    Pink Grin EVERY Final Fantasy (that I've played) is Star Wars! (spoilers)

    Seeing as there's been one in FFVIII and FFIX forums, I might as well just tell you that they all have some Star Wars stuff in them. As I've said before, they obviously had a fan among the FF team.


    Obviously Necron uses one of Yoda's lines in FFIX.

    The revelation of the true identity of Sin is mildy comparable to the revelation of Darth Vader, despite the fact that the two characters are nothing like each other. The real simularity is Tidus' reaction to it. There is also the Dark Knight (I think? It's been a while) in FFII, who is no one's father, but he is related to someone.

    Biggs and Wedge show up in a few games, and Piet(sp?) appears in VIII, Red XIII is literally pronounced "Red 13" which may refer to the Red Squadren (all of which are numbered).

    The phrase "I have a bad feeling about this... appears in Star Wars, and Final Fantasy a few times.

    There's always at least one character who has some kind of supernatural skill, this is the force, in a sense.

    Thorn (as in Zorn and Thorn) in FFIX spoke in strangley constructed sentances. So did Yoda.

    You can see remains of the Star Wars ships in the dessert in FFX.

    Some say, that "Nannaki" is an anagram - I'll reserve that until I check the proper translation.

    FFVII has a character called "Cait SITH" - I have heard somewhere that this is a mistranslation of "Cat She", but seeing as "Stray" was a mistranslation of "Cait Sith" this is ver doubtful.

    FFIV's "Red Rings" are the Red Squadren.

    The music played at the start of FFIV is somewhat similar to Star Wars music.

    FFVI has an airship called the "Falcon", probably named after the Millenium Falcon.

    "Aren't you a little short for an Imperial Soldier?" in FFVI, very similar to a line in Star Wars.

    There is a place in FFX ten called "Luca" - that's just one letter away from "Lucas".

    I'm sure there's more. FF and FFV haven't been singled out yet (not played FFIII).

    Are you joking? I say that like once a week in everyday life.

    not on purpose

    The revelation of the true identity of Sin is mildy comparable to the revelation of Darth Vader, despite the fact that the two characters are nothing like each other.

    hes marias brother, and he joins your party, and this came out before star wars didnt it?

    Biggs and Wedge show up in a few games, and Piet(sp?) appears in VIII, Red XIII is literally pronounced "Red 13" which may refer to the Red Squadren (all of which are numbered).
    biggs and wedge is on purpose, it is a reference. red 13 is because he is red, and he is subject 13

    The phrase "I have a bad feeling about this... appears in Star Wars, and Final Fantasy a few times.
    it also appears in just about evry action movie

    There's always at least one character who has some kind of supernatural skill, this is the force, in a sense.
    thats true of every movie and game. look at megaman

    Thorn (as in Zorn and Thorn) in FFIX spoke in strangley constructed sentances. So did Yoda.
    thorn always said the same thing as zorn in a gimmaky way, it was suposed to be funny, not yoda-y

    You can see remains of the Star Wars ships in the dessert in FFX.
    no, no, no, no, no, no!

    Some say, that "Nannaki" is an anagram - I'll reserve that until I check the proper translation.
    its not, I just did

    FFVII has a character called "Cait SITH" - I have heard somewhere that this is a mistranslation of "Cat She", but seeing as "Stray" was a mistranslation of "Cait Sith" this is ver doubtful.
    sith is baised from latin as is cait, i dont remeber what it means though. cait sith is cait sith from ff2, which came out way before the first time sith was used in sw

    FFIV's "Red Rings" are the Red Squadren.
    omg no, please stop

    The music played at the start of FFIV is somewhat similar to Star Wars music.
    no.

    FFVI has an airship called the "Falcon", probably named after the Millenium Falcon.
    nonononononono.

    "Aren't you a little short for an Imperial Soldier?" in FFVI, very similar to a line in Star Wars.
    that one may be a reference

    There is a place in FFX ten called "Luca" - that's just one letter away from "Lucas".
    omg no. shut up.

    I'm sure there's more. FF and FFV haven't been singled out yet (not played FFIII).
    ff came out first. ffv has no referense to anything.

    Star Wars came out 10 years before Final Fantasy.

    Even if it was about video games it would still have been first. The earliest game I've ever seen was for the Atari and that came out in '83.

    When it comes to Star Wars I'm always right. Except for that one time.

    Depending on what you consider a video game, video games predate Star Wars by at least five years: First video game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I was talking about Star Wars games, should've clarified. The earliest SW I've ever seen was an '83 Atari game. If HC meant games in general then yeah, Star Wars came after.

    Well, a good deal of the people responsible for said games are huge Star Wars fans. Or that's what EGM told me, at least.
    I like Kung-Fu.
