A while ago before I bought this game I looked up a few reviews for it there is no way i was gonna buy it if they made it as bad as FF X-2.Anyway i came across a review saying that this game copies the plot of star wars the only evidence he supplied was the bad guys are called the empire I disregarded that thinking it was just another reason to bash the game but now ive played it and i started thinking holy hell hes right think about it. Your main character is poor lives in slums and is surrounded by desert (Tatoonie and luke skywalker ) and then meets a space pirate named balthier who owns a airship (Han Solo and the milennium falcon)along with his half animal half human thing Fran(Chewbacca)and then a princess named ashe(Princess leia) and some 40 year old swordwielder basch (Obi Wan) and a useless whiny girl Penelo(C3PO)

The areas are also based on Star Wars the place the Viera live in looks a lot like where the wookies live treehouses and all Nabredus deadlands looks like Dagobah (the planet yoda trains luke)Mt Bur Omisace is Hoth and look into my eyes and tell me Bhujerba aint Cloud City.

This game was obviously to some extent based on Star Wars discuss.
