Lazy Character Design

[Jessweeee♪]

People seem to enjoy pointing these things out, so why not devote an entire thread to it?

Example 1:

CALI

In FFX you see a little girl on the Mi'ihen Highroad named Cali, then two years later she gets a little taller, gets a nice tan, and changes her wardrobe! FFX-2 Cali clones can be seen in several places in FFX.
1. In the stands during the blitzball tournament in Luca.
2. I think I saw her in Kilika.
3. In Remiem (that seems off, I must've gotten that wrong) Temple you see Cali again, as a fayth of one of the Magus Sisters!
4. I know there was some other fourth place! Someone help!


Example 2:

RED HAIRED GIRL

1. During the little party before the game starts in Zanarkand.
2. During one of Tidus's flashbacks of Zanarkand (though it's not so odd that she'd be seen in two different places in the same city...I mean she lives there....)
3. You see twin red-heads on either side of Rin during the Sphere Break tournament in FFX-2.

Probably had a set time to design NPCs.

[Blackjack]

Its not really lazyness, you can't expect them to create unique NPC models for every NPC character in the game.

[Renmiri]

FFX2 has kids from Dream Zanarkand still with their Zanarkand T-Shirts.

I know that

It's just fun to spot out repeats n.n

[remnant1]

dude,npcs are repeated in every game

[~Death~Stalker~910]

wat?

Its just fun to point them out

It does seem quite stupid to use DZ and Fayth NPC's as normal people in X-2. Surely they could've copied some Spiran NPC's instead...

I thought assassins creed made it so that every npc was a different one.

For real fun, try recruiting the Free Agents Kiyuki, Kyou, Durren, and Vilucha. You can have your Fayth Blitzball team, including the Fayth of (respectively) Sandy, Yojimbo, Ifrit, and Cindy. Somehow the idea of playing Blitzball with Fayth seems eerily appropriate.

For the record, the only unique Fayth are Bahamut's and Anima's.

Indeed. That kinda belittles them in my view...

Agreed. My guess is since the Fayth of Anima and Bahamut are the both central to the story, they get a specific character design while the other Fayth are incidental, so they get a reused generic design. Also I'm sure a lot of people don't even realize you can go back and meet every Fayth.

It's not a coincidence that Anima and Bahamut are the only Fayth you learn anything about. I'd love to hear about the other Fayth and their stories. Particularly Valefor and the Magus Sisters.

I would just like to say it is not fun to point them out.
