Fictional aliens have no defined color, it depends on the imagination of the writer or artist. As for real aliens (assuming they exist) I have no idea.
As I said, seven is a common number. Maybe they were put in for mystical reasons (seven is considered lucky), but it could still just be a coincidence. I doubt anyone have delved into the appearance of any other numbers as extensively.
This is green?
Even if it is green, can you say that no alien can come in the color of green?
Did you type "Green Aliens" in google search? There are tons of them! :monster:

But that colour doesn't match.

Bright green then!
More like light blue.
And there are green aliens. :monster:
Looks kind of Toitoise to me...
Butr wait, Terra was blue! It's FFIX as well!Quote:

An example of a connection I accept is the Ultima Weapon in FFVIII carries Cloud's Ultima Weapon sword in its hand. As far as I can tell, they look identical. You can draw all sorts of conclusions from this, but the most likely is since the sword was dropped by the FFVII Ultima Weapon (although it was not shown wielding it), then it would make sense that the FFVIII version carries a version of the sword as well.
Explain your reasoning why this is so.Quote:

I'm not saying it's not. But a reflection it is.Quote:
That was one hell of a gigantic reflection, then.

Because it looks ominous.Quote:
But why bother showing it in certain areas of the game? Squall's desert sky turning green at some point, and the power source...
'Little green men' normally aren't green.Quote:
Look, Christmas. PuPu is green, right? It's the exact same colour as these things... Normally, aliens aren't green...
New one by me!
Pupu isn't green.
None of your 'greens' are alike in color. And the reflection of the moon and the image of meteor are nothing alike in shape.Quote:

I don't think Squall's conscience is supposed to express green-ish. More like, black, brown, silver or grey.Quote:

Which has ANYTHING to do with green looking suitably ominous... HOW?Quote:

No. They are both greenish. That's about it. They're not even remotely close otherwise. And Pupu is decidedly blue. Light blue, but blue. Like the lionheart.Quote:

Really, I don't think Green is an ominous colour. Players who played VIII also likely to have played VII.Quote:

In VIII, they look at this thing with the same colour - oh, green.
Definitely not ominous!
No one said the trip was a quick one. You just see a cut scene or two during the trip.Quote:

It's a cut to later, Serapy. Hence the watery fade to black.Quote:

Then all of a sudden, the green colour comes out of no where and flashing. Then the sky goes back to normal (grey)
Green is way out of these colours' leagues. Is green a typical colour to represent the 'depressed' side of Squall? No!
I only have one explanation: this green thing was what powered Squall's illusion and hence these flashing greens.
The sky is not red during the 'passing over the moon' shot, Serapy, which is the only time the reflection appears.Quote:

Secondly, all of this, what you're doing, is speculating. You are inventing meanings for these colors, and who knows, it might be right, but you have nary a lick of proof to support these assumptions, or the assumption that green is a power source for the 'illusion' instead of just another emotion.
