Discuss the similarities here...

Palamecia=palpentine.
I'm not a Star Wars fan and have no idea who that is.
Just a guess off another website.
They have lots of name origins.
No offense EoFF.

I didn't really notice any similarities.

Lionheart is sorta like Darth Vader if you stretch your imagination.

[Captain Maxx Power]

And Mystidia is sorta the Jedi council...if you happen to be suffering from severe oxygen loss.

Ha! Someone remembered my old thread! I feel loved.

Dark Knight-Darth Vader
Emperor-Emperor
Empire-Empire
Rebel Alliance-....Rebel Alliance
Ricard-A bit like Obi Wan Kenobi (Last Dragoon, last Jedi)
Princess Hilda-Princess Leia
Cid- A bit Han Solo-ish.
Guy- I always thought of him as a bit like Chewbacca. He can talk to beavers man!

hmmm. I like the simularities in here. I mean, there is some in here that i didn't know of. Like in final fantasy viii, bigs and wedge, they are from star wars.

FF and Star Wars may have simmilarites but they are total coincidences

[DJZen]

Probably not. Biggs and Wedge later in the series were certainly intentional enough...

well I'm now into FFII playing to the part right before you go to recruit the dragoons and I noticed a few things already such as the rebels and empire that an obvious one but the thing that stuck out the most so far to me is where the dreadnought is chasing cids airship and captures it. That part really reminds me of the beginning of star wars where the imperial star destroyer captures the princess' ship.

He said all the similarities except the charachters in Star Wars actually have some sort of development.

No they were never coincedences. FF producers commonly draw their storylines from movies and books and the book.
