star wars rip off (spoils mabye)
in episode 1 yoda says to annikan
"fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
in the end off ff9 necron says to zidane
"fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
now is this a coincidence or is sqaure getting lazy on thinking of new stuff so that they steal from george lukeus? let me remind you have episode 1 came out in 1999 and FF9 came out in 2000.

It's probably a coincedence...butwhaddayagonnado?
Square has always borrowed stuff from Star Wars, Biggs and Wedge are in FFVI, VII, and VIII. Plus there is a scene in FFVI where Locke will say somthing similar to what Luke said to Leah inside the DeathStar in Episode IV.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
i forgot about biggs and wedge

I'm too lazy to go back and watch the movies again, what other "coincidences" are there?
Well another FFVI thing, the Returners were kinda like the Rebels, and they were up against the Empire.
This has kinda become a general FF kinda thing, so I'ma boot it there.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
"Contestants, May Yevon be with you."
All Square had to do was make Mika green.
Also, in FFX, Lulu says
"You see they envy the living, in time their envy turns to anger, even hate."
It doesn't surprise me very much. When FFX was just coming out they had a big area in the Official Playstation Magazine that gave some interests of the people working on the game.
For the question. "Favorite Movie" Pretty much all of them had the Star Wars movies listed.
I have nocited that. Heck FF2 reminds me of Star Wars.
A long time fan of Final FantasyI have always like the Final Fantasy games and I always well.
It's an external refrence
As I recall in FF6. In Locke's sencerio, if you resuce Celes in the soldier uniform she says "your a little to short fo a soldier". Leah said that to Luke when he resuced her in Episode 4 A New Hope. But of course she said Strom tropper instead of soldier.
Lets Biltz
At least FF has real swords, instead of flashy buzzy ones. But in recent games, the swords have been coming more and more ridiculous.
So FF loves Star Wars... who cares!? it's no rip off, it's just a way of saying how much they love SW.
Well, the fact that in FFIX (SPOILER)Necron's only substantial dialogue was lifted directly from Episode 1, kind of serves to reinforce many people's opinion that this character was a poorly planned, last-minute addition to the game which served no purpose but to fill space.
External references are one thing, but 'borrowing' script has little charm.
FFIX also has a couple of Star Trek references which people have noticed - Black Waltz #2's assertion that "resistance is futile", and a random guy on the streets of Lindblum who tells Zidane, "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!" when quizzed about the Three Potions.
Indeed. The best weapon in both FFVII and FFVIII is a giant, blue-tinged crystal blade. Let's hope they don't "progress" to swords of pure energy in future...At least FF has real swords, instead of flashy buzzy ones. But in recent games, the swords have been coming more and more ridiculous.

Yep, I noticed that too. Plus in FF8 you see Squall, the main character, wearing two belts forming an "X", the exact same way Han Solo was wearing them.
Star Wars isn't original either, they copied most of there stuff off of some asian religion.
