Is it just me or does Zadine Remind you of Goku. I'll point out some similarites
Both from a different planet.
Both have a tail.
Both don't know they are from a different planet until there evil brother comes down to inform them.
Both have an evil brother.
Evil brother Turns SUPER SAYAIN.
Goku and Zadines home planet both get distroyed.
They are both one of the last few of there Race.
does anyone else see the conection or am I takeing Crazy pills
Kuja never became a SUPER SAIYAN.....
And no....nothing about FFIX has ever made me think of DBZ. They're just completely.....no.
Yes, there are similarities between Dragonball and FFIX, but it really isn't that surprising. :cat:
Dragonball Z, like Kevin Bacon, can be connected to everything, from Final Fantasy IX to Bob down the street.
But I wouldn't say they go "super saiyan" because it doesn't take them 37 episodes to power up into Trance mode.
Yeah, but it does have striking resemblences to Dragonball, for the reasons mentioned. I already noticed these, but like I said, I don't find it too surprising. :cat: Dragonball was/is pretty popular (I'd imagine more so in Japan), so meh.
Aheheh ^_^
Actually I HAVE thought this before. But I didn't say anything because I didn't want the FFIX Fans to send their monkeys to attack me. Which will now commence ~_^
nope cause there were only 4 saiyans left with goku and there was about 25 monkeys and zidanes world wasn't destroyed as you can see on the fourth disc DUH:p
This information has Pwnd me to the tenth degree. >_>Quote:

I'm just glade that other people noticed it as well, becuase all my freinds think I'm retarted, but they haven't watched DBZ so they don't know.
It's not bad, it's actually quite cute. :cat:
But...y'do know that Toriyama also designed the characters for Chrono Trigger right? :p I'd assume you do. Well, that's why they'd look alike. (Chrono and Son Goku.) Meh. :cat:
Plural Characters? Isn't his secret to design one and just copy paste with new hair *dodges and evades the angryness*Quote:

I can understand why you'd think he doesn't have originality, but every artist has their own style. Though if you really think he just re-uses every design, you really should look at other things he's done work on. :cat: :P
And who can honestly resist Trance Kuja?
Oh you know I'm only ruffling feathers...Coz we sure need more of that in this place. He made Lucca, I'd let the guy use me as a rug. Lucca is awesome incarnate.Quote:

Agreed, he was an excellent villian, his voice was so feminine and cute :DQuote:

Kuja wasn't his brother, he was of his species though, he accidentally got an extra female chromosome stuck in him. besides the tail, I don't think so.
i dont think their deliberate similarities. just coincidence.
The listed articles happen to relate to DBZ, but moreso, they are related to mainstays in the FF series. Evil brothers, not knowing you have people related to you, former homes getting destroyed... The tail thing I'll give you, but there is very little content (if any) that points to Zidane being a copy of a Dragonball character.
Maybe its when Kuja reaches permanant trance from the time he blows up in rage and destroys Pandemonium to when he tries destroying the Crystal.Quote:

Nah, I think it sucked after Cell. Cell was really cool.But Buu? Come on. It's like fighting a piece of gum that eats you after someone stronger comes. Absolutely stupid and crap.Quote:

This never happened in DBZQuote:

FFVIII copied DBZ!
Squall=Goku
Rinoa=Chichi
Quistis=Bulma
Seifer=Vegeta
Edea=Freiza
Well not really because its just a story that many games/animation that might follow because its a good interesting story to watch or play and kuja goes into a trance not a super saiyan.
I thought that too. The bit about Zidane not coming from Earth but being fostered, like Goku. And Kuja being of the same race-but evil.
Yeah, sometimes FFIX reminded me of DBZ, but mostly just because of the whole tail-thing.
But thats about it.
Beat me to it.Quote:

That's not technically true. But there's no point putting spoilers in for the sake of a troll.Quote:

I just remember thinking 'this reminds me of DBZ' during good chunks of FFIX.

I like it when Satan meet with Buu (the fat one) and Satan becomes Buu's servant.
Anyway, FFIX didn't have any connection with DBZ, it's just a coincidence. Maybe, Hironobu Sakaguchi is DBZ fans, that's all.
I m confused, Raditz turned SSJ? dont think so! Those are a few similiar things, but FF has a much better story behind it. Plus, transforming is pretty common in fantasy stories. Besides, a Super Saiyan looks way different from trance, where every character looks different. Personally, I don 't believe you 're right. but hey, who cares? It 's only an opinion.Quote:

EVERYTHING is DBZ
