finished the game I wondered if this limit is reached.

Cid is a l´cie <--- Please use spoiler tags, FE. Please don't make me edit your post again. ~ Rye
like our characters and he ended up working for the enemy.
Seifer equally starts working with us but ended against us.
Both characters have a "romantic" dream also.At the prision Seifer considered himself to be the good guy fighting "evil" Squall.
More on this will be shown when I reveal the identity of Disley.

EDITED:

Anima represents Edea but only after the revelation of Disley can this be totally shown to you.
Our characters were to fight Edea but ended in a bad situation.
The atmosphere is similar to the end of the battle with Anima.
A flashback is seen thereafter in both situations.
Edea is a sorceress from Centra.
Anima is a Fal´Cie from Pulse.

Err, no. It's common courtesy. If you're going to flood the forums with these half-assed theories, at least be considerate. Point-in-case: I still use spoiler tags when I talk about Final Fantasy VI, kay?

[Rye]

Put all end game revelations behind a spoiler tag, everyone, please. The time limit is after a few years, not a few weeks. Many people are still playing and beginning this game. It's a common courtesy. Thank you.
