I've heard the stories that different characters in games(especially FFVIII) are based on real life people. Is there any concrete evidence that they are based on people in real life like an interview with a developer? I'm not attacking anyone, I'm just curious. All I've ever heard are statements like, "Squall looks so much like Gackt that Squall must be based off of him". If anyone knows of any good references I would be very interested. It'd be an interesting read to see what makes a developer pick someone in the real world to model a character after.
