Final Fantasy VII might be Star Wars!
But chances are it's not.
There's actually hardly anything, if anything at all, that could be legitimately tied into Star Wars. But, by using the power of imagination...
... I've found a few things that should prove pretty entertaining.
Red XIII is Darth Vader
You heard me right, friends! Red XIII is none other than the dark father. Reasoning? I don't need reasoning! But because I am a benevolent Guardian I shall oblige.
Red XIII's true name is Nanaki, an anagram of... ANAKIN!
Another interesting thing is that they both have scars over the same eye.
It has also been said by Star Wars and Final Fantasy enthusiasts (and also by a certain thunder stealing thread :mad:) that Red XIII is a shout-out to Luke's original X-Wing squadron, Red Squadron, but I personally think that's a stretch. That's like saying Cloud is Luke just because they're both blonde.
Cloud is Luke
Because their hair... defines them. "That spiky haired guy..." "That blonde kid with the Wookiee..." Ya dig?
Also, Cloud's ultimate weapon is strikingly similar to a lightsaber.
Well, you can't see it there, but it glows in the game and looks like it's pulsing energy. Very lightsaber-like.
The Lifestream is The Force
Both are unlimited(ish) amounts of energy that can be channeled to unleash devastating power.
And, unfortunately, we have our finale up next. There really wasn't much I could do with this game, but I saved the best for last. This event involving Biggs and Wedge is almost verbatim what happened in Star Wars. Almost is the key word there.
Here we see Wedge hanging back from going any further towards the main goal of the first mission in the game, to destroy the Mako reactor. He says he's setting up a bomb, but I think he's making sure he stays alive.
And a little later we see Biggs, hanging out with you. It seems he wants to join you in your quest to lay waste to the Mako reactor.
... Or not. Maybe he just wants to BS.
SEEMS FAMILIAR THOUGH!
Note: Events may or may not have happened as portrayed.
See what I'm saying? Almost the same. Well, maybe not right there, but if you know your Star Wars then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
And that's all I have for Final Fantasy VII unfortunately. :(
